King of succubus

Chapter 149 Fruit Of Eve



"Sigh, how many times should I tell you so that you can understand that my perception is not as great as you think? In short, let's rather worry about important things at the moment. We'll talk about it afterward if you care so much." He finally affirmed with a bitter smile.

Since the incident that almost killed Sylvia, Alvine kept feeling that she was taking him for someone who had powers similar to her. "In any case, do not forget that I am always in holy rank! So don't take me as a miracle worker. I can't realize things that exceed my power and level of cultivation." He ended his sentence with these words.

But his words sounded differently in the ears of the two girls who were with him. One cursed him in a low voice to pretend to be a weak man when he had almost killed her first advisor who was a low-ranking divine mage while Sylvia rolled her eyes remembering one of his events.

"Do you have a weak perception?! Yeah, that's it, from someone who can feel the aura of death hundreds of kilometers from him?! In this case, if you consider yourself so, who in this universe would be able to qualify itself as strong?!" She spoke in a low voice. But Alvine and Liliana could clearly hear her words.

"What did you say?"? Alvine asked. Even if he had heard her words correctly. It was rather a hidden threat that meant: Repeat what you just said if u dare?!

"You may have heard badly. I was talking in my thoughts." She finally abandoned her whims and focused her attention on Liliana who was always silent.

"Do you want me to erase part of his memory?" She asked with a sharp look not at her master, but at Liliana.

"Yes."

"But she has nothing abnormal anymore. Why do you always insist on this?"

"Sigh, I can see that she's fine for now. But it is only thanks to your power. If it ever ceases to affect her, then...

"No!" Even before Alvine could finish his sentence, Liliana interrupted him while eclipsing herself on her chair and stopped directly in front of Alvine with a determined expression that was totally the opposite of her expression earlier. "I refuse to forget the information I had just learned! I had long sought the truth that had been hiding behind the impassable veil for several centuries but in vain. At least, until I meet you. So it's out of the question that I forget that. No matter what price to pay!"

"..."

After a moment of shocking silence on the part of Sylvia and her master, her master finally breaks the silence: "Listen to me well, little queen. I am not usually lenient enough towards strangers. But this is the third time I have been with you, so don't take my benevolence in patience, because this is the last time I try to do something that will be favorable to you. You seem to be doing well now, but I'm sure even Sylvia can know that it's only momentary. But if you enjoy living with something that can make you lose your mind at any time, then enjoy yourself." These were his last words before he closed the door behind him.

But after his departure, his voice resounded in Sylvia's head by telepathy. *If she wants to stay with us so much, you might as well explain to her the essential things. I'll leave you the rest, I have some topics to discuss with Noddra. So don't let her die unnecessarily, she is always useful to us. And also one last thing, I don't need to explain to you that she doesn't need to know more about me. I can see the eyes of this crazy girl shining with curiosity. *

Hearing her master's order, a smile of self-satisfaction adorned her lips. *Fufu, Your desires are orders, master. * She says by imitating the other maids.

*Tsk is only when it suits you, isn't it? *

*Hehe. That's not right. * She affirmed. But unfortunately for her, Alvin had cut the connection with her as soon as he finished his last sentence. As a result, Sylvia's words did not reach their destination.

"Why is he angry?" Liliana asked confusedly after Alvine's departure.

Sigh

"It's not against you that he's angry, he's just frustrated to realize that he cares about someone else who is not part of his family." She responds with a subtle smile at the corner of her lips.

'I wonder what he had really experienced in the past to be so ruthless as to blame himself for worrying about someone else who was not part of his entourage. Even if he hides it, I know he didn't want me to talk about the other entity in him to Liliana for fear that something irreversible will happen to her. Because unlike the powers of the goddess, the powers of this entity cannot be controlled by any of us. Fufu, it looks like he has made progress. I must under no circumstances leave Liliana behind me, if she achieved something that I myself had trouble with, she deserves her place by his side.' She concludes her thoughts while a smile of self-satisfaction.

"I feel like I'm an eye-catcher unintentionally. I'm seriously starting to wonder if it's a good idea to stay with him. After all, he doesn't seem to appreciate me. It is...

Before she continues her sentence, Sylvia tapped her shoulder with a professional smile as if she were about to convince a buyer to buy her products. "Believe in my experience, even if I had not spent much time with him, I have still watched him from his young age. Umm, technically, I think. But you are the first person he cared so much about. So you absolutely have the green light for that. Even if you may have major competitors, you will certainly have your place if you don't give up. Vampires have their customs after all, don't they?"

Hearing Sylvia's question, she blushes strangely before nodding her head confusedly.

"Well, here it is! That's what I would like to see." But suddenly, her eyes shone with an indescribable but malicious glow when she suddenly thought of a detail. "Do you want me to tell you a secret that will help you better cope in front of him?"

