454 The Succubus Action (2/2)

That was infuriating. If Evelynn wasn't careful, a sinful cat would sneak to Lord Sherlock's side.

That was what Evelynn thought.

She had to find out more. Nobody could obstruct her progress with Lord Sherlock, not a black kitten and not a decadent troublemaking Angel.

Evelynn had to act now.

…

Polio was in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. He was thinking over the information provided by the gamers. Some of the information was weird. For example, he had to take off his pants while dancing in the Ball.

He felt it was strange, but he didn't have any reason to rebuke. He thought that dancing was for a couple to emit hormones, shake their heads, and do silly things.

If there was time for dancing, why was money not given? How could there be love without money?

Polio was still undecided whether he was going to take off his pants while dancing with Lord Sherlock. His life was at stake. If he made any mistakes, he could be killed by Lord Sherlock.

He heard a knock at the door. Was it the Lich?

Polio didn't know. He was lying in his dwelling and had no intention of getting up.

”Aren't you on duty today? Like opening the door and brewing tea?” the parrot said to Polio.

”Aren't these chores taken care of by the small Black Dragon?” Polio was lying lazily in his dwelling as he said, ”He's a secretary, while I'm Lord Sherlock's pet. Have you seen a pet open the door, meow?”

”You've accepted your fate as a pet? Oh my god, that's the reason why you're a disgrace to the 72 Devils.”

The parrot shook his head. Eggface had his headphones on while playing a computer game, so he didn't hear the knock.

Even if Eggface was aware, he wouldn't open the door since it was Polio's duty today.

Finally, the parrot flew to the door and used his claws to open it.

It wasn't the Lich at the door, it was the rare appearance of Evelynn.

”Er… Is Miss Polio in?” Evelynn asked timidly at the door.

”Pfff… Miss Polio… hahahaha!”

Evelynn didn't know why the parrot was laughing so hard.

A black kitten walked over to Evelynn and said, ”Miss Polio, what a graceful name. Take a look at me. How am I a Miss, meow?”

”Aren't you Miss Polio? I heard that Lord Sherlock is taking you to participate in the Ball.” Evelynn asked curiously.

”I don't wish to talk about it, meow,” Polio said firmly.

”If there's nothing else, please go back and continue with your work. This is the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. If there are no special reasons, please don't come here, meow.”

Polio was sick of hearing about the Ball.

”Apologies, you've misunderstood me. I'm here to help,” Evelynn smiled and said.

…

”Are you saying that you can help me, meow? Anything related to the Ball?” Polio sat at the door of Evelynn's house and asked Evelynn.

”Yes, I'd like to help you,” Evelynn replied.

Polio asked curiously, ”Why? We haven't spoken before, meow.”

”I'm not really helping you. I'm only thinking of helping Lord Sherlock,” Evelynn replied honestly.

She then took out some cat food and poured the contents into a box as she said, ”Apologies, I don't have any good food for you.”

”Cat food! What do you take me for? You're giving me cat food, meow?”

Polio was agitated, but his expression betrayed him.

He sniffed hard and walked towards the cat food.

He wanted to resist, but as a kitten, he was instinctively drawn to the cat food.

The kitten's instinct was engraved into his soul.

Polio approached the cat food.

”How are you going to be a dance partner? As a kitten, you're unable to be a dance partner.”

Evelynn asked while she watched Polio enjoy the cat food.

”I have my ways. Do you think I'm only a black kitten? I'm not a simple black kitten. I can transform into anything I want. And that includes you. I have specially created a dance partner in the image of the Ancient Gods!”

Polio chewed the cat food as he took out a picture.

The picture depicted a vicious monster with frightening fangs and claws. Even the Underworld creatures would be fearful of this monster.

”What's this?” Evelynn asked as she examined the picture.

”This is the appearance of the dance partner for Lord Sherlock. Don't you think it's cool? It was designed by the citizens of Eternal Kingdom.”

Polio said, ”They said that if Lord Sherlock's partner looks like the picture, he'll be very happy, meow.”

”I don't think so,” Evelynn said in disbelief.

”Really? But I feel that Lord Sherlock will like it, meow.” Polio smiled and said, ”He's such an evil Devil, and his soul is rotten to the core, meow…”

”When is the Ball?”

”Why do you have so many questions? It's tonight. I'll leave with Lord Sherlock in the afternoon, meow.”

Polio was enjoying his cat food, so he didn't notice that Evelynn was behind him holding a wooden club and getting close to him.

With a swing of the club, Polio fell to the ground.

Evelynn trembled as she held the wooden club.

”Apologies, but this is the only way I can help. You'll be fine.”

Evelynn dragged Polio into a cabinet in her room.

After putting sufficient water and cat food inside, she locked the cabinet. Then she apologized silently in front of the cabinet.

After that, she left the room.

Soon after Evelynn left, Polio opened his eyes and muttered to himself, ”Don't blame me, the Succubus has to shoulder all of the responsibility.”
