Currently, I am relaxing in a hot steamy bath while Marley is hand-feeding me lightning cherries, which turned out to be quite enjoyable, even more so than relaxing by myself. Elaine immensely dislikes the idea of someone present while I'm bathing, especially if the person is a woman, but she is doing one of her little jobs outside of Yggdrasil, so; hopefully, Elaine doesn't find out; otherwise, she'll get quite upset.
"Ahh, yes. I should relax much more often." Said Elif with a smile as he opened his mouth, to which Marley dropped another lightning cherry inside.
Unfortunately, it seemed like my time of lazing around had come to an end because of a certain someone.
"Your Highness, an envelope with the Divine Fairy Clan crest has arrived, and it's addressed directly to you." Announced Illumia blandly after having entered the bath and slightly bowing before Elif, though she couldn't see Elif's appearance with all the steam in the air.
"Alas, why did it have to be while I was enjoying myself? Let me see the envelope; I'm curious about what was so important that Eyvor didn't just tell me whenever we communicate through the crystal ball." Muttered Elif with a sigh before grabbing the envelope Illumia floated over to him.
Injecting Qi into the crest on the envelope, causing it to glow before it, along with the envelope, dissipated, leaving me with nothing but the contents of the envelope in my hand.
~I, Eyvor Aasveig, current heir to the Divine Fairy Clan, would like to invite Elif August, Crown Prince of the Immortal Elven Empire, to my twelfth birthday celebration. The date of the celebration shall be in one week; I hope to see you there, Prince Elif.~
'Huh, that girl, how come she didn't tell me beforehand? Now I've only got one week to acquire a present for her. Such a hassle.' Thought Elif with a sigh as he destroyed the invitation letter into ashes.
"Welp, it seems like we're going to go on a little adventure to the Divine Fairy Clan. I'm actually somewhat excited to finally leave the Empire and experience the outside world. What about you, Marley? It'll be your first time leaving the Empire as well." Said Elif with a slight smile as he stood up from the bath, allowing no one to view his nude lower body as he had been wearing pants this whole time.
"I'm also excited, though I will miss spending time with Sarah." Replied Marley with a less than eager smile as she stored the bowl of lighting cherries in her dimension ring before standing up and following Elif.
"Maybe I should start calling you sister complex Marley; it's got a nice ring to it." Declared Elif with a smirk as he stepped out of the bath and headed to his clothing room.
"That's rich coming from you, your Highness. If I recall, didn't you force me to become a Royal maid for a month all because I annoyed Her Highness?" Replied Marley with a mischievous smirk as she stopped beside the door leading to Elif's clothing room.
"Tch, touché." Remarked Elif, clicking his tongue in slight annoyance before closing behind him and entering his clothing room.
Drying myself with Qi, I scanned the room with my divine sense, looking for the most suitable clothing for Eyvor's birthday before settling on something quite unique; however, it would allow me to display the full charms and bewitching abilities that my heavenly appearance produced. It also matched my golden earrings, so that was a plus.
Once I was fully clothed, I stood before the mirror, and when I did so, I instantly got nervous. Standing in the mirror was a young Elven man of dark skin; silver hair with a streak of purple; a perfect physique with flawless skin, and captivating purple eyes. Combining all of those, you get the epitome of perfection, a young man with such a heavenly appearance, demeanor, and aura that could make even an Immortal feel inferior. Appearance-wise, of course.
"My goodness, I think I've fallen in love." Muttered Elif narcissistically with a smirk as he began performing an untold number of poses; if pictures were released to the public, every pose would cause an immense number of women, and some men, to climax.
'I've never tried seducing someone before, but with my appearance, I should be able to make that stale Illumia feel something. Right?' Thought Elif, a random thought popping up out of nowhere.
Having set myself a weird and random goal of seducing Illumia, I swiftly exited the room, and when I did so, I noticed the bath was no longer full of steam, and I could actually see the entire room.
"T-That is quite a peculiar outfit, your Highness?" Said Marley as she complimented Elif, though she found his outfit of choice to be very weird.
"I know, but it fits me, does it not?" Said Elif with a smirk, testing his seductive skills as he reached forward before slightly lifting the chin of the now beautiful adult Marley while staring intensely into her brown eyes.
