The Priest presented the bride and the groom with a ceremonial dagger and said, "You may now seal your marriage." He held a goblet in front of them and said, "Make a cut in your palm and drip your blood in this goblet. It will signify that you two are one from today onwards."
The goblet had a replica magic potion that would connect the two souls and bond them together. It was a way to validate the marriage of the Royals.
This particular marriage tradition was borrowed by the succubus from the King's memory of his actual marriage with Auvera. This was the tradition specifically followed by the Royals of Wyverndale.
The King had married all of his wives in their own Kingdom, following their own tradition. The concubines were also sent to the King by following their own tradition.
And the only one who he had married following this tradition was Auvera. The King had held an intimate marriage ceremony inside the Palace and had married her there because Auvera's family were not wealthy enough to hold the function that was lavish enough to uphold the reputation of the King.
Both Dragomir and 'Auvera' did as the Priest had asked. They made a small cut on their palm and dropped their blood on the goblet. After both of them dropped their blood, the color of the potion in that goblet changed from blue to red.
"And now I pronounce you man and wife." The Priest finally declared that and concluded the wedding ceremony.
"You may kiss the bride," the Priest glanced at the King and asked him to complete the ceremony. It was the moment that Dragomir was waiting for. Dragomir gave a bewitching smile to the bride and he lifted the veil from Auvera's face. He wrapped his arms around his bride, pulled her, and kissed her passionately.
Unlike the last night, King Dragomir did not feel any pain, nor did he realize that it was not reality but some nasty trick played by a succubus. It was because the succubus had not yet taken his life force from him. She was planning to save that for later when they would consummate the marriage.
After the ceremony was over, the King entertained his guests for some time. Though his body was present there in front of the guests, his mind was with Auvera. He could not wait to go and meet his wife. He spent some time with the guests and after a while, he took a leave from them.
King Dragomir made his way towards the newlywed's chamber. The corridor to that chamber was decorated with several kinds of flowers. He inhaled the sweet scent given off by the flowers and reached in front of the door. The door was also beautifully decorated with all kinds of flowers.
Dragomir took a deep breath and then opened the door to the room. His heart was filled with anticipation and excitement. He was ready to meet his beautiful Auvera, who was now his wife. Little did he know that a dangerous being was disguised as his lover and was ready to hunt him down.
The succubus was sitting on the bed decorated with lovely red roses' petals. She was pretending to be very shy. She had her veil covering her face and she was looking down at the floor while smiling softly.
King Dragomir approached the succubus like a lion ready to pounce on a lamb. He had waited enough for this day to come. And now that it was finally here, he was taken over by his inner desire. He held the succubus's hand and then pulled her close to him.
He lifted her veil from her face and without saying any words, he began to kiss his 'wife' passionately.
The succubus had him right where she wanted. She wrapped her hands around his neck and pushed her tongue deeper into his mouth. It was not the King taking the lead anymore, it was her.
After kissing the King for some time, she was ready to take the King to the final step. She broke from the kiss and took off his crown from his head. She threw the crown on one corner of the large bed. Likewise, she unbuckled his belt and threw the sword on the bed as well. After that, she vigorously began to undress the King.
The King, lost in his lust, did not even realize that that was not how his beloved Auvera would have acted. She was too shy and naïve for all this. And in the heat of the moment, he started to undress her as well.
The succubus led the King towards the final act, she led him to the bed and pushed him down. She sat on top of the King, leaned down, and ran her nasty fingers all over his body. She held his hand and sucked on his finger to arouse him even more. And after the long seduction, she was finally ready, ready for the consummation.
The succubus began to take away the King's life force when the consummation was at its peak. The King literally felt his life being sucked out of him while the succubus felt exhilarated when she was slowly absorbing the King's life force.
Her whole body was covered with sweat because of the new power that was entering her body. She flipped her hair backward while moaning loudly. And she lifted her head outward to face the ceiling. She was having the best day after hundreds of years. She had long forgotten how this felt like, which made the whole thing even more exciting for her.
But right when she was moaning and enjoying the moment, the succubus felt as though a sharp object had penetrated her stomach. Her moan turned into a wince and she let out a loud outcry because the pain was real.
She looked down at her stomach, stunned, and she saw that Dragomir had managed to grab his sword and had pierced through her. Green blood was flushing out from her wound.
"What the hell… how…" she was grunting through her pain, trying to understand how he was able to withstand her seduction.
The fake world that she had built started to crumble apart right in front of her eyes. She wanted to escape from the dream world but she was too hurt to use her magic to escape.
Dragomir turned her over and then pinned her down on the bed. And he shouted furiously, "You are not escaping today. How dare you try to deceive me by stealing the appearance of my Auvera? Show your true form, you demon."
When his life force was being sucked out, he suddenly remembered yesterday's dream because he was feeling similar pain. Today it was only ten times worse. He realized that someone was taking the form of Auvera and was toying with him. And when she was distracted, he grabbed the sword from the side and impaled the sword in her gut.
As the dream world was already falling apart, the succubus started to revert back into her original form. Wings, horns, and tail started to protrude from her body.
The King was caught off-guard by this sudden revelation.. He inhaled sharply and jumped back because he was not expecting that demon to be a succubus.
