"Um... So, I'm a White Vampire, and I don't need to drink any blood? Is that correct, sir?" Fiona asked, feeling a little better after her body had cleansed the poison from her system.

  "Um?... I think so... Hey, Eve? Can you confirm that?" Chase asked for his floating Grimoire.

  The Grimoire took a moment to respond.

  "Yes. Her daily habits should be the same, and she can eat normal food like a human, but she needs a drop of blood once in a while. Or she'll become lethargic, and if she doesn't get any blood after a year, she'll go into a brumation state until she gets a drop of blood," Eve responded.

  "What is Brumation?" Chase asked.

  "She'll fall into a deep slumber that could st a hundred centuries."

  "So, it's like hibernation? But way longer?" Chase asked.

  "If you want to call it that. But she is a vampire, not a mammal. Hibernation is for warm-blooded creatures that go on a feeding frenzy to collect calories to sleep through a seasonal environment that can't sustain them. Vampires go into a brumate state to survive when their bodies don't have enough blood to function. Normal Vampires hide in a dark pce if they feel their bodies going into a brumate state and stay there until prey comes along and wakes them. They'll come out of their slumber and drain the blood of their prey, but if it isn't enough, then they'll go back to their slumber. They'll repeat that process until the beast within them is satisfied and their cognitive thoughts return," Eve answered, feeling happy to educate her new Master.

  "Oh, okay. And how will I know when she needs a drop of blood?" Chase asked, not sure if she would suddenly colpse like a vampire.

  "She'll tell you when she needs a drop of blood," the floating grimoire stated.

  Fiona had a disgusted look on her face, "Ew... I'm not going to drink someone's blood. That's gross!"

  Eve ughed at the White Vampire, who still had her humanity very much intact, "Ahahaha! That's cute. Luckily for you, you won't need to worry. You might not have the beast within you to turn off your humanity, but when you are in need of a bit of blood, you'll crave it like candy! It will be like a piece of chocote melting in your mouth. Your brain will flood with dopamine and serotonin as the blood drips down your throat, giving you a euphoric sensation!"

  Fiona made a sour face, "Ugh! Gross!... That sounds horrible."

  "Well, I think you'll get over it, especially if you have a drop of master's blood. If I'm right, then you would only need a single drop to st a whole year before you would need more... That's if his blood is as potent as I think it is," the floating grimoire said.

  "Huh? So, my blood will help her?"

  "Yes. Your blood is rich and filled with lust, love, and power. I doubt that Fiona will ever feel the need to feed on another's blood. But she'll need one drop a year from here on out. And that's a generous guess on my part. You are still new, so who knows how long it will be until she'll need another drop, especially if she uses her vampiric powers," Eve stated.

  Chase raised an eyebrow, the question hanging in the air. "And what happens if she can't get my blood?"

  The floating grimoire tone was measured yet reassuring when it replied, "The other races should suffice, but she might need a single drop of blood every week or two. It really hinges on the individual and their lineage. However, I'm confident that if it’s yours, Master, Fiona will only need a drop once a year."

  Chase nodded thoughtfully, the weight of the revetion settling in.

  Fiona's ice-blue eyes gleamed with curiosity as she leaned in closer. "So, let me get this straight. I’m a White Vampire, and you’re my savior... a Demon Lord, right?"

  Chase sighed, a hint of uncertainty swirling in his gaze. "Yeah, that’s about the gist of it... but just yesterday, I was human, the same as you. All of this is overwhelming, and honestly, I just want to carve out a quiet life for myself, away from all the chaos." His voice was heavy, filled with a longing for peace in a world that had turned upside down.

  His words piqued Fiona's curiosity, and her heart raced at the thought of having a private conversation with him. Lilith was on a boat simir to Fiona's, and she wanted to protect him, too. Marilyn couldn't help but be charmed by Chase's personality. The more she witnessed his character, the more her loins became warm. Lai wanted to protect Chase, but the way Fiona looked at him with her innocent ice-blue eyes and the way he blushed at her words made her heart sting with envy. She didn't understand why she felt this way and wondered if it was because she was jealous of the attention Fiona was getting.

  'He saved my life. He doesn’t seem like a bad person at all. And his heartbeat... it’s so soothing. I can’t help but wonder if he’s single... Huh?'

  Just as those thoughts flitted through Fiona’s mind, she caught a glimpse of movement in her peripheral vision. Turning her head, she spotted Grace letting out a terrified yelp as she ducked behind a stack of wooden barrels.

  "Grace? You’re alive!" Fiona excimed, relief flooding her voice. "Oh, thank the Gods that you—"

  “Keep your distance, you—you blood-sucking demon!” Grace screamed, her eyes wide with fear. "I know what you are, and you can't trick me!"

