It’s a sleepless night.

Hyunseong opened his eyes. A large, soft bed mattress that almost sinks your body inside does not help you sleep.

I’m alone tonight

Lilith, who was always by his side at night, is not by his side today. As the organizer of a management competition, she was working without sleep preparing for the competition to be held in a few days.

There is no rough Agni, no Queen Luciferia, no troublemaker Leah.

But you won’t really be alone.

The elite of the palace’s elite are guarding the door. The two men standing at the entrance were standing guard, fully armed and wearing armor. There have already been several attempts to invade by nobles, servants, or outsiders who were possessed by Hyeonseong’s pheromones. They overpowered them all at once and threw them into the dungeon.

The fact that they did not lose their composure even in front of Hyeonseong showed how elite the two guards were. Although they are cute female warriors whose faces turn red sometimes when they make eye contact with Hyunseong. Are the Valkyries from Norse mythology like that?

Hyunseong opened the window for a moment and came out onto the balcony. As he stepped out onto the balcony, the soundproofing magic in the room disappeared and a buzzing sound filled his ears. In front of the palace, it was crowded with demons who had gathered to prepare for the management competition and to get a glimpse of him. The real-time scene he saw on MATube was not a mess.

Moreover, in that state, contest participants and other crowds gathered together, so it was essentially a small territorial dispute. The slightly interesting news was that Mya Bridge and Mya Guardian Corps occupied a fairly large area. What I saw on MATube was a pseudo-religious gathering itself. In their area, believers were seen praying devoutly to him.

Hyeonseong recalled that scene and trembled.

[Myanam descends! Live pilgrimage to the sacred site in front of the palace! Now, we, Mya Church, are protecting the sacred site with love and devotion in front of the palace filled with Mya’s grace!]

What unfolded on the screen was an incredible sight.

The square in front of the palace, where numerous demons had gathered, was a complete mess, but the area occupied by the Mya Church believers was orderly.

They were sitting around in what looked like a huge magic circle. In the front row, people wearing white robes were kneeling and praying reverently with their hands together, and behind them were demons wearing colorful clothes standing in an orderly line.

What was surprising was that the number seemed to be well over several thousand. What was even more surprising was what they had in their hands.

[Myana’s cuteness brings order to chaos! Myana’s loveliness forgives hatred! Myana’s hunting power brings hope to despair!]

[Praise Myana! Myaa! Myaa! Myaa!]

They were waving smartphones with Hyunseong’s face on them in one hand and colorful glow-in-the-dark sticks in the other, continuously shouting “Mya”. It was a scene reminiscent of an idol concert.

[We, Mya Church, will follow Mya’s words and spread the gospel of love, peace, and Meow Nyang Punch!]

On one side of the screen, a demon wearing a white robe was giving a passionate sermon. In his hands was a Bible, or rather, a ‘nyangyeong’ with Mya’s picture engraved on it.

[Myaah! Myaa! Myaa!]

Hyeonseong unconsciously moved his smartphone away from his ear as he heard the cheers of Myagyo believers filling the square.

‘What on earth is this…?’

In addition, there were great nobles and fools who publicly proposed marriage, and there was even a live fight scene.

In fact, only a handful of high-ranking powerhouses among the demons remained in the central square.

Hyunseong inadvertently leaned on the balcony railing and looked down. To Hyeonseong, the sight of the demon guards standing firm despite the enormous height was simply amazing. The solid muscles revealed through the gaps in their armor, their sharply shining eyes, and above all, their gigantic bodies, well over 2 meters tall, made Hyeonseong feel intimidated.

‘Everyone is beautiful. I mean. Plus, her breasts are so big that there’s nowhere to put your eyes.’

Hyunseong shook his head and looked away. It was then.

“Hmm… Is that… ‘Mya’…?”

A girl as beautiful as a doll, dressed in an old-fashioned dress, appeared from the shadows. Silver hair that shined like platinum hair, skin as pale as white, and eyes that shined like red rubies boasted a beauty that overwhelms those who see it. But what caught the eye more than anything was her aura. The air around her seemed to change, as if she had just walked out of a long-forgotten old castle, a mysterious and strangely sad atmosphere.

“Oh my, what are you doing on the balcony at this time of night…?”

