A Demon's Journey

Edwin continued to move towards his Kloras Town. It was time for him to sow the herbs he was carrying.

These were the herbs Azaroth had received from the King of the Glerian Kingdom. He never found an opportunity to implant them.

Edwin had planned to plant them in Kloras Town's fields.

Planting these herbs wouldn't necessarily be a huge task, but taking care of these herbs would be. Edwin would need to remain nearby to take care of them initially.

He could also train a few people who could take care of these herbs while he was gone.

When he returned, Edwin noticed that nothing was amiss. Everything was going as he had instructed.

There were no sightings of any strange individuals. This was actually surprising for Edwin.

He was expecting Inquisitor Fox and Jonas Rhodes to send some people to investigate the Kloras Town while he was gone.

They should have found out he wasn't in Kloras Town. Why had they not come to investigate Kloras town deeply?

'Was my diversion tactic too effective? That's surprising. I thought Inquisitor Fox would be more challenging.' Edwin even sighed out with a tired expression.

'These have been a tough couple of months. I had to scheme at every second. But the results should be worth it,' Edwin thought seriously.

In the next couple of days, Bianca's husband, Spencer Russel, had returned.

He met up with his wife and his daughter. It had been a couple of months since he had been away from them. He naturally missed them a lot.

The same could not be said for his wife and daughter. They didn't miss him at all.

Sophie didn't miss her father because she wanted to spend more time with Edwin. She knew that her father's return was one of the main reasons Edwin had gone away.

Meanwhile, Bianca was under Edwin's complete control. She no longer felt anything for Spencer and was going to act according to Edwin's wishes.

"You are finally back, dear," Bianca spoke as she welcomed her husband.

The two hugged for a few moments before they separated. Spencer looked around and searched for his daughter, "Where is my lil princess?"

"She is in her room. Sleeping right now," Bianca answered casually.

She then added, "Oh right. While you were gone, Sophie's boyfriend lived with us for a couple of weeks."

"Sophie's boyfriend?!" Spencer received a great shock, "Who is this guy?!"

"It's Edwin Rhodes," Bianca immediately answered.

In reality, it was Edwin who ordered Bianca to reveal this to Spencer. This information couldn't be concealed for long. The Royal Guards who were guarding the perimeter were sure to inform Spencer about him.

It was better if he heard it from Bianca. At the least, his trust in Bianca wouldn't waver.

Moreover, since Bianca informed Spencer about it, he was bound to trust her word a bit more easily.

"Edwin Rhodes has abandoned his seat at the Rhodes House and is ruling over Kloras Town in peace. I talked to him when we met. You trust my judgement, right, hubby?" Bianca asked with a coquettish tone while she removed her husband's jacket and then caressed his chest.

"Yes," Spencer blankly responded.

Spencer had remained completely loyal to Bianca as he held back his lust and didn't have an affair with another woman. He was given many chances.

He was also sure that Bianca would never found out if he fooled around a bit. However, his heart would feel guilty.

If his heart held guilt about this, it would affect his future path of cultivation. He wanted to remain true to himself!

Before he even realized it, his hands snaked around Bianca's waist and pulled her closer to himself.

The two shared a long kiss soon enough, and then Bianca pushed him on the bed.

Without any doubt, the dominant person on the bed was Bianca.

Spencer followed her lead as he came inside her soon enough. Bianca was mildly satisfied, but the two continued on for round two, and Spencer finally made her cum.

After the two shared some very intimate moments, Spencer asked Bianca, "…That was good. It seems you missed me as much as I missed you."

"Obviously. I was worried whether you would even return or not. Your job is getting dangerous. This time, it's the Crown Prince now. There are a lot of people who want to kill him," Bianca spoke with a slightly scared tone.

"Don't worry. Those people can never harm your husband. I am stronger than them!" Spencer replied confidently.

"…Alright," Bianca spoke while turning her body to the other side.

This was a sign that she was angry.

Spencer noticed it, and there was a slight smile on his face. He turned his body in her direction, and his hand moved around her thin waist.

He pulled her closer to himself and hugged her tightly.

Spencer softly spoke, "Alright. As you say, I will be more careful. Besides, it seems that this time the Republic of Raleroma had suffered disastrous losses at the hands of the Crown Prince. They shouldn't dare to raise their weapons against the Sinyalian Kingdom for the next 3 years."

"I don't care. It doesn't lower the danger we are in. Do you know, the Third Prince died in his personal mansion? What if something like this happens to us while you are away?" Bianca asked with a broken voice.

Spencer immediately felt a lot more guilty, "…I apologize. I won't go anyway. I will be with you and Sophie for the next couple of months. Tomorrow, I will go and meet King Valliadis to apply for leave."

"Mhm~!" Bianca's mood instantly improved at those words.

'I will also need to ask the King about the death of his Third Son. Moreover, there were also rumors that the Fifth Prince had been attacked. That was why the Crown Prince had suddenly disappeared and had appeared in the Capital.'

'The assailant has yet to be caught. That assassin could escape the Crown Prince's clutches. He must be rather strong.' Spencer thought.

Meanwhile, Bianca sent all this information to Edwin.

Edwin was satisfied. He didn't want a 6 Star Expert with a great influence like Spencer Russel investigating him.

If Spencer Russel really used all his sources, there were chances he could figure out it was Edwin.

That would be too dangerous. It was better to keep this piece under his control through Bianca and Sophie.

The next day, Sophie met up with her father when the family gathered for breakfast. She still remained very cold to her father as she didn't even greet him and picked up her plate before returning to her room.

"Why is my pearl angry at me?" Spencer was confused and asked Bianca.

Bianca shrugged in response and replied, "Maybe it's because you didn't contact her while you were gone."

"I couldn't use a communication device over there. Well, I could only use them rarely, and I used them to talk to you, dear. I did try to contact Sophie, but she was mostly busy at those moments." Spencer explained his reasons.

"Sophie won't understand those excuses. You need to spend more time with Sophie, husband," Bianca spoke as she served him another piece of white bread.

"Alright."
