The scene inside Derek's manor was anything but normal.
Derek and Jacob were now in the custody of Jeff, Jasper, and the Viper Guards. Marina was panicking, and the situation was the same for Maria, who had just been impregnated moments earlier.
At first, when Jeff had asked about Derek, Jacob, and Maria, Marina assumed he had come to protect them from some incoming threat. She never imagined that there was no external danger—because Jeff and his group *were* the danger.
Marina turned to Jeff and pleaded:
"Jeff, why are you doing this? There's no animosity between you and Derek. Leave him and Jacob alone."
Jeff stared at her and replied calmly:
"Yes, you're right. There is no personal animosity between me and Derek. And honestly, I don't want to arrest him myself. But you know… even if I didn't come here personally, someone far more devoted to Lucifer might have come to collect them instead."
Marina asked sharply:
"Who could possibly be more fanatically devoted to that bastard—except maybe that Mia and your wife Ruby? That kid is basically an unnecessary burden on the entire world."
The moment those words left her mouth, a thunderous slap cracked across her face.
But astonishingly—even after such a powerful strike—Marina didn't budge an inch. It was as though her feet had been cemented to the floor.
Everyone turned to look at the newcomer.
One figure was holding Marina's legs firmly—from within her own shadow. The other—the one who had delivered the slap—was none other than Mara, the shadow daughter of Lucifer and Nocturna.
Seeing Nocturna's daughter for the first time, Jasper was startled. Jeff, meanwhile, was shocked that someone had been shadowing their entire journey without him noticing.
He looked at Mara and asked:
"Mara, what are you doing here? And who is that… holding Marina's legs?"
Mara turned to Jeff and answered in a polite yet completely emotionless voice:
"Granduncle, I was simply following you all… for fun. I overheard you telling all those stories about my papa to minister jeff. It's regrettable that everything happened before I was born… but imagining myself standing beside Papa while he butchered his enemies was quite entertaining."
Then Mara glanced down at Marina's legs and said:
"Elder Sister Aelune… come out and greet Granduncle. It's not polite to stay hidden in shadows forever."
As soon as Mara spoke, Aelune emerged smoothly from Marina's shadow and gave Jeff a respectful nod.
Now—except for Jeff—everyone else was witnessing something straight out of a fantasy tale.
Jasper could still process it somewhat—he had already seen Gracy and Lovertia emerge from and vanish into shadows before. But for Derek, Jacob, Maria, Marina, and Bennison… this was beyond comprehension.
Jeff glanced at Mara and asked:
"Kiddo… why did you slap her?"
Without hesitation, Mara replied:
"Because she insulted Papa. If Papa hadn't strictly ordered me not to kill anyone who merely insults him… she would already be dead meat, left to rot in the Nightbloom Forest while wild beasts and monsters feasted on her flesh and bones."
Her words carried a chilling indifference—she clearly felt nothing but contempt for Marina.
The statement sent a shiver through everyone present—except the Viper Guards and Jeff, who knew exactly how fiercely all of Lucifer's shadow daughters loved him.
Jeff then looked at Aelune and asked:
"And you, kiddo… why did you grab her legs when Mara slapped her?"
Aelune answered in an equally pleasant yet emotionless tone:
"Because she is pregnant. If I hadn't restrained her legs, the force of Mara's slap would have sent her flying. That could have killed the fetus developing in her womb. And I don't want to be like that girl you mentioned earlier… what was her name… Ummm… yes… Sarah.
"If this woman's child died because of a mistake by me or Mara, Papa would be heartbroken. So I held her legs to protect her womb… while my sister slapped her to shut her mouth from spewing more nonsense."
After both girls calmly explained their actions, Jeff affectionately ruffled their hair.
To his surprise, Mara said:
"Only Papa, our mothers, and grandmothers are allowed to do that."
Feeling a little hurt, Jeff asked:
"Aren't granduncles allowed too?"
Aelune replied:
"Not until Papa permits it."
Jeff pressed, his voice growing more desperate:
"Don't you all love me the same way you love your dad, mothers, and grandmothers?"
Then came a voice that shattered Jeff's heart into pieces:
"No."
The voice belonged to yet another figure who had just arrived.
