"What the hell was that for…? That really fucking hurt!"
"Don't have such thoughts!"
"...Tch,"
…
I was back in the frost drake kingdom and I even managed to spread my influence throughout parts of the palace, most of them actually believing all the lies I told them.
Of course, there were so people who were still wary as they had never seen before and I had no record of being in this kingdom… but my maid just took care of them by brainwashing them.
Nobody should be able to detect the magic unless they're a high-level magic-user like the king but as he is always busy, he never gets to see any of the other nobles.
I humd to myself as I pranced down the hallway.
"Mistress, you seem happy," Fol comnted as I searched for a new victim to spread my influence through.
Right now, I was content with where I was at, but if I wanted more answers, I needed more influence… even to the point where I could convince the king to trust .
The dragon kept warning to not directly confront him without giving a reason, but as I wasn't stupid, I of course listened to his words.
A wise dragon won't spout so bullshit to so I of course stayed wary of him despite not actually seeing him.
"I am very happy," I muttered before catching sight of a new victim.
"Oh, hello," The man says as he eyes up and down.
Ew… Yeah, no.
"Nevermind," I muttered before turning in the opposite direction.
"Hey, wait! I wasn't trying to be pervasive or anything!" He shouted back as I walked in the opposite direction and when I thought back to when I noticed his eyes… I reluctantly corroborated my information with his.

Noticing this, Fol grabbed his hand and tightened her grip around his wrist, even when he glared at her.
"How dare a lowly knight lay a hand on ," He said but Fol didn't back down so he admitted defeat and just retracted his hand.
It was a bit surprising as he was different from the other nobles.
"Look, I just didn't want you spreading rumors that I'm a perv. I already have a pretty bad reputation and I don't want you sinking even deeper into a swamp I won't be able to wade out of," He says.
"I wasn't going to," I replied.
"Thank you very much… I have a wife that I love very much so I would never get tempted by another woman,"
"Then may I ask what you were doing when you looked up and down? Judging or sothing?" I asked as I was becoming more annoyed the more I talked to him.
"Actually, I was, but it was for a good reason. I've heard you've been doing many things with the other nobles and even helping them increase their profits, so I was wondering if you could help as well?"
"Wait, that doesn't even fully answer my question… Why were you judging ?"
"First impressions are always key, even when people don't try and put up a front, so please forgive my rude actions and possibly look past it," He says, clasping his hands together as if he was begging for sothing.
"I see… Well, I'll contact you later if I have the chance," I said before waving goodbye… though I wasn't going to mix myself up with him.
He was smart and that was the opposite of what I needed.
My inner demon told to acquire so easy to manipulate prey who will fall for any bait I toss out, and he isn't one of them… So I'll just ignore him.
…
"So, what's the report for the past three days?" The dragon asks and the both of us, and my maid were in our original forms.
"I was able to spread my influence even farther than before and I should be able to envelop the whole castle within a few months. It's just there are so smart ones there and if I make one risky move, I might be exposed,"
"I see… well, you are dismissed," The dragon tries to wave us off but I still had one question that I needed to be answered.
"Why are you so wary of the drake king? Or are you wary of what the drake king possesses?" I asked and the dragon stared at with a glare… So I glared right back at him.
Sparks flew in the air and my maid beside began to get nervous as she wanted to leave quickly, but also wanted to try and stop a fight from happening.
If a fight did happen between, more than the entire demon camp would be gone.
"You still haven't shown enough trust for to tell you, but just listen to my words for the demon's sake and your sake of course,"
"I'll try," I smirk before prancing off and making my way towards the training area.
"ARGHHHH!" I shout as I kick a punching bag, blowing it to bits.
"Mistress, please calm down," My maid says, placing her hands on my shoulders but that was a bad idea.
As I went to go punch, my shoulders had so much torque that her right hand got ripped off, causing her to scream in pain.
"Tch,"

I quickly healed her hand and she dropped to the floor, completely exhausted.
"Take a break," I ordered as an assassin ca to bring to the frost moth kingdom.
The shadow we entered was as cold as always and once I arrived in the large palace, I saw Loni guarding the king and queen who were having a eting with a few representatives from the frost bunny kingdom.
"I guess I'll watch," I muttered before slipping into the shadows by myself and quickly maneuvering to the shadow behind the queen's throne.
