Still weak

DLR - 3

_____________________________

When morning came, the servants all got dressed up and left his room. Vernox have fully accepted the fact that he was in another world and that he'll still need to blend in.

He got up from his bed and went to have his bath. Since this was his Castle in the game, he knew every spot in the castle, so it wasn't hard for him to find the bathroom.

When he got to the bathroom, he saw some servants outside, they all stood in order and when Vernox saw them he went to them.

'I wonder what they are doing in front of my bathroom'

"What are you all doing here?" he asked them when he got beside them.

"My prince, we are the maids tasked with bathing you today" the maid who seems like the most mature one of them said.

'Sigh...now's not the time for sexy bathroom time Vernox, focus on your task for today'

With regret in his heart he sighed and replied to her.

"There's no need. You can return to your duties" he said as he walked pass them and entered the bathroom.

"Yes, my prince" they then left.

Inside the bathroom there was a small pool and on the other side was a shower and various bathing equipments hanged on the wall. It really looked like a medieval Noble bathroom.

"I could've bathed with those hot maids, after all I'm supposed to live this life very well, but sex is not everything in this world" he said as he finished showering and entered the pool to cool off.

In this world, what truly matters was strength. With enough strength one could rule this world if they wanted or even destroy it, and to be the demon Lord...he would have to be stronger than his brother.

From what he could remember his brother had a skill that can reflect magic, but he's not sure so he'll have to check and make sure.

*Knock Knock*

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone knocking on the bathroom door. He wondered if the maids were still outside.

"Who is it?" he asked as he got out of the pool and wrapped a towel around his waist.

"My prince it's Beth. I brought your clothes"

He then went to the door and opened it and saw Beth there. And that was when he noticed that all the maids were wearing sexy maids outfit that were showing some of their cleavage.

It's not like he doesn't like them...but he doesn't want to get a boner in the middle of the day.

"Thank you" he said as he took the clothes from her and closed the door.

Meanwhile Beth was still shocked.

'Thank you?'

In all her time of serving Vernox, she has never heard him saying those words. He was more of a demon with pride. She then thought that maybe her master was in a good mood today and that was what was causing his behavior.

As soon as he was done bathing he put on the clothes that was brought for him. It was a black attire that looked like it was for fighting and a beautiful red robe, designed with gold laces by the edges, and it had the symbol of a dragon on the back representing the dragon kin which was his race. He then walked towards the mirror and looked at himself again.

'It still feels like a dream somehow'

He looked at his handsome figure and smiled. The red robe brought out the color of his eyes purple eyes.

'Now to visit my brother'

He exited his room and walked through the hallways of the castle.

Inwardly he was amazed by the design of the castle, not like he hasn't seen it before but this is real life.

The hallway was very wide and there was various decorative antiques on the walls.

He then made his way to the throne room where his brother was most likely to be since he doesn't like hunting or fighting.

As he got there he saw two guards in front of the big door.

"I wish to speak to my brother" he spoke in a demanding tone.

"Of course, your majesty" the guard by the right responded immediately and opened the doors for him. Vernox smiled at the man and walked in.

"You know that we're not supposed to open the doors at all" the other guard that was quiet all this time spoke up.

"Don't you know that the prince has a mild temper. He could just simply kill us and went in if he wanted"

"Is he that strong" he asked.

As guards of the royal demon palace they were very strong so the young guard could not believe that the prince could beat them.

"Yes, his power is only second to the demon Lord. I've watched a few if their battles...it was intense"

The new guard now had some newfound respect for the prince. Strength only second to the demon Lord, that was enough for him to regret being disrespectful.

Meanwhile, Vernox that was inside saw his brother on the big throne on a podium.

'Damien' his face got weird as he saw his brother grabbing a beautiful woman's boobs and having fun with her.

"My dear brother, long time no see"

Damien didn't even look at him and kissed the lady and continued what he was doing.

"I heard that some illegal things has been happening in Azure lately. Some of the lesser demons have been captured and used as slaves by humans" he said as he stared at his brother.

"Are they anyone important?" Damien asked.

"No, but they are still our kind"

Vernox couldn't believe what his brother was saying. He didn't care at all for his people, he only liked having fun all day. Ragner should've chosen another heir.

'He's even worse than in the game'

In reality Damien didn't want the throne but because of his strength and selfish needs he just wanted to be on the throne.

'Eyes of dominion'

Vernox activated his eyes of dominion skill and nullified some effects so that he can see Damien's stats

[Name: Damien Raphael

Title: Demon Lord, Demon king

Race: Demon( Dragon kin)

Level: Soul Emperor

Soul energy: 290,000

Stats

Strength- 200

Speed- 231

Intelligence- 99

Agility- 201. ]

'As expected, his stats are almost double of mine...except his intelligence stat, that's just pitiful'.

Damien was only this strong due to the fact that he possesses a demon sword. Demon weapons are weapons which are forged from pure demonic energy and when owned, they are linked to the owner's soul. The demon weapons also increases the owner's strength and power by almost two times.

As far as he knows there were only twenty demon weapons and lucky for Vernox he knows where the remaining ones are. Vernox turned to leave the throne room. As he got to the door he looked back at Damien and said.

"In a few days from now I'll be taking the throne from you. Be prepared!." he then left and shut the door.

'Thank goodness, I never liked ruling anyway. It's too much stress. I hope that he's strong enough to beat me by then'

Damien smiled as he focused on the lady in front of him.

"Looks like I'll have to go it alone" he said as he made his way back to his room.

After a few minutes of searching he found what he was looking for, he brought out a sword in a red sheath that was in his room and left to embark on a journey to retrieve the demon weapon.

'The demon sword I owned should be in a cave inside the forbidden forest. I remember that there is a powerful creature in that forest that doesn't let anyone enter'

"I'll need a few things before I leave"

He then walked out of the castle's gates and the guards greeted him with respect as he entered the city.