She was none other than Luvina.
Even Jeff didn't recognize her at first.
He glanced at her and asked:
"Who are you?"
She answered simply:
"I'm my papa's daughter."
Now the atmosphere inside Derek's house became unbearably awkward.
Derek, Jacob, Maria, and Marina looked even more terrified. Jeff's face was heartbroken. Jasper and Bennison both wore amused smiles.
Jasper looked at Luvina and asked:
"Miss… what is your name?"
Luvina touched the black dress she wore—embroidered with the words *Daddy's Love*—and replied:
"Minister Jasper… my name is Luvina. I am the daughter of my mother Lovertia… and my Father."
Now—except for the Viper Guards, Derek's family, and Bennison—both Jeff and Jasper were equally stunned.
After all this time living with Lucifer, Jeff hadn't even known Lovertia had a daughter.
As for Jasper… he was shocked for an entirely different reason—one he couldn't quite explain even to himself.
While Jeff and Jasper stared at Luvina, Mara, and Aelune, Luvina spoke to her two "auntmothers":
"Auntmothers… I came here on Papa's orders. Papa is making chocolate bars—just like the ones he gave to Auntmother Almirae. He told me to call both of you. Come quickly."
With that, Luvina vanished.
Hearing her words, Mara and Aelune disappeared at the same speed—melting back into shadows.
Once again, Bennison and Derek's family were left speechless at the sight.
Before Bennison could ask anything, Jeff said:
"Bennison, don't ask me anything about them. I'm just as clueless as you are. Yes—all of them are Lucifer's daughters."
Then Jeff turned to Marina:
"So… do you prefer to come with me willingly, or should I call them back?"
Despite the seriousness of the moment, Bennison—ever the joker—asked:
"Can you really summon them again?"
Jeff looked at him, eyes flashing with anger but mouth curved in a smile:
"Yes, of course. But it'll have to wait an hour—because right now, none of them will listen to me until they've gotten their precious chocolate from Lucifer."
Bennison asked:
"What's chocolate?"
Jeff's patience finally snapped:
"Bennison, my friend… I'm just as clueless as you are. But I'd appreciate it if you let me do my work without interrupting."
Realizing his questions were hindering Jeff, Bennison—like a scolded child—raised his index finger to his lips in a shushing gesture.
The scene was so absurdly comedic that Jasper couldn't hold back his laughter.
Reluctantly, Jeff gave an order to one of the guards behind him, gesturing toward Bennison:
"Keep him away from here… at least for a while."
The guard effortlessly hoisted Bennison over her shoulder like a sack of rice and carried him outside.
Jeff turned back to Derek and said:
"Will you come with me peacefully—with your dignity intact—or not? I'm giving you a little time to think."
Then, with surprising courage, Derek spoke:
"Jeff, why are you acting like Lucifer's pet dog? Didn't he steal Ruby and Jason from you? They abandoned you here with Christopher while they ran off with that Lucifer."
Jeff looked at Derek and replied calmly:
"No, Derek. I'm not acting like Lucifer's dog. And yes—Ruby and Jason did leave me behind back then… because Lucifer was in the right, and I was in the wrong. After they left, I finally realized that Christopher was like a dog's tail—no matter how much you try to straighten it, it always curls back to its original shape.
"After Lucifer departed, I stayed behind with Christopher hoping he would see his mistakes and apologize to Lucifer. But… he was beyond redemption.
"And you remember—didn't that bastard already murder the child growing inside Sarah's womb?"
Derek's eyes widened in shock.
"How… how did you know that Christopher aborted the fetus in Sarah's womb?
"We all swore never to speak of that taboo again."
Then Derek turned and shouted at Bennison who was held by guard like a sack outside the manor:-
"You… you bastard! You told him, didn't you? I know it was you who blabbed!"
Before derek's voice could reach Bennison, Jeff cut in:
"No, Derek. No one told me. The moment… the exact moment that fetus died… Lucifer sensed it.
"I even know it was a girl developing inside her. I hope you understand what that means.
"And you know, Derek… Lucifer named the capital of Westirifer 'Serendity'—because he had already named his unborn daughter Seren long before she was born.
