8 Chapter 8: The Path Forward!

Ludris emerged as the final victor, becoming the honorary head maid, which meant Marina would do the duties of a head maid, but Ludris got all the criedit.

While the girls began to skitter and rush around the house, a cute white spider being driven like a car by a glossy black rabbit was a sight to see.

'These moments, how long will they last....'

"Soon, the elves will declare war, and the humans will support them after an assassination attempt on the current queen and traitors take control..." Lucian's words sounded with a murmur.

A war was brewing, and the explosion that would cause it slowly singed away as the fuse was already lit long ago.

"Yet, before that... They will try to kill the next demon queen in her weakened state near the vampire capital...."

[Are you sure that rabbit isn't the princess?]

'No, I don't think so, but let's keep her safe just in case.'

Elven traitors planned the attack during the last moments of Grendel Academy's first-year tournament.

Yet, their attacks would fail because the demon queen had already fully awakened her power and slaughtered the elves, not to mention her powerful assassin-turned-knight, but her name eluded him.

'So annoying, I just want to have fun with these cute girls...' Lucian said with a quiet voice; Marina stood silently behind him, giving him a massage, as a fluffy white lower body passed his face, showing Alice and her soft, pink lips.

"Alice, please wear some underwear. Your nasty fur is not what the master wants to see!" Marina shouted at Alice, who fled from the fierce black rabbit.

'The academy, right....'

Lucian didn't know much about the game, only bits and pieces from the characters that looked cute or he enjoyed watching. However, Grendel academy was an important place where most heroines would gather simultaneously.

'We have to attend; how will I get Marina and Alice there, though? They only allow us one maid...'

"Well, normally Lance will approach Carmilla there, so let's go. I don't like the idea of some bitch ass half-angel hitting on my woman; Lucian is supposed to die within a year. Let's make sure to avoid that."

The voices in his mind all spoke horrific words, insisting he violate, slaughter and kill his way to the top.

'Am I crazy like my psychiatrist said, or are these voices real... I am in a fantasy world, so anything is possible.'

Carmilla must become mine before we leave; I won't do anything to chance, whether that simps feelings for her are affecting me; I planned to NTR him anyway.

'Master seems focused, I cannot understand his strange language, but his face and muscles keep tensing; let this devoted maid heal your fatigue and worries with her body!' Marina thought to herself, looking down gently, wishing for Lucian to feel better.

Slowly, he grew weary and tired, letting Marina return to her room as he walked along the corridors, dropping onto his soft fluffy bed filled with a sweet-scented fragrance.

Many things happened today, and as he reflected on them, falling into a deep, heavy sleep.

-

More than six hours passed as Lucian slept peacefully in his bed, his muscular chest on full display, before a breeze blew through the rooms, causing the curtains to dance like a wonderous waltz.

"Mmmmn."

Lucian stretched his body, slowly waking from his peaceful sleep and feeling a warm, soft sensation wrapped around his body; he lowered his arm to touch something soft, squishy, and warm.

"Ahn~"

He began to grope and fondle the soft, gummy object, pulling on it before a small hard point began to poke his palm, followed by the loud sigh and groan from a girl beside him as the quilt slipped off her plump, alluring body.

Carmilla curled up, her little red fur visible below her waist as she rolled towards Lucian.

She then placed her head on his chest, fluttering her golden eyes as he looked down at her pretty face, a giant smile on her lips, as her hand began to copy his actions.

"Nnnn, you are so naughty touching my breasts."

A soft and delicate hand slowly slid along his drowsy dragon, slipping her palm over the tip before wrapping her fingers around the girthy head, caressing him with narrowed eyes, her hand slowly jerking up and down before a sudden knock came to the door.

"Lucian, are you awake? It's time for breakfast," Marina's soft voice sounded, while he felt a sudden burst of pleasure from his loins as Carmilla's hand became faster, a slightly sticky noise sounding.

He slowly turned towards Carmilla, engrossed in his wild, raging dragon that throbbed in her hands; he slapped her exposed, fleshy ass, causing her to jump up and escape like an abused little deer.

"You are permitted to enter; he's just waking up now," Carmilla said, her tone sultry and assertive.

'Hmph! A day since you accepted my confession, and you're hiring sexy maids; see if I don't twist it off!'

The door opened with a creak before Marina began to step inside. Her face changed for a moment before returning to her faint smile and gentle demeanour, ignoring the naked pair and only shocked by the giant dragon that far exceeded her wildest dreams.

