The tension in the room was palpable as everyone turned their attention to the final guest and his entourage. Batibat, with a gulp, composed himself and spoke in a measured tone.

"Allow me to present our esteemed guest, whose presence has taken us by surprise and for whom we were not able to make adequate preparations. Please forgive us for any inconvenience. Lord Alex, I am pleased to introduce you to the highly esteemed King of Sloth. With him are his chief advisor, Chigaru, as well as his two other attendants. Also in attendance is Yaotl, the Chief of the Jaguar People."

As the introductions were made, the air in the room grew thick with anticipation. Everyone was curious to see how the Lord of Sloth would react to Alex's presence. His reputation preceded him, and many were wary of his lethargic and indolent nature.

As Justinian handed the book to Yaotl, Alex couldn't help but notice the that It was as though the music in his mind had reached its crescendo.

The fact that the king of Sloth had taken such a nonchalant approach to the meeting made Alex feel uneasy.

Justinian crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair, as if the situation were of no consequence. "Let's make things interesting now," he said with a smirk, his words laced with a hint of mischief.

The room fell silent as Justinian's words hung in the air. His reputation as the most mysterious and inscrutable of the Rulers of Sin made everyone uneasy. They all knew that his intentions were often impossible to discern, and his actions were frequently unpredictable.

As Justinian crossed his legs and appeared relaxed, the other attendees remained on edge, waiting for him to reveal his plans. The tension was palpable, and several heads tilted in confusion as they tried to comprehend the meaning behind his words.

Alex couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation, unsure of what Justinian had in mind. As the Shah of Sloth was known to confide in only a select few, no one present in the room could understand what he was thinking.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Justinian spoke again. "Yes... I think I know what I want to do now," he said, his voice low and measured.

The silence in the room grew even more profound as everyone held their breath, waiting for Justinian to elaborate on his plans.

No one knew what to say or do in this situation, not the district leaders, the Pillar of Lust, nor the ambassadors. The only thing they could do was wait and hope that Justinian's intentions would become clear soon.

Alex, feeling responsible as the spokesperson of the group, gathered the courage to ask Justinian about his intentions. As the ruler of Sloth had stated that he wanted to make things "interesting," Alex asked him to clarify his statement.

Justinian's gaze swept across the room, observing each individual present. Batibat was currently clenching his teeth, he wouldn't do anything yet, but if something threatened his new liege's safety, he would move.

Alex assumed that Yaotl and Chigaru, being Justinian's subordinates, would be aware of his plans, but the other attendees were left in the dark.

As Justinian's statement hung in the air, the atmosphere in the room grew tense.

Orcus, one of Alex's most trusted retainers, adopted a combative stance, his body language indicating that he was ready for whatever might happen next.

Limbra, another of Alex's followers, stood still, her eyes trained on the room for any signs of danger.

Ruby, a young girl who had been observing the proceedings from a corner of the room, smiled in anticipation of what might come next, while Asmodea, another of Alex's retainers, edged closer to him, ready to fight if necessary.

The district leaders each had their own response to Justinian's words, with some appearing intrigued, others defensive, and still others apprehensive.

Katiyana, the High Priestess of the Yuki-Onna, calmly sipped her drink, clearly indicating that she did not want to get involved in any potential conflict.

Iris, meanwhile, seemed to be struggling with whether to take action or remain relaxed. The ambassadors present watched the situation with great interest, eager to see how events would unfold.

Justinian took his time to reply to Alex's question, appearing to be deep in thought. Eventually, he spoke, saying that there was nothing serious about his plan.

He explained that as a Ruler of Sin, one could not afford to be weak physically or mentally, and that he did not doubt the previous lord's choice of heir.

However, he felt it was his duty to investigate whether Alex would be a proper Lord of Lust.

His words were delivered without a hint of care, as if the situation was of no importance to him.

He went on to mention that it had been eighteen years since a Lord of Lust had ruled, and that he and the other Rulers of Sin were curious to know whether Alex was worthy of the title.

He also pointed out that he and the Warmaster of Wrath were the only ones who were making any effort to find out.

The room was silent as everyone processed Justinian's words. Orcus and Asmodea looked tense, ready for any potential threat.

Limbra's eyes were sharp, scanning the room for any signs of trouble.

Little Ruby's smile grew wider, clearly excited by the idea of a test. The district leaders and ambassadors were all watching and waiting, unsure of what to expect.

Alex remained calm and composed, although he felt a knot forming in his stomach. He knew that as a Ruler of Sin, he had to be strong and capable, but the idea of being tested by Justinian was daunting. He could only hope that he would pass whatever test was coming his way.
