The Incubus System Chapter 571. The King's Grand Entrance III
Ethan's PoV
"Welcome to my palace, Your Highness, Nefaris." A black haired handsome demon approached us and greeted us warmly once we entered the luxurious lobby. The interior had a similar style to the outdoors and it was so elegant with the purplish particle soft light.
I immediately recognized who he was from the status above his head and desperately held back my surprise since he didn't look like what I thought. My eyes looked from his feet to the tip of his head. He looked the same as a human. His demonic features were only two purple horns on top of his head and his red eyes.
Okay, I had to admit that I was the one at fault since I didn't check his information at all on the internet. So I just assumed he was an old-looking demon, something similar to a grandpa's appearance. But in fact, he looked younger than Lord Damon. If I didn't know his age, I would think he was around mine.
Just like me and Lord Damon, a suit covered his body. But rather than a formal one, it was more informal than ours.
He stopped in front of me and frowned.
"You look confused. If you don't like what I call you, I don't mind calling you by your name," he offered.
I blinked my eyes and quickly chased my surprise away.
"Just call me by name," I said with a friendly smile, offering my hand for a handshake.
But the next thing that happened made me even more surprised. Six tentacles, six wings and two tails that resembled rose stalks burst out from his back. I could see dozens of mouths with sharp teeth that resembled a huge leech's mouth and eyes spread around his purple tentacles.
One of the tentacles came to my hand. It made me freeze. I didn't even know what to do to respond to it. On the other hand, I knew he didn't mean to attack me. But showing his real form all of a sudden shocked me.
His tentacle grabbed my hand and shook it as if it was his hand. I could feel an elastic feeling that reminded me of raw meat when I touched it. The eye at the tip of his tentacle even rolled to get a better look at me. The feel was similar to Pearl and Diamond's tentacles. But with those sharp teeth and scary eyes, I had no interest in touching them at all, even for shaking hands.
A shiver crept upon my spine, either from disgust or because I was shocked. Despite all of it, luckily, I was able to put on my poker face and shake hands like nothing.
'Wait… Why are his name and appearance the same as what Puriel wrote in her book?' I thought. I remember she mentioned a similar demon with the same name and form before and I thought it was just fiction. But it turned out to be a real thing.
Unfortunately, I couldn't ask her that directly since that would be tantamount to saying that I had met her before. Even though I had tried to cover my shock, Azrael laughed once he released his tentacles from me.
"My bad. I just want to try this old trick," he said between his chuckles. "I did this once to a small angel thousands of years ago and I made her run away," he added once his laughter faded. His chuckles sounded between his words.
I bet it was Puriel. I wanted to ask more about it but I held it in at least until we were close enough.
"You have a good sense of humor, sir," I said politely. At least his sense of humor was better than Lord Damon who teleported me from one place to another. Even though my status was higher than his, he was way--- older than me. So I thought to give him some respect.
"Just call me by name. I don't like if other people call me like I'm an ancient demon," he said in a casual tone. Then he turned to Nefaris. "And you lazy vampire. It's fancy to see you here," he greeted Nefaris who was standing beside me with a teasing tone. His two tentacles drew closer to her face. The eyes on the tentacles were observing her, making sure it was really her.
"I will take that as a compliment," replied Nefaris in a relaxed tone. A smug smile on her face.
Azrael's gaze shifted to Lord Damon who was behind me.
"And who is this arrogant-looking demon?" he asked curiously.
I thought Lord Damon would open his disguise since this was a perfect opportunity to make his grand entrance, but I was wrong.
"I'm his bodyguard," Lord Damon simply said. His tone was a little disrespectful than the real bodyguard.
Azrael frowned, showing his suspicion clearly.
"What's with the mask? Are you ugly? Or it's because you can't cover your demonic face?" Even though it sounded like a mockery, the tone of his voice showed he didn't have any intention of that. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠
"Yes, My Lord. I'm ugly," replied Lord Damon, swallowing his pride.
"Ah, an ugly demon I see." Azrael shook his head from side to side in pity. "Poor you."
From his expression, I guessed he didn't notice since the armor covered Lord Damon's Demonic Aura well.
As they spoke, I desperately held back my laugh. Still, it managed to create a weird smile on my face.
'He said 'My Lord' and admitted he is ugly...' I thought.
While a short laugh managed to escape Nefaris' mouth, she quickly pretended to cough to cover it up. I didn't say anything about it. I was sure, once I opened my mouth, my laugh would come out of there.
"Are you okay Nefaris?" Azrael asked, turning his gaze at her.
"Um. I'm fine," replied Nefaris once she calmed down.
"Are you sure? You're not the only one who's unwell today," Azrael confirmed. "Oh! Are my tentacles bothering you? I guess not all demons are fans of tentacles." He quickly hid his demonic features except for his horns.
"I'm completely fine. It's not because of your tentacles. I only choked," she reasoned.
"Just tell me if you need something, okay? It's rare to see you here. I don't want to disappoint you," Azrael said as he gestured for us to follow him.
