Seeing that the white haired boy became motionless as if pondering something, the demon princess didn’t do anything.

She just stood there quietly watching the boy in front of her, trying to assess the mysterious individual.

Presently, various emotions and feelings surged inside of her. Regret, condemnation, hatred, curiosity as well as any other complex feelings repeated themselves in her mind.

If she thought of it properly, the buds of fear and endless grudges towards the boy would appear.

He was the one who killed my companions. He was the one who obstruct our plan. He was the one who suddenly embraced me tigh—

‘No! no, no!’

When she thought about that particular incident, her face couldn’t help but flushed. Back in her country, no man couldn’t even touch a single hair of her body.

She was the princess and a genius one at that.

She was cared for as if she was a very important treasure, yet a human have managed to embrace her? And so tightly? This is a humiliation! He was an enemy! An enemy that must be killed! He’s the person she hated the most!

The demon princess recovers the cold light in her eyes.

There was too much she wanted to think about and there were also a lot of things she still wanted to do.

But if she were captured right now, she would kill herself. Rather than suffered such humiliation, she’d rather die in her hands.

As the demon princess wore a resolute expression, a calm and warm voice suddenly reached her.

“So it means that you really don’t know about the [ Demon God ]?”

It was the white haired boy. His voice was far from loud; it was actually said in a rather small voice.

However for some reason, his calm voice would reach anyone without fail. Even the demon princess whose mind was caught in a whirlpool of thoughts made her senses return to reality.

“Eh? Ah yes! Of course. Father would not do that!”

“What about the other demons? Are you really sure that they wouldn’t attempt it? Are you sure that the other demons would not revive the [ Demon God ]?”

The white haired boy’s words were calm enough to be called callous. It’s as if he wasn’t asking a question instead he was informing her to not be naive and easily trust her kin.

She wanted to say ‘Of course’ but the voice wouldn’t come out no matter how she opened her mouth. Seeing her hesitation, the boy didn’t pressed any further and asked,

“Is your kingdom the only kingdom for the demon race, princess?”

“No…” She didn’t want to answer him or tell him anything because that’s akin to giving your enemies information about you.

However, as she examined the boy’s serious expression those thoughts simply vanish in thin air.

How mysterious, she thought. It’s as if she was caught in a black hole and couldn’t leave.

“From what I know, the current demon race was divided into three kingdoms. These kingdoms were ruled by the three great demon clans. This is the only thing I can tell you….. now If there’s no more questions then take me out of here now… or are you going back on your word?”

The one the demon princess couldn’t believe was herself, not the boy. Could she really trust him?

The boy paused for a second and then said,

“Well, I still have some questions I need to ask but seeing your current predicament. I’ll withhold it for now~”

The boy raised his hand. In his middle finger was a black ring. In an instant, out of thin air, a black colored robe materializes out of a sudden.

Seeing this phenomenon, the demon princess was startled.

She couldn’t believe that this boy has a [ Spatial Ring ] that even some kings can only dream of having one.

She too didn’t have it, more like she only heard of it in legends. The process of making these special rings was already disappeared after the Great War a long time ago.

There are things called [ Storage Bag ] that can store great deal amounts but these were only simple things made from the belly of an elite wyvern called [ Brown Belly Space Wyrms ].

However, this legendary item is right now in front of her. No matter how she smacked her head, that storage ring is really the [ Spatial Ring ] in legends.

Ignoring her dumbfounded expression, the boy only smirk a second as he throws the robe at her.

“Wear this. This is a robe called [ Cloak of Illusion ] it can help you hide yourself~”

Hearing his words, the demon princess regains her consciousness as she stared at the boy in disbelief. He could sense a really suspicious look directed at him from her face.

“A, are you really going to help me escaped?”

“Ha? Of course, didn’t I tell you before? And please don’t misunderstand it. That robe, I’m only lending it to you. Someday when we will meet again, I will take it back. That time, with some interest of course~”

“You…” grabbing of the robe tightly, the word ‘interest’ floats in her mind.

Is it really okay to owe a debt from this guy? But without his help, I will absolutely be captured or worse I will be killed

Abandoning her pride for the moment, she accepted his help and slowly wore the robe.

It was a simple unadorned black colored robe. It’s also not as fancy as those stylish robes sold in the capital but the term magical item made it important.

Although there are many magical items in this world but these magical items were usually simple with common functions such as weapons and armors.

Robe such as this [ Cloak of Illusion ] were very rare.

In this world, besides the magical weapons and armors, magical equipments such as; helmets, tops, leggings, weapons, shoes, shields and other usual magical items that can be bought from the market.

Magical Accessories such as; Necklace, ring, earring, belts and jade accessories were rare.

To begin with, monsters originally have 5% drop item rates aside from the meats and leathers.

Special monster such as elites and unique has 10% drop item rate. Mini-Bosses have 15% and lastly the BOSS monsters have 20% item drop rate.

