"Was it a wise choice to reveal all this information to those two?" Aaralyn questioned Dante's decision, naturally, it would indeed be a horrible choice to make at this point.
"We're in a complicated situation," Dante said, sighing as he continued, "The desperation for power can blind at times, but I didn't act out of desperation. If she knows Kaalindra, it means she herself judged it valuable to reveal. Do you know what that means?" Aaralyn shook her head, and Dante replied, "She's been summoned to Hellsing."
Aaralyn blinked twice and began to ponder. If that's the case and she declined, it meant that at least she didn't feel right being in Hellsing or didn't find Hellsing sufficient for her to be there. In summary, her value was too high, and she had already declined.
"I understand. You reinforced what she would gain by joining us, not as Hellsing, but as Dante. You made yourself more valuable. Damn, that's very clever!" Aaralyn said with a smile on her face.
"If they don't give us an answer, we can use their connection in the future. I don't see that Chakal as a foolish woman; on the contrary, she's probably much smarter than Morgana. What I did was leave the offer open while making sure I can meet their expectations. Now she must be thinking hard about it, and the Elf is testing her patience.
Hahaha," Dante laughed as he continued walking through the city's night.
"If they don't help us, it won't change much. I'll just have to make a slaughter. Calculating the level of guards I encountered, the Elites are only for Emperor Adam. Ethan only has guards who have sworn loyalty to him. With that, we're at a good advantage," Dante said, beginning to change his appearance again.
"Tomorrow we'll have that stupid party. Buy a black dress with red embroidery. I have to prevent some idiots from taking what's mine," Aaralyn, upon hearing this, simply bowed and disappeared. "Yes, Master."
"Now that she's gone, let's address the other problem," Dante said, turning to nothingness, just a view of some trees, then he spoke to the wind, "Show yourself, I know you've been following us for a long time."
From out of nowhere, a hooded woman appeared. In fact, he had felt this aura before, although he didn't want to get involved, he had freed her.
"Succubus," Dante said, seeing the woman in front of him.
Her long pink hair and ebony horn already made Dante uncomfortable just by looking at her. He really didn't like demons much, mainly because of his Empress Lilith.
"I will kill you if you stand there staring at me," Dante said, looking into the demon's eyes, which were slightly intimidated by the pressure. At the same time, she did not falter and remained firm, staring back at him.
"I apologize," she said. For the first time, Dante heard her angelic voice, somewhat surprising. She had a sweet voice, different from her appearance that exuded lust.
She stood there looking at Dante, who couldn't read what her expression meant. He had no choice but to ask, "What do you want?".
"Hm? Nothing, I just want to appreciate you," she said shamelessly, speaking boldly as she continued to analyze Dante's body, which in this case, was his female form. "What do you mean by that?" Dante was getting annoyed. It seemed like he was talking to an emotionless door. The woman was strange, very strange! Even by his standards!
You see, he had a mother who practiced incest, he had a crazy witch who liked to provoke at every opportunity, and a strange vampire who was cold to others but loving to him, and now he had Velryna, who was embarrassed by everything said to her.
Now, after having all these crazy women, he even considered them completely normal compared to this demoness.
Dante turned and started walking, ignoring her existence, but at the same time, he heard her footsteps behind him following.
"I've already said, what do you want?" Dante turned angrily, but the woman only replied, "And I said I want to appreciate you."
Dante felt one of his veins popping in his head, massaging his temple, he looked at the woman again. "Leave," he said and continued walking.
He walked a few meters, and again, the girl's footsteps were still there. He turned around and saw her walking peacefully while admiring him. Ironically, she was devouring him with her eyes.
"This is going to be a headache..." He muttered and turned around. "Why are you following me?" Dante said, and she looked at him and replied, "My mother always told me to follow my dreams, and I'm doing just that." She said, sounding as if she was flirting with him.
"Get out of here, I won't tolerate your foolishness, you disgusting demon," Dante said, and she blinked twice. "Are you racist against your own kind? You're a demon too," she said as she seemed to think.
And Dante quickened his pace, walking faster, but she did the same and began to walk alongside him. Dante, however, didn't want to give in and simply started running.
They ran a lot, across the sky. She ran alongside him with a charming expression. Dante, however, couldn't discern what was happening anymore. This crazy Succubus...
"Damn it! I need to get this woman away from me, it feels like I'm being affected! And what the hell is this sensation again! Hell, I'll kill you, Lilith!" Dante shouted in his thoughts and daydreams while the woman beside him looked at him with her pink eyes almost turning into hearts.
Dante was changing tactics; he began to use his wings to boost the speed of his jumps, but it was no use, she continued to keep up with him!
He ran and stopped on top of a structure, and she appeared beside him, staring at him again, in the same way.
"Come on, what do you want," Dante said. He finally relented; the mental exhaustion he had was already apparent; he didn't have time to fool around with a demon.
"I've already told you, I want to follow my dream. You," she said. Dante couldn't retort anymore. He then continued, "What's your name?"
