Rosavellt calmed herself down before she finally spoke.
"Your anger is justified, my lord. There is no reason for you not to desire things like that. The method Elias used to win was underhanded and I know it is a level that no respectful demon lord would ever stoop to. But, it is necessary to remember what is most important. Do not allow your anger to consume you, my lord. Instead, use it as a tool and direct it toward what you must do next. The battle is already lost, but that does not mean that the war is over. You will have your revenge, but revenge against an unworthy opponent should not be the most important thing to a demon lord."
Rosavellt placed her hands on Floid's chest and she allowed herself to feel his heartbeat. Floid was still listening intently, but Rosavellt could feel that he was calmer now. He didn't have that tense look on his face that told her he was very angry. Rosavellt was happy about this. At least, her lord was taking what she said seriously and he was also taking what she says into consideration.
Floid simply kept listening as Rosavellt spoke. Floid knew that Rosavellt was right. He couldn't allow his anger to destroy everything he has been working for. There has always been a plan for what Floid wanted to do and finding Givalich was never the most important thing. Finding Givalich was something that Floid just desired selfishly and it is stupid to allow yourself to get angry simply because your selfish desires didn't come to pass. Elias wasn't worth the anger Floid was feeling.
Rosavellt finally finished what she was saying and she just waited silently for Floid's reaction. Floid leaned back in the water and rest his back on the edge while glaring at the ceiling as he thought about what his maid said. He stayed silent for some time before he finally spoke.
"What is the status of Dragonnel? Is he still unconscious?"
Rosavellt blinked in mild surprise at the sudden change of topic but she still managed to nod quickly enough to tell the demon lord that Dragonnel was still asleep. Dragonnel hasn't woken up yet, but Rosavellt was sure that he would wake up before the hour was over. Dragonnel was strong and a mere explosion from a mana bomb wouldn't be enough to make him enter a coma. Floid nodded and he finally looked at Rosavellt with a calmer gaze.
"I do not enjoy being told what to do by anyone. But I cannot deny that you are right. So, just this once, I shall take your advice to heart. You have done well to advise me Rosavellt. Thank you,"
The smile that broke out on Rosavellt's face rivaled the fucking sun! She nodded her head in acceptance of the thanks and she has to force herself to try and stop smiling so widely! She was so happy at this moment that she was afraid her face would split in two!
She could already tell that the demon lord was feeling better than before and it was all because of her! She did this all on her own! Just knowing that none of the other members of the household would share this glory with her already made Rosavellt ten times happier!!
Every demon was selfish and it didn't matter how much they tried, they would always want to horde things all to themselves. Even though it doesn't show constantly, Rosavellt also wanted to have some things all to herself! And she would always remember this moment as the first time she did something for the demon lord all on her own!
When Floid saw how happy Rosavellt was, he was a little surprised. He didn't think she would be so happy just because he took her advice. But he didn't really mind. He was grateful for what she did. Floid would have kept on thinking about Elias and how Elias beat him if not for Rosavellt coming here.
Rosavellt is right, I need to let go of that defeat and use this as a chance to do something else.
Floid's mind immediately traveled towards another plan he has already put in place a long time ago and he motioned to Rosavellt while talking. Rosavellt immediately perked up to listen to what her lord had to say.
'',
"And what is the status of Ophis? She has been in Uta for a long time now and I'm sure she must've gotten enough ground and influence in the kingdom to give me some feedback,"
Rosavellt immediately nodded her head. Floid sent a disguised Ophis into Uta months ago as a spy. Ophis pretended to be a noblewoman and Floid told her to try and get as much trust as possible in the kingdom so that she will be able to aid the demons whenever they want to begin their invasion. Every once a month since Ophis went to Uta, Travy - the imp that handles all the trades for the demons - would send a familiar to her and she would give the familiar a letter to give back to Travy. Travy would then give Rosavellt the letter.
Ophis has been doing very well in Uta recently. She already had three suitors who were suitable for the tasks they wanted to do. Ophis wrote in the letters that the three men that she has been manipulating were all high-ranking people in the kingdom and she has gotten a lot of news about how the kingdom is run.
One of her suitors was a Grand Commander that was in charge of the military regiment, the second was a member of the queen's cabinet and the third man was the high priest of the church in Uta.
p The lockdown on the kingdom of Uta is still going on now and Ophis still hasn't seen an end in sight for the lockdown. There was a large barrier covering the kingdom on all sides and nothing was allowed in or out of the kingdom until the lockdown was lifted. The magic barrier is powered by hundreds of Mana stones so it is very strong and it would be difficult for any magic device to break through it easily. Even though Rizi might be able to break through it using her weapons, it would alert the kingdom and most of the citizens would be evacuated before the demons could properly breakthrough! Even though this method would still have the same effect, Floid didn't want to risk the chance of anyone escaping, so he wanted his invasion to be as subtle as possible.
Rosavellt then told Floid that Ophis wrote in one of the letters that there was still a chance to get into the kingdom without needing to break through the barrier at all. During one of her outings with one of her "potential suitors", Ophis learned a secret about the barrier.
The suitor that took her out was the head priest that ran the church in Uta, and he was one of the people in charge of making sure the barrier that was set up does not fall. The times for changing the mana stones and also the magic signature used in the creation of the barrier were a tightly held secrets in the kingdom, but Ophis was still able to coerce the head priest into telling her all about it!
Ophis wasn't surprised that he knew about these secrets! It is usually important for the head priest in any kingdom to know all about the protection of the kingdom. Apparently, the people want to make sure that God is still with them so they tell the head priest to pray over all of the mana stones before it is used. Idiotic humans never cease to surprise Ophis. They were trusting a man like this with their secret simply because they think he was a link to some sort of 'god'? If a man like this existed in the demon world, Ophis wouldn't even trust him on the farms! He would be working down in the mines with the giants so he couldn't ruin anything.
