Night fell and I headed to the location of the eting.
It wasn't in the town, but rather in a manor that had been built outside of town.
This was a private manor for one of the Lord Baron's subordinates and was regarded as a sumr manor, so normally there wouldn't be anyone here. That gave it the perfect cover as the eting place of the demon order.
When I arrived at this place, there were already many carriages gathered.
But at the sa ti, since it was a secret, there were also many guards gathered as well.
When they saw the carriage that I borrowed from Mada Rose approaching, the guards imdiately ca up to surround .
I could see that the other carriages weren't being surrounded, so at the very least it seed that they recognized the ones that ca regularly. At the sa ti, it told that there was a hierarchy of seniority in this demon order.
The guards ca forward to surround the carriage and then they asked to open the door.
The mont that the door was opened and they saw sitting there, they imdiately dropped their tough act and beca humble.
That was because they recognized the cloak and mask that I was wearing.
These were guards that were chosen to guard the demon order gathering, so there was no doubt that they knew about the demon order. Since they knew about the demon order, it wasn't strange that they would recognize this cloak and mask.
As I looked at the guards, I couldn't help being surprised by sothing.
I actually recognized two of these guards.
These two were the ones that had guarded my cell when I was in the dungeon, the ones that had tried to torture for their own ego.
They had acted tough back then, but now…they were almost groveling at my feet after seeing the cloak and mask that I was wearing.
I had the urge to torture them, but I held myself back in the end since that wasn't my goal in coming here.
If I were to take things too far, it would be very easy for to expose my identity.
So I held it in and headed towards the manor, leaving the carriage to the driver and guards.
As I was heading in, I couldn't help wondering why these two guards were in this place.
When I was in the cell, they acted like they were guards that had been forced into watching over . The way they talked made it seem like they were two low level guards that had drawn the short straw.
But when I thought about it, I realized that wasn't the case.
I was the sex slave that the Lord Baron had just bought for a decent amount of money, so I could be considered valuable rchandise. It wasn't as if the Lord Baron would leave unattended, so he would send so guards that he trusted.
That ant that these two were actually high ranking guards that had the Lord Baron's trust that had been sent to watch over .
With what kind of personality they had, it wasn't strange that these people worked closely with the Lord Baron.
After walking into the manor, I was surprised by how luxurious it was.
Even though this was a manor built for secret etings, they didn't hold back at all in decorating it.
In the main hall, there were also a bunch of other n in the sa cloak and masks as who were currently talking to each other.
To my surprise, I found that there were also masked servants who were walking amongst them with trays in their hands. When I looked closely, I found that there were appetizers and glasses filled with wine atop these trays.
It was almost like I had walked into a ball instead of a secret eting for the demon order.
The way that these people acted didn't seem like they were here to discuss evil things, but rather just to relax.
At first, no one really noticed as I walked in, but soon there were a few people that turned their attention to .
As for the reason…it was because my cloak was too big.
They couldn't help finding it strange that I was basically dragging my cloak behind as I walked, so they had co over to see what was wrong. When they ca closer, they realized that I was just short and the cloak didn't fit .
Of course, that didn't cause them to lose interest as they were curious how soone as short as had gotten into their group.
But they didn't doubt that I was in their group because I had the cloak and mask.
As I had suspected, this cloak and mask were the standard issue uniform for this demon order, so they didn't doubt as long as I had this.
The ones that ca up to talk to were so of the newer mbers of the demon order. These were the ones that had only been inducted a few etings before this, so they didn't know many people here either.
But they didn't hesitate to introduce themselves to .
It was as if they didn't care about the fact that they were a secret society at all.
I found out that these people were either rchants or knights from the surrounding area that had flocked under the Lord Baron since he was the most powerful noble in the area.
The knights were in charge of the villages under the Lord Baron's town and the rchants were in charge of the economy of these villages by trading between them.
With these people, it could be said that the demon order had full control of this surrounding area.
It seed that the Lord Baron had been thorough with his choice of people that he added into the demon order.
At the sa ti, it seed like the demon order's influence spread way further than we had expected.
