Press on with your statement

"That is a good attempt to deflect my statement, Libitina," you say, the first time you use her name since you've arrived. "However, I neither said you raise the dead nor I say you serve the demon."

Her supposed anger suddenly gone, Libitina sits down, eyes on you. "What is your assertion, then?"

"You manipulate life **** of someone to perform a lot of things, for example for the express purpose of imbuing that person with increased strength. That is necromancy, and if I'm to be more accurate, with a mixture of enchantment as well. That is the real reason why you are known as Libitina the Seducer."

The woman gazed at you expressionless for a long time, until she leaned. "Impressive."

"When one wants to hide a tree, the forest will do nicely." Libitina purposely dabbled in the occult to hide her real self, which is a witch who is well-versed in the black arts. Your father and others didn't know this side of her, and you only came across this secret by chance when you find her invoking the spell on your father when he was about to leave for battle. While being a skillful warrior in his prime, your father faced a lot insurmountable odd during that time, ones that would have ended his life prematurely if not for his might, one that is attributed to his heroic aura instead of the spell Libitina weaved.

"Then, tell me, what is the wisdom that you seek?"

"You seem to know of the insane pair of husband and wife?"

"I'm not involved,"

"Yet you know more,"

"We have an informal agreement of non-aggression and non-interference, yes, just like what is implied between the two of us."

That answer is enough for you to come to a realization. Whenever a magic user, a warlock, a wizard or a witch has such an agreement, it would be with another. The count and his wife aren't known to be magic users. "So what kind of demon is it?"

"A succubus."

"Why?" Succubus is a type of demon in female form or supernatural entity that appears in dreams to seduce men, usually through sexual activity. That mean the countess is the one possessed. What you can't understand is that why such a being would enter the real world just to cause problems when she can get all the sexual energy she needed by going into dreams.

"If I meet her, I'll be sure to ask, but it's not as if I will go out of my way to meet her, since that agreement is still in place."

A magic user's words are his or her bond. While a magic user may lie or break promise, such a thing will only reduce the efficacy of the spells; most powerful users would rather die rather than lie or break promise. Of course, Libitina is not a woman of outstanding character, since she misled your father a lot of time, but objectively speaking, she let him made the wrong conclusion by purposely leaving certain information out or doing something that would only strengthen his misunderstanding.

While the information is certainly helpful, she has made it clear that she would not help in solving the succubus problem. "Understood." You would have to ask someone else on methods to fight the succubus.

"Anything else?"
