How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!

Dray was the only person in the selection that the hero would even look at and the head priest is trying to make sure the hero liked Dray!

Quinn looked Dray over and Dray knew that there was no way she would not agree to accept him. Who else was she going to pick? The old men? With the amount of work I've put into this mission, nothing is standing in my way.

Dray was the one responsible for the disappearance of the ten young priests that were meant to be involved in this selection. Elias ordered Dray to make sure that he was chosen and what better way to make sure you are chosen than getting rid of all the competition!? Dray killed all the ten young priests and hid their bodies in the furnace that was used to heat the church for the winter. Before they even find the burnt bodies he would be gone!

Quinn liked what she saw and she couldn't deny that Dray was a very handsome man. She knew that she didn't have any other choice, but she was hesitating a little because there was something about Dray's expression that didn't sit right with her! She could tell that Dray was feeling smug about this situation! Was he feeling smug that there is no other person for me to choose?

Quinn was a businesswoman and reading people was a skill that she has trained for years! Her intuition and people skills were very impressive and she wouldn't be fooled by any false expressions. She could easily tell that Dray was hiding something! But it didn't matter to her, because even if he was hiding something, Dray was the only choice she had! Quinn decided that she would find out about what he was hiding later. For now, she just needs to get this over with. Quinn extended her hand and the two of them shook.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Dray. Let's take care of each other from now on,"

Dray smiled and nodded. Quinn has no idea that she just started the timer for the countdown to her death.

....

In the restaurant where Flood was seated, a woman was sitting on the same balcony. She was a blond woman with her hair tied into a long ponytail. She wore a red gown that had a long slit down the side that exposed one of her legs seductively. She was sitting alone and she had two large butlers standing beside her table to attend to her every need. Her name was Katherine and she was the daughter and heir to one of the large ten families in Trad! Her family net worth was in the billions and she was the sort of woman who was used to getting her way no matter what.

As Floid entered the room, Katherine looked in his direction curiously. Katherine heard everyone whispering in the restaurant and she was curious about what sort of person they were talking about. There isn't anyone in Trad that I don't know, so who is this?

Once Kathrine saw Floid, she was immediately attracted to him. She dropped the glass of wine that she was about to drink and she leaned forward to get a better look at his face. He was perfect! A handsome man with an intense gaze that looked dangerous! Floid wasn't wearing anything extravagant but Katherine could tell that he was rich! Very rich! This was the sort of man that she loved to play around with! Katherine has been looking for a new boy toy to play around with for some time now and she hasn't been able to find anyone that could satisfy her expectations, but now that she has seen Floid, there is nothing that will stop her from owning him!

Katherine was used to getting whatever she wanted. She was the sort of woman that controlled men and made them bow to her. She would use them and dump them without even a backward glance because she believed they were beneath her! There wasn't a single person in Trad that she couldn't get with her advances and Floid would be no different!

Katherine made a signal to the butler standing by her side and one of them walked out to her immediately and bowed.

"Yes, ma'am?"

Katherine pointed to Floid fluidly.

"That man. Who is he and what family does he come from?"

The butler rose to look at Floid and he furrowed his brow in confusion. He understood that his mistress was probably interested in Floid because Floid was very handsome, but he didn't recognize Floid. The butler has memorized the information on every family in Trad already so there is no way he shouldn't know who Floid was, but no matter how much he tried he just couldn't remember who Floid was.

"I do not know, mistress. Perhaps he is a traveler that came into Trad recently. He is not a member of any of the ten families."

Katherine was surprised that her butler said he did not know. She believed him because she knows her butlers have memorized everyone's information in Trad. They were A-class knights responsible for her protection and since she was meeting a lot of people all the time, they knew everyone around Trad. But if he didn't know who Food was, then that means Floid is new to the kingdom. Floid probably doesn't know anything about this place. Katherine couldn't stop the mischievous smile that spread on her face as she looked at Floid. She now saw him as an innocent man that didn't know how dangerous this country was.

I can play with him all I want and he will be completely clueless.

Katherine whispered something into her butler's ear and the man nodded and left the table to go somewhere.

Floid was sitting and reading his menu to order something when he noticed the butler that just left Katherine coming toward him. Floid tilted his head curiously and he wondered what this idiot was about to do. The butler strode towards Floid with a bottle of expensive wine in his hand but before he could reach Floid's table, Alucard appeared in front of him and obstructed him before he could get close to Floid. The butler looked at Alucard in annoyance but Alucard just kept his blank look in place.

"What do you want from my lord, you pig?"

The butler felt anger rising in him because of the insult, but he swallowed his anger and rose the glass as he spoke to Alucard.

"My mistress has sent a token of friendship. She would appreciate it if your master would join her at the table behind us,"

Alucard released a small sneer as he looked at the butler. What sort of fool would dare to summon the demon lord like he was a stripper that received gifts and tokens? Alucard looked behind the butler and he saw Katherine drinking her wine while looking at them with a confident smirk, and Alucard swore that he would remember her face. Alucard then spoke to the butler as his eyes turned blood-red.

"Please come with me,"

[Mesmerize] has been activated!

Alucard guided the butler down in another direction and the butler found that he couldn't even refuse! Alucard used Mesmerize on the butler and the butler didn't even have a chance to fight back before he was under Alucard's control! As Alucard led him away from the table, Floid rose his hand and called for one of the servers around. Floid didn't even bother to look towards the idiot that was about to get killed by Alucard since it was none of his concern.

Alucard came back after a few minutes and he simply went to stand behind Floid as if nothing happened. But Floid could smell the distinct scent of iron and blood on him. If not for his demon senses, Floid was sure that he wouldn't have smelt it at all. Alucard must have torn that butler to shreds!

Alucard killed the butler and he tore his limbs from his body before throwing his body into the dumpster at the back of the hotel. The hotel staff will find him eventually and they will deal with the body themselves. Alucard didn't kill the pig inside the hotel since that would ruin his lord's meal, but Alucard made sure that the pig suffered for his transgression. Any pig that doesn't know his place doesn't deserve to live.

Katherine was surprised when she saw Alucard leaving with her butler a few minutes ago and she was even more surprised when Alucard came back without her butler! Katherine wondered where the hell her butler could have gone. Did Alucard do something to him? No, there is no way he would do anything to my butler. My butler is an A-class knight!

But when Katherine didn't see her butler for another full minute she started to become annoyed and angry! What the hell did that butler do to what is mine!? Does he think I will just let it go!? Katherine stood up and her second butler immediately got into step with her as he saw her marching towards Floid's table! Some of the others sitting on the balcony all looked toward the spectacle that was about to happen. They all knew Katherine and they knew she was not a kind woman. She is probably going to tear into that newcomer that doesn't know his place! They all wanted to see this!

Floid hummed and took another bite from his stake. Rosavellt could make better food than this, but this wasn't bad either.
