The Incubus System Chapter 524. He is Exceptional, Not Ordinary.
"She did it just for fun. Adding her collection to be exact. I don't think it has anything to do with it," Nefaris guessed.
"Maybe it's some kind of her lifetime goal or something. Zatan's life goal is money and Beel's life goal is food. She could be just like them," Lord Damon gave another guess.
Followed by Lilieth's guess.
"That could be, if--- she doesn't have a trust issue with men. The main problem is her trauma," she added.
Lord Damon let out a mocking scoff.
"Maybe she has tasted Letos' cock," he said in a nonchalant tone.
It made us turn to him.
"She is a queen. Some demon queens are too full of themselves and overconfident. Sometimes they take what they can't chew. In the end, they fell on a bastard male demon," Lord Damon added before he glanced at Nefaris and me in turn.
"Don't we already have one example here?" he continued.
In an instant, I could catch clear displeasure on Nefaris' face.
"Ehem. Pardon me. I didn't fall for Ethan but gave myself up," she clarified.
I exhaled tiredly and decided to continue my dinner.
'Oh, God… Here we go again.' I knew they would argue, again.
"Oh really? I thought you didn't want to drink the incubus' blood?" sneered Lord Damon.
"He is a Nephilim. Not a mere incubus. He is exceptional, not ordinary. So stop blabbing like you know everything," Nefaris blurted unhappily.
Arrogantly, Lord Damon lifted his chin, folded his arms in front of his chest, and leaned his back on his chair. His typical smug smile on his lips.
"I know everything. I am the king, remember?" he said proudly.
I turned to Lilieth hoping she would stop their argument, so we could have a peaceful discussion again. But she didn't seem to care. Instead, she shoved her food into her mouth nonchalantly and treated it all as a show.
So I decided to stop them.
"You know. It doesn't matter anymore. It's just my random question, we can skip it."
This was a little weird since I was the youngest among them yet I acted more mature for things like this. Even though they indeed had more experience than me, they easily got carried away with their emotions when it came to their pride or dignity, especially Lord Damon and Nefaris. I wondered if all the death demons had the same personality as them.
"It is a random question. But from there, we can find her motive," said Lilieth out of the blue. She sounded calm.
"Maybe this has something to do with the human world and her past?" said Luna suddenly.
I was surprised since my generals and Foxy usually stay silent throughout dinner due to the three royal demons' presence.
"Oh, it could be," I welcomed her statement.
"But what is it? Hasn't she ever had contact with humans?" said Nefaris.
"I've heard of a skill that can turn back time. Maybe something to do with it. Even though she has moved on, I know she can't accept what she has done to her own kin," said Lord Damon.
It was my first time hearing it. I was about to open my mouth to ask more, but Ivy interrupted me.
"I thought it was just a myth?"
"Some say it's bullshit. Some say it isn't. But it's forbidden for sure since it will disturb the three worlds' balance," Lord Damon warned.
"That skill exist in the human world?" I asked in disbelief. I didn't find this from Erebus' memory, so I assumed he didn't know about it.
"According to myth, yes. But I don't know where it is and luckily, my dead brother didn't know either. Or he would turn the human world upside down to find it and change his fate," replied Lord Damon.
"I see..." I said quietly. Again I was silent and put the food in my mouth. My mind went to my human dad. I wondered if I could change his fate with that skill.
"I know what you're thinking, Damian. And you better not do it," Lord Damon blurted out as if he could read my mind. His seriousness was evident in his tone of voice. His eyes that were fixed on me also showed the same.
"One small thing will change a lot in the future. It also changed many people's fates. It could be better. But it could be worse. For sure, death will be replaced by another death. One or many," Lilieth warned with the same seriousness.
In other words, if I changed the past and didn't let my father die, someone else would take his place. Or maybe many people would replace him.
"I understand," I said obediently. But it was hard for me to just let it go.
Lord Damon exhaled tiredly.
"I don't get it. Why are you still thinking that weak human," he blurted out in a nonchalant tone.
*Ba-thump!*
My heart suddenly beat fast. His words triggered me. I was upset and glared at him without hesitation.
"Please don't mock my dad." Although I tried to say as calm as possible, my anger was clear in the tone of my voice. I was mad. So mad. But on the other hand, I knew Lord Damon had done a lot for me. Still, that didn't mean he could insult my human father.
It silenced him. The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned unpleasant.
"He may be weak for you, but the fact that he sacrificed his life for the human world proves that he is strong," I emphasized.
"Right. I forgot humans value these kinds of things. Morality, heroism, and such," he said without taking his eyes off me. A frown on his forehead for whatever reason.
"Yes. I grew up with that kind of thing. At least I know how to value them." I put my eating utensils away and took a sip of my glass.
"I'm full. Thank you for the dinner." I decided to end my dinner even though I was only half full to calm myself down.
"I'll go back to my room first. Goodnight, everyone." I didn't want to argue with anyone or to spoil the dinner. But if I stayed there I was sure it would turn bad.
Without getting up from my seat, I used my Teleportation skill.
