Release That Succubus

Chapter 388 388 On A Daily Basis

Luna, her concern immediately kindled, shifted her focus from amusement to a gentle touch of worry. 

With a tenderness that bespoke genuine care, Luna began to rub Zach's back soothingly, her touch a pacifying balm against the unexpected consequences of their shared laughter.

As the coughing persisted, Luna whispered words of comfort, her pacifying utterances a soft melody amid the residual echoes of laughter.

The laughter faded into oblivion abruptly, replaced by the tender notes of Luna's apologetic voice. 

Her words, laden with remorse, echoed in Zach's ears, the melody of mirth giving way to a more subdued harmony and her gentle touch, now transformed from a source of comfort to a soothing gesture aimed at alleviating his discomfort, continued to rub his back with a newfound tenderness.

"I am sorry... for missing it all. I am ashamed that I wasn't by your side when you needed me. It... it must have been hard doing everything by yourself. I am sorry... for worrying you so much, for being asleep while you were trying your best to save me by yourself."

Luna's words carried a weight of genuine remorse, each syllable a testament to her deep regret for the moments she had missed. 

Her apology, infused with a profound sense of self-blame, resonated with a sincere acknowledgment of the challenges Zach had faced alone.

Zach could feel the sincerity in her words. It had always been the same. From the moment she called him 'Master', Luna had always been similarly honest with him.

But this time, Zach understood that she wasn't the one at fault at all. The burden of responsibility weighed on his shoulders, a realization that it had been his own perceived weakness that left Luna vulnerable. 

Yet, he didn't interrupt her, allowing her to voice the depths of her remorse. He welcomed her words, not out of a need for reassurance or absolution, but because he craved the soothing cadence of her sincere and loving voice.

"Although I couldn't be of any use all this time and even troubled you by letting you take care of me, let me help you now to make up for all that trouble. Believe me...I have the perfect plan to solve most of your problems."

Luna's words, delivered with a newfound sense of confidence, resonated with a genuine desire to contribute and alleviate the burdens that Zach had shouldered alone. Her acknowledgment of past shortcomings carried a subtle weight, but her eagerness to help now carried a promise of support and collaboration. 

Even Zach was somewhat dumbfounded after listening to her. He couldn't understand the reason behind her confidence as she had been asleep for the last few months. She didn't even understand his circumstances completely, so it was obviously even more impossible for her to concoct a solution based on her fractured understanding of the situation.

Still, he didn't want to douse her enthusiasm completely with a lacking response. As such, he opened his eyes wide as if in surprise and almost produced a squeaking sound from his throat to show his excitement to her. Even if it was feigned, Zach didn't want Luna to feel as if he didn't give any importance to her opinion.

"I can't believe you thought of a solution as soon as you woke up. And here I have been struggling so much for nothing." Zach sounded envious of her ability as he smiled at Luna with inquiring eyes as if asking her what she had in mind without actually saying anything.

"After I get some rest and recover my lost strength, I plan to go back home..." Luna paused after dropping the bomb as if to gauge the destruction her words had caused before continuing any further.

"What do you mean?" 

Obviously, Zach understood what she meant by 'going home' but he didn't want to acknowledge her meaning. He was worried that if he did, she would truly leave him after he had waited for her to wake up for so long. So that left him with only one option; he pretended to be ignorant.

Luna knew him well enough to know when he was trying to fake it. As a result she didn't want to leave anything up to chance and answered instantly, "I mean that I will go back to the succubus tribe, my people. They can help you in your fight against the royal family as well. They not only have the numbers but are also proficient mages for the most part. And the fact that they don't have any good feelings about humans will ensure that they won't be able to betray you for anyone else among the humans."

Zach stared at the ceiling while he pondered on her words seriously as if considering the feasibility of her suggestion.

The idea of getting the succubus race to help him was quite an eye opener for Zach who hadn't even considered the idea. Although he didn't think that the idea was very practical, it changed his perspective regarding the problem he was facing, and it made him feel thankful for Luna's awakening.

Ever since he had arrived in the new world, he had Luna as his advisor who would always tell him about the ways of the world if he ever strayed from common sense. 

As a result, he had learnt a lot of new things, but he had also grown to be dependent on her and her absence had distanced him from the common sense of this new world. 

Having her back was like getting a piece of his mind back again, the lack of which had been keeping him from making full use of his mental faculties which had been resulting in half boiled strategies.

"But you seem to be forgetting the fact that I am a human as well. You are different but your tribe will never agree to support me given the history of enmity between my race and yours. Even if your people are different from those extremists, they would still hold some form of hatred for humans since they feel oppressed due to their lacking numbers compared to humans. How can you be so sure that they would even be willing to hear me out, let alone help me?"

Zach's concern was genuine, but Luna seemed to be ignoring the fact for some reason as if she couldn't see the elephant in the room at all.

"There won't be a problem. Problems occur when there is any conflict of interest or an external threat. But there is no conflict between you and my tribe and there isn't any reason for it either. As for threat, there is even less of that as I can vouch for you. You are already my master, so it won't be too difficult. Our situation is so rare that my tribe would smilingly accept you as a tribe member if you wanted to. So, understand...that...you are different...different from the other humans, and I know that my tribe will definitely agree to support you."

Luna was still her confident self even after being questioned by Zach. She understood his concerns, but she was the expert in this world and not him. So, she was fully capable of overruling his judgement in order to get some help.

"I don't think that our relationship is enough for your family to enter into a cooperative relationship with me." Zach had his doubts. He believed that the succubus tribe would never trust him since he was a human, so a cooperative relationship seemed a little far-fetched.

"I am not naïve enough to think that they will trust you without receiving anything in return. I am sure that they will agree not because of our relationship, but because of what you can give them. Our relationship will also help grease the whole process of them determining whether you are trustworthy or not." Luna sounded mysterious as she implied how Zach was sitting on a treasure trove using sentences with hidden meanings.

"Whaaat? What could I possibly have that they may want?" asked Zach incredulously.

"You are forgetting that all my tribe needs is food. Unlike our extremist counterparts, we are not very successful in securing food for all of us. We don't intentionally harm humans which is why most of my tribe goes hungry until absolutely necessary. Not to mention your semen is the best food they might have tasted in their whole lifetime. Believe me, I know. Cooperation with you is their best option since the succubi need your semen and you need their support to stand against the human faction."

Luna's suggestion wasn't bad at all. Zach could say that it was even a great idea because it had the interests of both the parties involved. They were a match made in heaven, but the idea caused Zach to shudder on the inside.

Just Luna had been enough to suck him dry, he wondered what kind of torture he might have to go through after he entered into an agreement with the Succubi tribe. It would obviously involve him having sex with a lot of their tribe members. After all, the only food that these succubi were able to eat would be his semen. 

If he ended up in a cooperative relationship with them, he would probably need to make sure that all of their people were well fed. Given the harmful effect that feeding a succubus had on other men, Zach would have to handle all the burden himself since he was unaffected by whatever charm they had.

Thinking of a bunch of sex crazed succubi vying for his semen on a daily basis, Zach felt goosebumps all over his body.
