The Incubus System Chapter 582. We Are In The Same Shoes

Syntyche's PoV

"Fine. "He gulped. "I'm not happy, My Queen." He turned to her and looked at her with a bitter gaze. "You already know I'm only doing this so you can leave my family alone." A short pause followed. "I even let you embarrass me with all my pathetic pose photos and make me your entertainment..." he continued in a lower voice.

"Do you want freedom?" she asked in a gentle voice.

For some reason, after she was bound by Damian's contract, she felt that what she was doing was wrong. Maybe, because she was in the same shoes as Remmy now. But how Damian treated her was different from how she treated Remmy. The party was an extraordinary opportunity to trample on her dignity. Damian's power was enough to kill her, raping her was an easy thing for him. Coupled with Lord Damon and Nefaris by his side, she shouldn't be able to do anything. Yet he only tied her in a contract without doing all of it.

"You know it's impossible. We can't break the contract," he replied. His desperation was evident in the tone of his voice.

"I mean, you don't have to serve me as usual anymore. Just work as my bodyguard," she explained what she meant.

Remmy frowned in confusion.

"Pardon? Did I hear wrong?" he made sure.

She shook her head from side to side.

"No, Remmy. This is not only for you but also for all my male servants. I'm thinking of disbanding my slaves," she confirmed.

Remmy's jaw dropped in shock.

"W-What? You must be kidding, right?" she said in a stammering voice in disbelief.

"I mean it," she confirmed. "You will work for me as my bodyguard and I will pay you according to your job desks. You can also return to your home once in a while. Let's say one or two days each week. We just need to arrange the schedule in advance. Also, you are free to sleep with whoever you want, I will not forbid you anymore," she made a long explanation.

Remmy's shock was evident on his face. He didn't even believe his ears.

"Did you just run into a fight, My Queen? Should I call the doctor? Oh! Did a demon use his manipulation skill on you so you can't think straight?" He started to make a series of random guesses.

A long exhale came out of her mouth.

"I don't think I'm in his Manipulation skill." To prevent a similar incident, she developed a skill to prevent it, so she would not fall into the same Manipulation skill as her ex-husband.

"Then why?" he asked again in confusion.

His question made her bend her head, trying to cover her blushing face and nervousness from him.

"I... I met this incubus in Splein City," she made a simple statement.

"Incubus? You mean the crown prince?" he confirmed.

"Yes. It's him."

"And?" he asked her to continue.

"And we talked.... About a lot of things." She took a couple of deep breaths to shake off her nervousness before she continued again. "Somehow it made me think about what I had done. About you and all my servants. " She didn't know why her heart was beating fast just because talking about that incubus.

Remmy was speechless. He could only open his mouth in shock. Not a word came out of his mouth.

"So... I thought of giving you freedom," she filled the awkward silence.

"Did he force you to serve him?" he made another random guess.

"He did not. I've taken his contract, yet he didn't force me to do anything. He didn't ask me to sleep with him. He didn't put me in the cage. He didn't manipulate me or ask me to do lewd things with him." Her confusion was evident in her tone of voice.

"He didn't?" he asked in disbelief.

"He didn't. And it made me think a lot..."

Remmy frowned once again.

"That's weird... Maybe he has other goals," he guessed.

"I also think the same thing. But what? He already binds me with his contract. He can do anything to me and I won't be able to fight him. Yet he didn't," she retorted.

After that, the two of them thought in silence. But none of them could guess what the incubus wanted.

"My queen, may I ask you a question?" Finally, Remmy broke the silence between them.

"Go ahead."

"Why did you accept his contract?" he asked curiously. He realized that the queen had a serious trust issue so it was impossible for her to accept a contract from a male demon.

"I have no other choice. We met at Azrael's palace by accident and the king was there," she explained.

"The king was there?" he repeated in shock.

"Yes. With the Vampire queen. It was three versus one. I would lose for sure if I fought them." Another long exhale followed. "They knew all the mess I had made. I was so close to my death. I have no other choice but to take the contract," she said in bitterness. There was a clear trace of anger there and also sadness since she couldn't do anything about it.

"I see..." Remmy muttered. "It was a dead end for you..."

"Remmy, you are the oldest among my servants. Make a schedule for all of them, including you. Make sure everyone gets paid and the holiday they deserve," she decided to divert their conversation around since she didn't want Remmy to catch her blushing face. It was weird since she kept feeling something flaring in her heart after that hug.

"Now?" he confirmed.

She frowned. "Yes. Now."

"Yes. My queen." He was about to get up but she stopped him.

"One more thing. Keep my contract a secret from the others. I'm not ready to announce it," she warned him.

"I understand, My Queen." After giving her a bow, Remmy went to the exit.

"I must be crazy..." she muttered once he left. She felt her decision didn't make sense, but she knew it wasn't manipulation for sure. And that hug... she felt something different from there and it made her feel something different, something that could fill the void in her heart.

'He is a lust demon. But he doesn't act like one. How come...?'
