The trip to Luxem

With the preparations made, including of course the one you spent in Libitina's place, you and your soldiers went to Luxem. After a few days, you arrive at the place where the Count and Countess were staying. You reigned your horse, and turn to nod at your men.

You got down from your horse as the guards came to address you, knowing in advance your arrival. As you and your entourage were led through the place, you notice the inner courtyards were completely deserted—no servants, no activity. It is as if the people were staying away from what will happen.

Good for you.

You and your men made your way to the meeting hall, where only two people, the Countess and her husband sat on their thrones. As you enter, the the Countess stood up and bowed. "Your majesty. I wasn't expecting you to take so long...Or bring so many men."

The Count remained seating.

The Countess saw your gaze and then turned to her husband. "The king is here, you fool,"

"There's no need," you said. "Since you're the one in charge, and since you expected me coming here, let's dispense with this farce."

"I figured the few peasants who ran away last week would eventually cry to the King."

"Will you show yourself? Or would you prefer I strike you down while you're possessing the countess, weak as you are?"

A sudden, brilliant flash of light filled the room. You shielded your eyes. When the flash cleared, the body of the Countess lay on the throne. Standing in her place was a creature of terrifying beauty. She had dark purple skin, huge horns, and wild, fiery red hair. Bat-like wings stretched from her back, and a long tail flicked behind her. She was nearly nude, her powerful, seductive form impossible to ignore.

"A succubus," you said.

"Indeed I am," the creature said while smiling seductively. "Your Majesty. I don't need to fight you. I can show you pleasures your human girls couldn't even dream of," she purred, drawing attention to her body. "Imagine it. You could do anything you wanted with me, and I would love it."
