I looked at Cecily without saying anything. She was looking at with a seductive smile, chin propped up.
When a mature beauty like Cecily speaks with that kind of pose and voice, it’s hard to describe how devastating it is. She already had a sexy appearance, but the combination of her pose, expression, and voice made feel like I was falling into a trance.
If it were another man, he would have fallen for her without regaining his senses. Fortunately, I had built up so immunity from spending ti with her. Of course, I couldn’t help my face from turning red and my heart from pounding.
“Ahem… hem…”
I cleared my throat to maintain my composure as my face heated up. It was partly due to the sudden ambush question, but also because Cecily’s atmosphere was so seductive that it was hard to stay focused.
Still, I managed to calm down sohow. I opened one eye slightly and t Cecily’s gaze.
Cecily remained in the sa pose as before, as if she would stay that way until I answered. Just looking at her made my heart race even more.
‘…Is she really a succubus descendant?’
Anyway, I thought it would be best to answer the question. I cald my pounding heart and spoke calmly.
“…I want to say you’re excessively self-conscious, but I can’t.”
In reality, the appearance of the executive in charge of lust, Lilith, is remarkably similar to Cecily’s. Lilith’s setting is that exudes a sensual figure due to her revealing clothing and black hair, her clothing may not be as revealing as Cecily’s.
Of course, it’s not exactly the sa as Cecily. There may be a tear mole that adds to her charm, different hairstyles, a pair of devil wings on her shoulders, and, last but not least, Cecily’s clothing isn’t as revealing as Liliths.
I’m not sure if it’s not the sa dress I saw at the last gathering.
Anyway, it’s true that I used Cecily as a reference, but there are so significant differences. If I had to make an excuse, it was like Lilith in my head was in front of right now, not Cecily.
‘By the way, why is she saying that? Is she teasing ?’
I opened one eye to confirm Cecily’s face. I noticed her laughing with delight, finding sothing amusing.
As I ntioned before, Cecily is halfway convinced that I am the author of Xenon’s Biography. However, since she is not entirely sure, maybe she is trying to gauge my reaction by bringing up such a question.
While I pondered this question, Cecily responded with a brighter smile than before and spoke with her seductive voice that could stir any man’s heart.
“Is that so? Too similar, huh?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm…”
With a smile on her face, Cecily looked at intently despite my blunt response. I averted my gaze from her overwhelming gaze, which was truly burdenso.
For so reason, the more I t Cecily’s red eyes, the more my mind beca hazy. Although I thought I had beco accustod to it by now, her beauty was still at a level that could be considered unfair.
“Okay, I see. I feel good about sothing.”
Cecily grinned and then opened her mouth with an expression that seed relieved. Did I just get caught judging by her reaction? I wondered to myself, but it didn’t seem like it.
Anyway, the attractive atmosphere that she was emitting gradually diminished. My burning face subsided, and my heart, which had been beating recklessly, gradually beca calm.
I heaved a sigh of relief inwardly and asked her with a slightly tired voice.
“…Why would you ask that?”
“I just asked. I wondered if I was the only one who thought that way.”
“I said it before, but if it was soone else who said that, I would have called them out for an overblown ego.”
“Hmm.”
Cecily let out a faint hum and narrowed her eyes halfway. Her red pupils shone brightly between her narrowed eyes.
Just when I felt a slight unease in my heart, Cecily leaned forward slightly and whispered to .
“Isaac thinks of as a succubus with a charming appearance and body, right?”
“… …”
Trying to avoid revealing the secret sohow made reveal my true thoughts. I couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh when I saw Cecily’s slightly pouting expression.
Is this the experience of a demon princess who has lived for over 100 years? The more we talk, the more I feel like I’m sinking into a swamp.
As I was lost in such pointless thoughts and unable to even respond, Cecily nodded her head in affirmation of my awkward laughter and leaned forward.
Then, she looked around and quietly inford that there were hardly any people in the restaurant. Her smile remained on her face.
“Isaac, did you hear any rumors when you entered the school? About being the descendant of a succubus.”
“Of course, I did.”
I was able to calmly answer, my tension easing as my true feelings ca out. It was more embarrassing to reveal my true thoughts than to reveal a secret.
Cecily looked around again after hearing my answer, as if to see if anyone was listening to our conversation.
Then, she put a hand by her mouth to prevent any sound from leaking out and opened her mouth quietly.
“If that rumor were true, would you believe it?”
“Um…”
I stared at Cecily’s face intently.
Her smirk seed like a joke, but her tone was very serious. This made it more likely that it was true
But whether Cecily really was a descendant of a succubus or not, I was sowhat skeptical. There was a difference between hearing it as a rumor and hearing it from the person themselves.
After a brief mont of surprise, I nodded my head.
“I probably would believe it. But even if you’re a descendant of a succubus, that doesn’t really change anything, does it?”
But nothing has changed. Even if she inherited the thick blood, Cecily is not a devil but a demon.
In literature, succubi are depicted as gaining power by absorbing n’s vitality, similar to my past life. However, here, they don’t suck the vitality until the victim dies like true devils.
