The aftermath of the duel

After making such a proclamation, you throw away the head; you're already a sexual deviant, and there was no need for you to start collecting heads for hobby. "Lady Vessa!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," the said mage replied as she move the front.

"Cast the Fire Caldron spell on the head."

The mage look at the head and then at you. "Your Majesty, the spell will take a lot of mana, which is excessive considering that it's just a head."

"Are you confident that this succubus will not regenerate? And judging from the fight, are you confident you're able to defeat it when it does, or at least prevent it from running away?"

Lady Vessa shook her head.

"Then, carry out my decree. Burn it until everything turns to ashes, and let the wind blow everything away." There was always a chance a demon has the ability to regenerate. The easiest way to prevent that, or at least make the process slow down almost infinitely was to disintegrate the head into very tiny pieces and then scatter it. If the succubus ever recover after a hundred years, she would be someone else' problem. "When in doubt, always overkill."

"Yes, Your Majesty," the mage replied before she got to work.

Meanwhile, you turned to address the count and countess which seemed to have recover. "Sorry about the hole my Mage is causing, but we don't want to take chances," you said as you gestured to the headless body in the middle of the room. "The demoness had been taken care off," you said as Lady Vessa burned off the head, and with it, the body turned into black mist and disappeared.

The count staggers to stand up. "Your Hig... Your Majesty. What had happened?"

"The two of you fell under its thrall but no more."

The count and his wife shared a look. "Your Majesty," the count began, "You have not only save us, but also the domain, and its people. For that, I and the whole Loon family once again pledge our allegiance to you. Please spending the night here. I know that our fanciest bedrooms wouldn't even begin to compare, but please, let us provide our best hospitality to you."
