Damn it!
Are you kidding me?!
Did this bastard not know that his family legally ran a brothel?!
And yet... how could Prince Rhine possibly not know about even this?
The Dragon Succubus had no choice but to start wondering what exactly this prince was planning.
Or rather, what exactly was he investigating?
Considering how familiar Prince Rhine had been with the ingredients in the Succubi's local specialties...
The Dragon Succubus and the other Succubi instantly came to the same conclusion.
This prince had come prepared.
He had already investigated Dreamland!
Then there was a very good chance he had known for a long time that Dreamland was actually an outpost built by Olivia, the Dragon of Lust, in the Imperial Capital of Hain...
Had this day finally arrived...
The Dragon Succubus despairingly reached the only reasonable conclusion.
Thirty years.
The reckoning against Dreamland was finally beginning!!
In fact, the Succubi had known long ago that this day would come.
There was no way to conceal the fact that they were creatures of the Nether Realm from the Demigod Imperial Guard. The reason they had not been exposed until today was simply that the Imperial Guards still had something to gain from them.
But...
Today, that unspoken understanding was about to be broken.
Prince Rhine, representing the Hain Empire, was going to settle accounts with them.
However...
Hmm... speaking of which...
This shouldn't be some kind of play, should it?
The Dragon Succubus suddenly noticed a crucial point and began to wonder whether she was being overly tense.
...Maybe the prince was only waiting for her to sob, stick out her butt, and beg for mercy?
If she ended up stabbing the prince to death because she was too nervous, then fleeing back to the Nether Realm with the Succubi... wouldn't that be incredibly awkward?!
The Dragon Succubus gave two awkward laughs and was just about to probe the prince.
Rhine, however, spoke calmly, as though he had foreseen the future: "Don't put on some vulgar performance in such a serious setting. I'm being serious."
"!!"
Those words made the Dragon Succubus's heart stop for a moment.
This... this man...
Could he read my thoughts?
No, how could that be possible?
In any case... this prince was troublesome. If all else failed, she could go to the Imperial Palace and ask those few for help. Those bitches had taken their money for so many years; it was time they did something useful!
While the Dragon Succubus was thinking this over,
Rhine suddenly looked at her. "Madam, what are you thinking about?"
Dragon Succubus: "Huh? I..."
Rhine: "Do you still not understand the nature of those Imperial Guards? They don't have the words 'integrity' or 'morality' in their heads. Isn't it a little too optimistic to ask them for help?"
What, what was wrong with this man?!
This time, the Dragon Succubus truly began to suspect that Prince Rhine could actually read minds!
The Dragon Succubus was completely baffled. She no longer knew what bizarre situation she was facing, but she did know that she had to run!
Her gaze kept darting around, and she no longer dared meet Rhine's eyes.
Rhine, meanwhile, enjoyed watching the Dragon Succubus mentally crumble.
He was delighted.
Rhine obviously couldn't read minds. At least, he couldn't yet.1
However, he had already played mind games with this group of Succubi in this private room countless times.2
He knew exactly what these Succubi were thinking and what they were preparing to do.
--Your department is right next door to my house. Want to guess how many times I've dealt with you in total across my thousand reincarnated lives?
At that moment, the Dragon Succubus was utterly distraught, but she knew that the Succubi still had a chance. They could still struggle!!
When it came to running away, the Succubi had long since prepared a contingency plan!
Guess what the first structure completed in the entire palace was when Dreamland was being built?
It was the Nether Realm Gate in Dreamland's basement!
All they had to do was tell some random lie and find a way to stall the prince. Even a few seconds would be enough for the Succubi to pass through the Nether Realm Gate and escape with their lives!
"Your Highness, Prince..."
The Dragon Succubus said with a stiff smile, "Since you wish to investigate, allow me to accompany you..."
--You say you're here to investigate, but once I lead you to the warehouse in the backyard, I'll knock you out with a club. Then I should be able to escape with my sisters!
The Dragon Succubus secretly made her calculations.
However.
Rhine felt it was time to end the pleasantries and get to the point, so he ruthlessly cut off the Succubi's last path to survival.
The prince only said one sentence, and the Succubi fell into complete despair.
