"You seem alone, should I accompany you?"
"There is a reason I am sitting here alone, your Majesty."
Allura, who was sitting in the Royal Garden with a bored look on her face replied without even looking at Ricardus, who had taken the initiative to start the conversation.
This was something Ricardus had never done and not only the Ministers and people around Ricardus, even Allura, who knew the future, was surprised by this.
Ricardus never had to chase after a woman after all.
All he needed to do was to order the woman and she most likely gave in. If she didn't, Ricardus just had to talk with her family and the next moment, the woman would be his.
It was just that simple.
However, this couldn't be used against Allura.
Threatening her family was enough, they were merely Earls, after all. However, Allura was supported by someone Ricardus couldn't even dream of going against.
And since threatening her didn't work, Allura's situation became similar to Arvina, the other woman supported by Astaria.
Therefore, Allura expected a similar treatment of being ignored by Ricardus.
Yes, once Ricardus realized he couldn't force Arvina, he just gave up and didn't even try to get close to her. He never lacked beautiful women, after all. There were many flowers to pick, why would he waste his time on a single one?
That was his theory.
However, for some reason, when it came to Allura, Ricardus didn't give up.
He tried approaching Allura using various methods, however, Allura rejected him every time he made a move.
"You are always alone, Allura.
Why not try spending some time with others?"
Ricardus, however, didn't give in and continued his pursuit.
This time, Allura finally glanced at Ricardus, and with a cold look on her face, she replied,
"Your Majesty, we both know what you want and similarly, we both know what my answer is.
So rather than constantly bothering me, I suggest you leave me alone and go collect other 'flowers'."
Hearing her cold words, Ricardus wasn't offended, rather,
"Hehe~
This is the reason I want you, Allura."
A smile appeared on his face, he scanned Allura's entire body, then, he looked at her face, and with his eyes shining, he started,
"Your fierce eyes as you look at me with hatred combined with this alluring body of yours,
It gives off a hypnotic charm I just can't get away from no matter how hard I try.
And since I cannot use power to get you,
It makes me want to have you all for myself even more.
And trust me, Allura.
No matter how hard you try to resist, in the end, you will be mine.
I am looking forward to the expression that will appear on this beautiful face of yours when you are finally under me in my bed."
Saying those words, Ricardus extended his hands and seductively caressed Allura's cheeks.
Allura's eyes widened in surprise.
Ricardus was a King Stage Cultivator, he was a lot faster than her, therefore, she couldn't react to his movements at all. However, the moment she realized what this man just did, she quickly slapped his hand and jumped back.
"How dare you touch me!?"
She shouted in anger.
She was so loud that her words caused a commotion and the servants working in the garden and some guards focused on the situation.
Being the center of attention in a situation like this, Ricardus felt humiliated.
He glared at Allura and then narrowed his eyes,
"You bitch, do you even realize who you are talking to?"
"I do. A desperate man who just tried to touch me.
I am warning you first and last time, Ricardus.
Do not touch me ever again.
Or I will make you pay in ways you can never imagine."
Allura spoke as she glared at Ricardus.
Ricardus, however, wasn't someone who could allow someone to talk like that,
"Just because the Dowager supports you, you think you can talk to me like that?"
"I can."
"You think the dowager can always protect you?"
"Why don't you try it out?
I can see it in your eyes,
You are so angry that you wish to kill me, right?
Why don't you do it?
Unsheath that sword and behead me, I dare you, Ricardus."
Allura threatened, and being pushed to this level, Ricardus unsheathed his sword in rage as well.
"It was your fault, bitch."
Saying those words, Ricardus disappeared and appeared behind Allura, however, just as he was about to behead Allura,
*Clank*
His sword was blocked.
"Who dares!?"
Ricardus shouted, however, the moment his eyes fell on the person who blocked his sword, his face paled in fright.
"You have gotten bold, Ricardus."
Astaria spoke as she narrowed her eyes.
"D-D-Dowager."
Ricardus stuttered.
"You dare attack my student? Since when did you have the galls to do something like that? Or are you actually at the point where you do not fear me anymore?"
"S-S-She provoked me," Ricardus replied.
"So you are saying that you, the King of the Skyfall Kingdom, a King Stage Cultivator actually fell for a 21-year-old girl's provocation and acted recklessly?" Astaria tilted his head as she questioned.
"T-T-That…"
Ricardus had no answer.
"Are you sure you deserve to be the King?"
Astaria questioned.
"D-D-Do you have any other option?"
It took everything he had, however, in the end, Ricardus still managed to reply.
However,
"Khhaawwwkkkkk!!"
Astaria didn't like that reply at all.
The Mana around her moved and gather near her legs, then, she kicked Ricardus's abdomen, the man's body flew away and clashed with the tree, breaking it as well.
Ricardus coughed out blood.
Astaria then walked towards Ricardus, the Aura around her was so suppressive that Ricardus, who was coughing out blood, couldn't even raise his head and look into her eyes.
"I would rather have this Kingdom be ruled by an Expert or a Grand Master Stage Cultivator than have someone as easy to manipulate as you do it.
So before you talk to me like that,
Keep this in your mind,
I am not like how I was before.
