Chapter 122 - One-Hundred-Eleven (1/2)
Before that wild Leonel could munch this devil to pieces I think better to interfere, so I go back to the subject at hand as if nothing has ever happened.
Yeah… let just ignore that from now… because I'm sure it might as well go back later to bite me in the ass; Especially for how bold Leonel seemed to be after we got separated for some time… and how I'm starting to reciproce such advances too.
”Yeah, I know what a succubus is but not on details, your kind feeds off of s.e.x.u.a.l desire right?” I ask, not liking that this conversation is turning towards that type of subject again.
If it had ever left that kind of mindset to begin with… as if seeing Leonel had turned a switch on and stucked it there, making my heart beat a little faster than usual by merely being close to him.
”Succubus for female, incubus for male, though we can transcend that… gender issue.” The demon continues explaining. ”How do you know what a succubus is? You haven't had any close experience with my kind now did you?” She asks with a mischievous look in her face that made her eyes shine, raising her eyebrows twice quickly.
Actually I dressed up as an incubus once in a Hallowen party, way back when I was still human, but of course I could not say that because beyond having to explain a lot of weird facts… well, let just say it wasn't the most prideful moment of my life.
What the hell was I thinking of, dressing up like that? Teenagers, sigh… but never mind that, never mind!Let's bury it deep down and totally repress it, yeah right!
Let just leave it at that ok? Ok.
”Can we just focus on the task at hand? What were you saying again?”
”Right…” She says, smelling something that was worth digging but not probing any further, however my ambiguous answer makes Leo narrow his eyes on the side and raise one eyebrow.
And that's never a good combination.
We stay quiet for a little, both looking at me as if waiting for my questions to come, but they were so many that it was hard to choose which one I should begin with.
So first and foremost I decided to ask some important trustworthy related questions.
”So, Helraya…”
”Please, call me Hel.” She says, all flirty, but one glance to the side and a pair of cold eyes makes her lay back down and add shyly an: ”S-sir.”
Let just ignore these two full of testosterone bulls and focus on the important information.
”Why are you here? Why did you betray your kind, your King?” Why should we trust you? Was the true question I'm asking here, and when I say the last words I can see her playful manner drop for the first time, substituted by a scorn and a sneer, pure disgust and hate on her eyes.
Seems like some Demon King is not as popular as he thinks uhm…
”Do you know why demons and magical creatures do not have a proper country or civilization like the humans and elves, Terror of mine?” She says, crossing her arms at the front and making me realize that her bat wings had twisted forward and blended in front of her, becoming a red-scaled cloth that hid her boson once Hel changed form. ”Because is in our nature to not tamable, to not bow down, we are forced to do so by creatures stronger than us. It is rare to see loyalty among our kin, because most are forced to serve. You know very well what I'm talking about…As the same applies to magical creatures.” Of course I did, how many have I freed from such destiny?
”Cain…” She says, as if his name tasted bad in her mouth. ”Is a Demon King and, by definition, uses force to subdued others. Any army, any fight for his kind, is just an excuse to have him in power, with power. But he is dangerous, much more than his predecessors, and I'm sure you know why…”
