Chapter 600: Advent (6)
He had awakened from sleep, but he hadn't opened his eyes.
Was it because the sleep was so deep and sweet? Or because the bed was too comfortable? Both were true. His body was exhausted to the point that even a cold, hard floor would have afforded him deep, sweet slumber.
The bed Eugene lay in now was soft, warm, and even faintly fragrant.
Without a word, he assessed his situation.
He had awakened but couldn’t open his eyes because he was afraid to do so.
Silently, he carefully retraced his memories.
How did it come to this? Why was he sleeping like this? When exactly had he fallen asleep?
Before he fell asleep, he had been drinking with Molon, Sienna, Anise, and Kristina. The alcohol, personally brewed by Gavid, was a gift after Eugene’s victory in the duel with him. He had promised to drink it atop the corpse of the Demon King of Incarceration after defeating him.
Regrettably, Eugene hadn’t seen the corpse of the Demon King of Incarceration, but since he had won the battle, he figured it was alright to drink the bottle. Moreover, he thought there might not be another chance to drink it later.
