Suddenly, Kara opened her eyes.

Her brows knit together slightly as her gaze pierced toward the door.

Through the thin paper of the window and door, a tall shadow was clearly reflected—straight, oppressive, carrying a familiar demonic aura that made her heart sink.

"Luca?!"

The name slipped from her lips almost instinctively.

"That haunting man…"

Beside her, Morwen jolted awake. "Master, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," Kara replied softly, though her fingers had already tightened.

"An uninvited guest."

"Uninvited guest?" Morwen followed her line of sight.

The shadow outside the door stood motionless, yet the pressure it exuded felt like a blade pressing against the throat.

"Who is it?" Morwen asked, though her heart had already guessed the answer.

"It's me."

A calm, amused voice sounded from outside.

"Luca."

"The Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

Morwen's pupils shrank. Her face instantly turned pale.

This was the man who had previously forced their hand, the one who coveted the Sage Token and looked at her master with naked desire.

Why had he come again—alone, at night?

Morwen instinctively moved closer to Kara, unsure what else she could do.

"It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Holy Son," Kara said coolly.

"Why does Your Highness visit so late?"

Outside the door, Luca smiled.

"I was bored. Thought I'd come drink and chat with Miss Kara." His tone was casual, almost intimate.

"I wonder if you're willing to give me that honor?"

"Your Highness," Kara replied through voice transmission, suppressing the chill in her heart, "we entered the Demon Territory in disguise. Blue-Wave City is filled with experts. If Your Highness moves so openly, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

There was a brief silence.

Then Luca laughed.

"Are you… teaching me how to act?"

The temperature in the room seemed to drop.

"I only hope Your Highness considers the bigger picture," Kara said calmly.

"Let us wait for the Training Trial Secret Realm. As for food and wine, we can discuss it later."

"Later?" Luca's voice turned cold. "What if I want it now?"

Before Kara could react, space rippled.

The next moment, Luca was already inside the room.

Morwen's breath caught.

Kara's expression darkened instantly.

"Your Highness," Kara said slowly, "isn't it inappropriate to break into a woman's room at night?"

"Inappropriate?" Luca tilted his head, amusement flickering in his eyes.

"Kara, do you think I've been too gentle?"

"Or do you truly believe you can refuse me?"

His tone hardened abruptly.

"I wasn't asking just now. I was informing you."

He walked to the table, sat down leisurely, poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it as though he were the host.

"I'm here tonight to tell you something clearly."

"After discussing with several elders of the Demon Sect, we've decided that the Sage Token in your hand should be handed over to Elian, the third elder of your Black Demon Sect."

Morwen couldn't hold back. "Why?!"

"Our sect already handed over a Sage Token. Why does His Highness demand another from my master?!"

Luca raised his eyes slowly.

"Morwen, is it?" His gaze was sharp, carrying killing intent.

"Do you have the right to speak here?"

The pressure exploded.

Morwen's demonic energy froze instantly. The room felt like it had plunged into an icy abyss. Her knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Luca snorted.

"Kara, is this how you teach your disciple?" He looked down at Morwen with disdain.

"No rules at all."

Morwen clenched her teeth, forcing herself to bow. "Your Highness… I was impulsive. I ask for forgiveness."

"This isn't bullying," Luca said indifferently. "It's discipline."

Then he extended his hand toward Kara.

"Bring it."

"What?" Kara asked, though she already knew.

"Don't pretend," Luca replied flatly. "My patience is limited."

"Hand over the Sage Token. Let Elian enter the Training Trial Secret Realm in your place."

"In terms of qualifications, he surpasses you. In terms of strength, he's only one step away from the Supreme Realm."

"There are still nearly three months. Blue-Wave City is a blessed land—I'll personally help him break through."

"In this way, your Black Demon Sect keeps a quota and gains a Supreme. Isn't that perfect?"

Luca smiled faintly.

Kara's fists trembled.

"Luca, don't go too far," she said coldly.

"Two Sage Tokens were promised by the Demon Supreme himself."

"You are defying his will."

Luca laughed softly.

"Don't try to pressure me with my master's name."

"Before coming here, he said one thing very clearly."

"In the Demon Territory, big or small, all matters are decided by me."

He straightened up, eyes locking onto Kara.

"I'll give you two choices."

"First—hand over the Sage Token, then take your people and leave the Demon Territory immediately."

"Second—you follow me."

"Become my woman."

"If you do, your Black Demon Sect keeps both Sage Tokens. I'll personally protect you and your disciple in the Training Trial Secret Realm."

"I'll even help you find a perfect inheritance."

Luca's gaze lingered on her face, savoring every flicker of anger, humiliation, and resistance.

"You…"

Kara bit her lip until blood nearly seeped through.

This was naked coercion.

Friendship, alliances, promises—none of it mattered.

Only power.

Only dominance.

Morwen grabbed her master's sleeve desperately, shaking her head.

"Master… don't…"

Kara tightened her grip on Morwen's hand.

She knew.

If she refused, Luca would never let them leave the Demon Territory alive.

Her innocence.

Her plans spanning a century.

Her dignity.

All of it stood on the brink of collapse.

"I'm not a devil," Luca said leisurely, leaning against the wall.

"I'll give you three minutes."

"Think carefully."

Then he raised his voice casually.

"Waiter. Bring me the finest wine and dishes."

Outside, the waiter responded obediently.

"Yes, honored guest. It will be ready shortly."

The room fell into silence.

Three minutes.

Each second felt heavier than a mountain.

Kara closed her eyes slowly.

At this moment, there was only one path left.

Commit yourself to Luca and join the Heavenly Demon Sect.
