The eminence of a true king

"Idiot!"

Zeta said coldly.

The sixth seat of [Night Raid] is a female Therianthrope of the Golden Leopard Clan, with blonde hair, large cat ears, purple eyes, and a long tail.

Her strength is enough to rank among the top three in Night Raid, with only Alpha being superior to her. At the same time, her resentment towards the [Cult of Diablos] and her respect for Leon are also among the highest.

"Humph!!"

Zeta shook off the red blood on his hand and showed an expression of disgust. The blood of the man who insulted his lord was simply filthy in his opinion.

Unlike other members of the courtyard, Zeta can be considered very lucky from a certain perspective, but she can also be considered the unluckiest.

She was not abandoned even after being discovered with [Demonic Possession]. Zeta's parents loved their daughter deeply, and not only did they not abandon her, they even tried to find a cure.

But unfortunately, [The Diablos Cult] discovered the existence of Zeta.

So the cult instigated other tribes to cause disputes. They killed Zeta's tribe, killed Zeta's parents who protected Zeta, and even killed her younger brother in front of the girl.

This hatred was deep, and she fell into a darkness deeper than Alpha!

But that's why.

When Zeta met Leon and was rescued from this pool of darkness, her sincere love and respect for Leon was immediately brought to the peak.

Even to the point of being a little dangerous.

But now someone was actually insulting her master, her beloved in front of her. Zeta, who was usually cold, just wanted to turn Grease into ashes!

Tear your body and soul to pieces!

"Everyone, please control your emotions."

"...Understood , Alpha-sama." xN

"Let's go to Midnight-sama. He should have rescued people."

In the fortress...

"Are you already showing symptoms?"

Leon found Claire Kagenou.

Compared to other girls who are basically locked in a cage like a wild beast, it can be said that she is receiving an enhanced version of luxury treatment.

Four magical chains bound the girl's limbs and were firmly fixed beneath the wall. It seemed as if she had been kidnapped while she was sleeping. The girl was still wearing a light nightgown.

Leon glanced at her a few times and didn't care.

[Well, Alpha is still healthier. Now that the cult is being forced to such an extent, not all of the top tiers have such a big battle with the bloodline concentration.]

It seems that Night Raid is indeed a headache for the Diablos Cult. A large number of [Demonic Possessions] were stolen from them, causing the progress bar of several of the cult's experiments to be suspended.

The hero blood that Claire Kagenou inherited was far less than that of the Seven Shadows. To be honest, it was only at a common courtyard level.

"Ah!!"

"...No wonder you're so locked up. You're being quite wild."

Leon tilted his head to avoid the attack.

He looked at the black-haired girl in front of him with interest. Even though her limbs were locked, she could still fight with her only weapon, her teeth.

"Tch, you avoided that? You..."

Clang!

Before Claire could say anything, she suddenly realized that the chains binding her had been broken.

The young man in beautiful clothes in front of her seems to have a different style than the person who kidnapped her.

"Huh? Wait, if I remember correctly, you're the second prince of Palletia, aren't you?"

"That's right, if you hadn't recognized me, I wouldn't have saved you..."

"Just kidding, okay, you're free now."

"...Although I don't know why Your Highness is here. Thank you for saving me. You, what are you doing, let me go!"

Before Claire could react, Leon had already grabbed one of her hands and feet, carefully caressing them.

"Even if you save me, I have no intention of compromising with you! Your Highness, please respect me!"

The girl became shy and irritated, she subconsciously wanted to fight back, but found that she couldn't move for some reason and could only let MOE control her hands and feet.

"...It's really special. Don't make a noise. I'm treating you for [Demonic Possession]."

"You said...what? This can be cured? But not even the Holy Archbishop's healing magic can cure it."

Claire Kagenou's eyes widened. She immediately forgot about Leon's touch on her just now, and quickly asked nervously.

"Tch, that's because the Archbishop is a member of the Diablos cult. Although they can't actually cure, we are the only ones in the world who have mastered the treatment method."

Under Leon's magical power.

Claire was surprised to discover that the originally terrifying black spots from the [Demon Possession] had visibly disappeared from her body.

Soon his hands and feet returned to normal.

Claire breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

Although she still didn't know what was going on, she sincerely thanked Leon at that moment.

After all, in this world, [Demonic Possession] is equivalent to the Black Death. Anyone who is discovered to have [Demonic Possession], even if they are a prince or princess, will be thrown out on the spot.

Claire had symptoms for a long time, but she never told her parents because she heard there was no cure, so she could only hide it.

"Huh? I feel stronger."

"Try your strength, then."

Thud!

Claire didn't hesitate, she gathered her magical power and expelled it, destroying the wall that trapped her.

Leon raised his eyebrows. She has nice legs, but this girl doesn't care about what she wears when she fights?

Claire realized she was still wearing a nightgown, and this kicking technique showed more than it should have.

Suddenly, his face turned red with embarrassment, he gritted his teeth and glared at Leon.

"Did you see that?"

"It's clear as day."

"...Please forget about it."

If he hadn't been her savior, this girl might have attacked him.

Leon raised the corners of his lips happily. It's really rare for a noble daughter to have such a straightforward and irritable personality.

He casually untied his cloak and placed it over her shoulders.

"Okay, now listen to the whole story. The person who kidnapped you is the [Cult of Diablos]. They are a group of villains hiding in the shadows of history, trying to take over the world and resurrect the Demon King. And I am the leader of [Night Raid], Midnight."

He extended an invitation to the black-haired girl.

"Do you want to join us, Claire Kagenou?"
