I thought she was dead.
Before then, I had spent months waiting—hoping for even the littlest signs of her existence—to no avail.
Those were one of the most miserable monts of my life. I caused pain, not only to myself, but also to Emilia and my comrades.
They couldn’t understand my obsessive fixations, but they couldn’t bear it either.
Eventually, for their sakes and mine, I had to let go… and accept Karlia’s fate.
It had been years since I accepted her death. So, why…?!
“Did you really think I died? Hahaha, you know nothing!”
The Succubus was laughing at like everything was perfectly normal.
It would have been easier to believe if I was hallucinating or having a dream, but neither seed to be the case.
Everything I was seeing and experienced was real.
“H-how did you… they didn’t kill you…?”
“When you say it like that, it almost sounds like you wish I was dead!”
“N-no, t-that’s not… I just—”
“I’m just ssing with you. No need to be so tense. Hahaha!”
And so, Karlia narrated her ordeal to .
It turns out they didn’t kill her. No, it was more like she was too valuable to be disposed of too easily.
As a result, she was forcefully trapped and imprisoned using Magic.
Using the influence of drugs and Magic, they forcefully made her have constant sexual relations with several Demons.
Every day, even more than the amount she had been used to, Demons flooded her room and she had to service them.
That was how they bred soldiers for the War.
Even Demon Beasts were forced upon her, and she was in no position to refuse—both physically and ntally.
This continued for years… until the war finally ended.
After it was over, she was released from her compulsory mating duties, and was freed.
Having her mind and body broken over and over again, there was only one person—one reason left for her existence.
!
My lone existence was enough to bring her out of the abyss that she had been plunged into.
And so, after recovering her mind and body, Karlia only had one place to go—one person to see.
She left the previous Demon Settlent where she was held prisoner and journeyed to the Human world.
“B-but, your constitution! How did you get sustenance? D-don’t tell you—?!” I had been initially worried that she was forced to take the Souls of humans as sustenance.
However…
“Hey!” Karlia gave a cute pout, then sighed in disbelief.
“What do you take for?” Those words crushed my heart.
“I-I’m sorry…”
“Hmph! As long as you understand!” Her cherry personality never broke.
Despite the horrors she narrated to —Karlia never changed who she was.
Unlike soone so weak-willed as , she was a true gem who only glowed brighter under pressure.
As for how a Demon like her was able to freely interact with —even with Mana pervading everywhere—it was the sa reason behind my Mana Resistant Body.
Our multiple sexual escapades caused a new surge of abilities that went both ways.
As a result… Karlia was completely immune to Mana Poisoning for so reason.
Her body was completely halted from deteriorating. The Mana that ca into contact with her instantly transford into Miasma and was processed.
As a result, she never really lacked sustenance and was always being fed by the surrounding Mana.
It was absurd, but I had no choice but to believe it.
After all, here she was, standing right in front of .
The one I had loved with all my heart.
The very person I cherished so much that I chose the most difficult—seemingly impossible—path, so I could save her kind.
“So… here I am, Lewis. Sorry I’m late, but…”
Karlia approached slowly. Her seductive body swayed casually as she drew closer to .
I knew what she wanted. That was because I wanted the sa thing.
However…
“Karlia, w-wait…”
… It was already too late.
“What is it, Lewis? Are you mad at for arriving so late? Please understand. I… I had no choice. But, I’m here now.”
As she approached , I moved backward. The distance between us never closed.
“L-Lewis… why are you being like this? Even after… after everything…”
My heart ached beyond description. Still, I couldn’t make the sa mistakes. As much as I loved Karlia, it… simply wasn’t—
“What’s the problem, Lewis? I-I’m here now. W-won’t you even look at ? Won’t you embrace as you did in the past? Have I beco so disgusting and unsightly to you? Is it because of what they did to ? Are you repulsed by that? You never had a problem with it before! Besides, I don’t have to do that stuff again. As long as we’re together! Rember our promise? Hey, Lewis, look at . Lewis? LEWIS!”
I bit my lip and couldn’t even utter a single word.
Why was I a coward when it counted the most?
“If you want to fvck , just say it straight!”
Weirdly enough, those words of hers popped into my head at that point.
It gave the resolve I needed.
Even as she was about to break down before . Even as she fought back tears and looked at desperately. Even as she yearned for .
I determined within my heart to be completely honest with her.
Unfortunately, before I could say anything…
“Lewis, what’s going on here? Are you alright?”
… Yet another complication occurred.
Emilia glided to my side in a flash, traversing the long distance she had been previously the mont she spotted Karlia in front of —as well as the massive hole in our compound.
“Who is this?” Emilia asked, readying her Magic.
Even if we were currently at peace with the Demons, having one invade our compound and looking at with such emotion wasn’t a good sign for my wife.
Besides, even though I didn’t notice it until she stared at my hand, I was still tightly gripping my sword.
“Who is she?” Emilia asked once more, staring at Karlia with hostility.
The Crimson Succubus and the Elf Princess stared at each other with both surprise and a sudden sense of enmity.
At that point, it felt like all hell would break loose. And, the worst part was…
… I was at the center of everything!
