----------
After Irene revealed Larcade's true identity, everyone's gazes toward him and August became strange.
In a sense, it was perfectly understandable for Larcade, as Zeref's creation, to view Zeref as his father. It was just that August, the biological son, couldn't accept it...
Larcade didn't pay attention to the others' gazes. Instead, his eyes were sharp as he stared at August. "August, Father entrusted you with a great responsibility, yet you couldn't even defend a palace and were captured by invaders."
"You've truly disgraced the Empire."
August couldn't be bothered to explain. Without being beaten by Noah, one couldn't comprehend his despair-inducing power. "Larcade, if there's nothing else, you can leave."
Seeing August's dismissive attitude, the smile on Larcade's lips stiffened.
He's only talking and not fighting? Why is this old man's temper so good today? Usually, if I provoked him, that geezer would at least secretly put a sack over my head and beat me up.
Something's fishy!
Larcade's gaze swept over the people in the room. Besides August and Irene, the others were just mages he could easily deal with.
The emblems on these people... Seeing the "Dancing Fairy" emblem, Larcade immediately understood that these people were from Fairy Tail.
The news from Invel said that August was defeated and captured by a Fairy Tail mage, but what Larcade saw was August and this group chatting and laughing, like a family having breakfast together.
The word "betrayal" immediately appeared in Larcade's mind, but he dismissed it. Anyone in the world might betray his father, but he and August never would.
Larcade didn't want to overthink. Instead of letting wisdom muddle his mind, it would be better to directly subdue these people and make them talk.
"August, I came today to tell you one thing."
"What you, the Wizard King, cannot do, I, Larcade, will do. What you, the Grand Strategist, cannot manage, I, Larcade, will manage."
"This is me, the Emperor's beloved son—White Dragneel!"
After speaking, Larcade clasped his hands together, looked at Makarov and the others, and gave an evil, charming smile. "Let me help you all recall the happiest moments of your physiological lives. White souls shall return to the free sky!"
"Pleasure!"
A pink aura instantly filled the entire room, and the most primitive desires surged into everyone's hearts, quickly taking over their bodies and minds.
"Ugh ah—"
"Something wants to come out of my body..."
"..."
For a moment, the room was filled with strange sounds rising and falling.
Even someone as strong as Erza, after being affected by this move, blushed, her legs pressed tightly together as she slumped in her chair, twisting her body.
Desire is the hardest thing for humans to resist, especially that primitive desire etched into their bones. Anyone who has experienced that wonderful feeling cannot escape Larcade's Pleasure.
However, Larcade's smile gradually disappeared.
Because two people in the room were completely unaffected by his magic: one was August, and the other was the white-haired young man suspected of defeating August.
August was one thing; since Larcade's birth, none of his abilities had been able to shake this Wizard King.
But why that white-haired young man?
Could he still be a virgin...?
Larcade's gaze toward Noah instantly filled with pity.
Even without using mind-reading, Noah could tell what that blond guy was thinking from his face. A mere demon dares to slander me?!
Just as Noah was about to act, Erza and Mira, consumed by lust, pounced on him from left and right.
"It's so hot, Noah~"
"Shall we go back to the room together to cool down? ♡~"
Feeling the whispers in his ear and the beautiful bodies exhaling hot breaths, Noah, who was originally completely unaffected by Pleasure, suddenly changed his expression.
Not good!
My heartbeat, my—
Provoked by Erza and Mira, Noah glared fiercely at Larcade. How could I be a lecher? It must be this damned desire demon's doing!
With just a glance, the palpable killing intent stiffened Larcade's entire body, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead. He actually felt the crisis of death.
How could there be such a terrifying human?!
A monstrous wave surged in Larcade's heart. In an instant, he seemed to understand why August had lost, but he no longer had time to think it through carefully.
Because a fist the size of a sandbag had already filled his vision.
A roar that seemed to shatter the soul exploded on a spiritual level. Before losing consciousness, Larcade saw an illusion of a giant whale, thousands of meters long, rushing toward him.
After Noah sent Larcade into a comatose state with one punch, the Pleasure affecting everyone was immediately dispelled.
As soon as everyone regained their senses, they immediately thought of their behavior just now and wished they could find a hole to crawl into. How embarrassing!
The awkward atmosphere intensified.
Since no one was speaking, Noah decided to call out names.
"Laxus, I remember you said women were annoying or something. How come you had such a thirsty expression just now? Could it be your sexual orientation..."
Damn, Noah is slandering me again!
Laxus gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn't do anything about Noah.
Ignoring Laxus's murderous gaze, Noah turned his head with a pleased expression to look at Gajeel. "You and Levy have been getting very close lately. I didn't expect you two to actually do 'that.' Aren't you afraid Jet and Droy will fight you to the death for this?"
Gajeel's face flushed. "Bastard, don't talk nonsense! Levy and I are innocent! We just held hands, we didn't do anything else!"
Gajeel's greatest pleasure was just holding Levy's hand?!
Noah's expression became strange. Who would have thought that Gajeel, who seemed the most likely to fool around, was actually an innocent and pure young man behind the scenes?
Isn't this contrast a bit too great?
Noah rubbed his chin and looked at Gray, the last one.
However, seeing Noah look at him, Gray's gaze darted away. His demeanor clearly indicated he had something to hide.
"Gray, you and Juvia?"
As soon as Noah spoke, Gray immediately defended himself with a wronged expression. "This really isn't my fault! Juvia listened to her counterpart's advice, I was forced!"
"That night I resisted, but, but..." Gray's voice trailed off miserably.
You're even playing the victim now!
Noah inwardly exclaimed. Gray was actually completely taken by Juvia, which was beyond imagination. What kind of bizarre things did she learn from the cold version of Juvia...?
One Larcade actually brought out so much gossip. As expected of a demon who manipulates desires—he played his part well.
Even Noah, the bystander, found it a bit much to take in.
