104 First Nigh

"Sooo, what is our dinner this time, my dear?"

Asked Itori as she looked at the excellently arranged steak from Demon Drake before her. It looked very beautiful and very tasty just from one look.

This was something that Lucien cooked for her, so she was very happy. She also knew that meat of the stronger species could increase their RC Level, because of this Itori had very high RC Level. Already more than ten thousand, as this was Lucien's achievement. He was constantly giving her blood essences refined from demons and fused with his own blood. This was in order to prepare her when she would undergo the Devourification Process in the future.

"Demon Drake."

Answered Lucien honestly. Itori already knew about many demons, but she didn't finish reading the entire book about demons and so, so she didn't know every demon out of there. Even Lucien didn't know every demon out of there, but because he was connected to records of the Akashic Records, he could easily access information about most of the demon race. If his authority was higher he could access all races, including those rare and extremely strong ones, like Heavenly Demons and co.

"What is Demon Drake?"

Asked Itori hearing his answer. She didn't know about Demon Drake. Lucien smiled faintly and recalled everything he knew about Demon Drake.

"Demon Drake is demonized drake in reality. Drakes are subspecies of the real Dragon Race and thus they are many times weaker. Demon Drake isn't that strong creature and fortunately, when it crossed through the portal and arrived at our world it was already wounded so grandfather managed to kill it quickly. Demon Drakes are rather small, only three meters in height and five meters in length, even though they have wings, they can't fly for a long time or can't fly at all."

Drakes weren't that rare and in every realm where were dragons, you would find drakes for sure. Adult Drake has strength around Mid-Grade Viscount to High-Grade Viscount. Only a minority of them could reach the Count Rank or higher as it highly depends on their bloodline. Drakes are subspecies of dragons and dragons are the originators of their bloodline. That means they can't reach higher cultivation as their bloodline originators.

After they have finished eating the meat of the Demon Drake, Lucien took Itori to the Christmas tree where several cases already waited for her. She was surprised to see this and also eager to know what presents she would get.

"Open that small one first."

Said, Lucien, as he pointed at the smalled package under the giants Christmas tree. It was decently packed and looked tiny compared to other packages. Itori took the little package and unpacked it. Beneath the wrapping paper, there was a steel box with words Tiffany on it. Her eyes shined when she saw it and immediately opened it.

Inside the box was the necklace, it had ancient design and was lined with diamonds with one blood ruby in the middle of it. The entire necklace was made of the pure gold and it looked extremely beautiful. Lucien then took it from her hands and wrapped it around her neck.

To this Itori gave him one very passionate long kiss, before she returned back to reality from her endless happiness.

"Thank you very much, it's sooooo beautiful."

Lucien nodded his head and then they proceed to unpack rest of the packages there. Besides the necklace, Lucien also gave her a bunch of blood essences and some old books on martial arts that suited her. These books were the one he got from the Ancestral Shrine of the Shi Xue Clan.

Itori quickly looked at all those blood essences shining there with bloody red color and also an ancient looking book, which was named 'Basic of the Martial', the book was talking about basic martial arts and was used to create a foundation, a firm one for the cultivator.

"Do you like it?"

Asked Lucien in a gentle voice as he pulled Itori into an embrace. She almost had tears at corners of her eyes as looked at all of the presents from him. Itori started passionately kissing Lucien on his lips. After a short period of kissing, she started to undress, until she was totally naked. Lucien admired her beauty and he too started to undress.

Soon, only sound of pleasure and moans were echoing through the estate. Fortunately, the entire estate was empty so no one would see them or hear them. Curtains and sunblinds were covering the windows so even from the outside nobody could look inside the room.

=============================================

25th December, next day morning, Lucien's estate

Both Lucien and Itori were laying naked on the floor of the living room, covered only by simple fur blanked. Lucien was one who woke up first and he looked at Itori who was sleeping beside him. On the blanket, there was a bit stain of the blood, from yesterday's night activity.

Lucien silently stood and clothed himself to the simple black kimono, with golden dragon pattern, the same golden dragon pattern as was the flag of the Holy Niflheim Empire. He went to the kitchen to make some coffee for him and for Itori. After coffee was done, he took the two cups together with him and returned to the living room.

Itori was already up and she was covering herself with the fur blanket as she looked at Lucien with a blissful smile on her face. Lucien gave her one cup of coffee and sat beside her and sipped from his cup of coffee.

"How is it?"

Asked Lucien about his coffee, he knew that he wasn't very good at making coffee but at least he tried to make it.

"Good, but you were better."

Answered Itori as she licked her lips seductively. When Lucien saw this, he immediately took her as they were going to do the deed again. Once again, moans were going through the entire estate, with the source of them being the living room.
