Fallen Chronicles

Chapter 171 Chapter 171: The Seduction Game

The pink-haired succubus paid no heed to Caroline, who she had cornered against the desk. With one hand, she lifted her secretary’s chin, her gaze then drifting down to the tight bulging black suit, stretched by the fullness of her chest, making one wish to undo every strained button on the white blouse underneath.

Retracting her gaze, Lena leaned close to Caroline’s ear, her breath warm against the secretary’s earlobe as she whispered seductively:

“What do you wish to learn from him? The art of seducing others? Or are you just pretending to study, secretly craving to experience being seduced yourself?”

A blush quickly climbed up from Caroline’s earlobes to her cheeks, and in a fluster, she hurriedly moved away from Lena, only then realizing the true meaning behind Lena’s use of “persuasion” – it was all about seduction.

Observing Caroline’s pristine and easily flustered demeanor, Lena shook her head in mild frustration, a look of disappointment on her face.

“Caroline, do you remember what we are?” Lena asked sternly.

“We’re succubus, understand? Look at yourself now, it’s embarrassing! You’re not fulfilling your role as a succubus at all!”

Caroline had endured Lena’s scolding, but the accusation of being inefficient at work struck a nerve. After straightening her disheveled clothes and adjusting her glasses, she defiantly retorted:

“I’m sorry, but I don’t understand milady. Didn’t you praise my work in the Sealed City earlier?”

“What was the purpose of sending you to Sealed City, Caroline?” Lena questioned.

“You asked me to transform it into a city of freedom and equality, making it a pivotal hub for the coexistence of humans and non-humans,” Caroline summarized Lena’s plan succinctly.

The pink-haired succubus seemed even more infuriated.

“And what about your actions? Purging the nobles? Investing in infrastructure to provide jobs? Regulating prices and markets? Acquiring media to control public opinion? You missed the most crucial point!”

“And that is?” Caroline inquired, puzzled.

“Seduction! What is our belief as succubus? How do you save a teetering nation? What’s the quickest way to reconcile two races? Seduction!” Lena exclaimed emphatically.

Caroline remained silent, processing Lena’s words.

“The guidance of the Old Alliance led the Dragon Nation to enslave and oppress the non-human races for nearly three hundred years. Simply unveiling conspiracies and breaking curses by the Empress won’t be enough to mend these deep-seated conflicts. True reconciliation between humans and non-humans can only be achieved over time. Do you understand what I’m implying?” Lena explained.

Caroline shook her head, still trying to grasp the full scope.

“It means this is our chance in Sin City! A golden opportunity for us succubus to spread our faith in the Dragon Nation! Do you think I’m selflessly helping the Dragon Nation and the Empress out of goodwill? Impossible! It’s time for us to reap the rewards, to harvest what we have sown!”

Lena continued, her excitement growing, “I’ve planned it all out. We’ll invest in Sin City’s media to expand into the Dragon Nation, especially focusing on opening brothels, particularly in the Sealed City, our key strategic point. We aim to transform it into a city renowned for its red-light district!”

Caroline, still standing dignified and taking notes, couldn’t help but sigh internally at Lena’s grand plan.

“What’s with that expression? Tell me, what situation allows people to be most honest? Procreation! What’s the most beautiful and purest bond in this world? Love! What truly unites two different races as one family? Offspring!”

“I’ve said it many times, we are the succubus of the new era, no longer bound by the old traditions. We’re not lowly or disgraceful. Wrong! What we’re doing is noble and praiseworthy. Remember this and take pride in it!” Lena said, her peach-shaped tail shimmering as she proudly stood.

“Understood, Milady” Caroline responded respectfully, despite her inner reservations.

Pleased with her secretary’s response, Lena nodded and took out two crystal orbs. “I’ve recorded the plans for this Nation’s future development in these. Once the Empress and my confidant return to Sealed City, since you’re so eager to meet him, you’ll be the one to present these.” 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝓂

“Lady Lena, won’t you meet your confidant personally?” Caroline asked, surprised by Lena’s decision.

The pink-haired succubus curled her lips dismissively.

“The earlier you appear, the cheaper you seem, and the less likely you are to succeed. The real winners always make their entrance at the very end, understand?”

“I don’t.”

“Good, then learn!”

While saying this, Lena handed the second crystal orb to Caroline.

“Is this also for your confidant and the Empress?” Caroline asked.

“No, this one is the exact opposite. They must never find out about it. You need to secretly contact the Holy Kingdom and ensure this gets into the hands of their Goddess!”

A smug, conspiratorial smile spread across Lena’s face.

‘Fond of forming alliances, huh?’

‘Enjoy ostracizing succubus, do they?’

‘Thinking they can outwit me? How laughable!’ 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Lena was eager to see the reaction of Suthia, the Divine Lady of Holy Kingdom, upon receiving this orb and witnessing the “recordings” it contained.

Meanwhile, Caroline was still in shock. “Hand it over to… the Goddess of the Holy Kingdom?”

“Yes, don’t worry about security. This orb has several layers of restrictions I’ve placed on it. It was originally set to be opened only by Suthia, but I’ve just modified it, so now you can also see its contents.”

“I can?” Caroline was astonished.

Being trusted and given such a secretive item, limited only to the Goddess by Lena herself, must contain something incredibly profound and possibly critical secrets. Could she really be privy to such information?

“Yes,” Lena confirmed, “because I think you need to learn a bit more about being a succubus.”

Caroline was still processing this when she carefully stored the two crystal orbs Lena had given her. As Lena was about to leave, Caroline had one last crucial report about the remnants of the Old Alliance, particularly the minister, Charl.

“Milady, Regarding the remaining member of the Old Alliance, Minister Charl, just before you arrived, my subordinates informed me that he seems to have disappeared. Should we send someone to follow up?”

“No need,” Lena cut her off abruptly. “He’s part of a deal I’m making with someone else.”
