Chapter 91: Hostility from the Abyss
Within the Succubus Castle, Charles's departure did not bring immediate tranquility to the castle.
Succubus Queen Lilith stood furiously at the very center of the Succubus Castle. She continuously manipulated the control core of the castle, attempting to trace any sign of the intruder who had previously invaded it.
"Queen Majesty, we have scoured the entire castle, yet we still haven't found any trace of the intruder!" A succubus guard approached Succubus Queen Lilith with trembling steps, reporting to her.
Lilith slowly lowered her head, her eyes fixed intently on the succubus guard.
"Do you have anything else to report? If not, then hurry up and continue searching for the intruder's trace!" Hearing these words, the succubus guard scrambled out, almost tripping over herself in her haste.
Succubus Queen Lilith's anger had reached an uncontrollable level.
She had originally hoped that by hosting this banquet, she could use it as an opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the succubus and the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels.
Although her power as the Succubus Queen was indeed formidable, it paled in comparison to the might of Lucifer, the King of the Fallen Angels.
Succubus Queen Lilith had already foreseen through her crystal ball the imminent crisis that was about to unfold.
Without the aid of the Fallen Angels, the succubus were likely to suffer a devastating blow in the impending crisis.
She never expected the situation to escalate to such an extent.
What was meant to be a banquet to foster closer ties between the succubus and the Fallen Angels had abruptly turned into a gathering that deepened the enmity between the two races.
Succubus Queen Lilith understood very well that if this matter were left unresolved, the Fallen Angels would completely lose their trust in the succubus.
However, after spending an extensive amount of time manipulating the castle's control core in a futile attempt to find clues about the intruder, Succubus Queen Lilith had to devise an alternative strategy to break the deadlock.
Succubus Queen Lilith walked directly out from the center of the castle. She intended to check on her daughter Rose and the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels.
At that moment, Rose and the Fourth Prince were both in the banquet hall.
However, the only ones surrounding the Fourth Prince were the guards of the Fallen Angels.
After the recent crisis, the guards of the Fallen Angels had completely lost their trust in the guards of the Succubus Castle.
Some of the Fallen Angel guards even believed that the attack on the Fourth Prince might have been orchestrated by the succubus.
Not far from the Fourth Prince, Rose was pretending to have a very panicked expression.
Internally, Rose was actually very pleased. She felt that after this incident, a marriage alliance between her and the Fourth Prince was definitely impossible.
Rose even took advantage of the recent downtime to teleport all the materials she had promised to provide to Charles.
What Rose needed to do now was to cover up any traces of her assistance to Charles.
As long as neither Lilith nor the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels discovered it, Rose's plan would be flawless.
While Rose was contemplating these matters, the doors of the banquet hall were pushed open. Succubus Queen Lilith entered with an apologetic expression on her face.
Lilith walked up to the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels. She did not dismiss the guards surrounding him.
"Are you alright? I have just inspected the entire Succubus Castle, and I can now confirm that there are no intruders. The intruder has been driven away."
Lilith hoped that her words would reassure the Fourth Prince that Succubus Castle was now safe.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, one of the Fallen Angel guards immediately questioned, "Queen Majesty, are you sure you didn't find any clues about the intruder?
As far as I know, Succubus Castle is located at the very center of your succubus territory. Could an intruder really enter and leave Succubus Castle so easily? Isn't the security of Succubus Castle a bit too lax?"
Lilith did not get angry in the face of his questioning.
Because Lilith also found it very surprising that an intruder could suddenly appear in Succubus Castle.
"We will continue to investigate, but we truly haven't found any clues about the intruder."
Succubus Queen Lilith ultimately chose to be honest. She believed that only by doing so could she gain the understanding of the Fallen Angels.
The guard of the Fallen Angels wanted to continue questioning, but the Fourth Prince interrupted him directly.
"That's enough, you don't need to question further. I believe Queen Majesty also does not wish to see intruders appear. Thank you for your efforts, Queen Majesty."
Although the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels had suffered a severe blow, he remained very graceful. He did not make things too difficult for Succubus Queen Lilith.
"I'm not tired at all, and I must apologize to you once again. It was due to my negligence that an intruder appeared in Succubus Castle. I can promise you that Succubus Castle is now very safe."
Succubus Queen Lilith was naturally very grateful for the words of the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels.
She still hoped that he could stay in Succubus Castle. However, Lilith also knew that such a wish was unlikely to be realized.
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels forced a faint smile on his face.
"Queen Majesty, thank you very much for your hospitality. However, I feel that I cannot continue to stay in Succubus Castle. I need to return to the territory of the Fallen Angels as soon as possible. I will also inform my father of this matter.
If you need my father's assistance, he will certainly help you. After all, the succubus territory is not just the territory of succubus. It also belongs to the Abyssal race.
My father will definitely ensure the safety of the Abyssal lands. So he will surely send someone to help you find clues about the intruder."
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels understood his father Lucifer very well.
Although Lucifer's title was merely the King of the Fallen Angels, in reality, as the most noble existence among the Abyssal races.
The King of the Fallen Angels was the ruler of the entire Abyss.
Lucifer would definitely be very concerned about the appearance of an intruder in the lands of the Abyssal race.
Succubus Queen Lilith broke into a radiant smile: "If that's the case, then we are truly grateful! The King of the Fallen Angels offering help to us ssuccubus is something we couldn't hope for more.
With the help of the King of the Fallen Angels, we will soon be able to find clues about the intruder. Once we find the intruder, we succubus will make sure he pays a heavy price."
Lilith said these words with a fierce tone.
Lilith harbored deep hatred for the intruder. Succubus Castle had not experienced an invasion for hundreds of years.
Hearing Lilith's words, the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels nodded: "Since you agree, I will return as soon as possible to inform my father about this matter."
At this moment, the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels had stabilized his condition.
Although he could no longer continue to fight, with the protection of his guards, he could still return to the territory of the Fallen Angels. Once he was back in the Abyss, he would no longer need to worry about his own safety.
Succubus Queen Lilith led everyone in Succubus Castle to see off the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels to the gate. They watched as the convoy of the Fallen Angels departed.
After the convoy left, Succubus Queen Lilith turned around and looked coldly at the succubi behind her.
"Have I been too lenient with you all? You can't even find a single intruder?! You can't even find any clues about him!"
Lilith was extremely disappointed in her subordinates.
Next to Lilith, Rose was also in a very bad mood.
Rose suddenly realized that her actions had put Charles in a very dangerous situation.
Charles was now not only an enemy of the Fallen Angels but had also become an enemy of her own succubus clan.
More importantly, Charles was now already facing hostility from the Abyss.
Any Abyssal race that Charles encountered next would be directly hostile to him. Charles didn't even know that he had been marked by enmity from the Abyss.
"I must quickly inform Charles of this crucial information. If he isn't prepared, he could suffer greatly when facing the Abyssal races."
Succubus Princess Rose couldn't help but think in her mind.
Although Rose was desperate to provide this intelligence to Charles, she couldn't act directly now. She had to stand beside her mother, pretending to be extremely alarmed.
If Succubus Queen Lilith found out that the intruder had invaded Succubus Castle with her daughter's help and severely injured the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels, Lilith would be extremely disappointed in her daughter.
Even though Rose had some disagreements with her mother before, she didn't want to disappoint her.
After all, Rose was very aware that her mother, Lilith, had always been very caring towards her. Otherwise, Rose wouldn't be able to move so freely as a succubus.
Most succubus couldn't move freely, they were all under the control of Succubus Queen Lilith.
