The Sexiest Succubus Accidentally Went Crazy for a Cucked Guy-Chapter 63: Soulmate

«Princess Eliss — I cannot break the charm spell that binds you to him simply because there is no charm spell to break,» Raelor says with such seriousness that Eliss cannot even consider it a joke.

«W-What the fuck are you saying...?» Eliss stammers, petrified with disbelief. «I’ve been in love with that guy ever since I met him — obviously it must be the effect of the charm spell I used on him, and for some reason it turned against me!»

Raelor shakes his head with mild disappointment.

«I already told you — your powers were shut down completely the moment you accidentally bumped into each other. In that state, you couldn’t have cast that spell at all,» he replies.

«Y-You can’t seriously expect me to believe that all the love I felt for him since that night was genuine! Come on — don’t talk nonsense! I was already head over heels for him before I even knew his name, and I’m not someone who falls in love at first sight!» Eliss says, shocked by her own words yet desperate to believe Raelor is lying. The facts, however, are undeniable.

«The fact that Aoshi can seal my powers with just a touch is something I experienced firsthand multiple times... and that night, the contact was definitely there. I-I can’t deny that,» she admits, visibly troubled. «But maybe... maybe he only developed that strange ability afterwards? I don’t know — maybe he managed to do that precisely because he resisted the charm spell the first time?» Eliss asks, clinging to the last thread of denial.

«No, that’s not possible,» he states decisively. «The ability to adapt one’s body to resist spells already experienced isn’t something humans possess — and I have no doubt that boy is 100% human.»

Then Raelor gently places his hand on her head and gives her a calm smile.

«Instead of trying to rack your brain for no reason, why don’t you ask yourself how the so-called "Eternal Virgin" could melt at the feet of a human she knew for barely a second?»

«H-How am I supposed to make sense of something that absurd?» she replies, shaking her head and pushing Raelor’s hand away.

«You wouldn’t find it so absurd if you had spent even a shred of your free time studying succubus biology,» Raelor says with a shrug — slightly annoyed.

«Y-You’re really starting to piss me off!» she bursts out, glaring at him. «I’ve worked like a slave until now, and as if that wasn’t enough, you just told me I have to return to Elyndra — excuse me if I’m too tired and nervous to play guessing games with you! So stop being cryptic and spit it out!»

«O-Okay, okay, calm down. I’ll tell you now...» he mutters. His expression grows serious again. «Princess Eliss... have you ever heard of a Soulmate?»

«S-Soulmate...?» she repeats, more shocked than puzzled. «O-Of course — even if I’ve never opened a book in my life, even children know that! A Soulmate is the natural partner of a succubus — the one whose biological and personality traits show absolute compatibility with their succubus. But I don’t see what this has to do with—»

Eliss stops mid-sentence, her mouth still open — as if time itself had frozen for her.

She stands completely still, eyes widened and fixed on an undefined point ahead.

Her mind shuts down — all her synapses firing at once — overwhelmed by a devastating storm of realization.

«You know, Raelor...» Eliss murmurs, seemingly calm as she lowers her gaze. «These past months I asked myself so many times why Aoshi was not only immune to my magic but could even shut it down. Without a millionth of your magical knowledge, all I could do was come up with the most absurd theories. I thought that... since his heart was broken when I met him, maybe that had somehow compromised the effectiveness of the charm spell. The charm spell amplifies feelings of sexual attraction and turns them into absolute love... but if in his heart there were only anger and despair, maybe those feelings bounced back onto me instead. Sure, this theory had a lot of holes... but absurd as it was, it still felt somewhat plausible to me. But believe me — neither that theory nor any others I came up with come remotely close to what you’re telling me...» she continues, increasingly shaken. «T-There is no age, gender, or race constraint for a Soulmate — meaning any creature from Elyndra, Earth, or any other world able to experience love can be one. And that’s exactly why the chances for a succubus to meet her Soulmate are so low that many even call it just a legend.»

«I know it sounds absurd — and yet it’s the truth,» Raelor says. «Aoshi is your Soulmate. What you mistook for magic turning against you were nothing but the natural physical and emotional responses of a succubus when faced with the one destiny has chosen for her. This is also why he can shut down your magic — anyone who has opened even one book knows that simple contact from a Soulmate is enough to temporarily inhibit a succubus’s powers.»

Raelor adjusts his posture like a strict professor lecturing an unprepared student.

«I noticed it the very moment we met in this world — you weren’t under any charm spell at all, so the cause of your sudden falling in love could only be another.»

A wide, triumphant smile stretches across Raelor’s face.

«Congratulations, Princess Eliss. You’ve achieved a feat that I am not exaggerating in calling legendary — something most succubi die of old age without ever experiencing. Unfortunately, though...» Raelor reaches his hand out to her again. «...it is time to return to Elyndra. Seriously, this time — we’ve already wasted far too much time.»

Eliss, hesitating, reaches her hand toward him... but then pulls it back abruptly.

«N-No...» she murmurs, eyes filling with tears. «If I already couldn’t bear the idea of leaving Aoshi... now that I know he’s my Soulmate — the one I’m destined to love for the rest of my life — returning to Elyndra isn’t something I’m even considering! I’ve spent my whole damn life turning down suitors, waiting for the one who could make my heart race — and now that I’ve finally found him... I have no intention of giving up on him!»

«Eliss, please...» Raelor murmurs with a resigned sigh. «Your father ordered me to bring you back to Elyndra no matter what. I’ve never harmed you in all these years as your bodyguard — and I don’t intend to start now. So don’t force me to take the hard path.»

«I-If the only way to stay here with my Soulmate is to get rid of you...» Eliss growls, desperate tears falling as she leaps backward — leaving a dripping trail behind her. A massive pair of demonic wings bursts open from her back as her body radiates a blinding violet light. «...then I’ll destroy you with my own hands!»
