King of succubus

—

Two hundred kilometers from the battlefield, the few high-ranking officers were gathered in a meeting room with dark expressions on their faces. Just by seeing them looking at the pawns, and the various crosses on the map that was on the big tables, anyone could guess that these people were the strategists who occupied directing the alliance troops on the battlefields.

“Damn, what are we attending here?! Have magic beasts become so intelligent as to implement counterattack strategies?!” Tugra asked in a frustrated tone by tearing off his own hair.

“Sigh, it is the first time that this kind of event has occurred during our millennia of battles. We had apparently underestimated the magic beasts. All their movements are carefully calculated. I think the only solution we have left is to withdraw, for now, otherwise, I am afraid that we will lose the war even before it begins.” It was the voice of the King of the Kelspies that resonated in a discouraged and monotonous tone.

“Withdrawal is the worst decision we will make. We always have a chance to win the war, but if we ever decide to withdraw to the borders, then our existence on this planet will end.” Among them, the only person who managed to keep a cool head was the queen of the Vampires, Liliana Bloodclaw. She was a woman with pale white skin with celestial curves. Her eyes were bloody red colors and flamboyant red hair.

She had nothing to envy from the women of this planet. During their first encounters with her, Tugra was instantly charmed by her without her realizing it herself.

“But, if we do not withdraw, our troops will be massacred! It is better to lose a battle than the whole war.” Retorted the king of the Kelspies in a boring tone. Since his meeting with this woman, he had only one word in his mind, this woman had a flamboyant temperament like the color of her hair. He could not find good examples to qualify her, since he did not know the expression tsundere.

“He is right, Lady Liliana. If we do not withdraw, our elite troops will be massacred and the horde of beasts will continue its journey to our lands while we look at them helplessly.” Tugra intervened trying to convince her of a dubious tone. He himself knew that this was not the good solution, but there was no better either.

Liliana frowned in front of their narrow-mindedness and deepened her explanations. “Then answer a question. Who of you knows the approximate number of magic beasts?”

“…”

“…”

Seeing them silent, she continued: “Nobody? Are there a thousand? Are they? Ten miles? No, there are probably several million behind their troops! You must surely wonder why I’m asking for that? Sigh, the reason is obvious, isn’t it? If we let such a horde out of their dens, do you seriously think that we will have the slightest chance of winning against them? No, it is by letting them out that we will lose the war even before the battle begins. This is our only chance. It is not only your men who are waging war against them, but also the subordinates!” She replied in an angry tone as her eyes shone with a bloody glow and her golden aura rose above her.

‘What is this intimidating aura?!! She is really worthy of being the queen of this powerful race!’ Thought Tugra and the king of the Kelspies with sweat pearls sparkling from their foreheads in front of the queen’s overwhelming aura.

“AHEM, in this case, do you want us to let our men be massacred?” Asked Tugra stuttering.

“Tsk, your stupidity still surprised me!”

“Wh…

“We must join the battle. Even if it was not planned from the beginning, it is the only solution left to us.” She continued while calming down and removing the pressure that emanated from her.

“I know it’s not the right thing to do, but it’s the only chance we have to reverse the situation.”

Just after proposing this suggestion, the door of the room was knocked on by a messenger.

“Entry.” She ordered.

Afterward, an old vampire in red armor entered the room. He had his fangs slightly exposed above his lower lips and a barber on his chin. “Your Highness, I bring the news of the battlefield of the third front line.” He says while kneeling in front of Liliana.

“Speak, the second counselor.” She ordered in a monotonous tone that could not hide her frustration.

The reason is that for two days, messengers have only brought bad news. The first two front lines had experienced one-way massacres and now, at the time she had just made her decision, the second counselor himself reports news of the third line of defense that was also the last border between magic beasts and the continent. If by misfortune magical beasts cross this guard line, the entire continent will sink into an uncontrollable bloody scourge.

“It seems that we have received external help to contain the invasion of magic beasts. They alone managed to kill the hundreds of magical beasts and also their strategist commander!” He announced the news in an excited and relieved tone.

“What?! External aid? Did our ancestors finally answer our prayers? How many are their armies? Who are they?” The king of the Kelspies could not contain his joy in the face of the sudden news.

“Wait for a second, King of the Kelspies.” Liliana frowned when she heard the news. Unlike Tugra and the King of the Kelspies who breathed a sigh of relief, she was not as enthusiastic. According to the words and dubious expression of the second counselor, not everything seemed rosy in his words. “Start by answering the last two questions of the King of Kelspies.” She ordered in a placid tone by listening carefully to the following sentences of her subordinate.

