.....
Two days had passed since the declaration of war on the Horned Lizard tribe.
Aengus was still waiting for the materials he had requested from the duke's court, knowing that only then could he set his plan into motion.
During these two days, Aengus took the opportunity to familiarize himself with the barony and its territory. The citizens, though initially wary, welcomed him as per the duke's orders. They were common demons, with no rights to object to his presence, especially since Aengus had assured them that they would not have to pay any additional taxes.
As he was deep in thought, strategizing his next move, Donna, his maid and caretaker, approached him. Donna was a blue-skinned demoness from the Ice Frigga species. Despite her humble position, she bore noble blood, albeit partially, which granted her some black ice abilities of a Lesser Demon rank.
"Lord, please have something to eat. I have made it myself," Donna said, her voice gentle yet filled with a quiet strength.
Aengus looked up at her, momentarily breaking away from his thoughts. He nodded appreciatively, acknowledging the effort she had put into preparing the meal.
The meal contained, some demonic creatures meat, which was indigestible for humans but not for Aengus.
In the Demon Land, where delicacies were rare and costly, Aengus finished his meal after studying the maps of nearby territories. His supply of demon cores had been entirely depleted, and he urgently needed them to grow stronger. The best way to obtain more was by hunting wild demonic creatures or defeating opposing forces.
As he pondered this problem, Succubus Bella, ever seductive and dangerously beautiful, glided into the room, holding a box with an expensive appearance.
"Sweetheart, your parcel is here!" Bella called out with a sultry tone, her eyes locking onto Aengus as he sat at the dining table.
"Ohh..." Aengus murmured, standing up to take the box, his curiosity piqued by her alluring presence.
"Master, the Hex poison in your body has been neutralized by your new skill: Blazing Purge (D) passive," MANAS, his internal AI, reported.
Blazing Purge, a passive defensive skill, combined Blaze Guard and Fire Serpent's Digestion to neutralize the Hex poison within him. It also provided increased fire resistance.
"Understood," Aengus responded internally.
From the start, he knew Bella wouldn't trust him completely. She had been trying to feed him Hex poison, a tool to control him if he ever considered rebelling by Donna's (his maid) hand.
But she didn't know he had a super-intelligent AI and system powers at his disposal. So all of her plans failed badly.
Despite her enchanting exterior, Bella's schemes ran deep. She had even manipulated Donna into helping her, or perhaps Donna had willingly participated, driven by greed.
Aengus bowed slightly, extending his hand to take the box, but Bella smirked and playfully pulled it away, her eyes glinting with mischief.
"Ah, not so fast, sweetheart. Give me a kiss first," she teased playfully, her voice dripping with temptation as she licked her bright crimson lips, full and inviting.
Aengus, deciding it was time to teach her a lesson, closed the distance between them in an instant. As Bella opened her mouth to laugh, he caught her off guard, pulling her close and pressing his lips firmly against hers.
The room seemed to grow warmer as Aengus deepened the kiss, his hand tangling in Bella's hair while the other cupped her face, holding her steady. Bella's initial surprise quickly melted into a sensual surrender, her charming purple eyes fluttering shut as she responded, her body molding against his.
His tongue slid past her lips, exploring the sweet and salty taste of her mouth, sending shivers through her body. Bella's breath hitched, and she couldn't help but lose herself in the intoxicating mix of power and desire that Aengus exuded. Her own tongue met his in a heated dance, her hands clinging to him as she gave in to the rising wave of lust that clouded her thoughts.
For a moment, Bella considered using her ability to drain his life force, the power flickering at her fingertips. But the thought quickly dissipated as she realized it would be a waste. Besides, she enjoyed this far too much to ruin it. Aengus, too, was confident she wouldn't dare risk her ambitions just for a fleeting moment of dominance.
Maid Donna, who had been watching from the doorway, felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment. It was the first time she'd seen Lady Bella kiss anyone, and with such unbridled passion. Quickly sensing the growing heat in the room and catching a glimpse of Bella's sharp gaze, Donna hastily left, not wanting to be caught in her mistress's bad graces.
The air in the room grew thick with the scent of their mingled desire, the tension palpable as their lips moved together with increasing intensity. The sensation of Bella's supple body pressing against his only fueled Aengus further, yet he knew when to stop, releasing her with a final, lingering kiss.
When Bella finally pulled away, her lips were swollen and red, her breath coming in short gasps. Her face flushed a deep shade of crimson, and the heat of their encounter lingered in the air, making it almost suffocating.
Aengus smirked, pleased with the effect he had on her. He had wanted to teach her a lesson, and by the look of her now, he had succeeded.
"Wow, sweetheart. That was... bold," Bella finally managed to say, her voice a bit shaky but laced with amusement. "You've become so strong in such a short time. Keep it up, and you'll earn more kisses like that from me." Her words carried a promise, but also a hint of something more—something dangerous.
With that, Bella turned on her heel, swaying her hips slightly more than usual as she made her way to the door, her body still radiating heat from their encounter. She paused for a moment, glancing back at him, her eyes smoldering with an unreadable expression.
Aengus watched her go, his expression indifferent, though his blood was still racing from the intense exchange. As she left the room, he muttered to himself, "I will," a subtle promise that echoed in the silence she left behind.
