Andromeda narrowed her eyes at Dracula after she entered the room where he was waiting since she saw him just standing there, and Dracula quickly realized his mistake when he saw Talia bow from beside him! He quickly bowed as well as a sign of respect! Even if he was conflicted in his emotions, that's no reason for him to disrespect one of the demon lord's personal servants!

"I apologize. I was lost in my thoughts and I made an error."

Dracula apologized quickly when he bowed and Andromeda finally told them to stand. Andromeda asked Dracula what he wanted and Dracula stayed silent for a while as he tried to organize his thoughts properly so that he would give a good explanation.

Dracula began at the beginning and he told Andromeda about how the mermaids and the lizardmen have been having a territorial conflict for the last few months. Andromeda nodded her head as she already knew about it! The demon lord told all the members of his household to leave the two races to handle their conflict by themselves so there is nothing that Andromeda could do about it.

"Did you come here to seek help from the demon lord? Don't tell me you are incapable of handling such a simple matter by yourself and you wish to involve the demon lord pointlessly. Have you gone mad?"

Andromeda looked towards Talia as she said this and Talia quickly waved her hand in the negative! Of course, it is nothing like that! Talia would never bring the demon lord to such a petty squabble! Andromeda narrowed her eyes slightly before turning back to Dracula and asking him what they wanted if t was not about the conflict.

"I was requested to help the mermaids by Talia here and I went into the lizardmen's territory to strike a deal that would be beneficial to both races. But the lizardmen would not listen and I threatened them to a deal I believed would be benefiting everyone, but then... They exploded"

Shock passed through Andromeda and she did her best not to allow it to show on her face. Was that what the mana wave was earlier? Andromeda felt a mana wave that passed through eh entire kingdom earlier. It was faint and Andromeda knew that it came from a far place. Is that the explosion that Dracula is talking about!?

"Who caused the explosion? Was it someone from the lizardmen tribe?"

Andromeda asked this and Dracula told her that he didn't know who caused the explosion. There was a feeling of bloodlust that filled the cave before the explosion suddenly decimated the entire area. This blow will be too large for the lizardmen, and without a leader, it will take more than a century for them to get back to the way they once were.

"I request to report this to the demon lord. I believe it is too important to leave our lord in the dark."

Dracula waited for Andromeda to say something, but Andromeda just pursed her lips in worry as she wondered what this could mean! Was there another entity that was unknown to them? The only entity that could try something like this on the demon's soil were the devils. the humans didn't have the magic power, or the confidence to attack the demons lord like this. Anger surged inside Andromeda as she thought about this! The devils and humans have taken a lot away from Andromeda and she hated every single one of them! If it was a devil that did this, then she wouldn't ever spare it!

Andromeda looked at Dracula and finally spoke.

"The demon lord has left for an important mission. Right now, I am in charge of all matters involving the demon world. We shall deal with this matter before our master returns. I want you to go back to your home and prepare a scout regiment that can move fast and unseen through the demon continent. Search through every town and village and report back if you see any abnormal mana signature in that area. I will send my familiars out to see what I can find in the lizardmen region."

As Dracula heard this he was shocked! The demon lord is not here!? Where the hell did the demon lord go!? Dracula wanted to ask this question but he didn't even dare! It was this place to know what the demon does in his time! Dracula would just do as he was told and hope that this matter is not going to escalate more than this!

Dracula wondered if the enemy knew that the demon lord was not here and that is why they decided to attack. No, that would be silly. The demon lord did not announce his departure, so there is no way that they would have known. That means that the enemy is not afraid of the demon lord. They don't fear repercussions from the demon lord and they are willing to attack the demons even though they know that the demon lord is here!

[Andromeda!]

A shout suddenly came through a communication circle that appeared on Andromeda's ear! It was so loud that Dracula could even hear it from where he was standing! The person that shouted was Rizi and Andromeda put her hand up to her ear and spoke to Rizi!

"Yes? What is it!?"

Rizi's voice came out in a rushed, breathy tone that showed that she had been running, and what she said next shocked Andromeda to the core!

[We're under attack! Do some is attacking the demon lord's castle!]

It felt like a dream, and for one small second, Andromeda thought that she would wake up in her bed in her room and that would be the end of it! Maybe this was just another dream that would end soon! But that only lasted for a second and Andromeda immediately allowed her face to morph into a sneer of anger! How dare they!? Who is the foolish trash that would dare to come to the demon lord's castle and cause a problem!? How dare they insult their lord like this!?

Andromeda spoke to Rizi in a rushed, clipped tone!

"They must not escape! No matter what you do, focus all of our firepowers on making sure that they do not escape! Send every single familiar out and surround the perimeter so they can not go far! I want their head so we can present it to master!"

It was one thing for someone to attack the demon lord's castle, but it was another thing for them to escape after attacking the demon lord's castle! Andromeda was going to make sure that such a thing never happens! They are going to find that person and they are going to kill them!

Booooomm!

The sound of an explosion rocked the ground underneath Andromeda's tail and she growled in anger and started to slither out of the meeting room and threw out orders to all of the maids around!

"I want everyone to go out there this instant! Send your familiars out and find where the intruder is! I want them dead in the next five minutes or else it will be your head instead! We're under attack and we're going to fucking kill them before doing anything else!"

If there were one thing that Andromeda was good at, it was threatening people! Andromeda was very shy in front of the demon lord and the other members of the demon lord's household because she always thought that she was not good enough to be a part of his household, but when it comes to dealing with mere maids and humans, Andromeda was like a different person! She could order them around and shout at them like they were trash!

Behind Andromeda, Dracula and Talia were following quickly as they tried to understand what the hell was going on! Dracula could only stare at Andromeda and wonder if this was some sort of joke! Did she just say that the demon lord's castle was under attack!?

Is that person insane!?
