Chapter 175.3
Drawing in Demons and forcing a Demon Attack event could not harm the heroine. Even if the follower had gone ahead and tried to kill the heroine, it would have only given the heroine the opportunity to gain the light attribute.
“Lady Elle…”
Clara wanted nothing more, not even the Dandol family’s desire for a Queen, not even their lives.
Clara wanted only one thing: Ervan. In order to prevent him from becoming a puppet and raising the poisoned cup in secret, Clara desperately thought of the only way for Ervan to survive by eliminating the heroine, while cutting down her own life.
To do so, she was willing to stain her own hands with blood. Clara was not afraid to be condemned and executed just like in the game.
Clara frowned out of anxiety whenever she saw Princess Elena, Baroness Aria, and Carla, who was under house arrest and whose behavior was the most unpredictable of the three.

The [Selection Ceremony] to determine the Demon Lord was customarily held in the dungeons of the land.
The person who declared himself king chose about ten warriors, and the victory condition was to conquer the dungeon and be the first to retrieve the [proof] from the deepest part of it or to kill all the other participants.
However, only the first Demon Lord was able to retrieve the dungeon’s proof in the previous selection ceremonies, and after that, everything else was settled by [killing each other].
This dungeon under the Demon Fortress must have a long history, but there were only ten floors.
But that did not mean it was easy to conquer. The area of the dungeon was several times larger than the dungeon Elena and I had dived before, and it had become a “labyrinth” in the true sense of the word, requiring us to go up and down the floors many times.
