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

Late at night.

Gray has already gone to his room to rest, setting an example by following Alpha's suggestion. The other women can't do anything about it, so it seems there won't be a chance for them to serve him tonight.

It's a bit of a shame, but this situation won't last long, so we'll just have to be patient for now.

However, Delta has a problem.

As a vampire who is nocturnal, this time of day is when others are sleeping, but for her it is equivalent to noon for humans. What does she sleep for? Take a nap? Even if she could fall asleep, she would have to wake up within an hour, and there is still a lot of time left in the night.

Vampires have different senses than humans. They are energetic in the dark of night, but during the day, they are affected by light and become extremely sleepy even if they are not directly exposed to it.

(Wait, isn't this exactly what I am? Oh, I'm a goblin, never mind then.)

Everyone else had gone to sleep, and she was all alone with nothing to do.

Before this time, she would go out to find food, but after joining the Shadow Court as one of the Ten Shadow Attendants, she no longer had this habit.

Gray would provide her with blood from time to time, which kept her so full that she didn't need to eat anything else. If she went hungry for a long time, the Shadow Court also had a blood reserve. If all else failed, she could bite a waiter and have some blood drawn.

As mentioned earlier, Iota specially prepared some seasonings so that she, as a vampire, could also taste the deliciousness of human food, but it wasn't very filling; at most, meat dishes would have some nutrition.

"How about we go out for a walk?"

Anyway, I'm just idling around, but it's not good for a vampire like myself to wander around human towns.

The blonde, mature vampire suddenly sensed a living presence approaching and became alert, but relaxed immediately after realizing who it was.

A pair of fleshy hands covered Delta's eyes from behind, and a seductive voice rang out.

Guess who I am?

The answer was obvious, Delta couldn't help but retort, "I could tell from your voice, and your signature way of referring to yourself."

Kappa smiled enchantingly and released her hand: "Aren't you one too?"

Delta spread her hands: "I'm used to it, I can't change it. You're the same, right?"

The pink-haired succubus nodded.

So, why did Capa run into Delta here?

Succubi have a shorter sleep schedule than humans, requiring less rest and not much sleep at all. They can maintain their alertness with just a little bit of sex, which made Capa even more courageous in battle, causing Gray to suffer repeated defeats.

This pink-haired succubus is still persistent even after learning that Ge has refused to serve her tonight.

She could accept not having the right to serve the king tonight, but she couldn't accept Grey wasting his precious time instead of having sex with his sisters. How could they deepen their relationship and get to know each other better if he did that?

Besides, these are things that need to be fought for. At first, Lord Shadow was adamant that Aiota didn't want the other sisters to serve him, but now he's changed his mind. Don't forget whose credit this is.

Praise Capa, please.

Thinking this, Kappa ignored Gray's instructions and sneaked back to Gray's room.

Kappa knocked on the door, sensing that if she simply pushed it open, she would be kicked out.

"Who?" Gray's voice came through.

Kappa adopted a seductive voice, trying to intoxicate Grey: "It's me..."

“Kappa,” Gray’s voice came from inside the door, “you can get out now.”

As if struck by lightning, Kapa immediately burst into tears: "Why is Lord Shadow so cold to me?"

Gray had matured somewhat and could tell from the pink-haired succubus's sobs that she was feigning helplessness. Suppressing his pity, he said, "I went a bit too far just now. It wasn't enough to make you 'get out.' Now, don't even think about coming in for the next few days."

Kapa continued to sob, "Lord Shadow, I have no other intentions. I don't want to disobey orders and do anything that will exhaust me. I just want to sleep with you... Can you grant my wish?"

A combination of witty banter and a tearful tone—a perfect combo—but Gray, having learned his lesson, won't be fooled again.

Gray scoffed, "You said you'd behave during the massage last time, and what happened? You've broken your promise. Go back to sleep."

Kappa then tried to harass Gray several times, but Gray countered each move with equal skill, giving Kappa no chance whatsoever.

"Waaaaah... Lord Shadow Demon doesn't want me anymore..."

This tactic also failed, and Capa realized that Gray was determined this time, so he had no choice but to leave dejectedly, returning empty-handed.

Kapa grew angrier the more he thought about it. His own desires were rising, and he couldn't get the Shadow Lord's love. He almost hid in his room and fantasized about doing something wrong to the Shadow Lord.

However, Capa held back. Now that he had already eaten, doing such a thing would only make him feel more lonely and unbearable, so he couldn't do it; otherwise, he would feel even worse tonight.

To suppress her unfulfilled desires, Capa decided to go out and chat with someone, and her target was naturally Delta, a nocturnal creature. She knew that Delta must be awake and perhaps extremely bored.

So Capa approached him on his own initiative; it wasn't a chance encounter.

Delta then asked Capa why he wasn't sleeping and was instead taking a walk and enjoying the breeze: "What's wrong? Can't you sleep?"

Kappa sighed softly and said, "Without smelling Lord Shadow's scent or feeling his warmth, I can't just not sleep, I'm practically lovesick."

Upon hearing this, Delta felt helpless.

Who isn't like that? You're just a little more persistent, a little more proactive, a little less daring, a little bigger-breasted, a little more skilled... what else?

Delta froze.

So, what does she have left that surpasses Kappa's? She completely outclasses him in every way...

No, no, we can't let the enemy's morale rise while our own is diminished.

"Is that so?" Deltapi asked with a forced smile.

Kappa suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, how did you manage to get it? Did you catch them sneaking food while the squad was out, right?"

Delta thought to herself, "You have no right to accuse me of cheating."

Capa could determine whether a creature was virgin by observing its yin and yang energies. Delta was still a healthy novice before they split into six groups, but things were different when they reunited.

After observation, Xita has also done it. Now we are still missing Alpha, Gamma, and White Scale. Other people who are not present will not be considered for the time being.

Kappa didn't mean any mockery; on the contrary, he was pleased with Delta's boldness.

The pink-haired succubus giggled; she actually wanted to bring up something even more explosive.

"What will we do in the future? With one person a day, how long will it take to win Lord Shadow's favor?" This was just Kappa's way of asking questions.

Upon hearing this, Delta sighed, "There's nothing we can do..."

Seeing that Delta also hoped for more opportunities to serve the emperor in bed, Capa immediately revealed his true intentions: "So, why don't the sisters all go together? That way, I can be with Lord Shadow every day... Do you mind?"

Delta was completely bewildered: "Huh?"

Her fairly advanced CPU burned out...
