Chapter 260: Castle Under Attack
Andromeda narrowed her eyes at Dracula after she entered the room where he was waiting since she saw him just standing there, and Dracula quickly realized his mistake when he saw Talia bow from beside him! He quickly bowed as well as a sign of respect! Even if he was conflicted in his emotions, that's no reason for him to disrespect one of the demon lord's personal servants!
"I apologize. I was lost in my thoughts and I made an error."
Dracula apologized quickly when he bowed and Andromeda finally told them to stand. Andromeda asked Dracula what he wanted and Dracula stayed silent for a while as he tried to organize his thoughts properly so that he would give a good explanation.
Dracula began at the beginning and he told Andromeda about how the mermaids and the lizardmen have been having a territorial conflict for the last few months. Andromeda nodded her head as she already knew about it! The demon lord told all the members of his household to leave the two races to handle their conflict by themselves so there is nothing that Andromeda could do about it.
"Did you come here to seek help from the demon lord? Don't tell me you are incapable of handling such a simple matter by yourself and you wish to involve the demon lord pointlessly. Have you gone mad?"
Andromeda looked towards Talia as she said this and Talia quickly waved her hand in the negative! Of course, it is nothing like that! Talia would never bring the demon lord to such a petty squabble! Andromeda narrowed her eyes slightly before turning back to Dracula and asking him what they wanted if t was not about the conflict.
"I was requested to help the mermaids by Talia here and I went into the lizardmen's territory to strike a deal that would be beneficial to both races. But the lizardmen would not listen and I threatened them to a deal I believed would be benefiting everyone, but then... They exploded"
Shock passed through Andromeda and she did her best not to allow it to show on her face. Was that what the mana wave was earlier? Andromeda felt a mana wave that passed through eh entire kingdom earlier. It was faint and Andromeda knew that it came from a far place. Is that the explosion that Dracula is talking about!?
"Who caused the explosion? Was it someone from the lizardmen tribe?"
Andromeda asked this and Dracula told her that he didn't know who caused the explosion. There was a feeling of bloodlust that filled the cave before the explosion suddenly decimated the entire area. This blow will be too large for the lizardmen, and without a leader, it will take more than a century for them to get back to the way they once were.nove(l)bi(n.)com
It felt like a dream, and for one small second, Andromeda thought that she would wake up in her bed in her room and that would be the end of it! Maybe this was just another dream that would end soon! But that only lasted for a second and Andromeda immediately allowed her face to morph into a sneer of anger! How dare they!? Who is the foolish trash that would dare to come to the demon lord's castle and cause a problem!? How dare they insult their lord like this!?
Andromeda spoke to Rizi in a rushed, clipped tone!
"They must not escape! No matter what you do, focus all of our firepowers on making sure that they do not escape! Send every single familiar out and surround the perimeter so they can not go far! I want their head so we can present it to master!"
It was one thing for someone to attack the demon lord's castle, but it was another thing for them to escape after attacking the demon lord's castle! Andromeda was going to make sure that such a thing never happens! They are going to find that person and they are going to kill them!
Booooomm!
The sound of an explosion rocked the ground underneath Andromeda's tail and she growled in anger and started to slither out of the meeting room and threw out orders to all of the maids around!
"I want everyone to go out there this instant! Send your familiars out and find where the intruder is! I want them dead in the next five minutes or else it will be your head instead! We're under attack and we're going to fucking kill them before doing anything else!"
If there were one thing that Andromeda was good at, it was threatening people! Andromeda was very shy in front of the demon lord and the other members of the demon lord's household because she always thought that she was not good enough to be a part of his household, but when it comes to dealing with mere maids and humans, Andromeda was like a different person! She could order them around and shout at them like they were trash!
Behind Andromeda, Dracula and Talia were following quickly as they tried to understand what the hell was going on! Dracula could only stare at Andromeda and wonder if this was some sort of joke! Did she just say that the demon lord's castle was under attack!?
Is that person insane!?
