Chapter 164
If he had gone to Helium without receiving divine power from Mora, would he have been able to maintain his composure? I suddenly feel like that.
Cecily walked slowly into the palace without using the teleporter, never releasing her arms. She moved her steps forward as she conversed truthfully, as if she had recently started dating her lover.
I also calmed my pounding heart with the divine power I received from Mora. Besides, he was used to Cecily’s touch, so he was able to respond.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s not exciting. Her deep ribs in her chest were constantly robbing her of my gaze, and the aura radiating from her was unbearable.
Should I call it some kind of pheromone or should I call it a s*x drive? The atmosphere was several times darker than usual, and it was sticky.
I had a strong feeling that I would fall for it and never get out of it.
‘Now the horns have turned completely red.’

Except for the tip, Cecily’s horns are filled with red. Sooner or later, it means that you will not be able to properly control your desires due to the vicious cycle.
Will she be able to exercise self-control until tonight? She was filled with the old necklace she saw at the last exhibition, but just in case. You may not be able to block this time, so be careful.
How long has it been since I walked down the street with Cecily? We were able to arrive in front of the royal castle of Helium before we knew it.
“It has already arrived. I wanted to walk a little more.”
“That’s right. I’m sorry.”
“If it’s a pity, would you like to walk a little more?”
Cecily pushes her chest tighter with her arms crossed and invites her with a soft voice. It was a moment of harshness, but she exercised self-control.
I would like to talk more with Cecily, but the night is deep and I have enough time inside the castle.
“No. Noona’s parents will be waiting for you, so let’s go inside.”
“Chi. I see.”
At first, Cecily expressed regret by clicking her tongue.
“Isn’t the night long anyway?”
“… …”
“There is no need to even talk outside.”
As she whispered softly while putting her mouth close to her ear, the corners of her mouth went up. And until he hugged my arm tightly.

Even in the dark of the night, I looked at Cecily’s red-eared cutely, and caught my eye at the palace of Hellium. Now that the darkness has become accustomed to the eyes, I was able to see a rough outline.
First of all, the Imperial Palace of the Minerva Empire was dazzling as if it had been painted with gold, so it was visible even at night, but the Palace of Helium was ordinary.
Historically, the ‘king’ in Helium was created exactly 2000 years ago. Unlike humans, it may be normal for it to be normal since it has been in its place since then.
However, it seemed to be strong enough to endure over 1,000 years. In the first place, it is closer to a royal castle that seems to have been merged with a ‘castle’ rather than a royal palace.
‘But there are no security guards?’

Even as they approached the gate, there was no security guard on duty. Or maybe it’s because it’s too dark around me to see.
Only the lanterns on the side of the road beyond the gate were illuminating, and the royal castle of Helium was generally dark and gloomy. It wouldn’t be strange if a ghost appeared right away.
“Why are you looking around like that? Is it strange that there are no guards?”
“Yeah. It’s normal to be strict, isn’t it?”
“Don’t worry. It’s hidden in the dark so you can’t see it. Actually, it’s very strict.”
“Hiding yourself in the dark? Is it like stealth?”
“It’s not hiding, it’s wearing black, so you can’t see well. If you carry a lamp for nothing, you’re just advertising that I’m here?
As I always think, the demons are a race that can be compared to the elves. There are some parts that are more special than elves, so humans are infinitely humble.
As demons are friendly to humans, if they decide to go to war and start a war, they will be defeated. I’m glad that’s not the case.

