"Prince Yale, Sir Albert. May I have the pleasure to know the reason for your visit today?"
Yale smirked and said, "I know that you're observing our movements."
Erica's expression remained unchanged as she simply said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Really? Well, if you're not going to be truthful about it, then I don't think I can invite you to join our party."
"Eh?" Erica widened her eyes, dumbfounded. She thought she heard it wrong, but Yale reinforced his statement.
"That's right. I thought that since you have been following our movements, I would like to give you a chance to observe us in the VIP Seat. But I guess I'm wrong…" Yale let out a long sigh.
In that instant, Erica immediately lowered her head. "I apologize, Prince Yale. I know that I have made a mistake by following your movement, but I would like a second chance to follow you. Please give me the chance to join your party."
"Hmm…" Yale didn't reply immediately, raising the pressure on Erica.
"What do you think, Teacher? I have told you that they're monitoring us." Yale sighed.
"Whatever." Albert shrugged. "Actually, we're planning to ask you to join us when we're gone adventuring. In exchange for becoming our support and helping us in our adventure, you can observe us directly.
"Of course, we won't tell you anything about our power and other stuff. I think this is a beneficial deal for you, right?" Albert put on a gentle smile.
"…" Erica obviously had nothing to say. It was absolutely an enticing agreement. After all, she had been compiling information from various sources. And when she investigated some corruption in the city, she would usually get it directly from the city officials.
In other words, she could easily get the information if she came directly to the culprit. So, getting the chance to observe Albert and Yale in the front seat was a big chance.
And with Lilith prioritizing Albert and his power, she truly had to do this even if she hated it. Though, after talking with Albert during the progress of transferring the building to him, she realized that Albert was actually a gentle and mature person. So, she didn't think she would suffer when following him.
"I'd love to join your party. No, please let me join your party." Erica lowered her head, begging for the chance.
Luckily, Erica wasn't someone from the Pride Kingdom or she wouldn't be begging like this.
"Well, that's all we want to say." Albert sighed and looked at Yale. "Since we're done, let's go buy some necessities for the expedition."
"Alright."
"Ah, before that, let me handle the necessities. I will provide everything."
"No, it's fine. This is a mutual agreement." Albert shook his head, declining her offer.
"At the very least, let me provide the food. I actually can cook, so I will just buy spices and a few things."
Albert thought for a moment and agreed. "Fine. Also, I need to make sure that you're not going to sneak inside our new house, right?"
"Of course not. I swear with my name that there won't be anyone entering your place." She smiled.
"Alright. That's all." Albert nodded. "The mission is the one you posted in the guild."
"The Satyr?"
"Yes."
"I understand."
"We will meet at the west gate and set off in the morning. The journey will take at least three to five days."
"Yes. I won't be late." Erica smiled.
When they were outside, Albert said, "Actually, I want you to buy other necessities alone. I'm going to pay a visit to the pixies, telling them that the Horny Jail is completed. After that, I will test the energy from the Horny Jail to see whether the pixie will take our offer or not."
"Then, how about Teacher doing his job here and buying the necessities? I will call the pixies."
"Nah, the night is dangerous. I can't allow you to go."
"Not really dangerous. The surrounding area is cleaned periodically, so there won't be any monsters around."
"Even so, I will do the job. Just take care of other things for me." Albert smiled and patted his head. "I'm your teacher. Let me do the job."
"I… understand." He wanted to be useful for Albert, but it seemed he couldn't do it anymore.
…
While they were doing their experiments, Erica was kneeling in front of the mirror, reporting the situation to the queen.
"So, what's going on over there? To think you're this fast in reporting the matter to me. Did something big occur there?" The Succubus Queen, Lilith, asked with a serious expression.
"Yes, my queen. I have a few things that need to be reported." Erica nodded furiously.
"Tell me then."
"First, we have given Sir Albert and Prince Yale the building."
"Good. Knowing they accepted this gift is enough for now. At the very least, they don't dislike us or something." Lilith nodded, satisfied. "What else?"
"Second, I am not very sure about its purpose, but they have renovated the building. The windows have been plugged. Unfortunately, I couldn't come inside… I didn't know why but it felt like something inside my heart was telling me that the building had become dangerous and I needed to stay away from it."
"…" Lilith fell silent, not understanding what happened with only her explanation.
They were not aware that it was a Horny Jail and its purpose was to imprison horny people. Obviously, as the race known by their lustful character, the building was their bane of existence.
"Breaking in to investigate the building is possible, but I won't risk it for now. Anyway, just monitor what they're doing during the day. Make sure you're not suspicious."
"Understood." Erica agreed without hesitation. After a momentary silence, she continued, "Third, we have confirmed that the pixies are going to be staying in that place. However, it seems like they're working instead of free-loading."
"Hmm?" Lilith frowned. "What do you mean?"
"After giving the information about the pixies, Sir Albert and Prince Yale finished the job within a day. Hence, I checked the pixies the next day.
"The pixies had become far different from the past. They were not contaminated with Lust Energy anymore. They have become pure."
