The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 451. Lust Demon's Capital, Lecheri V

"Believe me, Your Majesty. I-I don't know her." He bent his head down in regret and started his act.

"Really?" I scoffed in disbelief.

Upon this rare incident, the journalists and reporters did not hesitate to approach the stage for this exclusive story. The cameras were on us. Flash of light kept coming. I knew they had a lot of questions in their heads, yet they couldn't say any of them. Besides, our tension was clear on our faces.

Feeling cornered, he was down on his knees.

"I swear with my life, Your Majesty. I didn't know her! That woman also wanted to kill me!" he begged.

I knew he couldn't possibly admit it in public. But that 'My Lord' thing had put him at a disadvantage.

Even with an agreement a thousand years ago, with this incident, I could order Lilieth to take over the Lust demonkind and break the deal. Even I had a reason to kill him.

Besides, this incident had hurt his reputation badly, at least the public could judge him.

"Last time, Your wife tried to break through the border. Now another succubus is calling you 'My Lord'. Tell me, how can I trust you, Letos?" I asked in a cold voice. My eyes looked at him menacingly.

Without hesitation, I pointed my hand at him. My black lances appeared surrounding him. Even if it was beyond our plans, I wouldn't hesitate to kill him if I had the chance.

"I'm innocent, Your Majesty. Someone has tried to frame me. But I have nothing to prove myself," he pleaded with a sob. Yet his calmness gave me an unsettled feeling. I knew he was up to something, but what?

I moved one of my lances in front of his face.

"Then shall I use your methods? Should we arrest you and use your methods to prove your innocence?" I threatened.

He turned to me and gave me a pleading look before he looked down again.

"I won't disobey your orders, Your Majesty," he said resignedly.

His reaction made me even more sure he was up to something. A backup plan if his first plan was messed up.

Unfortunately, I was right. A second later one of his wives brought a masked high incubus in front of us. Based on his status, I knew he was Letos' assistant.

"Your Majesty! Your Highness! We caught a suspicious incubus. He tried to escape after that woman died!" She slammed that high incubus in front of us roughly.

"He has admitted he is the human world's great demon. Your Majesty, I think he and the succubus have tried to frame my husband," she added.

This news made the reporters even more excited to take the photos. Their murmurs grew louder. The flashlights rained down on us more and more.

I quickly caught his plan.

'I see, so the goal is the human world and clear his name.' And the human world's great demon was a perfect scapegoat for him.

I was surprised that the demon world knew my name and the fact that he had other backup plans. But I couldn't expect any less from a demon lord who has managed to kill me and escaped from Lord Damon's grasp many times.

Without further ado, Lilieth used her Telekinesis to remove his mask.

The mask fell to the floor, revealing his handsome face. Strangely, the Incubus looked calm, too calm. All he did was lower his head and stare blankly at the floor. He was like a sacrificed lamb in a slaughterhouse.

"Isn't that your assistant? I saw him when you killed your first wife last time," said Lilieth. Again, she said it straight to the point.

Letos made another shocking face upon it.

"It is... Your Highness. B-But... I never ordered him to the human world. I also didn't know he was the human world's great demon." His eyes stared at his assistant in disbelief as if the assistant had just betrayed him.

Since he wanted to make 'The human world's great demon' his scapegoat, I would give it to him. I would end the name of the great demon here.

"What is this great demon thing? Did you send your subordinate without my permission?"

He shook his head from side to side in a fake panic.

"No, Your Majesty. I don't dare to do it."

"Really? Let's see about that," I said coldly. Since I didn't want to waste my energy on the interrogating act, I decided to go straight reading his mind. After all, with my status, I could read a high Incubus' mind like him easily.

But just when I was about to touch his head, that incubus' body shook violently.

"Look out, Your Majesty!" Letos shouted. Like a hero, he stood up and turned around, pretending to protect us from harm.

With just that simple act, Lilieth and I immediately realized that he was trying to fix his image and reputation in public, pretending that what his wife said was true. That someone was trying to frame him while his intention to protect me was pure.

"Stay where you are," I said coldly. I moved my lances in front of Letos, keeping him in position, preventing him from taking advantage of this plan. Whatever that was.

At the same time, Lilieth used her Shadow Barrier on that Incubus.

As the transparent dome covered the incubus' body, he exploded. Although the explosion destroyed his body into ashes instantly, the impact didn't hurt the others.

Once the explosion settled down, we could see a letter in the pile of his ashes. I quickly realized it was Letos' other plan.

Lilieth canceled her barrier and pointed to the letter with her gaze, ordering the guards to take it.

"Your Majesty." The guard handed the letter to me without checking it.

A guess immediately crossed my head, even before I read the first letter. Still, I had to read it.

A long breath came out of my mouth since what I was thinking was right, again. It was irritating me a lot since I couldn't prevent it at all, except following his plan. The only evidence we have was how the succubus called him My Lord. And it was not powerful enough to execute him.
