A7P4: Margel Dukedom, second son's rebbelion

At the same time the slave army and Demonic Kingdom's army marched towards each other, the second son of Duke Margel, Torvyn Margel, was preparing his men for attack on his father and brother.

Torvyn was only one who recognised the suspicious movement of royal faction and moved against it. Sucessfully protecting their northern and eastern borders.

"Darling, are you okay?" Orlea the succubus, asked Torvyn who was sitting on bed beside her.

"I... I wasn't able to convince father that our dukedom is in danger... he even said that you brainwashed me..." Torvyn shook uncontrolably with rage.

"Darling..." Orlea placed her hand lying next to him, she looked up to his face.

Torvyn wasn't the most handsome man under the sun, but he wasn't ugly as well. And to Orlea, who never experienced true love before, he was a perfect match. Of course she had her mission to brainwash him with magic, but she couldn't do that in the end.

What not just once crossed her mind was that she should bring him to her master, Demon king Zaru, and plea for the boys life.

Maybe, that was why she was so happy, when she learned that her master would welcome them, if only one requirement is met.

She knew that he himself wouldn't be able to pull of something as grand as rebellion against his own father. That's why she asked for help her sisters which were distributed through out the entire Margel dukedom and created force that could help her beloved.

For love, she would even bow her head to the most powerful people she knew.

For love, she would dirty her hands.

For love, she would kill all the humans on this continent.

Torvyn on the other hand, was purehearted boy and a fool. He belived that Orlea was hiding her demonic origins from everyone becouse of Human supremacy belives of the kingdom. In his eyes, all nobles of the Astenna kingdom should burn in hell, especially duke Durel, duke Darius and of course, his father.

"Darling, whatever path you choose, I will walk it with you. I am yours," Orlea said as she placed her head into Torvyn's lap, which calmed him down.

Few hours after that, first fires broke out in north and continued down south.

"What the hell is this? A full scale rebellion? Are they out of their mind? Do they don't remember that we have wyver riders?" the duke flew in rage from his chair.

"Indeed father! We should send our prestigious wyvern riders to crush them flat."

"Your highness! Report!" a knight bowed deeply before the duke.

"What is it?"

"Our Wyvern riders disappeared! Not a single one can be seen anywhere!"

"What?! How is that possible?!"

"We do not know your highness! But some think that they left after you exiled your second son."

"As if that good for nothing could do anything," the duke snorted and looked out of the window.

And in that moment he froze with fear.

That was becouse, out of thin air, a wyvern appeared with his second son on his back.

"Fu—"

The duke couldn't even finish his word as he was blasted into smitherness by wyverns dragon breath.

Thus, Torvyn defeated his own father and brother in one day.

"Lord, Torvyn! We have siezed all supporters of your father and brother! It's time for you to speake to the masses."

"Yes."

Torvyn faced Speaker stone, a device made by elves in ancient times, which allowed people to comunicate over long distances. This Speaker stone was simmilar to Ork kingdom's device, which allowed user speak to entire town, but Speaker stone could reach entire Margel dukedom.

"My people, you know me as Torvyn Margel, second son of the duke. During this day, me and my followers took over entire dukedom. You may ask, why we did it. And what lead us to that. I am here today to tell you just that," Torvyn make a pause and gazed strongly to the stone, like he was adressing the people face to face, "My father betrayed the kingdom and was selling the national secrets to all nations around us. But! The worst part isn't his betrayal! The response of Royals is even worse! Right about now, instead of helping Ester dukedom from monster flood, they collect their army for attack on our lands and pillage them! That isn't answer! For safety of our people, you, we had to move first. Sadly, safety inside the Astenna kingdom is not guaranteed. For that reason, I hereby proclaim our deflection to Demonic kingdom Zaruul!"

In that moment, black spheares appeared all around the dukedom out of thin air. These spheres, were called Dungeon Burst expantions, by exploding, they expanded the dungeon area in one swoop. To unlock these DBE's one had to collect high amount of DP in short amount of time have expanded the dungeon excesively in short amount of time and have at least ten Special A ranked monsters at command.

Torvyn fell back a little and was suported by Orlea.

"Good work darling. I belive you moved people's hearts. Now, you can rest easy," she patted his back and looked to a nearby shadow.

There, a smiling demoness was standing.

Orlea helped Torvyn to his room where his associates were waiting and met up with the demoness.

"You did well, miss Orlea," the demoness smiled.

"Please, think nothing of it. I just did what would be best for our lord," Orlea bowed deeply.

