True Incubus: The Demon with No Limits

"You are saying... he got the demonic blood... three months ago?"

Aevrienne’s expression changed the very next instant.

"...Yes?"

Naomi frowned at that.

"No, no. I do not think you understand."

Aevrienne shook her head. She pointed towards the screen showing Lucian’s face and—

"You are telling me he was a normal human three months ago?"

"It might be a little more than three months, I didn’t count, but yes."

"What...?"

Aevrienne couldn’t believe it.

"What?"

Naomi was confused as well.

Aevrienne’s frown deepened.

She tried to make sense of it.

"Are you sure about this? Could it be possible that he hid it from you?"

"No, I—"

Before Naomi could even answer that question, Aevrienne shook her head.

"No, if he was trying to fool you, you wouldn’t have known. Forget that, answer me this: did you, at any time you spent with him, notice that he was much stronger than normal? Or maybe a little too charming? Did you notice anything, even the tiniest odd thing about him?"

She asked a bunch of questions and Naomi—

"Yes, I did notice something."

She nodded.

"See? Can you finally connect the do—"

"He was weaker than most people I knew."

"...What?"

Aevrienne’s expression changed and Naomi continued.

"He did not have any otherworldly charm you are thinking about, he wasn’t much stronger than normal, in fact, he was weaker. As I said, he struggled with the simplest of things, as for the odd thing about him...

It was his persistence.

His strength did not increase no matter how hard he worked in the gym, his mind did not grasp things at the rate others’ did, many people, including some of our teachers, said he wouldn’t pass their subject.

He did.

Every single time.

Barely, sure.

But he worked hard for it, without giving up.

That was the ’odd thing’ about him.

He never gave up, not when he was an ordinary human."

She then looked at the screen again.

"Not when he became... what he has become."

Aevrienne looked at Naomi, at the look on her face when she talked about the demon-blooded human. Naomi then turned towards her and smiled.

"That is Lucian. Be it now, be it three months ago, he is still the same, someone who cares about me, someone who forgot all the instructions he was given and entered the Trial just for me, someone who, even when he was facing someone as strong as Rhydan, made a deal that kept me safe no matter whether he won or lost, without caring about his own pride.

He is someone..."

Naomi kept looking into Aevrienne’s eyes.

"Who fought Varek, who screamed at him, who made himself the target, all when he could barely move, just so the Vampire wouldn’t target me.

And even after everything he did, even after all his limbs stopped working, even after he pushed himself to his absolute limits...

He still rejected your power and told you to give it to me."

Aevrienne continued staring at her with an unreadable expression on her face and Naomi—

She wasn’t done.

"You distrust him because of his connection to Demons, correct?"

Aevrienne did not say anything, but it was clear that was the only reason.

Aevrienne, like most Spirits, did not like demons or beings related to them. Demons were vile, they disturbed the world’s peace and craved death and destruction, they were selfish, manipulative and hateful.

And those connected to them were no different.

"If it helps... Lucian probably hates Demons more than you do."

Naomi spoke and for the first time in their conversation, Aevrienne’s fixed opinion regarding Lucian began to... shift a little.

"...What?"

She narrowed her eyes.

And Naomi—

Although she did not wish to say it out loud, she also needed that power so she too could be helpful to Lucian, and that could not happen unless Aevrienne’s opinion of him changed.

So she—

"The first Demon he ever met murdered his parents."

She revealed the truth and Aevrienne’s eyes changed.

It was working.

"He doesn’t trust them, nor does he like them.

You saw how his face changed when you mentioned your power allowed him to enter the Demon Realm, did you not?

Why did you think it affected him?"

Aevrienne did not know.

Naomi did.

"Revenge."

She explained.

"He wants revenge.

The demon who killed his parents, the only thing he wants is to find and kill him.

He isn’t trying to become one of them, he isn’t secretly working for them, if anything, he wants to annihilate them.

Also..."

Naomi turned back to Lucian again.

"His blood does not corrupt him."

This was something Naomi was very, very confident about.

"He is still Lucian, my closest friend and...

The man I love."

She admitted it out loud.

There was no point in hiding it anyway, especially if Aevrienne was going to stay with her from now on.

Aevrienne still remained silent, Naomi did not say anything else either, the silence lasted for a few seconds until suddenly—

"So he’s the boy, huh."

Aevrienne spoke up.

"The boy...?"

Naomi tilted her head.

"The boy you often mentioned when you came to the shrine."

"I mentioned him...?"

Naomi’s face turned red.

"Quite a bit."

Aevrienne laughed.

"I did not make the connection since you never said he was a demon, even when you told me about him three months ago, about how he disappeared and what happened...

You did not say he somehow got his hands on demon blood."

"That’s because... I did not want anyone else to overhear me.

I was... scared."

Aevrienne kept staring at her.

Just then—

Naomi’s expression changed.

"Wait, you remember everything I talked about?"

"Of course I do."

Aevrienne showed a playful smile.

"Even those you mentioned when you were a little girl."

She then turned towards the screen showing Lucian’s face again, then, like a woman gossiping about something important, she lowered her voice a little.

"I had always believed your heart belonged to him. I had hoped the two of you would one day find your way to each other.

That was also why I was so opposed to you getting close to him, I would rather you be with that boy you always talked about.

I never realized he and the boy were one and the same—"

"SHUT— SHUT UP!!"

Naomi screamed out loud, her face instantly becoming red.
