"Aha..."
The dim evening sunlight filtered through the gaps in the light blue curtains, scattering across the brownish-yellow wooden floor.
Having spent an entire day in dreamland, Leticia stretched. With the crisp sound of her bones popping, Miss Demon King was fully revived!
But Leticia's good mood only lasted a few seconds before coming to an end, because she saw the person sitting in her chair.
That pure white bastard.
"What are you doing here again?" Leticia asked in an unfriendly tone.
She must have been dizzy from sleep, as she actually failed to notice Melanie sitting right there. If Melanie had harbored ill intentions just now, she might have paid a very heavy price.
"At noon today, Senpai Sani talked with me about matters related to that book." Melanie looked at Leticia with a complicated gaze, making the black-haired girl feel a bit uneasy. "You should have finished reading that book, right?"
"What, am I not allowed to read it?" Leticia didn't deny it; of course, she didn't think there was anything worth hiding. "Don't tell me this is some secret of your Human Race that can't be shared, and anyone else who reads it has to die."
"Senior said that your Demon Race is very invested in this book. Over the past few years, you've sent messengers multiple times wanting to take it back to the Demon Race." Melanie told Leticia everything she had learned from Senpai Sani. "But due to warnings from several Elf Race and Beastman Race friends, those transactions ultimately failed."
This news came as a bit of a surprise to Leticia. She had never heard of such a thing before she left.
In other words, was Kira the one leading this?
"That's strange. There isn't much useful information in that book. Why would so many factions be involved?" Leticia expressed that, in her eyes, the book was no different from trash. "I'm not lying to you; that book is of no use to me."
Otherwise, would she have returned the book to Melanie so readily?
"I don't know the answer to that question either." Melanie shook her head. Since the book was so highly valued, there must be a reason. "However, I believe you."
Melanie believed Leticia when she said the book was of no great use to her.
She was born with the ability to discern lies, and just now, Leticia was indeed being sincere.
"I'm truly touched, Malanie." Regarding Melanie's trust, Leticia expressed a sarcastic 'ha-ha'. "Alright, you've finished asking what you needed to ask. Now, please beat it, OK?"
Leticia's attitude made Melanie a bit unhappy. "Your attitude is very poor."
"Huh? You still expect me to give you a friendly face?"
"I prefer the blushing version of you from yesterday," Melanie answered calmly, crossing her arms.
"You... that time was an accident, an accident!" Leticia retorted in exasperation. She had been caught off guard; if it happened again, she would definitely steel her heart and push this Melanie person away!
Absolutely!
But soon, she realized she was wrong.
With a'swish', Melanie arrived in front of the girl. The young woman leaned forward slightly, which, combined with her outfit, actually made Leticia feel a wave of dry mouth and thirst. "Really? Your face is just as red now as it was yesterday."
"Go away! Get out now!" For some reason, Leticia felt a surge of panic. In her desperation, she directly hugged her quilt, wanting to use it as a shield.
"Am I that scary?" Seeing Leticia's reaction, which was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring, Melanie felt inexplicably good. "It's not like I'm going to eat you."
"You..." Leticia moved back a bit further, and while she was at it, she loudly called for backup. "Luna!"
*Click*, the bedroom door opened.
Luna poked her head in. "Your Majesty, Malanie, good afternoon."
It seemed she had been waiting at the main door all along.
"Good afternoon," Melanie nodded to Luna.
The arrival of the maid did not make Melanie think of retreating.
"Um... Malanie, Her Majesty is not in a very good mood right now. Could I ask you to move elsewhere for a moment?" Luna certainly knew why Leticia had called her. "If you don't mind, please come to the living room."
"Yes, beat it quickly!" Leticia echoed.
This person always liked to run into her bedroom; she really didn't know what was going through this person's head.
Can a girl's bedroom be entered so casually?
Does she have no common sense?
Oh, right, she really doesn't have common sense. After all, she's the 'god-tier' person who could nonchalantly teleport into Leticia's bathroom completely naked.
Still, her figure is indeed quite good... No, no, no, how can I think about that at a time like this? Leticia quickly pulled her thoughts back.
She couldn't be a pervert like this female pervert. She, Leticia, was a good girl!
"Pity." Melanie shook her head with some regret. "Then I'll head back first. If anything comes up, I'll come find you again."
"When you come to find me, please use the front door! What's the point of teleporting directly into the bedroom!" Leticia added quickly.
"Do you mean that if I use the front door, you would still welcome me?"
"Hehehe, that way I can just keep my door closed and refuse visitors."
