The Three Servants hated it when one of them horned in on the territory of another, which was a source of frustration for Luminus. A single appearance from me is all this needs, no? Then we can eliminate the source.” “Louis,” Luminus grudgingly interrupted, “that’s enough from you. If Hinata is killed, what would Luminus…?”

“I come to you both now because I don’t want them to cross swords. “Such silly concerns! Although, if it is the demon lord Rimuru she crosses swords with, prudence would certainly be in order…” “But if we leave things be for much longer, we run the risk of losing your beloved Hinata as well, I fear.” “Honestly,” Gunther griped at Louis as he helped her change, “bothering her with such trivial nonsense…”

The fact that she preferred the ceremony of manually putting on her outfit over some instant magical transformation was a telling indicator of her form-over-function tastes. With a measured hand, Gunther assisted Luminus with her clothing. All three were also Luminus’s bodyguards Luminus was currently in a burial chamber situated deep inside Nightgarden, and Gunther was keeping watch over her nearby. Louis was her point man on the emperor’s throne, Gunther within the city of Nightgarden, and the late Roy her stand-in demon lord as a deterrent against outside propaganda. Now he emerged from the darkness, one of the Three Servants under her control and almost on her level of power. Gunther was an elderly vampire in Luminus’s service, a butler who had joined her at Walpurgis. With a weary sigh, Luminus removed herself from the casket, left the burial chamber, and called for a servant. Louis gave her the truth, as revealed by his own investigations. I tacitly allowed her to do so, but things have apparently grown complicated.” “Hinata has moved to defeat Rimuru, the root of all this evil. It was rare for him to speak up like this, and she could easily imagine it being an emergency. The sound of his voice annoyed her, but she put up with it. It was Louis, the one she had enlisted to be Holy Emperor of Lubelius. “I apologize for interrupting your fun, but there is something I wish to inform you of.” One of her trusted associates made contact with her. So instead she lovingly caressed it, hoping for the day when she’d finally be able to release the girl sleeping inside… Even the bruising was bliss itself.Įven a demon lord with Luminus’s powers was incapable of breaking the casket. As a vampiric demon lord, this whole casket was like poison to her. It was an ark, a pure block of holy force, and thus damaging to Luminus. Whenever she touched this casket, it left a burn-like mark on her beautiful skin. This was the demon lord Luminus Valentine, Queen of Nightmares and ruler of the night. Whenever she opened those lips, her bloodred tongue and milky-white fangs would bare themselves. But what struck any observer of her the most were the two prominent white canines jutting out from both sides of her lips. They brought out her traditional beauty, enhancing it to another level. Her skin, as pale as the white-hot sun, burned a shade of red as she let out a satisfied sigh.īeholding this girl in the coffin, and showering her with love, was the secret delight of this charming silver-haired figure, her red-and-blue eyes flickering as they let out their ominous glow. A figure was in front of her, also nude, as she embraced the casket with an eerie smile on her spellbound face. In the land of eternal night, within a burial chamber unknown to the world, encased in a casket of ice, there was a beautiful, dark-haired, naked girl.
