Chapter 171: The Seduction Game
The pink-haired succubus paid no heed to Caroline, who she had cornered against the desk. With one hand, she lifted her secretary's chin, her gaze then drifting down to the tight bulging black suit, stretched by the fullness of her chest, making one wish to undo every strained button on the white blouse underneath.
Retracting her gaze, Lena leaned close to Caroline's ear, her breath warm against the secretary's earlobe as she whispered seductively:
"What do you wish to learn from him? The art of seducing others? Or are you just pretending to study, secretly craving to experience being seduced yourself?"
A blush quickly climbed up from Caroline's earlobes to her cheeks, and in a fluster, she hurriedly moved away from Lena, only then realizing the true meaning behind Lena's use of "persuasion" – it was all about seduction.
Observing Caroline's pristine and easily flustered demeanor, Lena shook her head in mild frustration, a look of disappointment on her face.
"Caroline, do you remember what we are?" Lena asked sternly.
"We're succubus, understand? Look at yourself now, it's embarrassing! You're not fulfilling your role as a succubus at all!"
Caroline had endured Lena's scolding, but the accusation of being inefficient at work struck a nerve. After straightening her disheveled clothes and adjusting her glasses, she defiantly retorted:
"I'm sorry, but I don't understand milady. Didn't you praise my work in the Sealed City earlier?"
"What was the purpose of sending you to Sealed City, Caroline?" Lena questioned.
"You asked me to transform it into a city of freedom and equality, making it a pivotal hub for the coexistence of humans and non-humans," Caroline summarized Lena's plan succinctly.
The pink-haired succubus seemed even more infuriated.
"And what about your actions? Purging the nobles? Investing in infrastructure to provide jobs? Regulating prices and markets? Acquiring media to control public opinion? You missed the most crucial point!"
"And that is?" Caroline inquired, puzzled.
"Seduction! What is our belief as succubus? How do you save a teetering nation? What's the quickest way to reconcile two races? Seduction!" Lena exclaimed emphatically.
"Is this also for your confidant and the Empress?" Caroline asked.
"No, this one is the exact opposite. They must never find out about it. You need to secretly contact the Holy Kingdom and ensure this gets into the hands of their Goddess!"
A smug, conspiratorial smile spread across Lena's face.
'Fond of forming alliances, huh?'
'Enjoy ostracizing succubus, do they?'
'Thinking they can outwit me? How laughable!'
Lena was eager to see the reaction of Suthia, the Divine Lady of Holy Kingdom, upon receiving this orb and witnessing the "recordings" it contained.
Caroline was still processing this when she carefully stored the two crystal orbs Lena had given her. As Lena was about to leave, Caroline had one last crucial report about Meanwhile, Caroline was still in shock. "Hand it over to... the Goddess of the Holy Kingdom?"
"Yes, don't worry about security. This orb has several layers of restrictions I've placed on it. It was originally set to be opened only by Suthia, but I've just modified it, so now you can also see its contents."
"I can?" Caroline was astonished.
Being trusted and given such a secretive item, limited only to the Goddess by Lena herself, must contain something incredibly profound and possibly critical secrets. Could she really be privy to such information?
"Yes," Lena confirmed, "because I think you need to learn a bit more about being a succubus."
Caroline was still processing this when she carefully stored the two crystal orbs Lena had given her. As Lena was about to leave, Caroline had one last crucial report about the remnants of the Old Alliance, particularly the minister, Charl.
"Milady, Regarding the remaining member of the Old Alliance, Minister Charl, just before you arrived, my subordinates informed me that he seems to have disappeared. Should we send someone to follow up?"
"No need," Lena cut her off abruptly. "He's part of a deal I'm making with someone else."