"Vex Gremory," she said, and Dante blinked twice. 'Gremory, one of the demons of the 72 keys? No, she's too young to be the Original Gremory; she's probably from the Gremory Clan, a descendant.'
"I am Dante Scarlet," Dante said, and she nodded. "Tell me clearly what you want, and we can negotiate," Dante said, and she nodded and simply replied, "I want to follow you."
"What I'm going to do is not safe, and I won't be able to defend you," Dante said, and she blinked twice. "I'm stronger than you," she said, flexing her arm muscles. Dante subtly saw her nose grow, as if she were telling a lie.
"Fine," Dante said as he massaged his temple. This woman was already giving him a headache.
"Here, sign." She pulled an old piece of paper out of thin air and handed it to Dante, who didn't understand but started reading the paper.
[Fidelity Contract of the Gremory Succubus!]
* Congratulations! One of the Gremory Succubi is offering you a Fidelity contract! In other words, Master and Servant! You've obtained one of the best finds of your life!
* As stated, there are rules that must be followed! As long as it does not affect the Succubus's integrity, you will have her forever by your side!
* Contracts are binding and cannot be broken. When a Succubus offers a contract to a being and the being accepts, neither can go back on their word! You will be together forever!
However, some Rules must be kept, after all, no toy should be broken! We are living beings! Let's be loving together!
From the Succubus's side, she promises:
- Eternal Fidelity, she will never betray you regardless of your actions, as long as it does not affect the Succubus's integrity.
- Obey the orders of your master, even if it involves murder, extortion, abuse, torture, or any means for third-party beings, that is, those that do not involve the contractor or the succubus, as long as it does not affect the Succubus's integrity, she will obey faithfully.
- Support the contractor in all cases, even if they are of a sexual or destructive nature, maintaining respect between master and servant duly established.
- The Succubus belongs only to the Master, and no one can touch her besides him!
From the Contractor's side:
- Sublime support! Do not let your succubus be sad! TREAT HER WELL!
- Help keep the Succubus well! Do not force her into anything and let her have her time!
- The Master must treat her like a Wife! No matter how, even if it goes against your principles, TREAT HER WELL!
- Do not force the succubus, do not bother your servant with things that hurt her, be kind! She also has feelings, and if she offered you this contract, it's because she wants only you! After all! This is a contract only given to Virgin Succubi!
- Until death do you part! Or rather! Until Hell brings you together again!

Dante read the contract without any reaction; in fact, he was so shocked that he couldn't say anything, his deadpan expression clearly his response. This was literally a Master and Servant contract... but at the same time... Why did it feel like something else?
'You should stop talking to women, you only attract the crazies...' Voralith said in his thoughts as he seemed to agree, however, he couldn't deny that this would help him a lot with what was to come, besides Aaralyn and Velryna, this one named Vex could help him with his plan.
'Oh, seriously...' He sighed slowly and pricked his finger, pressing it against the contract, and soon the paper in his hand began to burn.
As Dante did this, Succubus Vex began to tremble with excitement; in fact, if anyone saw her... well, they would think she was having a nervous breakdown or something, epilepsy...
'What's happening to her, Voralith?' Dante questioned seeing the Succubus trembling with anxiety, and Voralith simply replied, 'She's a succubus...' Dante didn't understand but a second later.
"Darling!" She screamed and jumped on Dante rubbing her sinful body all over his, starting to kiss his cheeks, neck, and her hand went to a place that Dante quickly pushed her away from.
"Stop!" He yelled and the Succubus startled and pouted. "Let your wife take care of you!" She yelled back.
Dante, not understanding what was happening, tried to find answers with Voralith, after all, she was a clever old lady!
'Don't look at me like that, I'm not your Wikipedia.' She replied and Dante blinked twice. 'Do you know what Wikipedia is?' He asked, and she huffed, 'Huf! For your information, in my time, people used Wikipedia for everything!'
'That's not what I asked...'
Dante was definitely tired of that day, in fact, tired is blasphemy for everything he was feeling in his body, he had just made a master and servant contract with a succubus, he was exhausted, and the next day he still had to go to a ball! Damn, his life was chaos again!
Well, not just his.
"Father, this is the last time I ask for this. Cancel this party, I will not marry." The voice of the woman that echoed in the room was none other than Velryna's, who for the eighth time was facing Emperor Adam head-on.
"And I have already told you that the party will happen." He retorted as he stared at her, the hair on his face preventing Velryna from seeing his eyes, but his expression... was complicated despite showing authority. "I hope these are your last words before the party. Leave." He said firmly, yet his hidden hand trembled slightly.
"I thought you cared about me, for a second I thought when you called me back it was to put your head in place and decide what is best for your Kingdom, but you disappointed me again." Velryna said as tears fell from her eyes, she looked at him again and pronounced.
"Get ready for the coronation day, who knows it will be quite a spectacle for the princess herself to kill herself in front of the Emperor." Velryna bluffed and walked away and slammed the door shut with such aggression.
That she had the doorknob completely destroyed.
Emperor Adam sighed heavily as he looked at the door. 'If you only knew what I have been doing to keep you alive.'
