Chapter 593: The Spider Queen's Invitation II

The Incubus System Chapter 593. The Spider Queen's Invitation II

Once I stepped out of my portal, I was at Syntyche's mansion's entrance. The guards quickly turned to me in shock and prepared to attack me.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen. Your queen invited me here. Do you know where she is?" I asked in a calm tone.

The guards frowned. Their doubts were clear from their expressions.

"Your Highness? The prince?" one of them finally called me. Yeah, the demon world recognized a demon lord and other demons with his demonic aura, not by our faces. And since I deactivated it, they had a hard time recognizing me.

"Yeah. Who else can use the portal besides me and my parents?" I asked them. It was in our bloodline.

Quickly, they canceled their attack stances and bowed to me.

"She is in her room, Your Highness," one of them answered.

"Very well." Instead of walking, I used my Teleportation skill. "Remember, don't say anything about my arrival," I warned them before my dark aura completely engulfed me.

Once the dark aura that covered my body disappeared, I was already sitting on the sofa in her room.

"Afternoon, Syntyche," I greeted her casually. Luckily I had a memory of her mansion from when I bound her with my contract so I could teleport anywhere in this place easily.

"Afternoon, Your Highness," she replied. She didn't look surprised at all by my sudden arrival. She was also already sitting on the sofa across from me. She looked calm although I could catch nervousness on her face.

"You should text me or telepath me if you want to talk. You don't need to send your Spyder for it. We are partners, remember?" I reminded her in a calm tone.

"I know. But I don't know much about you so I thought sending you my Spyder would be something more polite," she reasoned.

Well, she got a point. Although we were partners, for her, we were still strangers.

"I see... So what do you want to talk about?" I glanced at the table in front of me which was filled with strange food. Most of them were living insects. Some human countries did consume insects, but not in my country. Moreover, those insects were more... terrifying and much bigger.

"First of all, I am glad that you came, Damian. This is a gift from me. Please try it," she said as she offered me the plate of food.

The plate contained various kinds of insects. There were demonic beetles, spiders, worms, caterpillars, ants, centipedes, cockroaches, scorpions, and other creepy crawlies. It was served with a glass of wine.

That sight made my stomach swirl.

"Sorry. I must decline. I just have my lunch," I refused politely, maintaining my composure.

"That's a pity..." One of her spider legs pierced a live insect on the plate. In an instant, it didn't move anymore due to her poison. "I have prepared all of it yet you turn it down," she said in disappointment.

'Should I remind her that I am an incubus, not a spider?' I thought. But I decided to undo my intention. "Sorry about that."

"Never mind. I already had my lunch . These are just snacks." She flicked her spider leg and threw the insect to the other side of the room. But something got it stuck in mid-air. A sign that this room was filled with her web trap.

Soon, the Spyders immediately surrounded that poor insect like a swarm of ants that had just found sugar.

"So? Did you change your mind about me?" I tried to change the subject.

"I won't say I changed my mind... I'm just curious about the way you think and why don't you act like the most incubus. Thinking with their dick," she asked me in curiosity.

A frown appeared on my forehead.

"So--- you want me to think with my dick? Do you prefer that kind of guy?" I replied with another question. I wondered if I acted too 'indemon'.

She bent her head a bit in response.

"Not really..." she answered in a much lower tone.

"Then what?"

"I just want to talk. Like getting closer so we can get to know each other better," she confessed.

I was stunned. Did I hear it wrong? She wanted to get closer to me? Like a normal relationship for humans? I thought all demons mostly deepened their relationship with sex.

"Fine," I answered her in confusion and used my teleport skill once again to move to her side.

"So where do we start?" I asked in a casual tone.

"Um--- I think you are too close," she said nervously.

There was still a one-third-meter gap between me and her since I didn't want to get too close to her spider legs. So I was kinda confused by her request.

"Fine. I thought this would be a good start for us, but I think I acted too quickly." I just wanted to teleport back to my previous position, but she caught my wrist.

I turned to her in response. Our eyes met each other.

"Wait, I changed my mind," she said quickly. "Stay here," she added.

A second later, she released her hand nervously.

"Oh. Right, I forgot." She quickly hid her spider legs. In an instant, it disappeared. "They won't scare you anymore."

Another frown appeared on my forehead.

"You're acting weird. Are you in love with me?" I asked straight to the point. Since she was my partner, my system couldn't catch whether she fell in love with me or not. But I did catch the nervous status of her emotions. Well, it was clear on her face. But wasn't this too soon?

"No. I'm not in love with you. I just wanted to get to know you better," she explained. Her cheeks were red and her eyes were wide open. Her lips were slightly parted. The tension in her body was obvious.

A smirk appeared on my lips.

'That's 100% a lie,' I thought.

"Damian, may i know how you feel about me?" she asked me hesitantly.

That question made my smirk fade.
