The Incubus System Chapter 452. Lust Demon's Capital, Lecheri VI
In that letter, the assistant confessed that he was the mastermind of all of this. From how he seduced Letos's wife and made her betray her husband, today's attack, how he planned to frame Letos, and what he had done in the human world.
Without saying anything, I handed the letter to Lilieth. My eyes were on Letos.
"You haven't answered me yet. Why didn't you report this human world's great demon to me?" I asked.
"I-I'm afraid, Your Majesty. My late wife's betrayal almost ruined our relationship. So I can't say anything except I have solid evidence," he said in a stammering voice.
"I heard that the great demon has servants and succubi. That's why I took drastic measures to catch a lot of suspicious succubi. But who knows my assistant is the mastermind," he added without raising his head.
"That's weird..." Lilieth's mutter made him turn to her.
"Hasn't your assistant already given his loyalty? Why would he betray you? Likewise with your wife. We all know that a succubus cannot betray her master," she cornered him mercilessly.
"Even though he is my assistant, I have never tied his loyalty to that extent. I don't want to be a dictator and want to give him freedom. But I didn't expect that he would use this to betray me. That's also how my first wife betrayed me. I bound her with my love but she betrayed me." His voice sounded like a plea.
"Since a lot of your people betrayed you, isn't it time you tied up your trusted people? It feels a little strange if you, a thousand years demon lord, keep making stupid blunders like this," Lilieth said all her suspicions upon his statement.

"Or... Do you want to use that as an excuse every time you use your trusted people to attack me?" I asked.
He quickly shook his head from side to side eagerly.
"No, Your Majesty. I will bring my trusted people in my contract after this."
His statement would give me an advantage for my next plan. Since he said this publicly, his allies should hear it too.
"Also, how did you know about that human's great demon thing? Do you have spies in the human world?" I asked again. I wondered if there was another incubus in the human world.
"One of my subordinates said it. He is just a small lust demon who protects the city outskirts. He said this great demon is a powerful high Incubus and can kill a lot of demons. He has enslaved several humans and has several servants. Since he came from my kind, I decided to investigate it," he explained.
I assumed it was the Sex demon who told him. There were more than a thousand of them when Myra's boyfriend took them to attack the lab. So there must be one or two demons who escaped and reported this to Letos.
"Since this great demon is dead. I assume no one will betray you next time. And like what I said before..." I glared at him. My threat was clear from my gaze.
"Make sure to bind all your trusted subjects under your contract. My patience is running out, Letos. You keep making big mistakes. All demons question your loyalty to me."
Since he had killed the great demon in front of the crowd, I decided to use it and remain dead for the public. That way he couldn't accuse me later.
"I-I understand..." he stammered.
"Today's incident has shown your incompetence. I will take over the succubi from you," I stated firmly.
"I-I understand." Despite his stammering voice, I could catch his evil smirk on his lips indicating what I thought was right.
"Shall we go now?" Lilieth turned to the journalist.
"We will be doing this live so I hope you don't mind another exclusive news."
Of course, the journalists answered me with shouts of approval.
"But of course, we will check their condition before we take them. So I hope you can make this one right," I added. Again, my threat was evident in my tone of voice and gaze. There was no smirk on my face, showing how serious I was.
It made him pale. His anger was clear in his eyes, but he held it. I bet I managed to ruin his plan again. But he had no other choice but to agree to my request.
"Very well, Your Majesty," he replied.
"Show us the way!" I ordered.
Letos got up and gestured at me to follow him.

Letos turned to me and pretended to panic.
"Y-Your Majesty, i-it's---"
"Please don't tell this is from the prison where the succubi are," I said straight to the point.
That a thousand years ago agreement really saved his ass well. Not to mention his melancholic expression and act.
But of course, this would ruin his reputation. This was a harsh move since I kept sabotaging his plans. Even though this looked like an ordinary meeting, it was no different from a dangerous game of chess. One wrong move, we were dead.
If I, Lilieth, and Lord Damon hadn't discussed all the possibilities that would have happened, I might have fallen for his cunning scheme.
"I-It is... Your Majesty... I-I don't know what to say." His words stopped. His regret was clearly visible on his face.
"I see..." I leaned closer to him. My eyes looked at him menacingly.
"Don't you think your plan is too cliche, Letos?" I scoffed. To which he only answered by lowering his head.
He put everything in public. From the confession to his heroic rescue. Then he destroyed all evidence and acted like a victim when everything fell apart.
Even though it was a cliche move, I could say it was the best plan. With this, all the evidence was gone and I had nothing to accuse him of. His case remained in the gray area.
