Untrusted Caberus

Part 13

Untrusted Caberus

Ragnes agreed to go to a party with Caberus and Ozlo's ambassador. After the contract was made, Caberus, who lied, asked him to sit and talk and didn't let him go. Ragnes knew this guy had a bad idea and an evil plan. But the feast was a great opportunity for him to investigate everything he wanted to know. It was an inner-party of the Kafka nobles. Caberus himself was sure he would be hooked by this bait.

"What're you thinking? What's going on in Kafka?" Ragnes asked when he had the opportunity to be alone with Caberus. The host laughed and swept his gaze from head to toe.

"Actually, this hair color and eye color are really exciting. Well, you're not afraid of being eaten by me," said Caberus, licking his horny lips with his tongue. But Ragnes looked at him annoyed.

"You've not just wanted to harass me, but you also want something else. This is definitely not me using you as a pass, but you are the one who uses me. You intended me to go with Ozlo's ambassador. It's you who wanted to sell me."

After thinking about it, Ragnes believed that Caberus must talk something with that Ozlo guy. He wanted to use him in this game. But he also agreed to be a victim too. It meant that they used each other in this show.

And, now, the show must go on!

"Huh." Caberus looked at Ragnes with a smile, before slowly turning into a very cheerful laugh.

He laughed so loudly that Ragnes's eardrums trembled. Before he used his hand to bring the other person's waist closer, he stared at the eyes of the other, although not the original color, they were still very beautiful.

"I like how you're smart but still very reckless, you're so crazy to follow me here. I can say that I really like you. Why's don't you accept my proposal now? Isn't it easier for both of us?" He said as he rubbed his throat. but was pushed out without any sympathy.

"You use me, I use you, we have no debts to each other. About your last sentence, I assumed I didn't hear that," he replied, crossing his arms to look at this cheeky childhood friend, but of course, Caberas only laughed.

Caberus was well aware that he, himself was impatient. But only for Ragnes, he was very patient with this person all his life. However, for Ragnes, he might think that he was joking and not taking it seriously. Because Ragness thought so, thus he was reckless, totally opened all his weak point.

My friend, you were so innocent!

"You're brave, I admire you but don't forget that you're still human. A demon like me is much less patient than a soft human like you. If there wasn't that Fire Fangs in your hand. You have been mauled by me a long time ago," he said, kissing the back of Ragness's hand on which the skull seal was affixed.

Fire Fangs were the mystical weapon of the King of Wetonia. And it prevented Caberus from obtaining the person in front of him.

"I don't understand"

"Huh?" Caberas raised an eyebrow.

"I don't love you, you can only get my body. Will you be happy with that?"

Ragnes asked this because he still saw Caberus as a friend. Despite having a habit like a demon but this was his only friend since his childhood. If possible, he would have wanted between the two of them to be like this until the day they died, but Caberus laughed again. It was as if what Ragness asked was a gross foolish thing.

In Caberus' eyes, this question was a foolish thing. But he didn't mind answering.

"But I am satisfied. This is my intention," he replied eloquently, but that answer made the listener feel very sad.

Of course, at this point Ragnes had no idea to tell about Sangtis. If he told him now Caberas would definitely find a way to kill Sangtis. The only thing that Ragnes was sure of was Caberus... hated Sangtis very much. He didn't want to take this risk.

That evening, Ragnes agreed to dress in the clothes Caberus had brought for him. He was wearing a short blue jacket and slit pants that show off his slender long legs that made people look drooling.

Of course, his belly! abdomen! That emerged from the short shirt was very soft white. Even Caberus and the ambassador of Ozlo could not help but sigh several times. This person was so beautiful, so charming, so touching.

That was...as long as he didn't open his mouth.

"Looking at me like this, you have to pay for a look," Ragnes told Caberus.

"If I can do more than looking I don't mind to pay. All the treasures in the royal treasury, I'll give you all," said the wealthy demon king.

As they got on the carriage, Caberus deliberately disengaged. Of course, this would give the ambassador a chance to flirt with a beautiful person privately.

"Are you a lion?" Ragnes asked as he sat on the carriage.

He would surely notice the trait and special characteristic of the ambassador named Sidel. Surprisingly, the ambassador was the lion.

Usually a lion was a king, a lord of the jungle, these people are always unyielding. A career that demanded high compromises like an ambassador but used people like this. The court of Ozlo was also very strange.

"I'm indeed a lion, but I love peace. Most of the people close to me are all comfortable, don't you feel compelled to come with me?" he said politely, but his eyes were very mischievous.

