"We should move the conversation to a more private setting. All of you can return to your duties." Lycaon commanded.

The soldiers and servant in the castle all bowed in reverence as they returned to their official duties. Lycaon himself told his close servants to return to their duties despite some of them saying that they need to guard him. The Duke of Arkadia only gave them a fierce stare and they backed down.

"Come this way please." The Duke of Arkadia Lycaon stated as he guided the three of them to his own office inside the castle.

The inside of the Duke of Arkadia's office is rather normal like what you would expect in a nobleman's office. The only thing that feels different is that a barrier is covering the whole room which makes it soundproof from the outside.

"Now that no other people could hear us, why did you bring a demon in the premises? Even if you are my son, you have to explain yourself." The Duke of Arkdia Lycaon asked Lycan.

Adrian is not shocked by the Duke of Arkadia's revelation because people with higher persona than him could easily see beyond illusions. A mythical tier NPC would be not fall for low level illusion magic.

"I could smell the musk of a demon from that young child. You do know that the empire's backbone does not like the demons meddling with the affairs of the empire." The Duke of Arkadia warned his son.

Adrian is once again learning stuff that is not spoken in the history of the empire. This backbone of the empire has passed by his ear a bunch of times when he asked the elders of the Daemos on what he can and cannot do.

"If even a mythical tier NPC is wary of the backbone of the empire then it is probably a demigod. But if it is a demigod, why is it having a hands-off approach in running the empire? Unless that demigod only cares about the royal family." Adrian thought as Lycan is being scolded.

"So, you are telling me that we need to ally ourselves with the demons in order to put down the rising displeasure of my rule? We are werewolves! Why should we fear those who plan in the shadows!?" The Duke of Arkadia Lycaon stated while he released his feral aura that he compressed.

The whole room suddenly felt like gravity intensified. Adrian and Mina started to feel faint as they had difficulty breathing. Lycan who is the focus of this feral aura is already kneeling with his right leg. The Duke of Arkadia Lycaon suddenly released the intense pressure and the people in the room gasped for air.

"It seems that the young demon is much better than you my son. You need to toughen up if you even want to inherit everything I have. You are far too weak right now to safely inherit my dukedom." The Duke of Arkadia Lycaon stated which made Adrian realize why there is unrest in the duke's leadership.

"So, the real reason those under you are planning a revolt is due to the fact that you named hi your successor which is not how the werewolves do it right?" Adrian interjected.

"I will not die anytime anyways so my son could take his time in gaining strength to topple anyone that tries to challenge his succession." The Duke of Arkadia Lycaon proudly stated as he is very confident in his own strength.

"But then again, I can hear some suspicion in your voice. Why?" Solstice rebutted.

"I do not want to be berated by a vampire, but my son likes you and I can say that he has taste. It is not in our nature to plan in the shadows and grow the strength of an army rather than oneself. You vampires that hate the sun, so your people avoid fights during daylight." The Duke of Arkadia Lycaon stated.

"They told me that a war between the werewolves and vampires might occur if I do not help them. How much is the possibility of that really happening?" Adrian asked as he wanted to know from the perspective of the leader of the werewolves.

"Highly Likely. It seems that another Alpha has emerged who has a sugar-coated tongue that bores resentment towards the vampires. They do not move in this dutchy but there are report that werewolves from villages that is not under my influence has joined him." The Duke of Arkadia Lycaon stated in a grave tone.

"Why do you werewolves and vampires hate each other anyway? You guys basically came from one Asmodian lineage anyway." Adrian casually stated which made the Duke of Arkadia suddenly grab him.

"What did you say!? Our origins are traced from the Night Wolf which is the son of the Goddess of the Night. I do not mean to sound impertinent but there is no way that we share the origins of those blood-suckers." The Duke of Arkadia Lycaon stated which made Mina exclaim in anger.

"At least we do not transform to unstoppable beasts of carnage during the full moon. Our origins could be traced to the Night Bat and a dog is vastly different from a bat." Solstice rebutted.

"You say that the origins of the werewolves are from the Night Wolf. Do you have a written record of that?" Adrian asked with confidence since he himself have known that fact since his time inside the Hall of Armageddon.

"We only have stories from the elders of our packs. They have told the stories since time immemorial. If you are lying, then you are saying something blasphemous." The Duke of Arkadia Lycaon stated in a reprimanding tone.

"I am telling the truth. I am quite sure that the Daemos have more solid evidence to back what I am saying. It is far better than the oral traditions passed down from generations as some stories evolve to the passage of time.

If I am not mistaken, this Night Wolf and Night Bat should be the twins born from the Asmodian called Erebus. The twins were not really reported to have a great relationship which has been passed down to those who share their blood. The resentment between your species might have ultimately erased the truth of how you guys came to be." Adrian stated in a concise fashion that even the Due of Arkadia Lycaon is speechless.
