King of succubus

441 Reha’s apartment in the Vampires district.

After Alvine and Elena leave, Rendy looks at her sister. “Are you all right?”

“…That’s not the right question, sis.” She mutters while watching Alvine’s portal gradually shrink a few meters from them with complex eyes.

Knowing very well what her sister meant by that, Rendy nods her head. “You’re right; but even if the Queen had designated me as host, I can’t make this decision without…-

“Rendy, what decision are you talking about exactly?” Cindy frowns while growling between her tight teeth.

Rendy’s eyes undulate slightly when she sees her sister interrupt her.

“… It’s problematic. But I still have to warn her of the clumsy situation. Like an idiot, I fell into his trap without even realizing it.”

“…” Cindy looks at her briefly, just as unable to know how to deal with the situation.

After this silence, she finally expresses herself. “Anyway, what is done is done, we can’t back the way and act as if nothing had happened. In addition, I doubt that he–

“I know, I know, dear sister.” Rendy interrupts her while waving her hand in front of her face.

She then continued. “It’s either being under his command or breaking all ties with him and confronting each other on the battlefields. And now that he knows that we can kill, he will not leave us away of warfields if we ever enter under his… orders.” Her voice was more downward as she explained herself.

Cindy could not refute her words.

“Since they will confront each other with these bastards who killed most of our fellow Crystaluses beings, I think we can no longer be kept away. On the one hand, Nelpheim does not know that we can kill, on the other hand, there is this arrogant guy who thinks that the world is spinning in his palm.

-Seen from this angle, neither of these two sides suits us. But since we are involved, this war is also ours; not only for us but for all our fellow Crystaluse beings who were killed by them. This situation is really delicate.” Cindy explains while storing her daggers in her ring.

“…Sigh, I will first inform the queen of the situation; then we will act according to her orders. She must be aware of the fact that this guy can use his magical energy despite our skill. This fact is more important than all the remains!” Rendy finally announces her verdict while placing her fingers on the emerald green crystal on her chest.

—

The throne room, …only occupied by two people; namely Elena and Alvine in person,

“Master, why did you let these two go!?” Elena asks in a growling voice.

Alvine was not sitting on the throne, but standing in the middle of the great room while drawing pentagramic runes on the ground.

When Elena’s voice reached his ear, he responded without interrupting his activities.

“Wrong, Elena. It’s obvious that I did not do this out of pure goodness of heart; even they understood it.”

Despite Alvine’s assertions, Elena did not seem to be surprised. “I know that. But what I don’t understand is why you gave them the choice.

-They lost!

-I could very well have taken care of them to force them to be obedient, as we had done with Heepha, who was the most rebellious at the time.” She says, still dissatisfied with Alvine’s decision.

“No, you don’t understand anything!” By dint of seeing her persist, Alvine finally stops and scolds her for the first time.

“…”

Seeing her shut up, Alvine sighs heavily to get rid of her sudden anger.

He then walked towards Elena and held her by her two shoulders. “Listen carefully to me, Elena; because I won’t repeat myself anymore. I need these three. But the method you intend to use with them may not work. As long as there is a small percentage of failure in my plans, I prefer to abandon and review my strategy as a whole.

-First, you never wondered why they came to offer us an alliance. Secondly, this woman, who’s their leader probably knew that I was going to refuse her alliance offer.

-But why did they come to us despite all that? That’s the question you must ask yourself in the first place instead of talking about my strategy.” Throughout his explanations, Alvine did not blink his eyes, which were immersed in Elena’s.

Hearing Alvine’s words, Elena reminded him. “But my lord, you forget a little detail, the queen is controlled by…-!!

She suddenly stops when she sees the disappointment in Alvine’s eyes. “Stop wasting my time explaining to you things that are so simple to understand!” Alvine shrieks at her with dissatisfaction.

“How many times do I have to repeat it to myself for you to understand!? This woman is a Crystalus, her body is out of any magical influence. If it was so easy to control her, do you think I’d waste my time digging my head?

-Being one of these beings means more than you think. From what I could see, this girl named Cindy is the weakest of the three. However, she has managed to push you to use 70% of your power despite being an intermediate primordial.

-You are a superior primordial, but you have used 70% of your power against it to be able to defeat it in such a long time (-15 sec)!

-Imagine what will happen if you face Azalea? Your victory will not even be assured. She must at least be as powerful as you without using her arcane.

-Now, do you believe that such a person will easily be subjected to a mental control spell cast by a magus more weak than Askald?”

“…No, I don’t think so.”

“Right. Now that you understand this fact, think about it, although she’s beyond any influence, why is she pretending?” Alvine asks again to his previous question.

Unlike before, Elena found nothing wrong with it except to admit her defeat.

“Finally, let’s forget these two, they will come back anyway.” He said, walking towards his unfinished work.

“Lord, I know you’re busy, but I still have one last question…-

“No, it will wait; as you said, I can’t be busy anymore.” Alvine interrupts him without courtesy.

“Rather come and give me a hand.”

With a silly look, Elena takes a peek at what Alvine was doing from the beginning.

