12 - Levantine protects Merle's virginity

Even down on the floor, Merle started making for the throne. However, Succubus is pinning her down like in the bed earlier. Merle’s feet were completely useless, she thought of her first time getting stolen from her and started struggling, but with Succubus in heat, she wasn’t letting her go.

“Haa…! <3 Haa…! <3 Your Majesty, do like it outside the bed? <3”

“I don’t like it!”

“In that case, let’s return to the bedroom! <3” Succubus says as she nibbles on Merle’s ears.

With her hot breath and her spit combined, Merle felt goosebumps. She can’t go on. She’s going to get eaten alive.

Then she saw Levantine in the corner of her eye and reached out for her last hope. “Help me, Levi…! Attack…!” she shouted, almost screaming.

Levantine pulled itself out of its slot on the throne, floated over, and saw Merle and Succubus entangled. “It’s so noisy. What are you doing?”

“It looks like Succubus has been ‘turned on’!” Merle cried. “Stop her…! Before things get even worse!”

“Your Majesty, ohh…” Succubus moaned as she licked Merle’s neck, ignoring Levantine.

“ She’s in heat. Merle, did you do anything sexual with Succubus?”

“’Sexual…?!” Merle sputtered. “I just fondled her breasts a little bit in the bath!”

“ That’s it. That could have been the trigger for Succubus’ current state.”

“Just fondling is enough?!”

“ Sex demons are like that.”

“Your Majesty…! <3” Succubus whispered as she pulled away from her ear, turned Merle over on her back again. “Soon…! <3”

Merle felt how wet Succubus had gotten down below, her gut sank, she trembled at the imminent danger. “Le-viiiiii… hurry up and stop her…!” she whimpered.

“ What a nuisance. Succubus, don’t hold this against me.”

Levantine floated up, rotated, then struck Succubus’ over the head with its hilt. Succubus’ eyes closed, she fell on top of Merle, unconscious.

“I-I’m saved,” Merle sighed.

“ I temporarily siphoned her magic. She’ll come to by morning.”

“Thank you, Levi,” Merle said. “I almost had my virginity stolen from me.”

“You’re an idiot.”

Merle looked down at the magically unconscious Succubus on the floor. She felt bad about leaving her like this, so she decided to pick her up then carry her back to the bedroom. “Don’t try to attack me again, alright?” she said as she laid her down on the sheets.

Merle put her discarded bathrobe back on, felt exhausted in the wake of this fiasco. She wasn’t sure about sleeping beside Succubus, however, and returned to the throne room. “I’ll be sleeping here tonight,” she said as she took Levantine with her to the throne. “Protect me if Succubus tries to attack me again.”

“ She shouldn’t get up till morning. Be at peace.”

“Is that so? Well then… good night,” Merle said as she got comfortable on her throne, closed her eyes, and drifted back to dreamland.

The Demon King’s castle is built near a volcanic crater, the constant smoke makes it so there was little difference between night and day. As the lights of the throne room suddenly grow brighter, however, Merle still realizes it’s morning.

“ Ugh… spent all night on my throne, everything feels so stiff,” Merle thought as she stretched, then covered a yawn with her hand. She didn’t feel that rested, with how uncomfortable the throne was.

“ Last night was terrible…” she thought as rubbed her eyes, felt dread all over again.

The doors slam open, the sound echoes in the hall. Succubus rushes in, no longer in heat, nearly out of breath from crying, and shaking uncontrollably. “Your Majesty!” she cried. “There is no excusing my behavior! I went into heat from your rubbing my breasts, then I attacked you in your sleep!”

Succubus bowed up and down in apology the whole while, her forehead touching the floor. Merle just patted her chest in relief that she wasn’t in heat anymore.

“Never forget this incident,” she said. “Do not attack me again. I’m not going to touch your breasts again, too.”

“Yes! Nothing like this ever again! If Your Majesty wishes it, I will cut them off to prove my sincerity!” Succubus said as she pulled out a knife, thrust out her chest, and raised the blade high.

Merle found herself temporarily distracted by the bouncing before her face turns serious again. “No woman deserves to lose her breasts,” she thought. “You don’t have to go that far,” she said. This is an apology enough.”

“You are so merciful, Your Majesty…” Succubus sniffed. “I am speechless!”

“You’re a sex demon, aren’t you? It’s as Levi said: you can’t help your instincts.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty,”

“But, you still shouldn’t attack me anymore, alright?” Merle said as she sat up properly on her throne. “I thought I was going to have my virginity stolen from me. And right now, conquering the human territories is our priority! Understand?!”

Holding her knees and in tears, Succubus nodded, before she blushed and looked Merle in her face. “Um, so from what you’re saying… after we conquer the humans… we can make a child together then?” she asked as she held her face in her hands.

“Noooooo…! That’s not what I meant!” Merle cried, her voice echoing throughout the castle.

TN: As much as I enjoyed the comedic aspect of all of this, any sort of intimate contact with a sleeping person without their prior permission is sexual assault. Do NOT do or condone this IRL, this is wrong and highly damaging to the victims.