"Very well, I will stand down for now. And also I have a word from master for you, 'You can keep that man for yourself,' is what he said."

"Thank you very much," Orlea bowed deeply.

"Also, have this," the demoness handed Orlea a coin sized seed.

"What is this?" Orlea tilted her head.

"A fallen seed. An inferior version of Demon fruit. Those who eat it, will became Imps, in other words, lesser devils. Thus granting them longer lifespan. But, if he wishes to stay with you for eternity, he will have to get himself promoted to Horned devil at the very least."

"Ooooh! Thank you for this gift you've given! I shall strive with all my being to meet your expectations, Lady Capriel of Blue flame!"

"Please, call me just Capriel as our master, the Demon king, named me."

One of the demoness's Zaru summoned was a duke ranked demon which previously served to one of the four rulers of hell.

Valvonor, one of the seven sinful, is one of the four Kings of Hell, who came to this world with his army of demons. His missing presence put the entire hell into disorder and the remaining three kings started battling against each other.

It would be better to explain more about relationship between the four kings. Each one is connected to one element of nature. Valvonor with wind and the rest of the unnamed kings with fire, earth and water. Capriel was under ruleship of King of fire as an unnamed demon.

Demons from start of their life are divided into ranks of Baron, Count, Earl, Marquis, Duke and King. Also, when named, they evolve into true demons which are stronger then their previous rank. Henceforth, Capriel being a Duke rank get power to fight King on almost equal footing.

"Well, I should be on my way now. Lord Zaru is advancing south at this very moment and I wish to witness his might."

"That is understandible Lady Capriel, have a safe trip," Orlea bowed to the demoness.

Capriel waved her hand and disappeared into darkness. Orlea hold the Fallen seed close to her heart and smiled to herself, "for all eternity with my darling, fufufuu... I'm looking forward to our life together~"

"H-how? Th-that's not possible..." duke Ester E. Ester looked terrified at borders between Margel and Ester dukedoms.

On the other side of the borders, his army that was used to exterminate monsters was massacred by wyvern riders.

"Your grace! The enemy is tougher then we expected! Please order a retreat!"

"Yes... retreat. They don't attack anyone who stays on this side of border it seems..." young duke was at complete lost for words. Somehow, the wyverns strenghten when mysterious black spheres started bursting everywhere. That was a side effect of burst expantions, they temporarely strenghten monsters inside the area.

"Your grace! Message from second advance unit! They are aboutto be annihilated. The first advanced unit is not responding."

"Your grace! The mercenaries have scattered!"

"Your highness! Message from other side! We are part of demonic kingdom of Zaruul from now on. If you attack, we will retaliate with strenght of the entire kingdom!"

"We need to pull back... how... just how did this happen?"

♦

"The second son of Duke Margel, Torvyn Margel, staged rebellion and took over the dukedom. After that he declared deflection to Demonic kingdom due to unfair treatment of other races... that is what states the report..." messenger reported to the king and the third princes Monica blushed behind her fan.

The king dissmissed the messenger and in moment the doors closed behind him, a demoness appeared.

"This isn't as we agreed," the king grumbled and stared at the demoness.

"Oh, please your majesty keep calm. Even we didn't expected that to happen," Capriel smiled warmly.

"But you aren't opposed to it in the slightest."

"The boy, Torvyn Margel, is only one on Margel dukedom who was deemed useful by his majesty the Demon king. We planned to kidnap him when you attack the dukedom but this was a plesant surprise."

"You don't have to say that twice," princess smiled mysteriously behind her fan.

"Also, on that note. Our king wishes to give you this as an apology," Capriel said and placed a golden box on a table.

"And what's this supposed to be?" the princess asked.

"If you pour your magic into it, an emergency call will be send to our dungeon. And if our king deems it troublesome, then he will issue a forced teleportation to four closest people to this box. After said teleportation, those four will be treated as state guests."

"Isn't that too good to be true?" princess Monica asked and her face started to get hotter and hotter.

"Our king said that this item is single use. So you should think twice before using it if missused, he will give a different order." Capriel said and disappeared in the shadows again.

"Monica, keep the box on you."

"Understood father. Should I use it with someone from family or..."

"Maids will be fine. You have some interesting one don't you?" the king asked a question he already knew answer for.

"Indeed," princess smiled.

The maids in question were from demihuman tribes rarely seen in this part of the continent, all slaves of course.

I look forward to our life together, my demon king, the princess smiled.
