As said before, Alex's purpose for attending the ball was many, but the most important one was to identify the protagonists.
If they were in this empire, then there was no way they would want to miss this celebration; after all, if there is a gathering, protagonists are supposed to have one or two faceslapping events.
But maybe Alex's presence was the one that was stopping the progress of their plot, as no demon would want to cause a commotion in the demon lord's presence.
As for what the said demon lord was doing?
He was grinning as he stared at the new quest he had received.
[Antagonist's Quest: -
Quest objective: A human who has transmigrated into a demon's body has set his eyes on sothing that is yours; handle the situation accordingly.
Quest reward: The lust binding system and the additional rewards would depend on your approach.
Additional information: It hasn't been a long ti since the human had transmigrated into this world, as he was the additional protagonist added by the world at the end mont.
Before being attacked by Truck-kun and sent to this world, he was a call boy who used to be pretty famous with won, no matter what age they were, as his techniques were supposed to be the best.
The sa man had now transmigrated into this world with a system—the lust-binding system—with nothing but one objective, and that was to make every woman he likes his woman.
The problem was that he didn't desire won anymore, but as forced by the system, he had to make won fall for himself and make them his, then his eyes fell on the newest forbidden woman in the demon empire, Luna Tuner.
The mont he saw her, he set his goal to claim her as his.
Luna was the only person who had been able to make his heart rate spike like never before.
Ti limit: No ti limit.
Penalty: --]
Alex was staring at the screen in front of him, printing each and every word of it in his brain.
He had already moved away from the view of the people on the ground floor, as he didn't want to directly kill that guy.
He wanted to enjoy his ti on this one.
Unlike Rohrg, whom Alex didn't have much interest in, this guy was different, especially with the system he had.
Alex wanted to study this guy.
What kind of system was that?
What did it do?
Who gave it to him? Was it the world's will or was it soone else?
Such questions were filled in his mind, and he had a feeling that he could get all of their answers if he peeked into that guy with his all-seeing eyes, but what's the fun in that?
The fruit of patience is always the sweetest.
And wouldn't the rating of his completion of the quest be better if he were to defeat that guy without any information about him?
Alex's mood had turned sour the mont he found out that soone had been staring at his woman, but when he saw that it was just a goat that had just raised its hand to be slaughtered before the others, his mood got elevated automatically.
Yes, he didn't even notice it, but he was already treating Luna as his woman, and well, there was nothing wrong with it; Luna did commit herself to him by making him her one and only eternal partner.
There was one thing that Alex still wasn't satisfied about, though...
'He's just one of them; where's the other one…?'
Alex muttered inwardly as he failed to catch a glimpse of the other protagonist, no matter how hard he tried.
He had been constantly scanning the group of people he knew, as the protagonists are supposed to always want to steal sothing from him, the antagonist.
That was just how the protagonists functioned.
They had luck on their side and they had the world on their side, but they still eyed the things that others had.
But if these protagonists in the demon empire wanted to take sothing away from him, then they must get close to soone who has power and an image strong enough to raise chaos all around the demon empire.
"What's wrong? You suddenly started grinning, and then you pulled here."
But just as he was busy with his thoughts, he heard Luna's curious voice right next to his ear and found her standing right next to himself, just an inch away.
Her eyes were staring right into his, as she stood just a bit shorter than him.
Right now, they are out of the palace, in the garden of the imperial castle.
The moonlight was illuminating the whole field as flowers of different colors danced with the wind.
There were several wooden bridges and benches placed across a creek.
The scene looked breathtaking, as if it were a place from the fairy tale—not sothing you would expect to find in the demon empire, but it looks like the last demon lord who constructed this castle was a man with so sophisticated taste.
"Well, I was just thinking of getting so fresh air, away from the hustle and bustle of the ballroom."
Alex, who heard her question, looked back into her eyes with a smile before he started stretching his body.
*Crack**Snap*
His bones made cracking and snapping noises as he kept stretching and taking in the fresh air of the surroundings.
"Oh, really?"
Luna, on the other hand, knew things were not that simple. She could feel his emotions after all; it was as if he was expecting sothing.
"Yep, really."
Alex, however, just nodded his head without even looking back, and Luna, who heard his answer, squinted her eyes for a second before she shrugged.
"All right, then."
She just moved toward one of the benches in the garden and let her back relax.
As for how they got here?
Well, Alex already had the ability to teleport in a visible range when he was on Gaia, but now he could teleport others as well.
"Master?"
Noctura, who had been sleeping for a while, finally opened her eyes when she heard the snapping and cracking sound echoing close to her ears.
"Yes, pup?"
Alex, who noticed his blunder, hurriedly patted Noctura's head and questioned her, while also turning his back toward Luna, not wanting the chibi wolf to see the succubus.
He didn't want Noctura, who had finally cald down, to get her mood soured again.
"Where are we?"
Noctura questioned him as she rubbed her eyes and looked around.
"We are in the garden, pup.
Just go back to sleep; everything's fine."
Alex just smiled at her while caressing her head with care.
"Un."
And Noctura, who could feel her most sensitive spot, her ears being caressed by Alex, just lted in his arms without much resistance, her eyes closing as she drifted into her dreams with a comfortable expression.
