Chapter 40 Aftermath (1)
When the sun rose, the beams of light came through the glass windows of the manor.
These beams of light fell onto the three succubi who laid there naked.
As these beams of light fell onto them, the three of them couldn’t help slowly opening their eyes and waking up.
After waking up, the three of them looked around themselves in a daze before suddenly knitting their brows. At the same time, the memories of last night came back to them.
The three of them just sat there for a bit before the other two succubi looked at Miss Morrigan.
The look in their eyes made it clear that they knew that they had messed up, but at the same time, they couldn’t believe that they had lost control like this. It was as if something had forced them to act this way…
But they didn’t have time to figure out what it was since this was a disaster for them.
The count was looking forward to all of the human sacrifices that would have been offered, but now that the Lord Baron and the rest of the demon worshipers were dead…there was no way that would happen.
As for these three succubi who were the cause of it…they would without a doubt be punished.
So the first thing that they had to do was figure out an excuse to give to the count.
They had a limited time since they were expected back by the count the next day, so they had to plant all the evidence so that it wouldn’t be seen through.
In short, they had a very limited time to do a lot of things.
After a long period of silence, Miss Morrigan said, “The humans found out that they were demon worshipers and they destroyed this branch of the demon order.”
The way that she said this sounded like she was just stating a fact.
The other two succubi didn’t say anything and just nodded in agreement to this.
After that, all three of them stood up and started heading off in different directions.
But before leaving, they each created a fireball that they threw back at the manor, lighting it on fire.
Not a single one of them looked back as they walked away from the burning building.

When I arrived back at Madame Rose’s manor in the morning, I found that both Cecilia and Madame Rose were waiting there for me.
The moment that I came into the room, Madame Rose suddenly came forward and took me in her arms, catching me by surprise. When I looked up at her, I couldn’t help being even more surprised since there was a look in her eyes that I had never seen before.
It was a gentle look that was very different from those eyes that had a hidden darkness that she had the entire time.
I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could, she patted me on the head and said, “I’m glad that you’re safe.”
My mouth stopped and the words that had been coming out were stuck in my throat. I really couldn’t help being surprised since she was acting completely different from before…
I was even wondering if this really was Madame Rose.
But that feeling that came from my chest told me that it was indeed her.
This was a feeling that couldn’t be faked.
After she calmed down and we sat down, I took out the piece of paper that I had and placed it on the table.
When Cecilia and Madame Rose saw this piece of paper, their eyes immediately lit up.
Seeing the dark energy that was around the paper, they knew immediately that this was what they were looking for. As long as they had this piece of paper, they would be able to prove that the Lord Baron was conspiring with the demons.
After being in a daze for a bit, Madame Rose suddenly came forward to take me in her arms again. This time, Cecilia also couldn’t help herself and came forward to take me in her arms as well.
As they both hugged me, I could feel their chest pressing against me.
The pressure that came from both of them at the same time really was something else.
But the two of them quickly came back to their senses and turned their attention back to the piece of paper.
After thinking for a bit, Madame Rose said, “I’ll take this to my father and have him deal with this matter.”
Cecilia couldn’t help being surprised when she heard this.
Before this, she had suggested that Madame Rose go to her father for help, but Madame Rose had firmly rejected this proposal. But now, she was saying that she would go to her father without anyone saying anything.
She also couldn’t help feeling that Madame Rose had changed, but she couldn’t tell exactly how she had changed…
Still, she agreed to this plan since the count had more than enough power to take care of the Lord Baron and this was the safest way for Madame Rose to survive this.
After deciding this, Madame Rose turned to me and said, “You go and rest up, I’m sure that you’re tired after that long night.”
I nodded in agreement to this while swaying a bit.
Staying up all night like that in that high tension situation definitely wasn’t relaxing. I was close to falling asleep right on the spot, but I forced myself to stay awake.
Madame Rose didn’t leave right away and she helped me over to the bed. Only when I was lying down did she leave with a concerned look on her face. She also turned back several times as she was leaving.
This caring appearance that she had now was completely different from the commanding appearance that she had before, but it wasn’t a bad feeling.
As she left, I could also see Cecilia standing there with a concerned look on her face which made me smile.
With this warm feeling inside of me, I fell asleep with a happy smile on my face.
However, when I woke up several hours later…it was complete chaos.
