The Incubus System Chapter 449. Lust Demon’s Capital, Lecheri III
Once I went in, everyone immediately stood up and bowed to me. Followed by the flashlights that came without a pause. The reporters’ and journalists’ attention were locked on us since our appearance was a rare thing. Not to mention that last problem between Lord Damon and Letos.
Nonchalantly, we went on the stage and sat on the sofa behind the podium. Letos occasionally smiled and looked at me, trying to show his closeness to me or just to show that our relationship was fine. But my cold expression showed another thing.
People’s murmurs filled the room. All the journalists had prepared their questions. As for their identities, Lord Damon’s assistant had checked them. Indeed some media sided with Letos but Lord Damon controlled most of the media. While the others remained neutral. The public should get a fair view of the two sides.
The conference started with Letos’ wife’s opening speech. Which introduced us and told us about this conference’s rules. Which was followed by Letos’ explanation of why he caught the succubi.
He said his late wife’s betrayal had opened his eyes to the dangers that lurk around Lord Damon and Lilieth. He claimed that he didn’t mind being hated by the whole world to protect me. He even put on a sad and regretful face as if we were watching a cheap opera drama. He made this press conference a theatrical drama for him.
It was seriously irritating me, but I held myself back. After all, Lilieth had already prepared her counter. As for his attitude, it was a normal thing for them. Lord Damon and Lilieth already knew how cunning he was so they had prepared everything.
“I don’t want to put His Majesty in a difficult position or break our world’s balance. But the Lust demonkind is in my authority and I’m so ashamed of myself that I can’t lead them properly. So I decided to take drastic measures,” he stated.
Even with his calm voice, his tears at the corners of his eyes and his expression showed as if he was the tragic hero. A sign that he did this not because of his will, but because of his responsibility as a leader.
“But arresting without evidence isn’t the same as a crime?” asked one of the journalists.
“I can’t deny it. But as I said, these people can bring disaster to us. So I prefer to investigate them separately. If I don’t find any evidence, I will let them go,” Letos replied.
“What method did you use to interrogate them?” another journalist asked.
“I can’t tell you my method. But I can guarantee their safety as long as they don’t resist. For sure, I use a peaceful method,” he reassured them.
“Starving them to death is also a peaceful method, right?” I blurted out without further ado.
My sudden statement made them turn to me. Including Letos.
I turned my gaze at Letos and smirked.
“Didn’t your mother also do the same to you? There was no violence there but it has scarred you for a lifetime and almost ended your life,” I reminded him.
“So how do we know you didn’t do the same to them?” I added.
I could catch the anger in his eyes. But he quickly covered it and gave me a bitter smile.
“It is… But I’m not interested in committing the same atrocities as my mother. Please don’t worry,” he stated in a melancholic tone.
But that little trick wouldn’t fool me.
“Then, where’s the proof? How can we know what you said is a fact?” I decided to corner him.
“I’ll prove it, Your Majesty.” He returned his gaze to the press.
“I will invite you to visit the place where I locked them so you can see with your own eyes how I treat them,” he clarified.
As he continued his speech and answered the journalists’ questions, I spoke to Lilieth using Telepathy.
[You are connected with Lilieth.]
‘This isn’t right. He acted as if he had expected this,’ I said worriedly.
‘He probably did the worst thing to those succubi,’ Lilieth replied without looking at me.
Since we predicted he was doing this to eliminate the succubi who opposed him, we had two bad guesses.
First, Letos tortured the succubi by starving them until they agreed to become his soldiers. In other words, his goal was to strengthen himself or his troops.
And the second one was the worst. Letos made all of them his sex slaves by force. Something similar to his wives but with lower status. So he just had to trigger us and make us take all his sex slaves.
He would pretend to be sad before he allowed it. But when we could get them, he just had to snap his fingers and the succubi would die.
That way the public would think we were the ones who killed the prisoners and that would trigger a revolution. Although I was not sure about it, his calm reaction to what I said indicated he would take the second option.
‘Is there any other way to save them?’ I asked again. Even though they were demons, they didn’t do anything wrong. I wanted to save them if I could.
‘The only thing that can save them is death. But we might be able to save a succubus or two if he hasn’t contracted her yet,’ answered Lilieth. From the tone of her voice, I could catch her anger.
We didn’t expect… Even though our goal was to help the succubi, in the end, we had no other option than to sacrifice them.
Letos’ voice broke our concentration and brought our attention back to the stage.
“I think that’s all I can say. Thank you. Next, Her Highness, Lilieth, will give her opinion on this matter on behalf of His Majesty,”
After that, he got off the podium and sat on another sofa.
