Sitting in a corner, Daniel was having his breakfast.
"Oh~ so young~ that King of Dusk," remarked Snow next to him, but Daniel paid no attention and continued enjoying his meal.
As the King of Dusk and King Allen walked together, Snow commented again, "I heard that the royal bloodline of the City of Dusk is a group of handsome men and beautiful women, seems like it's not just a rumor~"
While Snow focused on this, Daniel was more concerned with the King of Dusk's expression. One moment, he looked friendly towards King Allen, but the next moment, a guard whispered something to the King of Dusk from behind, and his expression changed from kindness to surprise, and then to anger.
"Something must have happened," Daniel mused. The King of Dusk then abandoned King Allen and hurried back to his own group alone.
"What happened?" Snow asked curiously. Daniel chose to remain silent rather than reply.
However, at that moment, someone else chimed in, "This king will eventually be consumed by his own jealousy." The speaker was not Daniel or Snow, but the third person at the breakfast table—a little girl wearing a gothic-style dress.
Despite the perspiration beading on Daniel's forehead, the little girl remained indifferent, stating, "Jealousy? His aura is filled with jealousy, so strong that it might devour him at any moment."
Daniel did not argue, understanding the implication. If he guessed correctly, the target of the King's jealousy was Cyclone, and the reason was the disappearance of Princess Elyse.
Daniel had known for a long time that the King of Dusk was a closeted sister-complex—serious on the outside but twisted within. According to sources Daniel had deployed, rumors were true—Elyse was indeed by Cyclone's side.
Thinking back, it was Daniel who had orchestrated Cyclone's meeting with Elyse. He knew Elyse's preferences well and understood the tactical training between Cyclone and his two wives. Together, Cyclone was undoubtedly Elyse's dream lover.
Daniel's plan had indeed laid the foundation for an alliance between Allen Castle and the City of Dusk. The King of Dusk would never do anything Elyse did not approve of. His nature dictated that as long as Elyse was happy, all her requests would be granted.
But that was the folly of youth. With time, a king would inevitably be consumed by power. While all the city's women adored him, what he most desired remained out of reach. As Elyse left and he himself turned into a devil incarnate, the two young girls by his side showed no concern and discussed the King's jealousy.
Unable to stand it, Daniel interjected, "Enough from both of you." Snow complied with the employer's request, but the other little girl continued, "Your expression seems to reveal something~ spill it!"
"…”
"Tsk tsk tsk~ I can tell without you saying a word~ my nose is sharp, and his jealousy definitely involves women!"
"…”
The little girl picked up a fan and held it over her head. "It must be some grassroots man who stole the woman he likes, triggering such a malicious jealousy~"
"Is jealousy categorized as malicious or not?" A topic that should have been dropped suddenly became lively because of the young girl before them.
"Of course~ I am the Jealousy of the Seven Deadly Sins~ among all kinds of jealousy, mine is the most terrifying~ hehehe~"
If it weren't for the task ahead, Daniel really wouldn't want to involve the little girl in front of him.
