My Servant System

"Aw... C'mon, it'll be fun~! Just the thing that you need right now..."

Cali drifted near me before letting out a sigh as I swatted her hand away, trying my hardest to push down on the heat that was spreading throughout my body as I walked towards the door, ignoring the loot on the table for now as I instead went to a new room, focusing on the streets down below.

"You sure? We could make it quick... It'll take a little work from me and you, but I think you could make anyone~ finish quickly, Kat... really, you're so~ sexy that it makes me ache something fierce..."

"Cali!"

Snapping at the Arch Fiend, I glared at the pink skinned woman floating around before sighing and turning back towards the window, lifting it up as I tiredly added "Please, let's just... not. You already know my answer; you know that I wouldn't EVER cheat on Jahi. On any of my lovers. So... please. Just stop."

She smirked at me, leaning against the wall beside me and watching as I created some thin, sharp arrows out of ice, overlooking the street below and counting out the various Cultists moving around and looting the buildings.

"You are SO much fun to tease, Kat... you know that? You get so flustered, so emotional in interesting ways... It's amusing. My little Masque is trying to control herself, trying to not give in to the throes of heat even as she yearns for sex~!"

Giggling, Cali remained beside me as she watched me scan over the various buildings, my nose twitching as I tried my best to locate any stragglers; from earlier, there hadn't been any scents lingering around other areas, so I was willing to just kill first and ask questions later.

"I can feel it, you know? How tempted you were, both with that man back there and with me. For different reasons. You yearned to give that man the ride of his life seeking out power; for a fraction of a second, you considered and weighed that option, even if you try and deny it... I know it to be true."

My lips curled into a frown as I lined up the arrows beside the window, waiting to be used.

"Don't worry, I know you never would~! Just understand that I could sense that the thought crossed your mind... that I could sense that if that Demoness wasn't in the picture, or if your ties weren't as strong, you'd have done it simply because of how aroused it would have made you... Then there's me~! Try and deny it all you want, but no mortal would ever admit that the thought of bedding me, of engaging in sexual intercourse with lust incarnate didn't tempt them... Not even your Empress can say that~! I know because I've heard a few things about her when she was young... young and alone~!"

Giggling to herself some more, Cali floated to the other side of the window and continued to speak, the Arch Fiend ignoring my clear desire for her to remain quiet.

"Well, at the very least you learned something from this, and it's about damn time as well! Hmph, I could've sworn my Masque was a smart, sexy woman with a brain as big as her-!"

Glaring at her, I lifted an arrow and pointed it at her throat, the Arch Fiend just giggling as she skipped over that part, saying "I could've sworn you'd have remembered that lust doesn't just describe sexual needs! I mean, a majority of it are satiating your need for a warm body wrapped around yours, but that's not the ONLY thing you can lust for! Lust for power, lust for love, lust for good food, lust for sex... it all falls beneath lust! A strong desire for something... Sex is just the easiest."

I frowned again, though this time in contemplation as I pondered her words as I also maintained my watch over the city of Emor, creating myself an arsenal of deadly ice arrows for the massacre to come.

"You lusted for information in that moment, and in order to get it, you played to your strengths and used his lust for your own advantage. And before you ask, this wasn't something small that you were lusting after, so that's why you haven't felt it anywhere else after learning about Lust Mana... to my knowledge, anyways~! Days blend together for those with millennia of life behind themselves~!"

"It was also my lust to kill him fueling that, was it not? The bloodlust that I've had for a long time, something that comes and goes alongside my emotions. I haven't felt it this strong for a while now, but since Satanya is here..."

"Indeed, indeed~! Your need to spill blood is also contributing to this~! Maybe this'll be a learning experience for you on what you need to learn to harness this wonderful power I can provide you... Or maybe you'll continue to flounder around aimlessly as you seek out Pleasure~!"

The Arch Fiend giggled again before placing a kiss on my cheek, her snake hair hissing lovingly in my ears as she whispered "But... I believe in you, Kat... I think my lovely, lusty, sexy puppy can learn how to harness Pleasure like a tool... something meant to amplify what your lovers feel, and something meant to sap your enemies of their very will to live. I believe in you, my love... I really do."

With that, she disappeared in a flash of pink mist, leaving me alone with my thoughts inside this empty building, the only things near me being a stack of arrows and the two corpses of some human scum.

That silence was broken by a loud boom flooding the city's streets as a blossom of flames consumed a portion of the wall, opening a gateway into the city that was directly aligned with where the majority of the Cultists were, making me smile as I lifted an arrow and slung it forwards, the sleek crystalline weapon slicing through the air in complete silence, arcing towards the back of the closest Cultist to me.
