"I have this new title called the [Enemy of the Succubi],"
"Oh, the commander has that as well. Basically, succubi aren't supposed to be conquered and used for an individual's pleasure, but I don't really mind, and even though the title makes succubi hate you, I would never hate you," She says with a smile.
Huh… I see.
"How is Infernum? Is it hot?" I asked my maid, and she was a bit surprised as she probably wasn't expecting me to know about that place.
"To be fully honest, Mistress, I do not come from Infernum. In fact, every demon besides the commander doesn't come from Infernum," She responds.
"Really?"
"Yes. Demons are mostly associated with Infernum, but those that live in the hellish climate are only the strongest of demons. Us weaker demons normally come from planes dense with demonic energy… and the same could be said for angels,"
"I don't think you're weak," I said, causing the succubus to blush a bit bashfully before hiding behind me.
"P-Please don't say such embarrassing things," She says, holding tightly onto my dress.
All of a sudden, the wall beside us exploded, and even more, assassins flooded the hallway, but instead of going for us, they just split up, going both ways.
CLANG CLANG CLANG
And just as I was about to follow them, I noticed knights coming from both sides of the hallway and immediately sliced up the assassins at an impressive speed.
Oh, did I accidentally make something shift towards my advantage?
"Oh, Miss, please return to your quarters," A tall knight quickly approaches me after waving the blood off his blade and sheathing it beside his hip.
"Ummm… What was that?" I asked, acting a bit frightened in order to not raise any suspicion around myself.
"Somebody has broken into one of the four great vaults, and as it takes a while to lock them, a few other nobles have been sending assassins to try and retrieve the information. There is something other things, but unfortunately, I am not allowed to inform you of anything else," The man apologizes.
What a polite and humble man…
"Thank y-"
"Dean, may I ask her nobility something?" A familiar voice calls out, and a familiar woman walks up to the both of us, glaring deeply.
"Stop glaring," The man says in a cold voice, causing the familiar drake knight to fix her face and then turn back towards us.
"It's fine, it's fine. The little knight here can ask me a question," I said with a polite yet taunting tone that caused the tall knight beside me to flinch.
It seems he thought I was angry at her, but that was far from the truth… I just wanted to see what this girl was made of.
"Where did you come from when you entered through my window?" She asked, causing me to frown slightly.
"*sigh*... I already told you I was running from assassins on the roof,"
"But the roof is slanted. How is that possible?"
"But it is possible,"
"Tch… Anyway, why were you running from assassins? Did you do anything wrong?" She asked, and her face ticked me off a bit as she thought she had checkmated me.
"That is nothing you should be asking such a young miss as myself. I have my own reasons," I responded, and she couldn't refute as I was "nobility".

"Fol, just let it go," The man says.
"Wait, I have one last question… How was such a 'young miss' like yourself able to run away from assassins?"
Everybody's ears perked up as it seemed they were all curious as to why this was possible.
"Lemme tell you something," I said as I walked towards her.
I then placed my chin on her shoulder and turned towards her ear while eyeing the rest of the guards behind her.
"Go ahead," She responded in a taunting manner.
[True Queen Overlords Dominating Presence]
"This is a monster kingdom…." I muttered into her ear, and the air around us seemed to have been quintupled in density.
The only one not having any trouble breathing or standing was my maid, who stared blankly at the female knight named: Fol.
I heard her click her tongue, which caused me to frown a bit as I was expecting a more fearful reaction… but when I backed up and looked at her face, it looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"Sir, can you lend me this knight to protect me? I'm sure she wouldn't make much of a difference anyway… Plus, I'll even reform her if you give me permission," I asked the man beside me, but he knew it wasn't a request but an order.
"Please, do what you want with her but do not break her… Well, if you even can because she's pretty dense, and I think she does need a bit of reforming; otherwise, she'll get killed later on when she doesn't understand her limit," He responds.
And surprisingly, Fol wasn't against it.
"Heh, I just want to see you die by the hands of the assassins," She mutters.
"Fol," The man glares at her again, causing her to shut up.
"Geez, fine, fine. I'll protect you, but if it comes down to me losing my life or you losing your life, I'd rather let them take your life,"
"Fo-"
But before the man could scold her again, I cut him off.
"Fine by me," I responded and quickly walked away, Fol following me with impressive etiquette as she stood on the left side of me, avoiding my maid who was on my right side.
She also walked just a bit behind me, exactly like my maid.
Seems she isn't hopeless…
Soon, we arrived at her room which I decided to call my home for now, and gave a stupid excuse that she didn't believe in the slightest.
"My room was destroyed by those assassins so I'll be staying here for a while," I muttered and scouted the room, finding a few things that I could use.
"Tch… I really don't like you," She muttered but I quickly grabbed her wrist and brought her in… for a slap.
SLAP
I slapped her across the face.
"You need to learn your place," I muttered.
