After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

With such a calm attitude, she slowly walked through the crowd.

Sudden--

"Um?"

A strange and powerful breath came from a dark corner.

Not only was there no intention to hide it, but it was even deliberately enhanced to make her notice it.

The witch looked around and saw that the other humans did not react.

It seemed like an invitation directed at me alone.

The former leader naturally would not refuse such a small matter. After thinking for a moment and sneering faintly, Villian walked towards the source of the breath.

"Don't you have something to talk to me about? Why don't you show up?"

The witch lady said this after arriving at a dark and deserted place.

The next second, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, a figure appeared behind her almost instantly.

"Long time no see, witch, when was the last time we met?"

A slightly flirtatious female voice.

Villian turned her head and found a woman with long burgundy hair, crimson eyes, and wearing a long brown coat standing there.

Charlotte Elizabeth, a high-ranking vampire, the second-in-command of the vampire clan, one of the thirteen leaders, and the most likely successor to the position of the vampire true ancestor.

As high-ranking members of the demon clan, the two knew each other before.

But we were just acquaintances, and there wasn't much interaction or relationship worth mentioning.

For the unsuspecting Villian, the first thing that came to mind when a high-level vampire showed up in this situation was that their intentions were naturally not very friendly.

"Well, long time no see, Charlotte Elizabeth. The last time we met... if I remember correctly, it was at the memorial service for the previous vampire ancestor, your brother."

Villian turned around with a smile.

Although the greeting seemed casual and relaxed, his vigilance was actually at its highest level.

Not only did he quietly begin to gather his magic power, he even placed his hand on the wand at his waist.

As long as this guy dares to make any unusual moves, she will take action immediately without hesitation.

Then he responded:

"But you, why didn't you stay in the City of Eternal Night? Why did you come here? Tourism? If you chose this place for tourism, you have very poor taste."

"I agree with that. A classless capital ruled by a classless, fallen royal family is really nothing to look at."

Charlotte smiled back.

He also didn't forget to make fun of Heidi who was not present.

"As for why I'm here, can't you guess? Compared to my affairs, you are more important right now, right?"

The vampire paced slowly as he spoke.

But in order not to irritate Villian, he always kept a considerable distance from her.

After all, if a real fight comes, Charlotte's strength is still not enough.

"You should have died along with the witch army, so why are you here? And you even look like you're on the side of humans."

The vampire girl said, grinning and showing her canine teeth in a slightly threatening manner:

"Are you... betraying me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Villian had even begun to think about what kind of technique to use to defeat the enemy in one move.

The instant death curse is not very effective against undead guys.

If you mindlessly use a lot of powerful spells, it will affect the surrounding refugees - this will cause trouble for Aize.

It's really a bit troublesome.

This is a question of thinking about how to do it.

Charlotte's questioning itself did not cause Villian to hesitate at all.

After thinking for a moment, she replied with a smile:

"Don't call it treason, that's too harsh. I'd rather call it... uh, retiring to get married? The Demon King wouldn't be so stingy as to not even give me some time alone, would he?"

As soon as the word "marriage" came out of her mouth, Charlotte's face twitched almost immediately, and her smile instantly became extremely ugly and forced.

Almost subconsciously, he blurted out:

"How did you get married? Don't talk like you've already succeeded..."

He quickly realized that this was a bit inappropriate and there was a risk of letting something slip, so he quickly changed his words:

"Ahem, no... I mean, treason is treason, why so many excuses!?"

Although he changed his words quickly, it seemed to be true.

But Villian still keenly caught the panic just now.

He narrowed his eyes in confusion.

Charlotte, perhaps to make up for the broken defense just now, no longer caring about her image or the fact that she was just acting, put her hands on her hips and started firing at full force:

"So, witches, after all, aren't much different from humans. They're all the same, trash. Yeah, trash~"

"Just wait, when I return to the territory, the first thing I'll do is...ahhhh——"

I couldn't finish my words.

Because Villian had taken the first step.

The accumulated magic power gathered in the magic wand, and when she was careless, he suddenly pulled it out and swung it at her.

Charlotte was caught off guard and was hit directly.

After spinning twice in the air, he fell heavily to the ground with a scream.

The black light then spread from the area hit, spreading to her entire body, and then turned into a chain-like object, binding her tightly and making her unable to move.

I wanted to go big and kill it instantly.

But I also feel that this guy's words are incoherent and there seems to be something wrong.

After thinking it over, Villian decided to show mercy.

Control her first, and then bring her to Aize for punishment.

So they used this trick - it was the same chain that bound Leah in the Tafia incident more than a month ago.

Not only is it extremely strong on a physical level, it can also limit magical methods such as transfiguration.

So there is basically no possibility of escaping.

Moreover, in order to prevent this guy from making too much noise, Villian carefully operated the chain to tighten her mouth when she took action.

As a result, Charlotte couldn't even speak at this moment.

He could only be confused at first, then glared at Villian angrily, making some unclear "hum hum ah" sounds.

Villian didn't care.

"Want to say something? Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to say it when you meet Aize."

Then he sneered and put his wand back into his waist.

He snapped his fingers again, creating a human-sized puppet, carried the thing as if it were some trophy, and headed towards the study where Aize was in the palace.

Then--

“What… is going on!?”

Aize Leng, who was busy processing documents, looked up when he heard the noise and found that Villian had returned at some point.

There was even Charlotte, who was held up by a puppet and tied up with her mouth gagged.

The scene was so exciting that he shuddered and broke the pen in his hand.

When he stood up subconsciously, his knees hit the table, and he was knocked back to his seat.

"This guy is a high-level demon named Charlotte Elizabeth."

Villian, who still didn't understand what was happening, introduced it proudly.

"This girl took the initiative to contact me. I don't know why, so I just grabbed her."

smoothly?

Villian is certainly powerful, but Charlotte is also a serious leader-level fighter.

Even if there is a gap, normally it shouldn't be so embarrassing.

...No, that's not right.

Before discussing the strength of each other, the more important question is why these two people started fighting?

Aize's CPU almost burned out.

And Villian's narration continued:

"Aize, this guy is not only a high-ranking vampire, but he's also likely the next True Ancestor of the vampire clan. He must know something about the events in the royal capital."

Indeed, that is very well known.

But that's not right.

How can you say that? It's as if Villian doesn't know Charlotte's identity?

…Well, she really didn't know.

But Charlotte, who works in intelligence, knows Villian's situation. How could it be...

and many more.

Could this be what is meant by greeting?

Does this mean that he was trying to test or even provoke Villian while concealing his identity?!

Aize looked at Charlotte speechlessly.

The latter stared at him with a red face and even tears in his eyes.

The usual awe-inspiring and arrogant aristocratic temperament has disappeared without a trace.

It's pitiful to look at.

Ai Ze covered his face, sighed deeply, turned away with shameless eyes, and waved his hand quickly:

"No, that guy... well, that guy is one of us, let her go first."

"well?"

These words were so rare that Villian was stunned.

Then, she heard the whole story from Aize.

When he looked at Charlotte again, the latter, whose mouth was still stuffed, could no longer hold it in.

His face flushed crimson, and the tears in his blood-red eyes became more and more obvious.

He quickly snapped his fingers to cancel the spell.

"Cough cough cough—cough cough cough—"

Charlotte finally broke free from her restraints and stood up in an extremely awkward manner.

Having lost such a big face in front of Aize, she was a little furious and pointed at Villian without caring:

"You have no moral principles! You have no moral principles! How can you suddenly attack someone while they are talking? This doesn't count! I want to fight you one on one, until we die..."

"You still have the nerve to say that!?"
