Chapter 201

"She dragged me forcefully in front of her and asked me, ‘Madam, would you be willing to dance with me?’ I tried to charm her, but I failed. I thought maybe my spell wasn’t strong enough, as she defended against it. But no matter what I did, it had no effect on her. Her hand was already on my waist, and I felt the pain. She held a special weapon in her hand that could easily harm a demon’s body, so I had to finish the whole dance with her."

She shrugged her shoulders, suddenly smiled mischievously, and said, "Eilan looks beautiful. If it weren’t for that face, I would’ve definitely escaped. But she was really… elegant and enchanting at that time. I was completely mesmerized. Later, I found that several other girls wanted to dance with her. When I passed by them, each of them made an unhappy sound. Ah, it made me so happy to hear that!"

Kuowa seemed genuinely happy. She stood up, took Sylas’s hand, and pulled her into the center of the small "dance floor." They began to spin around with quick, agile steps. The bottom of Kuowa’s black coat fluffed up, and during the spins, it transformed into a blooming black flower. The fleshy wings pressed against her back, adding a touch of unusual "flavor" to the "dress."

"She lifted me up with great strength. Even though I had folded my wings, she still made me feel light as a feather." Following the sound of the harp, she drew Sylas into her embrace and then twirled her out. "I really miss our first encounter. Nowadays, she doesn’t want to dance with me anymore."

"That’s really a pity. How long has it been?"

Kuowa smiled mischievously, "Actually, it hasn’t been that long. Every year, during the farewell dance, she still agrees to dance with me. But I am a demon, and I enjoy indulging in extravagant things."

"Why don’t you go out and have fun yourself? It should be simple for you to sneak into the palace ball."

Kuowa pouted and said, "Eilan doesn’t like it when I do that."

Sylas whispered, "They’re really strict." And Luna scolded in a low voice, "You don’t understand anything!" Who knows what she was thinking about again.

There was a smell of sulfur on the demon’s body. Sylas somehow remembered that dream again and unconsciously showed sadness on her face. Kuowa moved her hand from Sylas’s shoulder, gently tapped her chin, and said, "Oh, poor little thing, why are you sad? Is it because of love?"

"What? No, there’s nothing. Don’t guess randomly."

"What’s the big deal about this? Almost every kid at school has experienced something like this. I’ve been at Star Song Castle for almost twenty years, seen a lot. It’s just a common thing, it will be better if you talk about it."

The succubus’s sweet voice tempted her, looking at those purple eyes, there was a moment when she wanted to give up resisting and share this burden that always tortured her little by little with everyone else.

But she managed to hold back and said in a low voice, "It’s just a common thing, nothing serious."

But Caroline asked, "Twenty years? How old is Eilan this year?"

Kuowa looked up and thought, "Hmm… probably fifty years old? When I met her, she was only twenty-eight, so young and delicious." After saying that, she chuckled, with a twinkle in her eyes, infecting those around her as if it had substance.

However, the last sentence made Caroline and Luna squint their eyes and exchange a look, both expressing a "Do you think the same way?" expression.

"Well, she looks really young, I heard there is a contract that can make demons and their owners share their lifespan. Did you two share your lifespans, that’s why she looks so young?"

"What? No, of course not." Kuowa denied, "There is such a contract, but we didn’t sign it, and she didn’t sign it with any demon either. Wow, that’s so dangerous. Demons hardly ever sign contracts like that with humans, humans are too fragile, they can easily die."

"What about her?"

"Powerful magic can keep the body immortal, the power itself has a symbiotic relationship with its vessel. Skillful wizards don’t easily grow old. Instead of lamenting about youth when it fades away, why not study hard now and strive for eternal life, don’t you think?" Kuowa made a detour to the two women.

"You’re so annoying!" Luna couldn’t help but reach out and slap her.

Caroline couldn’t decide if she was praising or mocking when she said, "No wonder you’re different from other demons that tempt you to fall!"

"Of course, Eilan sincerely hopes that you can study well and contribute to the development and progress of magic, thus benefiting the entire human society," Kuowa said with determination, even raising one arm, "My desire is to fulfill her desire."

Sylas burst into laughter, and the smile didn’t disappear for a long time, who knows what she was thinking.

Kuowa lowered her head and captured Sylas’s sweet yet somewhat bitter expression, she softly comforted, "It’s alright, servants easily fall in love with their masters."

