Chapter 183 (1/2)

Kwang!

Kiirrrrk!

“Kik, do not step back! Push them!”

While Luke was busy fighting with Shaikan, the Akbar Fortress was also engaged in a fierce siege against the monster army.

Even though they have been fighting since dawn, it hadn’t stopped, and it seemed like even with the enormous number of monsters, the assault could end.

The duchy, which had accumulated fatigue from the continuous siege, were barely managing to block them.

If the imperial forces didn’t arrive two days ago, the place would have been captured.

“Just a little more!”

“If we can stop this, then we will have the chance to counterattack!”

Officers were all yelling at the soldiers trying to encourage them, and their words weren’t entirely false.

Indeed, the dozens of Gigants and 2,000 cavalries were gathered behind the gates. The moment the monsters stepped back, the battle could end.

The monster army had been reduced by a lot.

For that reason, even while they were on the verge of getting slaughtered, there was still hope in their eyes.

On the watchtower inside the border, several figures stood there, overlooking the area.

They were the head of the imperial army, Sebastian, who was disguised as Luke, looking down and giving instructions.

“What are you doing? Push in the east! Block them!”

When the person waved the flag, Sebastian pointed to another place and shouted, “In the west, the gates are about to be opened! Send a Gigant!”

Sebastian calmly followed the strategy that Luke gave to him.

He had learned everything he could by observing Luke, so along with a similar appearance to Luke, there was no awkwardness to his actions.

However, there was a woman watching him from behind.

Princess Margareta, who had been dispatched as a liaison officer, had a face as red as an apple.

‘Ahhk… What am I doing? I can’t keep standing here I am getting hot.’

Since a few days ago, every time she saw Luke, or Sebastian in Luke’s form, her heart pounded and fluttered. She got so excited that her whole body twisted, like a fish stuck on a hook.

‘Have you gone crazy, Margareta? I need to get that man hooked to me. What good is it if I turn out like this?’

But no matter how determined she tried to get, every time she saw Luke, her entire body changed, and she couldn’t get a hold of her excitement.

At first, she thought that Marquis Luke might have been sneaking into her quarters to give her some drugs.

But no matter how many times she tried to check her body, she couldn’t feel the energy of any such drugs.

There was no trace of mental magic at all.

‘Why is my body acting like this?’

The moment she was about to cry because of this unknown feeling running in her body, Sebastian looked back and smiled.

‘Kyaang! He is so amazing!’

Sebastian knew very well about what was happening to her body. Well, it was because he was the cause of that very phenomenon. That was why he knew it.

Staying hidden in her quarters every night, Sebastian absorbed the unclean desires and negative emotions that Margareta harbored.

When emotions in her soul transferred into Sebastian’s soul, there was a slight shift from Sebastian’s soul into her.

It was the Pheromone of the demons.

Among the races like Sebastian’s, his ancestors were mongers. The Pheromones that were spewed by such races would end up seducing the opposite person.

Because of that, Margareta went on showing her desire for him again and again.

“Princess, are you feeling unwell? If you’re sick, please go back to your room and rest.”

Philip, who was watching the battle from Luke’s side, asked with a doubt.
