008: Alice's Resolve

Alice left the village hall in the evening just before the 'business' hour had started. During the night, the seemingly quiet and peaceful village revealed its true facade when the sun went down.

The main gates were wide open to welcome the customers and VIP guests who wanted to spend a wonderful night with the Succubi.They didn't have to worry about being attacked by monster and magical beasts as the guests were directly teleported through Magical Portal after paying the travel fee to the agency that were spread throughout the continent.

Red lanterns were hung at the eaves, illuminating the street with festivities. Alice was dumbfounded the first time she saw this scene when she's just five years old. But she eventually got used to it.

Dozens of Succubi courtesans compete with each other to have a piece of Alice's cheek as she strode on the main street. Before she knew it, a sea of voluptuous tiddies and cleavages swarmed her from every direction.

"Alice…"

"Fufufu, you are so cute as always."

"C'mere cutie, I have a gift for you…"

Annoyed by the nonstop touch from the Succubi who adored her cuteness, Alice ran straight home as fast as she could.

'Damn it! They're so ferocious! Tsk, I'd definitely fuck every Succubus courtesan in this village when I grown up!"

The house which she lived with Catharina was situated near the village wall. It's rather simple compared to the other villagers' housing but Alice didn't mind it.

Crunchy sound resounded by the time her feet stepped onto the gravel. Catharina pulled the door open, greeting the little demoness with a warm smile. Just like her, Catharina also disguised herself as a Succubus. Granted, a demoness amongst succubi and incubi would incite an uproar for the customers and guests.

"How's school, Alice?" Catharina inquired. She decided to call her casually since she thought that it'd be too sudden for Alice to learn the truth.

But in reality, Alice knew everything down to the last details. She could fill her mother's warmth before bed.

"Err… Eventful, hehehe. I messed up big time. I accidentally casted the Seduction Spell in the classroom, and everybody went into heat immediately. Hence my lateness."

Catharina chuckled, "no wonder the succubi in the market are so restless when I shopped for groceries. They were so eager to meet you."

'Damn, I thought the effect was limited to the Monastery's premises. That explains why the succubi courtesans were really into me when I walked here. Well, it doesn't matter now. The effect would wear off eventually.'

"Let's get inside and wash yourself first. I have prepared your favourite dinner. Venison steak and gravy."

"Yayy! I love steak!"

Alicie trotted toward the bathroom and cleaned herself, got changed into a fresh dress, and went to the dining table.

Not only delicious and nourishing for her body, consuming high quality food also provides Alice with a lot of EXP. She could only wonder how much EXP she would get if she killed a Monster and ate their flesh raw.

As a Demoness, Alice didn't need to worry about mortal maladies or illnesses. It does taste bad when she has to ingest poisonous mushrooms, but her innate regeneration overheals the poisoned damage.

Sometimes, Alice dreamed of having dinner or just simply chatting with her parents. Especially her mother, Queen Aleena, having consciousness since birth was a torture on its own.

After finishing her meal, Alice spoke her mind.

"Catharina… I am wondering if we ever could reclaim Diablo from human's control."

The demoness maid almost dropped her fork, her disguise spell came undone at that very moment, revealing her majestic wings.

"Your Highness… How do you—"

"I remember everything. I could still remember mother's sweet breast milk on my lips, even. And you deliberately tore your wings, and cut off your horns so we could reach this village. I'm glad that they regrew to its former glory."

"But how? You were just a baby."

"It doesn't matter… Let's say, it's my gift as the sole heir of Diablo."

Alice moved to Alice's side, standing beside her. The maid brought Alice's face into her ample bosoms.

"Nothing is impossible, your highness. But before you could even pursue your dream, you still have some growing to do. No worries, I'll always be on your side."

"You are right… Thank you." Alice brought her arms around Catharina's waist, burying her face while looking at the maid's face from below. "Speaking of which, can I visit House of Huntress tomorrow? You are on duty to train the huntress right? May I come? Pleaseeee… I want to become stronger too."

Catharina couldn't say no when Alice was making that adorable face. Her heart was clutched by cuteness.

"Promise me you won't cause mischief during the training. It's very important for the huntress, and could be very dangerous if they lose concentration."

"Mm! I promise!"

"Alright, let's brush your teeth and get to bed. We need to wake up before dawn."

That night, Alice went into Catharina's bedroom, slipped into her bed and curled like a kitten. Somehow, she didn't want to sleep alone and be pampered for the night.

The maid understood that Alice needed some recharge after such an exhausting day. The little demoness did this from time to time whenever she was feeling lonely and down. She caressed her hair, humming a folk song until the little princess fast asleep.

"Good night, Princess."

The following day, Alice's eyes flutter open early in the morning before Catharina even woke up just yet. She stretched her wings, tails and back just like a cat while yawning wide.

"Catharina, wake up. It's morning already." Alice rocked the maid's shoulder gently.

Catharina sat up and yawned while stretching her wings to either side.

"Oh dear… We have an early bird this morning…"

"Tsk, enough with the sarcastic remark, let's get changed, and head to the training ground!"

After a quick wash in the bathroom, Catharina slipped into her training outfit and put the disguise spell on.

Tight leather pants accentuate her long and slender legs, hugging her hips and asses in all the right places. The knee high black boots made her look taller and stylish. Meanwhile, her simple white tunic shirt was tucked into her pants, providing her with a lot of movement.

On the other hand, Alice wore a cute, frilly short brown dress and a pair of boots. Both of them looked like a mother and daughter from a distance.

Before long, House of Huntress came into their view. It was situated on the village's outskirts to the west for easier access to the forest and to defend the main gate if things went south.

Dozens of Huntresses which consisted of the finest Succubi in the village had gathered in the courtyard. Each of them were already in their training outfit, lined up perfectly with strict discipline.

"Greetings, Revered Instructor!"
