"What!?"
Ophis' response was automatic and she immediately put her hand up to her mouth after shouting! Shit! I shouted at the demon lord! Andromeda and Pyra were both openly glaring at her and Ophis mumbled out an apology before she swallowed and spoke.
"T-Thank you for your kindness, but I'm okay. I'll just bath in the servant's quarters like all the other slaves. For a slave to join the demon lord is a bit..."
"Do I need to repeat myself, Ophis?"
Floid's eyes bored into her like a spear and Ophis realized that what Floid said wasn't a request. It was an order. She swallowed again before she slowly nodded and finally started to take her clothes off. She was wearing a pair of trousers and a tattered shirt that has seen far better days. She peeled it off her skin and then she slowly made her way toward the bath. Ophis had an amazing figure and she knew it. Most of it was due to her genetics. Her mother was a very high-ranking demon and even if Ophis never met her, she knew from stories that her mother was very beautiful.
Ophis had an hourglass body. Her breasts and hips sizes wouldn't lose to Pyra! Her skin was purple and her hair down there was a lighter shade of purple just like the hair on her head.
Once she stepped into the bath she let out a sigh of contentment. How long has it been since she had a bath like this? A hundred years? No, it was more than that! I haven't even relaxed properly since I led the demon army!
Ophis closed her eyes for a moment to really allow herself to soak into the water but someone clearing their throat made her look up again. She saw the demon lord looking at her with a raised brow and she blushed again. She forgot he was even here! She was enjoying the water so much that she forgot about him. Floid waved her closer and Ophis stood up and walked towards him till she was standing in front of him. Her hands were covering her breasts and her privates and she wasn't looking at Floid. Floid leaned back into Pyra again before he told her to sit down. Ophis' eyes widened!
He wants me to sit down in front of him!? What is wrong with this man? Ophis let out a frustrated cry in her heart before she turned and sat between his legs while raising her knees to her chest. She felt so shy as she held her legs tightly. She has never been this close to a man before. Something is hitting my back!
What exactly is the demon lord trying to do here? It's not normal for a slave to bathe with the demon lord like this.
"I want to ask you something, Ophis. You were there when your father fought against the undead, weren't you? Retell the battle to me,"
Floid was still leaning back into Pyra as he asked this. Ophis was surprised by the question. But she didn't think too much about it as she started to talk. She was there when her father fought against the leader of the undead so she knew almost everything about that battle. The demons and the undead were once allies but the undead decided to betray the demons and side with the devils during the war. Her father didn't do anything to them at first since it didn't make a difference to him if they were fighting for the devils. The undead are strong, but they were not strong enough to challenge her father at all so he didn't care.
But when it started to become an annoyance was when the undead started giving the devils tips on where to attack the demons! The undead were once part of the demons, so they knew all the strongholds and they also knew most of the demon shelters! The devils started to attack the demons strategically! They would come in and kill a lot of women and children before retreating using a portal and they would repeat this over and over again! Her father couldn't overlook this! He became pissed at the undead because of their involvement! If they didn't want to fight alongside the demons, it was fine with him, but he would never accept this stupidity! Did they think he was weak because he simply let them go?
The former demon king immediately launched an attack on the undead. The undead never even expected it because they thought the demon lord wasn't interested in attacking them! Their forces tried their best against the demons, but they had no chance against the demon lord! The demon lord managed to fight all the upper-class undead singlehandedly and if not for Rosavellt stepping in and begging at the last moment, he would have completely eradicated the royal family and made all the undead into slaves!
Floid asked Ophis if there was any special tactic that the demon lord used against the undead. It was obvious that Floid was now interested in them and Ophis wondered what this ruthless man could be planning. Ophis has seen the brutality of Floid firsthand and she knew that he was just as, if not more ruthless, than her father. If Floid were to get his hands on the undead, none of them would live. His methods are brutal and thorough. But Ophis didn't care about that. She was a demon and her loyalty was to the demon lord. It didn't matter the sort of brutality that the demon lord uses against other races, she will still give him her loyalty!
Ophis spoke up calmly.
"There was a time during my father's fight when I saw him use a flame skill to surround all the undead that were attacking him. I'm not sure what skill it was because I never saw him use it again, but it was very effective against the undead. It killed hundreds of them at once,"
Floid's eyes widened slightly but he was able to get himself back quickly before anyone noticed. Fire? The demon lord used flames to fight against the undead? If that is the case then it is going to be even easier! There are almost a thousand different flame-based skills in the world, but there are only ten of them that I know can work against high-level demons. When I was the hero playing that game, I read about all the skills in the wiki! Even if there were a lot of skills that I could use against demons, I couldn't use most of them because all of them needed a high amount of Mana input and j just didn't have that much Mana!
But the demon lord doesn't have to worry about that at all, did he?! He had the blessing of almost unlimited Mana and so do I! Floid leaned back even more as he felt Pyra run her hand through his hair. If he played his cards right, he could deal a heavy blow to the traitorous undead! But Floid didn't want to just deal them a blow. Food wanted to destroy them completely. Floid wanted to humiliate them.
If there is one thing that Floid hates, it is traitors. The undead were part of the demon army and they decided to go and join the devils. If something like that ever happened in my reign, I would have wiped them out completely. I wonder why my predecessor was so lenient with them? Even if Rosavellt begged him, that is still not a good enough reason for him to forgive them. A single girl cannot pay for the crimes of an entire race. That is not how punishment works. Well, I will find out if there are other reasons later. For now, I have to go and read up on the flames that the demon lord used.
"Uhm... My lord,"
Ophis' voice reached Floid and he opened one eye as he looked down at her. She was trying to ask him something but she was reluctant to talk. Floid urged her on with simple encouragement and she spoke with respect.
"Why did you decide to come to me for this? I feel that your head maid, Rosavellt, would have far more information than me. I don't have as much information as her,"
There was silence in the bath after Ophis asked this and Ophis immediately became terrified. Did she overstep her bounds? Did she ask something she shouldn't have?
Even if Ophis was the one that asked the question, all the other maids were also curious. Both Pyra and Andromeda were curious about what sort of reason Floid had for this. It would be far easier for Floid to go to Rosavellt for this information! Why would he come to a lowly slave?
Floid hummed. Why didn't I go to Rosavellt? What a loaded question.
He leaned back again and he waved his hand dismissively. He wasn't going to indulge the curiosity of a mere slave.
"Rosavellt is busy right now. You can leave, Ophis,"
Ophis immediately stood from the bath while holding her hand across her breasts. She gladly grabbed a towel from the rack at the side and she bowed respectfully as she walked through the portal that Andromeda opened for her! She was glad that she managed to survive there! If the demon lord thought that she asked an invasive question then he could have easily punished her! She just got out of there as quickly as possible once he let her go!
Once she was gone, Floid told Andromeda to come and join him and Andromeda shed her clothes as she slid into the bath and came to wrap her hands around his neck for a kiss.
No one really knew why he didn't ask Rosavellt and Floid wouldn't say anything because he felt this matter was too sensitive. Floid knew that he was still cautious around Rosavellt, he couldn't help his paranoid side. But only time would tell what would happen.
