If Shen DaiYing was the canary in a cage that can be viewed from afar but not defiled, his unattainable dream, then Elena also wasn’t some maid that he could casually do that to.
Don’t forget, she was the Demon King, shouldered with the future of the Demons, and still wants to go back. Lin Xiao was only able to keep her due to the contract, even if she’s not willing to dissolve the contract now, what about later on?
One month, one year, five years, ten years… how long could he keep her? Obviously not forever.
Lin Xiao had always thought that the lifestyle he always longed for was a normal peaceful one. He thought that when he first parted ways with Snow, leaving behind his favorite and most cherished little sister, he would go to Loran Academy by himself because of his dreams to become a reserve hero.
He was highly intelligent, adept at acting and also had an innate gift, nothing could stop him, he thought that he would never be tied down by anything. He would never need to responsible for anyone, even if he’s a normal person, he could live free and without any restrictions.
However…
If his dream was analogous to a skyscraper, then it was undoubtedly Snow that helped him build this indestructible building brick by brick and he has always followed along his beliefs, never wavering.
Unfortunately, all that was needed to break this skyscraper down was to take out two seemingly insignificant bricks. One piece was called Elena, and the other was Shen DaiYing.
When that building came crashing down and his beliefs shattered, how long will he be able to persist on his dream?
“Okay, that’s as far as I’ll take you.”
Xiao Hua’s voice pulled Lin Xiao back to reality from his sadness.
There was still a short distance until the banquet hall, so Xiao Hua wanted to take this opportunity to educate this demon maid with proper noble etiquette.
“Elena, it’s okay if you want to attend with Lin Xiao, but you have to be careful to not make a fool of yourself! You two are distinguished guests personally invited by our lady, so don’t disgrace us… do you understand?”
Xiao Hua turned and approached the indifferent maid.
“Oh.”
Elena blinked and agreed.
“Your conducts have to be fitting for a maid, you can’t make too much noise or show too much emotion, you have to maintain a heart ready to serve your master at a moment’s notice and follow your master’s intention… even though Lin Xiao is scum, he knows how to handle things, so you have to listen to him and don’t mess around.”
Xiao Hua paused, it seemed like her last sentence was referring to something.
“Oh.”
Elena didn’t understand and continued blinking.
“Elena, although I admit that you’re indeed beautiful, but that doesn’t mean you can act unrestrained. After you go in, never bare your breasts to seduce men, you better conceal your chest properly!”
“Oh.”
While Elena was responding, she subconsciously tugged the fabric at her chest, as if she was rather concerned.
“Also, your regularly clothes are definitely no good, it’s too revealing, it definitely has to change… eh? Oh, you already changed.”
Xiao Hua planned to take Elena to get a set of appropriate maid attire but ended up realizing that Elena already changed her clothes! Before she was focusing on Lin Xiao and didn’t even notice what Elena was wearing. When she took a closer look, it was astonishing!
“Beautiful…”
Elegant and suiting, conservative but not losing her sexiness. Her new maid outfit made her cute and beautiful like a princess, then paired with her beauty and unique silver hair with red eyes, it was comparable to a goddess.
Isn’t this maid too beautiful? There shouldn’t be a maid like this.
Xiao Hua couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
Even though she knew that Shen DaiYing would be wearing a gorgeous dress, wearing expensive jewellery, and will definitely be more beautiful and captivating.
But…
Frankly speaking, Elena was already able to threaten Shen DaiYing’s position. What if everyone’s attention was attracted by Elena when the banquet starts, wouldn’t her lady just become the lame accompaniment?
How could a lowly maid steal the spotlight from a princess!
Xiao Hua really didn’t understand what Lin Xiao was thinking, he even specially dressed up his maid so beautifully, like he was afraid that people didn’t know he was a two-timer!
This bastard…
Full of resentment towards Lin Xiao and absolute sympathy for Shen DaiYing, Xiao Hua didn’t want to see this scum of a two-timer anymore and also that maid with weapons of mass destruction and decided to quickly leave.
“The banquet is about to start, it’s at the end of the corridor… I still have something to attend to, so I’m going to leave first, you can head over.”
“Okay Xiao Hua, help me tell your lady that I’m very thankful for her invitation and I hope she… eh, Xiao Hua?”
Lin Xiao wanted to extend some polite formalities but Xiao Hua disappeared in a blink of an eye, even Elena couldn’t detect her, it was like she just vanished off the face of the earth.
“Uh… it seems like Sister Ying’s attendant isn’t ordinary either.”
Xiao Hua naturally had her own skills to become Shen DaiYing’s confidant, stealth was probably one of them? But this wasn’t something Lin Xiao should worry about.
Lin Xiao had another brief talk with Elena, and they finally reached an agreement. Since this was the Lombard Kingdom’s royal palace, and the stakes were high, Lin Xiao requested her to strictly follow his orders. She definitely couldn’t throw a tantrum or purposely mess with him like before.
All that nonsense from before didn’t matter, LIn Xiao could forgive her, but if she dared to cause him trouble during the banquet then he had no way of forgiving her anymore.
Elena was silent at his orders and just coldly snorted in agreement.
Lin Xiao didn’t know whether to believe her or not… let’s just trust her this time.
“Go straight is it… uh, isn’t this too large.”
Following Xiao Hua’s directions, Lin Xiao headed straight through the long corridor and saw a magnificent banquet hall at the end.
“We’re not late, right?”
Lin Xiao already saw a lot of people standing within the hall, then men wore handsome slim-fitting clothes, the females wearing sexy laced dresses. They were each holding their own goblets, talking and laughing waiting for the banquet to start.
“Cough, it seems like we’re not… Elena, follow me.”
Lin Xiao cleared his throat, tidied his inexpensive clothes, straightened himself and prepared to enter.
But before he could even step into the hall, a man suddenly walked out from the side and stood in front of him blocking his way.
“Hey kid, what are you doing?”
