No one knew what the future held for Kazdel, but the sun rose as usual.
Having developed the standard biological clock of a modern young adult, Ermengarde was the first to wake up.
“Ah…
what on earth did I do last night…”
Even now, recalling the events of last night made Ermengarde’s ears feel hot and soft.
What was she thinking, teasing a Sanguine Prince like that?
If Lucifer had lost control and let his animal instincts take over, wouldn’t she have been filled up like a cream puff, just like the female protagonists in certain books and videos?
Although Ermengarde felt fortunate to have survived the ordeal, she felt even more…
thrilled.
With her ears flushing slightly, she let her mind wander as she packed her bedding and pillows back into her void rift.
She really hadn’t expected that Lucifer’s place would have absolutely nothing prepared for a second resident.
If some poor soul were to become Lucifer’s servant, they would probably have to buy their own daily necessities out of pocket.
That was absolutely crazy.
“Are Lucifer and Lady Warfarin still asleep?
Well, I guess I’ll have to make breakfast, even if it’s a hassle.”
Seeing the empty hall on the first floor, Ermengarde sighed and took on the role of the household’s housewife.
Although Sanguines didn’t strictly need to consume normal human nutrition, Ermengarde was kind enough to prepare breakfast for both Lucifer and Warfarin.
However, she clearly didn’t understand their biological clocks.
It wasn’t until 11:45 AM that Lucifer and Warfarin finally began to wake up one by one.
“Do Sanguines sleep in too?”
“What kind of self-respecting Sanguine wakes up early and stays disciplined?
Besides, we don’t have jobs.
What else are we supposed to do if not sleep in?”
“…”
Faced with Lucifer’s rhetorical question, Ermengarde felt as if she had been struck by lightning, collapsing onto the sofa in disbelief.
The breakfast, which was supposed to be a simple sandwich bento Ermengarde had brought with her, ended up entering Lucifer and Warfarin’s stomachs right at noon.
“It’s about time.
Pack up and let’s head to the palace.
The meeting is about to start.”
“Ah…
I almost forgot about that.”
Ermengarde, who had been flipping through a book to pass the time, quickly swept her things back into her void rift.
It was all because the events of last night were so vivid that they had almost made her lose track of reality.
“Can’t blame you.
Go have fun.
Anyway, since the delivery is done, you should buy a lottery ticket on your way home.”
Lucifer had to question how Ermengarde had managed to travel all the way from Leithanien to Kazdel in one piece without buying a lottery ticket to test her luck.
If she won, maybe he could even mooch off some of her winnings.
“I should still go.
It’s a good opportunity to tell my teacher what’s happening in Kazdel and the Royal Court.”
Even though Ermengarde often complained about her job and Fremont, she still worked hard to fulfill her responsibilities.
This sight couldn’t help but remind Lucifer of his past self.
Perhaps this was what a corporate slave looked like.
“Ah, you’re both leaving?
I guess I’ll head home too, then.”
Seeing that Lucifer and Ermengarde were pairing up to head out again, Warfarin, already feeling bored, decided to go back.
Despite her close friendship with Lucifer, if she went to the palace alone, she would probably be stopped by the guards immediately.
The only thing she had going for her was her age.
In terms of status and rank, even Ermengarde was a level above her.
“Is there anyone waiting for you at home?”
“Oh, Lucifer, are you worrying about me?
I’m so touched…
If you want to hire me with some blood wine to watch your house, I wouldn’t mind staying.”
Warfarin tried her best to put on a flattering look, attempting to bait Lucifer.
“Be good and go back to check on your house, or else it might get lonely.”
“Tch, just say it if you’re sick of me.
You really do prefer younger girls.”
“How could I?
I care deeply about your safety.
How about this: to make sure nothing happens to you on the way back, I’ll have the Sanguinarch or one of the other princes escort you?”
“Haha, the Sanguinarch and the princes are very busy people.
No need to bother them.
I won’t get in your way.
I’m leaving now!”
