CHAPTER 339 - Selina Astralflare.
*Tip**Top**Tip**Top*...
As both Noctura and Alex turned to look at the source of the tapping sound of the heels, they found a woman walking toward them.
"Grrr…"
Noctura, who saw the woman, growled out loud, her fur standing to the ends in warning.
Alex, however, just sighed as he saw her.
No matter how many times he sees her, she just doesn't get less attractive.
He couldn't help but appreciate her looks, his eyes scanning her from top to bottom.
She is a strikingly seductive woman, exuding confidence and allure.
Her smooth, wavy, dark purple hair was flowing down her back, contrasting beautifully with her creamy complexion.
Her bright violet eyes, sharp and captivating, hold a mysterious, almost hypnotic charm, drawing one in with just a glance.
Her full, inviting lips curl into a knowing smile, hinting at her playful yet mature demeanor.
She carries herself with a graceful yet sultry poise, her curvaceous figure emphasized by a well-fitted gown that highlights her ample bust and elegant curves.
Her presence is tantalizing, making people feel like lower beings in front of her.
"She's cute, my lord."
The woman uttered it with a flirty smirk, and Alex just smiled back at her.
"That she is."
Alex smiled back at her, his gaze turning to look at Noctura, and his hand moving up to pet her head.
"Prrrr…"
And the moment Alex scratched her head, Noctura melted on his shoulder, purring in delight.
Alex didn't say anything after that; he just kept smiling at Noctura as he caressed her head.
The woman, however, had a certain glint of understanding pass through her eyes.
*Snap*
She snapped her finger, and the next second, two wine glasses along with a tray appeared in her hand, causing Alex to raise his brow.
*Inhale*
But as the fragrance of the drink in those glasses reached him, he inadvertently took another whiff of it.
He closed his eyes, enjoying the calm, cool, yet hot, and mind-stirring scent of the drink.
*Exhale*Nôv(el)B\\jnn
After a while, he finally released the puff of air he was holding in, and he opened his eyes, only to see the woman in front of him extending one glass toward him with a playful smile.
"Would you like to try it, my lord?"
She asked the question even though she already knew the answer.
"Sure."
Alex, knowing full well what this woman was trying, played along with it.
He took the glass from her palm, ignoring her fingers that brushed against his before he started to walk toward the balcony.
'Huh?'
The woman who saw this was left a bit stunned.
'Wasn't he supposed to talk to me after this??'
As a general courtesy, when one offers a drink to someone, it means that they want to talk with them, and if they accept the drink, it means that they have agreed to have a conversation.
This was done by people of the same rank or by people of lower rank when they wanted to talk to someone of higher rank.
That was the reason why people offered the best drink they could, just so that the one in front of them would want to drink it no matter what, but Alex wasn't following along!
The woman, however, soon calmed down and followed behind Alex.
"Is the drink to your liking, my lord?"
She inquired with a knowing smile as she hurriedly caught up to Alex.
"Hmm…"
Alex, however, didn't answer her question; he moved the glass away from his lips and twirled the drink within it, staring at his own reflection within the drink.
Noctura, on the other hand, had her gaze fixed on the woman.
This woman gave her the same feeling as Luna, and she didn't like either of them.
Why?
Because the feeling they gave her was manipulative, as if they were made for manipulating others.
This woman also had the scent of many men on her body, and although Alex had explained to her how having the scent of many men didn't make one a harlot or slut, there was still a chance that this woman might be one.
"Just tell me what you want, Selina."
Alex finally spoke, his eyes still focused on the glass of wine, and his words were directed toward the woman, whose name turned out to be Selina.
He didn't have to be wiser to understand the underlying meaning behind her last words; she was trying to remind him that he had accepted her drink.
He knew what kind of woman she was: a sly and manipulative woman with power to boot—that's what she was.
She is the second hidden powerhouse of the demon empire, Selina Astralflare.
A mythical 3-ranked mage with outstanding mastery over space elements.
She was a demon general candidate along with Valerius and other demon generals, but she didn't want the responsibilities of a demon general, so she decided to take on the position of the protector of the borders.
Now, she governs the bordering kingdoms.
From the amount of luck she had, Alex was surprised that she wasn't a protagonist or even a heroine.
She was just a normal human, but the thing that surprised him was that she had a title, something Alex had never seen on anyone other than himself.
(Protagonist and heroine titles are not included.)
She was special, and Alex knew that, but that didn't mean that he would give her special treatment.
"Ah, you misjudged my intentions, my lord."
Selina, however, shook her head with a sigh, causing Alex to turn his gaze at her.
He didn't speak or question what she meant; he just raised his brow while still twirling the drink in his hand.
'Is my charm getting lowered or something?'
Selina, who saw Alex's dull reaction, couldn't help but question her charm.
She had never been in a situation where she had to be this active.
No matter where she goes, people will swarm around her and question her about her well-being, even if they don't see any sign of discomfort in her expression.
Now, however, things have changed.
For the first time, she found a man who wasn't even trying to impress her or anything like that; he was instead ignoring her.
For some unknown reason, she started to feel a new fire burning in her body. A grin slowly made its way to her face; soon, however, it was gone.
Her eyes gazed into Alex's with a deep look and a playful smile before she waved her hand.
*Woosh*
A wooshing sound was heard, and the next second, Alex, Noctura, and Selina were gone from the place.
*Swoosh* X5
The next second, however, a fierce wind blew, and 5 figures appeared right where they had disappeared from.
The ones who appeared were Azaroth, Nyx, Malak, Morvan, and Valerius, and all of them had a frown on their faces before a sigh escaped their lips.
"It's her…"
Valerius muttered as his palm massaged his forehead.
Azaroth, on the other hand, continued to stare at a certain spot, as if he were looking at someone, and the next second, he nodded his head.
"Everything's fine; go back to whatever you were engaged with."
He ordered the generals, and all of them bowed their heads and left without saying anything.
Morvan and Nyx did pause for a bit, staring at the spot where Alex was standing a moment ago, their thoughts unknown.
But just like the others, they moved away the next second.
