It was only in an instant that the banquet hall was transformed into a detention center.

After making the vampires who sympathized with the demons become immersed in the play through the narrative of the affair hero, a demon king who was ruined by sexual desire was added.

The expressions of the traitors, who had been giggling like warriors, instantly turned cold, and the more they ruined the image of the Demon King, the more their anger intensified.

‘It is a play that can be produced because it is neutral and does not belong to either humans or demons.’

The only advantage is that it can be satirized regardless of which camp it is.

However, for the vampires who broke away from neutrality and sided with the demons, it was a trigger button.

It was natural for anyone to get angry if the image of an idol was denigrated.

‘If it becomes known that I wrote the script for the play, Alaina will be furious, right?’

Not only was it limited to the Demon King, but the image of the hero who was the hope of humanity was also denounced.

For the warrior’s partner, the Holy Sword, it was nothing short of humiliating.

In particular, Alaina suffered psychological damage while living with an actual Gaechabun warrior.

This was something that Ryan would have to take with him to his grave.

“What are you doing now!”

“Do you think such atrocities are acceptable at a banquet where everyone is supposed to relieve their fatigue and have fun!”

“Remove it now!”

After the play ended, several vampires were gathered tightly tied up in the very center of the stage.

They were all suspected of sympathizing with the demons.

Traitors who found the content of the play extremely unpleasant and remained silent in response to the insults directed at the Demon King.

Thanks to Lian’s insight, they were able to successfully arrest them, and the organizer, Lord, was looking down at them with a cold gaze.

“Monarch! It’s unfair!”

“What crime have we committed to end up like this!”

“This kind of treatment is harsh for those of us who contributed to the clan!”

“… … Let me ask you just one question. Who do you follow? Is it a burden? Or is it the devil?”

“… … !”

A momentary silence that came at the same time as the question.

By the time there was no immediate answer, the conclusion had already been reached, but there were still some shameless people.

“Of course you are the monarch, right?”

“Yes, that’s right! Is there anyone else we should follow other than the pride of the clan, the Monarch of the clan?”

“From the time he ascended to the position of monarch, I decided to follow him for the rest of my life!”

When one person escaped with impunity, the others also became shameless.

People who can change their minds at any time if given the opportunity.

It was truly the appearance of a petty bat depicted in fairy tales.

“Are you saying that you are now loyal to Jim?”

“Yes! Yes!”

“I wonder if I can say the same thing even if I made a blood contract with Jim.”

“That’s… !”

Blood contract.

It was black magic mainly used by warlocks and the undead, and it was a magic that vampires modified from the soul contract.

It is a magic contract that requires the consent of both parties, and if the content contains lies or malice, all blood in the body will be absorbed by the other party.

Although it was scary, we were able to build absolute trust.

Of course, making a bloody contract with someone you don’t trust was tantamount to a death sentence.

‘Hwiyu! ‘You come out strong.’

As soon as the blood contract came out of the mouth, everyone who had been complaining about the unfairness just now became quiet.

Since each of them was avoiding eye contact and breaking into a cold sweat, it was as if they had revealed that their monarch was not Cardin.

Cardin, unable to contain his disappointment, shook his head and turned his back on them.

“Put them in prison for no time.”

“Yep!”

“Gu, my lord! Please be lenient!”

“It’s so harsh there!”

“I will never communicate with demons again! Please have mercy… !”

However, Cardin’s head did not turn back again and his family took the vampires away.

The sight of him leaving after putting a splendid end to the punishment of traitors was close to that of a defeated king.

***

The next morning.

Lian, who had no choice but to stay overnight due to additional search duties, went to Kadin’s room early in the morning.

The area under his eyes was dark and discolored, so I could tell he was quite tired.

‘Did you say you would help me for no reason? ‘It’s barely over.’

After reporting to Kadin, Lian’s work was over.

Wanting to rest after reporting quickly, he knocked cautiously on Cardin’s door.

Then a loud noise came from beyond the door.

“Me. I’ll go in.”

“Now, wait a moment!”

“I don’t like it.”

Suddenly-!

Lian opens the door and goes inside.

Normally he would have been polite, but now that he wanted to rest, he behaved as he wanted.

Naturally, Cardin protested Lian’s reckless behavior.

“I told you to wait… !”

“I’m sorry, but I have no loyalty to the monarch.”

Cardin clears his throat while unnaturally chuckling, and the maid hurriedly hides behind the curtain.

However, it was not properly hidden as its legs and tail were sticking out from under the curtain.

Rian, who immediately grasped the situation, smiled and tapped the corner of his mouth.

It means something stuck to the corner of the mouth. Cardin later realized that there was dog fur stuck to the corner of his mouth.