It was so easy to make him tell her all about the magic barrier. So easy that it should have been impossible! Ophis didn't even have to use any sort of seduction method at all! The things that people say when they are trying to impress others are vast and sometimes very stupid! And when a man is trying to impress a woman, they become even stupider!
During their outing, Ophis only showed a small interest in the magic barrier and how it was made and the head priest didn't waste any time before he started to brag about how he was one of the people that made it! He bragged so much about the magic barrier that Ophis now knew exactly where the mana stones were kept, what magic signature they used for the mana, and most importantly, she now knew that the magic barrier could be taken down.
Magic barriers - just like magic spells - run on Mana. And just like magic spells, it is impossible to place a magic barrier over a place infinitely! The only people capable of creating a permanent barrier are those who can draw infinite Mana from the atmosphere, just like when Floid placed a [Day Breaker] over the town of Noir. The Day Breaker is still active now because Floid could infinitely draw mana from the atmosphere and keep the skill active.
But no human can do something like that. so there isn't anyone in Uta that can put up a permanent barrier! The barrier over Uta is being powered by a large group of mages and priests that all supply the mana at the same time. That means that the barrier over Uta has to be taken down at intervals so that the group powering it can gain back their strength.
The priest told Ophis that the kingdom of Uta always took down their barriers for at least thirty minutes every day. The thirty minutes is always randomized and only the queen herself knows the exact time when the barrier would be taken down. But during those thirty minutes, the kingdom is completely defenseless and there is an easy path into the kingdom for any attack.
"But Ophis does not yet know when the barrier would be taken down every day. Ophis is currently trying her best to get closer to the queen of Uta, Priscilla, so that she will know the exact schedule for the barrier. Once she has that, she will inform us at once,"
Rosavellt said this to Floid calmly and Floid hummed while looking to the side. He really wanted to make a move on Uta right now, but it would be bad if he attacks them and some of them escape. Ophis had been doing good work lately so Floid would give her a little more time as a reward. Floid planned to completely wipe out Uta, but if they know he is coming, they will evacuate the queen and other important officials from the kingdom immediately. I can't allow something like that to happen.
One of the main reasons Floid was going to invade Uta was because he wanted to capture Priscilla, and if Priscilla manages to escape then Floid would be fucking pissed! Even if Floid wanted to go as soon as possible, he knew it would be best to wait.
'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',
Flood sighed and leaned further back. He didn't have anything to do for the moment so he started to think about what to do next. Floid was sure that Ophis would send a message about the barrier soon. Even though Ophis was powerless, she was still a demon. Her mind and her hatred for humans would motivate her enough to get the information as quickly as possible.
Rosavellt watched Floid as he thought deeply and she couldn't stop her eyes from roaming across his body eagerly. She was sitting between his legs and she was just a small distance away from his erection. She could easily see just how hard he was and she swallowed as she tried her best not to reach out to touch it. Rosavellt could feel her nipples getting erect the more she stared at it and she rubbed her thighs together as she imagined it inside her. She wanted to touch it and put it inside her, but she can't touch the demon lord without his consent! That would be unprofessional for any maid.
Rosavellt couldn't believe the demon lord had so much restraint. He was obviously as horny as she was because she was naked in front of him, but he was still able to think about other more important things and he doesn't even allow his libido to cloud his judgment!
"If you stared any harder, I would think you were trying to set it on fire,"
Rosavellt jumped in shock as Floid suddenly spoke and she blushed when she realized that Floid noticed that she was staring. She turned to the side a little as she thought about hiding her face.
Floid reached out and touched Rosavellt's cheek before turning her face towards him. Rosavellt looked at Floid curiously and Floid pulled her closer to him.
"Is there a point in being so shy after everything that we've done together? You simply needed to ask if you were so eager. But I am not in the best mood now, so I will not be gentle with you. This time, I will definitely hurt you,"
Floid said this with intense seriousness before Rosavellt felt him pull her closer and capture her lips! He wasn't asking her for permission to hurt her, he was simply telling her to get ready for the pain.
She was shocked by what he said, but she couldn't deny that it made her heart beat a little faster. Rosavellt has already had rough sex with Floid before, but the promise of even more pain only made her wonder what Floid had in mind!
Uncertainty clouded her mind but Rosavellt didn't resist at all when Floid came forward and joined their lips together! She felt Floid put his hands on her thighs and she gladly allowed him to raise her up as she deepened the kiss! Rosavellt knelt with her legs on both sides of Floid's waist and she felt Floid's erection hit her stomach. Her entire body shivered and she gasped into Floid's mouth as he brought a hand up and grabbed one of her breasts tightly! Rosavellt instinctively pushed out her chest and allowed Flood to get more access to her breasts!
Floid wrapped his whole palm around one of her breasts and he squeezed down on it like he was trying to milk her! The both of them were still kissing so Rosavellt could only release deep moans and slight groans of pain into Floid's mouth as she felt him manhandling her mound!
Floid put his other hand on the other beast and pinched down on her nipple before twisting!
"Ahhh!!"
Rosavellt couldn't stop the small shout that escaped her mouth when she felt the sharp pain from what Floid did! She pulled back a little from the kiss, but instead of stopping. Floid used that opportunity to reach out and bite her bottom lip between his teeth!
The triad of intense sensations was too much for Rosavellt to endure and she had to hold onto Floid shoulder and squeeze down as she felt Floid press her breast even more! Rosavellt could feel a lot of pain from it, but why the hell did it feel so good!?
