<~> Chapter 196Everyone eaking quietly when I walked dowairs with Man, Torien, and Mimi following behind me. Man hadn't let go of my hand even after reassuring her for a while. The two of them were still ag meek but they had mao st at least. They haven't spoken much yet and I was still worried about them, but the night was still only getting started.

  Lorriene didn't think this pce was safe anymore and I kind of agree. With the King dead, all sorts of different things could happen and with the way seoward beastfolk was in this city, it would only be a matter of time before the Tamin church, the guards, or both decided to raze this part of town. Hopefully not literally. Killing a king would obviously introduce quite a power vacuum and sidering that Sorsette had told me that only 'ending the King's bloodline' would release the cursed colrs, that didn't leave mu for misinterpretation. It implied a ck of any potential heirs or even bastards.

  The kingdom had been cut off at the head and there would probably be some kind of fight over succession anization of the gover. That would probably run current with some sort of scapegoat being decided on however. Best case sario they go hunting for demon cultists and find them quickly, worst case sario they burn down all of the slums looking for them. Either way, it would probably be safer to relocate away from here regardless of what happens.

  "If we're hiding out with the elves should I abandon the pn of pretending we weren't involved tonight and showing up at the guard's offiorrow?" I interrupted their current discussion as I finished ing dowairs.

  Lorriene sighed and looked over at Cecilia who suddenly looked lost in thought. "If you're asking if you would be allowed to e and go from the embassy, that would depend on whoever's in charge there. It would probably still be wise to pretend as if you were nowhere near where the King died."

  "Are you sure they would be willing to put all of us up in the embassy?" I asked, waving at the rge number of people sitting on the first floor of the inn. Two more people had joined, I reized them as people who had also been w as staff for the inn.

  "If we were only trying to take shelter because of the riots and the unstable situation iy, then no," Cecilia replied. "But sidering they were told to coordih me while I kept an eye on you, they will be willing to shelter everyohere until things calm down or we leave. It will just require a little bit of expnation and a few meetings with Tarklin when he eventually returns to the capital. sidering what you told me I could tell him, that shouldn't be any more than you were already pnning on doing. Your e as a target of io him and my e as his cousin should give us plenty of reason to stay, even with the rge group."

  "Lilith..." I turo see Torien looking at me. "Were... you involved in killing the King?" she asked quietly.

  I frowned. "Yes and no. We uedly had a meeting with the king... and Silva killed him using magic before they could react to it."

  Torien's face turo shod turo Silva who was sitting near Lorrie a table. Then her eyes trailed down Silva's ned stopped there. The look must have reminded Silva of the differen weight on her neck because she started rubbing the freshly healed spot.

  "Silva ripped off her colr using lightning magic, activated a hidden ritual circle on her leg, and killed the Guard Captain and the King in a matter of moments. She says she's been an assassin for 'The Order of Lilith' this eime." I told them.

  Torien subtly stepped closer to me and partially behihe aade me sad even against my better judgement. I didn't know what to make of Silva either frankly but the idea that Toriehis wary of someone she had been so close to was a little sad to witness.

  "The four of us are members of the Order too," Lorriene suddenly said, pointing out the woman who smuggled out the pantharians and the two staff members. "—which is why I'm a little fused and ed that someone sharing the name of my order walked in with my nieces in tow. Especially with Silva swearing up and down that you're not just a Lilith, you're the Lilith."

  "Don't worry," I replied. "I'm just as ed a group of people are running around using my name. I had heard you were another demon worshipping cult." I knew a little more about it now but it robably best to air my s first.

  "Well, I thought we were," Lorriene said with a barking ugh. "Which is why I'm fused why a [Demon Hunter] is calling herself by our namesake." Her eyes looked at the twins for a moment before fog bae. "If you're not the real Lilith then I'm afraid that you might know too much about us. I love my nieces but I won't allow that insult to go unchallenged." The mirth from her demeanor was go was clear to everyone in the room that she was saying she would kill me for it. She was a pletely different person from the one who was doting on her nieces just st night.

  "rove it," Silva said. She g Torien and frowned before looking back at me. "Make me a Succubus. Now that this is out in the ope me earn bae trust, that way I'll be uainst you. Truthfully I had been waiting for this the moment I found out about you, but I wasn't ready to reveal myself until now."

  I shook my head and sighed. "Why now? Why let me follow pointless leads in Goldeh? I've been looking into The Order of Lilith since we heard about them from that Tamin priestess."

  "What was I supposed to say?" Silva asked. "We had just fought demon cultists that entire night, you had just killed your first sapient and had been rattled by it. The Order doesn't summon demons but it does worship someone all the prophecies say was supposed to be a demon. You didn't even tell us why you wao know about them, other than the obvious. I o know more about what you wanted first. If you would be hostile, if the order that had pulled me out of the mud gave me a purpose was going to be shunned by you. And so I followed you, took your measure, protected you, and finally settled on what I would do after you transformed Cecilia and fave her for spying on us. I trust you. I have believed you were the Lilith sihe Ruby Vixen but I wasn't ready yet. But now, everything is out in the ope me prove who you are to Lorriene and the others by doing something I've wao do since I found out about it. Lilith, let me serve you. Let me be the bridge between you and the Order of Lilith." Silva stood up from her chair before moving to the ter of the room and kneeling there.

