Invicinble Colorless Butler-Chapter 212 5

Azalia was different from people from the other divine races. She never looked down on any race other than her own like her older brother Azael did. Azalia likes to mingle with various races, including humans. That's why she often comes to places where people gather.

Nine hundred years ago, Azalia met a boy by accident. She met him while she was strolling the capital of the Adrienne Empire and ended up fighting over books with him.

At first, Azalia was only slightly interested in the book. But after Azalia felt the unique power within Ziel's body, she became even more attracted to him and used the book as an excuse. Even so, Azalia felt that Ziel was still weaker than her back then. That day was the first time Azalia had quarreled with a boy her age and ended in a fight to decide on the book's owner.

Azalia was sure she would win easily. But unexpectedly, the result of that battle was her defeat. Azalia was embarrassed by her arrogance, and she felt infected with the nature of the divine race. Therefore she quickly left Ziel to cover her embarrassment.

That day was the first time Azalia had lost to a boy her age and earned sincere praise for her name. She usually gets compliments from people who have particular intentions toward her. Therefore Azalia never felt good about the compliments. But Ziel's words were different, and she could feel Ziel had no ulterior motives for her. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

Since then, Ziel has left a strong impression on Azalia's heart and mind. It wasn't because she fell in love with Ziel, but because Ziel was the first person her age to beat her. What's more, Ziel was weaker than him at that time.

The next day Azalia returned to the capital of the Adrienne Empire and hoped to meet Ziel again and have a rematch. Unfortunately, she never saw him again. Azalia didn't know anything about Ziel except his name, so she didn't know where to look for him in the vast imperial capital.

Azalia couldn't find him with the Cardinal Mirror because she didn't have Ziel's blood. Therefore she looked for him manually. For a whole month, Azalia kept exploring the area of the imperial capital until she finally gave up because she couldn't find Ziel and thought he had left the Adrienne Empire's territory.

But after 900 years, she meets the boy again. Although she forgot his face, she remembered the skill he used against her.

"You are…Ken?" Azalia couldn't believe her eyes. While she observed Ziel's face, Aghares suddenly appeared in front of her and took a protective stance.

"Miss, be careful! That boy is the one we fought in the territory of the Cirlus Kingdom! He is very dangerous!" Aghares said with a tense face.

"You don't have to worry. I know he didn't come here to hurt me. Isn't that right, Ken? It's you, isn't it?" Azalia smiled and retracted her killing intent.

"Of course. I was the one who fought over a book with you in the imperial capital and ended up in a fight to become the owner of the book." Ziel explained the battle that only he and Azalia knew.

<br/>"It really was you!" Azalia smiled sweetly behind her veil. Then she put her silver sword back into her space storage. Although it was not visible on her face, people who heard Azalia's voice could feel that she was in a good mood.

Not only Aghares but Lilith were also taken aback by their conversation. Neither of them thought that the two of them knew each other and looked like old friends even though they had only met once.

"Hmm… why did you keep your sword back? Weren't you going to attack me before?" Ziel asked Azalia. If possible, he didn't want to put up a pointless fight.

"I would gladly fight with you if I wasn't injured. Therefore, I have to hold back for now and wait until I fully recover." Azalia smiled bitterly. She sounded a bit disappointed in her voice.

"I will wait for you until you recover. But for now, I came to this place because I have other business with you. I have some important things I want to ask you. Can I have a little chat with you?" Ziel said honestly about his purpose in coming to meet Azalia.

"Of course. But I'm sorry that my castle is messy because of irresponsible men." Azalia said sarcastically to Ziel.

"Okay. I'm sorry, and I'll take responsibility later." Ziel sighed heavily in response to Azalia's sarcasm.

"I'm just kidding. You don't have to think about it." Azalia chuckled because she was pleased with Ziel's reaction. Then she looked at Aghares, still frozen in shock from their conversation.

"Aghares, please take Fornius inside for treatment. I'm going back to my room to discuss something with an old acquaintance." Azalia gave an order to Aghares. Then she looked back at Ziel.

"Come on, come to my room. We can talk more comfortably and safely there." Azalia turned around and was about to return to her room. But Aghares quickly stopped her once he returned to his senses.

"Wait a minute, miss! You can't bring strangers into your room! What's more, that person was him! It is perilous for you!" Aghares moved quickly and suddenly appeared in front of Azalia to block her.

"I have my thoughts. You don't have to worry. He would have done it long ago if he wanted to hurt me. After all, it's easy for him to beat me in my condition." Azalia tried to calm Aghares down.

"But, miss!" Aghares still couldn't believe Ziel and tried to convince Azalia not to take him inside the castle. But Azalia's face suddenly turned cold from being displeased with his attitude.

"Enough, Aghares. You don't have to talk anymore to convince me. It's my decision, and I know what I'm doing right now." Azalia left the place and no longer cared about Aghares. Ziel and Lilith followed closely behind and ignored Aghares glares at them.

Aghares could only grit his teeth after seeing them disappear into the castle. Then he went to pick up the unconscious Fornius and took him to the treatment room.