In other words, from a man’s perspective, it is like being drained of his life force.
Of course, it is forbidden to think of it as a good thing. In recorded history, there are instances of continuing the intercourse even if blood ca out of the genitals, as well as reports of tearing off the testicles. It is truly dreadful.
“There are many different things, for example…”
Cecily’s speech trailed off, and she began to occasionally glance at , blushing on her cheeks. It seed like an embarrassing topic for her to talk about.
What kind of secret could it be that makes her hesitate, even though she usually doesn’t hesitate to make suggestive jokes? I couldn’t help but wonder.
After a while, she hesitated before finally opening her mouth with an embarrassed tone, twisting her jet-black hair.
“…like having an explosive sexual desire during nstruation?”
“… …”
“Maybe it’s because I inherited the blood of a succubus, but I have a particularly hard ti resisting it. So… I’ll stop here.”
Her face rapidly turned red, as if she was embarrassed to even say it. I also stared at her blankly, my eyes wide open.
Since she had lived for over 100 years, maybe during that ti…
“Oh, just in case there’s any misunderstanding, I have never had such an experience. If I ditate all day, I can control my desires.”
Just before I was about to think in that direction, Cecily hastily cleared up the misunderstanding. It seed like she had read my thoughts by looking at my expression, which was even more surprising since a century is an unimaginably long ti. Even compared to my age combined with my past life is less than 40 years, yet Cecily had lived for over a hundred years. It was difficult to believe that she had never been in a relationship considering all the things that must have happened during that ti.
I stared at Cecily, who was rarely flustered, and cautiously asked her in a careful tone, “You’ve never had any experience with n in over a hundred years? Is that even possible?”
“As I’ve ntioned before, besides my father, there were hardly any people who would treat my pranks lightly. Plus, I’m a princess of Helium, so any scandal involving would be politically inconvenient.”
“Well, I guess that makes sense.”
If you were the child of a ruler like Cecily or Rina, you would have to be even more careful with your behavior. In my past life, if a negative rumor arose about a politician’s child, the parents were often caught up in the scandal as well.
Furthermore, Cecily is the next demon king of Helium, which makes her position even more delicate. Even a small rumor about her could put her in an embarrassing situation in many ways.
“Is it okay for to be with you, then?”
Suddenly, that thought crossed my mind, and I couldn’t help but tilt my head in confusion. During our last eting, Cecily said that linking arms was a form of reward, but sothing didn’t quite add up.
It could be due to cultural differences, or maybe sothing else entirely. As the question arose in my mind, I asked Cecily about my curiosity.
“Is it okay to link arms like we did during our last eting?”
“Huh? Oh, that? I don’t mind it since I consider it a reward. However, anything beyond that is not allowed. For example, touching my horns or holding hands.”
Cecily explained while fanning herself to calm down the heat on her face. It was even more surprising for as a human to hear that linking arms was acceptable, but she brushed it off as a cultural difference.
At the mont when our conversation seed to be cut off with no more exchanges, Cecily carefully looked around before opening her mouth in a quiet voice. There was a faint redness engraved on her face, indicating that her mind was not yet calm.
“…Isaac, do you have any secrets like this?”
“Secrets?”
“Yeah. Secrets that are hard to tell others. The reason I have no experience in love is because I am a succubus descendant. As you know, succubi have to absorb a man’s vitality until they die. Because of that rumor, Helium’s n tend to avoid , thinking that I am like a poisonous flower.”
“Oh…”
It was an interesting story. I exclaid with my lips round in admiration.
As for , I didn’t care whether Cecily was a succubus or a descendant of one, but it seed that demons were sensitive to such matters, probably because they were themselves descendants of the devil.
Even I, as a human, could easily understand it. But that’s not important now.
“A secret…”
I lowered my gaze and muttered softly while holding my chin with one hand. Cecily’s face across from was tense.
Does her telling a secret an that she trusts ? Cecily isn’t prying until I speak, unlike Rina.
However, she’s already convinced that I’m the author of Xenon’s Biography. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have created this situation. Secrets are ant to be revealed by one’s own mouth to have any authenticity.
‘Can I really trust her?’
It’s been two months since I t Cecily, but there are still many things I don’t know about her. Even if she reveals a secret herself, it doesn’t an that I can trust her.
But what if I’m hesitant to speak when she’s already halfway convinced? She might be disappointed that I don’t trust her enough to reveal the secret she already believes in.
I pondered for a while before lifting my gaze up. Cecily was waiting for my answer with a tense expression.
“…Noona.”
“Yeah, Isaac?”
“Do you tend to keep secrets to yourself?”
Cecily nodded in response to my serious question. Her expression was very grave, and there was no sign of joking.
I took a deep breath and looked around. There were hardly any people, but I felt like we should speak in a quiet place at least.
With a slight smile, I whispered to Cecily.
“Should we go sowhere quiet for a mont?”
“Okay!”
Cecily’s face lit up with a smile at my suggestion.
