Chapter 1267: Have I Become a Succubus? (Part 3)

Luo Quan, whose vanity was greatly satisfied, was in a very good mood, and a smile appeared on her face.

However, Nova was clearly very dissatisfied with the few words Pacquiao had just used to snap at her. With a cold face, she said, "Her Majesty Luoxi is about to inherit the position of Succubus Queen. This is her first time coming to her own territory, and she wants to visit her capital and palace."

"Although your territory is not particularly far from the Capital of Frenzied Desire, Her Majesty the Queen is not skilled at traveling on foot. Now, I will give you a chance to prove yourself: escort us to the Capital of Frenzied Desire."

"As you command," Pacquiao replied, lowering his head and eyes.

"Flying in the sky? Is it stable?" Luo Quan saw Pacquiao flapping his bat wings and immediately knew how Nova intended for her to be taken to the capital.

However, she did not particularly trust any mode of transportation other than airplanes; she always had a psychological shadow regarding them.

Seeing Luo Quan so resistant, Nova whispered in her ear, "Her Majesty the Queen, Blood-Winged Bat Demons are among the proudest types of demons in Hell. Being able to ride on their backs is a symbol of status. Many high-ranking demons never even get such an opportunity in their entire lives. I haven't even ridden one yet; it would be a great pity to miss such an opportunity."

Luo Quan said with a wry smile, "No way, do you have some misunderstanding about symbols of status? Can you become a noble just by riding on someone's head and treating them like an ox or a horse?"

Nova nodded, "In our Hell, that is how it is."

"That really is a hell of a joke," Luo Quan shook her head and chuckled.

"Don't hesitate, Her Majesty the Queen. If you wait any longer, Pacquiao might change his mind. You must know, even his master, Hasanks, might not necessarily be able to ride him."

"That is definitely impossible," Pacquiao said with a gloomy face. "My master would never hang such a thing on his lips like you do. If it weren't for Her Majesty the Queen, I would not be a mount for anyone!"

"My face is quite large, then," Luo Quan laughed foolishly.

"Her Majesty the Queen!" Nova suddenly raised her voice, startling Luo Quan.

"What's wrong?" Luo Quan asked, her shoulders twitching.

Nova said seriously, "Her Majesty the Queen, no matter what kind of personality you have in the human world, after coming to Hell, please do not laugh so innocently as you just did. That will make you lack majesty."

"As time goes by, your subjects will no longer maintain reverence for you, your power will be hollowed out, your orders will not be carried out, and the consequences will be very serious."

"This... is it that serious?" Luo Quan was stunned.

"It is just that serious!" Nova nodded heavily. "Hell is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Although the Demon King is the recognized ruler, there are many, many Demon Kings in Hell. Each of them controls a portion of territory and frequently engages in wars with other Demon Kings."

"Because many middle and lower-class demons are not qualified to sign servant contracts with you, these demons are also very likely to betray you. If you do not appear to be a wise monarch, then many demon families and subjects in your territory will betray you without hesitation!"

Pacquiao also nodded, agreeing, "Lady Nova is right. In the time since the previous Queen passed away, a considerable number of demon lords here have announced their withdrawal from the Succubus Queen's rule and have defected to the command of Grand Duke Hekasta."

"This powerful demon duke has even openly sent troops to occupy a portion of the territory that belongs to you!"

Nova was absolutely furious upon hearing this news, but she quickly calmed down and sneered, "It doesn't matter. Now that Her Majesty the Queen has returned, in time, she will surely make all rebels submit!"

"These treacherous subjects will pay for the sins they have committed with the lives of their entire families!"

"There is no time to lose. Pacquiao, hurry and take me and Her Majesty the Queen to the Capital of Frenzied Desire, and have the cabinet ministers ring the King's bell!"

"As you wish," Pacquiao lay on the ground, waiting for Luo Quan to sit on him.

Luo Quan looked at Pacquiao's solid back, as if seeing a true throne. She felt a sense of responsibility, took a deep breath, and stepped onto it.

However, she soon regretted it.

Luo Quan did not know why demons in Hell regarded riding a Bat Demon as a symbol of status. It was not even one percent as comfortable as an airplane, not even as good as a helicopter, and it always gave her the feeling that she would fall at any moment.

