Chapter 54: Servant Cedric (20). Farewell, My Servant
The archdemon Lucidra had been in a remarkably good mood lately.
If one were to ask how good, well—good enough that she’d randomly start giggling to herself, her lips twitching as if beyond her control, even while standing or sitting in silence.
Such behavior didn’t suit the dignity of a demon who, in ages past, could bend nations with ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) a mere smile or flick of the hand. Lucidra herself was aware of this. Still, she couldn’t suppress her laughter.
“This time... I win!”
It had been several months since she awakened from her long imprisonment and entered into a contract with Crown Prince Alondre.
At first, she had expected that manipulating some pampered young heir, raised with no sense of the real world, would be an easy matter.
But Crown Prince Alondre turned out to be exceptional in many ways.
Or rather—if we’re being generous, he was “exceptional.” To put it bluntly, he was not even human.
His skills were monstrous, and his personality even stranger. The amount of torment and humiliation she’d endured thanks to him was beyond measure.
But that humiliation ended here.
From Lucidra’s point of view, that noble girl Claudia had absolutely no intention of letting Cedric—Alondre’s clone—go.
The Crown Prince himself seemed to believe everything was finished: the contract was fulfilled, so it was time to leave. But human emotions were never so cleanly severed.
