The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

After dinner, the night deepened.

Egger stood in front of the main building of the manor to bid farewell to Luo Yan and Mia. He didn't even finish his words before blushing, carrying his suitcase, and hurriedly leaving, afraid to stay a second longer.

This guy is still the same, always excessively polite, a complete contrast to Vivian and those "orthodox demons" when compared together.

"You're welcome to visit often... Also, say hello to your father for me." Watching Egger climb into the carriage, Lady Serena waved with a smile.

Hearing Lady Serena's voice, Egger almost missed a step and took a tumble. Fortunately, the suitcase was already stowed away, so he avoided making a fool of himself.

Lady Serena's smile widened, a fleeting trace of pleasure at the corner of her mouth.

Luo Yan glanced sideways, slightly surprised.

Couldn't tell.

This Lady Padric, who always seems so demure, virtuous, and gracefully composed in front of others, also has a hidden scheming side.

Of course—

Perhaps it's Egger's unique aura.

If Mia is a "highly aggressive" carnivore, then this guy belongs to the category of "always enticing others to bully him" maze-type slime... even though he's completely oblivious to it.

Thinking that this fellow managed to stay safe at the frontline for a year and return unharmed, Luo Yan couldn't help but sweat on his behalf.

"Alright, the nuisance—cough, I mean, dear Aishide Egger has left, let's head back." Lady Serena turned with a smile, resting her hands lightly on Luo Yan and Mia's shoulders, ushering them towards the porch with an undeniable strength, "Come along, sweethearts, Mama will take you back to your room."

What on earth is Aishide...

Is Egger that surname?

Come to think of it, Luo Yan and Egger have known each other for quite a while, yet he's never asked for his surname, nor has Egger ever mentioned it.

Considering the possibility that the other, like himself, is an illegitimate child, making it inconvenient to divulge his surname to outsiders, Luo Yan hadn't pursued it either.

However, in the short moment Luo Yan dazed out, he found himself inexplicably moved from the front hall of the manor to the second floor... without even the memory of stepping forward.

What kind of magic is this?

Could it be a domain?!

Unbelievable?!

"Lady Padric, is this... the direction of the reception room?" Seeing a demon maid hurriedly bow her head and pass by, Luo Yan couldn't gather his words in time, opening his mouth anxiously.

From what he understood of high society in Hell, the second or third floors of the central manor were generally the master's quarters, while guests, even the esteemed, would be lodged in the side corridors of the second floor in a guest wing.

Simply put—

This was not where he should be.

"Lady Padric, that's too distant! You might as well call me like Mia does—"

"MOM!!! What are you doing?! Stop, stop NOW!"

Before Luo Yan could react, Mia let out a near-screeching wail.

A fiery red blush spread from her cheeks to her ears.

From her quivering lips and eyelashes, Luo Yan could clearly see her shock and bewilderment, at a complete loss for what to do.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived in front of an exquisite peach wood door.

On the door was engraved a pink-gold relief of two little demons holding tridents encircling, whose grins stretched to their ears didn't bring on any eerie or terrifying sense; rather, there was a certain charismatic mischievousness to them.

Beside the relief was carved Mia's name—

Undoubtedly, this was someone's boudoir.

Luo Yan could be certain that Lady Serena had used some means related to Extraordinary Power, otherwise they couldn't have crossed the hundred meters without the slightest sense of push.

At this moment, he finally understood what it was like for an ordinary person to be powerless before a high-level Enchanting Demon—there really wasn't even the slightest chance to resist.

Simultaneously, he finally understood why Egger had rushed off so quickly.

That was the instincts of a "veteran" honed through a year at the front—

They got careless!

"We're here!"

Lady Serena clapped her hands triumphantly, then ignoring Mia's desperate attempts to stop her, smilingly grasped the doorknob and opened the door.

"I've tidied the room for you, make yourself at home—cough! I mean, feel free to treat this place as your home."

This lady must have misunderstood the meaning of an overnight stay, or perhaps in the world of enchanting demons, an overnight stay implies this...

But regardless, to avoid future awkwardness, Luo Yan felt it would be more mature to take the initiative to clarify.

Just as he finally organized his words and lightly cleared his throat to say something, the sight that met his eyes left him dumbstruck.

It was a wall full of magic photos.

Among them were the graduation photos of the Demon King Academy, pictures in the classroom, in the cafeteria, or even the library... but those weren't the focus.

The focus was—

"You finally came back, dear. I've been waiting for you so long."

In the frame, the "paper Luo Yan" dressed in the academy uniform wore a comforting smile and spoke words that Luo Yan had never and would never say.

And this wasn't even the cringiest part—

"Why are you coming back so late?"

"Oh ho... seems like a bit of punishment is in order."

Looking at the devilish grin of the "himself" in the frame, Luo Yan fell into a prolonged silence, the soles of his shoes making a faint creaking sound.
