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

"Phew, I survived."

Faced with the five women's aggressive gazes, Capa used all his skills.

"Beta, you haven't forgotten who helped you defeat Lord Shadow, have you?"

The lovestruck fairy princess instantly deflated and silently retreated.

Next up is the white-scaled dragon with its massive tail swaying; this one is easy to deal with too.

"How's your realm stabilizing? Wouldn't it be better to fulfill our agreement sooner rather than later?"

On the surface, it was about the agreement between Bai Lin and Gray, but in reality, the pink-haired succubus wanted Bai Lin to remember who she owed it all to.

Bai Lin stepped aside to watch the show. She was only a little familiar with Xita and wasn't really able to participate in this farce.

Kappa's strategy was to deal with the easy ones first, and then slowly tackle the remaining two difficult ones.

The last one who was easy to deal with was Gamma. Capa casually said, "Let me go, and I'll whisper sweet nothings in your ear."

Gamma retreated, full of anticipation.

The remaining two troublesome guys...

Delta, a blonde, mature vampire, and Sita, a taciturn demon girl.

She hadn't really helped these two, and they were both experienced, so she couldn't do what she did with Alpha and Gamma.

In fact, Capa had helped Sita hold off the others from disturbing Gray and Sita when the morning meeting ended, but Sita was unaware of this and naturally did not acknowledge the favor.

Kappa wasn't so easily fooled by these two, so he decided to tell the truth.

"Well... I didn't do anything too outrageous. I just used the guise of a massage to spend a few hours with Lord Shadow..."

"How many hours?" Beta and Delta exclaimed in surprise. The expression of the taciturn girl, Sita, did not change, but her unwavering gaze betrayed her inner astonishment.

The three women, who had practical experience, knew how terrifying it was to last several hours. If they had persisted for that long, they would be unable to get out of bed by now. But this pink-haired succubus showed no abnormalities whatsoever, not even a change in her walking posture.

"No... no wonder she's a succubus..."

Beta and Delta suddenly wondered: Why aren't they succubi?

Wait, does that mean Lord Shadow Demon is...?

This must be the legendary "post-coital bliss," right? A man who's been drained will lose interest for a short time, and it seems even Lord Shadow is no exception.

So this pink-haired succubus didn't actually do anything too outrageous? No, spending several hours with Lord Shadow was itself a very outrageous thing!

But Delta couldn't really blame Kappa, even though she envied the pink-haired succubus for being able to do lovemaking with Lord Shadow for so long...

Xita has come to terms with it.

If it's been that long, the chances of getting pregnant are quite high, right?

Since it is an effort to bear an heir for Lord Shadow, Sita will not criticize it, but will instead encourage it.

After all, the matter of having a son of the Demon Prince is very important; everything is for the Demon Clan and for Lord Demon Shadow!

Only the ignorant Alpha, Gamma, and White Scale were puzzled, having no concept of what level a few hours represented; they were truly pathetic.

"That's enough." The eldest sister, Alpha, ended the farce with a single sentence: "Let's get back to the main topic."

Those designated by Lord Shadow are exempt from tonight's operation, but everyone else must participate.

Sita, Capa, and No. 0666 (White Scale), what do you think?

Surprisingly, all three named (the poet Mei Yige) chose to participate in the action.

That's what the three women thought.

Sita: How can I not participate in the mission assigned by Lord Shadow?

Kappa: Lord Shadow is unlikely to choose me tonight, so I'm just idling around anyway.

Bai Lin: This is my first time participating in the Shadow Court's operation, of course I have to go!

As for Gray, our Demon King, Lord Shadow, he returned to his room.

"I'm exhausted. I need to get some sleep. I hope I won't be disturbed again..."

……

As night fell, the Valen family mansion gleamed in the moonlight. This magnificent Western-style building, like a sleeping behemoth, lay quietly in the secluded forest. The mansion's exterior walls were made of black marble, which, when illuminated by the moonlight, shimmered with a mysterious silver sheen.

The mansion's roof is triangular, with sparkling gems set at its apex, like stars in the night sky.

The main gate of the mansion was a massive archway, adorned with a golden family crest, which appeared solemn and imposing in the moonlight. On either side of the gate, two stone lions with wide-open eyes guarded this noble residence.

The nights at a nobleman's mansion are quite different from the nights in a commoner's home.

The people could not have bright lights at night; they could only rely on the bright moonlight. But sometimes the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and this only light disappeared.

The darkness made the night very quiet, and the people had to get up early the next day to do farm work, so they had long developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, which was in stark contrast to the modern society where people often stay up all night.

The lords were of noble status, and things like magic crystal lamps, which were extremely luxurious for their subjects, were not rare items in the eyes of the nobles.

In the Warren family mansion under the cover of night, although there were very few noble family members, the number of servants was astonishingly large.

This mansion was like a miniature kingdom, with each nobleman surrounded by a group of loyal servants whose sole purpose was to fulfill the nobles' most insignificant desires.

Inside the mansion, servants moved about incessantly along the long corridors, their footsteps so light they were almost inaudible, as if afraid to disturb the tranquility of the nobles. Each room had its own servants on duty, whether it was the study, bedroom, or dining room; at any time, they could be seen with their heads bowed, silently performing their tasks.

In the kitchen, chefs and helpers busied themselves preparing exquisite late-night snacks, though the nobles might never actually eat them. Their skills were superb, but within this mansion, their talents were often overlooked, and they were merely seen as cogs in the machine that kept the mansion running.

The butler was the heart of the mansion, directing all the servants and ensuring that every service was flawless. His eyes were sharp, his tone stern, and his demands on the servants were almost harsh, because he knew that even the slightest mistake could incur the wrath of the nobles.

This is a true reflection of the noble mansions of the Olmec Kingdom. The mansions of other lords in other territories are not much different from those of the Valen family, unless they are impoverished nobles.

"Don't be too conspicuous lately, is this the Archbishop's instruction?" Dur Valen looked at a gray-robed messenger with a puzzled expression.

"Ambiguous instructions? Our faction has never been open about anything; we've always operated in the shadows. Is that considered ostentatious?"

Duer Valen sighed softly, "Since it's Lord Cassien's order, there must be a deeper meaning behind it."

He said to the messenger, "Understood. Would you like to stay here for the night?"

The man in the gray robe nodded.

At that moment, a knock on the door and the butler's voice came at the same time.
