Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 615 - 616

"A birthday party?"

"Yes, for little Miss Yuan’er. Since it’s her first time, Madam Yumo wants to make it a grand celebration."

"I see…"

Xiao thoughtfully raised his eyebrows.

It made sense. Yumo had always been in the habit of throwing birthday parties for her children, and Xiao had experienced it several times in the past. However, these celebrations had ceased as he grew older and left the Cold Winter Forest, missing the feeling of being the center of attention.

Yuan’er was Yumo’s dearly loved younger daughter, and given her young age and it being her first birthday as a demon king, it was only natural for Yumo to want a lively celebration.

Although it was uncertain whether the party could be held next month, Xiao took a deep breath and spoke seriously to his secretary Wanya:

"I understand. Tell Sebastian to reply that we will definitely attend. It would be rude not to participate in Miss Yuan’er’s first birthday celebration with our family. Also, prepare some gifts that children like. Don’t worry about the budget. Despite the recent financial losses due to Limo, it’s not so severe that we can’t afford this."

"As you wish."

"Good."

Xiao nodded slightly.

However, as he nodded, a strange sensation unexpectedly emanated from his buttocks, causing him to shudder.

Rubbing his mysteriously aching backside, Xiao frowned in confusion.

"Strange, why... do I have a bad feeling about this?"

Meanwhile, outside the garden,

A blue-haired girl in a black stocking and exquisite short-skirt maid outfit with twin ponytails was sweeping the yard while occasionally sneaking glances into the garden, trying to figure out what was happening inside.

This adorable new maid, inheriting the title of the Chosen One(Male Lead) and carrying the mission to save the world, was Asar. Having successfully hardened ’his’ identity, Asar was working as an apprentice maid under the guidance of Duke’s secretary Wanya. She was learning the ways of a maid while also training with the Black Rose Knights, striving to improve her skills.

Because of her cute appearance and exceptional talent, Asar had received considerable nurturing and attentive care from Wanya.

Undoubtedly,

Asar’s recent days were filled with a contented and "fulfilling" routine, a stark contrast to the miserable and nomadic life she led after her resurrection.

This contentment was the reason why Asar, driven by curiosity, sacrificed her precious rest time to secretly observe the happenings in the garden. That morning, after learning from Miss Wanya that emissaries from the Dragon Race and the Elf Elders were visiting, Asar eagerly made her way to the periphery of the garden.

Curious about the Dragon and Elf races, she had hoped to catch a glimpse of these legendary beings. What would the beautiful and elegant Elves and the mighty Dragons look like?

Unfortunately,

Due to her lack of qualifications, Asar couldn’t enter the garden to witness the magnificence of these legendary races, so she had to content herself with sneaking peeks from the outside.

Meanwhile,

Her admiration for the Black Rose family grew uncontrollably, like a surging river. The Elves and Dragons were among the most proud and mysterious races on the continent. Even royals and nobles often found it difficult to meet them. But today, these elusive beings were lining up to visit the Black Rose family?! And they weren’t just any members – their refined attire and imposing presence indicated their high status within their races.

Even more surprisingly,

’They brought gifts?!’

’Goodness,’

’It seemed Miss Wanya hadn’t deceived me. The Black Rose family indeed had an extraordinary ’friendship’ with the Elves and Dragons. To establish a friendship with such ancient, powerful, and dignified races!’

’Wow, our Black Rose family is really amazing~’

As far as Asar knew, no other power in this world had such a close relationship with these two races!

’Hehe~’

With these thoughts, Asar, who had gradually come to see herself as a maid of the Black Rose family over the past month, even sported a smug smile.

However,

While feeling smug, Asar also furrowed her brows in confusion.

’Those red-robed people this morning, they must have been Cardinal from the Church, right? Did representatives of the Church also come to visit?’

Asar pondered, slightly puzzled. ’Miss Wanya had mentioned that the Black Rose family rarely interacted with the Church. So, why the sudden visit now? Could it be some significant matter requiring the Duke’s consultation? Perhaps something related to a united front against the abyssal demons?’

These thoughts led Asar to speculate, especially considering yesterday’s events in the capital of Anvika, which had become well-known across the continent. The Red Leaf Imperial Capital’s Shura Division and the College of Luminous Royal Academy, attacked by Sword Demon, suffered devastating damage; an unknown demon dragon wreaked havoc in the eastern mountains...

And more alarmingly, Higanbana, the legendary most powerful demon king, appeared in Anvika. Even the seemingly impenetrable headquarters of the Church crumbled under her overwhelming power, with countless followers perishing under the brutal Shadow power.

Although the demon kings and the demon dragon were eventually repelled, the human forces paid a heavy price.

With these thoughts, Asar sighed and resignedly patted her chest, thankful:

"Ah, thank goodness..."

As the Chosen One, ’she’ should be concerned about humanity’s future, but her heart was filled with relief. To her, just like the previous abyssal demon attack on the Sky Dome, the recent assault on Anvika had one clear objective: to eliminate the Girl of Destiny.

Indeed,

’The Chosen One seemed to be a magnet for such threats. Abyssal demons wouldn’t overlook those with the Goddess’s power.’

Asar couldn’t help but feel lucky, thinking about how the Girl of Destiny remarkably repelled the demon dragon. If it had been him, he might have been utterly annihilated.

"Thank goodness I haven’t revealed my identity," Asar thought to herself, reaffirming her grand plan to continue disguising herself as a female maid.

At the same time,

Asar, the Son of Destiny, couldn’t help but admire the wise decision he had made.

Joining the Black Rose family was indeed a prescient choice.

Not only did he escape the abyssal demons, but also gained the protection of a powerful force. Now, he could live a life free from worry about food and clothing, and even steadily develop his skills under the training of the Black Rose Knights! With this, he was sure to live a safe and stable life until her natural end.

Although he had to pay the price of dressing as a woman, compared to what he had gained, these losses seemed trivial. It was just wearing embarrassing female attire for a while, not like he was really losing his manhood!

Lost in his triumphant thoughts, Asar couldn’t help but cover his mouth and let out a smug laugh.

For a moment,

The responsibilities and obligations of being the Son of Destiny were completely forgotten by Asar.

However, due to the teachings of Miss Wanya, the maid’s etiquette had deeply ingrained in Asar’s heart. Even in his smug laughter, he maintained his decorum, using his sleeve to cover his mouth, much like a lady of high standing.

But while he was laughing, Asar suddenly frowned, feeling an unknown chill creeping up from behind. This abruptly cut off his laughter, causing goosebumps all over his body. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw a white figure that had silently appeared behind him.

’Who, who is this?!’

A primal fear quietly spread through Asar’s heart.

Taking a deep breath, Asar turned sharply, gripping his broom tightly and warily looking at the uninvited guest. However, upon seeing the face of the newcomer, Asar’s eyes widened in surprise, ’her’ gem-like pupils reflecting shock.

"Lady Limo! do... do you need something from me??"
