The Incubus System Chapter 196. Princess Eve of Euthenia

My feet moved towards the painting in caution. My eyes were glued to it and my brows furrowed in confusion. Questions filled my head.

'Does Miguel know Lilieth?' That was my main question. Only from the frame and size of the painting, I knew that it was not a cheap painting and the classic style of the painting made it look like from medieval times.

I stopped in front of it, which was bigger than three adults, and noticed small writing in the right corner.

'Princess Eve of Euthenia. Diorix. ' My eyes widened in shock and my gaze shifted to the woman's face who turned out to be our Vihrasil Continent's heroine. And the painting in front of me turned out to be a famous painting that was lost 100 years ago.

'Why does she have the same face as Lilieth?'

My curiosity grew, I looked around me, trying to find some clues or anything related to Myra and realized an antique book inside an acrylic glass on the desk not far from me.

I approached it and observed it for a while to make sure there was no alarm or something like that before I opened the acrylic box carefully and took that brown leather book. Some of the slightly torn parts proved how old the book was. I placed the book beside the case with caution and opened it carefully. I didn't think that my gloves, which I thought were only for covering my fingerprints, would be useful for this.

When I just opened the first sheet, the footsteps' sounds accompanied by the door handle being pressed came.

- Clek.

Swiftly, I aimed my hand toward the door, ready to strike anyone who appeared from there with my Hell Thunder. But no one entered, I could only hear several people's mumbling voices. A few seconds later, the sound disappeared accompanied by the sound of footsteps away. I guessed it was the securities who wanted to make sure this room was still locked.

My attention returned to the book in front of me. My eyes moved from side to side, reading the text, which mostly used old orthography. My hand moved slowly to open the book, making sure I didn't rip that brownish, fragile paper. Even though I only skimmed through briefly and only read the important parts, I found something interesting from there. It was the reason why Myra and Miguel wanted to do this crazy plan. Even though this was just my guess, I believed it had something to do with the fact that the Aeros' royal family had locked up Lord Damon for ten years a thousand years ago. Moreover, I also discovered the Aeros royal family's dark history, especially regarding the first Prince of Aeros' betrayal. Since in the common history books, he died as a hero in a war.

I paused, my mind sank into my thoughts as all the history books that I had read and learned repeated in my head. And I realized, in the history, the story stopped after Princess Eve went to a dark dimension with Lord Damon. But in fact, the story didn't end there. Judging Lilieth's position in the demon world as well as remembering how she turned me into an incubus, I guessed Lord Damon also had turned Lilieth into a succubus just like she changed me. Not only that, but Lord Damon also made Lilieth his wife and based on how Lilieth fought to help Lord Damon even though she was pregnant, I was pretty sure she loved him.

'Well, I think the quotes "history is written by the victors" are true,' I thought. My hand closed the book and my gaze turned to the painting. From all of this, I could conclude that Princess Eve and Lilieth were the same person. I didn't expect that the Vihrasil Continent's heroine didn't sacrifice herself, but she had become a succubus and became the Demon Lord's wife.

I returned the book to the case and closed it since I had to focus my attention on my main purpose, looking for documents or information that related to Myra's plan. My hands moved to open the drawers, took out the documents and read them. I also checked some antique books that caught my attention, especially books about slavery in the past, magic, demons and slave magic collars. Unfortunately, I only found information about the normal slave magic collar. There was no information or any documents regarding demon magic collars or the Aeros' royal family's method to catch the Demon Lord.

Half an hour had passed. My eyes looked at the book that contained an old slave magic collar's design. This was quite confusing for me since this slavery plan should be not easy. Their first step was definitely to create the special magic collar itself. Second, they had to find the demons. And third, they had to put it on. Even though all of that sounded easy, since Myra was an ex-demon hunter, of course, she knew how difficult the plan was. Let's pretend they managed to create that collar, though I didn't know how they could ensure their success without trying it on a real demon first and since Myra had the Demon Detector, she could find the demons easily. But weren't there demon hunters assigned to each area? And given Myra's bad reputation in the association, it only took a report from a demon hunter to destroy her plans. I thought it didn't make sense for her to take that risk. Myra also had to weaken her target before enslaving the demon. But the problem was, even though Myra had a higher level than an ordinary human, she had lost her demon Hunter skill.

'Ah!' After that thought crossed my head, I remembered her magic device that could copy the demon hunter skill. That's why she kept trying to make the device, even though it had failed and tainted her company's reputation. She needed it to fight the demons. Which meant she just needed to find a way to catch the demons secretly.

Finally, my hand closed the book and returned it to its place. My eyes glanced at the clock near me.

05.03 AM

'I still have time,' I thought. So I decided to look for other clues. Since this place looked more like Miguel's private collection room, I decided to look elsewhere. And the second place that occurred to me was in his room. Unfortunately, I was not sure I could sneak up there now since Miguel should be still sleeping there. My thoughts drifted to Camila since I only saw her when I took over Ian's body this morning.

'I should check her out.' I didn't worry about Olivia since she looked fine when we met in college yesterday and I could still contact her with my cellphone, but not with Camila. That's why I couldn't possibly waste this opportunity to make sure she was alright.

As before, I asked Ian where Camila's room was. Since the room was not far from here, instead of exiting the room from the front door or using my portal skill to return to the dining room, I opted out onto the balcony and decided to sneak into Camila's room like I was sneaking into Emma's room.

Besides, it was already dawn now, it could be the servants were awake, so I thought it would be safer to sneak in from outside. After I was on the balcony, locked the door with my Telekinesis and made sure there were no people or CCTV around, I activated my Demonic Form and jumped onto the next two balconies.

As my feet landed, I deactivated my Demonic Form and peeked from the balcony door. Since the room lights were still on, I could see Camila sitting, leaning on the headboard, staring blankly at the cellphone in her hand clearly. Her body was only covered in a simple night dress. Her face looked pale and tired as if she had lost her life spirit.

Unconsciously, I clenched my hands, out of anger and guilt since I couldn't help her immediately and took her out of here.

Seeing her condition, my heart throbbed in pain. I only hadn't seen her in a few days, yet she looked so different from the last time we met.

"Damian ... I miss you ..." Even though I couldn't hear her voice, I could tell from her lips movement. In that instant, I couldn't hold myself anymore. Even if it was only for a moment, I wanted to give her a little comfort and strength so she could have a new spirit to deal with all of this. I wanted to see her, but I couldn't since she would be suspicious of me. Then an idea crossed my mind as I could remember the lust demon's folklore. So I decided to use the idea to meet her. I activated my Incubus Form and entered through the balcony door. After I unlocked it with my Telekinesis, I also used my Telekinesis to turn off the lights.

Camila startled and turned to me.

My eyes stared at her gently as my feet stepped onto her.

"I came to see you, Camila ..."