"The day Lucifer sets foot in this village again… that will be the last day for both Christopher and Sarah.
"But before that… there are many things he still needs to do. And according to him, it will take some time. Because before Christopher and Sarah… the countdown for the Church of Toxara and the Purefield Duchy has already begun.
"Now, Derek… come with me like a good man. I'm still asking politely—out of the minimal friendship we once had. I don't want people to find out what happened here. And if they somehow uncover it… that's not my problem. The ones who will suffer public shame and degradation will be you and your family—not me or Jasper."
Just as Jeff turned to leave after saying what he needed to say, Maria—who had been listening to everything—spoke:
"Uncle Christopher was right, Jacob. You should have finished Lucifer's business when you smashed his head. Now look what your mistake is costing us."
Hearing Maria's words, Jeff turned back and said:
"You know, kid… you can't even imagine what kind of future awaited your father and brother. But I'm certain… your life—and your mother's—would have been just as miserable.
"Lucifer only asked me to bring your father and brother, and to leave you and your mother out of this feud. He considered both of you innocent. But regretfully… I no longer believe that."
"Now put on your clothes. Come with me peacefully—without causing any trouble. Pack your bags. I'll wait no more than one hour. And before you leave, make a public announcement that you are stepping down as village chief, going to Westirifer with me, and appointing someone else in your place."
Then he ordered the guards:
"Keep a close eye on this impotent bastard and his entire family."
With that, Jeff stepped outside the manor.
But what awaited him outside filled him with both shock and disgust.
The same female Viper Guard was still carrying Bennison over her shoulder like a sack of grass. That was what shocked Jeff.
He immediately ordered her to put Bennison down and said:
"Bennison… if you really want to come with us, go pack your belongings—along with your wife's and daughter's—and bring the important items from your bakery. We depart in exactly one hour."
Hearing this, Bennison ran off toward his house to prepare.
Just as Bennison disappeared from sight, another voice rang out:
"Jeff, my friend…"
The voice was hoarse. With that voice alone, Jeff knew exactly who it was.
It was none other than Christopher.
Jeff turned toward the direction of the voice.
Christopher was approaching—completely naked.
He was holding a little girl in front of him like a toy, thrusting relentlessly into her pussy while her legs were wrapped tightly around his waist.
The girl was none other than the young maid Christopher had been using as his fucktoy earlier. Sarah stood right beside him, helping her father grind his cock deeper into the child's cunt.
As this horrifying scene unfolded before Jeff and Jasper's eyes, Jasper's eyes bulged in shock.
The reason for his shock wasn't Christopher's presence or what he was doing—but *with whom* he was doing it.
On Christopher's front, the little girl's legs were wrapped around his waist as he moved her body up and down, impaling her over and over. She kept moaning in pain:
"Mmmm… It's… hurts, Master… Hmmmm… Your dick is so big, Master… Please, Master… leave me and go fuck my mother… Hmmmm… Ahmmmn… or someone else… Hmmmnnn… Nooo… my pussy… It hurts… Annnhnn… No, Master… I'll die at this rate… Hmmnn… No, my pussy… Someone help me… I'm going to dieee… Ahnnnnmm…"
But her pleas went unanswered. Sarah, standing beside her, said coldly:
"Slut… let my dad enjoy your tight little pussy. You know my dad has been fucking me since I was ten years old. But you're twelve… yet look at you squealing like a breeding sow. Isn't he paying you a silver coin every day just to use your tight cunt?"
Hearing Sarah's words, Jasper's rage exploded. He shouted at Christopher:
"Bastard! Let that child go! You twisted, monstrous piece of filth!"
Hearing Jasper's bellow, Christopher—still ramming into the little maid—sneered:
"Who's this barking dog? You see—this is my fucktoy. I can fuck her whenever I want. My cumdump. My pocket pussy. I pay her a silver every day for this. So who the hell are you to shout at me, you son of a ovulating sow?"
Then Sarah cut in uninvited, pointing a finger at Jasper:
"You motherfucking son of a manwhore… don't interfere with us. Let us do whatever we want. I'm already pregnant with my dad—he can't impregnate me again until I give birth to the child in my womb. Until then, I found this little fucktoy for him myself. If you want one too, just say it. It'll cost you ten gold coins—even at a discount. You know tight pussies aren't free."
