The Author's POV

Inside a dark and damp room, a young individual kneeled on one leg on the floor.

"Matriarch the preparations are complete, the bait has been thrown"

Lifting his head up, a red throne met his sight. Besides the red throne, two large ferocious dog-like creatures sat on the ground. Their eyes were of a deep shade of red, and their teeth were extremely sharp causing his blood to freeze.

Sitting neatly on the red thorny throne, was a gorgeous woman. She was wearing a gorgeous long red dress, whose hem was beautified with marvelous drawings and patterns. Her dress was a deep shade of red and showed off her exquisite body. Her black hair gently fell all the way from her shoulders to her waist. Her red, succulent lips had a cold smile as she tapped the armchair of her throne.

"...good"

Her enchanting voice that sounded crisp and pleasant traveled to the young individuals ears causing him to fall into a slight daze.

Looking at her, the young individual couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as he tried his best to calm his raging heart.

His eyesight slightly lingered on her gorgeous gown that emphasized her perfect figure. Her sexy figure was extremely charming that it could make any men's heart pound harder. her bare feet seemingly made of porcelain and flawless further increased her sexiness. However if not for the two black horns on her head he would've mistaken her for a human.

Realizing that he had been staring for too long, the young individual forcefully looked down on the ground as cold sweat dripped from his back. Though he couldn't deny that the figure before him was extremely enchanting, if by chance he got on the wrong side of her...death would be the best outcome.

"If it weren't for that idiot Everblood we wouldn't have needed to push our plans this far ahead"

Pouting slightly, the demoness calmly petted the two dogs before her. Soon silence enveloped the surroundings.

"Matriarch when should we initiate the plan?"

Breaking the silence the young youth spoke.

Thinking for a bit, the 'Matriarch' looked at the boy before her before saying

"...mhhh, let's take it slowly. Though Everblood failed we still have some time. You should first try to capture our target"

"As you wish Matriarch"

Nodding his head, the young boy placed his left hand on his right peck and bowed.

"Good boy"

Smiling slightly, the Matriarch looked at the young handsome boy before her.

'Elijah Turner'

That was the name of the young boy before her.

Though she was forced to make a pact with him due to certain circumstances, after having contracted with him for over a year she had taken a liking to him. Though he was not very talented, he was very obedient...and she liked that a lot

Pausing slightly, the Matriarch looked at the young boy as an overbearing pressure bore down on him causing his legs to slightly falter.

"...ah, but I do hope you won't fail me. We can't have another setback interfering with our big plan"

"U-nderstood"

Struggling to move or speak, it took the boy all his willpower to agree with the Matriarch

"ku ku ku, what a cute little boy"

Laughing lightly, the pressure soon disappeared and the young boy was finally able to move freely.
