The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 569. The King's Grand Entrance I

Once our car stopped at the Purple Stone Palace's courtyard, Lord Damon was the one who got out of the car first. But none of the reporters who had lined up paid attention to him. Of course, apart from hiding his Demonic Aura with the armor, he also covered one-third of his face with a masquerade mask. So they simply ignored him and thought he was an ordinary demon. That was his last-minute idea for his grand entrance plan. And from how excited he was, I was sure he enjoyed it. Defty, he stood by the door of the car and waited for me to get out as if he were a professional bodyguard.

According to his previous request, I got out of the car and fixed my suit. I lifted my chin a bit, showing my confidence in the camera flashlight that rained down on me. My eyes swept around me, ignoring him completely as if he were my real bodyguard. A faint smile on my lips since I didn't want to give off the arrogant impression of Lord Damon.

The red carpet was already under my feet. The fences were on the right and left to ensure the reporters stayed in their position. The dozens of Giant Demons guarding the surroundings ensured that everything went well, a standard protocol to welcome demon lords like us.

A few meters ahead of me, a two meters horse-legged demon lord walked side by side with his succubus partner. But since I didn't activate my Demonic Aura, he didn't turn to me at all. Even some of the reporters were still busy pointing their cameras at that demon lord rather than me. Only a few reporters who were aware of my presence immediately turned their cameras at me.

I could feel the various demon lords' aura mixed in here so Lord Damon and I didn't know who it belonged to. All of them were so strong. Still, I could feel a powerful Demonic Aura from a single demon and I bet it belonged to the old demon, Azrael.

"He's getting stronger although his status hasn't changed since then," Lord Damon whispered after he closed the car door and stood behind me.

I tilted my head at him a bit. My sight caught a smile of excitement on his lips.

"Cut that stupid stupid smile or you will expose yourself prematurely," I reminded him in a teasing tone.

He scoffed.

"So much talk," he replied without glancing at me.

I clicked my tongue in response. Without saying anything else, I returned my gaze to the front and we started walking towards the huge carved marble door. It matched the antique modern palace.

As I walked, some reporters, who had just noticed my presence, quickly pointed their cameras at me. None of them said a thing since, at the last conference, Lord Damon had already mentioned that I had the talent to hide my Demonic Aura since birth.

Before we arrived in front of the huge door, I could feel another demon lord's presence. A demon queen to be exact. And from her demonic aura, I already know who she was.

We stopped our steps and turned around.

My eyes could catch an open red carriage with two huge black wolves pulling it. The carriage was elegant and beautiful with gold ornaments on the body and some parts. It was something I had only seen in epic fantasy movies before, but I saw it with my own eyes.

Her servant sat at the front as a coachman and another one sat on one of the handles in the form of a bat. Once the carriage stopped, the bat servant flew to the front of the door and turned to his original form. Defty, he opened the door and bent his head a bit.

I tilted my head at Lord Damon a bit without taking my eyes off her.

"See that? That's how a bodyguard should behave," I commented on his act.

"I'm not your servant," he hissed in a cold voice. I could feel his death stare. That was enough to give me a chill.

I smiled nervously. I thought he was in his 'troll mode', but he didn't seem happy with how Nefaris snatched everyone's attention.

"I'm just kidding." Even though our strengths were almost the same, I couldn't shake off the feeling of a son to his dad.

Nefaris got off the carriage. A dress in her favorite color covered her body. This dress was more elegant than the usual one. Three expensive necklaces adorn her neck. From the color and the shapes, those were expensive ones. Her appearance showed her status as the queen of vampires.

She put her hands on her waist like a professional model and posed for the reporters who immediately took her photos eagerly. A confident smile on her lips. She rarely almost never attended events like this, so they didn't waste this opportunity.

"Tch! What an attention whore," Lord Damon hissed in displeasure. As I expected, his sour mood returned because of Nefaris' presence. I even felt his killing intent from behind me.

"Please restrain yourself. You are planning to surprise them, remember?" I reminded him, asking him to be patient.

"I know. I'm just a little annoyed since she didn't say anything about this." His annoyance was clearly heard in his every word. Yeah, Nefaris indeed said she wanted to go to this party on her own, but she didn't mention that she would do this. Well, maybe they were both Death Demons so their eternal competition would never stop.

She approached us. Her eyes glanced at Lord Damon and gave him an annoying smile before she returned her gaze to me.

"You arrived earlier than I thought, Damian," she greeted, completely ignoring Lord Damon.

"And you look more magnificent than I expected," I complimented her. It was a genuine compliment.

But rather than me, it was Lord Damon who answered her.

"Seriously?" he hissed in displeasure as if praising her was a crime.

Nefaris glanced at him.

"Oh relax. It wasn't like I wanted to steal your grand entrance. I only made my own entrance," she said in displeasure before she waved her hair with one of her hands and raised her head a bit. A smug smile on her lips. "In style," she continued.

"Ugh," he cringed. Lord Damon couldn't help himself but grunt and rolled his eyes to the side.

"I think we should get inside. We can't let Azrael wait for us," I quickly said to disperse the tense atmosphere.

They just answered me by exchanging glances briefly and walked in without a word, leaving me alone.

'And--- he forgot that he still has to pretend to be my bodyguard,' I grumbled internally. My flat stare was on them.

'Whatever.' I followed them.
