Korim was still pretending not to understand, but inside, she was already bursting with joy.
She was thinking of teasing her two sons-in-law a little.
“Is Alice talking about hugging and cuddling and such? Or maybe kissing? Although I really want to get close to Liyakade, Liyakade doesn’t seem willing.”
Hearing Korim say this, Alice started to doubt whether Liyakade had exaggerated earlier or not.
“So… actually, you didn’t, right? Kissing and stuff.”
“Kissing really didn’t happen, but…”
Korim paused, tapping her cherry lips with a slender finger, and glanced meaningfully at Alice.
“For our race to inherit abilities, we do need some deeper physical exchange. Haven’t you two been intimate these past days? The mark on Liyakade should be pretty obvious.”
“W-What mark!?”
Hearing Korim’s words, Field panicked as well.
She really hadn’t been intimate with Liyakade these past few days, and she hadn’t even seen Liyakade’s beautiful body.
Naturally, she had no idea that a mark had appeared on Liyakade’s body, only that Liyakade had gained the ability to summon Korim.
Alice, on the other hand, knew about the tattoo on Liyakade’s lower abdomen.
Since it was in such a place, and it looked so sensual, as expected, Liyakade and Korim really had…
“Ah, huh? Field doesn’t know? Liyakade is so bad, only showing Alice and not you?”
As she spoke, Korim lifted her tattered clothes, wanting to show the mark on her own abdomen to everyone.
“Don’t!”
Alice and Field moved in unison to press down Korim’s arm.
This was the wilderness, and Chloe was still here.
How could she just lift her clothes and show her body to others!
“T-This is Liyakade’s body! Be careful!”
Alice mustered her courage to scold Korim.
“Ah, I almost forgot. I’ve gotten used to it.”
“When Liyakade comes back, let’s go home together and look. Don’t be so exposed!”
“Haha, alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you.”
Seeing the anxious looks on the two beside her, Korim decided not to tease them anymore.
“Nothing like what you imagine happened. To transfer the possession ability, you don’t have to do that with Liyakade. Of course, if you want to get even stronger power, then a deeper exchange is necessary.”
“So for now, only you two have tasted Liyakade’s flavor. Tsk tsk, delicious Liyakade, lucky you two.”
At this, both Alice and Field’s faces flushed, and even Chloe, who was listening to their conversation, felt her heart speed up.
As expected… Miss Liyakade and the others had already done such things, and with three girls together…
What does it feel like to snuggle with other girls… I want to try it too…
“The time for my possession is about up. I’ll return Liyakade to you soon. The rest is up to you. Remember to come to my territory later and let me see you again.”
“Mm, we’ll definitely go.”
Alice nodded, promising Korim.
“That’s good.”
Korim smiled sweetly, then, as if remembering something, warned them.
“Also, after Liyakade returns, she’ll fall into a coma from magic depletion. Before she wakes up, you’d best bring her somewhere quiet and comfortable where there aren’t many people.”
“You two must stay by her side until she wakes up!”
Korim emphasized again, seriously.
“Don’t worry, Mother-in-law.”
Field and Alice exchanged glances, took a step forward, and made a solemn promise.
“We’ll definitely protect Liyakade and wait by her side until she wakes up!”
Judging by Alice and Field’s reactions, it was clear Liyakade hadn’t told them what happens when she runs out of magic.
Since that was the case, Korim decided to help them out.
This was also for Liyakade’s sake.
If she woke up and could only recharge her magic alone, it would be too lonely.
Better to let the three of them enjoy happiness together, sinking into desire.
If Liyakade could even have a child, that would be even better—it would help the clan grow.
“Mm-hmm, I believe in you.”
With that, Korim slowly closed her eyes.
Liyakade’s aura returned.
Her body softened and slumped.
Alice and Field hurriedly supported Liyakade’s falling body.
“She’s asleep, Liyakade.”
Alice looked at Liyakade’s sleeping face in her arms and couldn’t help but plant a light kiss on her cheek.
Everything was progressing as Liyakade had planned.
To protect Alice and Field, Liyakade had made every preparation, and even if she fell unconscious, she had already planned out what came next.
“Miss Alice, Princess Field, Miss Liyakade, just what kind of being is she… And what was with that demon earlier?”
After the danger had passed, Chloe finally had a chance to ask about what had happened.
She still felt a lingering fear about everything she’d just experienced.
“Chloe, promise us you won’t tell anyone about this, okay?”
Field looked at Chloe and spoke seriously.
“Mm, of course I won’t.”
Chloe nodded obediently.
Liyakade had just saved them—how could she ever betray her savior?
“Actually, Liyakade has half demon blood.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Chloe took a sharp breath.
She’d already guessed somewhat, but hearing Field say it outright still shocked her.
What surprised Chloe even more was that someone with demon blood had become lovers with a light-element mage and even involved the kingdom’s third princess.
It was not just a gender taboo, but also an ethical and ideological one—a truly forbidden love.
This also explained the changes in Liyakade.
“The demon we fought just now was named Dakenis. She must have infiltrated the academy long ago. Her goal seems to be to eliminate Alice, who poses a great threat to demons.”
“But… isn’t Miss Liyakade also half demon? Why would she help us? Is it just because she likes you?”
Chloe still had doubts.
“Of course it’s not just that. According to Liyakade, there isn’t just one faction among demons. Liyakade’s group is friendly to humans. Dakenis is from the faction hostile to humans.”
Field patiently explained to Chloe.
“I see.”
Chloe finally understood their relationship.
“The demon from before was only heavily injured, not dead, right? How do we find her now?”
“That depends on Alice and my sister.”
Field turned to look at Alice.
“Alice, is your level high enough?”
“Yes, I’ve reached LV.35!”
Alice nodded.
Although the fourfold elemental amulet had been destroyed in the earlier battle, the swarm Dakenis created through Irina and Eric provided Alice with a massive amount of experience, letting her reach LV.35.
She could feel her sensitivity to the light element had become sharper, and she’d unlocked a new skill: Light Domain Perception.
Within a three-thousand-meter radius centered on Alice, as long as there was light, no matter how faint, Alice could sense it and detect any lurking demons.
“Over there!”
Alice pressed her hands together and, after a moment of concentration, caught a strange shadow.
She opened her eyes and looked deeper into the canyon.
“Let’s go! System should be over there too. Let’s hurry and regroup!”