The girl walked as lightly as a feather and stood across from Hyeonseong. Her movements were so light and quiet that it made me feel like I was seeing an illusion.

“Um, over there…”

Hyunseong took a step back without realizing it.

“Do you know who I am?”

The girl narrowed her eyes and asked Hyunseong. There was an unknown smile on her lips. The smile was beautiful, but at the same time it gave off a cool vibe. Like a black rose blooming in the deep darkness.

“I am… the master of this night… and… your…”

The girl trailed off and took a step closer to Hyeonseong. Her red eyes sparkled under the moonlight.

“No… I can’t even name it right now.”

The girl muttered softly as if sighing. Then he quickly shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“Tsk… If it wasn’t a treaty.”

The girl muttered something again, but this time it was so quiet that Hyeonseong’s ears couldn’t hear it. However, I was able to feel the emotions contained in those words without missing them. It was a complex and subtle mixture of deep sadness, anger, and resignation.

“You’ll be safe because we’re on guard… but don’t be too close to the window.”

The girl spoke again in a soft voice and carefully took a step back from Hyeonseong. Her red eyes were still fixed on Hyunseong, but the atmosphere was not as overwhelming as before. On the contrary, I felt somewhat anxious and cautious.

“A while ago, a pretty rude guy tried to break into your bedroom.”

The girl spoke quietly and frowned.

“There was an intrusion attempt? I didn’t hear anything?”

The girl chuckled at Hyeonseong’s words. The white skin that glowed in the dark seemed to turn red for a moment.

“Hehe… You don’t know anything.”

She spoke in a friendly voice, as if she were talking to an old friend.

“Foolish things blinded by their desire for you are snooping around this palace day and night.”

The girl continued speaking with sparkling red eyes.

“How dare those vulgar things… How dare you treat ‘Mya’…!”

Her eyes flashed coldly for a moment. But soon he spoke again with a gentle smile.

“But… don’t worry. Mya. Our ancient blood relatives are protecting you…”

She took a step closer to Hyeonseong and whispered softly in his ear.

“As for the bugs that dare to contaminate you… we will take care of them all. So please rest assured…”

Her cold lips brushed Hyunseong’s earlobe.

“Have a sweet dream… Mya…”

At that moment, Hyunseong felt goosebumps growing all over his body. Her tone was obviously friendly, but it couldn’t hide the creepy meaning behind it.

“Ah, over there…”

Hyunseong took a step back without realizing it.

“Okay, then I’ll just leave…”

Hyunseong hurriedly retreated from the balcony. A girl’s low laughter came from behind him.

“Hehehe…”

The girl leaned on the balcony railing where Hyeonseong had disappeared and looked up at the night sky. There was an unknown light in her red eyes.

Hyeonseong quickly closed the balcony door and hid behind the curtain. My heart was pounding.

“Phew…”

The moment Hyeonseong finally took a deep breath and turned around, he was startled. I saw Sephia sitting on his bed.

‘How long have you been here?’

Sephia smiled softly at Hyunseong. Her red eyes looked as drowsy as usual, but there was a cold glow to them somehow. As if he knew everything that had just happened.

“Mya, the night air is quite cold. I’m going to catch a cold.”

Sepia spoke sweetly and stood up. Then he approached Hyunseong and stroked his head.

“You’d better stop sleeping now.”

Hyunseong nodded. I felt a little pathetic for obediently following Sepia’s words, but right now, I felt safest next to her.

Sephia smiled with satisfaction and laid Hyeonseong on the bed and covered him with a blanket. Then, before quietly leaving the room, I suddenly looked back.

“Oh, and…”

Her eyes turned towards the balcony. There was still a trace of the girl there.

“Don’t tease Mya too much. King Seonjo.”

Sepia’s voice was still soft, but it contained a clear warning.

“You little one. Don’t worry. I will keep the treaty.”

With the girl’s last words, the presence beyond the balcony disappeared. Sephia stood still for a moment as if lost in thought, then turned her head to look at Hyunseong.

“Sleep well, Mya.”

When Hyeonseong was about to close his eyes in bed after hearing Sepia’s goodbye, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

‘No, but everyone is naturally talking to me, right?’

I didn’t even know it was strange because of the atmosphere.

When Leah discovered the method, the number of people she talked to began to increase in an instant. Is it possible for all high-ranking demons to have conversations now?
