Ghoul King's Harem

Chapter 262 262: A Reunion After So Long...

****

"It's been so long, hehe. Did you miss me?" Samantha's cheeky face, the way she would bend forward to give a sneak peek at her breasts when they spoke together. Alexander remembered it all the way, but he was just too stunned.

To him... it was like a miracle. "I thought I would never see you again." His body moved forward, hugging her tightly, pulling her off the ground as they hugged tightly. Her eyes narrowed like a cat as she began to sniff his chest...

"Mmm... me too, but Althea is too kind and made a way..."

'That little fairy that plays such evil games with Maria did?'

Alex couldn't quite believe it, but the blue-eyed girl he once slept with on a whim and gradually fell in love with had returned. However...

Alexander sensed something was wrong with her as her temperature was far too low; her heartbeat was steady at 26 beats per minute; even Althea, Maria, Stella and the others beat anywhere from 50 – 180... Samantha seemed too abnormal.

"I'm sorry for letting you suffer in the first place..." Alexander felt terrible for letting the woman he liked live out those months in eternal hell while he lived splendidly here. No matter what... it hurt him greatly.

"Shhh...." Samantha smiled beautifully, her arms wrapping around Alexander's neck; however, their kiss wasn't full of passion like Ayami's earlier... somehow, it lacked warmth and was colder than ice... but Alexander realised she was changed.... slowly the tongue became smaller, and her hands warmer... eventually he opened his eyes to see the silver hair and red eyes of Althea kissing him deeply, her tiny body trembling excitedly until she withdrew.

"Why did you become Althea...." Alexander was dumbfounded; although he knew that Althea and Maria enjoyed playing tricks and games, this one was a little too harsh for him as he was almost angry... then Althea's eyes were a little teary, as droplets of cold tears streamed down her face, with Maria coming from the boxes to the side with a frown. 

"Don't make Althea cry, Master! She just wanted to make you happy... Samantha's sister is still inside and wants to come out... but Althea can only keep the spell up for a short time... we spent all afternoon with Sister Samantha fighting and killing things... that's why she went back to sleep...!"

Alexander felt horrible, the fast he almost shouted at Althea because of his pitiful desires... but if she could come for that long. He looked at the cute Althea, who looked upset and pulled on his jacket.

"I got this power... not long again, Samantha came to me in my dreams, and then we started playing together... she said she missed being with you... so we made a spell together... Old woman and Claudia helped too!" Althea explained cutely, wiping away her icy tears. Alexander finally realised why the old witch was exhausted lately and complained about the two girls making her work overtime... then ran to his bed for a "Charge Up!"

"Thank you... both of you."

Alexander bent down; however, Althea transformed back to normal and flew upwards as he watched her return to Maria with a slightly sleepy face... meaning the mana requirement was immense... both must have trained or pushed themselves...

He stepped forward and vanished from their sight, and before the two could run away, he hugged them tightly; now they reached Stage Five, and both of them were back to their adult-sized bodies, but they were still a little childish.

"Both of you, don't run away..." Alexander sighed heavily, stroking their silky hair; their bodies became heated under his gentle caresses, Maria trembling as Althea blushed... Their emotions were far higher than most... with Althea opening her mouth quickly.

"Samantha says to make you happy next time...she will call you hubby..." Althea mumbled. Maria looked stunned and quickly jumped away and pointed to him with a sassy look.

"The other Maria also wants to talk! She is always here with me now, and tells me things or how to speak or act... so I want you to meet her... she wants to thank you for everything... even though you were just an annoying handsome guy before that ignored her confession!" Maria crossed her arms as Althea covered her face; she found Maria saying weird things that didn't suit her cute face.

Alexander looked amused, hugging the two valkyries before releasing them... "Well... bring out this Maria so I can meet her next time.

'So it seems both of them... can interchange between their former personalities... or is this the process before the two merge and become one singular persona? Althea and Samantha... Maria now and the Maria who was killed."

Alexander walked towards Claudia's tower after dropping the two playful girls off... he was lost in thought about the incoming horde and the return of Samantha and Maria... this probably meant he should tell Claire when it became more solid, and she could meet her friend again for the first time in months... 

'Stella's mother...' Claudia summoned him to her private tower, leaving him confused as they didn't have much to discuss after everything had happened. Though Alexander guessed she had something important after watching the first battle against the horde's first wave... but what was it?

Upon stepping in front of her tower, he could sense dozens of energies emitting from it and many powerful energy sources... They were the secret protectors of the former Queen, and there were just as many around Stella now...

