That Day I Became A Daughter Of The Demon Lord
Episode 66

* Pow PoV Felicia *

After the dance ended, Reon gave me a code to follow. I nodded, walking behind him until we reached a koi fish pond beside the palace.

He turned his body until now we faced each other. "You don't want to say anything to me?"

I frowned. "You brought me here, Crown Prince. You should have said something first."

"Oh is that so?"

I exhaled. "What do you want?"

"What do you usually do after being helped by another demon?"

I looked at him with a flat look. "Give me my life to her?"

She wanted me to thank you, but it was too convoluted. Oh, my God, this creature.

"Humm, not bad."

He took a few steps, then knelt down. His left hand went into the suit of clothes he was wearing. God, what's he gonna do? He couldn't have proposed to me, right?

"Your hand."

Without speaking, I reached out my hand.

His right hand held my hand. This time he did not clutch as hard as he usually did. His left hand put something on my wrist. It was the bracelet, the bracelet I used to buy Selena.

"Why didn't you ask for my help? 80 Gold coins is nothing to me."

"I don't like to bother others."

He is now standing. "If you need help, don't ask me."

I frowned. "Since when have you turned into a person who cares so much about others?"

He did not answer, then left me to go back to the room where the party was.

"How does it feel to dance with my sister? You can have it if you want."

I just joined when Viona said so. I just returned with a smile. "I told you, I'm not interested in that yet."

The sparkling eyes that Viona had shown instantly disappeared, changing with a pouting face.

"Well, is the ring made of equatorial stone?" alleria asked as she touched my left hand to look at the ring that was coiled around my middle finger.

"Yep. Ah, what about Princess Aluna's equatorial stone? Already found?"

Alleria nodded. "There's in my cat's orchid pot. Maybe the stone fell, then one of the servants took it as a pebble and put it there."

I nodded slightly, starting to feel something was wrong here.

"A glass of chocolate milk for Princess Felicia."

I turned my head, looking at Selena who was smiling sweetly at me. "You want to make me fat?"

He lowered.

She finally smiled, putting the milk on the dresser. He grabbed the green comb and started combing my wet black hair.

"What is the Princess thinking?"

Selena is a type of girl who is cheerful and has a high curiosity. While I was studying in my personal library, he accompanied me to read books. He even borrowed some books to read during his free time.

He could not use magic at all. This made him a slave and a slave. Though his senses have high sensitivity. He's also pretty smart. But I couldn't put my trust in him yet, given Edgar's message that there were so many traitors around me, and I shouldn't just trust aliens.

Selena is still a stranger because she has only served me for about a month.

"Mr Princess can talk to me about it if the Princess doesn't mind. I'm good at keeping secrets."

"You're good at keeping secrets?"

He nodded, I could see him through the mirror in front of me. "Of course, Selena was loyal to you to death."

"But my papa, His Majesty King Edgar, was once betrayed by a creature he thought was his own mother" I replied as he sipped the chocolate milk he had made for me.

He pursed his lips. "That means the Princess has not fully believed in my loyalty?"

"Yet. How can you be loyal to a man who likes to tell and can't talk softly like me?"

He smiles. "But the sentimental, non-talking creature saved me a month ago. He also allowed me to read books, and drink my chocolate milk even though it would make me fat."

I exhaled a long breath. "You're very good at words."

"Thank you, Princess." He laughed with pride.

"That's not a compliment."

And that one sentence made her happy laughter instantly disappear.

"I feel like one of my friends is trying to put me in a difficult situation."

"Mr Princess is framed?"

I'm silent for a moment. "You remember the day I found you?"

He nodded. "I will never forget it until I die."

"We were forced to go home because suddenly a valuable item belonging to my friend was missing."

"What kind of thing is that, Princess?"

"Equator stone. Very rare and expensive stone. Even your salary for 5 years isn't enough to buy it."

"Then the Princess just raise my salary" he said with a sinless face.

"You want to be beheaded?"

He shook. "No Princess, I was just kidding. Then what does the stone have to do with the Princess feeling that it is being framed?"

"Just a moment before she shouted the stone was gone, suddenly there was a small pebble in my dress pocket. I threw it away, put it in a pot of cat orchid plants belonging to his sister."

His forehead wrinkled. "I think I'm starting to understand."

I'm nodding. "At the feast of Ares Vermillion Gregory's birth, his sister said that the stone was found in her cat's orchid pot."