Leather items such as clothes with special and unique effects such as this [ Cloak of Illusion ] were rare. You can ask for someone to make it but it needed very high level materials and the tailor or creator should also be high leveled.

Knowing that this item wasn’t just any simple robe, the demon princess didn’t hesitate.

She didn’t let out any words of gratitude but the boy already predicted it… more like he doesn’t care about it.

“S, so how are we going to escape from this place?” She suspiciously asked.

The white haired boy started walking towards her. Feeling alarmed, she step back a few steps.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already promised…. Outside of the kingdom walls would sufficed right?”

“Ha?”

Putting his hand on the demon princess shoulder’s, both of their figure flickered as they slowly vanish under the beautiful night sky.

—————

– Berona Forest –

Inside the dense forest, a small spark of light suddenly flickered. Out of nowhere, two figures suddenly appeared in thin air.

… It was the demon princess and the white haired boy.

“Kyaa!!” A feminine voice resounded throughout the forest.

Realizing something wrong, the demon princess immediately stood up as she frantically turned around. She immediately realized that she was not inside the palace anymore, instead on some dense forest.

“..How …?” She unconsciously muttered.

“We teleported. This is the Berona Forest, just outside the walls of the kingdom.” A small voice came from her right.

Turning her face that way, she saw the masked white haired boy looking at her.

“You know [ Teleportation ]?!” She asked with trembling voice.

No, she wanted to deny the possibility. Maybe he used some high level artifacts… she convinced herself.

If not she might turn crazy.

He’s already powerful and possess many magical artifacts if not how can he easily gave ( actually lend ) this [ Cloak of Illusion ]. If he also possessed this kind of god-like ability, then just how crazy is his existence?

Only few people have the skill [ Teleportation ]. Even this people can only move from one place to another by a kilometer but they just easily teleported from the palace to the outside of the kingdom.

Forget about 3 kilometers this is even longer than 5 kilometers! This god-like movement ability is unheard of!

“Yes… why? Is there a problem?” Unaware of her internal struggles, he just casually answered as if it was natural.

“….” The demon princess did not cry but she knew that the expression on her face was worse than a crying one.

If she could, she would rather smash her own head and die than believe that someone as crazy as him existed.

Heavens!

The demon princess felt that if there was really a god, he should have killed this human in front of her with a bolt of lightning immediately.

If not she’s afraid that this boy might grow more powerful than the gods themselves.

Not understanding the demon princess grieved of jealousy, the masked white haired boy turned around and prepared to leave.

“This far should already be safe. Take care and be sure not to do this kind of stunt in the future. You might die next time~” While speaking, he started walking towards the darkest place.

Right now, he couldn’t just teleport to return. [ Long Distance Teleportation ] is a skill acquired after MAXing out the [ Teleportation ] skill.

However, there’s a drawback of this skill. It can only used once a day or else it would really become a totally god-like cheat skill.

So he could only used [ Shadow Steps ] or short range [ Teleportation ] for the moment.

“Wait!” The demon princess shouted. “Your name! I still don’t know your name and why are you even using a mask? Back in the palace hall, I’m quite sure that you’re not using it… why?” She inquired.

Hearing her questions, the masked white haired boy stopped for a second and then turned around to face her.

‘Because it looks cooler that way? Maybe mysterious? Or should I say, to make it more dramatic~’ Shaking his thoughts, he calmly said “Aren’t you also covering your face with a cloth? That makes us even”

She thought for a moment and then slowly took the black cloth on her face.

“Is this good? In the first place how did you know I’m a princess?”

The white haired boy paused for a moment. He didn’t know how to answer so he only raised his hand and point his eyes.

Seeing this overly simple gesture, the gears on her mind completely froze.

Don’t tell me he also has an eye ability that can see through everything with his eyes? Heavens this is too unfair! How can someone exist like this?

“This is impossible! You also have an eye ability that can see through everything?” The demon princess almost went mad with fury. If he really did have that ability, then what’s the purpose of all the people trying to become stronger?

“Of course I can’t see everything; it’s not that convenient and omnipotent. If I can then I would really be happy right now. Seeing through dresses is the greatest dream a man have! Well, so much for my skills…”

The demon princess didn’t believe him. If his ability is not that powerful then how did he knew about her being a princess?

Without minding the glaring demon princess in front of him, he slowly took off his black mask and said while smiling wryly,

“Pleased to meet you, Princess Aster Lucifer. My name’s Hein Vilestone a mere ordinary adventurer~”

The demon princess body froze on the spot.

The shade of moonlight fell upon a childish yet handsome face, giving it a fantastical and surreal feeling.

He is not just powerful…..

His charming appearance that won’t lose even to handsome men she knew.

This brat was simply too powerful and too much of a bully!

He ought to receive divine punishment!

He ought to be struck by lightning and scorched to death!

How can someone as perfect as him existed in the world? How can he be a human?

When the demon princess finally regains her consciousness, the white haired boy; Hein Vilestone was already nowhere to be seen.