Seeing the doubts in his queen’s eyes, the counselor cleared one’s his throat and spoke in a serious tone. “It is not an army, but two unknown people who do not seem to belong to our world. And it seems that they are the guests of the King of the Kelspies who mysteriously disappeared four weeks ago.” He affirmed looking at the king of the Kelspies who had his eyes widened when he heard the words of the counselor.

“Two mysterious people? Hoho~ our ancestors really didn’t abandon us!” A soothing feeling invades his heart and relaxes him instantly when he heard the rest of the words.

“Don’t tell me they are…?!”

“Yes~ it’s necessarily them. If not, how will you explain such a feat? Only they are capable of it.” He replied by cutting the words of Tugra who swallowed with terror thinking of the grudge Alvine had towards him.𝑂𝗏𝑙𝒩xt.𝗰𝞸𝑚

“Can you enlighten me a little, king of the Kelspies?” Asked the queen of the Vampires in a placid and suspicious tone.

“Oh? This is a human and her magical beast that the third Elder had accidentally invoked during the invocation ritual for my children. I had reached an agreement with them but unfortunately, for unknown reasons, they withdrew to a portal and since then, they have never appeared until now. Sigh, I thought they weren’t going to come back and continue their journeys, but apparently it seems that they never leave an unpaid debt.” He explained with a sigh of relief.

“Hmm? I had not heard anything like this from my subordinate.” She continued to insist while keeping her frown.

“Well, maybe he found it useless. Since they had not lasted more than two days on our kingdom.” The king of the Kelspies continued to convince her not to be suspected of him as a traitor or anything similar.

“Very well, then where are this human and his beast?” Liliana asked her advisor. The more praise she heard about these human beings, the more curious she became to know who they were.

“Well, only his beast is with us, He hasn’t mounted himself since he finished his battle against the horde of beasts .” The second counselor said, lowering his head. He knew that this news would not please his queen, but he had no other alternative to better reformulate his sentence.

“Disappeared? Does he believe that we do not deserve his presence?” She said these words between her clenched teeth while she hit the table with her hand.

“Euh… I think it’s because he was wounded in the battle. So… So, he tries to recover before coming to meet you, Your Highness.” Of course, he was caught off guard by suddenly seeing the queen suddenly get angry.

“Sigh, I suppose we must be satisfied with this explanation, at least for now. In short, if his contracted beast is there then enter with her. I have a few questions for her.” She ordered by staring at the king of the Kelspies with her gaze who cautiously nodded with relief.

Knowing the arrogant attitude of these two beings, the more they do not meet, the better! After all, Alvine had almost killed the king of the Elves if his contracted beast had not intervened to arrest him. As for this queen who believes herself above everyone, she will not tolerate one being arrogant in front of her. Fortunately, he will be able to converse and negotiate with Lady Dylvia who seems more open to discussion than Dalvine who is ruthless against the people like Liliana.

“It will be done according to your desires, your Highness.” He bowed in front of her before rushing out into the meeting room.

After about thirty seconds, Sylvia entered the room alone with a placid air and stopped in front of them without making a royal salutation.

“Lady Dylvia, it’s a pleasure to meet you again. What has happened to your master since the last time? Is he doing well?” The King of the Kelspies welcomed him with a smile that went from one ear to the other.

He was the only person who showed sympathy for her. Tugra had an absent look that could not hide his nervousness. He feared that Alvine could not emerge from anywhere and try to kill him again. But unlike him, the queen of vampires had a dark look when she saw Sylvia’s bold behavior when she entered the room where the kings who were masters of the planet are gathered but she made no effort to kneel in front of them and greeted them as the others kings. It was a lack of respect for her.

“Thank you for your concerns, dear King of the Kelspies, but do not worry about him, as long as I am with him, no being will be able to threaten his life. In short, we had some problems last time so I hope that similar cases will not happen also, once again.” She said while looking at Liliana who let out her aura as if she wanted to intimidate him.

“I find you really arrogant, little beast. The last thing you need to do would be to respectfully greet those who have higher status and strength than yours. Don’t let your little victory rise to your head, otherwise, you will risk losing your life without realizing it.” She says with a mischievous smile.

“Hmm? Sigh, In short, how do you plan to win the war? If you don’t mind, it would be wiser to let me take the strategic lead in order to avoid another unfortunate event like what happened not so long ago.” She says while ignoring Liliana Bloodclaw’s unnecessary threats. Obviously, she was too lazy to quarrel with someone other than her master. Because she always tends to lose control of her emotions and always ends up killing those who bored her.
