Chapter 104: Can you live and adventure with those thoughts?
Leon and his party found a good spot to rest.
Even though their slow life had been halted, Leon was still a human. He needed a break. His weak mind also severely impacted that choice. Thus, everyone descended into a clearing in the forest and prepared for the night.
Leon took a stump and sat down, with his thoughts heavily pulling his eyes down. Alexandra tended to her maid duties and took out spare tents and sleeping bags for her master and mistress. Celes kept her feelings in check and went to prepare crystal-clear drinking water.
"Here, Master…" The vampiress returned as fast as possible, holding two cups of drinking water. "I did a few alchemy tricks. If you fall in love with that taste, I'll prepare it every morning for you."
Her smile brought warmth to Leon's heart. He took a cup and drank it in one go, relishing the taste of cool water going down his throat.
He put the empty cup into his inventory, then made room for Celes to sit next to him. "You can already think of a machine to prepare such water."
"Machine?" Celes smiled and leaned on her master's shoulder, holding his arm tightly. "Whatever it is, I don't mind trying it out."
Leon faintly smiled. A lot had happened ever since Celes brought him back to life. Even more occurred because of the succubi and human forces lurking in the forest to catch the unicorn… Leon received more questions and saw the world from a different perspective — it was something Alexandra ought to do…
Celes also wanted to talk and bond with her master, for their connection had been cut. However, as she held onto him, the vampiress felt herself bound to her master more than ever… It was much better than her simply devouring his flesh before the battle against the succubi.
"I ate the succubuss' neck." Leon surprised Celes and made her gorgeous face lit up. "It was delicious, I'd say…."
Celes clenched his shirt and muttered in a disappointed and irked tone… "And I didn't see master's face…."
"You know, I haven't seen your face while munching on someone's flesh, too. It's fair, right?" Leon patted her back and made his vampiress blush like never before, which was oddly suspicious.
But Celes quickly covered it by acting like herself. In his arms, she became herself, the usual lazy vampiress that went against her nature and occupation. She purred that Leon would love to see her relishing his flesh, not indicating what part of his body she meant.
Leon didn't doubt that. His vampiress ended up returning to his side, and it didn't even take a day… Both of them had first struggles in their relationship and overcame them, so things were on a good track. If Leon really went for a harem, he wanted to ensure that everyone would be fine with each other, with him being the most comfortable with every girl.
Therefore, cuddling was the activity Leon and Celes looked for the most now.
Leon took her onto his lap and continued their conversation in a much better mood. "I received a good skill to track others… If I combine that with your tracking skills, I don't think anyone will ever escape us. When you were gone, I had to coordinate with humans… It wasn't that bad, but on the back of my head, I always had the thought that it'd be much easier with you next to me…."
Celes' heart fluttered as she received praise and new information about her master's progress. He had become much closer to her race, received the majestic wings, and kept mentioning the lack of her presence. It turned Celes' insides sweet as she had been quite worried about her relationship with him.
"Don't take the lead, Master… I should comfort you first… No, I should apologize-" Celes shut her lips as her master extended his hand to the back of her head and ruffled her hair roughly.
Celes just closed her eyes and allowed her master to scratch her little head. At last, he messed up her hair so much that her black streaks became tangled! But beautiful girls looked pretty no matter what clothes and hairstyle. Thus, as Celes revealed her dazzling red eyes, Leon saw her in a different light and charm.
"Apologize? To begin with, I shouldn't be talking about myself… But I still want you to know that I missed your presence, not just because of those skills… And because of you, I continued to move forward, Celes. Know that… And now, tell me what you've found out about your sisters."
It took a while for Celes to speak, for she kept her eyes on her master's face. With her feelings pulling on her heart, Celes wanted to cross the line and take his lips, shove her hand into his pants, and do more… But she knew that it was not a moment for that and that Leon was concerned about what she had found out.
He revealed that the succubi's minds had been locked, and even his power couldn't see through them.
Celes draped over her master with her softness, wrapping her arms around his neck, and blew her hot breath straight to his ear. "I haven't had time to tell you about it, Master… But succubi were a part of The Human Emperor's army. I knew that it wouldn't be so easy to get information from them and wanted to confirm one thing — whether The Human Emperor's Queen and The Succubus Queen looking out for the unicorn are the same.
"I confirmed that… Irene Crownedge is alive. She was looking out for the unicorn. With this knowledge, I feel like our paths with her will cross at least a few times more… and I'll find clues to my sisters in our every encounter with her… I'm not stupid to alone join their ranks, Master…." Celes purred those last words and turned Leon's ear so red she saved that image in her memory.
Leon nodded, holding tightly onto her soft curves. "We don't know her level… But she can easily sacrifice one hundred level succubi and make moves in foreign kingdoms… And that black pillar… Can you live and adventure with me with those thoughts?"