He couldn't help that he had to peek at the brilliant beauty of the person in front of him. But this person was not just shy, his face had not even changed color. On the contrary, he was confident in himself, faced up all the time. Such a confident demeanor!

Sidel admitted that he admired this type of person. A person who was self-assured and dignified was extremely attractive. This couldn't be helped, he was a lion, he rejoiced when he saw a person who was tough rather than soft and shaken. This person knew that he was a lion, but still dared to come together. This was too brave.

"Do you feel like you're being forced to come with me?" Sidel asked again, holding Ragnes's hand. It appeared that the opponent laughed.

"Oh, you guys paid five hundred gold as wages. It's probably not a compulsion, but just looking for someone to work with. Is this a bit too expensive for a civil servant's career?" he said with a sly wink.

Ragnes couldn't believe that this guy had the status of a simple ambassador. He was so luxurious and so rich. If he was not a millionaire, it meant that the royal money of Ozlo had been corrupted!

"Um, that's right, too expensive for a poor bureaucrat like me," Sidel laughed merrily. At this point, their carriage stopped in front of a luxurious mansion.

This luxury mansion was actually Prince Darius' vacation villa outside of the city which was very bustling at this time. Although not the number one crown prince, Darius was a very popular prince. He had many friends. If using the popular vote to choose the king, he must win a gold medal.

It was true that on the day of the celebration, he may only be a second rank prince. But before that, he held a private party. He invited important city guests and Kafka nobility, organized a grandiose ceremony to show his influence. Ragnes read the situation between the two princes and smiled.

This was a betrayal between the two brothers as to who would become more famous. The Kafka King's Throne was clearly seen to be at the cost of great bloodshed.

At the banquet, he saw many ambassadors of many kingdoms and nobles. Everyone respected Darius, and judging by Kafka's huge spread of money these days. It was certain that Darius was also the king of capitalism. But being so millionaire like this, he could not be alone. If he thought big, he should have someone to support him. It definitely had interesting sponsors behind him.

and these sponsors, normally, most of them... were not quite in the ethical way.

"It's a lot of people," Ragness muttered, glancing at the people entering and exiting the mansion. It was very interesting that among these people there were many familiar faces. There were even...hunters.

A demon hunter who used to roam in the realm of demons. These people had a unique aura, and many had the warrant of arrest in the city of demons. So why did they stay at Prince Darius' proclamation party?

Or was the prince dealing with these barbarians for a special purpose?

But everyone looked very harmonious. At this moment Prince Darius, as the host, was inviting guests to have an all-you-can-drink. Followed by a grand show and a luxurious dance party. If your eyes were not blind, you knew his purpose.

"It's a show-off of the potential of the next King." It turned out that the person who spoke up was Ambassador Sidel, who stood beside him with a glass of wine instead of joining the other nobility. "Do you think so too?"

"I'm just a hotel worker who was bought here. I can't answer the question you asked," replied the very arrogant hotel clerk. This made Sidel laughed. The more he talked to him, the more he felt impressed with this person.

"You're funny. So I ask again If I like you and want to buy you back to Ozlo as a real bride, what's the answer?"

"It must be a request for you to die. It's out of the agreement," Ragnes smiled and laughed. Sidel looked at him and felt that the person in front of him was even slightly annoyed, a little bit out of manners. But He was so beautiful, he was charming, with strangely arrogant.

At first, he thought that a man named Gawain, whom he met by chance, was thinking of buying this person for him, but it seemed that the other party wouldn't play with it. This was already strange.

Actually, who was this person?

"Did you come without your wife?" asked Ragnes.

"Because this is not my main occupation," Sidel replied bluntly. "I'm still a bachelor right now, how do you change your mind?" he asked, but Ragnes made it clear that he didn't want to listen.

"So, what is your main occupation, Young Master?" Ragnes asked while Sidel held his finger up to kiss his lips. He now looked very playful, completely different from the image of the ambassador.

Was this a lion playing with a cat?

"Dance with me. And I'll tell you." Finally, Sidel cut the script and invited him to dance. He gave him a hand and smiled sweetly until it was greasy. Looked like a noble gentleman.

Ragnes dared to say that if the person in front of Sidel was a young man who was weak against the world, he would definitely be devoured by this lion. He said that he was still single, a hundred people like this, their parents were already looking for a mate at their hometown. If you fell in love with this type of person. From the experience, you would be heart broken and died with sorrow.

If you didn't want to taste the experience of being a mistress, didn't trust the one who sowed sweet words!

These pseudo-respectful men were clearly dangerous!

