“Sure,” Princess Neoma said, then she extended her arm to her. “But if you do anything bad with my blood, I’ll make you bleed to death.”

Trevor smiled at Princess Neoma’s threat. “Nothing beats a good, chilling threat in the morning from my Moon Princess.”

It was the right choice to ask for Princess Neoma’s blood after she had breakfast.

[Breakfast that she made with the damned royal chef.]

No wonder his Moon Princess looked like she was in a good mood while having tea with Dahlia.

“Your flattery won’t get you anywhere, Trevor,” Princess Neoma said. “I know you’re going to use my blood to threaten Alucard Dionisio.”

Oops.

[My Moon Princess is really sharp.]

.....

“It’s not like I don’t trust you, but don’t fuck him up,” Princess Neoma warned him. “Alucard Dionisio is still Nero’s “child.””

Trevor bowed to Princess Neoma politely. “As you command, my Moon Princess.”

“DION, I’ll be leaving the Astello Temple later,” Neoma said. “I’ll leave the Holy Knights to you.”

Unfortunately, the Holy Knights hadn’t recovered yet.

Although she had already purified the Darkness that corrupted the Holy Knights for five years, it didn’t mean that they would recover right away. The Darkness messed with the Holy Knights’ heads to make them follow Calyx Dalton’s words. Hence, it would take a while before they returned to their senses.

[Dion is fine now because he’s a fallen angel– which means he’s built different.]

“I’ll take care of the Holy Knights, Princess Neoma,” Dion Skelton said politely. “And I’ll make sure they’ll recover before we execute our plan for Calyx Dalton’s birthday banquet.”

She spent the entire morning with Dion Skelton while planning Skylus’ grand debut.

[Prince Skylus is the real saint. That damned Calyx Dalton can introduce a fake saint all he wants. But at the end of the day, I’ll make sure the crows can’t beat the original.]

In the first place, Neoma was the real First Star anyway.

“Now that we’re done talking about business, allow me to apologize to you, Dion.”

Dion looked surprised by what she said. “Your Royal Highness has nothing to apologize for.”

Neoma shook her head and spoke in a serious voice. “I asked you to be the temporary High Priest of the Astello Temple for at least two years. But because I lost to the crows five years ago, you had to suffer under the control of the crows.”

But that wasn’t the worst thing that happened to Dion.

“And because of that, you’re now estranged from Paige,” Neoma said remorsefully. “I’m sorry for letting you go through all of those horrible things alone.”

“It wasn’t your fault, Princess Neoma,” Dion said while shaking his head. “The crows were able to control me because I was lacking.” He paused for a moment. “Moreover, it’s not like it’s too late for me and Paige.” He smiled at her, and he rarely smiled so it was a big thing. “Hence, I accept Your Royal Highness’ apology.”

Oh, would you look at that?

She was happy to see that Dion was determined to make his relationship with Paige work.

[I’m sure my “daughter” feels the same.]

“Thank you for not resenting me, Dion,” Neoma said gently. “I am and will always be rooting for you and Paige.”

TREVOR smirked while watching Alucard Dionisio gulp down the vial full of Princess Neoma’s precious blood. “Is my Moon Princess’ blood that delicious? You’re supposed to be a refined nobleman despite being a blood-sucking demon. But I can’t feel or see an ounce of elegance while watching you wolf it down.”

Alucard’s face turned as red as Princess Neoma’s blood from embarrassment. “Yes, the lady’s blood is delicious.”

The fact that a mere blood-sucking demon referred to Princess Neoma as a “lady” instead of a “princess” pissed him off.

But he let it slide for now.

[Princess Neoma told me not to harm Prince Nero’s “child.”]

Trevor pulled out another vial full of Princess Neoma’s blood from the inner pocket of his jacket. “Princess Neoma told me to kick you out of here once you’re done with your meal,” he said. “I can give you this vial as your “lunch box.” Do you want it?”

“We’re both demons, so I know it won’t be free,” Alucard said, then he gulped before asking. “What do you want as payment?”

“Information,” he said bluntly. “I need you to tell me everything you need to know about necromancy.”

Unfortunately, the Bookworm didn’t have books related to necromancy.

The Devil was a Necromancer, and so was the Ancient Devil. Hence, they erased every record about necromancy. Even the human world didn’t have a wide selection of records about it. Hence, despite being the Devil’s Grimoire, Trevor didn’t have information about necromancy.

[This is why Necromancers are very rare.]

“Why are you asking me about necromancy?” Alucard asked, confused. “I’m a Vampire.”

“And blood-sucking demons are also known as the “undead” of the Underworld,” Trevor said, his patience running short because of this slow-witted bastard. Why couldn’t everyone be as sharp as his Moon Princess? “Now, hand me over the history book of the blood-sucking demons’ origin.”

“RUTO, I understand that we need to find the fourth Elemental Guardian ASAP, but I have places to be,” Neoma said as soon as she found Ruto in the kitchen. “Omo. Are you making a packed lunch?”

