Xia walked over slowly, without any word. He still held the small box in his hand. In the end, the demon lord literally shoved them out the door with it. He really wanted to throw it away.
But some part of him wanted to hold on to it.
They both sat down next to the banks of the lake silently. The ghoul also followed them silently. Previously, when they had entered the demon's residence, Icarus did not allow him to enter. So he had stood outside waiting for them.
Xia rolled the box and played around with it.
"Love, if you are so bothered by it, give it to me. I Can toss it over the wall so that the demon would get it," Long whispered.
Xia shook his head. He hugged the box and sighed. "Long, are you a royalty?" he whispered.
The golden dragon started sweating. "Would you.... would you hate me if I say yes," he whispered.
Xia gazed at him with a wooden stare. "Why do you think so? So tell me are you or are you not?"
