The Succubus, The Priest, and His Fall Into Lustful Heat - Chapter 74
‘Tomorrow, there might be something fun in Medialle. Just trust me on this.’
‘What?’
After expressing frustration about why Moablon was being so unreasonable, Ashtel finally had her sister apologizing and hugging her.
This time, Ashtel found it hard to forgive, so she declared, still fuming:
‘I don’t know. I won’t see Sis Moa for a while.’
‘R-Really?’
‘Yes. Go back to the Demon Realm now. If not, I’ll tell Sis Seri everything!’
With even the eldest sister being mentioned, Moablon had no choice but to relent. She tried to appease Ashtel with apologies, promises to share her prized treats, and various other reassurances.
Though Ashtel’s anger wasn’t completely gone, the constant pleading for several hours softened her heart a bit. They made up to a reasonable extent, and Ashtel took the opportunity to send her back to the Demon Realm, which was a good outcome for her.
“But…”
As yesterday’s sun sets, today’s sun rises.
Ashtel sighed deeply and looked up. The majestic Medialle seemed oddly whimsical today.
‘How will I face Payne?’
Honestly, she had no idea what he was thinking. He had been avoiding her all day yesterday, and with the strange comments during the meal, she wondered what to expect today.
Feeling uneasy, she rushed to find Payne as usual. To her surprise, her worries were somewhat alleviated.
“Miss Maid, I have something to discuss.”
“Priest Payne!”
Payne was waiting for Ashtel.
‘Has his mood improved?’
However, after examining his face, it seemed otherwise. His eyes were darker than yesterday, and his usually rosy lips were unusually pale. He looked almost as if he was ill.
Naturally, Ashtel’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Father Payne, is something wrong?”
“No.”
“Then why…”
“Miss Maid.”
The morning sun shone warmly, and the shade in front of Payne, who had his back to the sun, flickered softly.
He slowly lifted his gaze to meet Ashtel’s.
In the solemn moment where he had been silent, he finally spoke.
“I don’t think you need to assist me with my desires anymore.”
“Excuse me?”
“I’m feeling better now.”
“…What?!”
Is it really true?
Payne has recovered?
‘No, no, no. That can’t be!’
It was only yesterday that Payne had lost his senses to his heat. Yet, to return to normal in just one day seemed impossible.
‘Payne must be lying.’
If so, why?
Was it because the sight of herself in the bath was so shocking?
‘Is it because I… mas—bated?’
Even thinking about it again was unbearably embarrassing. Especially since, despite trying to be discreet, he had seen her spread her legs wide and cry out for him.
Ashtel closed her eyes tightly and mustered the courage to ask, “Am I being pushed away because I showed you such a sight yesterday?”
“…What?”
“There’s no way the illness could be cured overnight. And you said it was a demon’s curse. Can a curse be lifted so easily?”
“Sir Duvalkan helped. Meeting him last night was because of my condition.”
But hearing this, Ashtel’s eyes widened with moisture as she scrutinized Payne.
“Is that true? Sir Duvalkan solved it?”
“Yes. So, your assistance is no longer needed.”
Upon reflection, Payne’s words seemed implausible. After all, this wasn’t a succubus’s curse.
‘It was an excess reaction to pheromones.’
To solve this, periodic relief was necessary. Whether it was through ej-culation or stimulation, the heat had to be relieved until climax.
‘I heard that curses can be removed with divine power… but Payne’s case might be different.’
That too seemed like a lie. However, Ashtel wasn’t sure how far divine power could influence, so she hesitated.
“…Then, may I hug you once?”
“Pardon?”
“Father Payne, you used to get an e–ction even with just a touch. I need to check.”
If it was to determine the truth, simply inducing e–ction could suffice.
Ashtel took a step closer, gently spreading her arms, and Payne was visibly unsettled.
“No, that’s not necessary…”
“Please. Give me assurance.”
Regardless of other matters, Payne’s condition was critical. If he had indeed been freed from the pheromone-induced heat, she needed to see it with her own eyes.
With a serious expression, she took another step forward. Payne, as usual, hesitated and backed away, but he couldn’t resist Ashtel’s intense gaze and clenched his teeth.
Indeed, if she didn’t do this, she wouldn’t be able to completely push him away.
At last, the shadows of the two figures merged.
