Chapter 48: Naked Healing
Chapter 48: Naked Healing
"I see. So, you must've been really horny, huh, pervert? Without sensing horniness, the succubus can't come out."
Emma remarked, scratching her chin thoughtfully.
"Huh, so that's the secret. Horniness, huh? So you're cursed because of... this... succubus?"
Kaisen tilted his head, trying to make sense of the information.
'Just because momma is a horny demoness, doesn't mean the daughte--wait a minute! What if the momma demoness tried to do with her daughter and accidently slurped up the life force? Huh?'
That could be a possibility, but looking at the clueless expression on Emma's face, he wasn't entirely convinced.
If she were Alice, he might have agreed with the theory.
After all, both Alice and the Queen were known for their insatiable desires.
However, for someone as delicate and seemingly innocent as Esmeralda, it seemed highly unlikely.
"That's a tale for another time. Now scram before I summon Sable. She'll have you in pieces before you even blink."
Emma pointed towards the door, indicating that it was time for Kaisen to leave.
Feigning hurt, Kaisen clutched his chest dramatically, as if her words had just shattered his heart like a bad breakup.
"You've got what you wanted from me, and now you're casting me aside? That's cold, Emma."
She rolled her eyes.
"Oh, spare me your melodrama. You've already had your fun grabbing and pinching my delicate body. I'd say that's more than enough for a pervert like you."
She crossed her arms and pouted, unimpressed by his theatrics.
"You think I enjoy being a pervert, huh? That's not it at all. I'm only doing it because it's the only way for me to level up."
Kaisen explained with a shake of his head, as if he was mourning his own fate.
With a heavy sigh, he rose from the bed and shook his head once more, before slowly making his way towards the door.
"If you ever want a real friend, you know where to find me. Even though you broke my heart, Emma, I'll forgive you. Not because you're a princess, but because you're a friend."
He declared, pressing his face against the door, straining to hear any sound from the other side.
When silence greeted him, he slowly cracked open the door, casting one last glance back at the bewildered princess.
With a wave, he slipped outside, leaving her to ponder his words.
Princess Esmeralda just stood there, staring at the door as if she'd heard the most absurd thing ever.
She was all set to laugh at him for saying he wasn't being a pervert because he wanted to, but because he had to for some level-up nonsense.
Yet, despite how crazy it sounded, she couldn't detect a hint of dishonesty in his eyes.
It hit her then that maybe, just maybe, he wasn't lying.
And if that were true, what did it all mean?
It meant that whatever his reasons, they were real.
"Is he the one the organisation is looking for? Oh my..."
...
On the other side, he saw the brazier all lit up again, casting its warm glow across the corridor.
Sable and the other knight were still busy, their heads bent together as they focused on the Queen's chamber door.
They seemed eager, maybe even a bit impatient, as if they were dying to catch a glimpse of something exciting inside.
He stopped for a sec, eyeing Sable's pose with a grin.
She was all crouched down, legs spread like she was ready for anything, peering through the door's slit.
In that light, her curves looked even more inviting, the armor hugging her just right.
He couldn't help but admire the view for a moment, before quietly moving on.
With all the stealth of a cat, he crept towards the next door, mindful of every creak in the floor.
He kept his eyes peeled for any obstacles, dodging the braziers like they were landmines.
Like a ninja in the night, he pressed himself against the doorframe, making himself invisible to the knights on watch.
With the lightest touch, he rapped on the door, just enough to make a sound without alerting the entire castle.
Hoping the gentle taps would be enough to rouse the sleeping woman, he waited with bated breath.
Moments later, the door creaked open, and he seized the opportunity to slip inside.
With a swift motion, he swung the door shut, catching it just before it made a noise, and closed it with a soft click.
'Fuck. That was a close one.'
He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly turned around, only to be met with Alice's piercing gaze.
"Care to explain? A knight came by the room and told me something suspicious happened. Was it you? It was you, right?"
She demanded, her arms crossed firmly over her chest, accentuating her curves even more.
She was clad in a modest nightdress, quite different from the one she wore last night.
Her stance made him momentarily lose his train of thought.
He walked over to her and gently grabbed her arms, leading her towards the bed.
"I can explain. Come on..."
He murmured, his voice tinged with urgency.
Alice's eyes widened in concern as she noticed his low health.
"What the heck happened? Why are you almost dead? Kaisen-kun, talk to me!"
She exclaimed, her worry evident in her voice.
He sat down on the bed, gesturing for Alice to join him.
She quickly took a seat beside him, her expression filled with concern.
"Just heal me, and I'll tell you everything."
A golden light emanated from her hand as she gently moved it towards his heart, but then she abruptly stopped.
He raised an eyebrow, puzzled by her sudden pause. Alice simply looked at him, her expression unreadable.
With a slow, deliberate motion, she rose to her feet and reached down, seizing the hem of her nightdress.
In one fluid movement, she pulled it up and over her head, unveiling her naked body beneath.
The silk fabric glided smoothly, revealing every curve and contour:
Her round breasts, topped with pinkish nipples; her smooth thighs; and her shaven pussy, glistening in the light.
With silent grace, she climbed onto the bed and crawled towards the pillow on her knees, her ass and pussy on full display, teasing him with every movement.
As she settled onto the bed, she locked eyes with him, her gaze intense and inviting.
With a gentle gesture, she opened her arms, and a golden light began to emanate from her skin, casting a warm glow over the room.
With a hesitant smile, he shed his clothes, revealing his naked form before joining her on the bed.
Crawling between her legs, he nestled himself against her like an eager puppy, resting his head on her soft breasts, reveling in their warmth against his face.
Her hands began to move, caressing his back with a gentle touch, suffused with a golden light that seemed to soothe his weary body.
"You know--"
"Shh, just rest. I'll heal you."
Alice interjected, silencing him with a gentle kiss on his forehead.
"Thank you, Alice-san..."
He drifted off to sleep, his head nestled on her soft pillow while her gentle hands continued to stroke his head.
Whether from his low health or sheer exhaustion, he couldn't be sure, but his eyes gradually closed and his breathing became steady.
He fell asleep against her, cradled against her naked bosom.
Alice gazed at his sleeping form, a small smile playing on her lips.