  Fiona's eyebrows knit together in confusion. Was Grace talking about her new race, or was there something else at py?

  “Um, sorry, Fiona. Grace is... not in a good pce right now,” Marilyn said, her voice steady despite the chaos brewing.

  Eve and Lilith exchanged gnces, barely able to suppress their ughter, while Lai let out a long sigh of resignation. Chase could only look on, bewildered and unsure of how to navigate the whirlwind of emotions swirling around them.

  "Well... I guess I'll take four out of five women that trust me," Chase joked, trying to ease the tension.

  Grace peeked out from behind the barrel and yelled, "If you do anything to Marilyn, then I know the truth about you. A-And you're not strong! Once I find some holy water and a goddess's cross, then I'll drive you away, you vile beast!"

  Chase chuckled as he watched the shy girl cower behind the barrel, and his curiosity grew. He'd never seen a woman like her before. Her jet-bck hair, along with her slender frame and timid demeanor, made her stand out from the others.

  'I hope there's something I can do to gain her trust,' Chase thought, wanting to make the girl feel comfortable.

  Grace's brown eyes darted around from one person to another until they locked on Chase. She froze and held her breath, hoping he wouldn't notice her. But when his violet eyes met hers, she felt a surge of excitement run through her.

  'He's looking at me... and his eyes... they're so beautiful!'

  Suddenly, the shy girl's heart pounded rapidly as heat rushed to her cheeks. Her body trembled, and a strange, tingling sensation tickled the deepest parts of her core. Before she knew it, her nipples were poking through her thin dress, and her clitoris throbbed, desperate to be touched.

  'Wh-what's happening to me?' Grace wondered, her eyes fixed on Chase. 'N-No! He's trying to charm me! I-I must look away! I won't let him have his way!'

  With a fierce determination, Grace closed her eyes and covered her ears, hoping that would prevent the spell from working.

  But the image of Chase's handsome face and piercing violet eyes was already burned into her mind, making her squeeze her thighs together in a vain attempt to stop the tingling sensation that continued to build.

  'Oh, no. No, no, no!' Grace thought as goosebumps ran across her skin.

  "What's wrong, Grace?" Lilith asked, a sly grin forming on her lips.

  "Sh-shut up!" the shy girl snapped and hid behind the barrels, trying her best to fight her urges.

  'It's okay... As long as I don't look at his eyes and hear his voice, I should be fine...'

  Grace could feel her panties getting wet, and her pussy was aching with need. She had never felt this way before, not even when she touched herself te at night, thinking about how she wanted to be taken by the man of her dreams.

  'Is this how women feel when they fall in love?'

  It was the only expnation that came to mind. The way her heart was beating so fast and her mind kept drifting towards him was making her confused, scared, and excited. But her will won the internal battle as she pushed aside her feelings, refusing to accept them as fact.

  'Love at first sight is nothing more than a fairytale, a fantasy told by foolish, young girls who are naive and desperate to find a husband. And he is a Demon Lord, the spawn of a wicked race that will corrupt and destroy the world. I can't allow myself to fall for his charms! Not now, not ever!'

  Grace wasn’t the only one captivated by Chase’s undeniable charm. There was something magnetic about him that effortlessly drew people in, wrapping them in an aura of safety and warmth. His eyes, in particur, sparkled with a deep compassion that felt almost otherworldly—so rare even among everyday humans, let alone a demon. It was as if they held the promise of understanding and kindness, making it impossible for anyone to resist getting closer.

  Marilyn's heart pounded against her rib cage, her stomach fluttering with butterflies as she gazed into the Demon Lord's eyes. His violet irises sparkled in the dim light, and she couldn't help but smile. 'He's so handsome. And his voice is so soothing. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm gd I'm alive... Maybe I should do something to show my gratitude?' Marilyn thought as her mind was flooded with possibilities, and her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink.

  Just as Marilyn was about to speak to Chase, a piece of wood hit her in the back of the head. "Ow! What was that for!?" Marilyn yelped as she turned to see Grace hiding behind the barrels again.

  "Get away from him, Marilyn! He's a beast that can corrupt your mind and soul. Stay away from him!"

  Marilyn's brow furrowed as she marched over to Grace, her voice sharp and unwavering. "I refuse to tolerate this, and you’re behaving like a spoiled child!" she excimed, frustration bubbling over.

  Chase didn't know if he should step in, but Grace was more frightened than anything, and he didn't want the poor girl to get hurt.

