The Incubus System

"I agree with that. You have to be honest with her right away," said Celia. She leaned over to me and looked at me with a serious gaze.

"So when are you going to do it?" she asked again, completely ignoring her food.

"Today," I said.

"That fast?" she said in surprise.

"Yeah. She texted me to visit her for lunch. I think she saw us yesterday. She also asked how I got to know Ethan." Then I paused since that sounded wrong.

"I mean, how did Damian get to know Ethan." I corrected my words.

"I just hope her guard isn't there." Well, although Pearl said he had returned to his kingdom, still, I had to be careful of all possibilities. Like a spy camera or something. Moreover, I wanted to expose my identity to her.

"She is a princess. She must have something to protect herself," guessed Celia.

My thoughts went back to Damian's first meeting with Mia or how I saved her from those demons to be precise.

"I don't think so. I think during her exile period she didn't have any privileges. But that might change after all these demon attacks," I said. I also wasn't sure about this, especially after I discovered how Mrs Clea's house was. There could be some hidden devices that I didn't know about before.

"Really?" she said in disbelief.

I nodded.

"Otherwise how could those rat demons almost **** and eat her three weeks ago?" I reminded her.

"Her kingdom is so irresponsible," Celia grumbled unhappily.

As Celia grumbled, I fell silent upon what I said earlier. But my hand still moved to bring my pancakes into my mouth. It was so tasty that I couldn't stop eating it.

'Three weeks?' Then I just remembered something. The reason why Mia invited me to her house. It was her mating period! It should be around this time and she needed me to settle it. That was why she didn't go to work even though it was on weekdays.

"I bet there must be a political scheme behind this!" Her grumble returned my attention to Celia. She shifted her gaze to me again and looked at me with a serious gaze.

"What if all of this is her sister's doing. She wants to get rid of Ms Mia so no one can overthrow her," she made a wild guess. Her fork poked at her pancakes as if she was trying to kill those poor things.

I shook my head from side to side with a flat expression.

"You watch too much drama, Celia," I said before I popped the last piece of pancake into my mouth. I had confirmed this was her kingdom's rule and her sister also went through the same thing before she became queen.

Celia looked dissatisfied over her wrong guess and my answer. She clicked her tongue in displeasure.

"Tch! But I'm sure there must be something behind all this! If Ms Mia isn't careful, her sister might get rid of her," she retorted confidently. Again, her fork pierced her innocent pancakes.

I took a deep breath.

"What I know, I can help you get rid of your pancakes. Stop torturing them," I said. My hand extended my fork, trying to steal half her pancake.

But Celia blocked me with her knife. Her eyes stared menacingly at me as if she was ready to split me in two.

"I won't let anyone touch my pancakes. Even if it's you, brother." She sounded like a warrior in an action drama movie.

And I responded with the same look.

"You've tortured them enough. I just want to free them from their suffering."

She scoffed.

"I'm their maker. It's up to me for whatever I do to them. You have no right over them."

"You are suitable as a villain character, Celia." Yuffy's voice broke our useless scene.

We turned to Yuffy, who was still busy managing her Specters, who were flying in all directions.

"Thank you. It only applies to my brother," answered Celia with a sweet smile.

"That's unfair!" I complained.

Instead, Celia answered me with an annoying smile.

I decided to change my tactics.

"So... you don't want to give it to me?" I gave her puppy-like eyes.

Slowly, her smile turned into a giggle.

"There's an extra in the kitchen." Well, it always worked on her.

"You should say it earlier." Without wasting time, I stood up, walked to the kitchen to take a pancake and drizzled it in maple syrup.

I came back to the table and was about to sit down, but Luna called me.

"Your Highness, I think you should see this," she said without taking her eyes off the TV. Her hand turned up the TV volume so we could hear it more clearly.

"What is it?" Curiously, I moved to her, decided to take my food with me and left the knife on the table.

As I plopped myself on the sofa, my eyes fell on the screen. It was another highlight news and Elenna was being interviewed by her own presenter.

"The Ravenetwork will help the demon hunters and try to find out about the great demon as best we can. We hope what we do can help everyone and help the demon hunters to catch the great demon faster. That is our dedication as humans, as reporters. But we will ensure that we will do everything according to the procedures," she said with a smile. While all of us cringed since we already knew what she wanted, more legit news for her company.

"So smooth..." Celia's voice suddenly came from my side. Her eyes were still fixed on the screen. She shook her head from side to side slightly.

"She sounds like a hero," Foxy muttered.

"But I know she isn't," she added.

"100% sugar-coated," scoffed Luna.

"I agree. Her words are sweeter than sugar. I think I will get diabetes after this," said Yuffy in a mocking tone.

When I simply scoffed and smirked evilly. My eyes fell on Elenna who smiled sweetly and said everything she would do to 'help the demon hunters'.

"You heard her, right? She wants to help the demon hunter. And we should give her what she wants."

They turned to me in excitement.

"So tonight?" they asked.

"Yup. We'll give her nice news." My evil smirk widened.
