Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Amara glanced at Max and indifferently said, “He is my new human slave who I found wandering around here. What? You have a problem with that?”

“N-No, young lady. I don’t have any problem.” The demon hurriedly shook his head before saying, “Please follow me, young lady. I’ll take you to the elders. I’ve already informed them about you.”

Whoosh!

Saying this, he flapped his wings and flew toward the exit of the forest. Amara was about to follow him when she suddenly remembered that Max couldn’t fly.

She then extended her hand toward him. Max thought she was asking him to hold her hand while they flew.

Just as he was about to grab her hand, a wave of demon energy burst out of Amara’s hand. It turned into a giant claw, which grabbed Max before lifting him up.

A light smile played on her blood-red lips and she softly whispered, “I apologise, Master, but we have to play our roles properly.”

Max looked into her eyes without saying anything for a moment. He then suddenly smiled at her. “Don’t worry. I understand.”

Seeing his smile, Amara’s heart palpitated.

“T-Thank you for your understanding, master.” She uneasily said before flying after the demon.

Since their sons died while accompanying her and they were here to look for her, she had to meet them and explain what happened.

It didn’t take them long before they arrived at the exit of the forest. Keritch, Seriath and their underlings had already gathered here and were waiting for Amara.

Seeing her fly over, everyone let out a breath of relief.

Whoosh!𝑂𝑣𝓛𝐞xt.𝚌𝒪𝔪

Amara and the demon landed in front of them. Everyone except Keritch and Seriath, who slightly bowed, went on one knee and greeted her, “Greetings, young lady Amara. We are glad you are safe.”

Amara didn’t even look in their direction and smiled at Keritch and Seriath. “It seems I’m not worthy enough in your eyes, right?”

“Mm? What do you mean, young lady?” Seriath asked with a confused look.

“You didn’t understand, huh?” Amara raised her brows. She then shifted her gaze to Keritch and asked, “How about you, elder Keritch? You must know what I’m talking about, right?”

Keritch flinched when he heard her question. He seemed to know what she meant, but he acted oblivious and said apologetically, “I apologise, young lady, but I also don’t know what did you mean.”

“Heh. That’s surprising, considering you are famous for your intelligence.” Amara mockingly said. She then pointed to the other demons who were kneeling on one knee and asked, “Can anyone of you tell me what they are doing and why are they doing, elder Seriath?”

Seriath glanced at them and answered, “They are kneeling to you because it’s the tribe’s rule to salute their superior by kneeling on one knee.”

“That’s right. Then tell me, when you meet my siblings, for example, Osmont, do you kneel to him?”

Hearing this, Seriath also understood what she was hinting at and his expression constricted, but he still answered, “Yes. I do.”

“Good.” Amara’s expression turned cold as she asked, “So, is it right for me to think that you two don’t think I’m worthy enough for you to kneel when you see me?”

“N-No. That’s not it, young lady. I just… um, forgot. Please forgive me.” Seriath said, but he still didn’t bow to her. The same was the case for Keritch. He only apologised but didn’t bow.

“I see. I understand.” Amara laughed, but everyone could feel she was very angry right now.

Flap!

She then flapped her wings and flew away, no intending to talk to them anymore. They also didn’t try to stop her seeing she was angry.

After she vanished on the horizon, Seriath glance at Keritch and asked, “What was that about? Why she was suddenly acting so high and mighty?”

“No clue. But she left without telling us anything about how our sons died.” Keritch said with a frown.

“That’s right. Could it be that she wanted to avoid our questioning by acting angry with that excuse?” Seriath asked.

“Your speculation might be correct, my lord.” The demon who brought Amara back spoke at this moment.

“Oh? Why do you think so?” Seriath asked with interest. He always loved when he could find the answer, while Keritch couldn’t.

The demon cleared his throat and said, “My lord. You must have seen that young lady Amara wasn’t alone, right?”

“Yes. I wanted to ask where she found that filthy two-star human, but she didn’t give me the chance.” Seriath nodded and then asked, “But how does that human relate to my speculation?”

“My lord. When the young lady come out of the tribe, only young lord Damon and young lord Rager accompanied her. However, both of them have died while she is unscathed and has an unknown human with her. Isn’t it strange?”

“Moreover, when I tried asking her about him, she said she was her new slave and she found him in the forest, but why would a human appear here? Shouldn’t he be in his pasture?” The demon explained his doubt.

“So, you are saying he could be behind our sons’ death? That two-star weakling who my son Damon could kill many times over in a second?” Seriath snorted, not believing Max’s involvement.

“I don’t know about the human, but there is really something amiss with her. She definitely had something she didn’t want us to find out. That’s why she pretended to be angry and went away without giving us an explanation about the situation.” Keritch said.

“Perhaps she was really angry? After all, she is the branch leader’s daughter and must have felt humiliated when we didn’t kneel to her.” Seriath said.

“Do you believe what you are saying? Which elder kneels to her in the tribe? No one. Have you ever heard that she got angry at any of them?” Keritch asked.

“Hmm. You have a point. But it’s all speculation in the end. We can only find the truth after asking her.” Seriath said. He then flapped his wings and flew in the tribe’s direction.

Keritch and other demons also flew after him.

…

After Amara and Max flew a few miles away, Max looked at her and asked, “What’s your status in your tribe?”

“The current branch leader, who is also an elder, albeit an ordinary one, in the main tribe, is my father.” She indifferently replied.

“Branch leader, huh? How strong is he?” Max curiously asked.

“He is a high stage king-ranked demon. He is the strongest in the tribe.” Amara replied.

Hearing this, Max was surprised. Her branch tribe was as strong if not stronger than the Green leaf kingdom and it was only an insignificant branch considering her father was only an ordinary elder in the main branch. So, how strong would the main branch be?

‘I have to remain low key while I’m in her tribe. If not, I wouldn’t even know how I died.’ He made a mental note. Although he had the system who used to be a supreme mage, he wasn’t sure if it could save him from a king ranked demon given its current weakened state.
