WHO SLEPT WITH THE PRINCESS?
"There will be an exciting read on the Socialite column tomorrow. Did you plan this all along as a revenge on that Spiros for bullying your alter-ego when he was young?" Ratatouille asked me.
"I didn't plan it this way. It was a close call. It could have ended badly for me in the party if that Ennea had her way", I told them.
"What happened there at the party? We missed a lot it seems. You slept with the Matriarch?" Rinna asked me angrily.
"Don't blame me. It was Sara", I replied to her.
"I don't understand. What happened there at the party? I was with you most of the time", Meera said to me.
"Sara discovered something was amiss in the party, so she scanned our surroundings. She found the Diabolese people preparing a battle arena inside the residence of the Demetriodes", I told them.
"Why are they preparing an arena for? Who is going to fight there on the prince's engagement night?" Chash asked us.
"That is it, who is going to fight? Unless someone would be forced to fight there", I replied to them.
"And the person they plan to force a fight is with you?" Cassandra asked me.
"It is likely. The Matriarch of Diabolese is Princess Ennea. I killed her already. Why is she back here and married to Spiros?" I asked them.
"Is she seeking vengeance on you for almost killing her?" Rinna asked me.
"No, she is not the real Princess Ennea", Sara told us.
"How do you know?" Rinna asked her.
"Because Sara is the one who went into Ennea's bedroom and slept with her", I replied to them to their shock and horror.
"I didn't sleep with her. It was your Malevolent Slave", Sara clarified.
"Wait, Did Sara or your Malevolent Slave sleep with Princess Ennea?" Ratatouille asked.
"You should start explaining from the beginning", Rinna told us.
"At first, I didn't know what Ennea was planning although I know she wants a duel with me. If she came back for vengeance, she would make me fight in the arena and the one who will fight with me will definitely be Spiros, the first ranked Knight Templar", I told them and explained.
"Making you fight with Spiros is not a good way to extract vengeance from you. Besides, if it was just to fight with you, she could make Spiros come challenge you in the Magic Arena", Meera asked.
"Firstly, they won't challenge me to the Magic Arena because they cannot come up with the wager. I would definitely wager no less than a billion Aur", I replied to them.
"That is reasonable", Chash added.
"Secondly, that Emily is really suspicious. She asked me to go with her to meet somewhere and I could smell rat immediately. It must be a trap of some kind", I told them.
"That is a stretch of the imagination", Ratatouille said to me.
"Think about it. Emily first gave me the poisoned wine in the Diabolese mansion. Then she appeared to me in the Demetrius mansion. There must be a connection somewhere and it has something to do with the poisoned wine", I told them.
"So, you are saying that Emily wanted to trick you in the Diabolese mansion first but failed because you left early. Then she tries again in Ennea's engagement party?" Cassandra asked me.
"What is with the poisoned wine?" Meera added and asked.
"The poisoned wine contains Blood magic", Rinna told us to our surprise.
"What? Blood magic?" Ratatouille asked in shock and surprise.
"Red Witch found out it wasn't poison inside the wine but blood magic although there is not enough of it to cause me problems. But it could be detected", I told them.
"So that is why there are so many priests in the engagement party and possibly even an apostle there. They wanted to frame you for possessing blood magic", Meera speculated.
"It is possible. Emily's father was persecuted because he practiced dark magic, what better revenge against me than letting the world know I am a Blood magic practitioner. The apostles would arrest me on the spot if the blood magic in my blood was revealed", I told them.
"You already drank the bloodied wine. They could reveal you there in the party", Chash said to me.
"Having a small amount of blood magic in my body may not be fatal to my case. I could always explain that someone poisoned me with blood magic laced wine and there may be many who would believe it", I told them.
"So, what are their plans?" Rinna asked us.
"Initially, this was an unsolved mystery, but Sara solved it", I told them as we looked at Sara.
"At first, I took on his bloody face to check what that Emily was up to while he remained in the party talking to the guests. If these people were to frame him for something, he would have a good alibi in the party", Sara told us.
After I talked to Emily at the party, I went to Sara and asked for her help.
She would transform into my face and go with Emily while I stayed behind in the party and talked to the nobles. If Emily were to frame me for something, for anything, I would have the perfect alibi.
"Indeed, with hindsight, Emily and Ennea did set up a trap for me. They laced their bedroom with hallucinogens containing aphrodisiac to make me fall for Ennea. Then Emily would bring Spiros to crash into the room to discover the adultery. Thinking that I was sleeping with his fiancé, Spiros would challenge and fight with me, and we would end up dueling to the death, in the arena prepared in the mansion", I explained to them.
"That is an overstretch of the imagination. In the end it is just a fight with Spiros, where is the ploy in that?" Ratatouille asked us.
"I discovered their ploy when I touched the bloody Ennea and found out", Sara told us.
"What did you find out?" Rinna asked her.
"This Ennea is not the real Ennea. She is the Blood Queen Euaemon", Sara told us to our shock.
RATATOUILLE WILL ENJOY THE DEMON QUEEN
In my previous life, I've had physical contact with the blood Queen Euaemon and Sara, who was my AI controller then, recorded the experience.
When her body touched Ennea, she found the same magic on her as the Blood Queen Euaemon.
"Even if Ennea is the Blood Queen, I still don't see what the conspiracy is?" Ratatouille asked us again.
