Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

The contest between Kael and Earl Campbell continued to ferment in secret, and in the Charles family, Rezhe.D.Charles, regarded by Earl Campbell as a significant threat, silently watched today's news without comment.

"Campbell... that useless fool who has lost the Lion Heart, still has a little value to be utilized."

He recalled the intelligence reports about Earl Campbell, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.

"Alas, had he retained his peak condition from the past, he wouldn't have been discarded."

Standing by his side, Harry frowned and said, "Earl Campbell's condition seems a bit strange... He's not usually quick-tempered, although his temper isn't really good either."

Count Rezhe shook his head and sighed, "Harry, do you know why I chose Salazar as your mentor at the Magic Academy?"

Harry hesitated, after all, it was his father, and he disliked lying, so he said, "Father, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Both, let me see if you've grown wiser compared to two years ago."

Harry looked at his father with a complex expression and whispered, "The lie is that teacher Salazar has strong abilities and a powerful network."

"And the truth?"

"You need me to represent you and make clear that we are on the same side as those rich merchants and nobles..."

"Foolish!" Count Rezhe barked out loud.

"Harry, you're not fit to be a noble. This is the last time I'll properly explain to you the reasons. After this, you'll have to figure things out on your own."

Upon hearing Count Rezhe's words, Harry's expression changed slightly, but ultimately, he bowed his head and chose to obey his father's instructions.

"I ask you, what do you think the merchants and nobles represent?"

"One of your primary supporters."

"No, they are merely tools to accomplish missions. If they can meet the objectives I want to see, then they are my allies; if they cannot, then they have no value."

...Hearing Count Rezhe's words, Harry fell silent.

"Salazar is a classic of the Blood School, adhering to human supremacy, something I don't need to elaborate on, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you know why Salazar is a staunch human supremacist? Over a hundred years ago, Salazar wasn't an Englishman. Back in his academy, there was a profession known as 'Bloodline Wizard.'

"They drew power from the magic creatures to make their bodies more adaptable to certain types of magic, and later, they targeted a special magical creature that had been circulating on the continent for many years."

Hearing his father speak, Harry's expression changed slightly as if he had thought of something.

"My foolish son, it seems you've remembered. The magical creatures that exist in the largest number, possess the greatest strength, and are the most widespread across the world are called demons.

"Salazar's parents, children, lover, and teachers, everything he cherished… all perished in the catastrophe caused by demons that year. Since then, there has only been the human-supremacist Salazar, no longer the Bloodline Wizard Salazar.

Harry, remember this well: the demons of the Bottomless Abyss are the enemies of all creatures today. They represent chaos and evil itself. Kael is an opponent you must defeat."

"And what about Earl Campbell?"

"The lesson of the Bloodline Wizards hasn't been learned yet; every year, there are knights who seek to draw demonic extraordinary abilities in pursuit of power…

"And every year, there are knights who fail to manage that power and instead become corrupted by the Abyss. Earl Campbell... has not been truly corrupted, but he has been greatly influenced nonetheless.

"When a powerful demon tempts him, he becomes arrogant and irritable, an unavoidable flaw and the reason why I can so easily exploit him."

Upon hearing this, Harry's face flashed with a look of horror, "Father, you..."

"The abnormal behavior of Campbell was caused by me. Facing Pope Mephiel head-on left him with severe psychological scars. In an imperfect Spiritual Body World, he naturally couldn't resist the call of demons.

"Merely by causing fluctuations in his emotions, he is brought to reveal fatal flaws. Now, the flaw has appeared."

Harry remained silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "Father, this is an unfair competitive tactic."

"Harry, remember, when you face real enemies, they won't play fair with you either.

"Back then, Campbell thought he could control the power of demons, but now it has been proven that he was not qualified. If he can show such flaws against me so easily, the likelihood of him revealing flaws against true enemies is even greater.

"My foolish son, if he doesn't possess such qualifications, then I will personally eliminate him from the list of heirs, at least he could still save his life and not turn his cowardice into a danger to others."

Finally, after a long silence, Harry sighed, "I understand, father. In a few days, the covert Mage Academy is organizing a group to go to the independent Kingdom of Orleans, and I have already applied to go with teacher Salazar.