But she immediately raised her eyebrows when she saw the black runes engraved in black on the black slabs. Without the help of her perception, she could not see clearly, but as she looked more closely, her picky look became serious. 𝓞𝒱𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t

‘He plans to do this when he doesn’t have enough energy to… sigh, I guess that’s why he asks me for a hand.’ She mutters in her mind before joining Alvine in the middle of the runic formation that spread throughout the room.

As for the latter, he continued without question; seeing that Elena had understood his objective.

‘After witnessing such a battle, I realize that I must do everything possible to reach my former power as quickly as possible.’ As he frowns because of his imperceptible concentration, he reaches out and manifests five small black spheres above his palm.

Looking more closely, anyone could see the true nature of the five spheres the size of golf balls; the five planets created by Isolet with the effigy of the original planet.

Meanwhile, Elena stood behind him, placing her two palms on his shoulder blades before pouring him as much energy as Alvine would need to refine the five spheres.

The process was slow but progressive.

…

.

While time passed slowly in the throne room, Assi had arrived at her destination.

Current location,

Vampire District, level three; the highest level in the upper district where the most powerful vampires reside.

Since she had a special status, she did not need a permit to go wherever she wanted.

Even if the neighborhood was nicknamed the vampire district, it was not only home to vampires.

Its name is due in part because of its popularity with vampires.

The other areas were dark, but not darker than this neighborhood, which is largely hidden by the shadow of the Royal Palace.

She walked straight into the clean and slightly empty alley because of a factor that was not unknown to her.

Fy’s training.

Once at her destination, she finally stops in front of the door of a luxurious but ordinary house for the residents of the planet.

But unlike the other houses, this one had two shadow guards in light armor.

A girl apparently in the race of black elves with her long white hair and dark skin; Stella.

Her guard companion was also a woman, who wore a mage’s short Cape on her maiden dress but two main weapons including a magic stick and a long rapier. Her weapons alone were enough to guess that she was not just a mage.

“Lady Assi, what good wind brings you to this place?” Stella asks with a welcoming smile on her lips.

As usual, her bow was as large as one and a half of her size.

“Is she inside?” Assi asks after giving her back her smile with another.

Stella nods her head. “Yea, …she has just finished her training session with one of the clones of Monarch Fy.”

“Can I meet her?”

“Of course, you don’t need our permission for that.” Stella was initially confused at first. But she was able to catch up by guessing that Assi was just trying to be polite with them.

She then looks at her on-call colleague. “Eris, stay here; I will escort our guest to Reha.”

“At your command, Lieutenant Stella,” Eris answers briefly before opening the door to allow the two to enter Reha’s apartments.

Unlike the ‘small’ appearance of the suite, the interior looked more like a castle as large as the one Alvine resided in when he was on Alzania.

with a sigh.

11:25

“Huh? What is the relationship?” Assi knew that she was not talking about the house but about the This was not a privilege granted to Reha, but all the buildings in this district had the same characteristics.

To prevent his subjects from feeling cramped, Alvine had ordered one of his generals to redevelop the buildings so that they were large, without occupying more space.

An unrealistic request but guaranteed by Shadow, who had the brilliant idea of creating an independent space inside each house.

After going through the entrance door, Assi immediately understood the characteristics of the house. But she didn’t have time to linger on it when she saw four people having tea together while chatting like old friends.

Zenof, the former librarian of the Punishers, Freyja, Reha’s head general, Randolph, and Sabrina.

This view left her speechless.

As that was not enough, Reha was talking with the other gangs, who wanted to sacrifice the Punishers and Leaders on the other side of the kitchen.

“No, Your Highness, we cannot accept this. How can we let you cook when we are your..-

“Your words comfort me, Corrupt, but you only know how to prepare poisons; unless your goal is to kill me?” Reha interrupts her second general, who wants to snatch her kitchen knife.

“Ugh! You are not going to die of a simple poison; it is the intention that counts, my queen.”

“Abandon, Corrupt, I want to see how skillful our lady is with a…-

“It’s blasphemy, Aither!” Corrupt roars towards the man in white, who is standing away from others like an Outsider.

“Blasphemy, you say? Wouldn’t you like to taste the cuisine made by the queen in person?” Aither asks with a little sneaky smile on his lips.

Corrupt’s three eyes became wide as he thought deeply about the meanings of Aither’s words. But despite the temptation, he immediately shakes his head. “Stop trying to play my role, it’s me to corrupt people’s hearts, not the other way around!”

“~~~

“~~~?

…

As she saw this scene, Assi seemed to have forgotten her starting goal.

“What are they… doing?” She mutters as if she were thinking out loud.

“Well, this place has become lively because of the presence of Reha,” Stella answers nonchalantly with a sigh.

“Huh? What is the relationship?” Assi knew that she was not talking about the house but about the entire district.

Stella crosses her arms before explaining. “She is the creator of 90% of the beings who live in this city, it is quite normal that everyone wants to meet the person who’s their creator. General Shadow put us here to prevent anyone from coming to disturb her.” She said, talking about Iris and her.

“…I see, so that’s why you are in front of her house to stand guard.” She says before approaching others.
