Chapter 171: A Troublesome Situation...

......

"But, Amonroth, you must stay! Pretty, pretty, please!?" Jia Lei was using all the cards in the book to get him to stay: the puckered lips, the puppy dog eyes, even the breast squeeze.

And with her already irresistible charm and appearance, it was enough to leave anyone at the whim of the divinely beautiful Duke's Daughter.

But unfortunately for her, Marquis Amonroth was no normal man, and he sure as hell was no simp.

"Listen, Miss Jia Lei, I ca-"

Jia Lei's eyes were about to tear up as she automatically assumed that she wasn't pretty enough for him.

However, before such a thought could be fully fermented inside her mind, the voice of the girl's father was transmitted inside the Marquis's mind:

'You must not decline my daughter's offer.'

'I shouldn't?' Azmodeus questioned with clear confusion in his voice.

Didn't this old dude want me to stay away from his daughter's?? What the hell is he talking about...? Alzheimer's??

Although he didn't know what was going through the mind of the shadowy-faced Duke, he wasn't going to sour his relationship with him even further. So he looked at the expectant woman in his arms and started to speak:

"Very well, Miss Jia Lei... Where would you like the signature...?" He asked after letting out an exasperated sigh.

"Really!? You'll do it!? I love you, Amonroth!!"

The voluptuous woman jumped up in glee as she grabbed onto his far taller figure and kissed his left cheek before whispering, "I want the signature right here~"

*Squish Squish!*

She pressing her already large, milky white breasts together in order to make them bigger. A seductive and slightly lusty gleam flashed past her eyes as she gazed into thw menacing crimson pupils of the man who possessed an appearance beyond description.

"..." "..." "..."

"Please, daddy??"

She was pulling out all the stops, and that was enough for the visible steam coming out of the Duke's head to subside.

"I-If that is your wish, then I will allow it..." He murmured with a croaky voice that was on the verge of exploding.

However, It was also on the verge of morphing into one of satisfaction at his previous daughter speaking to him for the first time in months.

This wasn't the first time that she had seen Marquis Amonroth, as she had caught a glimpse of him while near the battlefield separating them from the Vermilion Phoenix Providence. However, unlike now, the Duke strictly prohibited any contact with the Marquis back then, which caused a rift to form between the both of them.

I want to kill him so bad!!! But... My daughter... She's talking to me...

But I want to kill him and rip out his throat!! But my precious daughter...

The conflicted Duke was at an interpass as he didn't know what he wanted anymore.

But regardless of his feelings on the matter, he had already promised his daughter that he would allow her to receive an autograph from the Crimson Battlefield Demon. He only hoped that the Marquis would back off out of respect for his name.

However, just to be sure, he voice transmitted:

'Amonroth, do me a favor and leave right after giving my daughter a signature in a... normal way...'

The Duke made sure to emphasize that last part just to be sure that the Marquis got the point, and in response to what he said, Azmodeus gave a light nod.

But before the headnod could even finish the motion, Jia Lei held her father's large hands while pleading, "Daddy, can I have Amonroth dance with me right after he gives the signature?? The ballroom dance is about to start, and I want to have him as my first partner!"

Duke Doxing's beard hairs sprung out of place as he muttered, "The Marquis is a very busy man and must get back to managing the many cities he Lord's over, and there's still me to dance with-"

"Please, Daddy...? I would love you whole bunches if you could allow it!" Jia Lei interrupted his words with a voice that couldn't be refused.

Her father bit his lips as hard as he could before clenching his fists and responding, "O-Of course you can, my dear..." all while he cursed that sneaky bastard for coming to his party with an invitation that was meant to be for merely upkeeping face!