The woman he saw first was the same one that kept seducing him since they first met... soft pink skin with a purple hue, a hairy crotch covered with her small g-string, and a more adult clothing choice now like a true succubus, as if to appeal to him. 

"Elanor... if you look that sexy, I might just violate you..." 

"Fufu, I am happy for the compliment and await your action!" Elanor giggled like a girl; her succubus tail flickered sensually before leading him towards Claudia, who sat at a table with many notes and food...

Alexander felt strange...

"Alexander... sit down..." For Claudia to be calling him casually by name showed she trusted him, but the purple-skinned Elanor's sassy remarks and light hip rubs distracted him as he grabbed her bare ass, causing the succubus to moan cutely before vanishing... it seemed even the seduction level decreased for her as he walked towards Claudia before taking a seat and grabbing a snack.

"I heard from Althea and Maria... Thank you for helping them learn how to do that..." Alexander spoke honestly; however, Claudia snorted, waving her hand dismissively; she hated owing people but could trust Alexander to pay her back later.

"You already paid me by saving Stella and being her King... Situation aside... these are my estimates about the horde and its abilities compared to our army capabilities... Tell me if you think it is flawed..."

Claudia handed a piece of paper over to him...

 Stage One Zombies x 500,000 - Weak soldiers can kill

 Stage Two Zombies x 50,000 – Hard for Soldiers to kill without enchantment weapons

 Stage Three Mutants x 2000 – Good amount of weak ghouls among them.

 Stage Four Ghouls/Mutants x 200 - Extreme danger without enchantments and armoured troops

 Stage Five Ogres x 30 - Dangerous without enchantments, but death will still occur with enchanted equipment unless slaughtered without pause.

 Stage Six Elite Mutants x 200 - Highest threat; Soldiers need enchantments or armour of decent quality to fight just to survive.

 Stage Seven Zombie Lord - Undoubtedly, only Claudia, Brunhild or Alexander can handle this, but it will leave massive injuries/fatigue for the time being

Alexander read aloud Claudia's sheet and felt that it was amazing to have come to such an accurate conclusion... He wondered why it was so important to meet him here, though, and why the 200 top elite succubi were all standing in lines at the back of the room, watching with a strange gaze.

"Alexander, you will become the King of this kingdom, but you must understand as it is our strongest forces are me, you and your mother... that is not enough and once the third wave starts for real, we will be locked here in battles with multiple stage Seven lords...!" Claudia slammed her hand onto the table, frightening Alexander, but her next words terrified him!

"Our troops are insufficient, and even with the dwarves crafting thousands of equipment a month... we cannot protect this place forever with the limited supplies and resources... Stella has grown exponentially and must marry you publicly, as tradition states... But this isn't enough!" 

Her eyes looked at him, then towards Elanor... "You understand how a Succubus can grow stronger, right?"

Alexander understood somewhat; Sapphira explained succubi needed a male to reach Stage Six, unlike him, but once they became stronger, they would not degrade; however, the final step into being a Stage Seven Succubus took far more energy and power than she currently possessed...

Claudia tapped the paper, causing the Elite 200 troops behind them to strip naked... "I want you to handle these women, including Elandor as their captain."

"Eh...?" Alexander didn't want to sleep with women for the sake of it, and Claudia was supposed to know this... he was about to argue back when the succubi elites all began to speak in turn.

"Please grant us the delight of laying with the king, I ask but one night a year... and I will fight for you with my entire soul!" A small, purple succubus with brown hair chanted.

Another taller succubus followed up in a sensual voice. "Even if we die, Alexander ... Please use our lives to serve you for eternity, as our life's dream is to lay with such a magnificent leader..."

One after the other, Alexander began to sweat lightly, listening to their requests; their tone became deeper and more intimate until the tall, purple Elanor appeared...

"I beg you to become my master, king and lover... we will not seek marriage or the romance that the other might. We are proud Succubus knights! We only seek your affection for one day a year; if you have time, and are horny, then push us down, and we will be delighted. We must protect you and Stella. "

lightsΝοvel Alexander's mouth fell open as Claudia rolled her eyes...

These succubus knights were rejecting feelings, marriage and family ties so long as he promised them one day a year; they wished to serve as the King's knight guard if he laid with them once in a while out of lust that was enough... He didn't understand...

"Alexander, these girls all requested to have you as their partner after hearing, seeing and experiencing your sex with Stella... Normally, a Succubus knight would never meet a male that truly satisfies their desires, and upon doing so, they would have to quit their role... becoming your woman means they can remain as royal guards as you are the king." Claudia added... her eyes were not toying around or playing. She was serious about this...

Alexander leaned back in the chair, drinking the sweet tea that tasted of roasted apples and honey.