"Y-Yes." Replied Marley while stuttering with blushed cheeks as she tried avoiding eye contact with Elif.
Seeing as I was successful, I let go of her before heading into my room, only to find Illumia standing by the door with her eyes closed. With her height, I wouldn't be able to lift her chin as I did with Marley, so I went with a different approach. Arriving near her, I reached forward and grabbed her hand, which caused her to open her eyes and look at me in confusion.
"I've never realized it before, Illumia, but now that I take a good look at you, you're quite gorgeous. I'm sure an older woman like you has a lot of sexual experience; maybe you wouldn't mind teaching me valuable, hands-on lessons for my future wife?" Asked Elif with a captivating smile while gently rubbing Illumia's hand onto his exposed chest, though the reaction he got was not one he ever thought he would get from the stale Illumia.
Seeing her just blankly staring at me, I internally smirked as I thought I had successfully managed to seduce her; however, I couldn't be further from the truth. Retracting her hand away from my chest, Illumia reached down to the nearby table and grabbed a teapot before dumping the contents onto her body, causing her clothes to get wet and stick to her body. She then cut a hole in her clothes, starting from the base of her neck down to about the midsection of her breasts, allowing for a great view of her ample cleavage. Next, she bent over while purposely squeezing her breasts together, causing her already voluptuous breasts to look even more enticing as they looked like they were trying to force their way out from her clothes by the hole she made.
Illumia then lifted my chin with her hand, causing my eyes to meet with hers while also releasing a sweet aroma, and to top it all off, she spoke to me with a voice I never thought possible from her.
"I'm not into young boys, little Prince." Said Illumia with a sultry voice while biting her lip, causing Elif's heartbeat to subtly speed up while his face slightly blushed.
After a few seconds of blankly staring into Illumia's captivating eyes, I swiftly backed away while placing a hand on my beating heart, and when I realized what had just happened; I felt incredibly embarrassed, humiliated, and furious. Angrily staring at Illumia, I saw her slowly wink at me, which only further angered me.
"You! You!" Said Elif repeatedly while pointing at Illumia as he was too angry and embarrassed to speak coherently.
Closing my eyes and shutting off my senses to the outside, I began taking deep breaths to calm my raging heart; a few moments later, I opened my eyes while blankly staring at Illumia.
"Pff." Muttered Marley as she tried her best to hold back her laughter.
"You! How were you able to do that!?" Asked Elif as he ignored Marley while eyeing Illumia in both anger and interest.
"When I was younger, my Mother had taught me a little bit of her seductive skills before she died; however, it mostly comes naturally." Replied Illumia with a light smile as she injected Qi into her clothes, causing them to stitch back together while also drying off.
"Firstly, why would a parent teach you that? Secondly, what do you mean by it comes naturally?" Said Elif as he angrily folded his arms while aggressively tapping his foot.
"Well, to answer your first question, your Highness, I'm not full Elf. My Mother was a Demon, a Succubus, to be precise, and my Father was an Elf. While from your perspective, it may seem abnormal why a Mother would teach a little girl how to seduce the opposite sex, to us, Succubus, it's normal for girls to participate in sexual acts from a young age. Of course, I never did, as my Father was greatly against it. Now the answer to your second question, I'm half Succubus; it's in my blood to be able to seduce the opposite sex, even if I don't really like it." Explained Illumia with a slight smile.
'Well, that would explain her unnaturally large breasts for an Elf.' Thought Elif as he eyed Illumia, full of irritation.
"Let's get the record straight here. First off, you didn't seduce me, Illumia. You merely caught me off guard; that's it. This wouldn't have happened if I had known you were half Succubus. Secondly, no one will speak of this matter to anyone, and I mean absolutely no one!" Ordered Elif seriously as he eyed both Illumia and Marley.
"I understand, your Highness. Yes, your Highness." Replied Marley and Illumia, respectively, though the smirk on their faces irritated Elif to no end.
'And later, you will teach me some of those seductive skills your Mother taught you.' Said Elif via divine sense, to which Illumia merely nodded her head.
"Tch, let's go. Elaine has just returned, and I wish to visit her." Said Elif as he exited the room, hoping Elaine's presence would improve his mood.
