"Okay, this is grander than Paimon thought." Whisper Paimon excitingly set an eye towards the food stalls nearby with many delicacies.

"Can we buy this first? Oh! Paimon wants that one too! And also that-"

"Paimon, focus. We here because of invitation not for vacation." Said Lumine.

"Well, what kind of invitation that need us to fight?"

"...True."

"Excuse me. Are you Lumine and Paimon?" A male demon wears some kind of soldier clothes come to them. Both of them nod.

"Please follow me, You need to get ready for the tournament."

"Aw~ Can't we buy some food first?"

"After the tournament, Your majesty will hold a banquet in the castle. You can eat there later tonight." He explains. Paimon being Paimon just start following him, happy that she going to eat later. Lumine can only sigh.

That girl really didn't know any danger.

#CARMILLA POV#

"How the preparation?" I ask Darik that currently walking beside me.

(This is the clothes and accessories that Carmilla wear. Picture not mine.)

"It's perfect. Just as your plan, my lady." I nod satisfy with how the plan work.

"My lady~" I can only see a green blur as my body suddenly being hug from the front. My face is leaning towards a strong chest.

"I miss you, my lady. You are so cruel~ Forcing me to become a babysitter."

"Hah.... Leif let me go." I push Leif body away from me but he still stubbornly didn't let his hug go.

"Don't wanna~ I didn't meet with you for today's breakfast. I need your presence dose or I'm afraid I will go insane. OUCH! What the-!"

"Let my lady go, you gigolo." Sven voice comes from behind Leif.

"Oh my. The kitten let his claw out. How terrifying. My lady saves me from this angry kitten." Sven vein pop hearing that word from Leif. Soon the electricity starts between them.

"You both shall be the one that stops." A dark aura comes from Darik body. His eyes look very scary making Leif and Sven flinch a little.

"Okay, that enough. We shall get going now. The tournament won't start without us there." I told them with a cold smile. They nodding yes and start to walk again but didn't stop the bickering. I can only massage my temple with a coming headache.

The sound of the trumpet can be heard when we get out, signaling our arrival. I come in and sit on my throne that has already been prepared while Darik and Leif are on my left and Lalsa with Vanity in my right (They meet on their way earlier).

Sven is sitting on the stair bellow me.

(How the throne look like with the same pose specially Sven and Carmilla pose. Picture not mine)

The only one that not present is Livius because he busy prepared the banquet and Hadeon will arrive a little bit late.

My eyes wandering towards a kneeling demon but there was one girl that caught my sight.

So that was her, huh? Not like I expected.

She looks at me straight in the eyes. I only smirk at her boldness making her surprised.

"Today is a glorious day. For once more time again we can start Red Moon Festival. The Festival celebrates the purpose of the demon. The festive that celebrate, Naferanam birth. Let the Festival begin." My voice resonates through the stadium and soon a cheer starts to erupt.

The Festival starts as usual. There total of 5 tests they need to pass. First, A strength test. The contestant needs to fight with their opponent without their weapon and only with their bare hand. Second, an agility test. They need to steal a flag from each contestant within 5 minutes and run towards the goal.

The third one is the durability test. They will be put on some cold freezing water (Can be different each year) and try to take something from there. If they have a vision, they are allowed to put their vision to use.

The fourth is called fight till the last, the remaining contestant will fight with each other until only 1 of them that can standstill. Many demons will fall on the fourth one.

And the last test is called Challenger. The final contestant will be faced with one of the sins that available and tries to win or to impress them and me.

Many demons will try their hard to pass the test or try to impressed me and the sins because they know this is the opportunity to join one of the Empire's main divisions or just for fame and reward.

"That girl is not too bad, huh?" I pointing at the girl name Lumine.

"Eh? Her movement is actually very good but she not cute." Pout Vanity. The rest sweatdrop hearing her words.

"Well, the girl is good but her companion.... Is quite useless."

"I wonder what did her companion serve as? A guide? Or maybe some kind of food?" said Leif.

"At least she makes a good pillow. I bet, if I sell her to Black Market, she gonna make quite a price."

"You and your weird fetish, I wonder what did they even see there. Aside from jewelry, clothes, and food there almost nothing useful there. Well, maybe a human body part is also a useful item to make a doll." Leif told Lalsa. Darik is only sighing harshly.

"You and your stupid doll," Darik said with a glare. I only giggle hearing their chatting. I set my eyes back to the arena. Clearly enjoying the show that girl put.
