Chapter 95: I Made A Laxative

Perseus POV

"What kind of drug are you using this time?" Lilith asked the night before the play

"A laxative."

"What? Why?"

"Tomorrow the guest will all join together for breakfast and by the time the play almost end, it should start taking effects."

"That's when our parts are over, but won't poisoning them make more sense?" she questioned

If someone's following you or if you know you're in trouble, going home is a terrible move cuz a person can follow you there, the safest place would be in the public's eye, and that's why this play is a good place for them to hide. They know that this play is open to certain members of the public and I might sneak in, but I wouldn't be idiotic enough to kill them while they're surrounded by people.

So the best way is to simply pull them out of the public's eye and kill them that way, I can't use poison, too much effort and there will be tasters this time, I didn't have enough time to find ones that can go around that. Regular and simple assassination will get me jailed a couple days at best, since they probably told their confidants what I threatened them with, and I will be the named suspects, but it will work.

I'm not wasting my time on torture, I plan to end all of this quick and give those who I can't kill the fear of everything. They wouldn't be able to eat anything without checking.

I already sneaked super tiny amounts for the rest of my cast today , different doses so some will relieve themselves right before the play at the longest, no one will need to use the esteemed guest bathroom or the cast bedroom towards the end of the play apart from those who will suffer a very humiliating death at the bathroom.

I'm not telling any of this to Lilith, she is after all a general, she will definitely keep most of the things we talk about private, but...she can definitely tell the demon lord on how I think and an enemy's accurate prediction might be my downfall. My tactics aren't the most effective, but they're unorthodox enough to help.

So if my enemy start thinking my way, it won't be long till they get accurate enough to stop me.

I mean, no one in this world thought of using a laxative in such a way, a humiliating way to die, painless, but their prides will be broken, especially at the brief moment when their souls saw the way they died after the attack.

"Why are you looking at me weird?" she asked

"Has anyone ever told you that you have a beautiful smile?"

"Yes, many times, if you think you can get me flustered easily, you won't." she sighs "I'm a goddess, I have years on you in this game, I even dated a hero once as a demon general."

"Well, I just gotta be the first to marry you."

"The day I marry you is the day you manage to find my parents."

"I'll take that bet."

"I was implying that it's impossible." she facepalmed "Some men really are just dense and idiotic."

That was one of my goals anyway and I'm the protagonist always have luck in the most stupid of things, like accidently stumbling upon a super hot girl imprisoned in some dungeon or whatever, one of the guys happened to have white hair too, he found this blonde vampire and got a harem afterwards, I know, very specific. He also got a metal arm...

I won't say the name.

It was similar for me since Leilah was technically imprisoned on the moon, but luck is luck and I got a very beautiful woman.

Lilith POV

He's a strange man, what does Leilah see in him for her to get along with him? I get that he's interesting, but at this rate, she might really turn into a mortal just so she can be with him. Might is an understatement, more like she will.

He didn't tell me the reason for using a laxative instead of poison, I can't tell what he's thinking as he went for his good night sleep. I crouch by his bed, he got rid of his disguise and his features are definitely more than qualified to be an attractive man, but what?

The black rose, the strongest rose who somehow is stronger than the white rose and the gap is bigger now, I can sense it. Though he can't recognize me, I still keep track of Alban's growth, he's reached his limit and is now dependent on his champion to grow stronger to boost him as well.

Leilah is at her limit as well, her growth is now dependent on him, the more stars he have, the stronger their connection and stronger she'll become, at his 4 star, she's already stronger than Alban whose champion is at the 9th star. Perseus' party will be amongst the strongest group in the future, at least 3rd after the heroes and the demon generals, even though the gap is huge between the heroes and the general. Individually, the demon lord is the strongest, and Perseus will be second.

But his ability to make people do things against their will and his ability to create lifelike illusions, it's only scratching the surface, amongst the helpless humans, he was classified as an apocalyptic level threat, that's not something that should be looked down upon

But he then pulled me onto his bed in his sleep and wrapped his arm around me. After which he kissed my forehead and whispered goodnight, he must've confused me with Leilah.

"Don't worry, I'm slightly awake." he whispered "You really don't get flustered easily."

I hate him, he's very domineering and loves to get things to go his way.

"Why were you watching me? Were you enticed?" he smirked

"Don't be so arrogant, you're still shorter and weaker than me."

"Just sleep, Leilah pretty much gave me the habit of no longer want to sleep alone, it's pretty comfortable with someone sleeping beside you."
