30. Aida’s Corruption III
Edmund slept next to Aida in his bed, and she rested. Her belly was warm, the remains of Edmund's fluids deep in her inner chambers. She wasn't sure why, but it felt like it swirled and stirred within her, and filled her with a sense of warmth, contentment and pleasure. Her body felt hot, and yet, her fingers couldn't help but touch the Count's exposed body.
He still had some flab in certain corners of his body.
Her head rested on the soft pillow, and she looked into his eyes.
"You're such a beautiful woman, my dear Aida." Edmund wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
"You say that to every one of us." Aida said, frankly a little jealous of Lady Erenia.
"I do." Edmund leaned in and kissed her neck. "Because all of you are beautiful. I can't help but be attracted to beautiful people."
The healer flushed a little, and sighed. "I sometimes wish to have met you like we were both normal people, and we'll get married, start a family and all that."
The Count nibbled her ears. "But here we are, trapped in the games of the goddesses. I'm a demon, and you're my woman."
She sighed, and then kissed him on the cheeks. "I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I accepted your offer."
"Do you regret it?" Edmund smiled, as he gently squeezed her body.
Aida paused and thought about how she felt since that day. Life in the village was lonely, no one seemed to understand her, nor did they understand her struggles with magic. Edmund solved that for her, and more. He made her feel whole, feel desired and feel like she belonged to him.
She was no longer a wild flower by the roadside, but now dutifully cared for by a loving gardener. This was home, now, and Edmund kissed her on her forehead. Her body tingled, his fluids still stirring within her, and realised, so what if he was a demon?
He gave her a home, and now he was her family. Her lover, and she desired him so much. He hugged her, and kissed her again, their naked bodies touching. She didn't mind. She liked it, she liked how warm it felt, the sensation of their skins touching, the feeling of his sweaty breath on her skin.
She was sure she loved him, though she wasn't sure how much of that was due to all the sex they've been having. She remembered ancient scripture once mentioning that a union of two was about completing each other, and as she felt his kisses on her lips, then neck, and down to her navel, she knew she found the person that completed her.
It just so happened that he was a demon, and really, what's so bad about that? There was no rule or law against loving demons.
The mark on the crotch glowed, and Edmund noticed.
"My dear Count." They kissed. "I don't really care if you are a demon. As long as you love me, I'll be with you wherever you go, and whatever you do."
"Even if I commit evil?"
"I'll tell you not to." Aida said. "But I'll still love you."
Edmund smirked at the answer. "And if I don't listen?"
"Then I'll punish you like the naughty child."
Edmund pinched her butt, and she squealed. At that moment, as Aida gazed into his eyes with those loving eyes, Edmund noticed the mark on the crotch changed shape, and transformed into something resembling a circular ring.
"You're so naughty." Aida pinched him back, but mostly found his flesh to be flabby fat. Edmund pretended to feel some pain from her pinches.
As they kissed some more, and his nether dragon found it's way back into Aida's cave, he felt it happen.
[Aida's corruption reached 3/3. Full corruption attained.]
[Aida is now able to conceive a demon spawn once, and her loyalty is now resolute. The demon spawn functions as a reset button. If you are killed, you will respawn in her womb. The pregnancy period is 1 week.]
[You've gained the last fragment of the goddess's shard.]
[You've gained the ability to Enthrall 15 female NPC and 2 Male NPC. You can give commands to your enthralled NPCs and see/hear through them for a limited amount of time. Stronger NPCs can resist or are immune to Enthrall.]
Edmund's jaw dropped at the function of the demon spawn. It's essentially a 'try-again' button!
