The first thing I need to do is create confusion here, diverting their attention to something else, but at the same time, I need to pull that bastard out. It's obvious that I cannot do it here while everyone is watching.

I looked around me, searching for something that could help me.

And soon, I found one. A man in a black cloak, one of the vampires present here.

Why do I need him?

To send my message to that bastard, but through his way.

But first, let's go out from here, so I stood up and said, "I would like to go out for a while. I can't stand the sight of him. Don't worry, I will be back soon."

I said that and left from there without looking back.

There was a visible confusion on the grand elder's face, he had yet to know what had been going on with us.

But mother and Ayesha seemed worried, yet they didn't think I was going to do anything weird.

Though I feel Mother might have a hunch, yet she stayed silent.

I walked away from there, pretending to be normal, even when I passed through the cloaked guy.

And just as I was close to him, I touched his back. He instantly disappeared from his place.

It was so fast that nobody even noticed it, mainly because they were all too focused on themselves and the constant chattering of that bastard.

Noticing that no one was looking at me, I swiftly exited the place and went far away from there, to a place where there was nothing but darkness.

I couldn't even see the castle from here.

"This seems to be the right place. Is he still alive, Zixane?"

I asked because I had thrown him inside the domain, where Zixane was doing her job tying him up with ropes.

[Done, husband, I will need my reward soon for this.]

She spoke after tying him up... in an extremely embarrassing position.

Without answering her, I pulled him out of the domain.

"Hey? What do you think you are doing? You are also a demon, have you forgotten our plan?" He yelled at me immediately after coming out.

"Sigh~ it's so annoying when I try to hide my aura for so long and yet, a mere demon can sense it. Well, not like that matters for now. So, what do we have here?"

Saying that, I squatted down, looking at him with my cold eyes.

I then removed his hood, trying to see his face.

"A bloody vampire," I commented after seeing his face.

"Y-you... who are you? U-untie me this instant otherwise... ahhhh..."

As he continued to run his mouth, I raised my hand and pulled his hair, making his head tilt in the direction of my hand and said,

"Calm down, brat. I am far too angry right now to keep listening to your plea. If you wish to live, then keep quiet and do as I say. Do you understand?" I coldly said to him, my eyes were glinting with madness right now.

Even now, I feel as if snapping his head off his body. But he is needed for now, I will do it after his work is finished.

But instead of answering, he was glaring at me, gritting his teeth.

This motherfucker...

"You think I am joking, right?" My voice went even colder.

I was growing sick and tired of people underestimating me.

Gnashing my teeth in fury, I lifted him, clenching my fist on his hair.

"Ahhhhhh... it hurts, it hurts..." He groaned in pain.

"Oh, does it now? Don't worry, I will make your pain go away in an instant." I furiously looked into his eyes and thrusted my fist into his chest.

"Hmm...?!!!"

His eyes opened wide, completely shocked. He couldn't even move his head to look at the place where he was hurt.

"You feel good now?" I asked, my face contorted into a wicked grin.

"I will make it feel even better."

I could feel a familiar feeling coursing through my body. And I knew it very well.

It was my hunger for chaos. Living for countless lives, this was something that made me sane, or so to speak, insane.

No matter what happens, this world will continue to live on.

So whatever I do isn't going to change anything. If a person dies, no worries, there will be many more. If a race dies entirely, then no worries, a new one will replace them.

This was the reality of this world; no matter what happens, the world will live on.

So I went insane then, not caring about anything at all. Cause I knew nothing would happen in the end.

I had forgotten this feeling from living with my family for years, but now... it was coming back.

It felt as if I was aroused by this feeling, it felt just that good.

My hands then went further inside him and touched his heart.

His mouth spat out a mouthful of blood, and finally, I was able to see fear in his eyes.

"Are you afraid?" I asked him, with the same perverted and wicked smile on my face.

He didn't say anything, he couldn't. But I can tell he was.

"So, are you going to do what I say now?"

Again, he couldn't say anything, but his eyes spoke for themselves.

He will.

"Good, you are an intelligent young man. There is a bright future ahead of you. Why even bother resisting the first place?"

I said that I threw it on the ground again.

"Cough* cough*"

He began to cough violently, even throwing blood with it, but his injury didn't heal.

His powers were sealed with the rope that he was bound with.

A rope made with demonic mana, called the demon sealing rope.

And no, it wasn't made from a different race; it was made by the demons to keep the lower demons in check.

The one who makes this rope, if their demonic mana is much purer and higher, then they can deal with the demonic mana of someone who is weaker than them.

And in this case, Zixane's rope isn't something he can undo on his own.

I could make one too, but my quantity will be less than his.

He was at rank 7, and I am at rank 2.

I glanced at him; he was finally in a position to listen to me.

"I want you to deliver a letter." Saying that, I threw a letter towards him.

"I want you to give this to King Edward and say that this is from Eleanor. Can you do it?"

To my reply, he took the letter and nodded his head, not even daring to raise his head and look at me.

"Good. I will remove that rope after you bring him here. Also, say this to him that she will come here later after him, she doesn't want others to grow suspicious of them. Now go."

As I gave him the command, he instantly got up from his place and ran towards the castle.

Now, the only thing I need to do is wait... wait for that bastard to come here.

[But will he fall for such an obvious trick, husband?]

He will.

He is a fool who only relies on his authority and power to get his work done.

And he is too lustful to ignore the letter. Because I have placed mother's aura in that letter.

He will for sure think that the letter is written by mother and run like a moron to this place.

[But what if that vampire decides to reveal your plan?]

He won't, and he can't.

If his thoughts divert from the path, he will die instantly and turn into an undead.

I have placed my power of law inside his heart, which will kill him and turn him into my puppet.

No matter what, the letter will get delivered to him.

I bet he won't even think of a reason why it was that robed guy who delivered the letter and not a maid of his palace.

I didn't even notice when you placed your power of law inside his heart. For a moment, I felt like I was seeing the old you there, husband.]

I am the same as before, dear. It is just that I do not wish to go back to being that guy again. Otherwise, I might destroy the world completely this time.

And now that I have time, let's set up what I prepared for 3 days.

I would have just asked Zixane to make another demon sealing rope if I had known what that bastard was up to, but it is fine too.

Time to place the rune that I have been making for 3 days.