The only thing worth praising was that Pacquiao's flight state was very stable. Although the amplitude of his wing flapping was extremely large, Luo Quan did not feel any awkward bumping at all.

After staying on Pacquiao's back for about ten minutes, Luo Quan saw clusters of buildings appearing below.

Because they were flying too fast, Luo Quan could not see the appearance of these buildings clearly. Just as she raised her head, a towering and magnificent castle entered her sight.

Pacquiao found an open space and dove down. Just as he was about to collide with the ground, he flapped his bat wings violently a few times, and his whole body immediately slowed down and landed steadily on the ground.

"In the blink of an eye, I have been away from the Capital of Frenzied Desire for ten years. I wonder if those servants and attendants are still there."

Nova jumped off Pacquiao's body and then reached out to Luo Quan.

With her current physical fitness, she was not yet at the point where she needed someone to help her off a "plane."

However, Nova had said earlier that she had to appear to have the air of a Queen. Although her own personality was not that aggressive, role-playing was her specialty, so she immediately grasped Nova's small hand.

Don't look at Nova's small stature; her strength was actually quite great.

Supported by Nova, Luo Quan jumped off Pacquiao's back.

"By the way, after the previous Queen passed away, did no demons come to attack this castle?" Luo Quan asked curiously.

"That is something that would absolutely never happen, Her Majesty the Queen."

Pacquiao bared his bloody mouth and replied respectfully, "The identity of the Succubus Queen is quite special. She has close relationships with many Demon Kings from other layers of Hell and has also received their protection."

"Under such circumstances, of course, no demon would dare to lay a hand on the Queen's palace. Of course, with the exception of those ancestral demons with long lifespans and powerful strength."

"Sounds like a kept mistress," Luo Quan thought to herself.

Combined with the identity of the Succubus Queen, it was indeed hard not to let one's imagination run wild.

"It sounds like I can do whatever I want in Hell," Luo Quan suddenly thought of this point, her eyes shining like a lighthouse.

Pacquiao nodded, "Within the scope of the Hell of Frenzied Desire, you can indeed do whatever you want."

Nova smiled and said, "Her Majesty the Queen, once you arrive at your capital, you should no longer have any concerns in your heart. Here, you are God. You have the right to decide everything, and no one dares to defy you."

"However, because the position of Queen has been vacant for too long, the official positions of ministers and generals in the royal palace are temporarily vacant. There are only a few maids and a butler cleaning the royal palace, so it will be a bit deserted."

Luo Quan said indifferently, "Deserted is better; I like quiet."

Just as Luo Quan was learning about the situation in the Palace of Frenzied Desire from Nova, several charming and scantily clad succubus maids ran over upon hearing the news.

They were all proper, full-fledged succubi, completely different from a small succubus like Nova—they were big in every way!

Luo Quan looked up and thought she had arrived in the anime world of a Japanese maid harem show. She had only seen maids with this kind of attire and figure in those evil manga.

"La... Lady Nova?!" The succubus maids were very surprised by the sudden appearance of the small succubus noble and bowed directly to her, ignoring Luo Quan's existence.

"You should bow to Her Majesty the Queen," Nova corrected with a frown. "This is the new Master of Desire—Luoxi. You must call her Her Majesty the Queen from now on!"

"............" Luo Quan heard this "earth-shattering" nickname of hers and didn't know whether she should say something or not.

Look at those leaders in other layers of Hell; their nicknames were so awesome—Demon King of Wrath, Bloodthirsty Prince, Lord of Corruption—so much prestige.

Look at her again; Luo Quan was too embarrassed to say it again.

Once this nickname was shouted out, those who didn't know would think she was some kind of loose woman............

"Nova, you don't need to mention my nickname to others in the future; it sounds bad if it gets out."

Luo Quan said with a bitter face. She was really afraid that one day Nova would call her that in front of many people. If that really happened, Luo Quan would lose as much face as she had.

However, Nova asked with great confusion, "Why can't it be said out loud? This is a title unique to the entire Hell!"

Hearing Nova say this, Luo Quan was speechless: "It's troublesome to explain. Anyway, in the future, you only need to call me Luoxi or Her Majesty the Queen when we are outside. You don't need to hang the authority I hold on your lips."

