Male Leader? What's That?

''What? You damn fox, if there is someone playing with my mind, of course you need to tell me!'' I said to the fox as we on the way back to the queen's chamber. The worker bees were flying over us without caring about our presence.

''Why is that? You were fooled, yes, it has nothing to do with me,'' The fox said. ''Strengthen your mind if you have a problem about that.''

I took a deep breath to calm myself, ''If they managed to fool me once, why couldn't they do it a second time?'' I asked the fox.

It licked its paw, actually, its image in my mind licked its paw, ''Well, there are three possible reasons. Any or all of them could have caused. Firstly. your transformation into a succubus is processing more and more cells with every second passing. Succubus breed has a natural immunity to such things.''

I nodded, this was a piece of information commonly known, although no human knows about its details. ''What are the other two reasons?''

''Secondly, the shield you built to keep the raw desires of worker bees out is still active, which may have helped. Lastly, the pretty boy wasn't in his best condition,'' The fox said.

I shook my head in disbelief, ''I still can't believe an ordinary adventurer could have enchanted me this easily,'' I said.

The fox giggled in my mind, ''An ordinary adventurer huh? Are you sure about that? Look at him, look at them. You are out of illusion now. Once you see it, you can't ignore it anymore,'' It said.

I looked at Ian and Ina. They were both pretty tall, maybe 180 cm. Ian was in a suit of armor that might cost a fortune and I didn't remember he was wearing those before that second. The armor was glowing as if made of moonlight. His features were sharp and handsome.

Ina was wearing a navy blue sorcerer's robe and there were snowflakes embroidered on it. Like her brother, she had light hair and blue eyes, and she was too beautiful to belong to our world. Her features were sharp as if she was in a painting.

They both had pointed ears that proved they were not human. ''They're not humans of fairy lineage, they're fairies. They are from fae,'' I said with surprise.

''Yes, genius!'' The fox clapped its paws to mock.

''But why? Why would two fae nobles pretend as adventurers in a small human town?'' I asked in curiosity. I was assuming they were noble because they dressed like nobles, looked like nobles, and walked like nobles. The caste system of the fairies was much stricter than that of humans, you couldn't seem in a caste to which you didn't belong.

''How do I know?'' The fox rolled its eyes.

I thought everything I know about them including what I shouldn't know and what I should know. I had to pretend I wasn't aware of what was happening so that they didn't realize their illusion was failing. I didn't want me to think that a girl who only a few people in town knew existed was easier to erase from memory than to enchant me.

Ina and Ian were sister and brother. Ina was the sorcerer and Ian was the swordsman. I saw Ian sealing the stone door of the queen's chamber, but I should have assumed it hadn't happened. Ina had left the guild with us and had camped with us. In the morning, I wasn't even aware of there was such a person.

My head ached as I tried to remember the night we camped. For a moment, I was feeling like I knew what had happened, but as I thought it more, the memory was slipping out of my hands. I sighed and decided to think about that later while meditating.

We were already out of the hive. While we were in the hive the sun had risen and started to set, it was afternoon and I could feel my hunger grows. I was still sane but I was feeling like the sand flowing in the hourglass. In this case, the flowing sand was the energy that keeps me alive. I needed to be fed before midnight.

However, there was no way I could enchant the two noble fairies, I was level 1 above all else. It had to be Xander or Casey, and I had to do it secretly. ''I suggest you eat both,'' The fox said.

I sighed and rubbed my forehead, ''Why... just why there are two noble fairies? There is no fucking way for me to play their minds,'' I said.

''Hmm... Why do fairies scare horses to drop their riders, steal human babies, and sing to sailors to sink ships?'' The fox answered my question with another question.

''...just for fun. Or this is what we told,'' I said.

On the way back, while setting up the camp, collecting firewood, I looked for an opportunity to feed. Unfortunately, one of the fairies was always with me. Then, at an unexpected moment, the opportunity I was waiting knock.

I was on guard with Ina and Ian. Ina looked at my eyes, "We have things to do. Stay here, we'll be back in an hour," She said. I watched as their figures got lost among the trees. Then headed to the tent.

It is not my habit to leave my place of duty, but damn it, if I had to break a few rules instead of dying I'd do that.

As I got closer to the tent, I heard Xander and Casey's voices. "I thought you said you're not into me?" Xander said mockingly.

"It's just... when I saw you with someone else..." Casey mumbled.

"It's okay," Xander said. "I always knew you are like that, come here," His voice was somehow soft and deep at the sime time. I heard cloth rustle and breath sounds.

"How sad," The fox said in an artificial manner. "He's really taken now. You care about that, don't you? You really liked him, right?"

"Nevermind," I said. "My life isn't a story that I am searching for a male lead. They did it much more easier for me, I'm glad for that." That night, I fed on the couple that shares their lust for the first time in a tent at the middle of the forest. I have to say it was a great feast.
