The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 445: She’ll Definitely Be Devoured!

Finally, the day of Shien and Lucy’s engagement arrived.

On this day, no businesses were open, and no one was working in the royal capital. Instead, various entertainment activities and celebratory parties were held.

Led by the Kingdom Knight Order, a grand parade was held in the capital.

Festive music echoed through the streets and alleys, its source unknown.

Every household hung curtains and lit magic lamps different from usual, as if it were a grand festival, filled with laughter and joy.

Under the deliberate promotion and guidance of the royal palace, the entire capital was the first to celebrate this historical engagement banquet.

Naturally, the same was true in other cities.

Even though some people were still unwilling to celebrate Lucy’s engagement, the royal family had decreed a nationwide celebration, so even if they were unwilling, they still had to put on a show.

Therefore, the entire Kingdom was truly in a festive atmosphere.

Even adventurers wouldn’t work on this day. Except for those who accepted special commissions to contribute to the engagement banquet, the rest of the adventurers were feasting and drinking in the Adventurers’ Guild.

Their conversations were quite interesting.

“The princess is getting married, and my youth is over.”

“Don’t say that, it’s just an engagement, not the actual wedding yet.”

“Even if it’s just an engagement, it’s still enviable.”

“Yeah.”

Such discussions were common in the Adventurers’ Guild.

Meanwhile, in Larmigion, at the Adventurers’ Guild, a large group of adventurers were also sighing.

“I didn’t expect that kid, who was only level ten and looked down upon by everyone, to not only become an Earl, but also get engaged to Princess Lucy.”

“Just a few months ago, that guy was an adventurer just like us.”

“We’re all adventurers, why is there such a huge difference?”

“The gods must be blind.”

“That’s right.”

“That devil, I don’t know why he’s so lucky.”

“If I had known, I would have also accepted that guild commission to the royal capital.”

“If I had gone then, maybe I would be the one engaged to the princess.”

“Yeah, I could do it too.”

A group of adventurers complained, as if they had eaten tons of lemons.

Leon was also among them.

His teammates had changed.

Magray had been killed by Bedo, and Eudylis was also gone.

However, Leon still managed to recruit two high-level adventurers with his methods.

Both were female adventurers, both above level forty, considered high-level in Larmigion.

Unfortunately, not every high-level female adventurer was good-looking.

The two female adventurers with Leon now were just like that, one with an indescribable appearance, the other as sturdy as a man.

These two clung to Leon affectionately, ignoring the disdain and disgust of the people around them, feeding Leon in cloying voices.

“Try this, Master Leon.”

“Master Leon is also very happy, with us sisters doting on you, you’re no less fortunate than that Shien, right?”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“Come on, let others see how happy we are, Master Leon.”

The two female adventurers smiled sweetly, but their appearances and figures made Leon’s smile extremely strained.

Looking at these two teammates with their unique appearances, and recalling Lucy’s beauty he had seen in the capital, at this moment, the envy and jealousy in Leon’s heart were stronger than anyone else’s.

“I also went to the capital, why didn’t such a great opportunity come to me?”

For Leon, who had always wanted to become a noble, everything about Shien was now the object of his envy and jealousy.

They had gone to the capital together, and now, Shien was not only engaged to the most beautiful woman in the human world, the Kingdom’s treasure, but had also become a noble, not just any noble, but a viscount, and was now about to become an Earl, a true high-ranking noble. Moreover, with the support of the Divine Race and the Demon Race, his future achievements and status were unimaginable.

This was hard for Leon to accept.

It wasn’t that Leon lacked self-awareness, but just a few months ago, when they went to the capital together, their statuses were equal. Now, the gap between them had become so huge, it was truly unbearable.

Especially their experiences, which were worlds apart.

Shien became a noble in the capital, while Leon was humiliated in the capital, forced to return to the countryside and continue his miserable existence.

Shien was favored by the princess in the capital, while Leon was looked down upon by his female companion in the capital, his status plummeting.

Eudylis, who had once regarded all the beautiful women around Leon as enemies, after going to the capital and seeing more outstanding men, completely lost interest in Leon after returning to Larmigion.