You give me one more reason, and I will kill you, Ricardus Skyfall."
Astaria threatened.
Ricardus's entire body trembled in fear as he sweated buckets.
It was only after Astaria left did he finally started breathing and as he did, he fell to the ground.
The pressure Astaria released was just too much for him to bear.
A few minutes later, the members of the Shadow Unit rushed towards him and picked him up. With their support, Ricardus was taken back to his room and all the servants who watched the entire thing play out were ordered to keep their mouths shut.
The order was clear, if this incident was made known, the culprit wouldn't matter, all the servants would be beheaded.
Yes, that was how strict and cruel the Shadow Unit was, and they had full authority to do it.
…
On the other side,
Once Astaria took Allura inside her room, she questioned with a frown on her face,
"What was that, Allura?"
"Haaaahhhh!!"
Allura, on the other hand, kneeled on the ground and started taking deep breaths.
"Allura!"
Astaria called out in worry.
She crouched on the ground to pick Allura up, however, suddenly, she noticed Purple colored Horns protruding out of Allura's head, her ears elongated, her crystal blue eyes turned dark purple and a strange purple mist surrounded her body.
Seeing this, Astaria's eyes widened in surprise,
"A-Allura you…"
Allura continued to breathe heavily.
"You… what happened to your powers?"
Astaria questioned with a confused look on her face.
"A-Astaria, can you leave me alone for a while…?"
Allura spoke.
"S-Sure."
Astaria nodded and then, she walked out of her room.
Once she was left alone, Allura's expression turned serious, then, her hands moved down towards her private area, and once she touched her panty,
Her expression changed,
'This is getting troublesome…'
She thought inwardly as she observed the juices that her fingers were covered in.
Her entire body was trembling, her face had turned red, no matter how one looked at her, it was clear,
She was sexually aroused.
Masturbation wasn't working anymore…
And…
There were still 8 years before Nux was born.
And then she also had to wait for 18 years before the actual Nux takes over the fake Nux's body.
In total, there were 26 years…
Allura… who was in this condition, had to wait for 26 more years…
'I now understand why succubi jump from one man after another…'
Allura muttered to herself as she closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
She could turn back to being a human with blue eyes and normal, human-like features, however, that is just a strong illusion that she casts on herself, making others see her like that.
In truth, she had already and completely turned into a succubus, and along with Succubus's powers, she had also inherited their crazily high sex drive once she turned 18.
She was holding out quite well, however, Ricardus, who was a man, when he touched her, her sexual drive shot up to unbelievable levels.
At that moment, even if it was Ricardus, the man she absolutely loathed, her body was ready for him.
Of course, only her body was ready for him.
Her heart already belonged to someone else.
No matter how much worse it gets, Allura was sure about one thing,
She would rather die than give her first time to someone else.
Nux was the only one for her, living with a man other than Nux, that was just not possible. Succubus have high sex drive so they need to constantly change partners and cannot actually stay loyal to 1 person?
My ass!
How can you even have sex with someone you do not love?
Allura would never understand it.
While thinking about all this, her body calmed down to a certain degree as well.
She stood up, her legs were still a little weak, therefore she had to support herself with the nearby wall, however, soon, she recovered her elegance.
Her horns, long ears, and the purple color of her eyes disappeared and she returned to being Allura everyone knew.
"I am alright now."
She spoke.
Astaria then walked in and seeing the condition of her 'future' sister, Astaria sighed,
"It doesn't have to be Ricardus, you know?
There are many capable men out there."
"What? You want me to find a man? Didn't you say they were a waste of time?"
Allura chuckled.
"If it troubles you to the point where you can't keep your sanity, then using men to your own benefit isn't wrong."
Astaria replied.
"Heh, I really want the now you to meet him." Allura laughed.
"Him again huh? I have heard about 'him' so many times that now even I want to meet him." Astaria muttered.
"Sure Sure."
Allura muttered, then, her expression turned serious as she replied,
"Anyways, I don't need anyone right now. I am fine as I am. I just sometimes lose control of my power, I still haven't mastered it."
"Well, as long as you are fine."
Astaria shrugged.
"Anyways, I'll am going out to play with little Fel, it is her 2nd birthday today."
Allura spoke as she turned around. Seeing her back and her cultivation stage, Astaria snorted,
"Tsk, 11 years to become a Grand Master Stage Cultivator,
Fucking Monster.
No wonder the Affinity Sphere couldn't estimate your talent.
It is just too high."
"Heh." Allura just chuckled.
11 years.
That man hadn't even cultivated for this long.
Well, it was not like he needed to cultivate anyways.
"Are you sure I shouldn't meet this Felberta?" Astaria questioned.
"Huh? No, I am already changing too many things after meeting her myself. I can't take any unnecessary risks. This will also be my last meeting with her.
I have made myself known, so it wouldn't be strange for me to approach her in the future when she is about to meet him.
Anyways, don't think too much about it.
I'll take care of everything.
You should just focus on your sword.
I can see in your eyes that you want nothing more than for me to leave right now,
Practice your sword, I'll take my leave."
Saying those words, Allura finally left Astaria's room.
And just like Allura predicted,
Astaria took out her sword and the Mana around her moved.
