Chapter 174 - Not A Demon, A Wind Blade Demon
"No, but he did almost end Neft, and Dao told him to stop, but no matter how much he tries to deny it, Mex is still a full-blooded Demon. What Neft did to me wasn't wrong in my people's eyes, and I accepted it for what it was, assuming I was going to just die after. Yet, I had never seen such a rage take him over. If you are going to fight Dao, you will see the crater on the far northeastern coast about a mile from Doa's Castle," Hanna told me, and getting tired of holding my arm up, I rolled over beside her and took Hanna in my arms.
I was wasting time, but each little thing that I learned now would help me out in the future. In order to win, I was going to need every advantage and toss my old qualms for power to the wind.
I hadn't really thought about taking over Mex's position as the Demon Lord, and if I couldn't protect my people, one of them might end up like Hanna. I had the responsibilities to all the people in my care, and now all the Demon women were pregnant, but what of the rest?
"If I kill Neft, what will happen to the rest of the Demons?" I asked, not sure how it worked.
"You will need to kill Dao because while Neft has control of us, Doa is the one that owns us," Hanna explained.
"Okay, so then Mex tried to do that, or what was his plan? I mean, I know you probably don't know, but I am trying to make sense of this because this just doesn't sound like Mex," I said with confusion as I scrubbed a hand on my forehead.
"I don't think he was thinking at the time; he just snapped. You know that he considers everyone under his care as his children, right? When we were on Gardania, he was known as the Broken Lord. Laughed at by all, but always laughing with them no matter the insult. There has never been another demon like him," Hanna said, and then cuddled into my chest and then kissed one of my pecs.
Then her eyes went big with surprise, and then Hanna put the fingers of her free hand on her lips in confusion. I thought that it was cute, and I didn't really understand why she looked so surprised and confused.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Why did I do that?" Hanna asked absentmindedly as she continued to finger her lips.
"Do what? Kiss my chest?" I asked, now sharing in the confusion, and then asked, "Why is that strange?"
"Because it's stupid, I don't like doing it! No Demon woman would kiss a man by choice!" Hanna declared, and I nodded while giving a "That's fair" Expression as I did.
"I guess, but I'm not a demon, so that can be your excuse, right? I mean, you also didn't seem to mind before when we kissed," I asked, not sure what else to say.
"No! I… I… what? Wait! No… what? Why?" Hanna asked, looking like smoke was about to come out of her ears as I watched the gears in her head try to reason out my words.
I pulled Hanna close to me in my arms and then leaned down to kiss and silence her. I also ensured that it was an affectionate kiss that ended with a trail of kisses from her lips to her ear lobe, which I nipped.
"Maybe you have been doing it with the wrong person? Was that really that bad?" I asked Hanna in a low and seductive voice.
"Who are you?" was all Hanna could utter as she breathed heavily, and I grinned.
"Let's talk about that later; for now, finish the story about when you went back to see Mex," I said and then kissed her forehead; I needed to get going.
"Not much left to say, Mex won't be able to remember that he fought them to save me. He will just know that he was nearly killed for defying Doa after attacking Neft," Hanna explained, but then asked me," What do you mean, take care of me? Are you doing the same for Lidy, and why would you ask me if you could take care of me? Shouldn't I be begging for you-"
I cut her words off again with another kiss that was more passionate than the last. I found myself getting pulled into the kiss, and my hands started to explore her body, but I had to stop myself before I wasted any more time.
I would have plenty of time while we were on the boat, and I had done what I came to do, so all that was left was accepting Hanna as one of my girls.
"Yes, Lidy is one of my helpers, but she is much more than that to me, and she will be one of my girls soon. There is no need to beg me, I want you to come with me so I can take you away from this constant reminder of a life that is no longer your own," I said, and just like that, Hanna burst with light under the covers of her bed, but there was no level up for me, but I did notice something.
{Hanna}
Level: 2
Title: N/A
Species: Wind Blade Demon, Class 3F
Unique Ability: Air condensing and manipulating Magic *Requires Positive Emotional State.
Class: N/A
The light cleared, but nothing had changed physically, but I read on her small card that Hanna was a Wind Blade Demon that was Classless. I wasn't sure what that meant, but I quickly pulled up Nushi's chart to check something.
Yeah, they both had a magical ability that was controlled with emotions, but she was already level two. I guess that meant that she had a bit of experience using her skills, but I was curious how it worked, though it would have to wait till a later point.
