Chapter Title: How Nice the Moonlight Is
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lilit usually insisted on wearing black clothes.
She claimed they suited her fashion sense the best.
Of course, with her flawless looks and figure, she could pull off a dress or even a sackcloth without issue.
But right now, the Lilit standing before him had transformed into a siren far too dangerous for any man.
Beneath the moonlight in the garden, a woman wearing nothing but a white shirt gazed down at him.
Gone was her usual confident smile, tinged with a hint of haughtiness. Instead, her lips curved into a happy grin that seemed embarrassed by her own appearance yet overwhelmed by how lovable he was.
Her ruby eyes sparkled as if dripping with honey, impossibly sweet. Her hair, catching the bright moonlight, cascaded like a waterfall, shattering into radiant silver.
Her porcelain skin, smooth as silk, stood out even more under the soft glow, and through the thin shirt, glimpses of her curves and intimate contours dazzled the eyes.
If not for the horns sprouting from her head, anyone might have believed an angel or goddess had descended to earth.
Her slightly provocative pose, as if proudly displaying herself, added the perfect finishing touch to her allure.
‘...Heart, don’t act up.’
Sion unconsciously clutched his chest.
He’d been around plenty of stunning beauties, but he’d never seen a sight this hazardous to his heart.
If he kept staring at Lilit like this, it might be too much for his little guy. Sion closed his eyes for a moment, taking deep breaths to calm himself.
‘Tch, haah.’
...Fuck, calm down my ass.
He was dying to open his eyes and gaze at the woman—no, the goddess—standing before him.
“What are you doing?”
Lilit’s voice, brimming with happiness, made Sion snap his eyes open and look up again.
Her hands rested lightly on her hips, as if asking what she thought of her look.
“Uh, I...”
“Lilit-nim.”
“Yeah?”
“...Your underwear...”
At Sion’s words, Lilit glanced down at herself with a ‘Hm?’
Then she grinned mischievously, leaning forward as she approached him.
One hand grasped the top part where all the buttons were undone, the other clutching the shirt hem barely covering her lower half, before she spoke.
“I’m not wearing any.”
Boom!
Another massive blow struck his heart.
Who knew she could be this terrifying.
He might actually die of a heart attack at this rate.
Gulp.
Sion swallowed unconsciously, scanning Lilit’s body.
One single button precariously held the front of the shirt closed, the rest gaping wide open.
Between the parted fabric, her full breasts were fully exposed, pink-tipped fruits small yet perfectly shaped teasing at the edges.
Lower down, her taut abdomen without a hint of excess showed briefly, and further still, her glistening mound, sparkling under the moonlight, peeked out.
Meanwhile, Lilit, who had been relentlessly assaulting Sion’s sanity, mounted him as if to drive the final nail, bringing their eyes level.
“Today, I almost got dumped by a human girl.”
“Uh, ah...”
“I was doing great, but suddenly my mana just—
dropped to zero.”
“Y-Yeah, that happened.
That’s why I stepped in to block...”
“That’s not the point, is it?”
“Come on, Sion.
Here’s a question.
Why do you think my mana hit rock bottom?”
An obvious question, an obvious answer.
Sion let out a groan before speaking.
“Because of me, right?”
“Yeah.
Because you keep not looking only at me.
You pay attention to other women too.”
“...If I say I’m sorry, will you forgive me?”
“What are you talking about?
You don’t need to apologize to me.
Embracing a contracted succubus is entirely up to the man.
We have no choice in the matter.”
With that, Lilit slowly took Sion’s hand and placed it in her cleavage.
Beneath the warm, silk-soft skin, he felt the thump of her heartbeat.
“But if the opponent had been someone on my level.
The moment I exhausted my mana, I would’ve died right there.”
The instant those words left Lilit’s lips, lightning struck Sion’s mind.
A massive, enormous thunderbolt.
‘Ah.’
He’d forgotten.
That this woman wasn’t staying by his side just because she liked him.
Without Sion, Lilit would wither away, eventually turning into a mere demonic beast.
At the same time, she now drew all her power from her connection with him.
What was just occasional intimacy for him was life or death for her.
‘If today’s opponent had been a fully awakened Trisha, or one of the Seven Evils...’
Lilit would surely have died.
If her mana had always been flowing through her body, it wouldn’t have happened—but because he’d been neglectful, he’d nearly lost the one who’d been with him from the start.
“...”
Sion sat up silently, focusing on the heartbeat pulsing through his fingertips from Lilit.
Yes, that heart beat solely for him, and only he could make it beat.
Knowing that, she’d cast aside her pride as queen for him, yet he had nearly put her in danger.