“You’re not a woman who got caught sucking dick in secret, so what are you doing?”

“… … The way you speak is extremely vulgar.”

“The monarch was having a happy time while I was working, so I complained.”

“Happy time! Jim was just eating!”

His unusually red lips showed that he had been sucking blood for a long time.

For vampires, blood sucking is food.

It wasn’t a lie, but it ultimately meant that he was satisfying both his appetite and sexual desire by sucking the blood of prisoners.

The corner of Lian’s mouth twitched for a moment, but he didn’t say anything.

He thought that if he expressed his thoughts out loud, the conversation that had nothing to do with work would prolong.

“This is a list of suspects, although not yet confirmed. In addition, people with circumstances of contact with demons were also included.”

“Ah, good job.”

“Please tell those words to your subordinates rather than to me. I just watched from the sidelines and organized the list.”

“That must not have been easy, right?”

“Would it be more difficult than a subordinate who directly pressured the other party and ran around investigating?”

“The hard work of my subordinates is worthy of special recognition.”

Cardin read Rian’s mind from his sour expression.

I figured he wanted to rest quickly, so I decided not to say anything trivial.

“What are the special details?”

“After investigating the captured vampires, it was determined that they were the ones who persistently harassed Rumi. Please torture me hard in prison until I shed bloody tears.”

The vampires who sided with the demons viewed Rumi, who was usually friendly with humans, with disdain.

So, in order to bring the girl down into the abyss, they tormented her in all sorts of ways.

There was a reason for the harassment, but that doesn’t mean it can be forgiven.

“Let’s pay special attention to that part. Instead, the ancient dragon blood you stole from the warehouse… … .”

“This is a commission.”

“I see.”

The reason why Cardin did nothing to Lian despite killing one of his servants and robbing the auction warehouse was simple.

He who could have turned the banquet hall into a scene of slaughter at any moment is restrained and is trying his best to help.

There was nothing more foolish than telling him about revenge from his family without knowing such grace.

Although he may be considered heartless, he had many tasks as the leader of the vampires.

‘I guess this is why everyone said they didn’t want to deal with someone strong outside the standard.’

Cardin, who was also very diplomatic, recalled a conversation he had at a gathering of previously neutral races.

It was not limited to heroes and demon lords, but there were many strong people who did not belong to anything, such as dragons and Lian.

Cardin was feeling it in real time as they talked about never being hated by them.

‘Battle on the rooftop… … . If he had been sincere, he would have cut down my jade body along with my magic spear.’

Cardin suddenly regretted testing Lian because he wanted to gauge his skills.

I feel like I’ve accumulated knowledge that isn’t all that good.

As a result, even though he was the leader representing the tribe, he had to please him.

“You can just go back and rest. Ask the servant to use the best room as it has been reserved. ”

“I will gratefully receive it.”

Afterwards, Rian followed the butler who came to serve as a guide.

Because the butler was a talkative person, Rian’s fatigue was accumulating even more.

At that time, I was ignoring it as much as possible, listening in with one ear and letting it go out of the other.

As I arrived in front of the assigned room, I heard meaningful words from the butler.

“Then, spend some quality time with your wife!”

“Madam?”

It was an unfamiliar word to Rian, who had never even dated a woman, let alone married one.

His only companion was Rumi, and he was too young to call her his wife.

In Rumi’s case, she was sent back due to Alfred’s earnest request.

In the assigned room, there was only one iron sword and luggage.

‘… … ‘My wife is sleeping and I’m sleepy.’

Rian dismissed the butler’s words as bullshit and opened the door.

The moment I stepped through the wide open door, there was a woman with gray hair wearing a maid uniform and a cat headband.

“Owner! Welcome!”

“… … Huh?”

“I was waiting for you to come back!”

A woman adding strange words to the endings.

He gave Rian a puzzled look.

“Woohoo! This is your first time seeing this, so of course you don’t know who it is, right? As for me, Stell… !”

“Sleep well.”

While the woman introduced herself, majestically pushing out her chest, Lian entered the bed placed to her right.

“The owner isn’t curious about who I am?!”

“You’re Stella, right?”

“Eck! How did you know that?”

“Title. You are the only one who calls me owner.”

“Ahang!”

“Anyway, that’s enough now, right? Then I sleep.”

“Huh? Will it end like this? Didn’t you say you like cats? There’s a cat here that needs the owner’s help!”

After becoming able to polymorph, Stella ambitiously cosplayed as a cat maid and beast.

However, even with her like that, Rian was in a state of sleep, sighing softly.

Sexual desire could not overcome the desire to sleep.

“Owner!”
