RISE OF EROS-Chapter 611 - 610

Despite Andrew’s order to move faster, Seraphine didn’t want to be reckless, so she moved cautiously. Andrew noticed that while they were moving a little faster, they still didn’t reach the speed he wanted.

He understood that Seraphine who was leading them was being cautious, but he was still not happy with the speed at which they were moving. He then understood that his companions did not know the reason for his eagerness.

It was obvious, he hadn’t told them, so he decided to tell them everything that had happened or at least what he could see thanks to his ability. Upon hearing about the attack on the city of the Duchy of Cannes, everyone understood the urgency.

Even Lucian and the liquid spirits who protected them in the darkness listened attentively to Andrew’s story and even they were surprised by what they heard.

Lucian in particular was a little upset, because although the others did not know who the enemy was, with the few clues he gathered from Andrew’s story, he understood that it was Lortad.

His upset was not due to fear of what happened, since Andrew had already said that Zaros and the others had won and eliminated the enemy, but of the fact that he was not present when Lortad attacked.

Although his closeness to Zaros is not as strong as the one he had centuries ago with Lortad, it could be said that Lucian was a third brother, and upon learning of Lortad’s betrayal, he wanted to be present when his end came.

He even had the fantasy of killing him, himself, although he knew that he had no chance against him since Lortad was much more powerful. Zaros treats Lucian as a family member, but in reality, he is a subordinate.

As much as Zaros has tried to make him closer, the reality is that Lucian has never allowed it. To the untrained eye, Lucian and Zaros are close friends due to the way they act, but that is not the reality.

Lucian has always kept clear boundaries and that is one of the reasons why he despised Lortad. As a loyal subordinate to Zaros, he took Lortad’s betrayal very badly, which is why he wanted to eliminate him.

Unfortunately, he did not have the power, and even though Lortad is now dead, he still regretted not being there to see his downfall. After hearing the tale, Seraphine understood the reason for quickening the pace.

Even knowing that, she hesitated. It is true that the situation warrants speeding up to understand what happened, but at the same time, Andrew had already said that everyone was safe and the enemy had been eliminated, so she saw no reason to sacrifice safety for speed.

For that reason, she stated her case and recommended that they not rush. She said that in Cannes everyone was safe for now and there was no need to take any risks and despite Andrew’s uncertainty, he agreed.

Andrew had panicked a bit, as he couldn’t do anything and felt helpless, but after Seraphine’s words and thinking a bit with a cool head, he understood that there was no need to take risks.

With this, the group continued to advance, prioritizing caution over speed. Despite that, thinking that they would reach their destination without incident was just a fallacy.

As they entered the central area of ​​the Demon Realm, it was increasingly difficult to move without being seen. Fortunately, they reached the vicinity of the city they were heading to without encountering any danger.

Unfortunately, this city is one of the most prominent in the Demon Realm and also home to one of the most powerful and numerous clans, so they were soon spotted. Just like in the other territories, here, there were guard patrols everywhere. In fact, they were even more numerous and strict, so they were soon found. Enjoy new tales from novelbuddy

A group of about 20 high-level expert guards saw them, and although they were not a threat, a battle against them would be problematic, as they would be seen as enemies and would soon be surrounded.

The good news is that Seraphine is relatively well-known in this city, so when the guards saw her, they did not immediately attack. Although their first thought was to talk, that does not mean that they relaxed.

Seraphine, who was the recognized one, led the conversations. If there was one thing she was good at, it was her relationships, as her survival depended on it, so she addressed the group of demonic guards.

"Is something wrong?" Seraphine asked, trying to open the conversation, pretending that she did not understand the situation. Although she was pretending, that referred to the fact that she knew that all the clans had this same attitude, as the cause of such an attitude was still a mystery, so she was not pretending completely.

"Wasn’t Lady Seraphine in the Demon Realm last week?" one of the guards who seemed to be the leader of this group answered the question with another question.

"That’s correct. I went out to meet a friend, but I soon lost communication with my sisters, so I returned," Seraphine answered with half-truths, but her performance was exemplary, as no one suspected.

"Well, a few days ago a strange situation arose. Out of nowhere our instincts towards excessive violence disappeared and then we realized that we have been manipulated, so everyone is on alert," the guard answered without hiding anything.

"Now that you mention it, since I entered the realm I have not felt so much animosity," said Seraphine, as if she were talking to herself, but she was only pretending. She already knew about this, although she did not know the reason.

The guard who spoke to her only nodded, but that did not mean that he believed her completely. Succubi are expert manipulators, so he wasn’t stupid enough to believe Seraphine’s whole act because she is the leader of the succubi.

At that moment he looked behind Seraphine and saw Andrew and the others. Seraphine noticed this, but didn’t say anything and waited for the guard to speak, which didn’t take long, "Who are they?"

"Some friends accompanying me. They’re the ones I visited," Seraphine replied calmly, but the guard looked at them suspiciously. "Is something wrong?" Seraphine asked, seeing that the guard didn’t seem to view her companions favorably.

"Two humans and an Amazon accompanying a succubus in times like these, it’s too strange," the guard said suspiciously. He really said this to test Seraphine’s reaction. It was too foolish to believe that such a provocation would incite Seraphine to make a mistake. She kept her calm and frowning asked, "What’s so strange about that?"

The guard looked at her, finding no trace of nervousness or any other emotion that would give anything away, but he pressed on nonetheless, "Lady Seraphine, you hardly ever leave the city, but now you have left the country and you bring with you a strange group."

The guard paused and added, "Especially now that these sudden but massive changes are happening. You won’t have anything to do with this, will you?" Hearing this, Seraphine darkened her expression and coldly replied, "I am certainly a woman who does not like conflict, but now little trash tries to intimidate and humiliate me?"

While it was all fake, Seraphine did it masterfully. Her anger seemed genuine and her aura was beginning to release, which scared the guards. They might be strong and under the protection of the clan they work for, but it doesn’t change the fact that in front of Seraphine, they are fish on a chopping block.

Succubi aren’t fighters like most demons, but she’s still a demigod, she wouldn’t lose to experts, even when outnumbered. While her performance was good and scared the guards, it also drew unwanted attention.

In the distance, 3 demigods of a similar level to Seraphine could be felt approaching the instant she released her power. Within seconds, the three demigod demons arrived, and upon seeing Seraphine, their brows furrowed.

"What’s the problem?" one of them asked, and although the question was for the guards, Seraphine was the one who answered, "It seems I’m the one who manipulates the demons into being violent."

Although her tone was mocking, the three demigods weren’t bothered. It’s true that succubi are experts at manipulation, but they never thought they could charm an entire country.

Still, they didn’t like that Seraphine was putting on airs of dignity. Succubi aside from their beauty are little valued, so they ignored her and looked at the guards as if waiting for the answer to their previous question.

Emboldened by the arrival of the three superiors, the guard explained the reason why they stopped Seraphine. Only then did the three demigods look at Andrew, Oliver, and Sansa.

Since they were weak, they didn’t bother to pay attention to them when they arrived. Only now that the guard had explained everything did they see them. If there was one thing to note about the guard, it was that he didn’t lie, he told everything that happened, just as it had happened.

Andrew was surprised by that because normally, characters like this guard tend to make up stories to incite conflict and get revenge, but it seems that Andrew was thinking too much.

Unfortunately, these three demigods didn’t seem good-natured, so they faced Seraphine with annoyance and one of them said, "Who are they? Depending on whether you convince us, we’ll let you through or we’ll imprison you."
