Chapter 203: I have
While Alex and Stella went around the Fayhun City searching for information about Damon Mouga and his family, Sara Deathwill was actually on the last step on her quest.
She was currently in Damon Mouga's office, wearing her official clothes. She looked as gorgeous as ever, giving off an impression of high nobility.
Sara donned a black dress, which revealed her arms. A shining pearl necklace decorated her pale neck while a black ribbon held her long hair in a ponytail. She sat straight with a purse in her hands; her eyes were locked on Damon Mouga.
"Have you enjoyed your stay in my city, Sara Deathwill?" Damon Mouga faintly smiled, his aura falling short of Sara's nobility.
He had seen Sara quite frequently during her stay here. She would always cloth herself in black dresses, every piece perfectly wrapping her curves and emphasizing her beauty.
If Damon forgot about her background, her father, and the catastrophe that had happened to him due to the Deathwill Kingdom, then Damon would do everything to keep that beauty in his city and even take her hand to his family.
Alas, she was Deathwill, and his hatred toward them was unquestionable.
"Enjoy is a wrong word, Mr. Mouga… I have learned a lot here, though," Sara spoke without revealing her emotions, keeping a soft smile on her face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDamon chuckled, "So how much you have learned?"
In the beginning, Sara used her surname to have a talk with Damon Mouga. She wanted to see whether he had joined hands with the hungry demons and became an enemy that would aim for her home.
However, it was pretty hard to see through him.
Damon Mouga also had never revealed his feelings. He made Sara understand that he would never work with her, though.
Nonetheless, Sara had arrived here with a mission. If she were to help Damon Mouga, she would be able to get a high-quality item for her beloved from the treasury. Sara also wanted to ensure that Damon Mouga would never become the hungry demon.
Sara parted her lips, conveying what she had learned about the Fayhun City and Damon Mouga's situation.
He listened without any change of expression. After Sara finished her talk, Damon Mouga extended his hand for a cup of tea, lifting it slowly, "The Berden Kingdom has accepted us after we fled to their borders.
I understand that. They needed someone to be on the border with The Lost Kingdom, just in case some abomination came out of it," Damon whispered.
His city was in the province bordering the Lost Kingdom, formerly the Deathwill Kingdom. That darkness had left many people scared, including royalties from the Berden Kingdom.
The former noble who resided in the Fayhun City had relocated himself and his family far away from this province. He still kept his businesses here, though.
Damon then raised his eyes, glaring at Sara, "But we weren't accepted by the community here. Even to this day, you can hear them insulting us. We are cowards in their eyes. They believe we should've died in that darkness as well."
Sara chimed in with an urgent voice, "The deaths of people in the Lost Kingdom haven't been confirmed."
Damon replied with composure, "Don't interrupt me, Sara Deathwill." He put down his cup before continuing, "The Berden Kingdom has also been forced to accept the demi-human communities due to political matters. In this city, we are looked down on by humans and demi-humans.
They are a bunch of unlawful hoodlums," Damon's face scrunched with disgust.
The former noble had kept his businesses here, not letting Damon start anything serious. But worse, the humans and demi-humans hadn't accepted them yet. Because of those two factors, Damon Mouga and his family became like sacrificial soldiers.
Their job was just to guard the border.
"Nothing will change unless I actually sacrifice myself for their sake," Damon looked outside the window, seemingly recalling something precious, "People realize how worthless they are once the calamity strikes."
Sara didn't say anything, knowing what Damon alluded to. She inwardly knew about Damon's connection with the villain guilds, though. And because of that, she waited for his following words.
Damon noticed that she respected him, so he chuckled, "Sara Deathwill. Your father must've left behind an extensive quest list, didn't he? I am on that list, yet you can't help me. You can't get any experience or treasure from it.
You have spent the days here for nothing," he chuckled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSara shook her head, "I told you that I've learned valuable information. Let me ask you this bluntly, then.
Have you sided with the hungry demons?" Sara's eyes gleamed blue as if she could see through all lies.
Damon's lips curved up, "You told me that you found new happiness? What is it, Sara Deathwill?"
"I got lovely sisters and a reliable man, who will love me until the end," Sara replied with pride.
"From your words, It's fair to infer that you don't have any plans to return on a big stage. With Elias Deathwill's inheritance left behind, you have enough money for a few generations. If you play it smartly, you will have other kingdoms willing to support you.
It must be nice to have human and dullahan blood, isn't it?" Damon chuckled, then added, "But I am the head of Mouga Family.
I have the lives of countless people weighing on my heart. I am not going to give up on them, particularly in this new environment. I also… don't want to… If our noble generation ended with me, I wouldn't be able to face my father and grandfather.
I wouldn't be able to face my ancestors.
I must keep going… I must grasp this fear and turn it into my weapon… So you have asked me whether I've sided with the hungry demons…" Damon's eyes burst out with red energy, shimmering with killing intent.
"I have," he said with a faint smile.
Sara bit her lips.
