Primordial Soul's Rebirth

The demons in the throne room felt like they were dying.

This was too much for them.

First, Alex lets out an image of a majestic and grand tyrant, then he turns into a lazy and uncaring emperor.

After that, he turned as cold as he could, and it seemed like he wouldn't stop without killing someone.

Now, he turned flirty all of a sudden.

'Just what the hell is wrong with the new demon lord!'

Many wanted to scream out loud but didn't have the courage to do so.

No one wanted to die, after all.

Especially as they looked at the demon generals' tense bodies.

It was as if they were ready to jump on anyone who moved.

The fact that a world-shattering beauty was in the demon lord's arms was even more tormenting for the male demons, while the female demons just looked at Luna with envy and jealousy.

'Beauty belongs to the strong.'

Some wise man said those words, and the demons now realized just how true those words were.

Power brings everything a man could ask for.

But one thing was now fixed in some demons' minds.

The new demon lord was an unpredictable person.

That's what they saw him as.

Someone whose next move can't be predicted.

Seraphyra, on the other hand, kept staring dumbfoundedly at Alex and Luna, who somehow turned the situation from tense to merry with a single move.

A spark of envy did pass through her violet eyes, but it was only for a moment, as the next second Alex spoke.

"Were you saying something?"

Alex's questioned her with a raised brow.

Alex had his back toward Seraphyra, so right now, he had to tilt his head a bit and turn his body along with Luna to look at Seraphyra.

The tension in the air, however, was gone.

Even the demon generals were starting to relax.

'Why?! Just why!'

One of the demon generals wasn't that happy with how the situation was unfolding.

Nyx was so happy; he was almost jumping with joy the moment he saw the situation turning heavy.

He was so excited about seeing the situation unfold.

He was so eager to get his hands on Alex. He wanted to torture him to his heart's content.

'Why did it have to-'

His expression, however, froze as he saw two red eyes staring right at him.

But the next moment, they were gone.

'Huh?'

For some reason, Nyx's frustration ran out.

All the negative emotions he was feeling got drained, leaving only uncertainty.

He could see Alex facing Seraphyra, so why did he feel like Alex was looking at him just an instant ago?

It was only for a moment—so fast that if not for his mythical ranked power, he wouldn't have been able to see it—but he was sure that he saw it.

Nyx was left with a frown on his head, unsure if he really saw it or if it was just his imagination.

"Yes, my lord."

Seraphyra, on the other hand, took another deep breath and nodded her head at Alex's question.

The pressure in the atmosphere had toned down, and the tension was not that high, so Seraphyra decided to make the best use of it.

After all, she had to make a request, and if Alex wasn't in a good mood, then the chances of her request being rejected were much higher than being accepted.

If his mood was good, however, then maybe, just maybe, he would agree to her words.

"What are you waiting for, then?"

Alex questioned Seraphyra, his arm, however, pulled Luna closer to himself.

He had already decided to accept Luna's advances.

He wasn't going to get physical with her yet, he needed time for that.

But having these small lover moments was not that bad; these moments somehow made him feel more human than any other thing out there.

Or maybe it was the second-best thing?

He liked fighting hard battles as well, so it was a difficult decision to make.

Anyway, Alex's question broke Seraphyra out of her thoughts, and she started.

"As I was saying, I could only tell that the throne was in more deserving hands than me—someone who had every qualification to be the next demon lord—all because of the broadcast, my lord."

Seraphyra's eyes were shining with sincerity, as she really meant those words.

Every one of her words was what she really felt; none of them was a lie of deception to butter up Alex or make him believe in her.

Alex could tell that as well, and looking at an in-progress antagonist being this honest didn't get less fascinating for Alex no matter how many times he looked at it.

He wanted to see how she would be when she turned evil, yet at the same time, he didn't wish to see it happen.

It was a complicated feeling, but it was what it was.

"So, you feel thankful for the one who streamed the coronation?"

Alex questioned curiously, taking a step toward Seraphyra with Luna in his arms.

"Yes, my lord."

Seraphyra, who heard Alex's words was a bit surprised at how fast Alex was to catch on, but she still nodded her head.

His next words, however, caused her eyes to widen.

"So, you want to thank a traitor for his traitorous deed?"

Alex's smile vanished, replaced by a cold look, that turned the atmosphere heavy again.

"Ah, I-I…"

Seraphyra, who wasn't expecting the sudden change, stammered, unable to let out a word.

But before the demon generals or anyone else could realize what actually happened…

"Ouch. What???"

Alex's surprised exclamation shattered the solemn atmosphere again.

He looked at Luna with a pained expression, it was as if he would cry at any moment as he rubbed the part where Luna pitched him.

"Don't tease her; she might have a stroke at this rate."

Luna's mumble was heard, causing the ones who heard it to grow flabbergasted.

*Chuckle*

"She's cute and it's fun to tease her, though…"

Alex chuckled as his smile returned again.

His eyes were looking into Seraphyra's, who stood stunned, not getting what was happening.

Slowly, however, she understood what was happening, and she couldn't stop the heat from rushing into her cheeks.

'H-He called me cute!'

It was the first time someone complimented her looks in that way.

Many feared her, so they never actually commented on her looks other than some polite words since no one knew what the one in front of them found distasteful.

The ones who spoke freely to her when she joined the academy were all those who had some kind of evil intention, and their compliments never felt good.

But as she saw the eyes of Alex, filled with no lust or negative emotions, she felt good yet disappointed at the same time.

Her eyes inadvertently moved toward Luna, only to find her rubbing her head on Alex's chest, right at the spot she had pinched a second ago.

'Am I not beautiful…?'

Such a thought flashed in her mind, but she shook her head, not wanting to think about it.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Her eyes glanced at Rohrg, who was still frozen in time, and she sighed.

He once used to look like a good person—someone she was indebted to.

Now, however, he just looked like a fool.
