Chapter 422 Incubus's Charm Failed
"D-Daughter?" Cambion muttered in disbelief, his eyes wide with shock as he beheld his stunning daughter walking gracefully towards them.
"She's your daughter? Then why in the hell are you doing with this thing?" The hooded figure's voice dripped with contempt as it tossed Arc aside like garbage, "Are you trying to deceive your master?"
Cambion flinched at the accusation, his heart pounding with fear and confusion. Slowly rising to his feet, he vehemently denied, "N-No! I had no idea about this. I truly believed she was my daughter!"
"Master? So this individual isn't your master?" Prisania's voice cut through the tension as she observed the unfolding scene with keen interest.
"Tsk, anyway, I'm taking her with me," the hooded figure declared, fixing its menacing gaze on Prisania. "You, girl, come with me!"
As the hooded figure moved to grab Prisania, she vanished into the shadows with fluid grace,
'Drop' leaving behind a faint echo of her laughter that sent shivers down Cambion's spine and added to the eerie atmosphere of the forest.
"Hehehe..." Prisania's ethereal voice seemed to surround them as Cambion turned to face his daughter once more, his throat dries with fear and confusion, struggling to find the right words amidst the chaos and revelations.
"M-My daughter, how... how are you? It's been a while since we last met—" Cambion's attempt at conversation was cut short as Prisania's sharp inquiry pierced through the air.
"You're the one who orchestrated the assassination group to recruit me, correct?" Prisania's pink eyes glinted with intensity as she pierced through Cambion's defences with a piercing stare that seemed to delve into his soul.
Cambion's face drained of colour as he realized his daughter knew the truth, "W-Well, ever since I lost you, I've spent countless nights in grief, thinking you were lost to me—" Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire
"Enough with the bullshit. Tell me your master was behind this, wasn't he?" Prisania's voice was firm, and her pink eyes shined brightly.... she exerted her succubus charm to compel the truth from Cambion.
Cambion momentarily entered a dazed state, his mind clouded by the influence of Prisania's charm. "Y-Yes..." he managed to stutter out before he could gather his thoughts.
But before he could say anything more, the hooded figure appeared once again and delivered a sharp slap across Cambion's face, snapping him out of his daze.
"What are you doing?" The hooded figure shouted at him.
Both Cambion and the hooded figure flinched and turned to see Prisania, who had vanished along with the Leader of the Assassination group.
They scanned their surroundings, only to find Mariel approaching calmly, a confident smirk on her face as she held an unconscious Asher Eli in her arms.
"H-How in the world did you catch up?" Cambion's voice trembled with surprise and fear. He had been certain he was out of her reach.
"What the heck were you thinking, underestimating me so much?" Mariel retorted with a frown, her eyes flashing with determination. She then turned to the hooded figure and asked, "So, this is your master?"
"Nah, it's someone else," Prisania interjected, materializing from Mariel's shadow.
"Did you get him back?" Mariel whispered to Prisania.
"Yeah, he's already in my shadow realm," Prisania confirmed, indicating that she had trapped the Leader of the Assassination group within her shadow.
Just like her father, Prisania possessed the ability to summon and contain things within her shadow realm.
"Good," Mariel nodded and looked at Eli in her arms, who was pretending to be unconscious. She couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss with Eli's behaviour. His alertness seemed heightened, indicating he might have a plan, though she couldn't discern its nature. This uncertainty only added to her wariness about this hooded figure and their motives for targeting Prisania.
Meanwhile, Cambion, seizing the opportunity with Mariel being alone, attempted to charm her once more, he couldn't do it before cause Evelina presented there who was able to break the charm.... "Come to me, I will ease your pain~" His words were coated with false allure as he winked at her seductively.
"VOOWW!!" Mariel's reaction was one of visceral disgust, nearly causing her to vomit at Cambion's insincere attempt to manipulate her.
"Fuck! Your father is really shit if he thinks that would work," Mariel vented her frustration to Prisania, who simply nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, he thinks he's handsome or something... yuck," Prisania added, her disdain for Cambion's tactics evident in her tone.
"Grrrrhh," Cambion growled in frustration, his charm failing miserably against Mariel also. He starting to doubt his charm power!
"Really good. Finally, you brought him to me... Hehe, I'm going to kill them along with that shit that's been bothering me..." The hooded figure's smile twisted into a sly grin behind its hood.
