Bekka : "I still can't believe it."
Hajun : "T-that's..!"
Mira : "Ooh, shiny!"
The item the three of them were ogling over was the third reward from the dungeon and it was undoubtedly the most precious thing he could've received.
Sitting in Exedra's outstretched hand was a palm sized white stone with a rune for ice inscribed on it.
"This is an affinity stone my daughter. It'll give you the power to generate and manipulate ice." He carefully explained.
If Hajun didn't bite his tongue to keep his mind alert, he would've fainted already.
This was an extremely rare treasure that each of the continents would bleed for and his young master was pulling it out and handing it over to a child like it was a mere lollipop?!
He desperately wanted to protest, yet when he started to speak Exedra looked at him and he froze.
Those eyes that were seemingly daring him to speak sent chills down his spine and prompted him to realize that his opinion would be entirely unwelcome. 'Such a doting father… my king, he's just like you.'
Exedra had long planned something like this but was simply waiting on the chance.
Naturally he knew that Lisa was worried about fitting in as a lesser dragon, and even though he would kill anyone who dared to belittle her, he didn't know if he could be there to step in and save her before damage was done.
And so he intended to give one to both of the girls, as a means to make them feel more at ease in their new home. "Here, hold this."
"Oooh it's cold!"
"Alright, now crush it."
"Okay!" Mira quickly heeded her father's words and crushed the stone with her tiny hands.
In the next second, cold air emerged from the shards of rock and flowed into her temple.
Hajun and Bekka held their breath in awe.
They were literally witnessing the use of one of the rarest items in this world!
They had to thoroughly engrave this piece of history into their minds.
Eventually Mira absorbed all of the essence and the area became completely silent. "So… how do you feel my little cub?"
Bekka asked delicately.
Mira didn't respond and instead opened her mouth wide and released a blast of cold air into the sky that turned into a small shower of snow.
Hajun: "Incredible… She's really become an ice dragon.."
Bekka : "My daughter is even MORE amazing now!"
Exedra: "I'm glad everything worked out okay."
Mira's eyes shone with a strange glint before she turned towards her father and said in an excited voice, "Thank you so much daddy! If you want Mira to kill someone just tell me!"
Exedra was originally taken aback by his daughters sudden blood thirst but when he remembered their first meeting, he realized that was pretty in line with her personality.
The worry that he might be raising a tyrant never crossed his mind.
Whether Mira grew up and wanted to be loved or feared, it would not change the fact that he was her father and he would love her all the same.
Exedra focused a little bit on the aura of Mira and he could now feel clearly the aura of a noble dragon. "It's my job to kill for you my daughter not the other way around."
"B-but Mira wants to kill things with her power." Despite the morbid nature of her words, the little girls expression was quite sorrowful as if she'd just been told she couldn't have cake for breakfast.
Bekka took this moment to swoop in and get some mother daughter time. "Well you can go hunting with me? What do you say?"
Mira looked back and forth between old man Hajun and her father before answering.
It was as if she was trying to gauge if it was okay to go hunting with her battle maniac mother.
Seeing them both nod she finally accepted with a bright smile on her face. "Yeah, let's go!"
Suddenly, Mira's eyes that were previously full of energy began to get heavy and her body went limp. "S-so tired…"
"Well you did do a lot today, lady Mira. Even though we're dragons, proper rest is still necessary for one as young as yourself." Hajun gave a polite bow before departing from the group, leaving the family amongst themselves.
Bekka quickly took Mira into her arms and carried her towards the baths. "I'll go get her ready for bed, husband. I'll come join you later."
After Exedra was left alone his thoughts overtook him.
The way Mira had gotten so sleepy out of the blue was… strange.
'System, do you know anything?'
< Individual: Mira Clearwing, has had her fate forcibly altered by the host. As a result she is undergoing alterations to her evolution conditions.
Exedra relaxed only slightly when he heard the reason for her sudden drowsiness but frowned again when he realized he was the only one to notice such a thing.
"Questions… so many questions." He sighed in his heart before he went to find Lailah and check on her progress.
-
Upon finding Lailah in their bedroom, Exedra was going to ask how her day went and if she had any issues with her conditions but Lailah had more… pressing concerns.
"Take your pants off."
As soon as she saw her husband with his new aura of seductiveness, all weariness she felt from her day disappeared as if it were never there and she only had one thing on her mind.
Briefly surprised, Exedra put on a faux expression of absurdity.
"Do you believe that I'll simply have sex with you at the drop of a hat just because you tell me to?"
"Yes." Lailah had already begun slipping out of her dress, exposing her beautiful figure to her husband.
"...I hate that you're right." He replied with a helpless smile.
He lifted her up and then tossed her onto the bed before he began to remove his own clothes as he climbed on top of her.
Exedra would not let her go until he was thoroughly satisfied.
And when it came to his wives, he was a greedy man who was not satisfied easily.
- 4 hours later.
Exedra was once again admiring the sight of his wives completely naked and covered in bite marks and a mixture of their liquids and his.
About an hour after Exedra and Lailah began, Bekka came and promptly proceeded to strip and join.
As Exedra looked at his wives who were thoroughly exhausted from pleasure he felt slightly guilty.
Entering his demonic transformation for the first time had caused his heritage as an incubus to bloom, making him a terrifying opponent in the bedroom.
He could see each of his wives' weak points, imbue an incredibly pleasant sensation into the women just by touching them, and even increase the strength and duration of their orgasms.
Even without his new powers, because he'd taken the time to learn his wife's bodies making them orgasm was almost as easy as breathing for him.
'I wanted to all her about her task but.. I won't get anything out of her like this.' Exedra regretfully looked down at Lailah who was undoubtedly worse off than Bekka.
Exedra got to focus on her for an entire hour before Bekka even showed up and her mind almost broke from the pleasure several times.
Exedra calmly pulled a blanket over his naked and shivering wives before he asked the system to see the progress of Lailah's evolution conditions.
< Lailah Izanami Draven >
< Evolution Path : Mother of Jörmungandr (Unique Species)
< First stage conditions
- Ingest 100 different kinds of poison (100/100) Complete!
- Gain a Serpent type familiar.
- Take revenge on a being who's wronged you.
'So she managed it after all.'
It took some convincing for Duke to order so much poison, but ultimately because he was certain Lailah wasn't going to harm anyone inside the castle, he procured the items she needed with speed and efficiency.
'I'll ask her for more details in the morning.' Exedra thought, before he began to get dressed to head to the castle library.
In his battle in the colosseum, Exedra realized the importance of spells as well as his weaponry, so he was going to sort through the spell books in the library to see if he could find anything useful, or better yet a spell that he could evolve.
It didn't make sense to have all of these resources and not make use of them after all.
Reaching his destination, Exedra quickly picked up a variety of spell books before he sat down at a table by the window.
The library was incredibly spacious and beautiful with rows of books both ancient and new lining every corner.
The large glass window Exedra sat next to provided a gentle view of the surrounding mountains and even the town below.
Exedra felt the most comfortable in this place.
It reminded him of the days he'd spend reading without a care in the world well into the night.
With an imperceptible smile on the corner of his lips, Exedra picked up the first book.
< Spell book detected.
< Would you like to learn this spell?
