025 He Is My Husband!!

'I'm fucked!!' Aurelius's mind snapped in fright as he looked at her stats.

'Level 105! Fucking level 105!! Fuck! What is wrong with my fate?!'

He cursed inwardly as his heart pounded against his chest. Blood surged through his veins while deep blue eyes dilated as he thought of a way to escape.

A drop of sweat threatened to roll down his face, but he immediately shook it off as he held his head high, swinging his arms to the back.

"Who are you?" he asked, his voice confident and prideful, perfectly masking his fear inside.

He tightly clenched his jaw, stopping himself from clattering while he curled his hands tightly into fists, turning them pale.

'As much as it is humiliating, I have to interest her, like a mouse playing with a cat—Lose the cat's interest; it kills you!'

He forcefully calmed his breath to become normal. He had to act carefully, or else he and his followers might lose their lives.

CHUCKLE

"Oh my!" Esper exclaimed as she laughed heartily, feeling amused by his confidence.

She began to walk over to him, her hips swaying in a hypnotic rhythm. Her perfect hourglass figure was loosely hugged by a black dress, threatening to spill out with her every step, teasing with a promise of what lay beneath.

Her purple eyes glowed as she leaned close to him. Her hot, seductive breath caressed his neck, sending a shiver down Aurelius's spine.

Her hand, hovering in the air, tantalizingly close to his cheek, almost grazing it, as if savoring its prey before contact.

Her other hand wasn't idle; it went down Aurelius's body, coiling around his member.

SHIVER

Aurelius shivered as he felt her cold, soft, slender fingers coiling around him. His little brother became active as he stood up, poking Esper's stomach.

"Haha," Esper chuckled lightly, like a baby amused by its toy. She leaned closer to his ear, "Shall we go for a round?" she whispered.

'Fuck! I have to be more careful!' Aurelius exclaimed inwardly as he almost lost control.

He bit his inner cheeks, forcing himself to gain clarity and stay grounded.

"Get off him, Esper!" Lilith yelled, cutting through the high tension as she appeared behind Aurelius. Her hands tightly clutched his shoulders and yanked him back, away from Esper.

Her shout woke the sleepy girls from their slumber, giving Aurelius and Lilith a confused look.

Elara, confused by what was happening and who the new lady was, groggily swiped the saliva off her cheek as she mumbled, "Your Holiness, who is—"

But before she could finish her sentence, Griselda forcefully covered her mouth, not letting out even a squeak.

She wasn't as inexperienced as Elara or Sarah; she knew that they were in danger and pulled the two confused and frightened MILFs close to her.

"Aww! Come on, I was just playing!" Esper complained playfully while pouting her lips, stomping her feet lightly like a toy being taken away by a baby.

Lilith let go of her disguise, turning her hair pink. Her tail coiled around Aurelius's naked body protectively.

"HE! ISN'T! A PLAYTHING!" Lilith growled as her eyes burned with fury, her bat wings spread wide, covering Aurelius and the girls, who were now behind him. "He is my husband!"

Esper, who was playing and smiling until now, turned serious. Her purple eyes narrowed at Lilith, while she straightened her back. "You should know that succubi cannot have husbands! We only have slaves! Your mother was the one who ordered this!"

'What is going on!? Who is this woman!? How does she know Lilith!?' Griselda exclaimed inwardly as her mind raced to think of any plausible explanation.

"Fuck that whore! I don't care what she yaps or orders! He is my husband!" Lilith spewed in rage, tightening her grip around Aurelius.

But Esper didn't like what she heard; after all, Lilith's mother was her master. "Careful now, I can snap your 'husband's' neck like a twig!"

Esper threatened back, her eyes squinted further while a purple light glowed in her hands. 'I may not hurt you, but that doesn't mean I won't kill that plaything!'

Esper was about to take a step, proving that she was serious, but Lilith's next words made her halt in her tracks: "Take a step and I will kill myself!"

The atmosphere in the hut was thick with heavy tension as Lilith and Esper glared at each other, testing each other's will.

'Fuck!! Fuck my luck!! I had to bang someone whose mother had a servant that was level 105!! Fuck!!' Aurelius cursed his fate and luck while his face contorted with frustration.

Even with the threat of death lingering closely in front of him, his mind raced as he pieced together some information about Lilith's background.

Recalling Esper's words, 'It's most likely that she is at least a duke, if not the fucking queen! Fuck!'

Lilith and Esper continued to stare at each other, neither willing to back down as they stared at each other like a snake and a cat.

But one had to eventually lose this standoff; Esper bit her lip in annoyance as she backed down, and the purple light in her hand flickered before it faded away.

Lilith let her guard down ever so slightly after seeing Esper back down. But she wasn't relaxed; 'this isn't over yet!'

Lilith and Aurelius stared at Esper, who now closed her eyes as if pondering what to do next.

Aurelius stayed silent till now because, 'First, I don't know anything about that woman! Second, she is too strong and I don't have a leash to control her like Lilith does!'

He didn't know what would happen next, as their fates were in Esper's hands.

'No! Our fate lies in just how much Lilith's mother likes her daughter and how much leeway that woman has with her mother!' Aurelius concluded swiftly as he kept his silence.

Rage boiled inside him for all the humiliation he felt, but he had suppressed it; he had to force it down to the depths of his heart. 'Just because I am too weak!'

SNICKER

He snickered inwardly as he mocked himself, 'What kind of god am I if I can't even protect myself?' Anger seeped through his veins while his eyes glowed with frustration at his helplessness.

SIGH

"All right, you have two choices," Esper said as she sighed in defeat; she could not piss off Lilith and force her to do something troublesome.

Her words cut through the heavy air, waking Aurelius up from his self-mockery.

"First," she smirked as she held up one finger, "stay here, and I will kill everyone and drag you back home!"

Lilith's eyes narrowed dangerously at the open threat, and adding the smirk on Esper's face wasn't helping much. She gritted her teeth at her powerlessness as she kept her silence, making Esper widen her grin as she continued.

"Second, come willingly, and I will not touch anyone. Oh! And your plaything can come with you too!" she finished as she pointed her finger at Aurelius.

"Husband!" Lilith corrected as she clenched her fists. But Esper just shrugged off her shoulders and muttered, "Same thing!"

She didn't care what Lilith called her slave; to her, he was just a plaything dolled up as a husband.

Lilith bit her lip as she thought about Esper's words; if before, she would have gone with Esper as it had been a no-brainer. But now?

She turned back and looked at Aurelius; this wasn't a decision she could make; after all, her life belonged to her lord.

If he insisted on staying, then she would fight tooth and nail and even sacrifice her life to try to make it happen.

Aurelius's eyes softened when he noticed Lilith's gaze; even though he knew all the love they had for him was fake and produced artificially, it still struck a chord within him when Lilith jumped in front of him and tried to save his life.

"I….."
