Chapter 187 187 – A Bright Morning Sky

I spent three days with Phisovia alone. I told her a lot so that she could catch up. Not only that, I even cared for her needs, from feeding that woman to cleaning her body.

I was even willing to temporarily abandon my empire's affairs just to be with Phisovia.

"I want to meet your other women and get to know them better, my lord. Well, I've seen doctor Lexi before, though. I find her cute." Phisovia chuckled when I carried her using a wheelchair through the streets of the community I was building.

After getting the green light from Lexi, I wanted to quickly show my woman what we had accomplished.

"Well, why do you assume I have more women, honey?" I frowned. Since she woke up, I haven't told her about my other women.

I want to focus on her only. Talking about other women would make things unpleasant, wouldn't it?

She turned her head to me. "Because you are great and handsome, my lord. Surely many women will like you."

I didn't have any response from her words. What a strange woman. She looked happy when she found out that I had many women.

I then chose to remain silent, letting Phisovia enjoy the view of this place, which would soon become a town. Occasionally, we return greetings from various individuals we meet.

"The development of this place is amazing, my lord. Last I remember, we only had that cave." Phisovia muttered as we passed a pig farming area. The cattle played in the mud while a man was cleaning their pens. "It's like I came to a new town."

She was silent while I continued to push the wooden wheelchair. Ah, maybe I was too ambitious to show off our achievements without thinking about her feelings. She must have felt sad for not being a part of the struggle and development of all this.

"Once fully recovered, you will work closely with me. We will continue to build on all of this." I rubbed her shoulder. "I'm sure you will take us to new heights. You are a missing piece from my journey."

She held my hand. "I can't wait."

We continued walking until a ball rolled in front of Phisovia. A little boy with slightly long hair ran, picked up the ball, and then looked at us.

"Hey, Mason Jr." I greet him.

"What are you doing!?" Another boy with a sharp chin ran to us with his other friends.

A girl added. "When you meet lord Vorn, you must pay your respects!"

Those children then bowed their bodies to me.

"Am I going to get in trouble?" Mason Jr. asked timidly. Like his parents, he uses a different accent from the others.

"No, not at all." I widen my smile. "Ah, I'm glad you got to play with the others, Mason."

"Well, we saw him sitting alone with a sad face." The boy with a sharp chin chuckled. "So, we asked him to play with us."

"Good." I nodded.

Mason looked at Phisovia, and the succubus smiled faintly at the boy.

"Why are you always with different ladies, lord Vorn?" Mason asked.

The boy's friends suddenly gasped, looking panicked.

"Don't ask such things in front of lord Vorn!"

"You're so rude, Mason!"

"You should apologize!"

I don't know who taught them the etiquette for behaving in my presence, but I was completely unfazed by the question. They were still innocent children, after all.

"As a great demon lord, one woman will not be enough for lord Vorn. And we all dedicate our hearts and body to him. We swore not to turn to another man."

Mason raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that selfish? Lord Vorn is free to be with many women. However, those women will not be with other men. In my opinion, that is unfair."

We all fell silent. Well, this is even more surprising than the previous question.

I'm laughing. "You are like your father who loves justice, Mason!"

The sharp-chinned boy grabbed Mason, apologized, and said goodbye, then left with his friends.

Phisovia looked at me again and shrugged. "I'm not sure I like those kids, especially Mason."

I chuckled, starting to push the wheelchair again. "Forgive him. He is still a child and doesn't know the world yet."

I was thinking about what would happen if she had a child. It's rare for a succubus to get pregnant, though.

***

As per Phisovia's request, I took her to a quiet meadow. She took a deep breath of air and stretched her body. "Aah, I didn't know the morning air could be this nice."

"Hey, what are you doing?" I immediately held her body as she rose from the wheelchair. "Doc said you're still not strong enough to do this."

"It's okay, my lord." She held on to my body.

And she then spread her wings from her back. Those movements were still stiff, but they didn't take long to become more flexible.

The red-haired woman flapped her wings. Then, slowly but surely, her body began to lift upwards.

She turned around, smiling at me. "I know you can do this."

As she drifted further away from me, our hands parted.

"Why?" Physovia tilted her head. "Let's fly together, my lord."

​ I put on a smile. Strangely, my heart doesn't hurt from the fact that I can't fly with her anymore. I have accepted that.

Now I'm actually afraid of what she felt after this.

"Come, my lord." She called me again, and I widened my smile without saying a word. "I'm still weak and need your help to fly."

After a few moments of no response from me, she landed back on the ground. I had to hold her body again, so she wouldn't fall.

"You won't fly with me, my lord?" She looked deeply into my eyes.

I rubbed her cheek. "It's not like that. But I can't do it anymore, even if I want to. I've traded my wings for something important."

The succubus's mouth opened. Her eyes also began to sparkle with tears. She shook her head. "No, my lord…. This is a lie, right? Flying is a part of you."

I fell silent again and just gave her another smile. I don't want my words to hurt her again.

"No…" Her tears started to flow. "Please, tell me this is a lie."

I hugged the succubus' body, letting her tears fall on my shoulder.
