Allyrose had initially believed she could easily brush off the matter. Yet, now, it seemed things weren’t going as planned.
Luo Jia continued to pout, appearing utterly displeased, and even completely unconvinced. The twin-tailed fox girl began to panic.
‘H-how is he still holding on? This guy…’
After a moment, Allyrose had no choice but to frantically continue her explanation:
“I truly did stay up all night guarding you! Look, look, I haven’t even changed my clothes! I’m still in my… my nun’s habit! And look at the deep exhaustion in my eyes! Ah~ I’m even yawning~! Mmm… did you see? I didn’t sleep a wink all night because I was worried about you, and now I have dark circles under my eyes! Mmm… quick, let go! How could you bear to treat your master, who guarded you all night, like this? Ugh… can your conscience truly bear it?”
Watching the twin-tailed fox girl’s aggrieved expression, Luo Jia… *cough*… had actually mostly calmed down by then.
However, the thought of Allyrose constantly mentioning ‘fiancé, fiancé,’ and her apparent lack of intention to annul the engagement, still left the Demon Lord feeling a tad displeased. While he understood that the girl might be using her fiancée status to better retaliate against the other party, still…
“Who knows if what you’re saying is true or false? I was unconscious, after all. What if you rushed off to visit your fiancé, spent the night with him, and then hastily came running back to me? Wouldn’t your clothes and dark circles be the same? What’s more… even if you truly didn’t go see him, the mere fact that you just flirted with me is… is enough to make anyone angry!”
The silver-haired youth pouted, his jealousy palpable. Allyrose’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
‘Eh?!’
‘No, how am I supposed to prove it? Ugh… this, this guy, he just doesn’t want to let me go, does he? He, he, he… he won’t be taking advantage of me today, will he?!’
‘Ah~’
‘No, that won’t do!’ A moment later, Allyrose shook her head vigorously, then adopted an angry expression and continued to retort to Luo Jia:
“Ha? L-little white-haired one, you’ve turned against your master, haven’t you! Now you’re even lecturing me! Mmm… so… so what do you want?!”
“Mmm… Ap-apologize!”
Luo Jia hesitated for a moment, feeling that he might have gone a little too far. After all, when he initially agreed to Allyrose’s patronage, he had decided to obey her no matter how outrageous her words were, just to avoid exposing himself.
‘Ah, it’s truly this wretched woman who’s too infuriating. I can’t be blamed for this.’
Moreover, having come this far, backing down now was even less of an option. A calm Allyrose would surely explode in a fit of rage and lash out at him. He absolutely couldn’t give her the chance to calm down; he had to… go all the way!
Thus, the silver-haired youth adamantly demanded a sincere apology from Allyrose.
Upon hearing this demand, the twin-tailed fox girl’s eyes widened in utter shock. *Click… click…*
‘Ah, ah, ah, no, no, this guy is going too far!’
‘If I don’t get angry now, I’m practically a saint! What does he mean? I’m the one who paid to keep you, kid, and now you’re turning against me and demanding an apology?!’
‘Wh-what kind of logic is that! Mmm… I, I am a noble Saintess! *Cough* *cough*… Even if I’m not anymore, I’m still a noble young lady with considerable family assets!’
‘How could a lowly demon like you presume to demand an apology from me! Mmm… no, impossible! This is a blatant insult to me!’
After a long moment, Allyrose subtly furrowed her brow and grumbled at Luo Jia:
“I am your master! Wh-why should I apologize to you! Mmm… you, who do you think you are! You’re just a pretty boy I’m keeping, what right do you have to demand an apology from me! What’s wrong with me mentioning my husband? Hmph, what right do you have to be jealous! He’s still my childhood sweetheart and fiancé, after all~! Just because I give you some benefits, you think you’re my boyfriend, huh? *Gulp*… I’ll mention him, I’ll mention him! I even had a great time with him last night! Go ahead and be jealous~! Let go of me, or I’ll snap my fingers!”
The twin-tailed fox girl pouted and unleashed a torrent of words without much thought. After turning her head and huffing for a long while, the girl suddenly realized…
‘Eh, something feels off?’
‘Why is the little white-haired one silent~?’
After a moment, the girl turned her head back and discovered…
The little white-haired one’s face was terrifyingly grim—!
And what was with the purple light emanating from his entire body! Mmm… why, why couldn’t she actually move!
Instantly, the girl felt an intense pressure, as if an invisible giant hand was pressing her down, rendering her limbs immobile. Forget snapping her fingers; even breathing became incredibly difficult.
‘Wh-what’s going on? Mmm… am I, am I that easily embarrassed? No… it shouldn’t be. When did I become so sensitive? *Gulp*…’
‘No, wait, something’s wrong! It doesn’t seem to be about embarrassment! What’s with this sudden purple light erupting from Luo Jia, this little white-haired one? Is it… demon magic? How is he so powerful…’
Allyrose, amidst her frantic thoughts, realized something was amiss. However, just as she was about to ponder further, suddenly…
An electronic voice rang out from thin air.

****
‘Huh?!!’
In an instant, the twin-tailed fox girl, who had just been adamant about not apologizing to Luo Jia, was utterly dumbfounded. Allyrose’s mouth twitched, and after a long moment, she blinked in confusion.
‘N-no, this, this quest, this quest…’
‘This quest is utterly ridiculous, hey—!’
‘Wh-what is this? Demanding that I apologize to Luo Jia and beg for forgiveness? Can this even be considered aiding the enemy? This enemy-aiding system places far too much importance on the emotional value of an ordinary demon, hey!’
‘No, no, no, no, this won’t do! I can’t do it, apologizing to this little guy! My noble status, my bad girl persona, all of it… it will all go terribly wrong!’
‘But…’
‘Wait, wait a minute, the penalty for failing this quest… *Gulp*…’
Allyrose couldn’t help but swallow, her small face instantly turning pale.
‘Hiss—’
‘I absolutely refuse to be a s*ave girl, no, no, no, no—!’
