Chapter 141 141 – Rogue Demons And A Bit Of Fun
Many days had passed since the overtaking of the Marquis kingdom by Haruki, and already the streets of the entire land reeked of blood, lust, and a lingering thirst for carnage. The once humble stores had turned into brothels, and the poignant merchants were peddling drugs as well as human slaves captured on their visit to their kingdom.
Yet these were the glaring corruption over the surface, what ran underneath the land in the shadows was a hundred folds more sinister. Walking through one such underground path, Haruki cloaked in a rag, came up to a brightly lit opening with a horde of demons cheering out loud. The dens these creatures had built underground were no different from a human city, with the only exception being the constant bloodshot and perversion at every corner.
However, as Haruki passed through the crowd to see what they were cheering, he was met with carnage instead of the perversion he'd witnessed so far.
'They found another adventurer's party in the forest?' Staring at the human bodies crushed to a pulp under the fist of a humongous demon, Haruki decided to slip away from the site before someone recognized who he was. 'I don't care what they do with humans, but if they keep hunting them down, then someone is bound to notice a pattern.'
Despite the ungodly feats of intimidation, he'd subjected them all to, it didn't seem to be enough to control an entire nation filled with impulsive demons. Not to mention, a lot of them were turning servants of their own, and these new servants had no idea what Haruki, their ultimate leader was capable of, and that made them arrogant.
'The servants in Laria are a lot more cooperative. It's just the Darians and Arians who are causing all the trouble.' Storming through the streets enshroud in absolute darkness, Haruki decided to teleport back to the Larian castle.
"Rose, I need-"
"I get it, he'll teleport you back to Laria now," speaking to each other through the demonic spies, Rose already knew what Haruki was trying to get at.
"Great, in the meantime, can you tell the others to get ready to depart from the castle?" To his request, Rose gave a curious hum, but then simply agreed.
Getting to a dark crevice in the underground town, it didn't take long before Haruki was teleported back to the Frost castle by Roselia's son. He's often wondered if he could simply take that ability as well, but given his promise to Rose, he knew better than to try anything harsh. Once the teleportation light around him disappeared, he was back in the Frost castle's throne room with a light migraine in his head.
'Ughhh, maybe a different teleportation ability will be better.' Caressing his head, he huffed out a tired sigh.
With his usual rounds around the duchies concluded, Haruki was off on his way to the servant's quarters. There, meeting up with Asuka and the rest, he wanted to take them off to a fuzzy place so they could all stretch their limbs and relax after the tiring events from recent days.
Making small jumps through his own teleportation ability, Haruki kept making the walk shorter and shorter, until eventually when Asuka's room came into sight, and he teleported himself in without any reservation.
Springing out into the room, the very first thing he saw was the group of his servants standing around naked with different outfits in their hands. All of a sudden as they noticed someone standing at the corner of the room watching them, they all jumped from shock screaming.
"What!?" Most shocked of all, Athena yelled.
Jumping in front of her mother, Alice's tail stood up from the shock.
Even Asuka, Margarette, and Riley were somewhat terrified, but upon realizing who it was, the tenseness in their shoulders dropped instantly.
"Geez master!" Picking up a pillow from the bed, Asuka threw it over at her master's face. "At least knock on the door, instead of dropping right in."
"Ahaha, Sorry, I forgot I had Rose tell you guys to get ready to leave," catching the pillow in his hands, he threw it back onto the bed.
Hearing Haruki's casual tone, Athena pulled the bedsheets off of the bed and covered up not only hers but Alice's body as well. Being the only two still not turned into demons, they felt embarrassed to be seen by Haruki naked.
"Where are we going anyway? And when can we get back to Aria?" Athena asked, flushed red over her cheeks.
Turning his attention to her, Haruki took a quick glance over the mother and daughter hiding themselves behind the bedsheets.
'Hiding your bodies now, after everything we'd done together?' Although their act struck him as odd, Haruki glanced right over it and answered.
"We're not going to Aria, instead, we're going to the neighboring kingdom," conjuring up a pair of shadow hands, Haruki picked up a dress with a laced shoulder that was obviously too short to cover anyone's bottom. "I want to infiltrate everyone around us, but I don't really trust the demons in my army to do anything half decent without months or even years of training."
Making the short blue dress float in front of Athena, Haruki urged her to dress herself in it.
"It's too short," she retorted.
"That's the point," he replied with a smirk. "I'm gonna need a load of attractive ladies around me if we're trying to get any information in another kingdom."
Letting out an annoyed grunt, Athena took the dress and began dressing herself with it. In the meantime, Haruki picked out more showy clothes for everyone else as well. For Asuka, he had picked out a short yellow skirt with just a top that showed off her cleavage as well as the underside of her breasts.
Thereafter, moving to Margarette, he made her wear a sparkling dark dress with a v-shape cut running down from her collar to her belly. Moving further down on the dress, it even had a slit on both sides for her thighs to stick right out of it.
As for Athena and Riley, given that they were both the same height, he made them wear matching pairs of skin-tight leather jeans with a brown leather top that showed off their chests and belly.
Once the preparations were all done, he decided to have a little fun and let them choose his clothes as well. However, that turned out to be his gravest mistake. One after the other, they kept cycling different clothes on him as if he was going to a fashion show, and by their giggling faces and smiles, Haruki knew they were all doing it on purpose.
"I never thought you guys wanted to mess with me so much," standing in front of the mirror in his androgynous demonic form, he watched himself being dressed like the female version of robin hood with his servants being his merry women.
'Now that I think about it, this isn't that bad of a disguise.' Realizing he could use the appearance to act as a lesbian royalty from Marquis kingdom, he felt thrilled by the idea of messing around with the people of the neighboring kingdom. 'This white shirt with the golden striped jacket, as well as the formal skinny light golden pants…Oh, yeah these brown leather boots too, they all fit so perfectly together.'[1]
Admiring the outfit, Haruki spread his hands wide open and beckoned the girls to come into his arms. Dressed like lavish royalty themselves, every one of them looked stunning and were sure to steal glances from even the most virtuous of men.
"You're all gonna be my pretend wives, that is until we can figure out how demons get married," his words, although said partly in jest, made them blush a cherry red.
[1] Just to be clear, Haruki is not changing bodies here, so he still has a d#ck down there, and even when he's using this disguise he's still in his demonic incubus form, minus the horns and tail(hidden with Mask presence).
