Strongest Mage With The Lust System - Chapter 406 I Don't Want Her Scent On You

Hearing this question, Orlan smirked. “The higher authorities have decided to take those complacent bastards by surprise. By the time they would know that we have arrived more than half a year before the stipulated time and gather their forces, we would have already established a firm foothold there, unlike other times. After that, we will slowly reclaim our land.”

The Watcher raised his brows and said, “It seems this time’s war is going to be too fierce and too disastrous.”

“Hahaha, that’s a given.” Orlan laughed and then seriously said, “I’m planning to send both Osmont and Ashroth with the first army.”

“Have you gone mad?” The Watcher almost shouted out. “If you send Ashroth with Osmont, he will definitely die.”

“Don’t worry, he will be safe.” Orlan calmly said.

The watcher wanted to say something, but Orlan stopped him and waved his hand, “Go. You favourite nephew is going to be ‘free’ today. You should celebrate with them.”

…

Whoosh!

When Amara rushed out of the hall, it attracted everyone’s attention. The two old demon guards bowed to her respectfully and then removed the barrier around Max.

Keritch and Seriath wanted to stop her and ask her questions, but Amara didn’t even glance at them. After nodding at the two guards, she grabbed Max and flew to the west side of the mansion where the prison was.

Seriath frowned when he saw her fly away and shouted, “Young lady, please wait for a moment and tell me how my son died?”

Amara, however, ignored him and soon disappeared from their sight.

Just as Seriath and Keritch were about to fly after her, the door to the hall opened once again and the Watcher walked out.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Immediately, everyone fell to their knees. Their eyes flashing with respect and fear.

The Watcher position, identity and strength, none of them were ordinary. He held the Watcher’s position and was in-charge of supervising the whole branch tribe. As for his identity and strength, he was branch leader Orlan’s brother and was a peak five-star demon.

He glanced at Seriath and Keritch and indifferently said, “If you want to know what happened, go and meet the branch leader. Don’t keep pestering that girl.

“Yes, lord Watcher.” Keritch and Seriath obediently nodded.

“Hm!” The watcher nodded. He then flapped his wings and flew away.

Although as a five-star demon, he could fly even without his wings, but the winged beings felt more comfortable while using their wings to fly. Moreover, if they used their wings, they wouldn’t have to spend their energy which was otherwise needed to fly.

After he went away, everyone stood up.

“Let’s go. We need to know who killed our sons.” Keritch said before entering the hall. Seriath also followed him in.

…

On the west side of the branch leader’s mansion was a huge black villa. It was the tribe’s prison.

Whoosh!

Amara landed in front of the villa’s gate. When the guards saw her, they kneeled in greeting.

Amara nodded before looking past the villa’s gate. She was very excited and happy right now, but forced herself to keep a calm expression on her face.

Seeing her stand there, the guards exchanged glances and smiled wryly but didn’t say anything.

This wasn’t their first time seeing this, since Amara would come here at least once every month. She would just stand there, looking past the gate with longing eyes.

Sometimes, they wanted to let her enter and meet her big brother. Unfortunately, they were strictly ordered not to let anyone in without permission.

Clank! Clang! Clang!

Just then they heard the sound of heavy metal doors opening deep inside the prison.

“Hm? Was someone going to be released today?” A guard asked in confusion.

eαglesnᴏνel “No. I checked in the morning. There was no such thing.” Another guard shook his head.

Step! Step! Step!

Just when they were wondering about it, they heard footsteps approaching before a deep voice sounded out from within.

“Open the gates. Young Lord Ashroth has been pardoned of all his crimes and is free from now on.”

Hearing this, they came to a realisation and hurriedly opened the gates. Some of the guards looked at Amara, who was smiling for the first time in front of them, and congratulated her.

Amara nodded in response, her gaze still fixed toward the depths of the villa.

The sounds of footsteps slowly became louder, indicating that the person was nearing them.

After a while, everyone saw a handsome demon youth in white robes slowly walking out. If not for his blood-red eyes and bat wings on his back, Max would think he was a handsome human scholar.