  "I think we should go and talk to her, Marilyn. I'm sure if she understands that this is the man who saved us, then things will be alright," Fiona said as she stood up on her feet.

  "You think it is a good idea to approach her, Fiona? I'm not so sure. She seems very skittish, and I'm not sure if we should approach her," Marilyn replied, wanting to make sure the timid woman wouldn't do something irrational.

  "Come on! The worst that can happen is she screams and runs off," Fiona said dismissively, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and defiance at Grace’s fierce gre. But as she took a step closer, an odd sensation rippled through her back, a stiffness that felt entirely foreign to her. 'What’s going on? It’s not like I injured myself,' Fiona pondered, her curiosity mingling with trepidation.

  Suddenly, the White Vampire raised her arms high above her head in hopes of ridding the odd sensation, and to her astonishment, she felt a resounding crack from her spine. In an instant, a pair of elegant white bat wings burst forth, stretching wide like a banner unfurling in the wind.

  "Eeeeeek!" Fiona shrieked, her voice piercing the stillness, echoing her shock and exhiration.

  "Fiona! Are you alright," Marilyn, Lilith, Lai, and Chase were surprised to see her wings pop out of her back.

  "Huh!? I have wings?" Fiona excimed, her eyes widening as she marveled at the bat-like wings sprouting from her back. She stretched them out and gave a few encouraging fps, feeling herself lift off the ground just a fraction. Excitement bubbled within her, but when she tried to really take flight, gravity quickly reminded her of its power. "Oh wow, this is so strange! But... kind of thrilling, too! How do I tuck these away?"

  Eve approached her, "Just focus on putting them away. It's as easy as putting them out."

  Fiona nodded, closed her eyes, and focused on her newfound appendages, 'Alright, wings. Let's put you away. I don't think the sky is my calling right now... Even though I wish it did,' she thought, feeling a tingling sensation spread through her back. Suddenly, the wings retracted, folding into her body as if they were never there. When Fiona opened her eyes, she was relieved to see that her wings were gone.

  "Phew! Okay, that's a relief."

  Marilyn strolled over to Fiona, a curious gleam in her eye. “You know, it looks like your wings are hiding right behind your shoulder bdes. If I didn’t know what to look for, I’d never have noticed they were there,” she said, studying Fiona's back intently.

  Fiona turned slightly, a hint of apprehension in her voice. “So, you’re telling me my back looks normal? Even with the wings tucked away?”

  “Absolutely!” Marilyn replied with a reassuring smile. “From what I can see, it looks perfectly ordinary. The only difference is a slight paleness in the skin where your wings are concealed, but honestly, it’s so subtle that it’s almost unnoticeable. Everything else seems just the same.”

  A wave of relief washed over Fiona, and she beamed. “That’s such a relief to hear!”

  Eve burst into ughter, drawing puzzled gnces from the others. She quickly composed herself, “Sorry! I just can’t help but find it amusing that you thought fpping your wings would actually make you fly.”

  Fiona crossed her arms; her cheeks puffed out in mock annoyance. “C’mon, give me a break! I’ve never had wings before!”

  "True, true. Well, if you are interested in flying, all you need to do is channel your mana into your wings. You will then be able to fly," Eve replied.

  "Really?" Fiona looked behind her, and then her wings popped out of her back again. She fpped them to get a feel for them. Then she closed her eyes, and her instincts kicked in. Mana flowed through her veins and wings, and when she fpped them, Fiona shot up in the air.

  “Oh, my Gods! This is absolutely incredible!” Fiona excimed, her ughter ringing out like a melody as the wind whipped around her, lifting her effortlessly into the star-studded night sky.

  A hush fell over the group, their eyes widening in disbelief and wonder as they beheld the remarkable sight of Fiona soaring above them.

  "Can you believe it? She's flying..." Lai murmured, her gaze following the elegant movements of the young vampire as she danced among the clouds.

  "Whoa! That is seriously impressive!" Lilith admitted, a twinge of envy coloring her tone as she watched the White Vampire glide gracefully through the air.

  “This is amazing!” Chase shouted, his excitement contagious as he watched Fiona twirl and spin above the ship, a radiant figure against the dark backdrop of the night.

  Even Grace, in her frightened state, found herself captivated by the spectacle, her eyes sparkling with awe and delight.

  Fiona giggled in pure joy, her carefree smile illuminating her face as she twisted and turned amid the stars, her snow-white hair billowing like a banner in the wind. *I’m free! And it’s all thanks to Master Chase,* she thought, warmth blossoming in her chest as she embraced the exhirating sensation of flight.

  After a few minutes of flying around the ship, Fiona floated next to Chase. "Master, that was amazing! I've always dreamed of being able to fly."

