Chapter 43

The princess was attached to the Demon Lord.

There’s no point pursuing her anymore. Kieffer shook his head as he looked at the two people trying to hide their feelings to each other. They must be thinking that the other won’t reciprocate their feelings but seeing them being together was painful than he thought.

What should I do now. I came here too late, Just recalling the day she hugged the Demon King on her own accord and in front of him was painful enough but now they’re flaunting the lovey-dovey atmosphere in front of him more. It seems like a warning that no one is allowed to go between them.

Kieffer ah…

It looks like your unrequited love cannot be recognized. It’s time to give up. No, not yet. Kieffer clenched his fist. It’s not over yet, the princess lost her memories and when the time comes she finally recalled everything…

She’ll come back to me.

Kieffer finally walked away from the garden. It’s painful seeing you happy with someone other than me. It hurts so much that you can’t even remember me. You can’t even remember the things we did, the time we spent together and everything that we’ve been through in the past. Hey, don’t you know it too…

It’s clear as day that I’m the one who captured your heart. I’m the one you love so why are you happily staying beside him now. Am I merely a thing of the past now?

The brokenhearted man finally left. He really can’t stomach seeing his beloved happy by someone else arms.

On the contrary, the demon king was delighted.

It was a first time she initiated a conversation between them. It’s the first time she smiled warmly to him. It’s the first time he felt like she love him too. All of this seems like a dream that he don’t want to open his eyes, afraid that everything will fade as soon as he woke up but reality is better than he thought.

Everything is real, her sweet smile is real, and the person is clearly beside him. If this was a dream then it wouldn’t be this vivid. Xegris was dazzled by the thought that he almost drift into the clouds.

“Hey”

A soft voice called out to him. He slowly turned his head as a warm smile welcomed his gaze. Hellion tapped her fingers on the table as she stared at the Demon king who seems to be in a dazed.

“It’s rare seeing you blankly staring into space. Are you daydreaming Your Majesty?” Hellion said as she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

This man has been out of it for a while now. He’d stare at her then smile then he’d furrowed his brows like he was in a deep thought then frown again. She really don’t know what’s going on in that head of his. Hellion clicked her tongue and leaned towards the table.

“I don’t know what happened to me but I seems to recall everything about you.” She said in a careful voice.

Xegris silently look at her for a moment and smiled bitterly. “Your memories…is it that precious to you?”

Hellion furrowed her brows and just said in an obvious tone. “Of course, it’s very important. I can’t even imagine what my past is like, it’s hard being in the dark without knowing a thing or two about myself you know..”

Hellion then scratched her cheeks and continued. “I mean I don’t even know my name. You always call me an ‘airhead’ so it’s kinda irritating to listen to.”

Xegris was silent for a while. If she’d know that I’m the one who took her memories… What will happen then?

“Your name…” Xegris stared at her face.

Hellion just looked at him innocently as the hint of anticipation gleamed on her eyes. Her name, should he tell her? But if he did she’ll get suspicious for sure. What if everything he’d done will go to waste. He don’t want everything to go wrong. Without her, he’d never know how to live anymore. She’s mine, I have her by my side but if I told her the truth, this reality would shatter and she will probably leave him without a second thought.

And Xegris don’t want that. Everything has been perfect for him now and if he let her go, he’d probably turned crazy. Xegris frowned. It’s hard to bear the thought of her leaving his side after all this time.

“What is it?”

Hellion raised her brow at him. Why is he taking too long to answer? Was her name that hard to say? She really just want to know her name, with that she could probably trace her identity bit by bit and recalled everything. Hellion sighed, if only she had a clue then this wouldn’t be too hard for her.

But, will he really say her name? Hellion glanced at Xegris with suspicion in her eyes. This jerk has the courage to lie and he’d probably brush off the thought of telling her the truth so what’s the point expecting from him? Hellion smiled sadly.

Xegris sighed. After thinking deeply for a while he finally made up his mind. She probably won’t recognized herself anyway so giving her the answer won’t be that much of a problem.

“You’re name, do you really want to know it.” He asked in a serious tone.

Hellion just raised her brow and snorted. “Why can’t you tell me? Is it too hard for you to say such a simple thing? I’ve been living by your side after all this time. You know me but I don’t even know a single thing about you and now you won’t even tell me my name?”

She then inhaled deep and said. “If you want me to keep being your child’s mother then at least tell me the truth. It’s just a name. It’s not too hard of a request don’t you think?” Hellion simply let out a thin smile as she stared at him with great anticipation in her eyes.

She’s getting sharper by the day. If he lied to her then she’d clearly resent him regardless. Speaking the truth wasn’t too hard but if everything would go down the grain because of that then he would never allow it. It took a long time getting her to stay so if she suddenly felt like leaving then he wouldn’t know what to do. Xegris inhaled deep.

For now he’ll try to earn her trust…

Xegris just sighed and met her gaze. He then opened her mouth and said in a serious tone.

“Your name, it’s Hellion.”
