Shadow Slave

Chapter 1700

«Gossiping about me, huh? How exciting!»

Pretending to be oblivious, Sunny looked at Nephis and Effie with a little bit of masterfully performed confusion.

Nephis spared him a short glance, then shrugged.

«The Lord of Shadows… he is just as the rumors say. Immensely strong, more than a little bit sinister, and highly eccentric.»

Effie chuckled.

«Well, anyone who chooses to live in a Death Zone has to be a lunatic. Still, to be called immensely strong by you… Princess… I am at a loss for words. Is there really such a monster in the world?»

Sunny blinked.

«Hey!»

What did she mean, highly eccentric? He was the picture of perfect mental health!

Well… maybe not…

Still, Sunny was a little hurt.

Nephis, meanwhile, smiled faintly.

«At the same time, he is nothing like what the rumors say. He is surprisingly considerate despite his tyrannical strength, kind despite wanting to appear sinister, and very shrewd despite his eccentricity.»

Effie blinked, then briefly glanced at Sunny with a strange expression.

«Princess… well… why are you smiling that way? in front of your… actually, never mind!»

Nephis raised an eyebrow.

«Oh? Was I smiling? I didn't mean to.»

Sunny took a sip of wine.

«No, no! Smile more!»

Why was Effie raining on his parade? What an insufferable woman!

The insufferable woman in question, meanwhile, grinned.

«That's fine and all. But what does he look like? Is he handsome? I bet that even if he is, he can't be as handsome as Master Sunless.»

Sunny raised an eyebrow.
