Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Of course, he couldn’t see beyond the light screen, but his unfocused gaze just happened to meet Franca, who was absorbing that power.

Franca, unwittingly locking eyes with Kael, suddenly felt that gaze a bit piercing, and a sense of poignant loss emerged in her heart.

Subconsciously, she changed her position, moving away from where Kael’s gaze was focused.

The heat of the pool water inexorably seeped into every part of her body, and the bathrobe, which loosened as it fluttered in the water, made her increasingly hot in the midst of comfort.

The beautiful witch, moving slowly in the pool, looked at Kael’s Seductive Demon Eye and blinked her blurred eyes. At that moment, a cold body slowly sank into the pool and pressed against Franca.

"Miss Franca wasn’t in the habit of sharing a bath with someone else, was she?"

Sapphire said in a low voice, pressed against her back.

Franca’s expression turned a bit awkward, with a flicker of worry crossing her face as she looked at the youth and said,

"Mainly because you haven’t built his baptismal pool yet, I—I just thought we could treat the newcomer to the house a little better."

But Sapphire didn’t see it that way. Although a magic creation herself, she was undoubtedly a masterpiece, her smooth, creamy hands gently caressing the beautiful witch’s body, soothing the stiffness caused by the massive inflow of Phoenix power.

Her creator’s foundational spirit granted her blunt speech:

"Miss Franca is in her thirties now, isn’t she?"

Franca’s expression stiffened for a moment, then defiantly said, "That’s not true, I’m 16!"

"Sapphire understands, 16 years and 184 months old. With us, you’ll always be 16, if you wish."

With that, Franca found herself at a loss for words.

But the heart-piercing words didn’t end there, as Sapphire’s voice let out a cheerful laugh, saying as she laughed,

"You’ve just turned... 16, pfft, the allure of a young girl, with nowhere to settle, lonely and unbearable, you’ve made swift progress on the path of the Dragon Vein Mage these past years, absorbing too much Dragon Blood.

Sapphire knows, Dragons, due to their difficulties in reproduction, bestowed a special blessing deep within their lineage, whether it’s the kind Dragon God Bahamut, or the Evil Dragon God Tiamat, in order to ensure the continuation of their race.

After all, with weak reproductive capabilities, they compensate with more frequent attempts, and Miss Franca, having absorbed so much, naturally has taken on some dragon traits.

I find young Master Kael quite handsome; his arms might not bear the weight of a giant dragon, but to lift a Dragon Vein Mage like a dumbbell is simple for him. Since we have time today, why not..."

Franca initially had no such thoughts; after all, she was just soaking in a pool, and her attire was still quite proper.

Being a decent Noble herself, she was mindful of the recent trend in some noble circles, where propriety had gone by the wayside, but she continued to uphold the traditional values.

Both were respectably dressed; one couldn’t assume they had engaged in a tryst just because they shared a pool, could they?

Yet, she didn’t realize that if Kael knew about this, he might just sing an old nostalgic tune, something like, "I’ve felt the evening breeze you’ve felt; does that count as an embrace?"

However, Kael’s character wasn’t such that he’d let his mind run wild in this situation.

After all, though Franca too was in the pool, her robe was neat and clean, unlike those who’d renamed their N-clothes "swimwear" and felt they weren’t bestowing any great favor by running on the beach in them. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Franca hadn’t thought much of it until Sapphire spoke thus. A flicker in her eyes, she subconsciously looked into Kael’s eyes, and his twinkling Seductive Demon Eye, though not directly confronting her, always gave her the sensation that Kael was watching her.

Her heart began to race unconsciously, her impeccable face, moistened by the sweat sliding down from her head, scorched her cheeks with heat.

Without thinking, she sniffed...

Hmm? That’s odd, did they use some special fragrance in the pool water today?

The scent was so refreshing and permeated every corner of her body, making her feel quite at ease, in fact, it even seemed to quicken the pace at which she absorbed the Phoenix’s power.

"Enough, Sapphire, don’t spout such nonsense. My relationship with this boy is purely that of an elder sister and younger brother.

Today is the first day I’ve met this child. Although I find him quite nice, your words will make future interactions between him and me awkward."

"Sibel’s child? He smells very much like his mother; I recognized it when he first arrived. Speaking of which, it seems like it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen Miss Sibel come around."

The beautiful witch fell silent for a moment, then said, "Sapphire, Sibel will never come around again."

Sapphire cocked her head, failing to grasp what the beautiful witch was saying.

She touched her chest instinctively and asked, "Miss Franca, did Miss Sibel go to a very distant place?"

"Yes," she replied faintly.

"But if she went to a very distant place, wouldn’t that mean she can no longer see young Master Kael?"

"That’s why I say, Sapphire, you are after all a Magic Creation, unable to understand our Human emotions... Alright, pour me some wine."

Sapphire reached into the depths of her maid outfit, which barely concealed anything, and soon, a goblet and a bottle of fine wine were produced.