“Lilit-nim.
I...”
“Shh.”
As if she already knew what he’d say, Lilit smiled beautifully, stopping him with her index finger.
“If you’re thinking of apologizing, don’t.
You think I’m doing this just to hear that?”
“But...”
“I’m fine.
It can’t be helped.
This is the reality for a succubus bound by a subjugation contract.
But it’s okay.
I still like you.
You don’t hug me every day...
But you don’t look at me strangely for being a demon or a succubus, and you listen to what I say. That’s why.”
Whoosh.
A gentle breeze swept through the garden, brushing past the man and woman sitting embraced.
Lilit softly swept her wind-tossed hair back, caressing Sion’s cheek.
“I’d love if you just treated me like this until the contract ends.”
“...Of course, sprinkling in some lover-like vibes now and then would be even better.”
Lilit pressed a light kiss to Sion’s lips.
Not the deep kiss she usually craved, but a short, simple touch.
Just playful words, nothing to take seriously.
Instead of replying verbally, Sion pulled the demon woman before him into his arms as he watched.
“...Sion?”
He’d thought of her too much as a novel character, treated her that way, used her that way.
Truth be told, he’d taken care of Lilit because, excluding Kim Yu-hyun, she was the strongest character.
She was a card he could use anytime, anywhere, so he’d managed her with that in mind.
He couldn’t say he had no personal feelings, but the biggest reason he’d treated her specially was because she was the Succubus Queen, with the highest utility value.
‘Fucking idiot.’
But thinking about it, to survive in this world, he had to truly become a person of this otherworld.
Not stop at treating them as novel characters, but think, judge, decide, and act as if he could never survive anywhere else.
That’s why he’d kept telling himself he was Sion Klauzen.
‘But when dealing with others, I acted too much like an outsider.’
Sion realized it was pointless now.
If he truly wanted to survive, he had to be sincere.
Only then would he truly ‘live’ in this world.
The situation imposed on him wasn’t about reading a novel—it was about living life.
“Lilit-nim.”
“Yeah?”
“You’re truly beautiful.”
“...Huh?
Y-Yeah?”
Lilit sounded flustered, sensing the change in Sion.
The look in his eyes, the tone of his voice—they carried emotions different from before.
Even the slight pretense to win her favor was gone; now it was the raw sincerity of a man speaking to a woman.
Lilit stared at the man holding her for a moment, then beamed.
“You’re just noticing now?
You’re such an idiot.”
“That’s why I’m saying it.”
Sion lightly brushed his lips against her nape.
“Eek!”
As the woman shivered with a small cry, he smiled and continued.
“You must be hungry, right?
You had quite the feast today.”
“Of course I’m hungry.
Starving.
I want to eat all night, and be eaten all night.”
“You’re too eager, our queen.”
“Eek...
Don’t tease!
This is a matter of survival!”
Lilit pouted, wrapping her arms around Sion’s neck.
At a glance, she seemed sulky, but her lips curved up, and her arms held him with gentle strength.
Realizing what she wanted, Sion carefully scooped her up.
He worried he might not manage and embarrass himself, but thankfully, this body—trained in swordsmanship—had solid basic stamina.
‘Mana would’ve made it easier...
Well, if I had mana, I might not have connected with Lilit-nim or the others.
This might be a blessing in disguise.’
As he thought that and moved to leave the garden, Lilit suddenly shook her head.
“Let’s do it here.”
“...Pardon?”
“The fresh air is nice.
The moonlight, the starlight.
The cool night breeze.
And you, Sion.
Everything’s perfect, right?”
“B-But outside is a bit...”
“Oh my.
After devouring so much of this queen’s honey, what’s this nonsense?”
“That was you half-forcing me to rub against you!”
“So you’re innocent?”
Of course not.
Truth be told, Sion had worked his tongue hard back then.
The nectar from the Succubus Queen was a drug no man could ignore.
“Hm?
Sion.
Here, let’s do it here.”
“No, still...”
He was about to say what if another woman or someone from the castle saw.
But when the queen in his arms whined cutely with a ‘Hiiing,’ his steadfast heart finally crumbled.
‘Ugh... fuck.
Can’t resist this.’
Truth be told, Sion was curious what sex outside a bedroom would feel like.
He’d just followed societal norms in his world and stuck to beds.
But this was Klauzen Castle, and this was a secluded garden corner few visited.
Knowing no one would see ignited the flames of desire in the man’s chest too.
“Fine.
But since this is outdoor dining, I’m gonna eat big time.”
“Wow.
Saying that to a Succubus Queen is basically a declaration of war, you know?
