The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

Everyone present noticed the change in Alpha's expression, and the same question arose in their minds.

What's written on that card...?

Actions speak louder than words; practice makes perfect.

Delta, the blonde vampire closest to Alpha, fully embodied the essence of "borrowing" by snatching the card while Alpha was deep in thought and loudly reading its contents aloud.

Delta raised an eyebrow as he read halfway through.

No, are we going to go this far?

The pressure was on Alpha, as the leader of the Shadow Court was now under the intense gaze of two people—an elf, a vampire, a demon, and a succubus—making her feel even more pressured.

Alpha wants to win this game and gain control, but if it refuses to answer "truth" right from the start and loses a coin, its chances of winning are extremely slim.

By abandoning the option of refusing to answer, Alpha must confront the question and respond.

Normally, Alpha would definitely speak the truth without hesitation. After all, apart from the silly and cute dog Zeta, the ten Shadow Attendants all knew each other's feelings for Lord Shadow, so there was nothing wrong with saying it.

But Lord Shadow is here! Should I confess my feelings to Lord Shadow in front of him?

This is a bit...

Gray cast a curious glance his way, genuinely wondering if his first servant harbored impure thoughts about him, like some white elf or pink succubus.

Alpha's wavering was clearly visible, and Gray thought to himself, "This is bad."

Alpha is currently hesitating between telling the truth and being a little arrogant.

Telling the truth would be tantamount to confessing your feelings to Lord Shadow, and lying out of shyness could ruin your future.

Upon learning that Kappa and Lord Shadow had developed a relationship far more intimate than that between a superior and subordinate, Alpha's eyes lost their luster, and a rebellious thought arose within him.

If Eota can occupy the position of fiancée and Kappa can also successfully run away, then why can't she pull the Shadow Lord down from the altar, and slightly climb up and desecrate him?

This world might just belong to Alfa!

To outright deny having romantic feelings for Lord Demon Shadow is essentially to condemn one's chances of successfully refuting the idea.

Answering truthfully, the question you fear is the same as asking "Can we still be friends after a failed confession?"

Alpha was unaware of how Kappa had subdued (or rather, manipulated) Lord Shadow, and was terrified by Gray's response after his affirmative reply.

A simple "yes" or "no" question, a choice between two options, has caused Alpha such a dilemma.

The pressure from everyone's gaze grew heavier, making it difficult for Alpha to breathe.

She gritted her teeth and decided to just give up.

I would rather die than let the traitors dare to fight.

(Your Majesty, I would rather die than fight!)

Alpha turned to face Gray, her pretty face turning bright red.

Having gained more experience, Gray was no longer so clueless and instantly knew how Alpha would respond.

Gray: Spicy! Here we go again...

"Yes!" Alpha's voice revealed the leader's embarrassment at this moment, a response that came on impulsively without thinking: "Alpha, I have romantic feelings for Lord Shadow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Alpha regretted it and lowered his head to secretly observe Gray's reaction.

Let's bury him in a hole...

Suddenly, the entire room fell silent, except for a certain pink-haired succubus who revealed a wicked smile.

Laila:! Σ(?д?|||)ノノ!

Gray was momentarily moved by Alpha's frank statement, but no longer felt much excitement.

It's fair to say that I've received too many confessions of love, just like how my reaction to receiving a love letter for the first time is different from my reaction to receiving many love letters already.

Gray paused for a moment: "Do I need to give a response?"

Alpha looked up and quickly waved his hand: "No... let's talk about it after the game is over..."

Gray nodded: "Then, the game continues, Kappa, it's your turn."

Alpha: 0→1.

The pink-haired succubus looked somewhat disappointed. She felt the ending was a bit too hasty; what happened? Why was there so much talk but so little action? Shouldn't Lord Shadow have agreed immediately? Could it be that Lord Shadow is no longer the boy he once was and has developed resistance?

According to Kappa's plan, she intended to bring the remaining three into the family today. If Leila had the same idea, she would welcome her. However, things did not seem to go as smoothly as she had hoped.

It's okay, it's not a big problem.

The pink-haired succubus is very confident, or rather, she is determined to have Lord Shadow and his ten little wives. She is currently at 3/10, and will continue to proceed step by step and steadily. She believes that it will not be long before she reaches 10/10, and maybe even 11/10, 12/10 or something.

It is worth looking forward to.

Kappa didn't care about the result of her dice roll. She didn't need to gain anything from this game anymore. It was better to give the chance of victory to her sisters as much as possible. She hoped that Beta, who had already successfully sneaked out, would be more sensible.

6.

Such an auspicious number!

Kappa remembered that it was six steps from the starting point... something like a dare!

The pink-haired succubus's beauty instantly lit up, because compared to "Truth or Dare," "Truth or Dare" was the real heavyweight.

She licked her lips, her desire stirring.

Sure enough, the pink and white character piece landed on the "Great Adventure" square.

Seeing the ill intent in Kappa's beautiful eyes, Gray couldn't help but shudder.

I have a bad feeling...

"My turn, draw a card!" The pink-haired succubus drew a "Great Adventure" card with a coquettish smile.

Upon seeing the words on the card, the pink-haired succubus's expression instantly became flamboyant.

Unlike Alpha's hesitant manner, Kappa readily displayed the text on the card and read it aloud.

"Completion Reward: Receive one or two gold coins."

Refusal of punishment: None.

Choose a member of the opposite sex and either kiss them or have sex with them. Choosing the former earns you one gold coin, while choosing the latter earns you two gold coins. Regardless of your choice, the person of the opposite sex receives one gold coin.

Gray: "Huh?"

Seeing the pink-haired succubus about to pounce, Gray couldn't help but silently take a step back.

Those present also expressed strong protest against the content of this "adventure".

"Isn't this a bit too much?" the blonde, mature vampire protested, but what she really thought was...

(Envious...) Next up is me! Lord Demon Shadow, please bless me and let me roll a six and draw this card!

The pink-haired succubus grinned and said, "Everyone, please follow the rules of the game! I was lucky enough to draw a pretty good card, but there's something even more amazing coming up!"
