Lin Luo explained, "In other words, reincarnating as a Devil."
"..."
Merry froze for a moment.
It turned out she had completely misunderstood.
But did becoming a Devil mean abandoning her race entirely?
"Um, can I refuse?"
"Sure."
Lin Luo flashed a grin.
Thank goodness.
Merry let out a huge sigh of relief, but she had clearly celebrated too soon.
"You just need to give back the wish I granted you."
Merry went blank.
My wish.
Wasn't that asking Mr. Devil to save my life?
If I give it back... no, no, no. Absolutely not.
Maybe I could try running away.
Remembering the power Lin Luo had just displayed, Merry sighed softly.
If I did that...
I'd probably die an even more horrible death.
In that case...
I'm afraid I have no choice.
But before becoming a Devil, is there something else I can do?
Though if I do...
Will Mr. Devil think I'm too greedy?
But...
What if it works?
She took a deep breath and looked at Lin Luo with nervous determination.
"Mr. Devil, could you grant me one more tiny wish?"
"Oh, you certainly know how to bargain."
Lin Luo gave her a long look. "Still, I treat my Familiars very well."
"And you more or less count as a prospective one, so go ahead and tell me."
As long as he doesn't reject me outright.
Merry sighed in relief, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes. "I hope you can help Lady Elizabeth, Mr. Devil."
"Oh, the Blood Queen."
"You actually know about her, Mr. Devil?"
"Of course. I know a little."
Lin Luo nodded and smiled. "How do you want me to help?"
"Mr. Devil, do you happen to know a way for Vampires to overcome their urge to drink blood?"
Countless years ago...
