The man in a suit that Hecate was seeing, he appeared really dignified. His calm demeanor seemed to be the complete opposite of his fiery red hair.
"I wonder what business a Queen Witch has with me so suddenly." The man said calmly after settling down.
Hecate looked at him and said, "Greetings, Duke Crimson."
The Duke chortled softly. "Such manners, truly a terrifying trait you guys possess."
One thing the world knew with guarantee about the Witches, it was to never trust them.
Just like how Hecate was so polite right now, the same was the case with the other Witches. They were super polite but no one knew what poison was lying within the sugary fruit they handed out.
Hecate ignored the Duke's comment. It was normal for people to doubt them.
"Duke Crimson, have you been well?" Hecate asked calmly and took a sip of her wine.
Duke Axis Crimson was taken aback by this question. It sounded like a foreboding to something bad.
"Why you ask?" He maintained his composure nonetheless and said.
Hecate took out a rare ancient divination scroll from her space ring and spreading it on the table, said, "did you know…"
Hecate rolled two dice on the scroll and as they stopped, the number one and three could be seen on them.
Four runes then appeared on the scroll and the dice vanished from their spot.
Tracing her finger along the runes, Hecate continued, "Fate is calculable once again. Destiny isn't undetermined anymore."
The bad foreboding Duke Axis was feeling, it intensified further with her comment.
Something felt really wrong…
Hecate, finishing tracing her finger along one of the runes, made a few small pebbles of black and white color appear.
Placing one black pebble between many white pebbles, Hecate said, "the ancient seers are starting to come out of hiding. People won't be safe anymore, and naturally, the same will be the case with you and me, Duke Crimson."
Duke Crimson's brows furrowed. "If you're trying to joke with me, then let me tell you, it's a really bad one."
Fate and Destiny had been unmeasurable for many years. How come it's back again? This surely seemed like a hoax to Duke Crimson.
Hecate's lips curved into a small smile. "You've been a great customer, Duke Crimson. Due to your relationship with us, consider this information as a gift. If you've got any further queries, you can contact us again."
Duke Crimson snorted and left, not wanting to be with this damned Witch for any longer. His mood was anything but good after this interaction.
A Witch who was handing out information for free? What a bloody joke! There was seriously something at play going on and Axis didn't want to involve himself in it by any means.
Watching his departing figure, Hecate's smile stayed on and she thought to herself, 'it was easier than I thought.'
She then turned to her subordinate and said, "fetch Duke Veranz."
The Witch nodded and left to do her job.
'A few more talks with the nobles, and I should be done doing what the Prince had asked me to do,' thought Hecate and sipped on her wine.
Meanwhile, outside the ballroom, right in the ladies restroom…
A prim and proper tall blonde-haired lady with red eyes was staring at the mirror and looking at her face.
She had just walked in to see if her lipstick had smudged due to the drink she had and it had not even been a few seconds when…
Swisssshhh
A whistling breeze flowed past her body and dragged her along with it, right into a bathroom stall.
The lady was shocked and about to attack the person trying to kidnap her, but she failed to do so as her entire body was immobile.
She then felt someone wrap her arms around her abdomen from behind and he heard a devious chuckle.
"Duchess Adelstein… my humble greetings."
The Duchess heard a man's voice and her body trembled hard. She tried to look down at the hand, but was unable to move her head or even speak.
"I heard you hate men, keke. How does it feel to be molested by one such man right now, then?"
The Duchess then felt her breasts being squeezed hard by the same person and a hand moving down under her dress, going into a place where no man has ever been to.
The Duchess screamed internally as such a thing happened and swore upon the elements to cut the person molesting her into a million pieces and feeding it to the dirty ghouls.
Too bad for the Duchess though, the hand molesting her wasn't of a rogue, but a beautiful slender and pale one.
If Rivera were to know of this, she would've actually enjoyed it instead.
Right behind Duchess Rivera Adelstein was Luna, acting as a man by the help of spells.
She had no idea why His Highness had given her such a strange request, but well, she abided by the commands like a good maid and didn't question him.
The command was to make the Duchess scared and let her know that the people under her were rebelling.
A commoner wasn't afraid of a noble vampire anymore, it mattered not if it was a Countess or a Duchess like her.
The Prince didn't know about the weakness of Duchess Rivera Adelstein, but Luna was well aware of it.
She hated men as it was due to the previous Vampire King that her clan got wiped out. The King had also taken her and all the women from her clan as slaves and gifted them to his men.
Had it not been for the timely attack by the current Queen, Rivera didn't know what would be the outcome of her and her clan members.
It was also the Queen who eventually wiped out all the people responsible for her clan's downfall and the dead men.
After the Queen took to the throne, Rivera's mother became a Countess and just a few thousand years ago, she got tired and Rivera succeeded her.
The Adelstein Clan was the only Vampire house in the whole world that was filled with just women. There were no men and they didn't plan to have any either.
If someone from their Clan liked men, they were kicked out and made to live on their own.
Anyway, unlike most Vampires, Rivera's sexual drive wasn't that high. She preferred the smell of blood on a battlefield rather than sex. Only occasionally would she indulge in such things and that too with only the finest of women in the world.
The Head Maid of the Royal Family was an unparalleled beauty. If Rivera were to know that she was being assaulted by her, she would've thanked her stars and passed out from excessive nose bleeding.
Luna was well aware of all of this and although it was wrong to harm their own subjects, she believed that her Prince might have his reasons for making her do such things.
She was a loyal maid who wholeheartedly believed in her master. The master was always right in her opinion.
Moving her hands in all places over the Duchess's body, Luna then pinched both her nipples.
The Duchess's body naturally responded to it by her face getting flushed slightly.
Luna thought it might be because she was liking the things being done to her. She also thought that the Duchess was a kinky woman for being into non-consensual sex like this.
Little did Luna know, Rivera was so angry that the blood rushed to her head, causing her to flush red.
"Duchess, Rivera Adelstein… you should be more vigilant and…"
Luna began reciting the evil speech she had prepared beforehand to make the Duchess know that her life was in danger and that she should prepare better.
Luna didn't forget to molest her some more to inflict the most damage and once she was done with it, Luna pushed the Duchess out of the stall and disappeared from her spot.
Being freed, the Duchess was about to shout and destroy the place she was in, but knowing she was in the Royal Castle, she first cast a barrier around her and then screamed on top of her lungs, raining curses that would make even an average trash talking gamer teen blush.
When Rivera was done screaming, she breathed heavily and said, "I'll… I'll definitely kill each and every man on this planet."
After mentioning this, she decided to check herself to see what the man had done to her, only to notice that there was a small wet spot on her red panties.
Rivera's eyes widened in shock and she exclaimed, "no way…"
…..
Back on Lith's side, the ladies were chatting happily in the guest room.
The Heavenly Emperor whose looks could challenge Lith's had left the room with Lucifer's three daughters and Ren after some small talk with Lith, Lilith, and Lucifer.
Lith liked this man. His aura was too cozy to be around and he was so calm that even Lucifer or her daughter's shenanigans didn't bother him.
Looking at this man, Lith could understand why the Angels were such happy and wholesome beings.
"Hey, is this it? The cake cutting and little dance, is this the end of your banquet?" Lucifer asked Lith and Lilith.
Lilith nodded her head. "That's about it from our side."
Royals shouldn't be out in the public for too long. Everyone knew this fact. Thus, it was no surprise that the banquet from Lith's side had ended already.
Lucifer clapped her hand at this. "Good. Then let's fuck."
"Lucifer!?"
