Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 283: Blossoming Rose

Chapter 283: Blossoming Rose

In a corner of the banquet hall.

Higgins, dont be sad, isnt this common? Although females may have heads, but it can be empty! Especially that maid havent you heard that those with big chests have no brain?

Uh I have.

Exactly! His companion patted his shoulder and consoled him, Look at how big her breasts are. Ive never seen anyone with a that exaggerated size, think about it, all her bodys energy is probably stored in her breasts, her head is naturally empty. So shes an idiot, how can she know how outstanding you are?

W-what do you mean?

Sigh, shes but a maid and was definitely already brainwashed by her master. She also lacks knowledge and independent thinking skills, so thats why she thinks that her master is the best man in the world, and thats why she rejected you.

Oh, I see

Higgins pursed his lips and ruminated over those words. It felt like it made sense and he was able to calm down a lot more.

But that damn bastard is too arrogant! I have to find a way to show him what Im capable of, otherwise, I wouldnt be able to take it.

Sigh, Higgins, I recommend you to calm down, hes hugging onto ShenDai Ying, itll be difficult to touch him even if you want to.

Leonard, not necessarily like you said, she only invited him today out of courtesy, I dont think she actually cares about him. Hes nothing but a mob character, dont be bluffed!

Higgins thought about the possibilities and made a judgment.

Thinking about it, Lin Xiao had no strong points, ShenDai Ying wasnt after his appearance, not his money, and not his status, so the only reason is because shes thanking him and that will end, so at that time, theres no place for Lin Xiao to be arrogant anymore!

Right, shell probably not bother with him after a while, at that time, you can find someone to wait, hey Higgins, look over there!? His companion suddenly widened his eyes, almost dropping the cup he was holding as his voice trembled.

Leonard, what are you panicking for? Look at yourself, its not like the sun is rising from the West?

I-it pretty much is my god, am I dreaming?

Whats so shocking, let me see my god!

Higgins looked towards where his companion was looking and was instantly stuck by lightning and almost fell out of his chair.

What the hell?

Higgins accidentally swore and felt his throat get parched. His heart beat like crazy and couldnt accept this sudden truth.

Something must be wrong, its too strange!

Why could that poor Lin Xiao hold Princess ShenDai Yings arms and walk onto the dance floor together?

What are they going to do?

Dance?

You have to be kidding me!

Higgins, w-what you just said about ShenDai Ying not caring about him, might not be so accurate His companion stammered, his jaw dropping to the ground.

Not just those two, when ShenDai Ying intimately pulled Lin Xiaos hand and brought him to the center of the dance floor, the entire hall became silent. Everyones expression stiffened as they stopped and stared at that young couple, at that moment, it was like the melodious music was being played for just the two of them, and the state was being lit for them.

Princess ShenDai Ying actually invited a no name poor boy to dance, if people saw him as someone cunning who clung to the powerful and rich, and looked down on his status, now, no one dared to underestimate him.

A youth able to share a dance with Princess ShenDai Ying, just with that, people held respect for him.

This was Princess ShenDai Yings first official banquet since coming from the Great Qin Empire! It was also the official engagement banquet, and at such an important occasion, she hasnt even danced with her own fianc, or any other high-ranking officials or nobles, yet she chose this plain-looking youth.

Who was he?

What ability did he have?

Why did she regard him so highly?

More importantly, what kind of relationship did he have with ShenDai Ying?

After the initial shock, the crowd began quietly discussing and guessing at Lin Xiaos identity.

Someone mentioned that ShenDai Ying personally said that Lin Xiao is her benefactor

Benefactor? Peh, dont take people for fools, that kind of foolish excuse is clearly just a lie to stop people from talking, whoever believes it is an idiot.

Look at her happy eyes and that smile, was the answer not clear enough?

Her movements were completely natural without any stiffness and rejection, she willingly grasped his hands and enjoyed that intimacy. She even leaned close to his body from time to time, whispering sweet nothings into his ears.

Was this someone who was just a benefactor?

Stop fooling around, this was clearly an intimacy between lovers!

I-I know Higgins, I know! His companion nervously swallowed and looked around before carefully speaking to Higgins, That guy is ShenDai Yings lover!

What? Lover!? That cant be, right

Higgins retorted, but when he carefully looked at their loving gazes, he already believed it.

If it was really like that then he definitely wouldnt dare to even touch a hair on Lin Xiaos body!

Among royalty and nobility, especially young beautiful girls, are often subject to a fate of political marriages. Bards often sing of unfortunate princesses that choose to fight against their fate, breaking their engagement and finding their own love, but it wasnt like that in reality.

In reality, most of them wouldnt go against their fate, they choose a much easier path, to keep and support a lover on the side.

As a princess, they would naturally be chased by plenty of men, and they would often choose one or two handsome ones to take as their lover.

But dont underestimate them, although it doesnt look like they have much power, and they can never get a status, but behind the scenes, theyre cherished by the noblewoman and have far greater political influence compared to even some dukes and generals.

So is Lin Xiao that lover that ShenDai Ying is using to escape from her marriage?

Higgins, I think its best we dont provoke him, I dont think anything good will come out of it.

Y-youre right, Leonard Higgins held his chest and sighed, then quietly spoke to his companion, Dont say a word about what happened today, I was never rejected by his maid, and he never threatened me understand?

Yeah, I get it

His company weakly nodded and exchanged a look with Higgins. The two fell silent and dazed out next to the table, and didnt even want to appreciate the dance anymore.

However, the dance remained as the focus.

Come Lin Xiao, grab my waist, pull me close, the dance is going to start~!

ShenDai Ying smiled, one hand holding his, the other on top of his shoulder.

But Sister Ying, I

Dont worry about anyone else, its just a dance, it wont bring you any trouble, rather, I bet they wouldnt dare try to trouble you anymore, humph~!

It seems she was implying something as she pinched Lin Xiaos neck, her gentle smile was undoubtedly the best comfort.

Sister Ying, Im not worried about myself, its you Im worried about. Pulling me out like this, wouldnt

Dont worry, I know where to stop. I never responded to your feelings all this time, Im a bad woman dancing with you, letting you become my first dance partner, counts as a compensation, right, although its not worth mentioning are you willing to accept?

O-of course!

Since it was laid out like that, Lin Xiao had no reason to refuse, accepting was the most considerate choice.

But

He turned back to take a look for a certain someone behind him, but he couldnt find what he was looking for and could only shake his head inwardly. He focused on the person in front of him, and tried to follow the music and dance under the spotlight.

Lin Xiao rarely even went out, let alone having a chance to dance at a banquet. Thats why his steps were still, he could only imitate some of the movements from memory.

It was a good thing ShenDai Ying was there.

Lin Xiao didnt have to think much as she held him, he just had to move his body along with hers. ShenDai Ying was like a bright rose, Lin Xiao was willing to be a clumsy green leaf next to her, looking up to her beautiful blossoming posture.

Hey Lin Xiao, I want to ask you something.

Her clothes fluttering as she leaned against Lin Xiaos chest, slowly dancing while muttering touching romantic words.

Un, Im listening.

Lin Xiao, I want to know, if I killed Caesar tonight, would you be willing to leave Elena and marry me?

She looked up with flushed cheeks, her affectionate eyes squinted into an arc.
