026 AWAKENING THE DEMON WITH TOO MUCH SE…
"Could I?" Green asked, her curiosity growing. "But Madame la Rosa stopped you from taking his essence, didn't she?"
"Yes, that's true," Dassa said.
"Could you find him again, your chosen one?" Green pressed, a gleam of intrigue in her eyes.
"I don't know. The seer's guidance works only once for us. I was led to him by the seer, but the seer will not help us again—not without Madame Blue knowing," she explained.
"But surely, there's another way," Green Rose said, her voice lowering to a conspiratorial whisper.
Dassa raised an eyebrow. "Do you want to seek him out, Madame Green?"
Green shook her head quickly. "Of course not. I'm just… curious."
Dassa smirked slightly.
"Actually, it's not impossible to find him. He frequents Bagnio la Pleasures—our establishment outside the realm. You could wait for him there."
Green Rose's eyes flickered with interest, but doubt lingered. "But what if he doesn't notice me? And I can't show my stunning beauty in public to attract him. If Blue found out, it would be the end for me."
Dassa considered this for a moment, then said, "I could write him a letter. If you deliver it, he'll recognize it and agree to meet with you in private. You could probe him… and maybe succeed where I failed in claiming his unicorn essence."
Green Rose's smile widened, her excitement barely contained. "That's a splendid idea."
Dassa's lips curved into a knowing smile. "I'll let you know if he makes an appointment to Bagnio la Pleasures"

[Outside Emerald's bed chamber before her demise]
"Madam Dassa, you can spy on the next room from here," Madam Make-Me-Money whispered as she guided Dassa to a hidden chamber, revealing a small, secret opening that allowed a clear view into the room beyond.
The soundproofing was poor, and Dassa could easily overhear the conversations happening next door.
"Who is that woman in there?" Madam Make-Me-Money asked, her curiosity barely concealed.
Dassa's expression darkened as she looked through the opening. "Do not ask questions about the woman in the next room," she warned sternly. "This isn't something you want to meddle with. Just follow my orders."
The older woman nodded quickly, a mixture of fear and obedience in her eyes.
"They'll be arriving soon. I'll leave you to your business," Madam Make-Me-Money said, retreating from the secret room, leaving Dassa alone.
Dassa's gaze shifted to Leo as he entered the next room.
His face fell as he read her letter, the disappointment was clear.
"I'm sorry, idiot."
A pang of guilt pierced through Dassa's heart. She didn't want to involve him, didn't want to hurt him, but she had no other choice. Leo had become a pawn in a much larger game, a game she could no longer back out of.
As the night wore on, Dassa watched intently.
Emerald, also known as Green Rose, began to make her move on Leo.
Dassa's hand instinctively went to the dagger hidden beneath her cloak. She had been waiting for this moment.
"Come on bitch, it's hard to lure you out from the damn realm. I'll kill you now", Dassa told herself.
This was part of Dassa's plan all along to kill Green Rose. Dassa planned to strike Green Rose, to end her life while she was vulnerable here.
Green Rose was powerful inside the Realm of Rose. The realm seemed to bestow on her special powers but out here, Green was just an ordinary woman.
Green Rose had kept her visit here secret because she didn't want anyone to know that she was seeking out the chosen one. Not even her closest allies knew she was here tonight.
It was the chance Dassa had longed for—the chance to avenge her friend, the one she calls Father. Green Rose was the one who dismembered him, turning him into a unicorn.
"All these fucking years..", she lamented.
Dassa had waited years for this revenge, meticulously planning every detail even grafting the skin of a dead Rose on her body to pretend to be one of them.
Dassa had a plan – to lure Green Rose out of the safety of her palace with the one thing no Rose could resist—the Black Cock or what the Roses call, the Demon Lusifar.
When Dassa discovered that Leo possessed the Black Cock tattoo on him, her plan had finally come together. Leo was her lure to fish for a Rose or more Roses.
"What the hell?" Dassa nearly gasped when she saw Leo's transformation which altered her calculations.
Dassa doesn't need Leo to help her kill Green Rose. He was only the lure. But apparently Leo was much more.
Leo's once ordinary form twisted into something monstrous, something terrifying. His entire being—had become something dark and powerful, a true incarnation of the Demon Lusifar.
"I thought he only has the mark of the Black Cock. How did the idiot awaken Lusifar? Becoming him," Dassa wondered. "Damn, that perverted shit, he must have too much sex after going back to his house. Idiot," she gathers.
Dassa knew Leo was the reincarnation of the demon Lusifar but she didn't expect him to turn so soon. She believed he would not indulge in lust too much to enable the transformation.
Dassa covered her mouth, forcing herself to stay silent as she witnessed the horrifying scene unfold.
Leo, now fully transformed into a demon, unleashed his fury on Green Rose. He pounded her mercilessly with his wicked phallus, torturing her in a way that made Dassa's blood run cold.
Even a hellhound was not so vicious.
But this was the revenge she had wanted—Green Rose's suffering, her downfall and Leo made it possible for her.
When it was finally over, Dassa slipped out of the secret room quietly, and found Madam Make-Me-Money waiting nearby.
"Tell no one about Emerald's disappearance," Dassa commanded. "She was never here."
Madam Make-Me-Money nodded silently, her face pale, before Dassa disappeared into the night.
As Dassa stepped out of the Bagnio, she paused for a moment, her thoughts drifting back to Leo. The image of his disappointed face haunted her.
"That idiot is going to hate me after tonight," she muttered under her breath, sadness welling up in her chest.
