Chapter 421

Chapter 421

The three were ready to attack in case Demons showed up, Andromeda summoned her staff while Titania was ready to release a deafening shockwave.

However, when they confirmed that the people who appeared were not enemies, they lowered their defense.

Andromeda was shocked as she found Mikael and Princess Bell coming out of the portal.

"Mikael? What are you doing here? I thought you are going to join the mission?"

Last time, Mikael said that he was eager to attack the Underworld. That's why Andromeda was confused about why he was here. But instead of being worried, Andromeda was elated to see him. After all, she wanted to meet Mikael to give him protection.

Mikael scratched his scalp.

"Well, I'm thinking of changing my mind but this woman here is trying to convince me to join the mission, so..."

He glanced at the Elven Princess who was having a business smile. No matter how he tried, he still could not read her mind.

"Hey, why are we even here? This location is a secret."

"I asked my guards to remember this location."

"What so this location is already compromised? Guys, I think you need to change your hideout, maybe someone will attack you."

Mikael said with a sneer, trying to probe the Elven Princess. However, Princess Belle didn't change her expression.

"Don't worry, only three people know this location and they are trustworthy. I can easily discover if they will betray me."

"Why do you think so?"

"Because I know."

She confidently answered. If there were things that might shake her, that would be related to Mikael, not the others.

"Okay fine, I'm here because I trust that you will help me to kill the Demon Lord of Wrath, so, why are we here again?"

Seeing the two talking, Andromeda felt that her heart was choking. She could see that the two had a harmonious relationship despite their bickering.

'It is obvious that the Princess can tolerate Mikael's behavior.'

The guy was openly disrespecting her yet she was not affected.

"Hey! How dare you enter this place! You brute!"

Titania stood up to teach Mikael a lesson. She was still holding a grudge against him.

However, with just one glance, Titania stiffened and halted her feet. She could feel that once she reached the point where Mikael could reach her, she would lose her head.

She swallowed hard, she could not look straight into his eyes.

"Y- you--!!"

She harrumphed and turned to King Shenten, like a crying child who was asking for justice from her parent.

"You're my Kampi, right? Then you should protect me. This man, Mikael asshole Tibano, slapped me! You have to seek justice!"

As a woman, Titania was hoping that King Shenten would be man enough to protect her.

However, the King casually shook his head.

"What? I thought you are my Kampi!?"

"Titania, there's a difference between protecting you and outright killing myself. I know that you are not stupid, once I attack him, I will die."

King Shenten could feel the hidden pressure that Mikael was releasing, he understood that he would die if he tried something on him. He was not stupid.

"Besides, you said that you will never accept being my Kampi."

He calmly said.

Titania gritted her teeth. This was frustrating. But in the end, she swallowed her pride and remained quiet.

If even the King of the Beastmen would not dare to provoke Mikael, then she could not either.

'Damn it! I will die if I make him mad! Andromeda, I don't know how you fell in love with this bastard!'

She scoffed and left the room together with King Shenten. She didn't like staying in the same room with the person who slapped her face.

The three people, Mikael, Andromeda, and Belle were left in the room.

Silence enveloped the place, it was awkward. Andromeda didn't know what to say and Mikael didn't have anything to say either.

"I see, looks like you need to have a discussion. I will give you ten minutes to fix your problems."

Princess Belle smiled. She was not against this situation, especially when she needed this scene to come forth.

"And where are you going?"

Mikael raised his brow.

"I'll wait outside."

"Fine."

The room had Runes to keep people from the outside from hearing them.

After a few seconds, the anxious woman opened her mouth. She was still guilty that she couldn't revive Niña.

"I'm sorry for what happened, I can't revive her. I did my best but --"

"Andromeda."

"..."

Her eyes were downcast.

"It's not your fault, nobody is at fault... except for Elizabeth, the Demons, and me. I can't blame you for what happened to Niña, I know that you did your best, rather, all I can blame is myself. If I didn't dilly dally, and stay in the Hidden Dungeon, maybe I can save her."

"No! It's not your fault either!"

"See, what did I say?"

Andromeda bit her lip. She could not look into his eyes.

"Maybe if I further evolved my Skill, maybe..."

"There are no ifs, we both know that."

Andromeda bitterly smiled. She felt that she was partly responsible for what happened to Mikael. She failed to keep her promise.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Then..."

She tried to speak but she was afraid that Mikael would disagree with her request, but she steel her heart.

"I have a gift for you, but first can you close your eyes?"

She had a blazing gaze, she won't take no for an answer. She had to show that she won't back down.

Mikael didn't know what she was doing, but he decided to follow her instruction.

When he closed his eyes, he felt her soft lips etched on his. He remained unnerved when he opened his eyes.

He found that Andromeda was holding her expression, trying to hide her blushing face.