As you approach closer to the front door, the iron gate opens wide like an automatic door. I looked around to see if there was another person to open the door, but I could only see pitch black darkness.
As he tilted his head and expressed his doubts, Cecily next to him explained.
“This is a magic gate. It’s dark now, so you can’t see it very well, but there’s a device in the middle of the gate. Through it, it recognizes me and opens the door.”
“Then what about the others?”
“People who live in the royal palace or those who come and go often, show a proof. You can think of it as something like a key.”
Also, the magic is limitless. It is thanks to this magic that some inventions are out of balance with the times.
I glanced at the door that began to close slowly, then recognized that Gartz had disappeared in an instant. It seems that Cecily hid her appearance for a while.
After that, he started heading towards the main gate, using the lanterns on the road as the only light. In the meantime, I forgot to ask a question.
“Can demons hide in the dark like dark elves?”
“It’s possible, but it consumes a lot of mana, and it’s not as perfect as a dark elf. The stealth a dark elf uses is completely assimilated into its environment, making it difficult to detect even with presence detection.”
“That’s right. We both believe in Mora-sama, so I thought it would be natural.”
“There’s a reason the elves are a race chosen by the gods. Instead, they give us a comfortable night and rest, so I’m not jealous.”
“Does my sister pray every day? Once in the morning and once before bed.”
“Yeah. I remember well. Originally, before I went to bed, I prayed to thank you for giving me a good rest tonight, but I think it will be a little different this time.”
“What?”
“Ugh~”
Cecily looked at me with a strange snort when I asked a question. A red glow lingered in his eyes folded like a crescent moon.
After that, she licked her tongue bewitchingly and spoke in a voice mixed with sarcasm.
“Shall I tell you now? Or will I show you later tonight?”
“Um… Show me later. Knowing in advance is no fun.”
“Okay. It’s good to look forward to it.”
I wonder what kind of prayer it is that you have to wait for it. I looked at Cecily with a bitter smile as if I couldn’t dry it.
Cecily smiled and rested her face on my shoulder, whether she was really looking forward to the moment.
Whoops!
“Ouch!”
“Uh, oh my. Mi, I’m sorry. Are you okay?”
“Ouch… No. It’s okay. The tip is surprisingly sharp.”
Then there was a minor incident that stabbed my arm with a horn. Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes, so there were no injuries.
I comforted Cecily, who had a really sorry expression on her face, saying it was okay. As I calmed myself down, I was able to reach the main gate of the royal palace at the end of the road.
Like a demon who is well versed in art, the gates of the palace were also beautifully sculpted. At the top, a woman presumed to be Mora ascended to heaven, and the demons are praying below it.
The lamp was slightly illuminating the front door, so I was able to look around more closely.
rattle-
As I stood still and looked at the sculpture on the door, the front door began to slowly open with a rattling sound. It was the first time I was invited to a palace rather than a mansion, so I was a little nervous.
Above all else, I have to meet Cecily’s parents in a little while. Cecily had previously said she would be nice to me, but I couldn’t help but be nervous.
No matter how much I am the writer of Zeno’s biography, it doesn’t change that I have a meeting with my lover’s parents.

Finally, the main gate of the royal palace was wide open. Then the first thing that caught my eye was red. There was a red carpet all over the floor.
Behind them, there were a series of stairs and several hallways leading up to the upper floor, but there was one person waiting behind the main door.
Not a maid, but a woman wearing a neat red dress and smiling softly.
Her beautiful looks and her body, which was covered with a dress, caught my attention, but the thing that stood out the most was her face that looked exactly like Cecily.
If Cecily had bangs, the woman in front of her had her forehead exposed and was wearing silver circlets.
“Welcome. You have worked hard to come a long way.”
As I was figuring out who it was, the woman politely bowed and greeted me. If Cecily had an alluring and s*xy voice, the demon woman in front of her had her maturity mixed with it.
After that, she straightened her bent back and introduced herself in a calm tone.
“My name is Aicilia Dratbin. I am the queen of Hellium. It is an honor to serve the benefactor of the demons.”
As expected, she was the mother of Cecily and the queen of Hellium. It wasn’t hard to guess because she actually resembled Cecily enough to be mistaken for her twin. As she said before, Cecily is her only child.
“My name is Isaac Ducker Maishal of the Minerva Empire. It is an honor to meet the Queen of Hellium.”
When I finished her introduction, I politely greeted her according to the etiquette. Seeing that she called me the benefactor of the demons and there was no maid accompanying the queen, it seems she had already told her what she said.
Queen Aicilia nodded at my greeting and opened her mouth in a soft tone.
“As I heard, you are a charming person with red hair and golden eyes.”
“Thank you. The Queen is also beautiful.”
“Ho-ho. Thank you. Did you have dinner?”
“No. I haven’t eaten yet.”
“It’s all right. Let’s meet my husband first.”
Seeing that he was called ‘husband’ rather than ‘king’, it was closer to meeting him in a private relationship. Haha, even if I was officially invited, I was only here as Cecily’s lover.
Me and Cecily slowly started following Icilia as she began to lead the way. Cecily was holding her tightly even in front of her eyes, probably because she didn’t want to open her arms even when she entered the palace.
“I heard from my daughter. Halo Academy is also helping a lot?”
“I don’t think I’ve ever really helped, but…”
“Originally, good people do not remember the good deeds they have done. Only the person concerned remembers.”
When was the last time I helped Cecily? I honestly don’t remember very well. Until I revealed that I was Xenon, I had a relationship with a playful older sister and a good younger brother.
I couldn’t help but think that Cecily said something good. Even if you tell me, there is a high chance that you don’t know.
As I followed Aicilia, I scanned the inside of the palace intently. Unlike the outside, which looks rather plain and shabby, the inside shows the unique atmosphere of the demons.
The floor was unified with a red carpet, and now that the evening has come, I even feel eerie because I only rely on candles. It seemed that it was because he was so used to the darkness that he could see ahead even with a small light.
Although it may look like demons, it was enough to make me feel a little scared of humans. It is not strange at all that the still and thick silence has subsided no matter what immediately pops out.