  "It was nice watching you fly. It was the first time I've ever seen someone fly like that, and you were so graceful and beautiful," Chase replied, smiling.

  "Well, you're cute when you blush," Fiona said softly and gave Chase a soft smile.

  'Wait. Did she say he was cute?' Chase's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and he averted his gaze, "Um... Thanks."

  Lilith and Lai both gred at the girl, a hint of jealousy in their eyes.

  "You shouldn't say such things to a man, Fiona... He'll get the wrong idea," Lai advised, her voice ced with an unexpected tension. Chase raised an eyebrow, taken aback by Lai's protective tone. Jealousy flickered in her eyes, but why was she trying to steer Fiona away?

  "But he is cute," Fiona shot back, her honesty cutting through the air.

  Lai's heart raced at Fiona’s bold remark, and the fear that had once held her back from Chase began to dissolve like mist in the morning sun. "What are you saying, Fiona? He's a Demon Lord... A-And he's more handsome than cute," she replied, a mix of defiance and curiosity sparking in her voice.

  Lilith's eyes sparkled with mischief as she excimed, "You're right, Lai! He's definitely hot. But I think the proper term would be devilishly handsome."

  The air crackled with tension as Lai shot a determined gre at the blue-haired succubus, her jealousy boiling beneath the surface. The rivalry was palpable, and the stakes were getting higher with each passing moment. Fiona and Marilyn saw this and decided to find Grace and reason with her as the two succubi bickered.

  "Chase? Who is this Succubus, again? I'm having a hard time remembering," Lai said in a sarcastic tone as she stepped to Lilith, who stood her ground this time.

  “You know exactly who I am, Lai. Don’t pretend you’ve forgotten,” Lilith shot back, her golden eyes radiating intensity.

  Chase felt the tension in the air and grimaced, sensing the brewing storm between them. He knew he needed to intervene before their escating tempers ignited a full-blown confrontation. “Lilith, that’s enough,” he warned firmly, trying to keep the peace.

  With a frustrated sigh, Lilith cast one st fiery gre toward Lai before reluctantly stepping back, the air still crackling with unresolved animosity.

  "That was a close call. I really need to watch my back around Lai. If I'm not careful, she might just take me out before I ever get the chance to have Chase all to myself," Lilith thought, her mind racing.

  Chase let out a heavy sigh of relief and gently took hold of Lai's hands, desperate to calm her jittery nerves. "Lai? Are you alright? You don’t need to feel threatened by Fiona or Lilith," he said, his voice soothing.

  Lai's eyes flickered with doubt. "I-I'm not scared, Chase. But why did you bring another succubus into all of this when you already have me?" she pressed a hint of vulnerability in her tone.

  Chase winced, caught off guard by her question. "It’s... well, it’s a complicated story. I’m still wrapping my head around it myself. But if you’re willing to listen, I promise to share everything,” he replied, searching her gaze for reassurance.

  Lai nodded, "I'd like that, Chase."

  'Oh, thank God. Lai, I promise to make it up to you... Maybe if things get serious, then you'll be my first,' Chase thought, the idea sending a shiver down his spine. Her green eyes sparkled with warmth, and he was grateful to see her expression soften.

  Lai blushed at Chase's words, a wave of relief washing over her. 'Maybe he'll finally open up to me...'

  "Well, you see... I wanted to try out another corruption spell, and I was pnning on making a Werewolf. But an option came up in my head, and I accidentally picked succubus... And he is now a she... And she is Lilith," Chase said.

  Lai felt a swirl of confusion as she tried to untangle Chase's words, her mind racing to make sense of what he had just shared. But then she started feeling superior to Broc and was happy that he had lost his manhood for everything he had done to her and the people of Ars. She forgot that Lilith didn't see this as a punishment, and she was gd that Chase had given her a body that had pleased her.

  "O-Oh... I see," Lai replied, her gaze lingering on the blue-haired succubus for a long moment.

  Lilith met her gaze with an unreadable expression, her crimson eyes fshing with a mixture of annoyance and amusement.

  "So, he lost his manhood... Good! You deserve to lose your manhood, Broc," Lai said with a smirk.

  Chase felt dread as he heard the redheaded succubus, 'Oh, no."

  "It's Lilith. Not Broc," Lilith snapped, her patience fraying at the edges.

  "Whatever, Broc," Lai shot back, a teasing smile dancing on her lips.

  Lilith felt a surge of anger bubbling to the surface, heat rising to her cheeks.

  Chase jumped in again, "Lai... Can I have a word with you? In private, please."

  Lai and Lilith gred at each other for a long moment before finally breaking their gaze.

