Modern World Warlock-Chapter 110: The Queen’s Task

After Camille asked Lilith if she could protect their bait home, the queen stayed silent for a minute, placing a hand on her chin as she delved into her thoughts.

"I suppose so… That sounds horribly boring," Lilith muttered.

"You'll have a lot of opportunities to go out and explore. I just want the people living there to be safe…" said the handler.

Pondering between her two options of going back to hell or taking care of a house, Lilith said that she would do it. However, she threatened to leave and explore the world on her own if she got too bored.

"Dante, are you okay with this?" Camille asked.

"Yeah, it's whatever… Are you ready to save the detective?" Dante asked back, sensing that Camille's umbra had gotten a bit more confident than before.

Camille nodded. "The tables are turning… Let's use that to our advantage," she said.

Suddenly, Lilith perked up and extended her wings, sharpening her gaze with full alert.

"I sense two demons here…" the queen said.

"Oh, yeah… Those are the harpion twins—don't mind them," Dante casually replied, making the succubus queen calm down.

Asher and Amara had been going to Camille's skyscraper every day, where they received lessons from one of the servants since the handler thought that giving children an education was important.

Even though the twins were ten years old, they acted a lot more immature for kids their age as they knew almost nothing about humans, which is why Camille decided to educate them.

"Huh, what a strange woman you are…" Lilith said aloud, but Camille took those words as a compliment and smiled.

"I guess there's a first time for everything… I never thought I would meet anyone willing to take harpions under their wing—those are savage beasts from hell, you know?" the queen commented.

"It's fine. They are just two little cute kids," Camille said, making Lilith chuckle.

As the group left the laboratory, Camille told Dante to take Lilith home and get some rest.

"I'll meet you there later tonight…" she said, preparing themselves to save Alice from Nihilor's clutches.

When the warlock arrived at their home with Lilith early in the afternoon, they found Sophia and Victoria in the kitchen preparing lunch.

"Hi, Dante, welcome back!" The blonde happily greeted the warlock, noticing the woman entering behind him.

"Oh, hi there!" Sophia exclaimed from the kitchen at the new visitor.

Lilith scanned her surroundings and scrutinized every little detail inside their home with a serious expression, gazing at the women and squinting a bit.

"This is Lilith. She is going to be protecting this house for some time…" Dante said, introducing the queen.

To both Sophia and Victoria, the succubus queen looked like an ordinary woman. Of course, they noticed how enchantingly beautiful she was, making Victoria think that Lilith was a famous idol.

"She is a demon… Just thought I should get that out there," Dante commented, sensing the uncertainty in Sophia and Victoria's umbra.

'She is a demon!? But… Krom is a demon, too!' Victoria thought, wondering how Lilith could be so beautiful while the imp looked scary.

*Sniff* Lilith took a deep whiff of Sophia's cooking, making her mouth salivate as she approached the blonde woman.

"I've never smelled such an appetizing aroma… What is this?" the queen asked, checking the contents of a large pot where chicken curry was slowly cooking.

"Are you guys hungry? Five more minutes and the food is ready," Sophia said with a smile.

The queen's curiosity had been piqued by the blonde's cuisine, so she took a seat behind the kitchen counter to wait for her dish.

"I feel like we haven't hung out in a few days…" Sophia commented while serving the plates.

"It's been a little busy. It won't be much longer, though…" replied Dante.

"We should plan something fun for when this is all over," Sophia continued, placing the plates before Lilith and Dante.

"What do you have in mind?" the warlock asked as Lilith began stuffing her face.

"Hmm, well… We have a small break soon, so we could do a little trip to the beach!" Sophia suggested.

"Ohhh, I like that!" Victoria excitedly interjected.

*Bang* Lilith slammed her fists on the kitchen counter, catching everyone's attention.

"This… This is so good!" the queen exclaimed, her eyes shimmering with happiness.

"Dante, you've been eating this delicacy, and you didn't even invite me!?" she continued.

"Honestly, I didn't even know you liked food that much…" Dante unamusedly replied, taking a bite of his plate.

After the pair had their fill, Dante said that he would take a nap since he hadn't slept for over 30 hours, walking up to the couch in the living room and lying down.

Meanwhile, Sophia and Victoria needed to study for their upcoming exams, so they courteously asked Lilith if she wanted something else before their session.

"Hmm, can't say I do… Allow me to observe for some time," the queen said.

Sophia and Victoria looked at each other and shrugged, seeing no problems with having the woman accompanying them as long as she didn't distract them.

When the trio went up to the study room in the house and sat around the table, Victoria gazed at the purple-haired demon with interest.

"Miss Lilith… Are you really a demon?" Victoria asked.

The brunette's experience with demons had been relatively tame compared to what the others had seen.

It took her a few days to get used to Krom's presence without feeling scared about his looks, but that didn't happen with Cerberus and the twins.

In fact, since Victoria had never seen the harpion twins doing anything demonic-like, she was having trouble believing that they were "savage beasts from hell," as Dante put it.

"Heh… That's another first," Lilith muttered, standing up from her seat and gently raising her arms to the sides.

"Behold, woman!" the queen exclaimed as shadows encased her body, making her wings come out her back and take a large part of the room.

When the pair detailed Lilith, they gazed at her gray skin, horns, tail, and wings. Two vertical black marks under her eyes, which glowed with a warm purple hue.

"Do you still doubt me?" Lilith asked with a proud tone.

"So pretty…" Victoria muttered, catching Lilith's attention.

"Do you find this pretty?" the queen asked, folding her wings and slightly flushing.

"Ah, I don't mean that as an insult or anything!" Victoria continued, nervously waving her arms.

Lilith chuckled and turned her body back into her human form, sitting before the two women and posing her chin on her palm.

"Sophia and Victoria, right? I'll remember that…" the queen said with a smile.