  "W-what about me?" Torien's soft voice said from behind me.

  Silva looked over at Torien with a sad smile. "I'm sorry, Torien. I'm sorry I had to lie to you too. But this is what I want. I know part of you was holding bae and I'm sorry. We've talked about it a lot and I know you're still unsure. You still have time to make up your mind but I've already made up mine. I promise all the affe and love I've shown you has been real. It wasn't just a cover if that is something you're fearing right now." Silva turned bae. "Please, Lilith." She rested her hands on her knees and stared up at me. "I want this, allow me to bee a succubus."

  I sighed and scratched the base of my horn. Fubsp;I still hadn't had time to fully process the sense of betrayal that I felt over this. At the same time... She had never hurt me, she often protected me... But she lied to me. I had panicked when I first found out about the prophed she just... let me tio panic.

  However...

  If I didn't turn her right now... would I ever be able to trust her again? The oath... kind of enforces that she'll be on my side evee any of her allegiances. If she had to choose, she would be forced to e, or at least stay out of my way. The Order of Lilith now had two people that were very important to my friends, both Silva and Lorriene. If we were at odds with each other the twins would have to choose sides, it would be best if the Order of Lilith were allies. I would have to find out more about them but at least I would still have Silva on my side.

  I realized what I would do ohose words went through my mind. I still wanted Silva on my side. I still wanted to be able to trust her. She still felt like my friend, even if she had been lying to me. I was still someset about it, but I could get over it. As for the transformation... she's heard the speech a huimes by now. If she wants to bee a succubus, then I honor that.

  Opening my eyes, I stepped closer to her. "Okay. I'll accept you the the oath."

  Before I even began to rey it to her she started speaking, "I swear not to knowingly wainst you, Lilith, and serve you faithfully. I wish to bee a succubus and join your family."

  My eyebrows raised at the slightly modified oath, delivered directly to me instead of in third person and with an additional piece that put herself under me. Despite the modifications to the oath, the ges started immediately, kicked off by a moan.

  "Gods, why does it feel so good," Silva gasped out.

  Her brown hair lighteo be bright white and her snow white rabbit fur darkened into a deep bck. Her rough and scarred skin smoothed out and became free of her many scars and blemishes. Her skin lightened slightly but kept its tawny hue, maintaining her sunkissed look. Her light yellow eyes deepened into a rich gold color that shimmered in dim light as the hard angles of her face softened and became a bit more traditionally beautiful. It was also as if ten years had vanished from her face, she now looked like she was in her early twenties rather than approag her mid-thirties.

  "Oh fuck," Silva moaned out. "Mimi, take my clothes please..." Without a word, Mimi stepped a few paces closer and Silva's efit vao the newer onlooker's surprise.

  The bck fur of her legs crept up her body a bit more but settled at the crest of her hip bohe fur followed the lines of it and dipped between her legs but avoided spreading to her crotch, leaving her with a perfectly smooth vulva betweewo furred legs. Those hip bones began to widen slightly and her breasts began to grow to the size of taloupes, giving her a curvier but still very muscur look. To cap her transformation off, a new cute and fluffy bck tail grew from the base of her spiwitg and wiggling behind her.

  Silva cried out in pleasure as she came a siderable amount onto the floor while everyoched. Her new pretty bck ears drooped a little as she panted in pleasure and caught her breath. The room had gone pletely silent as everyoched the transformation. The onlookers who hadn't seen aransform before looked on iorien's tail was swishing bad forth behind her while she ser focused on the show.

  The Rabbit demi-beastfolk woman shakily got to her feet, pletely unashamed of her nudity in front of all the other people. It was the first time I'd seen her pletely naked outside of a couple actal enters. She had always looked rather attractive but now she was absolutely stunning. Before her muscurity detracted a bit from her femininity but now the two worked together to make her look exotid beautiful.

  She smiled at Torien but fingers gripped my shirt for support. Even Man had perked up a little, curious to watch the show. Over oher side of the room Raya and Sibyl were whispering things to each other and I even caught Cecilia sneakily removing her hands from her panties, unaware that most of the people in the room could see better in the dark than she could.

  Silva looked right into my eyes and bowed a little. "Thank you for yift. Mother."

  Saine

  Hello! Looks like Silva has itted to bee a Succubus now that the truth is out. She also ged her look up a little opting for a more bck bunny look than the white furred look she had going before. I wonder how many of you saw this ing now that her reason for avoiding it is gone. Anyway, I hope you ehanks for reading!