"Pure?" Lilith widened her eyes. "If I am not wrong, their pure self can…"
"Yes. They can absorb all sorts of energy, including our Lust Energy. However, Sir Albert seems to have promised them Pure Energy, so they won't be contaminated anymore as long as some of them work there every day.
"However, I am not aware of what the work is. I'm afraid the pixie queen is going to order them to stop talking about Sir Albert and his project soon, so I might not be able to find more information from them.
"Also, if Sir Albert can provide them with Pure Energy constantly, the pixies will get stronger sooner or later."
"This is quite big." Lilith frowned and looked down, contemplating the report. "What I see right now is not how the pixie can become stronger… It's the probability of the pixies joining hands with Albert."
"Joining hands?" Erica sucked a cold breath.
"Just like Yale, if Albert provides them with his power, they're going to be the bane of our race. Well, I have my own thoughts about that, but their group will certainly become a big threat to us. For now, I want to observe Albert as much as possible to see whether he has another plan in mind."
"Understood." Erica complied. "In that case, you may want to listen to this. Sir Albert and Prince Yale have actually asked me to join their party…"
"What?!" Lilith dropped her jaw in shock.
Erica began explaining the conversation from start to finish.
"This is… Even I am tempted to see his power. I mean, this power is a double-edged sword. It can harm us or help us. So, I want to see the extent of his power to the point I want to go there myself.
"Unfortunately, I can't go there since I need to govern the kingdom…" Lilith let out a long sigh. Compared to other kings, she was the most casual leader. That was also why the succubus never refused the jobs even though they knew they would need to go to other countries to serve as prostitutes.
And her friendliness made them feel honored. This was why Erica didn't hesitate to volunteer herself to go with Albert and Yale.
"Alright. Ask someone to manage the brothel when you go. Although you will still be the manager, I want you to focus on Albert for the time being. If possible, try to entice him with everything, from wealth to desire."
"Understood." Erica thought for a moment and said, "I believe they have their own purpose as well, but I'm not very sure about it."
"What do you mean?"
"I apologize for being presumptuous, but Sir Yale has always been the one administering the pressure in the conversation while Sir Albert has been the kindest."
"Well, his character is admirable." Lilith nodded in understanding. "Anyway, try to get closer to Albert and keep observing Yale."
"I have received your command."
"Good. This is good news." Lilith chuckled as she stopped the transmission.
…
A few hours later.
Albert had finally returned with three pixies. He had bonked one random person. Although he felt bad about him, he had no choice other than to test the Horny Jail right now because he would be breaking his promise if he waited until he returned from the mission.
So, after bonking that person, he went to the pixies and brought them back to the Horny Jail.
Before opening the room, Albert got a notification.
[You've acquired 8 Bonk Bites.]
[Absorb?]
[You've acquired 38 EXP.]
[Absorb?]
'Bonkey, what is this?' Albert furrowed his eyebrows.
[This is what I meant by Lust Energy and Pure Energy. Lust Energy will be absorbed as Bonk Bites and Pure Energy will become EXP. You have the option to absorb them or not.]
[If you don't absorb the Pure Energy but suck the Lust Energy, it will remain inside the room. It will allow others to enter and absorb this energy. Also, the room will be helping them suck the energy, so the process won't take too long.]
[If you don't absorb the Lust Energy, but absorb the Pure Energy, it will become a potent poison that will make anyone who enters it become horny. So, I suggest you always absorb the Lust Energy for the Bonk Bites.]
[Lastly, if you choose not to absorb all of them, the Lust Energy will contaminate the Pure Energy and the effect will go bad. That's the same thing as the one coming from the succubus. So, I don't recommend doing this.]
'I see.' Albert nodded with a serious expression. 'Can the energy be stacked?'
[Yes. I know that you're not always in here, so you can keep filling the energy. If you have explored more about Horny Jail in the future, you might be able to absorb it remotely.]
'That's good. The potential is there.' Albert was satisfied and chose to absorb the Lust Energy.
[You've acquired 8 Bonk Bites.]
After that, he opened the door with Yale and the pixies watching behind him.
They immediately felt the Pure Energy inside the room. For some reason, it remained inside as if there was an invisible barrier that prevented them from flowing outside.
Albert pointed at the room and said, "Here you go. This is just a small part of your reward, so why don't you try this one and tell me your thoughts?"
The pixies nodded with a serious expression and entered the room.
They were dumbstruck when they felt the richness of the energy inside the room. It even naturally entered their body, allowing them to gain a huge growth with just a few seconds inside.
"This is… so rich."
"And this is just a small part…"
The pixies were stunned, not knowing what to say.
"Actually, I have something to ask. Can you guys cook or provide water?" Albert asked.
The pixies made a sad expression and shook their heads.
"I see. Then, if I provide you with money, can you buy some food and drink for the people inside?"
"Yes. We can."
"Good. I will explain the agreement, the rule, and other stuff to you guys. So, you can tell your queen about it and start working tomorrow. How's that?" Albert smiled.
"Yes. We will bring the information to the others."
"Good."
Albert spent the night explaining to them how the Horny Jail worked and what they needed to do as a worker of the Horny Jail.