‘White clothes?’ Max raised a brow.

All the demons he had seen until now wore either black or red clothes. So, it was slightly odd to see someone wear white robes.

His facial features were slightly similar to Amara, but unlike her, who always wore a serious and cold expression all the time, he had a calm expression and a light smile playing on his face. His blood-red eyes had a deep look in them, indicating he wasn’t a rash person.

“Your brother seems quite extraordinary.” He said to Amara in a low voice.

Amara didn’t reply, but the proud look on her face told him she was very happy to hear the compliment.

Just then, Ashroth, who was walking leisurely, noticed Amara standing in front of the building. A gentle look appeared in his eyes and then suddenly,

Whoosh!

He disappeared and appeared in front of Amara. His speed left everyone, including Max, aghast.

‘What speed!’ Everyone exclaimed in their minds.

A curious guard said in a hushed voice, “When the young Lord was imprisoned, he was just a middle-stage three-star demon. But after two years, he seems to have become a lot stronger and from the looks, it doesn’t seem he suffered in the prison at all.”

“Do you think the branch leader’s son would suffer like ordinary people in the prison? You are too naïve.” A guard scoffed.

While most of the guards were engaged in the discussion, a guard standing at the back took out his communication crystal and sent a message, “Young Lord, for some reason, young Lord Ashroth has just been released.”

…

Inside a room lit with red light, Osmont was sitting crossed legged. In front of him was a large pot of blood.

He picked up the pot and just as he was about to drink the blood, he stopped and took out his communication crystal.

When he heard what was the message,

Boom!

His demon energy burst out and he crushed the pot in his hand, growling, “WHY WAS HE RELEASED?”

Whoosh!

Just then, a demon appeared in front of him out of nowhere and kneeled down before saying, “Young Lord, it was the lord Watcher who ordered his release after meeting the branch leader.”

“Father released him? Why? Is he trying to fight my mother’s family?” Osmont murmured in confusion.

A moment later, he regained his calm, stood up and said with a smirk, “Let’s go greet my dear brother.”

Whoosh!

He then opened the door and flew in the prison’s direction with his subordinate.

…

“Little girl. How are you?” Ashroth gently asked Amara.

Tears appeared in Amara’s eyes, and she threw herself in his arms. “I missed you so much, big brother.”

Ashroth loving patted her back, “Shh! Silly girl. I also missed you a lot.”

Then suddenly, he noticed something and asked in surprise, “You awakened your bloodline?”

With tears still in her eyes, Amara smiled, “Yes. I did.”

“That’s good.” Ashroth smiled and then asked, “I assume you asked father to release me?”

“Yes.” Amara nodded.

“Sigh! You shouldn’t have wasted such an opportunity on me.” Ashroth sighed.

Amara pouted in displeasure, “It’s not a waste at all. Big brother’s freedom is worth more than anything to me.”

Ashroth smiled but didn’t say anything. But he sighed inwardly. ‘I was going to be released soon, anyway. It’s such a waste.’

Suddenly, his gaze landed on Max standing behind Amara, and a frown appeared on his face.

“Why is a lowly human following you? What happened to your servants?” He asked.

Hearing the question, Amara calmly said, “A few days ago in the dead forest, he saved my life. That’s why I have taken him under my wing.”

“Saved your life? What happened?” Hearing this, Ashroth became concerned.

Although she didn’t want to lie to him, she still repeated the same story which she told Orlan.

Ashroth’s brows knitted together as he said, “I’ll investigate who it was.”

He then smiled at her, “But little girl, your luck is truly good to enter such a high levelled legacy land.”

Amara only smiled in return.

After that, Ashroth glanced at Max and said, “Although I don’t want a human near my sister, but since you risked your life to save her, I’ll allow you to serve her.”

Saying this, he paused for a moment before adding, “Now hurry and go wash yourself. I don’t want my precious little sister’s scent on your filthy person.”

Hearing this, both Amara and Max flinched.
