Second Chance: Raising A Yandere Demon Lord - Chapter 31

Ares Birstone was the current Crown Prince, and although he was not the oldest, the accomplishments made by him surpassed the ones made by those older than him.

When it came to socialising and convincing others, he was quite skilled as well. From all aspects, he appeared to be perfect one for the Crown Prince at least for now.

As for Jeanette, she was the younger sister to Ares, and both of them were born from the same mother. Despite of that, two of them did not have a close relationship probably due to the differences in their personality.

Among all of the princesses, Jeanette was the most treasured one. Not only was she gifted with the beauty from her mother who was known for her appearance back in the days she was taken to quite talented.

In spite of her young age, she had many suitors after her. However, the King still did not decide for a fianc candidate for her, most likely because he is waiting for a better catch.

Staring at both of them seated before her, a bored expression crossed her eyes, and immediately erasing that, she placed a wide smile upon her face.

“Crown Prince Ares, Princess Jeanette,” Odette enunciated followed by Richard before they bowed at the figures before them.

The thirteen years old boy looked up from his book after hearing the voice, and as his gaze fell onto Odette, a wide smile broke into his face. At the sight of that, Odette did not find herself being unfazed.

Apparently, Ares was one of those crazy people who dared to chase after her and take her to be his wife. Although the purpose behind it was not as pure as love, she applauded him for his courage to do so.

Taking in Odette’s position in the ducal household, Ares was determined to take her in as his wife and even had the King order about it. However, getting married to Ares did not appeal to her, and with a single word from her father, this matter was disregarded by the King.

Although it was strange to have him go after her, she understood where the courage came from. Being a man full of himself, Ares believed that he would be able to take in the position of the next King, and having someone as powerful as her would help him ascend the throne faster.

Getting married did not interest Odette. In her last life, she remained lone, and she desired to do the same in this life of hers as well. Then again, she was not that determined to lead such a life; she might meet up with someone intriguing, who might lead to her decisions changing.

“Odette, finally you are here. I have gotten some interesting things yesterday, and I am really excited to show them to you. You will be loving them!” Ares enthusiastically spoke out.

“I doubt that,” Odette answered without caring for his feelings.

Maybe the seven year old Odette in her last life was impressed by whatever he had to show her, but the current her did not care about it. She took Ares to be an annoying bug she had to get rid of.

The instant the idea of getting rid of him came in her mind, her eyes brightened up. It would be too boring if she took care of him so fast. Probably she should put him to some use before finishing him up.

“Don’t say that, Odette. I am sure that you will be fond of it. Jeanette insisted for me to give it to her when she saw it, but I have saved it for you,” he voiced out.

Odette’s eyes fell on Jeanette, who placed her tea cup down. The eight year old girl stared at Odette with visible hatred in her eyes, and it was not difficult for Odette to guess the reason behind it.

The hatred generated from the envy Jeanette held towards her. Odette found it funny how Jeanette was jealous of her when she most definitely does not possess the courage to face all that Odette did.

Getting up from his chair, Ares made his way towards Odette, and standing before her, he extended his hand towards her for her to hold it.

Having no intention to do that, Odette voiced out, “I don’t like holding other’s hand.”