Just as Sarah finished speaking, Christopher groaned:
"Yess… oohhhh… this tightness… Ummmm… I'm close… Yess… Yess… just a little more… See? I'll impregnate this fucktoy today… Umm…"
Seeing Christopher in that moment, what Jasper felt was pure, boiling disgust. The same emotion burned in Jeff.
Suddenly Jeff ordered the same Viper Guard who had been holding Bennison earlier:
"Go—release that child from that monster's grip before he finishes inside her."
At the command, the guard—designated No. 987—moved like a blur and delivered a brutal kidney punch to Christopher.
The impact sent a surge of excruciating pain through him. His grip on the little girl weakened instantly, and she fell.
But before she hit the ground, No. 987 caught her and placed her gently beside Jeff.
Right now, the child was in no condition to speak—her vitality was draining rapidly.
Jeff looked at Jasper and said:
"Don't harm him too much, Jasper. He's prey for someone else."
Then Jeff took two or three vials of full-health potion from Derek—without paying or promising payment—and made the girl drink them.
Meanwhile, Christopher had already recovered. Seeing Jeff, his rage boiled over:
"Jeff… you fucking ruined my orgasm… my climax… you shit-sucking motherfucker bastard…"
But Jeff ignored him completely and focused only on the little girl.
After a few moments, her consciousness returned. She found herself no longer impaled on Christopher's cock—but standing beside strangers.
Confused, Jeff asked gently:
"What's your name, kiddo?"
The girl replied weakly:
"Erima."
Jeff asked:
"Who do you live with?"
Erima said:
"With my mother."
Jeff asked:
"Where is your mother?"
Erima answered:
"Inside Master's cage."
Jeff asked:
"Cage?"
Erima explained:
"He selects girls from the cage every day to fuck them by force. His daughter helps him. My mother is still kept inside that cage… she can only come out when Master is fully satisfied with fucking us."
Jeff asked:
"How many more girls around your age are inside that cage?"
Erima replied:
"I'm the oldest… Inside the cage, the girls range from 5 years old to 12. I'm the oldest… but the youngest one is only 5."
Hearing this, Jeff's and Jasper's blood ran cold.
Jeff realized the truth: the real monster in human skin wasn't Lucifer.
It was his former friend—Christopher Purefield.
Jeff stared again at the monstrous father-daughter duo, then muttered a few names under his breath.
Within moments, three shadowborn figures manifested beside him—Lucifer's shadow daughters: Lovertia, Gracy, and Vritra.
Jeff immediately gave orders:
"Lovertia… go with this girl named Erima. Find out how many cages there are and what atrocities are happening inside here and record everything in magic crystal ball".
"Vritra… you will take command of Derek's family and transport them all to Westirifer. Tell your dad not to punish them until I arrive in the duchy. And take four guards from me for escort."
"Gracy… Guard 987 will tell you who Bennison is. Your task is to take him, his wife, and daughter to Westirifer. Tell Allen that he is my friend and wishes to open a bakery and fruit shop. Arrange temporary residence for them inside the ducal manor."
Then Jeff turned to the remaining six Viper Guards:
"Two of you—apprehend this man and woman. The rest of you—assist Lovertia in locating the victims of this sick bastard."
With all tasks delegated, within the hour Vritra used her shadow powers to pull Derek and his entire family—escorted by four Viper Guards—directly into Lucifer's private chamber in the ducal manor. She informed Lucifer that Jeff had requested no punishment be administered until his arrival.
Upon completing her mission, Lucifer gifted Vritra a new burgundy gown embroidered with *Daddy's Love*. She vanished back into the shadow realm.
Meanwhile, Gracy led a cart toward Westirifer carrying Bennison, his wife Tesky, and daughter Loxa.
Finally, Lovertia and four guards discovered approximately 249 women and 73 underage girls imprisoned in cages—all mistreated, bruised, and broken.
On Jeff's command, Lovertia departed with those women and girls—including Erima—under heavy guard.
Now only two Viper Guards, Jeff, Jasper, and the monstrous father-daughter pair remained.
