[Volume 5]: Chapter 16 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess
After Amelia explained the deception, the reason behind it somewhat pacified Ifia's anger. At least Amelia didn't treat her like a fool or intentionally deceive her. But Ifia was still quite unhappy. If she easily forgave now, wouldn't it make all her previous suffering in vain? So, as she listened to Amelia's confession, she gave a slight smile, and what was originally a very cute face now showed a mischievous evil smile as she intentionally raised her eyebrows at Amelia. Her black eyes shimmered with specks of light, arrogantly lifting her chin. "I refuse!" "Ifia!" Hearing Ifia's rejection, Amelia's red eyes narrowed, and she held her tighter, her heart already on the brink of bursting, as if mocking her. Even if she doted on Ifia, so what? She is human. It is like treating a disobedient little one, she should be tamed with a chain, locked in a golden cage atop a high tower, tamed slowly. Let her... "Amelia, let go. Don't think I will forgive you easily. If you can't pass the test period, I will ruthlessly abandon you." "Test period?" Just as Amelia struggled to maintain her composure, Ifia's voice sounded softly, with full coyness, causing her gathered efforts to dissipate, her reason returning. Then, Amelia looked down, her silver hair blowing in the wind. Her cool and beautiful face now carried a hint of plaintiveness, like a lovely Samoyed. This made Ifia forcibly endure the upward curve of her mouth and the eager hands wanting to touch her head, feeling frustrated that Amelia was cheating! "Amelia, your reputation as a demon doesn't inspire trust, so I've decided to seriously assess you. Within a month, you must let me see your true heart before I will admit anything." Ifia wouldn't admit it was intentional to make things difficult for Amelia. As the old saying goes, the one who is loved always feels confident. So, no matter how she misbehaved, it was not a problem. Of course, the reason for the sudden demand was Ifia's own concerns. Although she didn't resist Amelia's demonic identity, after all, she was not human. Just as she had thought before, how could she date a demon while being of a different race? She needed a period to adapt to Amelia's demonic identity. Hence, the request was for a month to let her adjust to Amelia's demon identity. "Ifia, do you love me?" Amelia had never felt such emotional turmoil. Although in the past, they had been close, she couldn't imagine life without Ifia. Just because of Ifia's words, she was on the verge of losing her composure and was desperately seeking an answer. "What love or not, Amelia, you're so cheesy!" As Ifia spoke, her ears turned red. Facing Amelia's expectant gaze, she had to ask for a result with her eyes closed, "Love, love, love. I love you the most!" Ifia touched her heart, unable to deny loving Amelia. Just as when she found out she had been deceived by Amelia, she felt so upset, wanted to cry, and wanted to hide alone to lick her wounds. If she didn't love Amelia, how could she feel so heartbroken? Since coming to this world, she had gotten used to having Amelia by her side. Whenever she got close to Amelia, her heart always uncontrollably raced, no matter if Amelia had purple or red eyes, she super liked it. After hearing Ifia say "I love you the most," Amelia's heart raced, her red eyes widened with surprise, a look that she hadn't seen before, making Ifia, who stole a glance, couldn't help but smile. "Hmph, Amelia, don't be too happy yet. If you can't pass the test period, you will definitely cry in the end!" "Ifia, I will do my best to express my love!" Hearing Ifia's response, Amelia immediately wore a radiant smile on her face, then spun Ifia around and excitedly kissed the corner of her mouth. She seemed restless and not as elegant as before. However, in Ifia's eyes, she was so likable~ Well, actually, the demonic tail wasn't that bad! Wait, calm down, don't be swayed by beauty. The test period must be carefully reviewed. Unexpectedly, after discovering Amelia's true demon form, the tricky situation seems to have been resolved just like that. Even though Amelia's confession was rejected, she was not feeling sad right now. After all, hearing Ifia say she liked her, they had entered a period of mutual affection. It's just that they had added a test period. Amelia was extremely happy about this. Even when she brought Ifia back to Count Durer's mansion, her smile didn't fade. Only the demonic form turned into a human one—silver hair and purple eyes, elegant and graceful. At this time, the church clergy and nobles who came to exorcise had been treated to a delicious supper arranged by the butler Bise. Each of them praised it endlessly, making Ifia's eyes light up from saying "I love." Temporarily freed from teasing Amelia, she dragged her to an empty table, and a maid immediately brought the supper over. "Ladies, this is a recipe and secret method brought by Count Durer from a distant eastern kingdom. It tastes sweet and delicious. Please enjoy it slowly." The maid respectfully finished speaking, and two bowls of supper appeared on the table, making Ifia curious. She thought it was something else, but it turned out to be tangyuan. Ifia picked up a chubby tangyuan with chopsticks, took a bite, and the sweet black sesame filling immediately oozed out, making her eat it happily. Could it be that even the heavens knew she and Amelia's feelings had deepened? Hence, these sweet tangyuan had arrived. As her heart was so sweet, when the two collided, it was incredibly sweet. However, it was a bit too sweet... It might be due to the recipe or the cook, but Ifia wasn't that picky this time. She decided to finish them all. While sitting across from Amelia, who was sweetly enjoying her supper, Ifia watched curiously as Saint Tiffany seemed to glance in her direction with pursed lips and a stern expression, as if unwilling to see them together.
