Chapter 119: Lonely Daughter
Belzebuth looked with great superiority and disdain toward the kneeling Isac and Albert.
He found them truly pitiful.
"Are you sure you want the power I will give?" he asked with a feral grin on his face.
Were they ready? What a dumb question to ask.
They wouldn’t be here if they weren’t ready to shoulder the consequences of their actions.
So, with a deep and resolute voice, "We are ready," Isac and Albert said.
"Fine." Belzebuth cut his finger, and two drops of black blood gushed out. They floated before him, twisting and swirling viciously.
The air around them trembled — heavy, disgusting.
Isac and Albert watched the scene as unease started to creep into their bodies. They didn’t know why, but just seeing these two drops of blood made their own blood churn with apprehension.
"Take them," Belzebuth said.
"Ingest this blood. You will then have the power you desire."
Isac, ever perceptive, asked, "What—what else?" He could sense power would not be the only thing they’d gain from this.
And indeed—
Belzebuth grinned wickedly. "Of course, you didn’t expect my help without me gaining anything from it, right?"
"By ingesting this blood, you will become my slave."
He laughed. "You won’t be able to disobey me — you won’t even be able to think of disobedience. I will have your life in my hand."
Isac and Albert trembled in pure dread.
"W-What? That was not what we agreed on," Albert said, his voice trembling.
Isac was still frozen, his mind racing with unknown thoughts.
"We agreed on letting you have part of the human domain after you helped us gain it — not that any of us would be your slave!"
Yes, that was the deal. Once Belzebuth helped them seize the throne, they would give him part of the human domain.
A territory.
A demon having territory in the human domain.
Such a heresy.
But even with that—
"I want more now," Belzebuth said simply, continuing to eat without a care for the world. His body was growing bigger and bigger in real time.
"I don’t just want a territory now. I want all the human domain. And what’s easier than starting by enslaving the very heirs of the human domain?"
Isac and Albert went rigid, their whole bodies and minds struggling to process what Belzebuth had just said.
But immediately, their aura flared.
Wind.
The inherent affinity of the royal family.
The air itself became razor-sharp, able to cut through almost anything.
They wouldn’t accept this.
Isac’s voice became sharp. "Don’t overstep your boundaries, Demon Lord Belzebuth."
Albert’s voice followed right after. "Just because we kneeled in front of you, you think we’ll accept anything you say?"
"We’d rather let that bitch of a sister become Empress than let a fucking demon take over the whole human domain."
"Especially not because of us."
They were ready to fight.
But—
Belzebuth laughed. "You are in my domain. You are in front of me, Belzebuth. And you’re trying to fight?"
"You — A-rank — against me, SS-rank?"
"Fools."
BOOOMM—!
A heavy, oppressive aura filled the room. An aura that seemed to consume and absorb the surroundings.
Instantly, Isac and Albert collapsed to their knees, unable to bear the weight of Belzebuth’s aura.
Belzebuth’s voice echoed — no longer boisterous, but heavy and all-consuming.
"There was no choice for you the moment you stepped foot into my domain."
A pause.
"You will either be my slave... or be my slave."
He grinned — wild and evil.
"Yes. No choice."
Isac and Albert’s eyes widened in terror.
And in that moment, they realized.
They had fucked up.
Badly.
...
Back with Noah and Zara—
They were still locked in a hug. Zara had cried hard through the whole night. Noah’s clothes were wet with her tears.
Now they sat in silence. But Noah knew.
He smiled. "Stop acting like you’re asleep. I know you’re not," he said, and Zara immediately twitched, as if not expecting Noah to see through her so easily.
"I was sleeping. You just woke me up," she murmured.
"Yes, yes, of course," Noah said, rolling his eyes.
Zara stayed silent, choosing not to bury herself deeper in embarrassment.
