Chapter 14: The Posture Is Incorrect

The after-class punishment lasted surprisingly long.

Or rather, it was unbearably long — her legs were getting sore from standing.

It was almost time for class to end, yet the Prince had never once glanced her way. He just kept teaching as if nothing was wrong, occasionally taking his time to answer questions from certain eager female students who raised their hands.

Ye Lu could see it clearly — of the entire class, it was that Little Rabbit sitting in the front row who raised her hand the most.

Every time, she would pretend to know nothing, making the Prince come over to help her with problems she supposedly didn’t understand.

Then, she would look at the Prince with that lingering gaze.

How could Ye Lu, born and raised in the Succubus Race, not understand?

That was affection.

Of course, it wasn’t that she hated the Prince getting close to that Little Rabbit she liked.

It was that she hated this girl who only pretended to be innocent in public, but was actually a slut.

Every time she saw them interact, Ye Lu felt a sour ache in her heart — a very uncomfortable feeling, one she couldn’t quite describe.

It was probably…

She didn’t want the Prince to be with other women…

Was she jealous?

…

Although in her ideal she had wanted to find a subspecies girl as a future wife, from childhood to now, she had never even held a girl’s hand, let alone fallen truly and wholeheartedly in love with one.

Now that she had become a girl, she felt this way about the man who had kissed her just yesterday.

And it felt a bit inexplicable.

Even she found it unbelievable.

As expected, this female succubus body was really problematic, wasn’t it?

Ring ring ring —

The bell for the end of class interrupted her thoughts.

Finally, class was over…

She curled her sore legs and peeked her head inside.

Inside the classroom, the Prince didn’t linger at all. After waving goodbye to the students, he grabbed his book with one hand and walked toward the door where she was standing.

Ye Lu snapped her gaze back as if shocked, instinctively closing her legs together and lowering her head, putting on an obedient waiting expression.

In the shadow, her lips were pressed tightly in a straight line from excitement.

She was actually looking forward to the Prince coming over to say something to her, to do something…

But things didn’t go as she wished, and in the end, her expectations fell flat.

That neat step wearing dress pants and leather shoes — from the moment it entered her lowered line of sight, it didn’t pause for her even a second, sliding right out of her view like a straight line.

…Ah?

As the footsteps grew farther away, Ye Lu suddenly looked up, eyes wide, staring in disbelief at his broad back as he walked away.

“Prince…?”

She called out weakly.

Being ignored like this, treated as if she were air.

For a moment, she didn’t know why, but it felt as if all her strength had been drained away by something.

Until the man’s figure gradually disappeared around the corner of the corridor, her gaze still couldn’t bear to look away.

After a long while.

Ye Lu lowered her eyes, slowly raised her fingertips, and brushed them over her lips — the lips she had repeatedly pressed and licked until they were glistening and moist during class, those lips that were absolutely soft for a girl.

Having once been a man, she was absolutely confident about that.

Though her identity was a bit lowly, there shouldn’t be any man who could refuse something like this…

But the Prince had simply left.

Without even turning back.

As expected, yesterday’s kiss was just a whim, wasn’t it?

Simply… he wanted to taste what a girl was like, so he went after her, a girl who had still been a man just yesterday?

And then… nothing more?

Didn’t he realize that the one he went after was actually a succubus?

A succubus who marks with scent, a succubus who will crave you by instinct?

A succubus who can’t sleep well at night and has no taste for food without your kiss?

Isn’t that purely selfish?

Ye Lu fumed inwardly, though there was really nothing to be angry about — after all, the other party was a Celestial Demon, the “Homelander” of this world, who could do whatever the hell he wanted.

…

Forget it, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Just treat it as training perseverance. After all, Ye Lu had never thought of contacting any man before this.

The real culprit was still this succubus instinct that made her want to love a man the moment she saw one, and couldn’t help but love him.

…

That’s what she thought, but she still felt like crying.

She could only blink her eyes hard.

Now that the teacher who had made her stand as punishment had left, there was no point in staying there.

So she dragged her feet, her mood even more desolate than losing her sense of taste, and stepped into the classroom.

But she hadn’t taken more than a few steps inside when she clearly felt a hostile atmosphere toward her.

It was as if… the whole world was targeting her.

Now everyone in the class was drawn to look at her, their eyes full of various strange glances, and most of them were boys.

And those disgusting looks were no less than the goblin who had used a move she taught him earlier to harass her during breakfast.