The reason why Eudylis wasn’t here now wasn’t because of anything else, but because she had dumped him and gone to the capital with her family’s large merchant group.

It was said that Eudylis was preparing to inherit her family’s magic tool business, training and working at their branch in the capital.

And her goal was simple: to marry into a wealthy family, become a noble’s wife, or a concubine of a high-ranking noble, and enjoy a life of luxury in the future.

Leon wanted to cry.

He really wanted to cry.

“Master Leon“

“Master Leon“

Beside him, his two sturdy teammates continued to call him in their cloying voices.

The forced smile on Leon’s face became uglier than crying.

Leon marrying these two sisters and living as a househusband would happen later.

As for now, Leon was still fantasizing.

“One day, I will also become a man envied by everyone, just like that Shien…!”

For this, Leon swallowed all his bitterness and resentment, opening his mouth and biting into the food his two teammates brought to his lips.

The scene was truly pathetic.

At the same time, Relia wasn’t at the guild, but in a simple small residence, accompanying seven adorable little girls.

These seven little girls all had dog ears and tails, seemingly less than ten years old, each resembling Lumia somewhat, lined up before Relia.

“It seems everyone is ready.” Relia nodded with satisfaction and smiled. “In a few days, I’ll take you all to the royal capital. How about that?”

Hearing this, the little girls’ eyes lit up.

One of them immediately raised her hand.

“Sister Relia, is our older sister in the royal capital?”

The other little girls also looked at Relia timidly, their eyes shining.

“Yes.” Relia wouldn’t lie to these little girls and said affectionately, “Your older sister is in the capital, waiting for you.”

These words were met with eager questions from the little girls.

“We’re going to live in the royal capital from now on, right?”

“I heard there’s a big, big house for us to live in!”

“It’s our sister’s teammate’s house!”

“No, it’s our sister’s man’s house!”

“I heard it’s the princess’s house!”

“I’m so excited!”

The little girls chattered excitedly, lively and cheerful.

Especially the phrase “sister’s man,” which surprised Relia.

“Where did you hear that?”

Relia asked quickly.

The little girls answered without hesitation.

“The old lady next door told us!”

“We showed her the letter our sister sent us!”

“Because we couldn’t understand it!”

“The old lady said that in the letter, our sister said she’s now living in a very amazing man’s house!”

“Grandma also said that a cute girl like our sister, living in a boy’s house, will definitely be devoured!”

“So, that’s our sister’s man!”

“I just don’t know what ‘devoured’ means!”

The little girls chattered again, making Relia’s head hurt.

“Oh no, this is a huge misunderstanding…”

Relia sighed, thinking to herself.

“Forget it, let Lumia deal with it herself.”

Why did those girls suddenly say they wouldn’t return to Larmigion and wanted to settle down in the capital?

Relia herself was startled when she first received the news.

Especially considering Vivian and Diere’s special circumstances, those two shouldn’t want to stay in the capital permanently.

Who would have thought that this time, they had decided to stay there together?

“Who is this all because of?”

Relia muttered to herself, thinking of that incredible man.

“I really didn’t expect him to become the fiancé of that perfect princess, whom I can’t even bring myself to envy, in just a few months.”

But thinking about it carefully, with his status, he seemed more than worthy of Lucy.

“I just don’t know if Vivian and the others are also…”

Otherwise, why would they want to stay in the capital?

“Really…”

Relia chuckled.

Outside, the festive atmosphere continued.

The engagement banquet between Shien and Lucy was about to begin.

…

Royal Capital, Temple on the Lake’s Heart Island.

In the deepest part of the temple, in a sanctuary where no one could pry, a radiant gate suddenly appeared and opened, and a figure slowly walked out.

It was a goddess.

Her skin was like snow, her hair cascaded like a waterfall, her figure graceful, tall, and beautiful. She had long, white hair, blue eyes, and wore a white robe.

“It’s been a long time since I came to the human world.”

The beautiful goddess sighed, as if reminiscing.

But after a while, only indignation remained on her face.

“I’ll see who dares to steal my beloved blessed one.”

“Shien Buztout, was it?”

“Just you wait.”

Filled with indignation and hostility, the strongest goddess of the current era stepped out of the temple.
