Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives-Chapter 1025 : Morning, Sleepyhead!
Villain Ch 1025. Morning, Sleepyhead!
Allen ran a hand through his hair, thinking. The sound of the girls' laughter and chatter from the bathroom echoed through the room. He grinned to himself, feeling a sense of pride. But he also knew he had to face the rest of the day with some semblance of normalcy, and walking into the dining room covered in love bites wasn't exactly going to help with that.
His gaze wandered around the room, searching for inspiration. His eyes landed on the small first aid kit on the dresser, and an idea struck him.
A bandage.
It wouldn't look completely out of place, especially if he wrapped it around his neck like he'd gotten a small injury. It could pass for a strain or a pulled muscle—something that wouldn't raise too many questions. And if anyone asked, he could easily play it off.
"Alright, let's see what we've got," he muttered, opening the first aid kit and rummaging through its contents. He found a roll of bandage tape and a few strips of gauze.
Perfect!
He grabbed the supplies and walked over to the mirror, carefully wrapping the gauze around his neck, covering the most visible hickeys. It wasn't exactly the most comfortable solution, but it would do for now.
He glanced at himself in the mirror again, assessing his handiwork. It covered most of the marks, and with the right shirt, it might actually work. He rifled through his wardrobe, looking for something that would complement his makeshift disguise. A light sweater caught his eye—navy blue, with a slightly higher collar than a regular t-shirt. It was casual enough for lunch.
Allen slipped the sweater over his head, adjusting it so it sat comfortably on his shoulders. He checked himself in the mirror again, turning his head from side to side. The sweater did a good job of hiding the bandage, and the navy blue color made his eyes stand out, giving him a slightly more put-together appearance.
"Not bad," he said to himself, nodding in approval. "That should do the trick."
He grabbed his phone from the bedside table and sent a quick text to Kai, letting him know he'd be down shortly. He figured it was better to give a heads-up so the staff wouldn't be surprised by their somewhat late appearance.
Just as he was about to put his phone down, he heard the bathroom door open, and the girls started filing out, looking fresh and slightly more composed than before. Their hair was damp, and their faces were flushed from the steam, but they looked radiant.
Shea was the first to notice his new look. "Oh, look at you," she said with a teasing grin, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Trying to hide the evidence, are we?"

Allen chuckled, turning to face her. "Just trying to avoid an interrogation at the lunch table," he replied, raising an eyebrow. "Emma already triggered the smoke alarm to get me out of bed. I don't need to give her any more reasons to mess with me."
Vivian walked up to him, gently tugging at the edge of the bandage. "Aww, you went with the bandage idea," she said, her voice soft with a hint of admiration. "Clever. Makes you look a bit rugged, too."
Zoe nodded in agreement. "Yeah, like you've been through some kind of wild adventure," she added with a wink. "Which, to be fair, you have."
Allen rolled his eyes playfully. "You're not helping," he said, but there was no real annoyance in his tone. He was too amused by their reactions, too caught up in the light-hearted banter that seemed to flow so naturally between them.
Alice leaned in, sniffing the air around him. "At least you don't smell like last night anymore," she teased, her nose crinkling. "We can't have you walking downstairs reeking of—"
"Okay, okay, enough," Allen cut her off, laughing. "Let's just get downstairs before Emma comes back up here with another scheme to drag us out of bed."
The girls all nodded, gathering their things and making their way toward the door. After spraying a bit of cologne on himself, Allen followed them. He wasn't sure what to expect downstairs, but he knew one thing for sure, with this group, it was bound to be interesting.
Once they made their way down the hallway, Allen could hear the distant clatter of dishes and the low hum of conversation from the dining room below. He could smell the freshly cooked food. It made his stomach rumble in anticipation.
Allen spotted Emma and Azura already seated at the dining table, both of them chatting quietly. Azura looked up as they approached, her eyes narrowing slightly when she saw the girls trailing behind him. She had a small, forced smile on her lips, but Allen could sense a flicker of something else in her gaze—something like jealousy.
It was subtle, almost imperceptible, but he knew her well enough to catch it.
"Morning, sleepyhead," Emma called out, her voice filled with playful sarcasm. "Or should I say afternoon?"
Allen smirked, sliding into a chair across from her. "Afternoon," he corrected.
Kai, who had been setting the table with an assortment of dishes, looked up and gave Allen a polite nod. "Good afternoon, sir," he said. "I've prepared a meal with plenty of protein to help with any muscle soreness. I also made some fresh juice with extra vitamins. I figured you might need it."
Allen chuckled, catching the amused glances exchanged between the girls. "Thanks, Kai," he said, a hint of gratitude in his voice. "You always know exactly what I need."
Kai gave a small, knowing smile. "It's my job, sir," he replied, his tone respectful but warm. He placed a pitcher of juice on the table, the vibrant orange liquid glistening in the sunlight. "Carrot and ginger with a touch of lemon," he explained. "Good for revitalizing the body after a… strenuous night."
Allen raised an eyebrow, a grin tugging at the corners of his lips. "You're too good to us, Kai," he said. "Really."
