The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 513: “You’re Acting Strange, Little One.”

After the eventful night, as dawn broke, Shien opened his eyes, feeling slightly suffocated.

Two beautiful faces, one big and one small, appeared before him.

“Mmm…”

Lilith was lying in Shien’s arms, her head resting on his arm, sucking on one of his fingers, sleeping soundly and mumbling in her sleep.

Clearly, sleeping with Shien was a happy dream for Lilith.

On Shien’s other arm, another girl was nestled against him, but she wasn’t sleeping as peacefully.

“Explain yourself…”

The Kingdom’s treasure muttered these words in her sleep, as if still upset about something, her slender, white hands wrapped around Shien’s neck, tightening their grip.

The feeling of suffocation Shien was experiencing was thanks to this princess.

Seriously…

“Is she trying to strangle me even in her sleep?”

Shien rolled his eyes.

This princess seemed to have been clinging to him all night, demanding an explanation for his earlier remarks that deliberately provoked Airi.

“I… I’m not even pregnant yet…”

Before falling asleep completely, Shien seemed to hear these tearful words.

If others heard this, they would probably retort,

“If you were pregnant, that would be a real disaster!”

The most beautiful woman in the human world, the Kingdom’s treasure, the princess known as the modern Hero, actually pregnant before marriage?

That would definitely shock the entire world of Omnipotence.

As a result, this lazy princess, seemingly exhausted from her tantrum, climbed into bed, deliberately preventing Shien from sleeping comfortably while holding Lilith, and fell asleep.

“It’s a good thing we’re not in the capital…”

Otherwise, the princess not returning to her room all night?

That would be another headline-grabbing news.

As Shien thought about this idly, his sleepiness gradually faded.

He didn’t intend to continue sleeping and prepared to get up.

“Mmm…”

Lilith let out a soft moan and, with Shien’s gentle movements, left his embrace. Shien covered her with a blanket.

As for Lucy…

“Hey, let go of me, you’re choking me.”

“Damn it…”

“I said let go, why are you tightening your grip?”

“I’ll strangle you to death, you scumbag…”

“…You’re awake, aren’t you?”

“Mmm…”

“Fine, you win. I give up.”

After some struggling, Shien finally managed to pry open the hands of this princess, who almost strangled her fiancé in her sleep, laid her down properly, and covered her with a blanket.

Then, Shien, finally free, got out of bed.

And then he noticed something.

“How did my clothes get changed…?”

This made Shien’s heart skip a beat, and he turned his head, as if sensing something, and looked to the side.

The next moment…

“Good morning, Mr. Shien.”

Lasha, like a statue, stood quietly in the corner of the room, speaking only when Shien looked at her.

“…It’s been a while, Miss Lasha.”

Shien was silent for a moment, then said calmly.

He was used to this.

So, there was nothing to be surprised about, right?

Unfortunately, Lasha wasn’t so easily dismissed.

“I said yesterday that I would try to improve and let Mr. Shien take care of his needs with me.”

Lasha said the most thought-provoking words in the calmest manner.

“…Did you do something to me again?”

Shien couldn’t help but ask.

Lasha didn’t answer, just stared at Shien.

Shien immediately backed down.

“Alright, forget I asked.”

Some things were better left unknown.

That way, he might be happier.

“In that case, I won’t report it.” Lasha said with her usual impassive expression. “I’ve also helped Mr. Shien wash up and change. Breakfast is ready in the living room.”

“Alright.” Shien forced himself to suppress his curiosity, as if he didn’t want to give himself a chance to regret it, and nodded readily. “Then I’ll go out first.”

“Yes.” Lasha replied, still standing there motionless.

Clearly, this amazing maid’s work wasn’t finished yet.

Next, she would probably take care of Lilith, Lucy, and even the three Demon Lords in the next room.

Shien turned around, preparing to leave the room.

At this moment, Lasha suddenly spoke.

