King of succubus

Chapter 159 Another Strange Quest.



...

"Very well, I'll tell you what you owe us. Patience is apparently not your cup of tea." She resumed her solemn expression after satisfying her ego.

"You see, our race was one of the most powerful races that dominated the entire universe. Our ancestors had in their possession several Tier 3 planets, a few dozen Tier 2 planets, and had intermediate divine rank cultivators as bodyguards. At that time, to be a counselor, it was necessary to reach the advanced divine rank. As for being queen or king, you had to be at the top of divine rank or more than that. It was a glorious time for our ancestors and for our race, wasn't it?" She began the explanations with this brief introduction that left Alvine in a state of unexpected perplexity.

The reason was that Sylvia had already said in the past that vampires were fighting with them under their orders at a time when war was raging between the Leaders against the Punishers, but he had never expected the vampire race to be so powerful. 'Divine Magi at the top? And others who exceeded this rank? What is the rank above an advanced divine mage? Primordial rank? No, it's impossible for someone to reach this level. According to Sabrina's explanations, only those who had been specially created by the flower for this purpose could reach the primordial rank.' He stammered in his thoughts.

Seeing that she had all the attention of her interlocutor, she continued her explanation. "But in your opinion, why did we find ourselves in such a pitiful state after experiencing such a glorious era? The answer is simple, it is because we found ourselves involved in a war that surpassed us and exceeded all the other ordinary beings such as us. It was probably not a bad decision or a decision that our ancestors will regret even if time reverses. But the reason for our frustration and the decline of our race is linked because of the agreements that have not been honored by those you consider your family."

"They promised us the wealth, glory, and the same power they possessed if we accept their proposals. But instead of all these beautiful promises, which could guess that what awaited us was not these things, but worse than what they had promised us: forfeiture, extermination, and eternal flight! After this war, not only had we lost the 99.9‰ of our peoples but also all our stories, our riches, our ambitions, and also, we are forced to hide forever to preserve the latest hundreds of members of our races."

"Do you now understand what it means to have to repay such a debt? Wanting it is certainly one thing but repaying it is also another." She ended her little speech with these words that could not hide the bitterness in the tone of her melodious voice.

Alvine remained silent to the point that his breathing became imperceptible after hearing Liliana's revelation. 'I knew they owed them a lot for their help, but I would never have believed that these idiots had made such promises to them!' What he feared most was finally realized before his eyes. In reality, apart from his principles, nothing required him to honor this debt. But it was precisely because of this same principle that he swore about his life and that of his loved ones to honor it whatever it costs him.

What worried him at the moment was not how to find the right words to withdraw from this debt that seemed impossible to honor, but rather how to make sure to honor it.

Seeing him silent, Liliana continued: "The lives of more than a billion vampires who fell in battle to defend the interests of your allies no, what am I even saying? The interests of your allies are also your interests. So I should rather say that it was to defend your interests in exchange for honoring the promises you made to us. Dying in battle is one of the risks that come with the agreement, so you are in no way to blame for the death and decline of my course. But if we summarize the debts you owe us, they are wealth, glory, knowledge, and finally, power."

"Sigh, is that all?" After a long moment of silence, Alvine's voice resounded in the bathroom asking her this question.

Liliana frowned when she saw Alvine so placid but, she finally ends up acquiescing despite herself with a slight nod.

Upon receiving her answer, he clic one’s tongue by cursing Sylvia once again in her thoughts before properly analyzing the delicate situation that had just rushed towards him without notice. Obviously, he knew that he no longer had the luxury of making a choice. "Do you intend to renew your wishes or do you want the same as your ancestors?" He asked after reorganizing his thoughts. Wealth was not a problem for him. Apart from his system that could exchange his sex stones/ golds with an exchange rate of 1SS/100Golds, he did not have to worry about the good things that are harvested by his maids and his own business. As for power and knowledge, he had no problem with it either. But it was the glory that made him perplexed. What kind of glory do they want? He didn't know.

"Are you ready to believe me so easily without asking me any questions?" She curiously asked the latter with a slight surprise.

"Sigh, I know that this bitch has already sold me otherwise how can you collect so much information, you who didn't even know the existence of the Leaders a few days ago?" He shrugged his shoulders by briefly giving her this answer to satisfy her curiosity.

