Chapter 90. Know Your Place!

92 Chapter 90. Know Your Place!

After parting with Ruby, we stopped by the bookstore to buy my and Celia's textbooks, as well as some fairy tale books for Foxy, but of course, I bought them in secret. Then we continued our shopping to the local supermarket.

Half an hour had passed, I pushed our trolley while Celia walked in front of me.

"Why are you helping her in secret like that? You should punch him in the face like you did to Bern," said Celia. Her eyes were fixed on the rows of cereal boxes on the shelf.

"I don't want to do something tacky like that in public," I said.

She stopped and turned, her hands on the trolley, stopping me.

"It's not tacky. You should be proud of that," she scowled.

If I was a human, yes. Since I was a demon, no. That's why I tried to keep myself in a low profile because I didn't want to attract a lot of attention. It could expose my identity.

"I know but I don't want to attract too much attention. It's embarrassing," I reasoned.

She exhaled in annoyance and took two cereal boxes with different tastes from the shelf by her side.

"Which one do you prefer?" she asked, showing me these cereal boxes.

"Anything is fine with me," I shrugged.

She shifted her gaze at the two cereal boxes in her hand once again.

"Let's try this one." She placed a chocolate cereal box in the trolley and returned the other to the shelf.

"Ethan! Celia!" A woman's voice called us.

We turned around where the voice was coming from and saw a Lamia approaching us with a happy face. A shopping basket in her hand.

"Good morning, Mi- Ms Mia," I said.

"It's rare to see both of you shopping together like this." Mia gave us a teasing smirk.

"Does this mean you have made up?" Her eyes looked at Celia and me alternately.

"We've never fought before," Celia denied.

Mia folded her arms across her chest and stared at us in disbelief, her smirk still on her lips.

"Ho ~ Really? But why do I feel your mood is different than last time?" she teased again.

"That's ..." Celia pressed her lips as her face began to turn red. When Mia saw us last week, Celia was in a bad mood. She even slammed the front door in front of me. That's why everyone who saw us was guessing that we just had a big fight.

"We weren't fighting. Celia --- Mppphh." I was about to explain that Celia was just feeling lonely after she lost father but she covered my mouth with her hand.

"Ms Mia, have you had any skin treatments recently? Your face looks brighter and you look more energetic than usual," said Celia with an awkward grin.

"Really?" Mia started to touch her face.

I removed Celia's hand from my mouth and glanced at her.

"Liar," I hissed in a low voice. I knew she just wanted to divert our conversation.

Celia glared at me.

"Are you don't have any manners?" she snapped.

I glanced at Mia and realized her eyes were so different, her eyes were full of honour and dignity. It was the angry gaze of a crown princess.

But despite Mia's anger, they laughed at her and walked in a mocking way.

"Then what do you want to do, monster?" sneered Franz.

His words made my anger peak.

'How dare he call Mia a monster! '

Glancing down, I noticed a cable that had been covered by a cable cover two meters in front of us. I pulled my trolley and moved it slowly in front of me to cover my other hand. My eyes were fixed on them. Once they stepped on that cable cover, I was going to use my Hell Thunder and make them look like they were electrocuted from there.

But before they got there, Mia slithered forward a bit as she raised her body highly, making her head higher than the shelf next to us. Her eyes were staring at them intently in disdain.

"Know your place, you lowly peasant!" she said in a cold voice.

Bern and Franz stopped their steps, their bodies stiffened and I could vaguely see their lips trembling. Meanwhile, Celia and I looked at Mia in shock. We had never seen Mia that scary before.

'Is that her Medusa Eyes? '

I knew Bern and Franz had a higher level than her but they didn't even dare to approach her one bit.

"Now, go! Don't ever show your faces in front of me again!" she ordered in anger.

They gasped and began to move their bodies slowly, their gaze shifted to me.

"Hiding behind a woman. What a coward!" But despite their mockery, their fear was clear in their faces and voices.

"Go!" snapped Mia again.

"Tch!" They clicked their tongues in annoyance before turning tail and leaving.

Mia breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her body as she slithered backwards. We were still staring at her in shock.

"Don't look at me like that," she said awkwardly.

"That's so cool ..." said Celia in amazement.

Whereas I could only silent, I admitted it was really cool, because she could make them retreat with just her gaze. But I also knew Mia shouldn't use that skill.

"Ms Mia," I called out her name.

She turned to me.

"Yes?"

"Is that all right?" I asked. I couldn't ask it directly because the one who knew her true identity was Damian, not me.

"What do you mean? Of course, it's all right. But don't tell anyone about this, okay?" Mia said.

"Why? You look so cool," said Celia.

Mia let out a breath and looked at Celia with a pleading look.

"Do you want to let me single forever? All men will run from me if they find out about this."

"We'll definitely keep your secret," I said while Celia nodded her head.