Ruto nodded. “Since we’ll be leaving for the Astello Temple, I thought we might as well have some packed lunch.”

“I see,” she said, nodding. “Are we going our separate ways again?”

He fell silent for a moment before he spoke again. “Lady Phoebe is still unconscious. I need to wait until she’s up before I send her back to the East Continent. Moreover, my companions who are supposed to be here encountered a problem, so their arrival was delayed.”

“Then can we leave first?” she asked. “I need to meet up with my children. And, to be fair, I can’t bring you and your companions to our secret base. I hope you understand.”

Ruto wasn’t HER Ruto at the moment.

Worse, Ruto listened to Levi well right now.

[I have to protect my people, even from Ruto.]

“It’s alright, Princess Neoma. I understand,” Ruto said, then he paused for a moment. “But can you bring Miss Dahlia with you? I can tell that she wants to go with your group instead of mine.”

“Sure,” she said. “I’ll ask Dahlia. If she said she wants to come with us, then I’ll bring her along.”

She could trust Dahlia because she knew that the Black Witch was already loyal to her.

“Thank you,” Ruto said, then he looked at her straight in the eye. “Princess Neoma, let’s meet again after we’re done with our respective duties. Is that okay with you?”

“Of course,” she said. “Ruto, you should know by now that I’m not letting you go.”

She liked how his face turned red again.

[Although Ruto can’t remember his old feelings for me, it’s not like he can’t develop new feelings for me, right?]

And that was the “loophole” that Neoma and HER Ruto decided to take advantage of.

[Hence, my Ruto “hired” me to seduce him.]

“Ahem.”

Neoma glared at Trevor who entered the kitchen while clearing his throat loudly.

But her anger melted away as soon as she saw him.

“Gosh, you’re so handsome, Trevor,” Neoma gushed. She didn’t mean to say it in front of Ruto, but she couldn’t help herself. “Why are you wearing glasses?!”

She didn’t know glasses suited Trevor until she saw him wear one.

[Oh, god. I don’t usually like men with specs. But Trevor’s face is crazy.]

“Thank you for the compliment, Princess Neoma,” Trevor said, smiling at her. “I love how you’re obsessed with my face.”

Neoma clicked her tongue, but she couldn’t refute the demon boy’s “accusation.” “My heart doesn’t have eyes, though.”

“Unfortunately,” Trevor agreed. “Anyway, can I borrow the damn chef– I mean, Lord Ruto for a moment?”

Ruto raised an eyebrow.

Even Neoma was suspicious. “Why are you suddenly acting polite to Ruto?”

And Trevor just answered her with an apologetic smile.

***

IN PRINCESS Neoma’s first life, she was revived by the Four Pillars.

But in Trevor’s understanding, it wasn’t only the Four Pillars who revived his Moon Princess. In that particular memory, Ruto was there.

[And he seemed to be the “leader” of the Four Pillars.]

He hated to admit this, but he knew that in Princess Neoma’s past life, Ruto was her anchor.

“Why did you want to talk to me in private?” Ruto asked him after Princess Neoma left the kitchen to give them privacy. “If you have something to say, say it now.”

“Then allow me to be straightforward,” Trevor said before stating his business. “Do you know anything about necromancy?”

.....

“Isn’t that the Devil’s forte?” Ruto asked back. “And you’re the Devil’s Grimoire.”

“I wouldn’t be asking you if there were records about necromancy in my library,” he said, then he crossed his arms over his chest. “If you don’t know anything about necromancy, then do you know anything about bringing someone back to life?”

“Who’s going to die?”

Damn.

[I almost forgot that this damned chef is on the same level as Princess Neoma when it comes to catching on to important stuff.]

And, well, he wasn’t being discreet with his questions.

“I’m just preparing for the unexpected,” Trevor said vaguely. “I can’t lose Princess Neoma, you know?”

Ruto just looked at him blankly.

“I’m not asking you for free,” Trevor said defensively. “If you tell me what you know, I’ll call you ‘hyung.\'”

“You’re older than me,” Ruto complained immediately. “Why would you call me ‘hyung?\'”

“Well, you’re taller than me.”

But only by a few centimeters, okay?

Trevor was busy defending his height when the realization hit him. “Wait, ‘hyung’ is a Korean word used by males to address older males. It technically means ‘older brother.’ But how did you know what it means?”

Of course, he already heard from Princess Neoma that Ruto knew a few Korean words.

His Moon Princess trusted the damned chef so much that she didn’t bother asking him about it. But he was different. He was very curious.

“What are you hiding from Princess Neoma?”

“Even if you asked me now, I can’t give you a proper answer,” Ruto said while shaking his head. “My memories are a bit hazy at the moment.”

“Tsk,” Trevor complained. “Then just answer my question.”

“Answer mine first.”

“What?”

Ruto looked at him with a serious look on his face. “What’s happening with Princess Neoma?”

“Nothing,” Trevor said firmly. “And I’ll make sure nothing will happen to my Moon Princess.”