“There are quite a few little guests outside. Please try not to disturb them, Mr. Shien.”

These words stunned Shien.

Guests?

Little guests?

What was going on?

With this question in mind, Shien left the room and went to the living room.

Then, Shien finally understood what Lasha meant by “little guests.”

“Twinkle…”

Under a faint light, small, shadowy figures were flitting around the living room like butterflies.

“Fairies?”

Shien was surprised.

There were many fairies in the living room, flying around.

“Whoosh!”

As Shien exclaimed in surprise, the fairies in the living room scattered as if frightened.

Some flew into cups and hid, some flew behind furniture, some hid on the beams, and some hid in the compartments, using their small bodies to disappear without a trace.

“So timid?”

Shien couldn’t help but be amused.

And as Shien chuckled, the little fairies cautiously poked their heads out from various corners, looking at Shien, seemingly afraid, yet also wanting to approach him.

This made Shien’s heart stir, and after a moment of thought, he suddenly released his magic power.

“Hum…”

With a tremor in the air, Shien’s magic power, like a faint light, slowly seeped out.

Shien didn’t unleash all his immense magic power, but carefully controlled the output, releasing it gently.

With the absolute control over magic power granted by [Inner Perception of Heaven’s Decree], this was child’s play for Shien.

Shien even specifically adjusted the nature of his magic power, making it as close to nature as possible, gentle, soft, and even faintly brimming with life force.

“Whoosh!”

The fairies who had been hiding in the living room suddenly stirred, becoming agitated.

They seemed to want to come out, but were also hesitant, the light on their bodies flickering.

Seeing this, Shien smiled and beckoned to the fairies.

“Come, come here.”

Shien softened his voice, trying not to scare them.

The fairies looked at each other, then seemed to whisper among themselves, becoming even more agitated.

Shien waited patiently.

He waited for an unknown amount of time.

Until a certain moment, a fairy seemed to muster her courage and flew out from a corner.

Shien’s eyes lit up, and he reached out towards the fairy.

Shien focused his gentle, natural magic power on his hand, letting a dense life force emanate from it.

The fairy, as if attracted, or unable to resist the temptation, slowly flew towards Shien.

Soon, the fairy arrived before Shien, and after hesitating for a moment, carefully reached out her tiny hand.

The next moment, their hands, vastly different in size, touched.

Shien felt a very, very light touch on his hand.

It was like a feather landing on his palm, the sensation ticklish and soft.

Shien didn’t hesitate and channeled his magic power, letting this natural magic power flow out, through their touching hands, and into the fairy’s body.

“Twinkle!”

A bright light emanated from the fairy’s body.

“—”

In that instant, the fairy, as if startled, or perhaps feeling comfortable, suddenly began to dance happily.

And she danced around Shien, scattering specks of light around him, a beautiful sight.

“Haha.”

Shien’s mood also improved, and he chuckled, starting to interact with the little fairy.

The fairy was no longer afraid of Shien and played with him happily.

This scene made the other fairies hiding in the corners restless.

In the end, they couldn’t resist and flew out from their hiding places, coming to Shien’s side.

Shien welcomed them all, releasing gentle magic power from his body.

“—”

The fairies, as if excited, all approached Shien, some sitting on his head, some on his shoulders, some even crawling into his pockets, like they were competing for territory, incredibly active.

And during this process, Shien’s magic power was being absorbed bit by bit by these little fairies, making the light on their bodies brighter.

Then, the fairies became more and more excited and happy, continuously flying around Shien, or landing on him, rubbing against him with their tiny hands and bodies.

Especially the fairy who first came to Shien, she directly occupied one of his cheeks, even giving him a playful kiss on his face, making Shien feel affectionate towards this little fairy.

“You’re acting strange, little one.”

Shien teased the fairy closest to him playfully.

Shien didn’t notice that Carol had arrived at some point and was now staring at this scene in shock.
