[A blood Oath is calling forth and making a pact with the divine. You have invoked this oath, and now, the body shall pay the price]

In her foolishness and desire to have her revenge, Concubine Anabella, the fifth wife of King Julius III, ends up making the forbidden pact. In exchange for her life and the lives of 1000 other people, she begged the demon kind to help make her crippled son the next emperor.

She wanted to call an angel to help her, but she ended up calling the First Demon Lord instead and died before she could pay the full price.

Now stuck in the body of the crippled illegitimate ninth prince, the First Demon Lord had one goal – to regain his power and make this crippled body the next emperor of this continent.

And in his goal, nothing shall remain forbidden. There are no boundaries, and human greed is his bridge.

He, who the god once damned, shall rise again to regain control of the human race and take his place at the top of the human race once more.

The dawn of the Damned race should come soon.

Festivals are more than just celebrations," Fenrir said, his tone turning serious. "They're gatherings of life force—energy generated by the joy, excitement, and presence of so many people in one place. This festival isn't just a show of strength for New Portland. It's an opportunity to cultivate power."

Maric frowned. "Life force? You mean to say you're going to draw energy from the crowd?"

Fenrir nodded. "Not just from the crowd. Festivals attract external presences—wandering spirits, minor gods, and other entities. Their energy mingles with the life force of the living, creating a unique opportunity for someone like me."

Maric was silent for a moment, processing Fenrir's words. Finally, he said, "And this child you're incorporating into the temple—what's his role in all this?"
