Rise of Eros - Chapter 624
The succubus was thinking as usual and it was not the first time that a succubus had had problems with the city guards. These are no different from bandits and always take advantage of their power and authority to blackmail travelers.
Since there was no way to escape, the succubus slowed down and waited for the guards to approach, however, she quickly began to concentrate her power with the intention of releasing it in one fell swoop if things went wrong.
The guards, seeing that the succubus stopped, relaxed their expressions and approached. The succubus on guard asked, “What can I do for you?” Although she sounded friendly, she was actually upset.
However, against all odds, the guards only smiled and the one who seemed to be their leader answered, “Nothing in particular, just a routine inspection. Are you Lady Seraphine’s ward?”.
The succubus frowned at the question, but answered truthfully, “I am one of your little sisters.” The guards then relaxed and with a smile said, “Then go on your way. There are many of you returning today, any special events?” Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire
She didn’t know how to respond to that, but the leader of the guards interpreted her silence and expression as if she was telling him that it was none of his business, so she didn’t inquire further and just said, “Well, that’s not important. Have a nice day.”
If the previous interaction had confused her, this had left her completely lost. She watched as the guards left without doing or asking for anything and even sent her off with kind words.
“What the hell?” she muttered in confusion, but quickly pulled herself together and continued on her way to the entrance of the city. As she entered she also noticed that the guards stationed there treated her kindly and this only confused her.
Although confused, she didn’t stop on her feet and arrived at the now Heavenly Palace. On the surface, not much had changed, so the succubus didn’t feel anything different and entered the building naturally.
Once inside, she let out a sigh of relief, before continuing towards the hidden chamber, knowing that she could find Seraphine there. Although they had an office, which was where Andrew met with them when he was here, Seraphine prefers to hold her meetings in the underground chamber.
This was because they had no way to avoid prying eyes and ears, but now that this establishment was turned into a temple of Andrew as a candidate for the god Eros, the situation changed.
The succubus didn’t know that, so she marched into the underground chamber, but on her way, she found one of her sisters and she informed her that Seraphine was in the office. She was surprised to hear this, but this day had been strange enough for her not to think about it, so she simply changed her destination and went towards the office.
Since there were only succubi in this place, there were no guards or anything like that, so the girl knocked on the door when she reached the office. From inside, Seraphine was heard saying, “Come in,” so she entered.
Inside the office, she could see Seraphine sitting behind a desk, writing some things, which surprised the succubus, since she had never seen Seraphine even use this office, much less write something.
Seraphine, not paying attention to her little sister’s strange expression, just smiled and greeted her, “Hello Cany. I’m glad you arrived safely. Weren’t you traveling with Luz and Karny?”.
Seraphine’s words made Cany come out of her thoughts and remember the reason why she had come alone and then she began to explain what had happened.
Seraphine listened to her patiently until she finished. The story wasn’t long, so it was only a few minutes and then Seraphine asked, “Weren’t there any enemies nearby?” “No. At least there was no one for several kilometers from what we perceived,” Cany replied calmly. Seraphine, contemplating things for a bit, then stood up and leaving the office she said to Cany, “Come on, lead the way.”
Although Cany had just arrived and was a little tired, she didn’t complain, because she knew that her sisters could be in danger if they delayed. Seraphine didn’t delay and took Cany and moved at an insane speed.
If Cany with all her strength had taken half a day to reach the city from the mountain where she left her sisters, it was clear that it was relatively far, since Cany, although not an expert, is half a step away from achieving it.
It may not be amazing, but it was still a long distance. However, with Seraphine leading the way, they reached the mountains in less than an hour, in fact, it was only about 20 minutes.
That’s the difference in power between the two. When Seraphine and Cany arrived where Luz and Karny were taking care of the unconscious harpy, the two succubi were surprised, but when they saw who they were, they relaxed.
“Has she not woken up?” Cany immediately asked when he saw that Ayla was lying in the same place as when he had left. Luz was the one who answered, “No. She has moved a little as if she had nightmares, but she has not woken up.”
Seraphine did not interrupt the girls who were talking and simply walked up to Ayla and looked at her with curiosity. Although she had never seen a harpy, that was not why she looked at her with such curiosity.
In this world, only the succubi were blessed by Eros, but if there was another race that had benefits from Eros, it was the harpies. Although they do not have the sensuality and charm of the succubi, the harpies have something that makes them similar.
Harpies have an innate fieriness, which turns them on for a while. Among Harpies, it is known as being in heat or estrus and during that time, they will be very sensitive and addicted to sex.
It is like a diluted version of Andrew’s state of euphoria. Seraphine didn’t know any Harpies, but knowing about this state and sensing Ayla’s connection to Eros, she became very curious.
“So Harpies are like distant relatives,” Seraphine thought as she felt the connection. Obviously, only Seraphine could sense this, as she is a demigoddess and can better assess aura.
Cany and the others hadn’t felt anything, they just felt sorry for the bird girl and helped her. Seraphine hadn’t noticed, but her intense gaze at Ayla had made the other succubi stop their chatter and look at her.
“Is something wrong?” Cany asked a little warily. Seraphine’s gaze was so serious that it was scaring them. They even thought that Seraphine had some grudge against the harpy. Make no mistake, they wouldn’t go to bat for Ayla when they didn’t know her. They would always side with Seraphine, but they still felt a bit sorry for the little bird girl.
Seraphine didn’t know what her younger sisters were thinking and just replied, “It’s nothing, I just found out something interesting, but I have to check it out. For now, you did well to save her. Let’s go back.”
Then Seraphine picked up Ayla and carrying her like a princess, she approached her three younger sisters and spreading her aura she covered them all in a kind of sphere and seconds later they disappeared.
