Chapter 88: Preparations Before the Battle
"Your prowess is only at the fifth tier?" Rose asked the Fallen Angel Prince with a hint of surprise.
Rose had always assumed that even if the prince of the Fallen Angel clan hadn't garnered the favor of the Fallen Angel King, Lucifer, his own strength must be exceptionally top-tier.
She could hardly believe that a prince favored by King Lucifer had only just reached the fifth tier.
Didn't this imply that the strength of the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels was merely a notch above that of Charles?
The expression on the Fourth Prince's face remained unchanged, as he had long grown accustomed to this matter.
"Outsiders always assume that as my father's most favored prince, I must possess the greatest power. But in reality, my father does not bestow power upon someone simply because he favors them.
My father is a very calm and rational individual. He only grants his power to those who possess the most refined combat skills and the highest combat talent.
The Fourth Prince's explanation did indeed make sense.
Rose nodded before changing the topic.
After all, she couldn't keep discussing the other's strength. There were indeed many topics that the succubus clan and the Fallen Angel clan could delve into.
After all, both were members of the Abyss's seventy-two races.
After conversing with the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels for a while, Rose pretended she needed to touch up her makeup and temporarily excused herself from the banquet hall.
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels watched as Succubus Princess Rose leisurely departed from the hall.
Once Succubus Princess Rose was out of sight, a Fallen Angel guard approached the Fourth Prince and whispered to him.
"Your Highness, it seems you don't particularly favor this Succubus Princess. If you fail to complete the task assigned by the Fallen Angel King, you may face his wrath."
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels nodded.
He was well aware that his father, Lucifer, would undoubtedly punish anyone who failed to complete their mission.
"When the Succubus Princess returns, I will make further attempts to advance our plan. You need not be overly concerned, after all, this banquet has only just begun."
For both the succubus and Fallen Angels, each banquet was expected to last a considerable amount of time.
Succubus Castle had even once hosted a banquet that lasted for a full three months. Therefore, the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels had no reason to be overly anxious.
On the other side, in Rose's room, Charles was pacing back and forth, pondering how he should further investigate the true strength of the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels.
Just then, the sound of a door opening came from outside Rose's room.
Charles grew slightly worried and hid behind a table.
Succubus Princess Rose returned to the room with the intention of quickly sharing the intelligence she had gathered about the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels with Charles.
However, she suddenly noticed that Charles was not in the room.
"Where did Charles go? Why isn't he here?" Rose scanned the room and finally spotted the half-hidden Charles.
Upon realizing it was Rose who had entered, Charles breathed a sigh of relief. He emerged from his hiding spot.
"I thought it was someone else opening the door!" Charles explained briefly.
Succubus Princess Rose didn't mind, she quickly shut the door, went to her vanity to touch up her makeup, and simultaneously shared the intelligence about the Fourth Prince with Charles.
"I've gathered the information. His strength is only at the fifth tier. Your current strength is mid-fourth tier, and with my support, you have a very good chance of directly defeating the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels."
Learning that the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels was only at the fifth tier, Charles also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"If his strength is only at the fifth tier, I can indeed defeat him. But before we take action, we need to devise a perfect plan."
Succubus Princess Rose nodded.
"Defeating the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels shouldn't be too difficult for us. But after we defeat him, I must ensure you leave Succubus Castle safely.
My mother would never let you leave easily. If she finds out you attacked the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels, she would want nothing more than to tear you to pieces."
Succubus Princess Rose's words made Charles even more worried.
"Your mother must be incredibly powerful. If she tries to stop us, should I fight her too?"
Charles's question made Succubus Princess Rose hesitate slightly.
After thinking for a moment, Succubus Princess Rose shook her head. "That won't happen. I'll do my best to ensure my mother doesn't appear in the banquet hall. You only need to focus on targeting the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels."
"After teaching him a lesson, I'll ensure you quickly retreat from Succubus Castle. By the time my mother arrives at the banquet hall, you'll already be back in a safe place."
Succubus Princess Rose's plan seemed more reasonable.
So, Charles finally set aside his inner worries and began making the final preparations for the battle.
After finishing her makeup, Succubus Princess Rose left a ring on her vanity.
"You know how to get to the banquet hall of Succubus Castle, right? When the time is right, the ring on the vanity will flash. That's my signal to you.
When you see the ring flash, head to the banquet hall of Succubus Castle immediately. I will create an opportunity for you to face the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels one-on-one."
After saying this, Succubus Princess Rose quickly walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, Charles began to seriously prepare for the upcoming battle.
First, Charles ensured he was still in peak condition. Then, he confirmed that all his skills could be used within Succubus Castle.
After making all the necessary preparations, Charles kept a close eye on the ring on the vanity.
In the banquet hall of Succubus Castle, the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels maintained his composure even in the absence of Succubus Princess Rose.
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels was chatting with other succubus nobles about some interesting recent events in the Fallen Angel realm.
At that moment, Succubus Princess Rose reappeared in the banquet hall. After touching up her makeup, her beauty and allure were significantly enhanced.
The succubus and Fallen Angels in the banquet hall couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
Even the succubus who had always served in Succubus Castle couldn't believe their princess possessed such perfect beauty.
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels was also stunned, his eyes fixed on Succubus Princess Rose's face, unwilling to look away for even a moment.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I hope I haven't missed anything particularly interesting?"
Succubus Princess Rose asked softly with a smile at the corner of her mouth.
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels quickly shook his head. "You haven't missed anything interesting. In fact, you are the centerpiece of this banquet. Nothing interesting happens without you."
Rose nodded at the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels' response and returned to her original seat.
Rose chatted with the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels for a while longer, then her expression suddenly showed a hint of fatigue.
"Your Highness, I find the banquet hall far too noisy. Why don't we clear out all the unnecessary people?"
Faced with Succubus Princess Rose's suggestion, the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels agreed without hesitation.
"You're right, the banquet hall is indeed too noisy. We should get rid of all those lowly people." The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels' attitude towards Rose was now completely different.
Rose could tell that he was genuinely very fond of her now.
After clearing out all the unnecessary people from the banquet hall, Rose and the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels could finally be alone.
"Your Highness, what do you think of this banquet?"
Succubus Princess Rose walked slowly to the center of the banquet hall, smiling as she asked the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels.
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels also had a smile on his face, he was very satisfied with the banquet the succubi had arranged. NovelFire,mp|y|r hosted
"I am very pleased with the banquet you've arranged. Of course, what pleases me even more is meeting you."
Rose smiled and nodded, then touched the ring on her hand.
At the same moment Rose touched the ring on her hand, the ring on the dressing table in Rose's room emitted a bright flash.
Upon seeing this bright flash, Charles immediately took action.
Charles moved as quickly as possible toward the banquet hall of Succubus Castle.
Meanwhile, Rose and the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels had already moved near the entrance of the banquet hall.
"Your Highness, how about we go and take a look at the scenery outside the banquet hall?" Rose suggested directly.
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels naturally did not refuse. After all, he was eager to win Rose's favor.
"Of course, there's no problem at all. I also want to see the scenery in other parts of Succubus Castle. Although I've visited Succubus Castle a few times, I've only seen a few places."
After saying this, the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels walked directly to the entrance of the banquet hall, ready to open the doors.