"Well, you're smart despite the current situation. In short, I don't care much about the glory. What I want is always the same thing. You only have to replace glory by bond, you will see that my request does not differ from that of my ancestors." She answered, giving him the same answer.

"Why are you obsessed with this? In case you have not yet noticed, I ask you to properly formulate your requests to balance the balance. You do not need to be linked to me by a marriage bond to force me to honor my words. You can simply reformulate your requests without involving this strange request, by doing this, you will gain more advantages. Your peoples, yourself will not need to join the front while being free and live peacefully without obeying anyone." Alvine recommended her.

But Liliana looked at him with a dubious look as if she could not believe Alvine's words.

Seeing Liliana’s suspicion, Alvine briefly explained the cause of her generosity. "Don't look at me like that, it's for the sole purpose of paying me the debt that I owe you. I find that your request is not sufficient to repay the entire debt. Such an unpaid debt for millennia also has an interest, which is why I find it insufficient. Not to mention that by making me your lord, it certainly implies more responsibilities but also will not spare you future wars."

With her wide eyes, she looked at Alvine as if she were looking at another person. The man who fought at all costs only to have interests in the negotiation now offers more advantage to his opponent just to better pay his debt? How ruthless would he be if it were she who owed something to him? 'Miss Sylvia told me that these principles were one of his weaknesses but also his strengths. He will never spare someone who offends him, he will never be grateful to others but rather prefers to pay the debt in question. I now understand what she meant. This reason alone is enough to help me in my decisions.' She commented on her thoughts before joining Alvine in reality.

"I must admit that it's a surprise I didn't expect. But I think I'm starting to identify your personality and I also thank you for your proposal. But unfortunately, I have to refuse. Even if binding me to you is like sharing my position and giving you more power, I would like to leave some unpaid debts on your slate rather than allowing you to repay everything. As most people say: great power implies responsibilities. But I can reverse this saying with my own speculations: the more responsibilities you have, the more powers you will have. So it's win-win, don't you think?" She shook her head slightly to gently refuse Alvine's proposal.

Alvine was of course not an idiot, he instantly understood Liliana's thoughts. "Sigh, you are sometimes scarier than me about this tactic." He responded with a smile of surrender.

She squirted, finally leaving Alvine alone after getting what she wanted, and sat next to Alvine. 'But you know, you're wrong about one thing. Because unlike you who see everything objectively with interests, I refused your proposal because I want sincerely you as a husband.' She said these words to herself with a sigh of relief after ending the psychological battle that had been going on for more than thirty minutes.

"We have an agreement, don't we?" She once again asked for certainty when she saw Alvine who intended to leave the bathroom.

"Sigh, obviously we have one. So if you don't intend to change your mind, you can consider yourself a family member." He announced it with a soft and peaceful smile before closing the door behind him leaving her alone in the bathtub with her pink cheeks of embarrassment.

"I feel strangely guilty for imposing something he didn't want on him. It's like he forced his hand using a debt of which I have no merit of up." She says in a guilty tone after Alvine's exit into the bathroom.

But her guilt was only short-lived when she thought about the benefits she had just had for her people. "Finally, this is not the time to regret my decision. Only the future will tell me if it is yes no a good decision. I can always use the other favor I have left with him to repair my mistake if my decision is one." She continued by self-motivating before lying in the bathtub with a subtle sigh that carried a hint of excitement and impatience.

Unlike her who seemed carefree, Alvine had a completely different problem with his system, which had forced him to leave the bath to better check the abnormal mission he had just received from his system.

|Thanks to your actions and your decision, you have just launched a sudden mission. |

|Marry the queen of vampires. |

|Reward: ?? |

|New title acquired: the sovereign of vampires. |

|Your blood control evolved to noble rank. |

|You have acquired the ultimate authority of the first vampire ruler. |

|Marry the Queen to learn more about this authority and to evolve your blood skill to the sovereign rank. |

What's that still? Rewards granted to the system? Sigh, what am I thinking about? It is surely a privilege that comes with the title of the vampire sovereign. The system is not as charitable for that.' He immediately concludes with a touch of curiosity implanted in his brain while he is dressing.

"Great responsibilities come with their rewards, don't they? I must admit that she was not wrong in reversing this saying." He continues while thinking of Liliana's previous words.
