Chapter 438: The Prince and The Abyss V
The Incubus System Chapter 436. The Prince and The Abyss V
"While I have different endings. If the meeting goes smoothly, then it will end up as a normal meeting. If he tries to catch me and doesn't succeed, it's the same as announcing his own rebellion," Lilieth continued.
While that sounded easy, I knew there were two more possibilities that she didn't tell me.
"What if you got caught?" I knew she could teleport and could open a portal to escape but who knew Letos had another skill that could block those two skills. I was saying this because his assistant did the same thing to me. After all, Letos' level was above the others.
Unfortunately, they replied to my worries with laughter.
"That will never happen, Damian," said Lilieth. Her chuckles between her words.
"Lilieth is my succubus. I can summon her whenever, wherever I want, conscious or not. That's the Demon King's privilege. Also, just like you, I can sense if she is in danger. And there isn't a single skill that can stop it," Lord Damon explained.
But that didn't mean I was relieved by it. Even with the press, my worries kept bothering me. Especially since she went to meet Letos alone.
"Then... What if he intended to kill Lilieth?" I asked about the worst possibility.
"That won't work," said Lord Damon. But instead of chuckling like before, their eyes filled with rage again.
"Why? Hasn't he almost succeeded once?" I asked.
"That will never happen again," said Lilieth. Her body was covered by a dark aura that slowly turned into armor. It was similar to mine. The difference was this armor only covered her vital points, like her breast and waist to half her thigh.
"I was in such a hurry when I made it so it only protects her from instant death," Lord Damon explained. Traces of regret in the tone of her voice.
"It's fine, My Lord. Don't waste your energy. I'm happy enough with this," said Lilieth with a gentle smile.
I had no idea. Behind his arrogant attitude, Lord Damon was not only a caring father but also a good husband.
"Wouldn't it be better if you went with her?" I gave another suggestion to Lord Damon. I hoped someone would accompany her to meet Letos. But the fact that Letos had a level above the others narrowed my choices. Based on the level difference, I was pretty sure there was not even a single demon general that could fight Letos.
"I can't leave the capital. Letos will use this opportunity to attack this place for sure," said Lord Damon.
"I see..." It was Letos after all, so Lord Damon had to be extra careful. My brain immediately looked for another solution. An idea crossed my head.
"When does the meeting take place?" I asked.
"Next week," she replied.
"If I can reach my max level before that day, can I accompany you to that meeting?" Apart from ensuring Lilieth's safety, I had another goal.
A frown of confusion on her forehead.
"I thought you were planning to become a secret agent?"
"I will come as Lord Damon, not as me. Besides, I have never met Letos in person. Isn't this a good opportunity?" In addition, I had the same Demonic Power as Lord Damon so they shouldn't be able to tell the difference between me and Lord Damon.
As for the disguise, I had Camouflage skill now. Even though I couldn't turn into an inanimate object like Foxy, I could turn my face into whoever I wanted. Transforming into Lord Damon was easy for me, especially since we have similar body size and postures.
"I don't think you're ready for that yet," said Lilieth.
This time Lord Damon answered differently.
"That's a good idea. Letos won't have thought there are two Damons. If he tries to attack the capital, I can kill him directly," he said with a smirk.
"As for Damian, they wouldn't dare attack him live," he added.
"Oh, you got it right!" I said in an empathic tone and raised my hand to high five spontaneously. A grin on my face.
But he only looked at my hand and frowned in confusion.
I lowered my hand awkwardly and smiled innocently.
'Okay... Remember this, Ethan. Demons don't understand high five,' I reminded myself.
Yet Lilieth had not said a word about this.
"Stop doubting me. I'm not a kid anymore," I reminded her. A long breath followed it. I realized Lilieth was a little overprotective of me. It was very different from Lord Damon who pushed me to pursue power, even though he also cared about me.
Well, I couldn't put all the blame on Lilieth since I also often show her my spoiled side.
"You are just 19 years old, Damian. You are not a kid for us. But a baby," Lilieth reminded me.
"A baby who can make another baby," I joked and ended it with my chuckle. But that was a fact.
"True," said Lord Damon as if we were a long partner in crime. His smirk on his lips.
"Now, we speak the same language." I almost raised my hand again for a high five but I quickly lowered it. I had to confess even though Lord Damon and my dad had different personalities, he was not a bad dad either. Indeed he was arrogant, but he cared about me and we shared a lot of the same thoughts.
Lilieth clicked her tongue in annoyance. The look in her eyes was typical of a mother's gaze when her kids and her husband worked together to ask for something she didn't want. A short pause followed as Lilieth was deep in thought, considering my idea before she made her decision.
"I'm not sure about this. But since he's with me, I think it's fine."
"Nice." I grinned happily.
"We'll end our conversation here. You'll piss off Lilieth if you keep pushing her. We'll have our dinner first and talk later," Lord Damon ended our conversation.
