Chapter 12 by merkros merkros

Do you accept her offer?

Of Course not!

For a moment, you consider her offer. However, you've brought too many witnesses to be making pacts with a demon. It's also very unlikely that she could take on so many people. As powerful and dangerous as Succubi are, they're far from the most dangerous demon in the abyss. You steel yourself as you say, "Men. Slay this abomination!"

She growls as an expression of pure rage encompasses her face, "You'll pay for refusing me, Mortal!". She charges you with inhuman speed, her feet barely touching the ground before she takes the next step. Two of your men step forward and draw their swords and block her path, but she lifts her hand and a ripple of magic sends the men flying. A third man. A big burly Knight that Ser Garret picked himself charges forward with his greatsword drawn. Her hand curls for a moment and you see a purple-hilted dagger manifest in her hand. She quickly dodges the knight's swing before stabbing the blade into his side. You watch as the knife pierces through his armor as if it wasn't even there and the man collapses to the ground. She's nearly upon you when three more of your men charge her. A swirl of fire appears in her hand that bursts out and engulfs them.

You lose sight of her for a moment and look to the sides, expecting her to run around the fire. Suddenly she bursts through the flames straight ahead of you, unhindered. She raises the blade in her hand and pounces at you. You stumble back and cover your face from her **** when the two men beside you raise their pikes to defend you. You hear an inhuman scream pierce the hall and look to see that the weapons have pierced her sides mere feet away from you. She writhes in pain as the men push her back. Black ichor spills onto the floor from her wounds as she collapses to the ground. She growls at you with a raspy voice, "Curse you, King Bryce....Curse you..." Then you watch in surprise as her body melts into a puddle of bubbling goo.

At the front of the room, you see the count collapse from his standing position before looking around in confusion on the ground. Countess Marissa also appears to have started to recover as you rush forward to help them. The countess eyes you in confusion, "Your...Highness?"

You grin as she seems to be all right, "Actually, it's your majesty now."

Beside her, her husband staggers to her feet, "your Majesty...what happened? I feel as if i have woken from a dream. I vaguely recall...being a jester?" he scratches his head in confusion.

Countess Marissa looks relieved to see her husband all right as she staggers to her feet with your help. "Your Majesty, you have done a great service, to me and my family. For that, I and the whole Loon family will remember your dedication to keeping us safe. Please consider resting up and spending the night here. I know that our most fancy bedrooms probably don't compare to yours, but it would be the least we could do for you."

It seems as if you have resolved the first crisis affecting your kingdom. A Succubus is a dangerous creature and it's fortunate that you had the foresight to wait for reinforcements and not fall for her deceit.

Do you spend the night?
