A Demon Lord’S Obsession novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Sylphy’s Letter Part 3

-Before Hugh read the letter-

Emelia waited for her brother with her family. She watched the band of travelers ride closer to them. There were men she’s never seen before and a carriage they were guarding.

After greeting her brother she turned and saw a tall man with a hint of facial hair. The hair on his head was a tad bit messy but compared to the other individual next to him he seems the most kept. Even though many of the individuals that road in with him had good looks her eyes were focused on him. However she wasn’t only reminiscing about his appearance, one of the main things that caught her attention were his eyes. The dark lustrous orbs with an almost unnatural shade of purple. As her brother, parents, and staff departed from the steps, she waited there watching the man. She took a step down but was hesitant to go any further. He and the red-headed individual were conversing at the bottom of the steps. They originally stood straight watching over Hugh as he went to the steps. However, once he was out of sight they turned to each other talking, waiting for the others to join.

She turned and started walking away. She shook her head, covering her face. As she got to the top, she felt a chill down her spine. She looked his way once more. Their eyes met. He looked as though he’d been watching her since the beginning. His eyes looked down then back towards her.

The second glance was of her back. His eyes followed her as she scurried away.

—————

He looked her way in confusion, the nonchalant way she grasped his arm was surprising. Her face lit up when their eyes met.

Val: “We have a while before His Highness comes back, so I can tour the manor another time Princess...”

Emelia: “Are you sure? I just wanted to make sure you were comfortable here.”

She seemed sad her eyes were begging for attention. He sighed giving in to the guilt.

Val: “I guess having someone guide me around the manor is better than doing it alone.”

She was practically leaving with him and he reluctantly moved with her.

Emelia: “Yay, we can tour the garden first, it’s too pretty of a day to waste.”

Val: “Whatever you suggest my lady.”

He spoke once more bowing to Leon.

Val: “I’m sorry, Your Highness, but it seems we’ll have to continue this conversation another time.”

As he was being dragged away.

She squeezed his arm tightly with her eyes closed. She seemed as though she was snuggling up against a pillow about to have sweet dreams.

Leon: “I was going to ask how he came into contact with our son, but it seems Emelia had other plans.”

Luna: “I’ve never seen her act like that before.”
