The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 435. The Prince and The Abyss IV

Shortly, after those words left my mouth, another black aura appeared in the room.

"Sorry for making you guys wait," said Lilieth with a huff as she walked towards her seat. She looked tired.

"It's fine. We also just finished talking," replied Lord Damon casually. He returned to his original appearance.

"How's the meeting? What is Letos doing?" I asked as soon as she sat down as I couldn't contain my curiosity anymore. It was about my nemesis after all.

Without an answer, she clapped twice and the maids immediately served our food. Something similar with mixed spaghetti and gnocchi with black sauce. I didn't know what it was and didn't want to know as long as it was edible, tasted good, and wasn't made from humans.

Even with the fragrant smell of the food, none of us touched our food. Instead, we continue our conversation.

"Didn't Maria tell you?" she asked.

"But she only said the important point. That Letos is capturing a lot of succubi and making them his sex slaves," I said.

"As you have heard from her, we are investigating this. I also have asked my trusted succubi to take other succubi to the capital. Especially the ones who don't like him," she said. Her eyes glinted in rage.

"Isn't that the same as ten years ago?" Lord Damon said. Which meant Letos has done this before.

"Yes. The difference is, this time he caught more than before. He arrested any succubus who made any mistake or had indications of betraying him without clear evidence," she explained.

"Does this have something to do with his first wife's death or because he wants to gather his powers?" I guessed.

"I guess both of them. He's been holding the grudge for a long time," she replied.

"So what's your plan?" I asked.

She gritted her teeth and clenched her hands. Her eyes were on the food in front of her, but I could tell her mind was filled with anger.

"They are my kind. I have to help them..." she muttered.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself, she spoke again.

"So I decided to meet him. I also ordered my succubi to evacuate their friends and relatives from Lust's capital. I have to suppress this as much as possible. Who knows what he is doing behind that closed door? He could starve them to death. Just like what his mother did to him."

Lord Damon exhaled in annoyance.

"You will meet him again?" He repeated. His tone and expression showed his displeasure clearly.

"Why don't you ask Letos to release them?" I suggested it to Lord Damon before Lilieth made a word.

Rather than Lord Damon, it was Lilieth who answered me.

"Even if your father is a king, the Lust demonkind is under Letos' authority. Only two things that can make Letos release them. Evidence that they are innocent or evidence that Letos did it to overthrow the king. Your father can't grant unreasonable forgiveness. So until we can find the evidence, I have no other choice but this," she explained.

I knew that this world rule was more similar to the animal kingdom rule. And the types of demons were the same as the types of animals. But I didn't expect even Lord Damon and Lilieth to still have to follow these basic rules. Especially when it came to power between demon lords.

"But what if he's after you from the start. You guys killed his first wife. I'm sure this is his way of getting revenge," I warned him.

"That's why I asked him to meet me at the press conference. And it will be broadcast live," she reassured.

"Also, I have another guess. He will probably use those succubi as hostages," she added.

"In other words, he is planning to ambush you," I simplified her explanation. That was bad news, but why did she say it like nothing?

"That's the worst possibility. But if he does it live, his treason is clear. Your father can announce his betrayal and we can attack him openly." Her wicked smile was on her face as if she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

"Then you can take over his throne," Lord Damon added. Just like Lilieth, an evil smirk was on his face.

"That is the worst possibility and the best opportunity for us," he added. Previously he couldn't do that since Lilieth didn't qualify as the lust demon kind ruler.

After Erebus' death, Letos had no other choice but to join Lord Damon. But after what he endured, it didn't mean he joined that easily, especially after he saw Lilieth. He announced two main rules of the Lust Demon kind. First, the lust demon leader must not be under another demon contract. And second, it has to be an incubus, not a succubus. Since a prolonged war was not a good thing for Lord Damon who had just reclaimed his throne, he had no other choice but to agree.

"It's the same by putting yourself as bait." Traces of worries were evident in the tone of my voice.

"Don't worry I can handle this," she assured.

I turned to Lord Damon.

"Don't you want to say something about this?" Somehow I could understand Lilieth's previous worry when I decided to train at the Abyss.

"She's just doing her job as the queen, Damian," he replied.

"I know you two have lived together for over 1000 years and trust each other, but isn't that the same as what Letos did before?" I clarified my concern.

"It's similar but not the same," answered Lilieth.

Which was continued by Lord Damon.

"Even though both of them act as bait, his late wife has two endings. If she managed to bring an army into the human world, she would become his heroine. But if she failed, Letos had to execute her before we read her mind. And it ended with the second one."
