Chapter 279 – Loving Couple

This incident was something her father told her as a joke to educate demon children how weak and incompetent humans were. Elena remembered it because the story was too funny, who knew that she would meet the son of that cowardly lord here.

“Y-your father? How does your father know about that? Everyone who knew about it already died, there can’t be any survivors, you… uh, no, I…” Because of his nervousness, Higgins almost confessed something by mistake, so he quickly stopped.

How did Elena’s father know about it? That’s simply because he’s the Demon King…

When several sixth-level demonic beasts left the Forest of the End, her father naturally knew about it. When he asked them later on and found out what happened, it instantly became a joke that spread among the higher-level demons.

Of course, there was no way that Higgins would have ever thought that Elena was the daughter of the previous Demon King. He also never expected her to know of what happened so thoroughly, he was flustered and couldn’t even come up with an excuse.

“So, do you still want to dance?” Although it sounded like Elena was asking, she wasn’t actually paying attention to his response and was instead focused on her perverted master.

Perhaps because he was tormented too much, Lin Xiao was already drifting off to sleep. Elena thought that he drank more while she wasn’t paying attention, so she grabbed his shoulders and forcefully pounded his back to make him expel the piss from his stomach.

“You good-for-nothing, what can you do besides sleeping? You aren’t even willing to do anything for the person you like, you might as well die!”

Elena cursed at him like no one was around, while Higgins and his companions turned around and began quietly talking among themselves.

He originally invited her full of confidence but he was made a fool of himself, not only was he rejected, a scandalous secret was revealed and something big almost happened.

“Higgins, what she just said wasn’t true, right…”

“Peh! Of course not, she’s making things up and slandering me! She has no evidence!”

After calming down and thinking about it, Higgins realized that she had no evidence even if she revealed it, he could report her for slander. She was also probably aware of that so that’s why she mentioned it just to scare him and didn’t continue.

This woman was too haughty! She dare play him for a fool? Did she see take him for someone to be played like a fool by anyone?

Higgins never saw a maid as self-important as Elena, even if she knew he was a noble, she wasn’t courteous at all, and even used that incident to mock him… a mere lowly maid really thinks of herself as that valued?

Does she think she’s the Demon King?

If he couldn’t even deal with a lowly maid, how would he be worthy of the princess?

“Leonard, this isn’t over!” Higgins squinted with a sinister look in his eyes.

“Hey, w-what are you doing?”

“It seems that I have to use force! I just don’t believe that I, a city lord’s son, can’t get a lowly maid!?”

“Higgins, don’t act recklessly! Don’t forget that kid is ShenDai Ying’s guest, even if he’s a good-for-nothing, he’s still her benefactor. We definitely can’t touch him here…”

“Hehe, Leonard, who says I was going to touch him? I only have one goal, to get his maid to dance with me! Her master may be ShenDai Ying’s benefactor, but she… is just a normal maid, right?”

“Oh? You’re saying… okay, I’ll help.” His companion couldn’t argue with that, even if he felt like it didn’t feel right and that maid wasn’t as simple as she looked, he still obediently listened to Higgins.

So they reorganized themselves and walked towards Elena again.

“Beautiful Miss Elena, I don’t understand, why is such a beauty working as a maid for this useless trash?” This time Higgins didn’t try to be a gentleman and straightforwardly asked.

“I also don’t want to be his maid.”

Elena pounded him several more times, seeing as he wasn’t reacting, she helplessly sighed and responded absentmindedly.

“Oh, if that’s the case, then why don’t you become my maid?”

“You?” Elena glanced at him and coldly responded, “You’re not even as good as him.”

“Ha!? What did you say?”

“Puh… hahaha! Higgins, this woman is too interesting, she actually… uh, cough, nothing, don’t get angry, I was just going to say that she’s too rude!”

“Elena! Whatever Lin Xiao is paying you, I’ll double… no, pay you ten times as much! You should know, I’m much richer than your poor master!”

“Ten times?” Elena wasn’t moved, “My master is going to get paid by the alliance in a couple of days, I don’t lack money.”

“Tsk, just that beggar’s salary, how can you even call that money?” Higgins snorted and slowly walked towards Elena purposely reducing the distance between them, “Elena, be my maid and I’ll guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and luxury… and if you serve me well, hehe, then I might even marry you.”

“Hey! Higgins, are you insane? You’re a noble, how can you marry a lowly maid? Your father will break your legs!” His companion heard him and act shocked cooperating with Higgins.

“Hmph, so what if she’s a maid? I want any woman I like!”

This was Higgins final technique, promising to marry them. This was a great thing for a maid that had to work hard for a meager salary, it was even better than winning the lottery!

As a maid, other than work, they may even have to satisfy their master at night, so their purity wasn’t even theirs. If they were going to be soiled sooner or later, getting together with a noble young master would be the best choice. That way, they wouldn’t have to do any dirty and tiring work and can become a noblewoman, leaving their lowly status!

Compared to that poor kid Lin Xiao, Higgins was evidently ten times, no a hundred times better as a master! He was more handsome, had more money and power, if Elena was a a person of normal intelligence, she should choose to be with Higgins.

You can’t help it, I’m a noble and you’re just a commoner. Take a good look you stinking brat, watch your maid smile in my embrace, this is happiness that you can’t give her in your entire life!

Higgins was filled with joy, he could almost see Lin Xiao’s comical appearance as he helplessly seethed with anger at his maid’s betrayal.

Gently brushing her silver hair and embracing each other then bringing her home and enjoying the ultimate bliss… what Princess Pelle, get that out of here. Thinking about how he was almost going obtain this beautiful maid, he couldn’t contain his joy and laughed out loud.

But what he never expected was, Elena silently retreating and avoiding his caress then using a disdainful tone and coldly cursed him.

“Tsk, you garbage, don’t touch me!”

“Eh? What did you just say?”

A short statement sent him falling into the depths of an abyss, his joy and passion frozen, with nothing but despair in his eyes.

Not just him, his companion also had wide eyes, with his jaw almost falling off. He couldn’t understand how she could be this arrogant, not just rejecting him, but also cursing at him?

Strange.

He clearly saw Elena scolding her master, calling him useless and hitting him as if she hated him. Now that the even more outstanding Higgins gave her a chance, she was ungrateful and even badmouthed him?

He just couldn’t understand.

Could it be that Elena’s cursing and hitting her master was not out of disliking him, but another way of expressing her love? In actuality, she was already secretly in love with him and wouldn’t marry anyone but him?

That seemed to be the only logical explanation.

Understanding that, Leonard couldn’t help but inwardly shake his head and felt sorry for Higgins.

Higgins, you fool, do you not see? They don’t have a normal master-servant relationship, they’re a loving couple! They’re a joined couple, their fighting and bickering are out of love, but now you want to come in as a third-party and interfere, and you even disrespected them, it’s no wonder she’s going to spit on you!

No matter how outstanding you are, no matter how high of a status you have, have you heard of the saying, beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

No matter how trash Lin Xiao is, even if Elena always cursed at him, compared to the other stinking men, her master was the world’s best hero.

“Sigh, Higgins forget it, let’s just go back to drink…” Saying that Leonard grabbed Higgins’s arm and wanted to drag him back to not continuously get snubbed in front of this loving couple, but Higgins suddenly exploded.

“Who the hell do you think you are? A mere maid, if I want you to dance with me, then you’re going to dance with me!”

Higgins was forced to get rough! He planned to grab Elena’s arms and pull that disobedient little bitch right into his arms.

At that time, a groggy voice interrupted him.

“Hey sissy… are you treating me like I don’t exist?”