Sylas innocently raised her head and asked, "Like this? What is the principle behind it? Have you talked to many contractees about this issue?"

The two little girls couldn’t figure it out and both laughed, saying, "You’re so clueless, it’s beyond help."

Kuowa said, "I don’t know, maybe I should suggest Eilan to study this issue. I guess it’s because the contract itself is unequal. We demons are easily worshipped by the strong, and I feel like humans are also prone to this. Some humans enter into a contract with demons, without realizing the inequality, and unknowingly develop admiration and infatuation towards their masters."

Luna asked, "So, is it the same with the headmaster… with you?"

Kuowa laughed, her nose wrinkling, "Of course! I didn’t think about it when I signed the contract! What a loss!"

"So, does the headmaster have the same feelings towards you?"

Kuowa’s smile faded, "I don’t think you understand the nature of the contract. Such feelings are normal within a contract, at least Eilan thinks so. It would be strange for a servant not to admire and respect their master, right?"

"That’s really… really sad." Luna’s eyes welled up with tears, her compassion genuine and undeniable.

Kuowa said with a smile, "It’s not a big deal. She doesn’t have a boyfriend anyway, so isn’t she hugging and kissing me just the same? It’s not much different from me having her all to myself in reality."

"Of course there is, but it’s quite enough," whispered Sylas.

"Of course there is! Doesn’t her doing these things for you mean something?"

The succubus chuckled lightly, "It doesn’t mean anything. Don’t you sometimes hug and kiss your overly enthusiastic pet dog? You have a master-servant relationship with it, and that’s the peculiar aspect of an unequal relationship. You may engage in intimate behavior with it, but the emotions involved are completely different from those you have for someone equal to you."

"So pitiful… *sob*… I feel like crying."

Kuowa widened her eyes in disbelief, then burst into laughter. "Why cry? Human girls are so strange! If you came to Eilan’s training course, you would know that ‘master-servant relationship’ is a big category in contract spells. You can think of it as a type of mind magic. She even sincerely hopes that someone would specialize in researching it!"

"Don’t you mind?"

"I don’t, I can distinguish these strange emotions. The lingering effects disappear completely once the contract is torn apart. Manipulating emotions is a succubus’ nature," she said proudly.

Oh… for some reason, everyone present seemed a bit disappointed.

"But Eilan is really amazing!" she boasted as if none of the previous events had occurred. "Weren’t you all charmed by her grace during her lectures? And her relaxed attitude while reprimanding students? Of course, the most captivating thing is when she works diligently!"

"Of course, of course."

"Then let’s end today’s practice, girls. Aren’t you tired?" Succubus suddenly tilted her body, causing Sylas to arch her back and almost touch the ground. Sylas whispered in surprise, and Kuowa smirked, saying, "Once you learn to dance the male steps, it will be your turn to scare others! See you tomorrow!" With a whoosh, she spread her wings, walked backward onto the windowsill, suddenly lay down backwards, and jumped straight down from the top of the building. The three girls were scared and ran to the window to look, even Miss Slote pursed her lips and glanced downward.

With a whooshing sound, the wind caught the covered sound, and the succubus flew up into the sky, spreading its wings and performing complex flying movements against the backdrop of the night, flying towards the school campus.

The succubus’s dazzling moves amazed everyone; flying was indeed an admirable skill. However, what Sylas envied the most was her relationship with her "master."

But the succubus coldly revealed the truth: Eilan only saw her as a pet. You might kiss and hug your pet dog, engaging in many intimate behaviors and even sleeping together, but you would never develop feelings of love for it.

Luna murmured, "Did I hear that right just now? Can a human really resist the charm of a demon and fix the entire relationship as that of a servant and master?"

Sylas said gloomily, "What she meant just now is that Eilan can. She studies such relationships and proposes solutions to this phenomenon. She is a kind of professional inspector who deals with demons, so she must have some special abilities."

Caroline rubbed her chin and said, "But she also just said, ‘Besides, Eilan is a really adorable person.’ That explains a lot." She smiled at Luna.

"I don’t quite understand demons. Honestly, sometimes I want to pry open their brains and see what they’re really thinking."

"But the demon never makes you feel like he’s telling the truth."

After discussing the demon for a while, Sylas asked, "Where did Swis go?"
