The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 468. Liar and The Truth

Letos' PoV

A burst of laughter escaped Letos' mouth as soon as he saw the exclusive broadcast on TV.

"See? She acts as if all the lust demonkind is on her side but even without my orders, there are a lot of demons who want to kill her!" he said in excitement, pointing at the TV in front of him. His wine glass in his other hand. This was the best thing he had seen after that failed attack. Unfortunately, the TV only showed the incubus figure briefly. It was unclear and no better than a shadow.

His laughter created a smile on his wives' lips. They sat beside Letos.

"You're right, My Lord. I bet that incubus also hates her to the bone!" she said, embracing Letos' hand affectionately.

"He knows his real leader is you, My Lord~," added another wife.

"What if we use this incident for our benefit?" she said.

That suggestion made him turn to her.

"That is a good idea, darling. But not now. The king's attention is still on me so I must keep myself low." He returned his gaze to the TV screen. An evil smile on his lips.

"For now, let him do what he wants. After that, I will make him my scapegoat for my next plan. And if he survives... I will invite him to join my army. But if he defies me…" He clenched his hand, breaking the wine glass as a result.

"I will kill him…"

Ethan's PoV

As soon as we exited the portal, we were already in my room.

"It's a big success," Ivy said happily, turning herself into her original appearance.

So did I.

"Definitely," I said. We had spread many clues that we were Letos' subordinates here and there, from dropping the sunglasses, the tattoo, and our appearance in the ruined prison.

Still, I couldn't calm down until everything ended well. Although we didn't do it openly, we also had to make sure it didn't backfire on us. That was the most important thing.

But again considering what Letos did in the past, I was sure it would work. I simply took advantage of what Letos had done. How he betrayed his friends, his wives, loyal subjects, even other demon lords and went to Lord Damon to lick his boots.

'No one believes a liar even when he tells the truth.' It was a famous quote in the human world and what inspired me to this plan. I would kill Letos with his own lies.

"Your Highness, do you think we need to create a bit of fuss in the capital? Just to avoid his suspicion?" Ivy's voice broke my thoughts.

I was silent, deep in thought. It was a good idea but due to what happened in Licheri, Lord Damon had already announced that he would tighten the capital security. Moreover, even though Lord Damon had covered up Letos' attack, some reporters guessed that something had happened here. Then again, they didn't dare ask much considering how proud Lord Damon was.

"I don't think we will need it. Dad has announced to tighten the security. Besides, everyone knows the king's personality. Reputation is everything to him, if anything happens in the capital or Illusion Night Towers, he will cover it up. Just let the rumors about what happened a few days ago do the job," I replied.

Actually, I was kinda shocked when I heard Lord Damon used a coffee machine's explosion as an excuse to cover up Letos' attack. But I was even more shocked when I knew no one questioned or said their doubts about that stupid statement.

On the other hand, my servants once told me that Lord Damon never showed his sorrow or worry in public. Even when he lost me the first time. He hid his emotions and sadness well and helped Lilieth to get back on her feet. Even though I hated that side of him, even though I hated his arrogance and his prideful attitude, that was what he had to show as a king. He must not lose his pride, show his emotions, or his weaknesses.

'Maybe that's what shaped his character and arrogance. Because he can't show his real feelings to other people,' I thought. Somehow I felt sorry for him.

"Hmm... True. His Majesty doesn't like someone ruining his reputation. So even if something happens, other demon lords will think the king has covered it up," said Ivy.

"Yes. As for the others, it all depends on our performance. Just remember, for the next mission you will only be my diversion and this is not a real attack. You may injure one or two demons but don't kill them. Some explosions there and here also will do the job. For sure you don't need to show yourself," I instructed.

I had to minimize the chances of them getting caught, so I had to do most of the work. But I needed them to make a little fuss to make my job easier. However, I had to show that this was an organized mission, not random attacks.

"I understand," Ivy replied.

"Take a rest. We'll talk about what we do next with the others," I said.

"After dinner as usual?" she made sure.

"Yes."

She nodded.

"Got it. I'll tell the others."

She just turned around and was about to leave, but I called her again.

"Ivy."

She stopped in his tracks and turned around.

"Yes?"

"Did you enjoy our date?" I asked.

A smile appeared on her lips.

"Of course. Doesn't that question suit you better?"

"I mean, did our date make you feel better?" I explained what I meant.

"Yes." Her smile was replaced with a bitter one.

"But unfortunately my aunt is no longer around. She is a good succubus, we can do a threesome if she is still alive." But a second later, her bitter smile faded. This time her gaze was filled with determination.

"But it's fine. What's most important to me is getting revenge. I'll make sure Letos pay for this."

Note: The reporters didn't catch Damian's face. So Letos didn't realize it.