"Okay," Ragnes cursed in his heart, but on the outside, he had a naive face with a sweet smile.

Knowing that this was a fire, but walking towards it was the nature of this King of Watonia. Sidel, he was a fun person and actually was a very good-natured person. When the other party didn't look like a bad person, he agreed to dance. The person in front of him looked like a very dignified young man, be a valiant lion. Let's just say that this was the person who radiated the most brilliant leadership aura.

But Ragnes did not forget that he came to work. At the end of the dance, he pretended to have a sprained leg and asked a doctor to take care of him. Sidel wanted to take him on his own, but accidentally someone interrupted the conversation. So he decided to leave Ragnes alone.

When Ragnes had a chance, he skulked from the party. There were people who were his targets. There were two or three people who were dressed like nobles but had a strange gait. Despite trying to defuse it, they were hunters. There was a stench of blood all over him. As he continued to follow, he fell into the host's private area. Surprisingly, those people suddenly disappeared.

"Secret way? There is a secret passage in this mansion…"

It was a majestic mansion. Silence outside but Ragnes felt that he could hear the sound of footsteps all over the place. This was the sound of living things, the sound of human footsteps. It was as if in the foreground there was a celebratory party, but behind the scene, there was a gathering, something was hidden. There really were secret passages and secret rooms in here.

"Did Caberus know about this? Was that guy really coming to this gathering, or…?" Ragnes observed. That guy from the moment he entered the manor pretended to flirt with another person and withdraw. Or actually, the job that Caberus wanted to come was this one.

Ragnes went even deeper and entered the resting area. At that moment he smelled a strange smell. It was the smell that made Ragnes feel very hesitant. The smell that he used to smell a long time ago, made him dizzy, nauseous and caused him to want to sit and rest.

It didn't look good and Ragnes felt that he should turn around. What exactly was in this mansion? Why did it smell like this? Why did Caberus come here? But now he felt even more dizzy, faint, felt his heart skip a beat, felt bad, terrible...

"Oh my, you really came in here too. What a great stalker," said Caberus, now wielding a glass of wine, roaming in the gardens of the villagers. "Look at your face. This is already getting worse. Ragnes, you really don't remember what scent this is."

"Smell…." His eyes were shattered and he could no longer see anything. Ragnes wanted to swear that this bastard showed up at such a bad time. Was this supposed to be that he had to be trapped? "Those hunters… use this scent?"

"Bingo! That's right, my dear friend. It's the magic that humans use against demons. Those hunters use spells in here. Oh, forget it. You have a weakness to lose to these spells. Why didn't I tell you before? I'm sorry, my dear. I forgot." Caberus mumbled long and used his arms to scoop up Ragnes, who had almost toppled over.

Ragnes was now defeated by the spell until his face turned pale. His expression was weak, he could barely stand. Of course, this was what Caberus had been waiting for. He turned his head around as he sniffed out which room was empty and carried Ragnes inside.

Ragnes slept without strength but still had consciousness. He saw Caberus doing this and knew he had been attacked. This guy came to do other missions too, it was true. But to force him to marry was also true.

"Don't…" Ragness slapped at the hand of the other person who was roaming around with his clothes.

He felt he wanted to vomit on his face but he also knew that Caerus wouldn't let him go. This was a thick-blooded demon that was born with no special descent.

Caberus was so lucky in many things, he defeated any spell and almost cursed weapons. In contrast, Ragnes, was a half-demon who just encountered a little spell that would be deadly. The world was so unfair!

Normally, if using the power of the Fire Fangs, Ragnes wouldn't have to worry about these spells. But because today he disguised himself as a human, he had to disguise his demonic aura. Who would have thought that the push came across the force to attack so badly, yes, he knew that he was careless. And people would die because of this carelessness.

"If you come in again, I'll bite you to die!" But the other party laughed.

"Don't say something scary like that. This is what you call killing two birds with one stone. Come on, my friend, I've been waiting for you for over ten years. Give me some refreshment," He snapped at the other person's body before pinching his chin until the opponent cried out in pain, but the more it hurt, the more he realized that Ragness could no longer handle it. Totally faint "You can sleep. I can manage by myself. Just that when you wake up, you will become my wife."

"You, you!!!"

Ragnes wanted to curse but he couldn't take it anymore. He felt that he was about to pass out, but no, no, no, he didn't want to be the one who was being treated like this again.

No!!!!!

"S-Sang Sangtis, help me!!"

"Huh?" But at that moment, no one ran in. There would be the only sound.

ROAR!!!!

That was the roar of a lion!?