"There is an old saying in my hometown: 'The law is not passed to six ears.' The more powerful the force, the more it needs to be kept secret. Do you understand this now?"

"I have remembered it," Nova lowered her head submissively. Her Majesty the Queen's order was the heavenly law; Nova had no room to refuse.

"Her Majesty the Queen." The succubus maids reacted quickly. Knowing that this stunningly beautiful girl in front of them was their new master, they immediately turned and bowed to Luo Quan.

"In the years I've been away, nothing happened in the royal palace, right?" Nova asked about the situation in the Palace of Frenzied Desire while walking with Luo Quan.

A succubus maid said, "Reporting to my Lady, nothing happened; everything is very calm."

Nova nodded, "That's good. By the way, is Sebastian still alive? He didn't die, did he?"

"Although I am already very old, I am still quite far from death."

An aged voice came. Luo Quan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a silver-haired old man wearing a black tailcoat.

His figure was very tall, and his expression was indifferent, very much like the kind of cold and aloof old butler who often appeared in European TV dramas.

"Respected Her Majesty the Queen, your servant Sebastian Hall Francisco the War Demon offers you the highest respect." Sebastian touched his chest with his right hand and nodded slightly toward Luo Quan.

"You... hmm."

Luo Quan had originally intended to say "you're welcome," but remembering what Nova had said to her before arriving here, she reined in her expression, responded indifferently, and lifted her chin at a thirty-degree angle, looking exactly like a proud black swan.

Seeing Luo Quan's expression, Nova nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Her Majesty the Queen has only recently inherited the position of Her Majesty Asmodeus and does not know much about the Palace of Wild Desire. If she asks you any questions later, you must answer them in detail."

"Sebastian, what are you still dazing off for? Did you remember what I told you just now!" Nova urged.

Sebastian nodded and replied, "Regarding Her Majesty the Queen, I will certainly tell her everything I know."

Nova said, "Take us to the Demon King's bedchamber first; we need to retrieve some things."

"Please follow me." Sebastian extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Walking through the spacious Demon King's palace, Luo Quan finally had the opportunity to properly examine this magnificent place.

The entire palace was dark gold, and the dome was triangular and very sharp. The interior decoration was unlike her own Virgin Palace; there were no exquisite reliefs or oil paintings, only pairs of long or short demon horns and the fangs of some unknown demonic beasts.

Perhaps a demon's aesthetic is still somewhat different from a human's.

In Luo Quan's eyes, these decorations were too barbaric, but to demons, these were symbols of power. Regardless, she couldn't accept them; when she had time, she would have to properly renovate the palace's monotonous and primitive interior.

Soon, Luo Quan and her party arrived at a room that looked like a council hall. This should be the center of the entire palace and also the highest point of the Demon Capital. Opening the doors, one could overlook most of the Demon Capital.

The council hall was very large, equivalent to two basketball courts combined. There were no pillars supporting this hall, and the entire room felt like a single whole.

The council hall was circular, and walking inside, there were seven tiers of steps. Above the steps sat a huge purple throne that seemed embedded in the hall's wall.

This was the only object Luo Quan had seen in the palace with reliefs; its base was carved with various demons, small but with clear patterns.

Looking closer, Luo Quan could even identify which patterns were which demons; this craftsmanship could already rival top human master sculptors.

This purple throne was about eight meters high, and the back of the seat consisted of several tall, upright purple crystals, blooming with dazzling brilliance under the illumination of countless candlelight.

Luo Quan fell in love with this luxurious throne at first sight; she had always had no resistance to such shiny things.

"System, can this thing be taken out?"

"Theoretically, yes."

"Nice!"

Seeing Luo Quan stop to look at the throne, Nova said, "That is a throne carved from a rare, huge shadow crystal. It is unknown who carved it, but for thousands of years, it has always been the Demon King's personal throne.

Sitting on the throne can double the speed of spiritual power cultivation. The former Queen often sat on the throne to cultivate; it is a rare treasure."

Luo Quan asked calmly, "How many treasures like this are there in my bedchamber?"

Nova smiled slightly: "Countless."