After a vacation, they hadn’t changed at all, just as Ye Lu knew.

“That cute succubus… the one standing as punishment at the door during class, staring at the teacher the whole time. Don’t you think she’s got a great figure?”

“Yeah, not bad. Is she a transfer?”

“Mm, she’s also the succubus that the Prince forcefully kissed at yesterday’s opening ceremony.”

“Really?”

“Absolutely true. Lots of people saw it, including me. Too bad we were far away, didn’t see clearly, but I heard she was the one who seduced the Prince first.”

“Leaving that aside, look at her figure… isn’t it sexy? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one that hits me like this. As expected of a succubus.”

“Especially those breasts, feels like you could bury your face in them… tsk tsk, just thinking about it gets me excited. So, Night Dou, want to consider nabbing her?”

“No… I wouldn’t dare. I don’t touch what belongs to the Prince.”

“Hey, that’s not right. I think she looks more like our class’s Ye Lu. After all, he’s also a succubus. He hasn’t been to school for two days. Could it be… he lost?”

A boy behind joined in.

A few girls couldn’t stand it and quietly tried to stop the men’s endless chatter, but most were actually the same as the men.

They gossiped as usual.

They really couldn’t muster any goodwill toward a female succubus — after all, she was that kind of girl… not many girls were truly willing to be friends with a succubus.

Of course, except for succubus punks with strong boyfriends.

.

.

Ye Lu couldn’t stand staying here as soon as she arrived.

She quickly slipped out of their sight and walked out, just as it was recess.

It was better to wander around, so she wouldn’t have to come back to this inescapable cage when class started.

The one thing that was somewhat heartening was that as soon as she walked a few steps, Bell from the classroom must have noticed something wrong with her and quickly followed out.

“Getting used to it so quickly?” Bell tilted his head, pulling a light smile.

“No, I just have no clothes left, so I have to wear this.”

Ye Lu naturally knew Bell was teasing about this female JK school uniform that exposed her legs.

But she was distracted now and couldn’t care less about the teasing tone in Bell’s voice.

“Isn’t it pretty good? Like this, I’m sure it won’t be long before you become a mature succubus. Hmph hmph, just kidding, of course.”

“Heh, so funny.”

“Is it?”

Bell scratched the back of his head.

Walking with her friend, the air clearly became fresher, even though this guy wasn’t good at conversation.

At least he could act as a mood stabilizer.

When the two of them strolled to the stairwell, Bell paused.

“I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but the stairwell seems to have become more damp than usual today?”

“It’s different from ordinary dampness — it sends chills down your spine.”

“I feel it too. It suddenly became so cold…”

“…”

“Then, miss, do you need my jacket?”

“Gross.”

She felt nothing for Bell.

While bickering with Bell, they turned the corner at the stairwell entrance. Just as they were about to go down another flight of stairs, that figure suddenly appeared before them without warning.

?

Bell quickly stepped back, putting some distance between himself and the succubus Ye Lu.

The man was taller than Bell, his hair longer, and his face much more handsome.

Still the same dark gold hair, an immaculate face with interwoven patterns, and that arrogant, condescending gaze when looking down.

Only the halo behind his head and the wings were gone. Without the teacher’s coat, his appearance had changed a lot from the form Ye Lu had seen when they first met.

“Prince, this is our first time meeting… well, actually, we have no particular relationship. We’re just ordinary friends. If you want to cut ties, feel free anytime.”

Bell clarified himself, backing down very quickly.

The Prince held his head high, gave Bell an odd look, then waved his hand.

“Go.”

“Thank you.”

With permission, Bell scurried away, disappearing within two seconds down the stairs, kicking up dust.

…

“Ye Lu, we meet again.”

“Prince…”

Ye Lu was a mix of surprise and delight.

“Oh, you still remember my name. May I ask what this is about?”

After a moment’s thought, Ye Lu lowered her head again, originally intending to act a bit more cold and aloof.

But her spade-tipped tail betrayed her emotions, wagging unintentionally.

“…”

“Do I need to ask?”

“Last time I had no real sensation. Today I finally have time, so naturally I have to study you properly.”

“…Ha… study?”

“What… eep~~!”

The whole little succubus, whether she was still angry or not, was ruthlessly picked up by him.

“Pr… Prince… so high~ What are you… ahh! Put me down! I can walk on my own.”

“Wait, wait! Let… let go!”

‘The position’s all wrong, you bastard…’

‘Where are your hands going?’