Azalia immediately led Ziel and Lilith to her room. When Ziel reached the place, he looked around the room. Ziel dared to do that, unlike Aghares and Fornius. It wasn't because he was interested in the room's interior, but because he saw a lot of saint rank to god rank artifacts in that place.

"Is this the room of someone from the divine race? I think this room looks feminine and more like a girl's room in general." Ziel gave his honest opinion while keep looking around the room.

"Can you stop looking around my room? Here is a lot of my stuff! After all, what's wrong if I decorate this room to be more feminine? Even though I'm from the divine race, I'm also a girl! Have you forgotten!?" Azalia's face turned red from being embarrassed by Ziel's words.

On the other hand, Lilith pouted at their exchange. She felt that both of them had forgotten her existence. Lilith couldn't help but stare at the closeness between Ziel and Azalia. She did not dare to enter into their conversation.

"I understand. I didn't expect you to live in a place like this. Does everyone from the divine race like to stay in the floating castle and watch the other races from a high position?" Ziel asked Azalia. He felt the same atmosphere as Azael's floating castle when he entered the place.

"Have you ever come to another floating castle of our race?" Azalia frowned when she heard Ziel's words. The divine race only had two floating castles. One belonged to his brother, and the other was the one she currently lives in. When Ziel told her about another floating castle, she was sure it was his brother's residence.

"I have, and I fought with the owner." Ziel answered honestly and didn't feel suspicious about Azalia's question.

"Have you ever fought with my brother Azael?" Azalia was surprised by Ziel's answer. She still didn't know that the boy in front of her was the one who beat his older brother. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

"You are the younger brother of Azael?" This time, Ziel frowned. He didn't expect that Azalia was the sister of the fallen god-king. Although their faces and names are similar, Ziel never thought that the two people were related by blood because they had different characters.

Lilith was also shocked after hearing Azael's name. She knew the name from stories of her dead parents but had never met him in person. Azael was the strongest person of the divine race and was their king. But unfortunately, he was defeated by a hero who was summoned from another world. Then Lilith connected the story with all the information she knew about Ziel, and she trembled when she saw him. Lilith could already guess who defeated Azael at that time.

"I am her younger sister. Don't tell me you're the one who killed my brother?" Azalia asked coldly, and she glared at Ziel. She released a killing intent that was far greater than before.

"I did beat him, but I didn't kill him." Ziel replied calmly under the pressure of Azalia's killing intent. Lilith became tense and didn't know what to do at this point. One was her master, and the other was the Princess of her race. She didn't know which side to take, but she knew that she would be in immense pain from the punishment of the master and servant contract if she betrayed Ziel.

"What do you mean?" Azalia was confused by Ziel's words. Even so, she didn't lower the intensity of her killing intent. Even though Ziel was unaffected, Lilith felt pressured by it.

Ziel moved in front of Lilith to relieve the pressure she was feeling. Lilith let out a sigh of relief after seeing the boy in front of her. It wasn't because the pressure she was feeling had disappeared, but because Ziel hadn't forgotten about her since his conversation with Azalia.

"I am one of the heroes from another world summoned in the Adrienne Empire..." Ziel started to tell the chronology from when he was summoned to the Clorius continent until he had the final battle with Azael. He told Azalia everything in the fight, including their conversation and the curse that Azael gave to Ziel using his life force.

Azalia was shocked after hearing Ziel's explanation, and she believed Ziel wasn't lying to her right now because she could feel it. She sighed and withdrew her killing intent.

"I apologize. I got carried away by my emotions. Whatever he has done in those days, he is still my brother. I can't help but get angry after thinking you killed him." Azalia smiled apologetically to Ziel.

"You don't need to apologize. I think it's natural for you to be angry at the person who killed your brother." Ziel didn't think about Azalia's killing intent because he would have done the same thing if he still had emotions like before.

"Thank you. But there is one thing that bothers me about your story." Azalia suddenly spoke seriously because there was still something she didn't understand in Ziel's story. She believed in Ziel, but she felt something odd in his explanation.

"What's that?" Ziel looked into Azalia's eyes after hearing her serious tone. He didn't know why the atmosphere around her had suddenly changed.

"In your story, you said my brother used his remaining divine power and life force to curse you, right?" Azalia repeated what Ziel had told her.

"Yes. If it weren't for that curse, I wouldn't be like this." Ziel sighed heavily when he recalled Azael's curse.

"You are indeed much colder than when we first met. Eh, that's not what I wanted to say!" Azalia subconsciously answered Ziel's words and shifted the topic she wanted to talk about. But quickly, her face turned serious again.

"What do you want to say?" Ziel saw the seriousness in Azalia's eyes and started wondering what important thing she wanted to say.

"If you two were fighting with the intent of killing each other from the start, why would my brother use his life force to curse you instead of blowing himself up to take you to death with him? Isn't this weird?" Azalia narrowed her eyes at Ziel. She conveyed her suspicions to the story but not to Ziel but to Azael's actions. Azalia's question made Ziel tremble.