'Ah, this thing might reach the fabled depth, a place no male has reached for millennia for us...'

Lucian wasn't embarrassed and was used to women looking at his erection, so he moved a leg to allow Marina to view it easier. However, his eyes enjoyed Marina in her humanoid form, less human than Alice, with her spider's eyes along her forehead and those black legs behind her.

'She looks beautiful; I love those red arachnid eyes...'

"Good morning, master; today. You asked me to wake you up earlier!" Marina looked at him with glowing eyes, her cheeks slightly blushing as her body began to burn with lust.

He turned back towards his lover, yet Carmilla was already fully dressed and finishing her cute makeup, which shocked him at how quickly women could change.

"Thank you, Marina, good work. Where is Alice? I hope she settled in just fine; if you need anything, let me know, okay?"

Marina had a strange face listening to his words; she wanted to inform him that Chuchu had stolen her sister early this morning, using her as a "Mount" in her complete spider form, and refused to set her free.

"Shall we have breakfast together, Carmilla?" Lucian asked, her cute face lit up like a young maiden, no sight of the seductive self earlier.

"Mmmn!"

Vampires didn't have to feed that often, but if they didn't, some of their bodily functions would degrade, making them lazy, weak, and more vulnerable to sunlight.

The game's way of showing this would be half a vampire's attributes who didn't feed for a month.

Although it was almost impossible, vampires could die if they didn't drink blood at all.

'Let's be careful with feeding; always carry emergency doses.'

They all moved to the dining room, a grand room with lots of silver and gold utensils.

There were paintings of a familiar woman, seeming to be Marianne, the mother of Lucian, her heroic figure overlooking the enormous rectangular table, with Lucian at the head and Carmilla beside him in the bride's seat.

"Ahem, master, I have prepared a vintage bloodwine from 300 years ago, the race is a harpy, and it's a virgin wine; please enjoy the sweet and crisp taste of the harpies blood." Before serving this one, Marina spent a long time studying the books left by former maids about blood and how each one tasted.

Lucian lifted the crystal glass, filled with a crimson liquid that smelled wonderful, lifting it to his nose and taking a long sniff.

'How strange, it smells so sweet, like lemons with a hint of mint.'

While Lucian was pretentious, Carmilla began to greet Marina as their eyes seemed to emit lightning in the confrontation.

"My name is Carmilla Van Scarlet, Lucian's fiancée and childhood friend. It was a pleasure to meet you."

Marina wasn't immature, giving a gentle smile and greeting the vampiress with a slight bow.

"Marina, his wife."

The entire room felt like it filled with ice as the wine in Carmilla's hand became slushy, both women began to confront each other, but Lucian left the room a long time ago, wanting to see what other wines they had and find Ludirs to go out and hunt.

"Hmph! What wife, a dirty little spider should go back and spin webs in your crotch waiting for him to come back from my bed!" Carmilla flared up abnormally; she didn't want to lose to this beautiful Arachne, who had larger breasts than her.

Her usually icy face turned fierce as shards of ice formed around her body.

"You are foolish."

"I'm not the enemy you should be afraid of. I will take the lower seat if I can be with him."

Marina swung her arm as silver silk threads formed a guard while a strange fire mana filled half the room, causing the shards to melt. It seemed she was far more potent than Carmilla had given her credit for.

The girl's conflict intensified when the mansion walls and windows suddenly collapsed.

Lucian long left the room and felt rejuvenated; that sweet blood caused him to feel revived as he began to put the thoughts about the future war to the back of his mind; he decided to seduce powerful women from the game and live an easy life.

He suddenly felt a gust of wind pass him.

'I saw something strange now; it must be my imagination....'

A white spider with fluffy fur was running along the mansion walls and roof, her little silk thread attached to keep her balance, while a black rabbit sat on her back like a mounted knight.

"Meep!" (This princess wishes you a good morning, where is her breakfast, plebian!)

"Meep..." (This princess is also the head maid!)

He watched the two wandering towards the dining room, seeing a big explosion follow several moments after; the painful cries of Alice filled the mansion as it seemed his bloodwine collection was a victim as pools of blood began to stain the webbing.

"My head hurts... and it's not those damn voices this time...." Lucian murmured to himself.

Reward: 50SP and boost affection and loyalty of the young red dragoness.

Upon hearing the sound of Syliva, he smiled wryly before walking out of the mansion; he now realised how Lance met that girl before the story of the main game began, which meant he was also here in this city right now, or he was close by.

"Fuck!"
