After Being Betrayed by the Empire, I Decided to Support the Demon King

Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Parents Who Neglect Their Children

"The world of monsters is a world that worships violence more. It is not elegant at all, and there is no such thing as restraint."

Senata spoke quite close to Ira's neck, a thin stream of blood flowing from his neck into her mouth, allowing her to report the situation while simultaneously quenching her thirst for Ira's blood.

Yes, it's not a "craving for fresh blood" but a "craving for Ira's blood," since the "blood of blood" flowing within Ira's body is an unimaginable delicacy for vampires.

If I had to describe it, it would be like placing catnip in a cat, gold coins and treasures in a dragon, and an exhilarating battle in a scarlet demon dragon.

"So, after discovering that you, Mr. Ira, were on the side of the Demon King's territory, other former leaders who had betrayed the Demon King's territory gradually paid their dues. The Demon King's territory's finances should be greatly relieved. You can ask Yuyu for more information."

Senata's mouth opened and closed, and as she did so, blood that tried to enter her mouth was sucked onto her lips by the closing of her mouth, making her already beautiful and rosy lips even redder.

"However, there are still some stubborn territories. I will discuss this with Lord Satan Ye at the end of this month, and will also issue another warning before the end of the month, but..."

As she spoke, Senata Abnesia seemed somewhat bewildered. She said, "Among the territories that have been confirmed to have betrayed us, there are some vampires who have broken away... Although they are not from the Abnesia family, there may still be some of my acquaintances among them."

Vampires are long-lived beings; their bodies do not age or dissipate before their souls decay. Under such circumstances, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it is inevitable that they will fight each other if they are on opposing sides.

If the decision is made to punish the rebels, then all the vampires that Senata once knew will surely be killed.

"So, I'm thinking, should I write a letter to those vampires and urge them to submit quickly, either to obediently pay tribute or to return to the Demon King's territory? But I don't understand why they would choose to be hostile. They shouldn't forget the great things you have accomplished."

As Senata said this, she felt the warmth of Ira leaning against her and couldn't help but feel a little at ease... Being with Ira really gave her a strange sense of security.

That is the sense of security brought by a great being who combines strength and principle, violence and gentleness.

"Lady Senata."

Senata, who was embracing Ira, heard another vampire calling from the doorway. She shuddered and hugged Ira even tighter... The vampire at the doorway watched, staring blankly at Senata, who had acted instinctively.

This condition is commonly known as "food guarding," and it usually only occurs when vampires are young. Younger vampires who guard their food will be punished, and the condition will improve after the punishment.

So, both of them are feeling a bit awkward right now.

"Excuse me, Lady Senata..."

The vampire outside the door said this, wondering to herself why Lady Senata never closed the door. She turned to leave, but added, "But haven't you drunk a bit too much? Lady Ira has passed out."

"..."

"Huh? Wait a minute, but what I drank this time should also be..."

Senata then realized why Ira hadn't responded before. She hurriedly stopped her ability and gently licked the wound on Ira's neck twice to help it heal quickly.

At the same time, she turned Ira over and examined her very carefully...

After studying it for a long time, Senata finally came to the conclusion that she was probably too tired and had fallen asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief and then felt a pang of heartache.

Mr. Ira... you've really worked too hard.

Thinking this, Senata gently picked up Ira and placed him on her bed (in the coffin). She then took off his outer garment and hung it to one side, while she sat down beside him.

"Huff... huff..."

Ira was sleeping in a very good position, and her breathing was very steady. She seemed completely unguarded... In fact, that might be true, since a governor with a "seat" doesn't need to be too vigilant while sleeping.

If Senata were to suddenly lash out now and decapitate Ira with a single blow, things might not have gone in the direction of "Ira is dead".

Everyone in the Demon Lord's territory, including Senata, knew that after Marila Elkaras, the second-in-command of the Elkaras family, was killed in a trap, some triggers were automatically activated, causing her to devour all the monsters around her.

Then they flew away as if nothing had happened.

So if Ira is killed, a more terrifying power will be instantly awakened, a power that ignores friend and foe and kills everything except the "self".

The power awakened by the automatically pulled trigger at the moment of Marila Elkaras' death was the [Mostima Shadow Shark]. So what power will be awakened at the moment of Ira Elkaras' death?

As Senata pondered this with some curiosity, she noticed some of Ira's blood on her collar, and casually unbuttoned her otherwise ornate dress.

Even if Ira wakes up, it doesn't matter; she doesn't care much about it.

"Bang!"

"Miss Senata, I heard..."

As the door opened, Satan Ye's voice came from the doorway, but she stopped halfway through her sentence. Tikap and Sylvanas walked over from behind her, and then they all fell silent.

"..."

Before them lay Ira, dressed only in a white shirt, lying disheveled on the silk, and Senata, who was about to unbutton her clothes. It was hard not to misunderstand.

"I'll take my leave now."

Teecap was the first to leave, and as he said this, his body quickly became ethereal and disappeared.

"Demon King, let's go..."

As Shirina spoke, she pulled Satanieh along, preparing to leave. Ignoring Satanieh's slightly flushed face and his questioning, "But... eh?", she turned to the stunned Senata and asked, "Did Lord Ira agree? Don't make him angry..."

As she said this, Sirina glanced at the sky, then sought the opinion of the stunned high-ranking vampire: "Is four hours enough for you?"

"..."

Serena: "No! Miss Sirina. And Lord Demon King! That's not how it is!"

Satan Leaf: "Hmm, what? Do you want a kiss?"

Shirina: "Ah... Lord Demon King, you'll understand when you grow up."
