The Incubus System Chapter 506. The Vampire Queen's Invitation II
Our eyes fell on three male vampires who were wearing neat suits. Their heights were about mine. Their eyes glinted in red and all of them had cold faces. A black wolf the size of a giant horse was behind them.
The vampires bent their heads and flexed one of their legs backward gracefully.
"Greetings, My Lady. Our apology for interrupting you. We are the queen's guards, Queen Nefaris who rules this territory," said one of them.
Foxy took a deep breath to shake off her nervousness since judging by their powers, she knew they weren't the same as the Hounds. Then she returned to playing her role as a high noble demon lady.
She folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly stepped forward.
"Oh, the queen. Of course." She stopped a few meters in front of them and nodded her head a bit politely. "I hope she doesn't mind us. I just wanted to pick up some friends and be leaving soon."
As they talked, I checked the status over their heads.

'Their levels are around Buni and the others. How could they blow away that building like that?' I thought. There was only one thing that came to my mind, it was the queen who did it, not them.
The vampire smiled. "Her Majesty doesn't mind that, My Lady. But she hopes you can grant her wish."
"Say it," said Foxy.
"Her Majesty wants to invite one of your servants to her palace," the vampire gestured to me.
'As expected...' My meeting with the queen was unavoidable. But I didn't raise my voice, and neither did the others. Only Foxy was allowed to negotiate here. I would pretend to be her servant until the end.
Foxy frowned in displeasure.
"Pardon. What does Her Majesty want from my servant? What crime has he committed?"
"We don't have any further information about that. She only said, she wants to invite your servant to her place," replied the vampire.
"But we are sure it's not a bad thing. If not, she would send her soldiers, not us," added another vampire.
But their answer didn't erase the frown on Foxy's forehead.
"Why him?" she asked again. "If the queen wants to make him her servant, isn't it too late? Breaking the servant contract is tantamount to killing the servant himself," she warned.
"Don't worry, my lady. She won't take him from you. The queen just wanted to borrow him for a while," replied the vampire politely.
After pretending to think for a while, Foxy shook her head side to side slowly and opened her voice again.
"Then, forgive me. I can't let him go. He is my servant. His safety is my responsibility."
Her answers were answered with strong winds blowing out of nowhere. It ruffled our hair and made the leaves wave fiercely. Several branches were broken by it. We crossed our hands in front of us in reflex to protect ourselves. The small demons quickly hid behind me. As per my orders, none of them changed in their battle form.
But a couple of seconds later, the wind disappeared. Not even a breeze. It stopped just like that. Without needing any explanation, we understood that it was the queen's power and she was trying to say no one could leave her territory without her permission.
"I see. That servant means a lot to you. But I think you have no other choice. The servant must come with us whether we like it or not. Her Majesty will return him after having dinner with her" said the vampire once the wind subsided.
Foxy almost opened her voice again, trying to negotiate with them. But I interrupted her.
"I agree," I said suddenly. I couldn't get away from this and knew the queen wouldn't let us go if I didn't come. After all, this was my chance to bring her to our side.
My sudden answer made all my servants turn to me.
"Are you sure?" Foxy said. Her concern was evident in her tone of voice.
I lowered my head a bit.
"I'm sure of it, my lady. I believe the queen will keep her promise," I replied.

"Fine." Foxy returned her gaze to The Vampires. "But only for one day," she asserted.
"One day is enough, My Lady," replied the vampire.
The other vampire gestured at the huge wolf behind them.
"Please follow us, sir."
"I'm not done yet," I added.
The vampires turned to me in response.
"I can't leave my master and comrades in the middle of the forest like this. I hope I can escort them out of this place before I meet the queen," I demanded.
A frown of displeasure appeared on the vampires' foreheads. They just opened their voices, but my request was answered with something else.
This time, the ground vibrated. I could feel a significant movement in the ground. I and the others were on our attack stance. Our eyes looked around in panic. While the vampires looked calm.
'Did I mess up? Did my request make her angry?' I thought worriedly. In an urgent case, we had to fight her openly.
Luckily, I was wrong. The trees, bushes and whatever stood in our way from our position to the exit, as if they had legs to move around.
A few seconds later, it stopped. Our eyes widened in surprise with the phenomenon. What we saw was no different from a smooth city street.
'She really owns this land, huh?' I thought. Somehow I could understand why Lord Damon asked me to take her to our side. I agreed with him. It was better to make her our friend before she turned into an enemy.
"It seems Her Majesty has given you permission to do so," said the vampire. Then he gestured at the wolf once again. "Please get on. We'll take you."
"Fine," Foxy said since we had no other choice.
