Seeing Ernest desperate expression Daimon leaned against the back of his chair, he already did his part so it was ti for Erin to reap the results.
But then sothing he didn't expect happened.
[Ding]

Daimon nearly fell from his chair, but given the seriousness of the current situation he controlled himself and instead focused on Erin.
At this point Ernest noticed this was the end of the road for him, so at the beginning he tried to shout and insult the woman who was probably responsible for all this, but no matter how much he tried the words that he had in his mind didn't co out.
He felt empty as if he had lost sothing important, but he confused it with the feeling of knowing the grim reaper was coming for him.
Erin saw the suffering expression in Ernest's face and she felt as if a knot in her heart was dispelled, while she was indifferent towards Edgar since she considered him a re peon, Ernest was different.
He took advantage of the precarious situation in which her mother ended after the war, and used other underhanded thods to pressure her into accepting his conditions to not revolt.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she hated his guts, but then she now felt as if she was freed from her hatred.
From the corner of her eyes, she looked at Daimon and she felt sweet in her heart, her intuition told her this was sohow related to him,
"Aisha was right, you ca to this world to beco our light", she thought before focusing her attention on Ernest.
"There was a ti where I would have peeled your skin and cut your tendons for all the things you did, but now I understand you are a re stone in the road, so go to hell".
Erin waved her hand and a black spear pierced Ernest's face killing him in the spot, Daimon received a notification but he ignored it, this was an important mont for Erin, and he as her life partner of course gave all his attention to her.
The black spear disappeared and a dull sound echoed through the room as the corpse of Ernest fell to the ground.
Only then Daimon stood up, the other girls also took off their masks of the hollow suits and beca visible.
Daimon silently hugged Erin from behind, he rested his hands on her belly and simply remained silence while having her in his embrace.
Erin was nearly 30 centiters taller than him so from behind he barely reached the height of her neck, but right now Erin felt as if her whole body was being enveloped in the warmness of her lover.
Liz and Elaine also approached their mother and hugged her just like when they were little girls, the mont was short but precious, they didn't know their grandmother but Erin told them stories of her, when they were children.
Erin patted the heads of her daughters and they let go of her, she then turned around kissed Daimon.
Just like how Daimon took revenge for what Ernest did, without she asking him to do it, she didn't say thanks nor ntioned it, because she knew things like that weren't needed between them.
"This is part of my duties as the head of the family", is what Daimon would say if she thanked him.
Daimon let go of her and then put on his mask again, surprisingly the woman wasn't count as material for his new skill, probably because Ernest destroyed her core so she suffered physical pain even before being tricked by him.
So, he simply pointed at her and small black needle pierced her head, it wasn't hard to notice she was probably manipulated by Ernest due to her admiration towards Edgar.
Unfortunately, she took her own decisions and these were the consequences, maybe if she repented of her actions, he would have placed a terror collar on her neck, but she simply tried to seduce him for her own goals, and a crippled enemy was of no use for him.
Still Daimon wasn't going to let her live to avoid unnecessary troubles, so a painless death was the best he could do for her.
"Let's go", said Daimon before snapping his fingers, the whole room was covered in white flas consuming any evidences left behind, before Erin used space shift making them disappear.
…
A mont later they appeared above the Revy clan inside of the barrier, there was still one last "loose end" to get rid of.
Aura nodded at Erin and she took Liz and Aisha to their rooms at the guest's mansion, Elaine returned to her mother's mansion leaving only Daimon and Erin behind.
This was sothing they previously discussed, Liz wasn't interested in seeing how Edgar was dealt of, Elaine also decided she didn't care, so Erin was going to take care of it, but Daimon also wanted to go.
Without a second of delay, they also disappeared from the sky and appeared inside the jail, of course for security there were guards but Edgar didn't have any strength so he wasn't particularly supervised.
Daimon carefully scanned the whole place with his truth seeker eyes, there were caras and a ton of mafic formation to detect intruders, luckily Erin had the master control for all those things, because he needed to be visible to accomplish what he wanted.
He then focused his attention on the man inside the cell, Edgar was now a mortal and has aged since he stopped being a mage, while on the outside he looked depressed, Daimon could see he was nervous as if he was eager for sothing to happen.
With a smirk he looked at Erin and they both deactivated the hollow suit before she used her spell dark curtain to cover the room just in case, for other people eyes Edgar was simply sat there with an expressionless face.
But the reality was completely different, Edgar saw Daimon and Erin appearing in his cell and he imdiately stood up, his face paled, which made Daimon chuckle.
"You look as if you saw a ghost, were you perhaps waiting for soone else to co?".
Listening to Daimon's disdaining voice, Edgar's heart sank when he had a bad premonition which was confird a mont later when a couple of things appeared on the ground a few centiters away from him.
"Ahhh!", Edgar shouted seeing the severed heads of the ones that were supposed free him after getting rid of Daimon.
But he then gritted his teeth and gave Daimon a hatred filled gaze only to be reproached by him.
"Now, you don't have to look at like that, I didn't do this, it was Ernest the one that beheaded all these guys".
Edgar's eyes narrowed but he snorted.
"Do you really expect to believe such an obvious lie, uncle Ernest has known them for such a long ti that they are practically part of the family, there is no way that…".
Edgar couldn't finish his sentence when Daimon showed him the scene of Ernest crippling the woman and offering her to Falco, before skipping to the part where he beheaded all his supporters with a calm expression.
Edgar nearly fainted, he couldn't believe what he was seeing, but then what happened in front of him made his eyes beco bloodshot.
Daimon wrapped his arm around Erin's waist, which Erin responded enveloping him with her long fluffy tail.
With a smiling expression Daimon put the last nail on Edgar's coffin.
"Of course, all of that happened because I tricked that idiot into believing he would live if he killed them, once he finished a spear pierced his stupid face".
Edgar's eyes seed to spit fire; he saw Daimon caressing Erin's face before he kissed her.
"He deserved it for all the troubles he caused my cute Erin don't you agree?".
"You bastard!!!".
Edgar finally exploded, he was seeing the woman he has desired his whole life being touched and kissed by another man in front of him, the worst was that since Erin was actually letting him touch her tail, he knew this wasn't feigned.
She was conquered by a mber of a young generation which appeared out of nowhere, while when he was an Archmage and tried to court her in every possible way, didn't even got a smile from her in hundreds of years.
He was furious, but then he felt as if the world lost all its color, a giant dark shadow with violet eyes appeared behind the smiling black-haired youth and he fell to the ground feeling as if he was suffocating.
Overlord's pride is a skill who affects other regardless of their rank, it's easier for those with weak or affected minds to be overwheld by Daimon's aura when he unleashes it, and Edgar practically went crazy a mont ago.
Then the sound of the notification Daimon was expecting rang on his ears.
