The Incubus System Chapter 520. Letos' Worries
Letos and Lilieth's PoV
Several black luxury royal cars entered the mansion's courtyard and stopped in front of the entrance. Soon, some succubi dressed like sexy bodyguards came out, followed by a purple-haired succubus who wore a dress that matched her hair. Her feet landed on the ground as she swept her gaze around before she got out of the car elegantly.
Letos, who was waiting for him at the entrance, immediately greeted her politely.
"Welcome to my mansion, Her Highness," he greeted, bowing his head.
Coldly, Lilieth answered with a nod and walked into his mansion without a word. Her succubi immediately followed them.
Just from her grumpy expression, Letos immediately grasped the cause. But as usual, he would make small talk and pretend he didn't know anything.
Swiftly, he walked to her side.
"I heard that the investigation is over, how did it go? Have you found the culprit yet?" he asked.
Despite her cold response, her expression remained unchanged. A long exhale came out of her mouth. Her annoyance was evident on her face.
"I haven't. The culprit is slick and professional. He didn't leave a trace," she replied without stopping or turning to look at him. She realized Letos hadn't found the Coffee shop and Game Center's CCTV footage. So she decided to remain silent.
"Not even a clue?" asked Letos, pretending shock and disbelief.
"Our only clue is the mysterious incubus. But I can't find him or get his identity," she stated clearly.
"Ah I see ..." He nodded repeatedly and turned to the front. A long exhale came out of his mouth.
"I never thought such a demon existed," he said in disappointment.
Once they arrived in the living room, Letos and Lilieth sat on the sofa. But instead of keeping their distance, Letos decided to sit by his side.
"So did you come to ask for my help? If your investigation is deadlocked, I can send some professionals to help you," he offered politely. His every word conveyed as if he was a loyal and trustworthy friend.
"No need, I just came to see you," Lilieth replied straight to the point.
Letos' eyes widened as he put on his surprised expression.
"Really?" A nervous chuckle came out of his mouth. A smile began to appear on his lips. "Oh, if you need my help, I don't mind either," he quickly added.
"I must return to the capital," she declared.
A frown of worry appeared on his forehead.
"Did something happen to the capital or the king?" he asked curiously. This was a genuine question.
"The attacker has been too quiet lately. I'm afraid he's planning something big. So I have to discuss this with the king." She glanced at him and gave him a sinister look. "Besides… I didn't find anything here and I'm not sure I'll find it any time soon."
"So I can go back to work tomorrow?" he asked for her clarification. "I mean I'm a little bored of doing nothing in my mansion and feel guilty about not being able to do anything to help you. On the other hand, I want to prove all your suspicions of me wrong. I'm innocent and have nothing to do with all of this," he explained.
"About that. I and the king haven't decided yet," she replied. Then she looked forward. Her expression remained cold.
"Indeed the investigation has been completed, but that does not mean it is over. All of this is a big case. A lot of demons died out of injustice and I can't forgive that."
Upon her statement, Letos immediately put on his worried expression.
"Yes, I can't forgive that either, Your Highness. It's torturing me since it happened in my territory and when you two were going to my place. That's why I followed your orders. I want to clear up all these misunderstandings and show that I'm on your side," he assured. As usual, he used this as his drama.
He held Lilieth's hand with both hands and smiled innocently. His eyes showed his fake sincerity, something he was used to.
"Please, believe me, Your Highness. I'm your loyal subject," he pleaded in a low voice.
Lilieth responded by glancing at him and releasing her hand coldly.
"It's not me who will decide that. But your act and loyalty," she hissed. Her threat was evident in her tone of voice.
Without further ado, Lilieth stood up from her seat.
"I will excuse myself. His Majesty is waiting for me." Then she moved her feet to the exit.
Quickly, Letos stood up and was about to escort her, but her succubi stopped him and raised their hands, indicating that she forbade him before they followed Lilieth.
"Please convey my thank you and my apologies to His Majesty," Letos shouted to say his goodbyes. Although this was not proper at least this could be an epilogue to his short act.
But the wicked smirk on his face showed something else. Since this meant he could continue his plan with his alliance. He planned to use this mess so the spider queen, Gargoyle king, and Blob king would think this was all the king's doing. From how he knew it, he could tell he knew this after accidentally overhearing Lilieth's conversation with one of her servants.
With a little bit of hyperbole, he was sure they would not hesitate to attack the king out of rage or fear. That way he could execute his plan faster.
"I will…" Lilieth answered without turning to look at him or stopping in her tracks. The same smirk on her lips.
An hour ago, Lord Damon had telepathed her that the other demon lords were in a meeting. So they should immediately make a move to attack Letos. Since all the preparations were done, so what Lilieth did was give the other demon lords a chance and stage drama for Letos.
'Now show me, Letos. Can your act help you?' she thought.
