If Abyss Dominator's fears were genuine, it would be difficult for Evan to kill him, who lay helpless and kept apologizing to Evan to spare his life.
'Huff, luckily I got my instincts under control then, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find out that this brat is one of the loyal subordinates of the True Dragon King like Lucia and Piwood. But I have to confirm what him says first.' Evan sighed after the turmoil in his heart gradually subsided after seeing how helpless the Abyss Dominator was.
But, it was natural for Evan, who was once a knight, to still have suspicions about his enemy. He continued to use the Fearful Evil Eyes and Paralyzing Evil Eyes skills until he was certain that the Abyss Dominator could be conquered.
After hearing the confession that the boy was lying, he wanted to try the Tyrannical Home feature on Abyss Dominator. Instead of killing the boy, Evan wanted the boy to join Darkness Castle instead.
He wanted to do that because having the boy would help increase the castle's combat power and be used to complete the mission to dominate a third of the land.
"It's good that you're honest. But, I certainly can't just forgive you because I don't know if your apology was honest or just sycophantic." Because the boy had tried to lie to Evan before. There would be a chance the boy would do that again until he was forgiven by Evan.
"I'm telling the truth, King... If you don't believe me, what must I do to make you believe?" With his body still unable to move, the boy continued to try to gain Evan's trust.
As per Evan's plan, the Abyss Dominator was in its lowest state and was close to death if he answered incorrectly. Of course, the boy would follow the path that Evan made to save his life.
"I will only give you one chance. If you fail, you should already know what will happen to you." Evan continued to stare at the boy with a look of intimidation so that his plan could work out perfectly.
"T-thank you. I'll take that chance." With a happy expression, Abyss Dominator accepted Evan's offer.
Seeing the expression of the reddish-pink-haired boy reminded him of the time he was about to be killed by King Vesh. If King Vesh had forgiven him at that time, would his expression be the same as the Abyss Dominator before him?
Probably won't. Because Evan already knew about the true nature of King Vesh, who only thought about strength and didn't care about other people's lives. It was sad because Evan's loyalty was only used by King Vesh to gain power.
Evan, who already felt betrayed, didn't want that to happen to the people closest to him. And, of course, in Evan's mind, he didn't even want to do sneaky things like King Vesh to gain power.
"If you still acknowledge me as your king, take your oath of allegiance to me!" If the boy did think of Evan as a king like Liselis, then that boy's name would appear on the Tyrannical Home list.
While waiting for the boy to swear his oath of allegiance to Evan, he opened the Tyrannical Home window. He felt sad when he saw that Liseli's name on his list had dimmed.
Without needing to find out, he already knew that the color of Liseli's name had changed because she had died.
"For the sake of the True Dragon King, I swear to renounce all my allegiance to foreign powers, acknowledge, submit and be loyal to the True Dragon King." The boy took his oath of allegiance carefully and loudly to lessen Evan's doubts.
Evan waited to see if the boy's name would appear on his list. And just seconds after the Abyss Dominator finished swearing allegiance to him, Lucian's name appeared on his list as the Prince of Darkness.
Evan was happy because Lucian, who was the Abyss Dominator, really put his trust in him.
He wasn't too surprised when he saw Lucian had the title of Prince of Darkness. Because when his mind was filled with anger, he had time to use his Appraiser Skill to check the status of the Abyss Dominator.
'Lucia and Lucian must have a relationship, regardless of their statuses, they are very similar and only differentiated by race.' Evan didn't want to guess who Lucian really was because he had made the Abyss Dominator submit to him.
With the Tyrannical Home feature, Evan didn't have to be afraid that Lucian would attack him. Now he has conquered the Abyss Dominator and made him an ally.

Evan looked once more at Lucian, who was limply lying while rechecking his status. But it wasn't long before he saw his status, the effect of the Paralyzing Evil Eyes had worn off, and Lucian slowly started to stand up.
"My King, thank you for forgiving me." Lucian bowed in gratitude.
Evan just nodded and looked at Lucian, who was trying to use magic.
"My mana was completely drained. What a wonderful magic, My King. It's a good thing you trusted my oath of allegiance, otherwise I would have turned dry." Lucian praised His King for magic that could absorb mana quickly.
"Uh-huh..." Evan tried his usual expression to hide his surprise.
'Shit! So that's the ability of the Demon King's Curse Sword.' Evan's thoughts immediately went to Piwood and Lucia.
