Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

If it was any other casual request, Lin Xiao would have already agreed before Claire started crying, but this was different.

Helping Claire to deal with the rebels was no small task! If he got involved, he doesn’t know what other trouble he’ll run into, and with Lin Xiao’s lazy personality, how could he take this arduous and thankless task?

There were two reasons he rejected Claire.

First, this was Gotham Kingdom’s internal affairs, though it was called a rebellion, there’s no saying who’s right or wrong yet. As they say, the losers are always in the wrong, so the righteous can only be decided after fighting. Lin Xiao wasn’t a citizen of Gotham Kingdom and had no relations with the royals or the rebels, as an outsider, he had no reason to get involved.

As for the second reason, although he may be free now, he’ll get busy soon. Snow has been shutting herself inside and studying the black core and she’ll soon find a cure, at that time, they’ll all be quite busy. With the cure, they have to first save the mildly infected patients, then tread deep into the plague zone to do a large-scale cleanup and purification and will only truly complete their mission after completely clearing out the ‘plague’.

So Lin Xiao had an important mission, and that was to protect Snow! For the next while, Snow will surely become their number one assassination target! Using herself as a beacon to illuminate the people that are suffering while also provoking the third apostle. There was no way they wouldn’t bite and will think of a way to finish that brat off!

So Lin Xiao had to be ready in case something happened and wouldn’t have the time for Claire’s stuff.

“Claire, d-don’t cry, it’s embarrassing to cry over something like this… even if you beg me while crying, I won’t agree.”

Hearing the sobbing sounds behind him, Lin Xiao knew that Claire wanted to cry but was controlling her emotions. But no matter how pitiful it sounded… Lin Xiao couldn’t agree!