"That explains it. If the Blood Queen is there, the Bloodfiend could be there too. During the planned fight between Spiros and husband, the Bloodfiend will secretly cast Blood magic in the arena for all to see especially the priests and apostles, and most likely defeat Spiros with the vile magic, making it look like the magic originated from husband", Rinna told us her speculation.
"After the battle, they would ensure the priests will check both Spiros and me for our magic. When they discover blood magic already inside of my body, nothing I say will explain away my role as the Bloodfiend", I explained to them.
"Only the Blood Queen can come up with an evil and elaborate scheme like this. If husband is implicated as the Bloodfiend, he would be arrested by the Church and all the properties of the Kaleon family would be confiscated and the Diabolese family, being the only family in Tarah city not friendly or affiliated with us, will be ready to grab them", Rinna added.
"Wow, one misstep and it would ruin everything for us", Chash commented to us and sighed.
"Another thing. Back to the Malevolent Slave. Who slept with the Blood Queen?" Cassandra asked with amusement and curiosity.
"I will never touch the bitch for longer than I must. When I found out she was the Blood Queen, I covered her face with blanket and disappeared leaving the disgusting deed to the wretched slave", Sara told us.
"My Malevolent Slave was following Sara to help her when she needed it, and to keep abreast of what was happening there and he took Sara's place when she suddenly turned invisible. The adultery with Ennea was actually with my Malevolent Slave who stayed to uncover the rest of the plot", I told them to their amusement.
"Hey don't you have a psychic connection with your Malevolent Slave, you are as good as being there with the Blood Queen, enjoying her sexy body", Ratatouille accused me as my wives looked at me furiously.
"Yes, I do have a psychic connection with my Malevolent Slave but they have their own thoughts and experiences that are not shared with me", I replied defending myself.
"I can tell immediately, the slave didn't enjoy the experience", Ratatouille added cheekily.
"Next time I'll send you. You'll enjoy it", I replied to him while we all laughed.

"It is all your fault. You made me into the laughingstock of the entire city and kingdom", Prince Spiros shouted at his fiancé, Princess Ennea.
"Why will they laugh at you?" Princess Ennea asked him.
"Look at these bloody newspapers", Spiros said to her as he threw a bundle of newspaper to the princess.
The princess took the newspapers to read them.
"Prince Spiros' fiancé dreams of sleeping with the Bully on their engagement day."
"Spiros jealous of his fiancé's wet dream"
"Spiros can't satisfy his woman"
"Prince Spiros is a Eunuch"
"These are all made up. You shouldn't be angry about what is not real", Princess Ennea told Spiros.
"Not real? The whole city thinks it's real now because of this gossip", Prince Spiros told his fiancé.
"You will know better if its real or not", Ennea told him.
"You bitch. Do you think I can't satisfy you too? That is why you will not sleep with me?" Spiros asked Ennea angrily.
"The servants are satisfied. I'm sure of it", Princess Ennea replied to her fiancé.
"You bitch. I want you now", Prince Spiros told Princess Ennea as he ripped off his own shirt to force himself on her.
But suddenly, many invisible guards appeared before the princess to stop Spiros.
"Who are these guards?" Spiros asked his fiancé angrily.
"Come on dear. The root of your problem is with the Duke of Oriese, not with yourself or me. You should kill that bastard before I'll let you touch me", Princess Ennea told Spiros.
"Yes, I will kill this Oriese", Spiros screamed as he rushed out of the room.
"Is the fool going to challenge that bastard Oriese?" The Dark lord asked his daughter.
"He will but I would doubt Oriese will accept his challenge unless he paid a large wager to fight in the Magic Arena", Princess Ennea replied to him.
"We can't have them fight in the Magic Arena. That will foil our plans. If I summon my blood magic in the Magic Arena, the enchantment there will reveal me", The Dark lord said to his daughter.
"That Oriese managed to foil my plans for him which is pleasantly surprising. We have finally had a competent adversary", Princess Ennea told the Dark lord.
"What happened in the bedroom? I thought you were with that Oriese but hundreds of people saw him at the party the whole night. Who was it that came here?" Dark Lord asked her.
"We have another face changer to deal with and one who can turn invisible too and competently", Princess Ennea replied to him.
"This bastard is not easy to deal with. Why don't you just let me kill him", Dark Lord asked.
"This Duke of Oriese managed to kill all the legendary knights of the Noble House and two of the top ranked Knight Templars of the Knight Templar Academy, he may not be someone easy to assassinate, even for you", Princess Ennea replied to her father.
"We still must do something about him, he has been foiling our plans to take over this damn kingdom", The Dark Lord asked.
"I have another plan", Princess Ennea replied to him.
-----
"Where did your father, Prince Heller, learn his dark magic from?" Cardinal Ecter asked Emily who was tied to the walls with heavy chains.
"I don't know anything about that. I am innocent. If I know powerful dark magic, I will not be so easily caught by you people", Emily replied to the cardinal.
"Suit yourself. The apostles will bring you back to the Monastery of Elis for reformation. You will tell us everything when you are there", Cardinal Ecter told Emily.
"No", Emily protested to him.
Cardinal Ecter had nothing more to ask the accused deviant girl and was about to leave the dungeon. Then Emily grabbed the Cardinal's arm before pulling him closer to say something to him.
"What are you talking about?" Cardinal Ecter asked Emily.
