Chapter 233 232: The Party Starts [Pt2]

Ever since her birth, Huye knew she had been special. She had ended up captivating most males throughout her life with a single sentence. Even her father had not been unaware of her charm and used Huye when she had been young.

It had been her mother who had helped Huye live a free life. Her mother had been the one person who had always been Huye's pillar in her life.

But it all changed one day when her mother met the queen. From that day, her mother changed and forced Huye to use her powers for the betterment of the royal fraction.

That day, Huye lost something important and gained something important at the same time.

Huye had caught a glimpse of the queen's beautiful aura and she had ended up being obsessed with the queen as well. She had joined the resistance to meet the queen again but it had all been of no use.

It was not until now that Huye got a chance to become close to the queen. And it would happen because of the queen's new lover.

'In the end, this handsome-faced gentleman is a make as well and he will fall for my charms.'

Huye was certain about her success. Yohan was a one-time case that was rare and not everyone can be like him. Huye would prove it right here and now that she was the ultimate seductive queen by taking the queen's lover.

The queen would have to pay attention to Huye after this for sure.

"Hello there. Would you mind it terribly if I join you in your drinking session? People say that I am a good drinker."

Huye tilted her head innocently to the side. She was testing what made this man interested in her. Most guys liked the innocent type of girl they needed to protect or take advantage of. So Huye made her face look as innocent as possible.

But the handsome man did not even spare her more than a single look. He looked at Huye's face, then checked her out and just looked away from her. There was not even a single hint of interest on his face.

"Nice to meet you but I think I will be ending my drinking session now. I want to sober up by taking a walk outside and away from all these stuffy smells."

Huye tried not to let the red spread over her face. She had never been this humiliated before in her life.

'At least Yohan had pretended to be interested in me. This guy flat-out rejected me. Shit, what a shitty man. Allow me to save some face at least.'

Huye was boiling with range inside but she kept calm on the outside. She could not afford to lower her image than she already had.

"Y-You are going on a walk? What a coincidence because I was thinking of going on a walk as well. Why don't we both go together."

Huye asked with a happy expression. By now, most of the people had turned to look at her and pointed at her actions.

The handsome man looked back at her with a confused expression before scoffing at her words.

"Now that I think about it, I think I want to relieve myself. Can someone point me toward the make washroom? I need to go urgently."

This time, Huye was not able to stop herself from blushing. This was a direct insult to her, even if the man had not said anything to her. The only reason he had asked to go to a 'male-exclusive' area was to get away from her. No one doubted the real reason behind this sudden retreat.

Huye had been utterly beaten so she had to back down now. She had to save her remaining face now.

She hurriedly took her to leave, serving as an example not to approach Zadkiel today if you wanted to keep your reputation clean or sparkly. The queen's new lover was a fierce man, not willing to back down or be manipulated by anyone.

"So, about that washroom? Are you going to point me toward it or not?"

The servant who had been asked this question stiffed in shock. He had not been expecting this question to come up again.

Like most people, he had thought that Zadkiel had asked this question to get rid of his admirer, not to need the room himself.

"I-It's right this way sir. Please follow me and I will take you where you want me to."

In the end, the servant was not able to deny this request and led Zadkiel awkwardly toward the male wing of the house it was a place that was hardly used by anyone nowadays since there was no master of the house.

"Alright, you can go back if you want to. I will likely take my time here."

The servant breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he was dismissed. Zadkiel was a weird guest no one knew how to handle and they were all happy to be away from him.

But he was also a royal guest so the servants could not outright avoid him as well. It was a dilemma for everyone now.

The servant was conflicted about what he should do when Yohan walked in his direction. Yohan signaled for a servant to change places with him which the servant did happily. Now he was no longer responsible for the guest.

…………………

Zadkiel signed in relief as soon as he was alone in the bathroom. The stuffy feeling he had been feeling all this while finally ebbed from his mind and Zadkiel could breathe again.

Most people would think that he stuck the jackpot by having this world's queen pick him up. But he was nothing more than a plaything for that queen as well.

In truth, the queen of this world was gay and had no use for males. Zadkiel had been taken in because he had been unique and shiny. But the queen then lost her lover because of her lover's jealousy which made her mood foul.

As a result, Zadkiel was being juggled around once more. It was the same as his previous master, the little goddess.

He was just a shiny toy for others to play with as they wanted to.

"You look like you are not enjoying the royal treatment of this world. What happened? Did the food not suit your taste?"

Zadkiel looked up sharply as Yohan walked over to him. This was the very man he had killed once upon a time. So this person had ended up reincarnating?

But he had killed this man in another realm. Then, what was Yohan Strout doing in this world? Did he somehow cross realms? Or, did the reincarnation fail and thrust Yohan into the wrong world?

"What's wrong? Did the cat get your tongue? Are you not going to attack me?"

Yohan's mocking tone was more than what Zadkiel deserved. This man could very well try and exact his revenge on Zadkiel and he would be justified.

Now that Zadkiel felt Yohna's aura, it was much stronger than before. Rebirth had done Yohan some wonders and his demonic power had also grown by leaps and bounds.

"You can try to kill me if you want to. Even if I was just following orders, I was the one who took your life. Your revenge against me is a given."

Zadkiel was not going to beg for his life. He had done many bad things so he needed to take responsibility for them.

Yohan looked back at him with a serene expression. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking right now. His eyes were hooded and dark.

"You want me to kill you? Or harm you? I don't want to. But I don't want to do any of that. You see, I feel like we are alike in our misery. But I managed to escape before you so I want to give you a chance to escape as well."

"You are tired of life being a puppet, right? If that is the case then take my hand. I will free you from the chains that are keeping you grounded."

Yohan offered his hand to Zadkiel and the angel looked conflicted. He had never thought he would ever get this offer, much less from someone he had killed once.

Yohan Strout was supposed to kill him, but stripping Zadkiel of everything he knew seemed like a better revenge idea to him. Zadkiel was not able to make an immediate decision.

"Give me some time to think over your proposal and I will give you an answer. I will send you an invitation to come to the royal palace next week and I will give you my answer then. What do you think?"

Zadkiel's offer was intriguing and it also fulfilled his plan of infiltrating the royal palace. He had no reason to say no to such a beneficial offer.

"Yes, I guess. Then it's a promise, Zadkiel. I hope you will keep it or I will have to call our friendship off."

Zadkiel gave a small but tired laugh. This friendship, if it could even be called that, might be his only salvation in his tiring life. How amusing that the one who offered it to him was a demon.
