Chapter 274 A Little More Effort
The next day, Jiang Liyue indeed switched to the job of a maid.
However, Hermer was exceptionally lenient with her and did not force her to stay by his side.
Jiang Liyue would occasionally make him a cup of coffee, and then fly out like a butterfly to pick flowers in the garden.
Sometimes she would suddenly burst into his office with a bouquet of flowers in hand, then look at him with a beaming smile and ask, "Your Grace, isn't it beautiful?"
Hermer stared at her, mesmerized: "Beautiful."
As a result, his once solemn and quiet office was filled with many things that did not belong to him.
Some different flowers that change every day, some soft cushions that belong to her, and her favorite cup.
The desserts she occasionally served.
Hermer allowed her to go anywhere in Terence Castle.
One day, in order to find him, she even barged into their conference room.
A group of pale-faced vampires at the top of the dark world all looked over.
He was initially cursing who dared to trespass on the king's territory, but when he saw Jiang Liyue, he exclaimed, "Where did this fragrant little human come from?"
A vampire's primary cravings are blood and desire.
They stared at her greedily, like wolf cubs who hadn't eaten for dozens of days.
Jiang Liyue stood there, holding the flowers, stunned.
Just as I was contemplating whether to run away, I heard the man sitting at the head of the table say, "Come here."
His expression carried a possessiveness towards her, a longing that grew more pronounced the more he thought about her, and a displeasure with others.
Jiang Liyue obediently walked over.
Then she was pulled onto his lap and made to sit down, with the flowers in her arms.
The vampires were stunned by what they saw: Is this still their king who doesn't even drink human blood?
It's important to know that vampires, due to their long lifespans and immense power, tend to indulge their desires.
A vampire has no desire for blood, let alone any other desires.
They had previously speculated that their king might be a sexually frigid vampire, an oddity among oddities.
But who would have thought that one day I would actually see him holding a human little girl?
And even if Wang really had desires, shouldn't they be restrained and indifferent, just like he is?
But the way their king stared at the little girl was so intense it was as if he wanted to devour her whole.
It has nothing to do with indifference!
Hermer noticed the stares from the others and became even more displeased.
Yueyue belongs to him; how dare these ants covet it?
He sneered, "Haven't you seen enough yet?"
The vampires quickly lowered their heads, unable to look any longer.
You still dare to watch this? You're asking for it!
Jiang Liyue stayed obediently in his arms and listened to them finish the entire meeting.
They were talking about which family it was, and what kind of trouble happened in which place.
Jiang Liyue was bored and lowered her head to play with the book in her arms. Hermès seemed to have noticed her mood and grabbed her hand, squeezing it as if he found it interesting.
As the meeting ended and the vampires left with a sigh of relief, exchanging glances, they all shared the same message—
It seems they're going to have a duchess.
After Jiang Liyue and the others left, she shifted uncomfortably in his arms, only to be tightly embraced by Hermès around the waist.
She glared at him: "Hermes, let go of me."
Because Hermes expressed his dislike of being called Duke by her name, Jiang Liyue started calling him by his name, and now it's become quite natural for her to do so.
Hermer, like a rogue, wouldn't let go of her. After spending so much time together, he had come to understand her true nature.
She's nothing like the innocent little rabbit I initially thought she was; in reality, she has a terrible temper, is spoiled, and has a lot of ulterior motives.
Hermer deliberately whispered in her ear, "What should we do, Yueyue? Even if I let go now, in their eyes, I'm still yours."
“I’ve never had a blood servant before, and no human has ever come near me. Now I’m embracing a woman right here in a meeting. I don’t know what they’ll say about me now. My reputation is ruined.”
He looked at Jiang Liyue pitifully, as if trying to make her feel guilty.
Jiang Liyue blinked and looked at him: "So pitiful..."
Her eyes were fixed intently on Hermer, her breath slowly approaching him. In the moment he was distracted, she suddenly pushed him away and jumped to the ground.
Hermer snapped out of her daze and saw her smugly raising her chin: "Still pretending? Don't think I don't know they're so afraid of you, how could they dare to say anything bad about you?"
She looked at him as if she knew right through him, leaving Hermer both amused and exasperated.
That's her true nature—cunning yet adorable.
“Yueyue, I’m not lying to you.” Hermer spread his hands. “At least in their eyes, you’re already my duchess, what do you say we do about it?”
"What should we do?" Jiang Liyue winked slyly. "Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. Go find someone else yourself..."
Noticing Hermer's suddenly dangerous gaze, she turned and tried to slip away.
The next moment, he pulled her back onto his lap, this time with more force, his eyes fixed on her dangerously. He said slowly, "Yueyue asked me to find someone else?"
"No, no." Jiang Liyue sensed danger and hugged him tightly. "Your Grace, how could I let you find someone else? I was just talking nonsense. If you dare to find someone else, I will kill you."
Jiang Liyue spoke those last words sincerely.
Hermer stared at her for a long time, making sure she wasn't lying, before loosening his grip on her a little.
Just when Jiang Liyue thought she had escaped a calamity, an overwhelming barrage of kisses descended upon her.
Hermer took the red lips he had longed for into his mouth; in just a few days, he was already incredibly eager.
He forcibly suppressed his desire, fearing to frighten her, but now it surged up like water released from a dam, and he devoured and sucked at her without restraint.
Jiang Liyue finally couldn't take it anymore and pushed the person away. Her eyelashes were wet, making her look like a flower that had been mercilessly blown away, pitiful yet lovely.
Hermer couldn't resist kissing her beautiful eyes again.
He asked in a low, husky voice, "So, would you like to be my duchess?"
"What's the difference between a duchess and a personal maid?" Jiang Liyue deliberately made things difficult for him.
Hermer thought for a moment, his gaze intense: "Well, the difference is probably that I can belong to you completely."
Jiang Liyue nestled in his arms without saying a word.
Hermer waited a while but didn't get a reply from her. His possessiveness and paranoia kicked in: "Yueyue, I want to hear the answer I want, okay?"
Don't you like him enough? That won't do.
He was willing to give everything for Yueyue, but shouldn't she also give him a little bit of love in return?
Jiang Liyue tilted her head slightly in his arms, bit his Adam's apple as it bobbed up and down, and said indistinctly, "Then you're mine."
Hermer let out a muffled groan, but after hearing her words, he burst into unrestrained laughter.
He held the back of her head and coaxed her in a low voice, "Yueyue, bite harder."
Ideally, we should eat him.