  "Fine," the redhead succubus sighed, turning her attention back to Chase.

  Chase nodded, giving the blue-haired succubus one st pleading gnce. 'Lilith, please be patient. We'll get through this together, okay? Just hold on a little longer. Lai and the other girls have been through a lot,' Chase thought.

  The blue-haired succubus huffed, averting her gaze. But after a few seconds, her expression softened. 'You're lucky that I have feelings for you, Chase. Or I would have torn her hair out by now,' Lilith thought, her heart beating rapidly in her chest.

  As they strolled a short distance away, Chase leaned in, drawing near to her delicate ear. With a serious glint in his eye, he whispered softly, “So, tell me, what's the issue here? What are you doing, Lai? Why are you fighting Lilith?"

  The redheaded succubus froze, her body stiffening. Heat flooded her cheeks as Chase's words washed over her, a strange fluttering sensation stirring within her core. 'He's standing so close to me... His voice is so warm and comforting. Oh, Gods... How am I supposed to focus when he's doing this?'

  "I-I feel like you want to repce me with her," Lai replied, her voice quavering slightly.

  Chase furrowed his brow and moved in closer to her with his chest brushing up her back. 'Repce her?... Does Lai have feelings for me? I know I have a strong affection for her, but is this love or just lust?'

  "Repce you? What do you mean?" Chase asked in a low voice that made Lai's tail wag.

  "I-I don't know... I've never felt this way about anyone... When I'm around you, I get all flustered and nervous. I keep telling myself that this is just a phase and that my feelings will go away soon. But I can't help but feel so attracted to you. It's like we're connected in a way that's deeper than anything I've ever experienced... And I fear I'm not good enough," Lai said as she leaned into Chase and started brushing her butt against his crotch. Lai wouldn't have been caught dead acting so forward, but his closeness was intoxicating.

  'God damn! Lai is so aggressive... I want to take her right now. But we're on a ship. Someone will surely notice,' Chase thought as he put his hand on Lai's hip and started caressing it.

  Lai's breath hitched in her throat as she felt Chase's fingers brushing against her hips, and goosebumps rose on her skin. An overwhelming heat burned through her core, and she felt her nipples harden as her body responded to his touch. 'Is this what it feels like to be aroused?'

  "Lai," Chase whispered and leaned closer to her as his body draped over her. "You're one of a kind... I would be the dumbest man in the universe if I were to hurt you... You're the first person I saved in Ars... You're beautiful, smart, strong, funny, and loyal... So, please, don't think you're not enough for me... If anything, I'm not good enough for you," Chase said, his breath hot against her ear.

  Lai let out a long silent gasp as she closed her eyes and leaned her head back into Chase's shoulder. Every word he said felt like a bolt of electricity shooting through her, and she could hardly contain her excitement as her clitoris was pulsating.

  "A-Are you sure?... You're not just saying that to make me feel better?" Lai asked, her voice trembling.

  Chase grinned, a hint of mischief pying at the corners of his mouth. “I mean it... Not only that, I need a strong woman to control the other girls and I can't have you starting fights. You are my first and number one... Unless you don't think I'm worthy to have you,” he said, his voice smooth and reassuring.

  As he leaned in closer, Lai's heart began to race, and waves of anticipation coursed through her. She could feel her legs tremble beneath her, the warmth of his body pressing against her back igniting an intoxicating blend of anxiety and excitement. 'He’s so warm. So strong,' Lai thought, captivated by the closeness that sent a thrill up her spine.

  "If I say yes... Then, you are stuck with me forever. I choose who gets to stay with you, and that means we have a long road ahead of us. Are you prepared for that?" Lai nestled against Chase, feeling the warmth of his chest against her back as she leaned in closer, her hair cascading softly over his shoulder. His comforting presence enveloped her, creating a sense of security that made her smile. She made sure to grind her ass against Chase's bulge making him groan in her ear.

  Lai's succubus tail flicked pyfully, dancing with a life of its own as it swayed behind her, a mischievous spark in her eyes with all the attention she was getting from Chase.

  'W-Why am I being so... naughty!... Is this really the right way to get him?... Gods! His moans are music to my ears... And I can't believe I'm letting him grind his cock on my butt! Agh... Father would be so disappointed in me... But I don't care.' Lai thought, feeling Chase's hands tightening on her hips as his hard member pushed into her ass.

  "Lai... I..."

  Chase's gaze drifted downward, and he noticed a damp stain beginning to form in the crotch of her trousers, glistening under the moonlight. A rush of desire surged through him, compelling him to reach out and brush his fingers against it. Just then, Eve flew into view, throwing cold water on both of them.
