At Dreadhaven, there was a major question: how to handle the succubi? These beings were powerful, but they needed more than just fighting skills to thrive. Succubi gained strength by absorbing life force and mana from others through physical contact—especially intimate interactions. But simply keeping them in Dreadhaven created risks, especially if they drained too much energy from the people.
Scarlett, however, found a solution. She ordered the construction of a **red-light district** inspired by the one in the Kingdom of Darwitz. Here, succubi could practice their abilities but with strict rules: they were forbidden from taking too much life force or mana, only small amounts that had no lasting impact. Limits on the number of custors also ensured things didn't get out of control.
The district soon grew, drawing in single people seeking companionship or a break from their daily routines.
When Scarlett ordered the creation of a red-light district in Dreadhaven, she initially expected only the succubi to be interested in working there. After all, it seed like the natural fit for a race that gained strength from absorbing life energy through close interactions. But to her surprise, won from various species stepped forward, including even the Northern Elves—a dignified and graceful tribe known for their elegance. These elves had faced devastation from the recent attacks by the Twin Hounds, and with their village damaged, they sought refuge in Dreadhaven and a fresh start.
But it wasn't just won. Males from different species also requested to join the district, seeing this as another path to work and contribute. Scarlett, usually calm and composed, couldn't hide her shock as this idea quickly grew beyond her expectations.
While Scarlett was taken aback, the residents of Dreadhaven were unfazed. Unlike in human society on Earth, where life in a red-light district could often be stigmatized or result from harsh life circumstances, the cultural norms in Dreadhaven's realm were different. Here, marriage or lifeti partners were less common, and people's relationships were often more open. Even the elves, known for their long lives and graceful customs, accepted this as a normal profession.
Scarlett appointed Lunatic, the current Queen of the Succubi, as the district's manager. With her leadership skills and deep experience, Lunatic was the ideal fit to oversee the succubi and ensure things ran smoothly. Though the district had a slow start, Scarlett was confident it would grow in ti, especially once humans began visiting Dreadhaven. After all, human curiosity often led them to seek out places like this, and Scarlett believed their arrival would bring even more life to the red-light district.
In the heart of Dreadhaven's new red-light district, Lunatic stood on a newly paved road lined with elegant houses on both sides. It was a stark contrast from the old, rugged paths, and under the night lights, the scene looked surprisingly beautiful. But Lunatic's expression didn't match the scenery; her face was dull, showing how unimpressed she felt.
"Really? After fighting through hundreds of villages and becoming the Queen of Succubi, is this what I'm supposed to be doing?" she muttered, her tone laced with irritation. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to say no when Scarlett asked for her help. Letting out a long, dramatic sigh, she thought, "I guess… anything for love."
Just as she decided to patrol the area, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder. She spun around and found Scarlett standing right behind her.
"Yo! I wanted to discuss sothing with you!" Scarlett said casually, as if she'd just dropped by for a friendly chat.
Seeing her, Lunatic's entire deanor changed instantly. With a playful smirk, she produced a rose seemingly out of nowhere, clutching it between her lips. She leaned in close to Scarlett, hand resting on her shoulder. "My, my… I didn't expect you'd co for
already. Can't resist any longer, huh?" she teased, trying her best to sound romantic.
Scarlett didn't even blink. "Have you gone insane?" she replied with a blank expression.
Lunatic didn't give up, batting her eyes dramatically. "Yes! In your beauty! Now, give
a kiss, like a proper housewife!" She closed her eyes and puckered her lips expectantly.
Scarlett's patience ran out. With an exasperated sigh, she placed her palm firmly on Lunatic's face and pushed her back a few centiters. Lunatic stumbled slightly, looking more than a little annoyed at the rejection.
"Hmph… fine, but let's answer my question first," she huffed. "Didn't you say you'd make humans bow down to ? So, when's the attack?"
Scarlett raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Huh? Why would I go attack humans just like that? And why the rush? I keep my word, but I'm not desperate for war," she replied calmly.
Lunatic threw her hands up in mock surrender. "Alright, alright… Let's get into a house and talk
