The Way of a Demon Lord

"I came prepared." He said. "Are you ready?"

Her cheeks were tinted red. But she cleared her throat yet again and composed herself. "Have you tried it on anyone before?"

"Nope." He shook his head. "It's too precious to be used on just anyone. I had to use most of my stock of ultra-rare herbs and other ingredients I got from the High King."

"Father in law gave you herbs from the Royal treasury?" She squinted.

"It was an old bet. And apparently, he is a man of his words."

She relaxed her frown. A sense of relief grew in her heart. Better raw materials meant a better chance of success.

She got up on her feet, her face redder than before. Her smooth hands reach the cincture and began to untie it. Halfway through, she turned towards Adrian, only to see him staring at her body. Her face flushed even more.

"Look away!" She rebuked.

The smile on his face grew wider as he turned to his left.

She continued unknotting the cloth belt, but her eyes were now fixed on the man ahead. Soon, she was done. The silk blue robe fell to the marbled floor.

All she was wearing was light blue bra and panties. She got up on the bed and lied on her abdomen. She looked to the side, but away from him.

"You can look now."

Adrian turned to her and approached the bed. Soon, he was on the bed as well, but on his knees.

He scanned through her whole body, from top to bottom. One could feel the smoothness of her skin just from looking at it. Below her slim waist was a bountiful ass, barely covered by the blue piece of clothes. Below it- were a pair of motherly thighs.

Going further up, there was he could see her bra covered breasts making it difficult for her to lie down. He could see her clean underarms as she was using both of her arms as pillow, or rather- covers for her blushed face. Her silky hair was to the side, not covering her back.

He opened the cork of the bottle and poured a bit of the 'oil' to his other hand. He closed it again before putting it aside.

He rubbed both of his hands together. And before long, his hands were already on her bare skin.

"Mhmm…" She whimpered. Just the sensation of the liquid touching her skin gave a relaxing feeling. Level up or not, she was sure that there were no better massaging oil in entire Ervilia.

He began to elegantly and skilfully rub her back. His palms would occasionally emit magical energy, and that too- on the perfect spots.

A smile subconsciously formed on her face. She could feel the pleasure increasing. But that was not the main reason, but because of the fact that she could sense her magic core expanding, even though it was just by an infinitesimal scale.

The bigger a magic core was, the more difficult it was to expand it further. One needed to take stray magical energy from the atmosphere and guide it all the way to the nucleus. The more radius the spherical core had, the more resistance the incoming magical energy would face. Hence, it was extremely difficult for Aretha who had a magic core with a radius more than 7 millimetres to increase it any further.

Just the fact that her magic core expanded proved that the 'potion' was effective.

Adrian's hands kept moving on her smooth, and now- shining back. The oil made her fair skin even more reflective. His fingers traced through the long furrow on the centre of her back, all the way to the strap of her bra.

He unhooked it.

"Wha…" Her whole body stiffened.

"Relax." His charming and voice prompted her to calm down on reflex. "The more you relax, and the more pleasure you feel- the more pores on your body will open up. As a result, the more magical energy will penetrate into your skin and accumulate to your core." He explained.

She took her advice to heart and began to take the most out of his heavenly massage. She forgot that her bra was now detached.

Soon, her back was covered by the greasy liquid. He poured out oil again on his hand before moving to the side, towards her king and slender legs. He started from the sole of her feet.

His hand and fingers skilfully moved through the smooth legs- rubbing her skin, kneading her muscles. And in no time, both of his manly hands were on her butt cheeks.

Her face flushed, but she did not retort. She just sensed a wave of magical energy hitting her magic core, expanding it by a considerable amount.

Normally, she would have to use her full concentration to keep the wild magical energy in control while digging it deep into her magic core. But now, it was just too easy. She did not have to do anything. Moreover, just the massage alone was too good.

She would not mind even if she did not make a breakthrough today. The exquisite massage session and this slight enlargement of her magic core was already enough.

"Ah…" A soft moan escaped her lips as her face reddened even further.

He was kneading her soft ass erotically; all of his fingers sneaked into her tight panties and melded into her spongy butt. He fondled them, played with them for a considerable amount of time.

She was trying her hardest to suppress her moans. It has been years since she received any forms of sexual pleasures. And she was receiving exactly that from his skilfully hands. Once again, she could not say anything since she wanted the magical energy… and the feeling.

"Don't restrain the moans." His voice again reached her ears. "It will restrain the incoming magical energy." He gave her ass two tight kneads.

"Ah… mmh…" She began to moan. And sure enough, the rate of arriving magical energy increased. But now, all of her face was red. This was too embarrassing- to make such sounds in front of a junior, her own daughter's fiancé at that.

This continued for a few minutes, until he finally stopped. She stopped moaning as well and heaved out a sigh of relief. It was too much- the pleasure, the sense of taboo, and the embarrassment. Fortunately, it was over.

"You should have sensed by now." He said. "The rate of expansion of your magic core has retarded by a considerable margin."

"Ye… yes." She said, still not being able to completely compose herself. "Looks like even this miraculous concoction aren't out of the bounds of laws of potioneering." She continued.

"Yes." He nodded as he turned to the bottle of massaging oil. "The more you use it, the more its efficiency would decrease. But fortunately, it has its own perks as an oil."

She frowned, still looking away from him. "Like what?" She asked.

"Unlike the edible potions which you take through only one opening, the oil uses the uncountable pores you have all over your body."

Her eyes widened in shock. "You mean…" Her voice was shaking.

"Yes, the efficiency lessened for the openings in your back. But it will be as good as new for the pores on your front."

She gasped.

"Moreover, it will be even more effective since you have more pleasure spots at the front."

Her mouth was open wide agape. The chance of her breaking through to the next level- it was not low at all.

"So…" Her voice was shaking even more. "Wha- what should I do now?" She gulped.

"Isn't that obvious?" He smirked. "Turn over."

She swallowed her saliva yet again. She knew he was right. She contemplated for a few seconds before nodding inwardly.

She used one of her hands to press the unhooked blue bra against her breasts before turning over.

He came into her view. She subconsciously covered her mounds with her arms and looked away.

"Did you forget already?" His calming voice again entered her ears. "You have to relax."

She bit her lips for a moment before heaving out a sigh. She dropped her arms on the bed, parallel to her body. Her big boobs were now barely covered by the blue bra. Her face was still turned away from him.

He smiled and took the bottle again to his hand. Unlike before, instead of pouring it on his hand, he directly poured it on her flat belly. Some spilled over through the sides and a bit accumulated in her beautiful navel. But most of it stayed on her smooth abdomen.

"Ah…" It felt so good to her. Her face flushed again.

He began to use his manly hands again- skilfully and elegantly. He rubbed her belly, wetting his hands yet again. Then, he moved to her lower limbs- rubbing them, kneading them with both of his hands.

She let out a soft moan when his hands were very close to her crotch. But he did not cross any lines and moved to her untouched arms. He lifted one of her arms and massaged every part of it. He soon reached her underarms and the side of her breasts; he rubbed over them without a flinch.

"Ah…" Her face was heating up.

He moved to the other side of the bed, prompting her to turn her head again, and treated her other arm the same way.

He finally have her neck and shoulders a skilful massage.

Her magic core had already expanded by more than a bit by then. It was only a few steps away from reaching level 8. But each those steps were akin to climbing a mountain.

"Your highness." He called, removing his hands.

"Ye… yes?" She finally turned to him, her cheeks all red.

"You need to take that off.." He pointed at her breasts.
