Emma glanced down at her hands, feeling torn about opening up about her legs.
It's not that she didn't want to share, it's just that no one had ever asked her about them before.
Her so-called "friends," the fake ones, were always too scared to broach the topic, fearing her reaction and the queen's punishment if they upset her.
Plus, she had a sneaky suspicion that they were only hanging around because they either wanted to tap into her power or because someone had threatened them into being friends.
Her Momma, mainly.
But this guy... he was just a perv who touched her butt, yet there was no deception in his eyes.
At least, that's what her skill was telling her.
He seemed genuinely pure in his intentions from the get-go.
Taking a deep breath, she decided she wasn't going to discuss her mother anyway.
There was no reason for a total stranger to know about her mom's secret.
'He'll probably just leave tomorrow anyway, and who knows what he'll do with that info. Best to just keep quiet about it.'
"It... it's a curse."
She stammered, barely able to get the words out.
Almost immediately, Kaisen tilted his head and asked:
"Because of your mother?"
"What the fuck!"
Emma's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
She was completely stunned by his question.
'What the fuck is wrong with him? He knows? How? Who is he?'
"W-what are you talking about?"
She frantically asked, her voice trembling with disbelief.
Kaisen just nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders.
"That your mother is a succubus."
Emma's jaw fell open, and he couldn't help but imagine how his tongue would dance across it, or his...
'No! Bad boy, Kaisen. You promised her, remember?'
Just then, another system message popped up.
[Quick Time Event failed.]
'Dammit. Should have just caressed her pussy.'
It was the first time he'd failed a quest since starting out, and he didn't like it one bit.
Losing 30 lust points—30 points that could only be gained by being a pervert—just because he decided to be nice to a cripple.
But then again, maybe it wasn't all bad in the long run.
Emma stammered, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"You wanted me to treat you like my other friends. This is how I treat them. If you strike my body, then you should also get it back. Simple as that."
Kaisen replied, his tone matter-of-fact.
"S-stupid. I-I didn't hurt you."
Emma protested, her voice wavering slightly.
"You punched me, right? That counts as hurt. You should also suffer."
He pinched her nipple again, giving it a little squeeze, and Emma couldn't help but let out another moan.
The sensation was surprising, sending a tingle through her body that she hadn't expected.
She felt a mix of pleasure and discomfort, but mostly pleasure, coursing through her as he continued to play with her sensitive skin.
He pulled his hand away, grinning mischievously, while Emma looked at him with teary eyes.
She held her breasts, as if they hurt, her expression a mix of confusion and discomfort.
It was clear she didn't know what to make of the sudden rush of sensations he had stirred up within her.
"If you were Alice, I would've pounded your pussy so hard that you would've woken up everyone in the palace."
Kaisen teased, flashing a mischievous grin.
Emma's blush deepened at the vivid image that formed in her mind.
"Shut up! I don't wanna hear about your perverse stuff. Just forget it. Tell me about my mother. The truth."
Emma demanded, eager to change the subject and focus on more pressing matters.
She fixed him with a determined gaze, refusing to back down. He let out a sigh of resignation.
"Fine. You win."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"So what's the truth?"
She pressed eagerly, unable to contain her curiosity any longer.
"You really wanna know?"
He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes! You made me wait too long!"
Emma exclaimed, her lips forming a playful pout.
He started telling the story, chuckling as he recalled the events.
"She told me to hang back while my friends left. Then she started going on about how lonely she was, and before I knew it, she was acting all dramatic, like a demoness or something."
He raised his hand and mimicked Queen Roslyn's voice, making Emma burst into laughter.
For the next half-hour, Kaisen and Emma laughed their hearts out, forgetting all their worries and troubles as they enjoyed each other's company.