Even the paintings installed on the walls of the hallways seem to move and linger.
“By the way, Sir Isaac. I have a question, can I ask you a question?”
“Yes? Oh, yes. You can.”
“Isaac said that he had no relationship with the demons until he met Cecily.”
“Yeah.”
“But I wondered why it was portrayed that way in the Xenon biography. As Isaac knows, the demons before the Xenon biography appeared were nothing more or less than demons.”
Icilia asked as she turned her head slightly. In fact, she’s been asked questions similar to that countless times.
I got it from my parents first, then Marie, and finally Cecily. In particular, I know that Cecily, a demon, asked a more detailed question.
The problem is that I can’t remember what I said back then. I hesitated for a bit, then answered honestly and candidly.
no. It was exactly when I was going to do it.
“Perhaps…”
“Yeah?”
“Is it like a rumor that he came from the future?”
“… …”
You’ll hear that from Cecily’s mother. Acelia quietly opened her mouth as she was contemplating what to say in her absurdity.
“Actually, it’s impossible for a person under 20 years old like Isaac-sama to have such a thought. Prejudice is terrifying.”
“right.”
“But Isaac saw us demons from a different perspective. In particular, the 5th volume of Xenon’s biography came out when Isaac was 16 years old. It means that he wrote it during puberty in terms of a goblin, or human being. Emotionally confused. Is it possible to write something like that at this time of year… I can’t help but wonder.”
In fact, until Lee Waejin exploded three times in a row, the world assumed Xenon was the most experienced sage in the world. This is because, although writing power is also writing power, it is almost impossible to write the events and accidents in Zeno’s biography without various experiences.
However, the memories of my previous life are clearly etched in my head. A soul that came from another dimension by mistake here.
He lived in the sea of information called the Internet, and indirectly experienced various civilizations. It is a natural procedure to have a more diverse view than the people here.
Of course, I can’t say this straight away. After listening to Icilia’s story, I pondered for a long time, then asked the other way around.
“Okay. Then the Queen thinks I’m from the future?”
“I have that in mind. Of course, only Isaac and the gods know the truth.”
“First of all, I can assure you that it is not.”
“Okay. So what do you think, Cecily?”
Aicilia was next to ask Cecily for her opinion. Cecily, who still had her arms crossed, lifted her face from my shoulder and looked up at me.
I also met her blood-red eyes directly. The cheeks were subtly tinged with red energy, and the dazzling eyes exuded a charm that seemed to be immersed in them.
After that, she looked at me for a while, then smiled and clasped my arm tightly in response.
“I don’t mind anything, Mom.”
“so?”
“Yes. There is no need to think complicated, right?”
After saying that, Cecily continued to speak in a sticky voice.
“Anyway, he’s someone who will become my man in a little while.”
“… …”
“I don’t want to have complicated thoughts right now.”
It’s just that I’ve been completely consumed by lust. As I looked into Cecily’s heart-warming eyes and smiled bitterly at her, Acelia muttered a little in front of her.
“Is Lilith really our daughter…”
no.
