"You're finally awake." Gladior's voice resounded out in this place.

This place was at the end of the hallway, which Desire and Jarina have been walking.

It seems that they reached the end of it as there were a table and some chairs.

And when Desire looked at Gladior, he soon saw that Gladior was standing by a chair.

There was a woman who was sitting on that chair, and it is obviously Grizelle.

And Grizelle was staring straight at Desire as if he were some prey.

Her red eyes were ominously glowing, and her aura was exactly like that of a predator.

And that fact...irked Desire.

After all, who the hell is Grizelle? She doesn't have that right to look at Desire!

However, that was his feelings only on the inside, but on the outside, he didn't react much.

Desire didn't want to poke the tiger too much when he didn't have anything to defend himself.

"So, what happened to the kid? You never told me." Grizelle spoke as she whipped her head towards Jarina.

Jarina never told Grizelle what happened to Desire, and even Teresa didn't say anything.

After all, Desire could be considered one of them, and they didn't want to leak any information about him.

"It's none of your business." Jarina said as she walked towards one of the chairs.

She was about to sit down when she noticed that Desire wasn't moving or walking.

She then urged Desire with a hand as she spoke, "Sit here, Desire."

She said as she tapped one of the chairs while looking at Desire.

Desire hesitated slightly, but he did walk towards the chair and sat on it nonetheless.

Although Desire did find Grizelle beautiful and already forgave him, he still didn't forget about what happened in the mountain.

That was why he didn't want to be in the presence of Grizelle, but that was his feelings on the inside.

Desire looked like what was happening right now didn't matter to him at all.

"So, what are we doing here?" Desire asked Jarina as he looked at her.

"I'll introduce you to them. She's Grizelle, and that's Gladior."

Jarina said as she pointed at Grizelle and Gladior in order.

Desire just followed her finger with cold eyes. Although he didn't necessarily hate Grizelle, she was still a human.

That was why he didn't want to let down his guard.

"I'll introduce myself. I'm Grizelle Elevnor, a daughter of a king."

Grizelle said as she looked at Jarina.

She didn't know why she had to introduce herself or something like that, but she only did so because Jarina told her so.

Although the two women didn't exactly have the best relationship, Grizelle still had to respect Jarina's words.

That was why she did as Jarina told. However, what was really puzzling her mind was why does she have to introduce herself to a child?

Even if Desire was indeed a child that was reared by the Suckus, it doesn't make sense at all.

"A king? Does that mean you are royalty?" Desire asked as he looked at Grizelle.

However, the one to answer Desire was not Grizelle, but instead, Jarina.

"No, she's just like me—a daughter of a Conqueror. Conquerors are socially called Kings because of their strength."

When Desire heard what Jarina said, his eyes widen a little bit.

After all, he didn't expect that the Conquerors would be called Kings.

'Aren't they the same?' Desire thought.

However, he couldn't think much about it as Grizelle continued speaking.

"Well, I am no longer a daughter of one as that Conqueror died."

Desire whipped his head back when he heard Grizelle's voice.

Grizelle's tone was sort of down, but Desire didn't care about that at all.

What he cared about was something else, and he asked that directly to Grizelle.

"Why are you with Jarina? You're a human."

"I don't think that Lionel, or even Teresa would let a human come near Jarina."

"So, why are you with her? No..."

"Why are you even with the Suckus?"

Desire asked with his sharp eyes. His demeanor as he asked Grizelle was just dominating.

Although he didn't want to poke Grizelle too much, this was something Desire had to know.

After all, he worries for Jarina and the Suckus as well.

It's not like those months that he spent in Skinjur were fake.

It was real, and Desire appreciated them for it.

And that was why if Grizelle had malicious thoughts, Desire wouldn't let her go just like that.

Well, it's not like Desire could do something about it if ever that was true.

However, unexpectedly, the one who answered Desire's question was once more, Jarina.

"I...papa will explain that to you, Desire." Jarina said as she turned her head towards Desire.

Her face, as she looked at Desire, expressed her worries. After all, no matter how good Desire's talents were, he was a weakling.

Jarina...didn't want Desire to get somehow caught up in her business.

That was why she thought that it would be best if her father, Desire's master, would tell it to him.

"Hmm. Alright." Desire said as he looked at Jarina's face.

Of course, Desire was able to pick those signs up just from Jarina's face.

Although he hasn't checked it yet, the Heavenly Demon Trait is working now.

That was why he was able to catch those signs up as if it were normal.

"Alright, that's all we would do here. We'll go back to Jakart now." Jarina said as she smiled.

She then stood up as she urged Desire while doing so.

After all, it was really the time to go back to Jakart, where her father was staying.

However, when Desire was about to stand up, Grizelle's voice resounded out in this place.

Her tone was...furious. Her face clearly showed that she was angry.

"Y-you made me introduce myself just for that?"

After all, Grizelle wouldn't have introduced herself to a child if their talk was just going to end like this.

And without Grizelle noticing it, Jarina was carrying Desire once more.

However, that was the least of Grizelle's problems as she heard Jarina speak.

"Yeah. Desire's more important than you anyways."

Right after saying that, Jarina disappeared! No, she just went out so fast as she made her way back to Jakart.

And Grizelle was just standing there with...veins bulging on her face.

Her eyes were opened so wide as she was extremely pissed right now.

"T-that woman!!" Grizelle snapped as she screamed!

She then disappeared as she chased right after Jarina!

The way the two ladies acted was something unexpected, but surprisingly, the two people in here expected it.

"Let's follow them-" Gladior said as he turned his head towards Teresa.

However, Teresa was already gone as she started running towards the two women.

"Haaa. First, I get threatened and then I get treated like this..." Gladior said as he shook his head.

He then raised his hand into the air as he turned into a fist!

And then he spoke with all his heart. His face was showing his spirit!

"Please catch her, and get some justice for me, milady!"

Gladior said, but of course, Grizelle didn't care about him.

And Gladior knew that as he also started running towards Jakart.
