For the next hour, we took another shower and then cuddled before being rudely interrupted by one of the maids who demanded their mistress get to work.
Apparently, she had a lot to finish, and that was just like me since I also had a large project to work on now that I had some authority within this empire.
But, little did I know that an angry succubus quickly approached the edge of the forest with an army so big that it trampled the massive trees.
…
A few days have passed, and I've finally returned to work some more, as all the classes I had were canceled.
I was also bringing along a beautiful elf with me because it seemed she knew a lot about what was happening within this empire.
"How much corruption is within the nobles?" I asked the elf, who was dressed in regular clothes, while I walked next to her in sweatpants and a t-shirt.
I wasn't trying to look fancy while doing this.
"There is a lot. Tons of the nobles have been mingling with the demon nobles, sharing information and even giving up a few sun drake sacrifices," The elf responded quite politely, and in a way, I didn't expect.
I thought she would be ruder and try to interfere with the process… but from what I can tell, she is telling the truth.
"Hmmm… Why are you working with me so easily? I thought it would be harder to try and convince you," I muttered.
"You… You said that if I didn't, you would kill me… You don't remember? I was literally shitting bricks," She responded while shivering, thinking back to when I pressed my katana against her throat.
Oh yeah… That did happen. Well, that was a few days ago, so that doesn't really matter.
"That's unfortunate for you then. Anyway, let's continue with our search. I believe it won't take much longer than a few days," I responded, and we continued on our way down the road to our first mansion.
The elf next to me seemed a bit nervous when looking at the place she knew all too well… her original Master's home.
"Last time we were here, I found you sucking your master off," I joked around, but the elf didn't take it nicely as she crossed her arms and pouted… like a weirdo.
"He made me…." She muttered with the deepest blush I had ever seen in my life.
"Yeah, yeah, I know that alread-"
All of a sudden, I felt three demonic presences from within the empty mansion, and it was even more obvious that they were demons when they tried to slip away using [Shadow Magic].
I quickly maneuvered my way over to their recon spot and ambushed the group as soon as they noticed a trail of magic.
They were high-level assassins, and if they weren't such high level, then I would've been able to easily kill them, but their detection skills were too high level… still killed them in the blink of an eye, but you understand where I'm coming from.
"Alrighty… You are the only one left," I muttered as I pinned his hands with a stake made of black flames and chained his ankles together with the same black flames.
The elf, who wasn't phased by the gory sight, walked up next to me and stared down into the assassin's eyes.
"He's familiar," She muttered, and I saw the man's eyes widen, but I had already made sure he couldn't bite his tongue and made sure he had no poison in his molars.
"Familiar, you say… Okay," I responded before ripping off his mask and revealing dark purple skin, purple eyes, and a mouth that had been heavily scarred.
"Yeah. He's definitely familiar… He was one of the representatives of the succubi's kingdom when they proposed an idea for the royals,"
"I see… Well, tell us why you are here?" I asked the man, and obviously, he didn't speak until I gave him my special torturing method.
After all the skin on his face had been peeled, I cauterized him with flames and made sure he could talk again.
"I-I'll talk!" He shouted, his voice a bit weird though from the ice that was coating his tongue.
This was so he couldn't kill himself via biting his tongue off and then proceeding to bleed to death… y'know, the usual.
"Okay, then go ahead," The elf beside me said, and after gulping a large drop of saliva, he spoke up.
"We came to see if our plan had worked out, but it seems the demon was unable to finish the job," He replied, and I tried to get him to spit out all the information he knew, but everything else was things I already knew.
After a disappointing session, I killed him then ate one of his limbs so I could get his skill.
