Left without a choice, Daemon walked to the sofa and sat down beside Derila. "But
if I don't let you speak now, I doubt you'd have the mood to do anything else. Fine.
Speak your mind, then."
"Okay, but first, what did you want to tell me?" Derila asked as she eyed the man
uneasily.
"You speak first." Daemon picked at his chin.
"You're not going to marry Penny, are you?" Derila raised her fist and shouted lowly
in agitation, "If you dare, I'll kill you!"
"Heh!" Daemon laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Derila pounced over like a little wildcat, and warning
excitedly, "You'll be responsible for eating me, no change of heart, no abandoning me!"
"Hmm." Daemon nodded, "No change of heart, no abandonment!"
Derila: "Then you…"
"Won't marry another woman, won't touch another woman." Daemon cupped her chin
and looked at her tenderly, "From the beginning to the end, there is only you, are you
relieved now?"
"Mm." Derila smiled in satisfaction.
Daemon kissed her forehead, "Now, You say."
"Here's the thing." Derila began to tell the whole story from her point of view.
Everything, starting from the incident where she received a phone call from William.
It took about half an hour for her to finish telling the whole story, an objective description
that did not exaggerate any emotions or express personal thoughts.
After that, she went on to talk about the words that William had asked her to convey to
Daemon before he left, "I begged him to come to my rescue, and as long as he is
willing to help me out this time, I will definitely be at his beck and call in the future!"
This sentence was spoken by Derila in the first person, imitating the tone of
William.
After hearing this, Daemon's eyes narrowed slightly and his lips curved into a shallow
curve: "He really said that?"
"Not a word out of place!" Derila assured with conviction, "He said it solemnly at
that time, feeling like it was very important, so I remember it very clearly."
"Hmm." Daemon nodded, not making any comments.
"You're just a hmm?" Derila looked at him in dismay, "Don't you have anything to
say?"
"William used you and deceived you, and you don't seem to be angry?" Daemon
questioned.
"I was quite angry too when I first found out." Derila beamed and said unhappily,
"But then when I thought about his situation, I started to understand him again. I knew
he was having a hard time before, but this time it was a real experience. I can't even
imagine, a castle with over eighty people, all of them poisoned, how vicious those
people are, not only to kill William, but also to spare the people in his castle. And he
was a prince who was murdered like this, but he didn't even dare to complain, because
he knew that old thing, would never do him justice. So he can only use my hand to find
out the truth and get a chance for him to complain. Of course, it's his fault for involving
you in this, but a person who has reached that level really can't help himself."
Derila finished all this in one breath, full of sympathy and pity for William.
"You really don't have any half-hearted personal feelings for him, man or woman?"
Daemon continued to ask, "Not even a little bit?"
"I swear, there really isn't." Derila assured with conviction, "Apart from you, I have
no half-hearted affection for any man."
"Huh." Daemon smiled in satisfaction, "Finally enlightened!"
This was the first time she had ever said words of love to him, and they might not even
be considered words of love to her, but Daemon was very receptive to hearing them.
With her words, Daemon's heart was solid. He was also more able to do what he
needed to do without any distractions.
