Royce Kunda

Royce was one Joseph's three scythes, in charge of the Magic Store. He signed a Master-servant contract, with Chen Rui as the Master in exchange for getting his Fiancee, Vasasha, back from Joseph. He reunites with Vasasha in Chapter 177.

## Cultivation

According to the information, Royce was brave, intelligent, and quite wise. However, his strength as a middle-stage Higher Demon was absolutely not a fluke. He might probably be one of the strongest in this stage.

## History

Royce and Arux were originally members of the Kunda Family under the Red Spirit Lord; they had been friends since young.

More than a hundred years ago, the patriarch of the Kunda Family, Royce's father, Kahn was killed for offending Josh.

The reason that Royce's father, Kahn was killed by the Red Spirit Lord, Josh was because of a rare treasure. This treasure was obtained after Kahn's hard work, but unfortunately, someone blew the whistle, and he was eventually killed by Josh. However, the whereabouts of the treasure disappeared, and it has not been found.

In fact, the clues of the treasure were sealed by Kahn in the body of his son's fiancee, Vasasha. Royce and Vasasha must be bonded to reveal the clues. Other than Royce, other men wouldn't find out even if they acquired Vasasha. This secret was only known by Royce, even Vasasha herself didn't know.

After Kahn was killed, the Kunda Family was deprived of their family name, and most members were reduced to being slaves. Arux was halfway to the Greater Demon level, so he protected Royce to escape from the Red Spirit Estate when the guards were not paying attention. A few years later, Royce knew that his beloved fiancee, Vasasha had become Joseph's maid.

When Arux and Royce tried everything they could to rescue Vasasha, Vasasha was actually unwilling to leave. Joseph then hunted and defeated the two. Even Arux, who advanced to High-rank Demon at the last second could not rival Joseph. At that time, Joseph was fighting vigorously with his brother, Kanita, and he needed talent. So, he didn't kill the two, but he asked them to surrender.

Aleksis was dissatisfied, and he requested to challenge again while Royce's condition was Vasasha. Joseph was cunning and immediately promised Alex that he could challenge once a year. Before he won, he must stay and serve under Joseph. The condition for Royce was simpler. As long as Vasasha was willing to follow Royce, Joseph would never stop. On the other hand, Royce had to be Joseph's subordinate like Alex. In addition, Joseph also promised to restore Kunda Family's honor as long as he took the position of the lord. However, Royce and Alex knew that Joseph was too far away from the lord's position, so it could only be considered as an empty promise.

Because of that, Royce and Arux became Joseph's subordinates. Both of them were capable and outstanding, so they were quickly valued. Arux challenged Joseph year after year, but he never succeeded; while Vasasha had already become Joseph's woman. No matter what method Royce used, he couldn't change her mind, and he had to continue to work under Joseph.

100 years have passed, although Royce had always been attached to Vasasha while Arux had never given up on challenging Joseph, time could always make people forget. Except for their persistent obsessions, both of them had gradually become accustomed to this life.

The female Great Demons were synonymous with loyalty. As long as one could truly get their heart and body, they would never betray. Yet, most of the male Great Demons were fickle. A man like Royce who was persistent for a woman that had lost virginity was truly an odd case.

Originally, Chen Rui only knew a little information from Shea; it was mainly about Arux's part, so he previously provoked Arux to accept his challenge, and it was indeed successful. It was just that the signing of War Contract was unexpected. He finally understood the origin of the entire matter now. It seemed that not only Royce, but even Arux also wasn't truly loyal to Joseph. As long as he could hit the critical point, it could make unpredictable changes.

However, making Vasasha changing her mind was indeed difficult.
