Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 278: I Also Heard it From my Father

Lin Xiao, what can you do even if you get drunk?

If you keep pouring piss into your mouth, Im going to feed you dog shit for lunch tomorrow!

Theres clearly a way, yet you keep putting it off, what are you waiting for?

A second way? What a joke! Half a year will pass in a blink of an eye, you wont find a second way even if you wrack your brains.

Pervert, are you listening to me?

Higgins sneaked a look and understood what was happening.

That poor boy called Lin Xiao that was sitting across of him wanted to drink. He was seemingly in a bad mood and was going to chug an entire cup of strong champagne, opposite to him, his maid forcibly snatched his cup while impudently reprimanding him.

Listening to this, people who didnt know would think she was the master and that kid was the servant this was the first time Higgins met a maid that dared to be so fierce towards their master and was momentarily shocked.

Beautiful

Watching her fiercely scold him, Higgins couldnt help but be captivated.

Not only did she look good with her silver hair and red eyes, she also had a great figure! She was incomparable to a normal girl!

How was this a maid? She was clearly a goddess!

Higgins could only hate himself that he wasnt her master, if he was the one who was being scolded instead of that bastard, how nice would that be

Hey, Higgins, w-what are you staring at? His companion waved his hand in front of his eyes.

You like her? Then go invite her, werent you bothered that you didnt have a dance partner? Shes just a maid, what, are you afraid shes going to reject you? His companion saw through him and began instigating him, That useless master wouldnt dare talk back, hes just a commoner. Hes probably using the fact that he helped her as an excuse to bother ShenDai Ying and she had no choice but to reluctantly invite him to the banquet, he cant compare to you at all!

Right hehe. Higgins cleared his throat, summoned his courage, and prepared to act under the encouragement of his companion.

He tidied up his stylish clothes, fixed his bangs and stood up. He slowly approached Elena, who looked like she was about to murder someone, and gently called out to her.

Miss beautiful maid, hello.

Lin Xiao, can you just do something? Dont think Im going to keep watching over you, Im not going to be your maid forever!

Elena was still angrily scolding Lin Xiao, it was always her that was being bullied and lectured by him, so now that the roles were reversed, she wouldnt miss the opportunity and enjoyed towering above him and pointing out his waste of a life.

Uh this charming maid, I

You damn pervert, I eh?

Elena still wasnt satisfied and wanted to continue cursing at him, but she heard someone speaking next to her and when she took a look it was a frivolous young master.

Were you talking to me? Elena turned her head and coldly asked.

Y-yes I was.

When he was suddenly glared at, Higgins felt a sudden chill and couldnt help but take a step back. If it wasnt for his companion supporting him, he even would have wanted to escape.

This woman was so beautiful, yet why was she so frightening when she gets angry? Like an angry lioness, the aura she was letting out didnt even feel human, more like a terrifying demonic beast from the forest.

Oh, what do you want?

Since they were at a table full of nobles, Elena understood that she had to retract her arrogant tone and pleasantly deal with them.

Of course, her pleasant appearance was no different than a poker face to anyone else. If it wasnt because Higgins found her too beautiful, he would have already left.

May I please get this beautiful ladys name? Higgins forced himself to maintain his smile and asked like a gentleman.

This was a way he often used to hit up girls, when they see his handsome appearance and smile, he would lead them by the nose, but not today.

Im masters maid.

Elena paused, thought for a bit and responded like that.

Puh cough. Higgins almost choked and glared at his giggling companions behind him and then continued asking, No, miss maid, I was asking for your name, not your identity. A beautiful girl like you must have a beautiful name, right?

Compliments hiding his intent and perfectly used flattery Higgins didnt believe she wouldnt take it.

Seeing that he had no malicious intent and his perverted master finally settled down, Elena was finally relieved.

Im called Elena.

Oh, Elena your name is just as beautiful as you are!

Thank you.

Uh Although her attitude eased up, she was still cold and hard to approach. Higgins was set back again, but it stimulated his competitive desires as he bravely extended his hand, Then, Miss Elena, would you like to have a dance with me?

No. Elena gave a clean answer.

Un, okay, then please take my hand, we wait, w-what did you just say? Higgins opened his eyes in disbelief and couldnt believe what he just heard. The hand he extended was frozen in midair and he didnt know what to do with it.

This foolish woman actually rejected him without even thinking about it? Was she joking?

Hey, do you know who he is? Hes Higgins, the son of the lord of Soma City! His companions thought that she was poorly informed and didnt recognize Higgins, and quickly came to support him.

Soma City was a large city to the south of Winterless City, and as the eldest son of the citys lord, he was naturally pampered. Because of his status there were countless women that wanted to curry favor with him and he enjoyed his lifestyle of changing women like changing clothes, and it wasnt the first time he was fooling around with other peoples women.

But this time, he suffered.

Soma City? Oh, I think I remember.

Hmph, since you know, then stop being unappreciative! A mere maid, you should be thankful that Master Higgins would invite you for a dance, and you dare refuse?

Leonard, please dont say that, youll scare this beautiful lady.

He once again raised his hand and invited her to dance.

Elena, dont overthink it, I just want to dance with you. Even if you dont know how to dance, Ill slowly teach you, so dont worry and come.

Higgins words could be said to be extremely practiced, stopping the others excuses while expressing his goodwill, so that the other party had no reason to refuse.

But Elena wasnt a normal women, those words were useless towards her.

No.

A single word that came softly out of Elenas mouth changed the complexion of everyone there as the atmosphere froze.

Hey! You foolish woman, your master is just a commoner, but Higgins is a

The son of Soma Citys lord, right? If I remember correctly, twenty years ago, Soma City was attacked by demonic beasts. Civilians were killed and injured while nobles and soldiers barely were, do you remember that incident?

Uh I think I have, what about it? The companions didnt understand why Elena was bringing up ancient history and glanced at Higgins, and noticed he had a terrible complexion.

Master Higgins, is it? You werent born then, but you should know what happened, right?

I, I I dont know Higgins stammered.

I think I know! The demon army that attacked Soma City was too powerful, so the lord retreated to preserve strength. Then he attacked a week later to reclaim the city. One of his companions rushed to answer first.

Hehe, so thats how you humans are telling it Elena gently chuckled while muttering to herself, If I remember correctly, the so-called demon army was nothing but a few lost sixth-level demonic beasts. The lord was a coward and mistook it for an attack and immediately ran from the city abandoning the people which caused that tragedy Higgins, your father should have told you, right?

I, I

What? Higgins, that happened!? Why didnt I know?

Without waiting for Higgins to respond, his companions lost their cool, ignoring his deathly pale complexion and asked him nonstop.

Hearing that, Higgins got a headache.

When his father was young and initially appointed as the lord, he was scared of the sudden demonic beast attack, although he did his best to make up for his mistake and covered up the truth, that incident caused him a lifetime of shame.

Even for Higgins, that incident was a secret he found out when his father was drunk, so how did this maid know about it?

This woman, who was she?

Elena h-how did you know? Could it be youre from Soma City!?

If the truth got out, his household would be ruined! His fathers position wouldnt be safe anymore either!

No, Im not. Like you, I also heard it from my father.

Hah? Your father?

Higgins almost choked on his saliva.