"Stop struggling."
Rhine finally played his trump card. "I brought an Imperial Guard with me when I came."
At that instant,
the Dragon Succubus finally understood everything...
Oh...
They really were beyond saving.
"An, an Imperial Guard?!"
The Succubi's voices trembled uncontrollably... So the prince had come out with an Imperial Guard this time?!
Weren't they completely screwed now?!
Rhine nodded.
"Yes. An Imperial Guard who was forced by the Sanctuary as a child to swear that she could never fall in love with her beloved childhood sweetheart, and thus sealed her heart and became expressionless, but still shamelessly took an intense interest in her childhood sweetheart's private life. She is currently at a bar three blocks away, keeping a close eye on him while he visits a brothel."
At the same time,
in a bar three blocks away from Dreamland, a girl in a white cloak that concealed her face suddenly spat out a mouthful of coffee and began coughing violently after choking on it.
The despairing Succubi no longer had the heart to care about the little bit of gossip involving His Highness the Prince and the Imperial Guard.
In the end, they asked weakly, "So, Prince Rhine... what exactly do you want to do?"
"I don't know."
Rhine said calmly, "Perhaps I'll kill all of you. Or perhaps you'll be working for me from now on."
Rhine was telling the truth, because what he was about to do was something he had never done in his thousand lifetimes.
"Come on. Take me to the escape route you built."
"I want to meet your god, Olivia."
The Fallen Ancient Dragon Princess
The Nether Realm.
At the far end of that world, which symbolized chaos and corruption, countless disqualified gods had been exiled.
In the central region of the Nether Realm stood a vast forest filled with birdsong, flowers, and breathtaking scenery.
It was the home of the Succubi.
At the center of the forest, upon a throne woven from flowers and vines, a girl with dragon horns lazily curled up.
Her slender fingers glided gently through the air as she used petals for ink, drawing the exquisite dream she had dreamed the previous night upon the grass--
[Self-censored][Self-censored][Self-censored][Self-censored]
Ah...
An intoxicated smile appeared on the Dragon Girl's face.
So lewd!
This strangely inclined Dragon Girl seated upon the throne was the mistress of this forest, the Queen of the Succubi, and also a supreme being who fed on human lust.
One of the Nether Realm's most powerful evil gods, The Fallen Ancient Dragon Princess, the Dragon of Lust, Olivia.
At that moment,
beneath the throne, a believer lay prostrate on the ground, trembling.
After who knew how long, the Ancient Dragon Princess finally noticed her visitor. Her blood-red vertical pupils listlessly looked down at the believer below.
"Duke Antoine, I don't understand. Why has your nation's faith in me fallen by nearly thirty percent this month?"1
"Reporting to the supreme one..."
The believer said fearfully:
"Because the Hain Empire has gone to war with our neighbors, the bureaucrats fear suffering the same fate, so they have been vigorously promoting the faith of the Goddess of Order..."
The faith of the Goddess of Order was the state religion of the Hain Empire.
As the Hain Empire expanded, the glory of the Goddess of Order spread across the land.
It also continued to squeeze the living space of other religions.
"Duke Antoine, I don't want this to continue happening."
Olivia pulled out a strand of hair and tossed it to the believer.
"This is my Dragon Scale. Make good use of it."
The believer reverently held up the strand of hair with both hands. "I, I understand... supreme one."
"Within a year, I want my believers to remember who their true god is. Otherwise, I will grant you the cruelest punishment."
The believer's voice trembled. "The cruelest... punishment?"
Olivia, the Dragon of Lust, possessed the power to pry into human nature and see through the weaknesses of people's hearts.
She saw through this mortal's greatest weakness at a glance.
Olivia said indifferently, "...For example, blessing your wife so that she would love only you forever?"
"No! Please, never do that!! Supreme one! Please, have mercy!!"
The believer's face lost all color. A desperate whimper escaped his throat as he begged frantically for mercy.
As an elegant N■R enthusiast,
having a wife who refused to cheat would make life no different from falling into hell!!
Duke Antoine: "I will not fail in my mission! I will carry out your command! Great supreme one... please spare my wife!!"
Olivia closed her eyes and said nothing.3