"Hm? What do you mean?" Even if her expression seemed placid, Sylvia could feel the sudden beating of her heart when she heard him propose an idea.

But she pretended ignorance and approached her mouth to her ear while starting to whisper something with her mischievous smile that was always plated on her lips.

"...!" As she heard Sylvia's words, her cheeks turned the same color as her scarlet hair.

After leaving the queen's room, as Alvine had ordered, Noddra was still patiently waiting at the end of the corridor with doubtful thoughts.

But when he saw Alvine, he welcomed him with a benevolent smile while bowing slightly to him.

"Sigh, I see that you didn't really think about what I told you before leaving. In short, let's find a suitable place to talk about issues of concern." He said, frowning slightly.

'At first, I thought he was doing this only because their queen's life is now linked to mine but now I strongly doubt that this is the cause of the change in his behavior towards me. Sylvia was also acting strangely in her own way. Regarding the Queen herself, I can assume that she has become so because of this embarrassing bond that forces her to submit despite herself, so it's understandable. But why the others? Sigh, why do I care about unnecessary details? Sooner or later I would understand what is going on behind my back. Since Sylvia is in the game, I guess it's not something dangerous.' He concludes with his thoughts.

But he was suddenly awakened by Noddra's roque voice. "In this case, please follow me to the room next door. This is the queen's private room, we will not be disturbed by third parties or guards." He suggested to him while showing him the way.

Alvine made only a slight nod while following him with an impassive expression.

After a long walk, Alvine saw the light at the end of the corridor after three detours; two left and the last detour to the right. 'Hm? The sunlight? I thought he couldn't resist sunlight? Now that I think about it, the vampires who fought with the Kelspies and ice elves against magical beasts were also fighting under the sun.' He remembered this little detail.

"Noddra, do vampires have a problem with the sun?" He eventually succumbed to his curiosity and asked Noddra the question.

"Ah that, how to explain this to you...

Seeing his hesitation, Alvine stopped him. "Don't feel obliged to answer me. After all, it's probably information that puts vampires at risk."

"No, if it's you, Lord, there's no harm for that. The sun is indeed the natural enemy of our race. But this meanwhile, we have artifacts in our possession that allow us to resist the negative effects of its rays. As for vampires of the high nobility like the queen and other counselors including myself, we do not need these artifacts. We are totally immune to its effects." He explained briefly as he crossed the flower garden with Alvine under the sun, nonchalantly.

"I also noticed roses and brambles throughout the walls, doors, and also in this garden." He asked once again like a curious child who had just discovered a new world.

"Hoho, that's just the Queen's order. She has a penchant for flowers, especially those with spiny brambles. So according to her will, we remodeled the castle according to her desires. I'm sure she will be in a waking dream if you give her one of these flowers as a gift." Noddra joyfully answered Alvine's question with a bonus.

'Why would I do that? We didn't come here for a vacation.' That was the answer he wanted to give Noddra. But Noddra was faster than him.

"We have arrived, my lord." He said, addressing Alvine.

When he looked around, he found nothing special for normal beings who did not cultivate mana. Unlike other places in the palace he had visited, it would be more accurate to qualify the small space as an artificial plantation of unknown plants and flowers that gave off pleasant aromas that would put anyone at ease.

But with a simple glance, Alvine instantly guessed just with the energy and high concentration of mana that these plants were not simple decorations. But among all these rare plants of celestial and divine grade, only one plant attracted Alvine's attention.

It was a small red plant sixty centimeters high, it seemed more fragile than any plant in the garden with a single spiny fruit above the tuft of flowers. The fruit itself looked like a spiny apple but unlike it, the fruit was bloody red as if someone had painted a spiny apple with blood. But the reason Alvine felt curious about this fruit was that it gave off the smell of blood in a thousand places from him!

"Ah, that's the treasure of this garden. This is the fruit of Eve. I don't know much about it but according to the legend of our race, it is a fruit created by the creative goddess who created our race. Even if I doubt that this is true but the fruit itself is capable of making the vampire who will eat it, independent of blood for a century while allowing him to increase his innate abilities to an unimaginable level. It does not yield fruit until every two or three centuries after growth. This is also why we call her makers of sovereigns. Only the queen or king has the right to taste it." He explained while standing next to Alvine who had a curious look.

Hearing Noddra's explanations, these eyes suddenly shone with a glimmer of hope. 'If it's so special, they only have to give this fruit to the queen so that she can be independent of me for a whole century while she will look for a solution to get rid of this annoying bond that has formed between us by accident! But why haven't they done that yet? Is it possible that this fruit has not yet reached middle age? No matter, it's the only solution that will keep my blood safe even if it's for a short period of three or four years; it's definitely worth it!'
