Chapter 259: The Seductive Succubus Strikes, but Benefits the Elf Princess Instead (1)
A hand reached past him, pressing against the headboard. A pair of alluring, peach-blossom eyes locked directly onto his.
"This move," she said softly, "is called the 'kabedon.'"
Rong eagerly scribbled notes in her little notebook but suddenly paused.
"Wait a minute. Isn't the kabedon supposed to be initiated by boys?"
She lifted her head, a doubtful look in her eyes.
Queen Eden glanced back, giving Rong a disdainful look.
"And that's why you'll never be a mistress."
"Kabedon is meant to create a space where two people are alone. It's about close physical proximity, using eye contact and actions to convey intimacy."
"Who says only boys can do a kabedon? Girls can do it too."
Rong nodded, her head diving back into her notes, her eyes brimming with focus as she observed intently.
Shia's brow twitched. He hesitated, wanting to say something. The scene before him felt undeniably strange.
The Succubus Queen teaching the princess the art of seduction... using her man as the practice dummy?
And yet, to top it off, the one demonstrating wasn't Rong but Queen Eden herself?!
Before Shia could speak, he met Eden's deep, warning gaze.
Shia returned it with a glare of his own.
'—Don't take this too far!'
Eden understood his warning but dismissed it with a smirk.
With a raised brow and her back to Rong, she parted her ruby lips and silently mouthed four words:
"Dreamland. Closed. Room. Talk."
The mention of 'Dreamland' immediately brought back memories of that secluded little room where it was just the two of them.
But what happened between them wasn't just a negotiation.
Shia couldn't help but recall that sultry afternoon.
A pang of guilt tugged at him, thinking about how he'd betrayed Rong.
But wait a second—wasn't he the victim back then?
And besides, if anyone had betrayed Rong, it was Eden who made the first move, right?
Shouldn't 'she' be the one feeling guilty, not him?
So why did it feel like she was using it to blackmail him now?!
Eden's lips curled into a mischievous smile as she raised her voice to continue the lesson.
"The second step to seduction: create physical contact."
"For example, whispering secrets—things that feel exclusive to just the two of you. This kind of intimate atmosphere is perfect for deepening a connection."
As she spoke, Eden leaned down, her soft, curvaceous body pressing against Shia's. Her lips brushed against his ear as she whispered something.
Rong circled to the other side of the bed, watching their actions closely.
Though the distance kept her from hearing what Eden was saying, she diligently took notes, her gaze full of admiration.
'The Succubus Queen truly lived up to her name, with trick after trick in her arsenal.'
While Rong remained oblivious, Shia heard Eden's words loud and clear.
"Every little thing you did back in Dreamland was recorded," she murmured meaningfully.
"And you wouldn't want her to find out what you did, would you?"
Shia was stunned.
He turned his head to stare at her breathtakingly beautiful face, now so close.
'Seriously? You're really betting on whose moral compass is weaker?'
Eden raised her brows knowingly.
Morals? Limits? Those were shackles humans placed on themselves.
She didn't need to abide by such things.
If Rong found out, Eden would indeed bear more blame in the situation.
But would Shia dare to take that gamble?
No, he couldn't bring himself to stoop to her level.
All he could do was glare at her, reluctantly playing along with this strange lesson.
Eden's smile deepened, her tone becoming lighter as she teased him.
"Relax. You're enjoying yourself, aren't you? Just go with the flow~."
Shia looked up at the ceiling, utterly speechless.
Not a shred of comfort in her words.
"Of course," Eden continued, standing back up, "simple physical contact might not work if you're dealing with a boy who dislikes passive roles. It could even backfire."
She turned her attention back to Rong with a patient expression.
"That's why this approach needs to be paired with the third step."
Rong looked up from her notebook.
"What's the third step?"
"Create subtle, seemingly accidental moments of intimacy—but be mindful of the balance."
Eden turned toward Shia again, her face lighting up with a playful smile.
"Let's demonstrate for her."
Shia sighed helplessly but got up to cooperate, moving to sit on a small sofa nearby.
Eden picked up a fruit platter from the table and gave Rong a knowing glance.
"Watch closely."
With graceful, swaying steps, she made her way toward Shia.
Rong's eyes lit up.
'Serving her master?'
'This, she could do!'
However, what happened next completely short-circuited Rong's brain.
As Eden neared Shia, she suddenly stumbled, letting out a small yelp as her body fell forward—right into his lap.
Shia instinctively reached out, catching her in his arms.
In an instant, their bodies pressed together, a full embrace.
Eden looked up at Shia's face, her expression one of admiration and infatuation.
For a brief moment, she gazed at him like he was the most dazzling being in the world.
Then, just as quickly, she dropped the act, glancing back at Rong.
"Got it?"
