The bold little snake girl, Aveline, in Virulent's embrace, finally noticed Cyrus standing beside stiffened Virulent.
Her teary snake eyes shown shimmered with a tingle of disdain as she coldly uttered, "What gave you the courage to sp…ouch…"
Virulent directly slapped her head with an appalled look and was about to yell in trepidation when Cyrus's voice rang directly into her head, "Don't you dare speak!"
She instantly shut her mouth with widened eyes as she felt she was hallucinating, but when she looked at Cyrus's meaningful glance, she was even more horrified as she knew it wasn't a hallucination!
"Why did you hit me?" Aveline cried in indignation as she rubbed her head. But when she looked ashen face, Virulent, she felt something was wrong with her Mistress expression.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm But Cyrus drew her attention again when he said in an amusing tone, "Little girl, what were you saying just now?"
Aveline's anger instantly flared at Cyrus, "You dare to speak again between us?! Are you tired of living?"
Cyrus nodded with a smile, "Yes, I'm tired of living. What about it?"
Aveline was speechless by this unexpected reply and didn't think of words to retort as this was her first time encountering this kind of situation. However, she suddenly felt something was extremely wrong when she discovered Virulent hadn't even said a single word.
Because if this was any other time and someone dared to speak with her like this, Virulent would've already killed the guy with a slap for speaking out his place. Yet she was silent and pale as a ghost.
It was then she finally noticed Cyrus's unfamiliar appearance and his voice sounded somewhat familiar. It was only natural she didn't identify Cyrus because she was in one of the rooms in the underground square when Virulent head out to deal with Cyrus.
She only came out after she felt a deadly spell and was instantly horrified when she found half the city had turned into a wasteland. However, when she saw Virulent, she felt her Mistress dealt with the disaster.
But now, feeling Virulent's agitation, and her unusually appalled expressions, she suddenly had a very, very terrifying revelation, and her disdainful expression started to warp as she looked at Cyrus.
She trembled and stuffed her face into Virulent's perky bosom as her uncertain yet appalled voice rang, "M-miss…wh-who…"
However, Cyrus cut her short, "Why are you speaking with her? I can answer for myself. Let her go."
Virulent know things had finally gotten out of her hands, and Aveline had offended Cyrus, and now he was probably going to toy with her and then kill her mercilessly.
But she didn't let the little girl go and even tighter her grip as Aveline was with her since she was just an egg and following her ever since. She loved her like her little sister.
She finally collected her courage and plea, "Your majesty, please forgive…"
"I said let her go and step aside, don't make me repeat myself, or you can suffer misery with her." Cyrus coldly uttered without giving her a chance to plea for Aveline.
Now, Aveline had confirmed who Cyrus was and what kind of blunder she had made, and feeling Virulent's fear, she quickly escaped from her embrace before Virulent could react.
She quickly ran in front of Cyrus, and before Virulent could stop her, she felt a mountain-like pressure locking her into her place, but Aveline didn't feel anything.
Aveline then directly faced Cyrus with her trembling small body and determination in her big eyes, "I-I'm sorry! Please kill me and let Miss go!"
Cyrus's lips behind his mask curled up, seeing the little girl standing in front of him with the conviction to die for her Mistress.
At this moment, the mask on his face suddenly started to ingest under his skin, and his peerless face appeared in front of two girls, sending them into a daze.
"I'm Cyrus. What is your name?" Cyrus asked Aveline with a smile.
Aveline almost forgot about why she was facing Cyrus and replied absentmindedly, still captivated by Cyrus's appearance, "Aveline."
Cyrus asked, "Aveline, do you know what you've done wrong?"
Aveline finally snapped out of her dazzle and quickly lowered her head, and replied, "I…I've spoken rudely to Sir. But please don't hurt my Miss! Sir, can kill me instead to appease your anger!"
She quickly snuck a peek at Cyrus, who was clearly smiling but did not seem angry at all, and she even felt somewhat at ease now.
However, Cyrus shook his head, "No, I wasn't offended by that. Give me your hand."
'What kind of situation is this?' Virulent thought in bafflement as she couldn't take her eyes off Cyrus.
Aveline was also startled by Cyrus's sudden demand. Nonetheless, she placed her small scaly hand on his hand with clear apprehension.
The very next moment, she felt a gentle warmth pass through her hand before spreading into her entire body and then returning to Cyrus's hand.
At this moment, Cyrus's eyes were shining like he had discovered a treasure in the middle of the trash.
He then looked at gobsmacked Virulent and retracted the gravity spell on her, and said, "You can go and discuss my proposal with your clan. This little girl will stay with me, for she is far more valuable than your entire clan. You have three days to give me an answer. Now, go. I need to talk with little Aveline."
Both girls were startled by Cyrus's sudden command, especially Virulent. She didn't think the situation would turn out to be like this. She didn't know if she should feel offended by Cyrus's remark or feel envious of her own maid for drawing Cyrus's attention like this.
Aveline, on the other hand, felt as if she was in a dream. But it seemed as legit as it could get.
"Why are you still standing there? If you don't want to go, then just tell me, and I can just destroy this dimension." Cyrus coldly uttered.
"NO! I mean, please forgive me. I'll be right back! Please give me a chance!" Virulent didn't dilly-dally and quickly headed toward the dimension gate before throwing Aveline a peculiar gaze.
Now, Aveline was alone with Cyrus, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Cyrus looked at the little apprehensive girl with amusement, "Since you are a maid, you will be serving me. Lead the way!"
