Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"You know, I've been feeling a very possessive gaze on me for a while."

Luna spoke in a cryptic tone; one couldn't make out her emotions from her voice, but Alex, who could read emotions, could easily tell that she was annoyed.

From the moment Luna moved away from Alex, or more accurately, from the moment Alex moved up to the first floor, Luna constantly felt this gaze.

It was as if the owner of that gaze hadn't noticed her until Alex had moved away.

Luna, however, didn't even look at whoever it was.

She kept on talking with the noblewomen, trying to pull them into the small organization she was making.

Unlike Alice and Ann, who would just bash the head of the owner or slash their neck, Luna was more interested in seeing Alex's reaction.

She wanted to see if Alex would move forward to protect her or not.

Would he show the same possessive side he had for Alice and Ann for her as well?

Soon, however, she got her answer.

*Tremble*

*Grit*

She felt the mana around her tremble for a second, and she also heard the sound of teeth being grounded.

Luna's expression turned jolly the moment she felt and heard that and the moment she saw Alex's expression, her body trembled in happiness.

'Haha, he does like me in the actual sense.'

She laughed inwardly, happy that she had at least crossed the first layer.

Alex's face currently had a hard frown, and his eyes shone intensely, spewing killing intent. Although it was just for a second, Luna, who had been observing his expression without missing anything, saw it all.

"Can you still feel it?"

His eyes then turned toward her, now as calm as lake water, but that calmness sent a shiver down her spine.

For some reason, Alex's calmness right now didn't feel like the usual calmness he had.

"Y-Yes.."

Luna, who was at the focus of those eyes, couldn't help but stammer; she felt scared and excited at the same time.

"Where is it coming from?"

Alex questioned as his eyes sharpened.

Was there someone daring enough to stare at the demon lord's woman when she was standing right next to him?

"U-Um, it's from the right corner of the ballroom."

Luna replied, unable to stop herself from stuttering again.

The look in his eyes was just too much for her; it was hitting her in the right spot, making her feel all the things she wanted to feel from Alex.

Alex, however, didn't look away from Luna's eyes and growled.

"Point it out with your eyes."

He had a guess of who could be daring enough to not put the demon lord in their eyes, but he wasn't sure, so although there was a light of excitement shining within his eyes, he reigned it in.

Luna, who noticed that flicker of excitement in his eyes, got a bit confused, but the next second...

*Grip*

"Do it…"

As she felt Alex's arm on her shoulder, turning her toward the ballroom's ground floor, and heard his growling voice in her ears, her body trembled.

'W-What is this…?'

She felt strangely good even though Alex was being forceful with her, and her eyes, that were gleaming with confusion, automatically turned toward the person whose gaze she could feel even now.

She didn't know that Alex had unknowingly started to use his incubus aura on her, and the pleasure she felt was because of that.

Her eyes, however, paused the moment she found the person who had been staring at her for a while.

It was a boy who looked to be 18 or 19 years old, with a certain charm that pulled people—especially women—in.

He had bright red hair flowing down his back carelessly, and bright golden eyes shone with intelligence and maturity that shouldn't be possible for a guy of his age, causing whoever looks into those eyes to hold their gaze, even if it's just for a second longer.

His face was as good as one could make it to be, with high cheekbones and a sharp jawline.

There was an aura of mystery around him that made people feel that he knew more than what he let on, adding more to his charm.

His body was not short, yet not tall, just perfect as it towered at 190 centimeters, almost equal to Alex's.

Right now, he was wearing a tight-fit red shirt with its upper buttons free and a black pant that reached his ankles.

His eyes were shining with a possessive light as if he had seen something that he couldn't let go of no matter what.

"You like his looks?"

Luna, who had her eyes fixed on the guy, heard a shiver-inciting, cold voice next to her ear; she could feel the hot air along with those words, but instead of feeling scared or anything, her reply was simple and instantaneous.

"Fuck no."

Her head snapped toward Alex, who spoke those words, a disgusted frown on her face, her body shivering ever so slightly as she could feel repulsion.

"He looks like those cheap guys who would chase after every skirt they could find, and he wears clothes like he's a call boy or something."

Her words were laced with disdain and distaste; it was as if she was repulsed by the mere thought of liking that guy.

He was the worst type she would like.

Alex, who could read her like a book, finally smiled at her.

"Good to know."

He patted her cheek with the hand that had been holding her shoulder for a while, and Luna, who felt the warm hand on her face, had all of her dissatisfaction evaporate.

Alex's eyes finally turned toward the flashy guy who had been staring at Luna, and it seemed like that guy had finally noticed that there was someone standing right next to Luna.

Alex did feel an intense killing intent from the guy for an instant—just for a mere millisecond or even shorter period, but it was as clear as it could be—and it was at the moment he touched Luna's cheeks.

The next second, however, a woman standing next to that guy nudged him from the side and told him that the demon lord was looking their way, causing the guy to finally notice that the one he had directed his killing intent was the demon lord.

Alex could see the guy's eyes tremble in fear, but it was only for a second; the next second, they returned to normal calmness, and he stared right back into Alex's eyes.

It was as if he was sure that Alex wasn't going to kill him.

Alex's cold eyes gleamed intensely for a second.

'A guy stared at my woman, then he directed his killing intent at me, and now he has the gal to stare right into my eyes.'

He couldn't believe someone could do it, but just then he heard Sophia's voice in his head.

[Here you go.]

As if she had felt his anger, and as if she knew what could elevate his mood, she gave him just the right thing, and looking at the new screen in front of him, a grin broke out on Alex's face—a cold grin that sent a shiver down the spine of anyone who happened to look his way.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

They didn't know whom it was directed at since Alex turned back toward Luna, the moment he grinned, but they gave their condolences to the man or woman who had made the anomaly demon lord to make that face.