Don’t worry—I’ll eat more!”
No joke in her tone, Lilit licked her lips with a grin.
Even that was dizzyingly alluring, but Sion knew the future roughly and replied without flinching.
“We’ll see.
You’ll probably be moaning ‘Ahh, it feels so good’ like last time.”
“Ugh.
That was just the subjugation contract making me more sensitive!”
“Then this time, you’ll be sensitive and go ‘Ahh!’ again, Lilit-nim.”
“Grr!
You jerk!”
Lilit flailed her arms, yelling ‘Put me down, put me down!’, but to Sion, it just looked like a woman cutely throwing a tantrum.
Scanning for a spot, he muttered that a bench was best and headed to the wooden one in the garden corner.
He gently set Lilit down and knelt before her.
“Lilit-nim.”
“Yeah?”
“...That last button holding on. Can I undo it?”
The final barrier barely shielding her body.
At Sion’s request to remove it, Lilit smiled as if she’d been waiting.
“Sure.
But stroke me gently while you do.”
Of course.
Even if you told me not to touch, I would’ve!
Sion screamed internally as he slowly reached out, his fingers approaching the center button of her white shirt.
Careful as if handling a priceless gem, he tugged lightly and—
Pop!
The last button came undone.
Her pristine breasts emerged from beneath the precariously covered shirt, the pink tips standing out more under the moonlight.
“So pretty.”
“Just words?”
At Lilit’s whiny urging to keep his promise, Sion pushed the shirt aside, caressing her silk-smooth skin with his palm.
Utter perfection in softness, plus her feminine scent—it pulverized his already shattered heart, scattering it to the wind.
‘Just fuck her!
Body, go for it!
I’m ready!’
His heart raged, but Sion suppressed it.
Sex was about relieving urges and pleasure, sure—but most importantly, it was about rebuilding bonds with the other person, drawing closer.
He’d long known her ‘lover-like vibe’ comment wasn’t mere playfulness.
Deep down, she wanted it.
Not a fake relationship bound by contract, but something genuine between them.
His hand, stroking her firm, flawless abdomen, moved.
Pushing the already open shirt further aside revealed her breasts and the glistening folds between her thighs, shyly exposed.
“Eut.”
As Sion’s hand rose to grasp her breast, Lilit let out a short moan.
Pretending otherwise, but twisting her thighs and rubbing her crotch showed she was driven mad with arousal.
“Lilit-nim.”
“Mmm, Sion.
What?”
“Saying this now might sound ridiculous or stupid.
But... want to make a contract?”
“Huh?”
Lilit let out a puzzled sigh at Sion’s sudden words.
Weren’t they already faithfully upholding one?
That contract let them feel each other’s warmth like this.
“Not a subjugation contract.”
“Then?”
“Lovers?
No.
If I had to name it... maybe husband and wife.”
“...What?”
Truth be told, it had always nagged at Sion.
With Risicida, master and knight—but as a man and woman when she wanted.
He’d told Lucia she could like him, even sneak into the gaps.
With Lia?
He’d mentioned mating and given her a new name, promising to be her mate.
‘But with Lilit-nim.’
He’d said nothing, given nothing.
They had a contract and desired each other, so this was it.
No promises like with the others, not even sweet words.
Just mutual hunger, desire—they’d coupled.
“What do you think?”
But Lilit’s reaction was weird.
Joy, shyness, or even rejection—something.
She just blinked at him.
As Sion opened his mouth to confirm he’d heard right—
“You... you fucking idiot!”
“...Huh?”
“I’ve been treating you like my lover already!
The others treated me like number one!
But you—you didn’t?
Fuck!
Was I the only one feeling that vibe all this time?
You bastard!”
“Gah!
L-Lilit-nim.
If you yell, someone might come!”
“Shut up!
You idiot moron!
Are you even a man?!
No wonder you’re impotent...”
She was shouting loud enough for the whole neighborhood.
Without hesitation, Sion kissed her, covering her lips.
“Mmm...”
Her flailing body gradually stilled, and soon her tongue emerged, focusing on the kiss. Only then did Sion slowly pull away.
Lilit stared at him briefly, then pouted.
“...Idiot.”
“Guilty.”
So, to atone...
“Eek?
W-What, what are you doing?”
“Special queen course tonight.”
“W-What do you...”
Wordlessly, Sion grabbed her leg, licking the smooth skin from thigh to calf to ankle.
He’d eaten the others normally before, but this time, from toe to head.
‘First outdoor meal—gotta savor every bite, no leftovers.’
And with the menu being Lilit, Sion’s appetite only grew.
