I shook my head and then walked past him without saying a word; I didn't have time for this right now.
"At least think about it!" Mex called as I walked into the house and found the girls waiting for me. ??
Jilly looked tense, but the rest of the girls were relaxing on the couches. Mary was curled up with Nushi on one side of her, and the Cerberus girls were on the other side of her.
I went straight over to Jilly and smiled up at her.
"I just need to go talk to Lidy about cooking for her after. Do you want to meet me in the bathroom?" I asked Jilly, and she looked away from me.
"Yes, but I wasn't waiting or anything like that, or upset, or anything like that," Jilly said, repeating herself as she turned and also walked into a table.
I smiled as she made her way outside; I was reliving to see her act cute and a bit nervous, but I wouldn't tell her that. At least not when there were other people around to hear, or she would get embarrassed and upset surely.
I turned back to the other girls, and went over to them, and leaned down to give them kisses, and Mary tried to growl at me again, but this time I kissed her anyway, and she didn't do anything but stayed still.
"How did it go with Jessabell?" Nushi asked after she laughed at my exchange with Mary.
"Good, I have her with your grandmother until I can get a place for her that will keep her safe. I also met Kieta," I said, eyeing Nushi, who turned her head up to me with a smile.
"And? How was that? Are you taking care of another girl now?" Nushi asked, putting a hand to cover her mouth, but only after she gave me a knowing grin, and I shook my head.
"You are just as bad as your father, you know that, right?" I said to her, and then I heard Lidy laugh from behind me, making me turn around.
"As bad? You will learn that we are all far better at being Demons than the Master is," Lidy said, and I tipped my smile and shrugged my shoulders; I would believe it.
"Good that you are here. Did you happen to hear me talking to Jilly?" I asked, and Liddy nodded, with her tail whipping around excitedly.
"Yes, I will wait, but try to not take the rest of the morning; I am starting to get hungry for those eggs that I like so much and the promise that you made to me," Lidy said, the smile slipping off her face, replace with a more severe expression that almost made me gulp, and I nodded.
"Yeah, I will, but I can't rush my time with Jilly, and you know that! I also would like you to prepare something for the two Sphinxes that I brought back with Jessabell, if you don't mind." I said, and Lidy nodded, then motioned to the door.
"Then get going, and stop screwing around here with me. The sooner you are done, the sooner I get rid of this itch," Lidy said as she turned back to the kitchen, but I watched her hand slide under her apron in the front, going down to between her legs.
I turned and ran out of the house; my heart was pumping with a bit of excitement, but I focused on the task at hand, Jilly. I hadn't really got to spend too much time with her, and I also didn't think that I had all of the story with Lizy, the Magma Spider.
I ran back to the castle and waved at the two Sphinx lying on the other side of the Keep, opposite to where I had my castle built. God, now I was calling it my castle; damn that Mex and trying to sluff his duties off on me!
Though the idea wasn't a bad one, and then I would be able to maybe make the place a little more efficient. Plus, if Mex could do it and be moderately successful without the other two Demon Lords coming down on him, I should be fine.
I walked into the Keep, and low and behold, guess who was waiting for me. Honestly, I should expect to see him every time I think about the Demon.
"I break out in a terrible sneezing fit when it happens! So, then I come and find you to see what you were thinking about; it usually is insulting, but also quite interesting," Mex said, and he looked me over.
"Fine, read my mind!" I told him and thought of telling him to go fuck himself, and Mex frowned at me.
"You're not a demon, and why would I do that to myself? I can't read your mind, but I can still read you like an open book. You are very expressive, and you should learn to keep a firm posture; stop slouching all the time; it makes you look short, and you already don't need any help with that!" Mex said, raising an eyebrow at me.
"Yes, great Master, sure, but I have shit to do, so Vamos, and let me get going. A woman is waiting on me," I said and turned away, starting to head to the left, around the fountain, but Mex still spoke as I left.
"I admire, and envy you; when you act like a good person, everyone sees it for what it is. When I do good things, people just see me as being a useless and bad Demon Lord. Maybe they're right, but then, I really don't care, let them say what they want, and you can get this place running. I would sooner be bad at being a Demon rather than be good at one," Mex said as I walked away.
When he finished, I turned around to look at him, but Mex was gone.
