"Is everyone present?" Raven\'s voice was calm and almost cold when she asked the question.

Herself and Red were currently preparing for a conference, or rather a meeting, with Red\'s retainers.

Since their arrival to the Demon Plane, Raven and her group had spent some time adjusting to the changes in mana concentrations as it was more potent here than in the Human Plane.

While at first, Raven had spent some time training her group and giving them some tips here and there, she decided that now was the time to get the job done.

The demon realm was a dangerous place and she didn\'t want to leave Axane, Maria, and the rest here for long.

The plan was to simply track down the newly awakened demon lords, the Cardinal Sins, and eliminate them, or at least that\'s what Raven had thought.

But apparently, some of them were working with Red and under his command. While he hasn\'t explained how or why they were following his orders, he confirmed that they can help them against the rest.

"Yes, Lady Raven," Red said, answering Raven\'s question, while standing besides her. "Those pitiful six aristocrats are my retainers, and they currently rule the demon kingdom in the central lands with each ruling over their own duchy."

Hearing that, the demons present could not help but frown at how their master was treating them.

Although they had each claimed the noble rank of archduke, the pinnacle of what the demon evolution had to offer, they were being mocked in front of a young stranger that wasn\'t even a demon herself.

"Master," one of the demons stood up, anger seeping from his veins. "If I may so bold to ask, who is that little girl and why is she taking your seat while you\'re left standing like a serv-"

Before he could continue, he felt something poking against his chest. By the time he realised something was wrong, he became aware that a large chunk of his chest had disappeared as blood splattered everywhere.

"I haven\'t allowed you to talk, now have I?" Red\'s enraged yet chilly cold voice came from behind him, making him almost lose consciousness.

"Red," Raven simply said while signalling for him to return to her side. She was currently sitting with her chin resting on top of her hand against the side of the throne while crossing her legs in an uncaring manner. "Don\'t start slaughtering your retainers like flies." 

Hearing that, Red quickly returned to his spot besides her. 

"Hm, and you…" She looked at the archduke that had spoken and let his aura flare. "You asked who I am, correct?" She asked and he simply nodded, rage was still visible in his eyes as he healed himself. "Hm, the answer is quite simple-"

Saying that, Raven\'s eyes glowed with a crimson hue that was filled with some otherworldly energy.

With a snap of her fingers, dark crimson chains suddenly appeared out of nowhere and lashed at the six demons\' necks.

By the time they were able to perceive what had happened, they each felt a strange alien mana signature inside of their mana cores that somehow felt as if it had trapped their souls.

"I am your new master," Raven said while snapping her fingers again, making the chains go invisible while maintaining their effect.

\'Hm, glad I haven\'t been storing energy for nothing,\' Tu muttered as a system notification flashed in Raven\'s vision.

[Notice.

[New contribution received from entity Turanor, the Crimson Monarch of Contracts.

[New Skill has been Acquired and added to the effects of the blessing: The Sacred Contract of the Crimson Monarch

[Crimson Monarch\'s Chains: summon the chains of the monarch that force a contract with the enemies of the monarch and traps them in an eternal bind that controls their destinies. 

[Enemies that are bound by the Chains of the Monarch have their souls under full control of the monarch.

[However, this effect is dependent on the difference in power levels. If the difference is too vast between the caster and the enemy, this skill will not work or will be broken shortly after being casted.]

\'Good job, Tu,\' Raven complimented since she knew the effort he had put into adapting his original techniques as a Monarch into assisting her with small stuff like this.

Understanding what had just happened, the six archdukes seemed seething with rage. They were nobles, the rulers of the Demon world, but now they were being mocked by a young girl that didn\'t even look that threatening.

"Let me make things straight," Raven stood up from her throne while avoiding flaring her mana for multiple reasons, the most important one being that it would be a waste of mana.

When compared to the massive amounts of mana the six demons in front of her possessed, she was just a fish in a small pond while they resembled sharks in the sea. 

"Me and Red will be going for a small trip soon. And you, kids, are still too weak to accompany us, so you\'ll be left home to protect the people within this castle from a possible invasion. Is this clear?"

Noticing their silence, Raven clicked her tongue, "speak up, don\'t stand like a bunch of morons!"

"I- Lady Raven," one spoke her name slowly since he had heard it from Red. "May we know who you are?"

Hearing that, Raven infused herself with Tu\'s crimson aura as she flickered in front of him and instantly delivered a kick straight to the face then followed that with a punch that sent his body crashing against the enhanced walls of the castle. 

BOOOOM!!

Seeing his face and chest explode in front of them, the rest were left shaking. \'She is crazier than Red…\' they all thought while looking at Red in plea, but they soon realised they were doomed the moment they saw him hugging himself and smiling sadistically.

"I\'ve told you that I\'m your new master, are you deaf?" She asked as the demon in front of her had his missing parts regenerated quickly. "The only questions you can ask are those related to my orders, is that clear?"

"Yes, apologies, mistress." He apologized with a deep bow. "I have asked a disrespectful, and rather obvious, question and I greatly appreciate your guidance."

"Good," Raven said while walking back to her throne. "Next time you can say goodbye to your miserable life.. You\'re dismissed."
