A Righteous Demon Girl and the Angel She’ll Never Meet-Chapter 47 : Chapter 47

Chapter 47 : Lola, save me!
“Hm?”
At the dining table in Nolen’s mansion, Iphilia, who was enjoying dinner with her best friend, suddenly shuddered as if struck by lightning.
She looked up in confusion, gazing through the mansion’s window at the distant, somewhat illusory city.
“What’s wrong, Iphie? You seem restless.”
Noticing Iphilia’s unnatural reaction, Nolen set down her knife and fork, asking with a hint of concern.
“It’s not… I just… suddenly felt uneasy…”
Iphilia furrowed her brow slightly.
The feeling came out of nowhere, and even she didn’t know why she was struck by this inexplicable sensation.
“Oh? I bet… Sister Iphilia’s missing her wife, huh? Tsk tsk tsk, who’d have thought the grand Hell Princess would have a day where her heart flutters…”
Lina suddenly popped up beside her, leaning in with a mischievous tease.
Our poor demon miss could only flush red and instinctively deny it.
But Lina’s words did hit a nerve.
Iphilia suddenly worried—could Aimiya, left alone at home, be in danger? Like, say, being targeted by that black-robed man for revenge…
『No way! Why am I overthinking this? Aimiya’s got that seraph’s miracle, after all. How could that black-robed man possibly be her match? I must’ve spent too much time obsessing over catching him these past few days, and now I’m seeing everything through that lens…』
Iphilia reassured herself inwardly.
The black-robed man would avoid Aimiya at all costs—why would he seek her out?
Right, that must be it. Besides, with Aimiya’s strength, what was there to worry about? What was there to…
“…Sigh.”
“Sorry, Nolen-chan, I’ll have to end the tea party here. Thanks for your hospitality, but I’ve got some urgent business and need to leave first.”
Iphilia let out a soft sigh, then stood abruptly, offering Nolen an apologetic farewell.
“What’s the matter, Iphie? Need my help?”
“No need, Nolen-chan. I can handle it alone.”
With that, Iphilia turned and left, moving so hurriedly it seemed she was eager to confirm something.
“Uh… Lina, what could make Iphie so anxious?”
After Iphilia left, Nolen leaned toward Lina, looking worriedly in the direction Iphilia had gone.
“Well… maybe I guessed right? Hehe, but, wife, your face is practically screaming ‘I want to go after Iphie’~ Hmph! I’m jealous!!!”
“I-I’m not! And… and who’s your wife!? I’m clearly the master here (whispers)…”
“W-wow~ As expected of my wife… pfft, master, you’re too cute! This blushing, ear-reddening, shy, coy, bashful, fidgety look is just too exciting!
Master-chan~ Do you know how tempting you look right now, shrinking back like a little lamb, trembling all over!? Come on, let’s go to the bedroom… and play a little game, how about it?”
“E-e-e-eh!? L-Lola, save me!!!”
Watching her princess, ears red with embarrassment, being dragged toward the bedroom by Lina, our maid smiled and nodded, as if to say: Don’t back down, Princess! Face her head-on! Show Miss Lina the might of the Bloodkin royal family Tuoriduo!
Nolen: Seriously, are you for real?
“Lola—save…”
“Bang!”
As Lina slammed the bedroom door shut, Nolen’s figure vanished from Lola’s sight.
Instantly, Lola’s expression shifted from indulgence to concern.
Thinking of her princess’s weak, receptive nature, Lola felt a headache coming on.
Princess, please, show some spirit! Though Her Majesty approved this marriage, she’s quite displeased that you’re always the one on the bottom!
Not to mention, some of the clan’s old fogeys don’t know about this yet.
Once they do, the pressure on Her Majesty will only grow!
After all, the Bloodkin Princess being pinned down by a human girl… it’s far too damaging to royal dignity…
Recalling the words Her Majesty spoke during her last to the royal city, Lola grew even more worried for her princess’s future.
『Besides me, she must gain the approval of at least one progenitor for this marriage to proceed.』
『P-Progenitor!? But those elders are mostly rigid traditionalists. Just getting them to accept that the princess is yuri would take tremendous effort, let alone that Miss Lina is human…』
『By common sense, it’s indeed impossible.』
『Your Majesty… but that would… break the princess’s heart…』
『But that’s only by common sense. Remember the pendant I gave Lina?』
『Wasn’t that just an ordinary accessory? Unless… it belonged to a progenitor? Your meaning is… the princess must gain the approval of the pendant’s original owner?』
『Very sharp, Lola~ Exactly. If she can gain “her” approval, the other old fossils’ opinions won’t matter.』
Lola gave the closed bedroom door one last glance, feeling deep uncertainty about Nolen and Lina’s future.
The approval of a progenitor…
The road ahead… would surely be arduous…
…
Meanwhile, in an abandoned factory in Wangyou City, Aimiya darted through buildings of various sizes, desperately trying to shake off the 【Corpse Bearers】 hot on her trail.
“Give up, angel! You can’t escape my grasp! Your soul and body—my faction claims them today!”
The black-robed man’s smug voice echoed behind her.
Aimiya’s expression darkened.
She’d been maneuvering here for over ten minutes without finding any exploitable weakness.
If this dragged on until her stamina ran out, things would get dire.
“What now… Try escaping this area?”
Though the 【Corpse Bearers】 were massive, their speed wasn’t slow.
At full sprint, they could nearly match Aimiya.
If not for the terrain advantage of weaving through buildings, her situation would be even worse.
“Those things can’t fly… Maybe I can fly out of this area and seek help from the Night Watch!”
Aimiya gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and rapidly flapped her wings, transforming into a streak of white light soaring toward the distant city!
But as she reached a certain point in the sky, she suddenly bounced back as if hitting an invisible wall!
The massive recoil sent her crashing to the ground, smashing into the factory’s workshop.
“Useless! I set up a barrier around this place long ago, at the cost of plenty of souls!
Sigh, though I’ll need time to replenish those souls, the barrier’s effect is top-notch—one way in, no way out.
How’s that? Hahahahaha! Now neither that demon nor the Night Watch will notice what’s happening here! You’re mine!!!”
