"Hmm, if you want me to listen to your story... then you have to do a little something for me." He said after a short time of reflection.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, it's very simple..." later, all his attention was focused on Sabrina. "Sabrina, do you still have the potion you gave Yuer?" He asked.
"Yes, master, this is not a problem. I have enough truth potions for every student who is at the tower!" She replied by taking out a mixture of the same color as she had given Yuer. "It's a potion of divine rank. After ingesting it, I would strongly advise you not to lie for your good." She continued with a satisfying smile. Celestia's misfortune naturally made her happy.
"W-what?! Do you want me to drink something so suicidal? What is the point of lying to you? Anyway, what I'm about to reveal to you is something that only you would have more to gain!" Her heart ignited with disappointment when she saw Alvine so stoic. She, the dean of the most prestigious academy on the continent, will she need to use dirty tricks for a student?
"This is my condition, and you don't have to worry about it; the potion only takes effect during the first thirty minutes. Afterward, everything will become normal for you. If you refuse to take a simple potion of truth when you want to confess to me something very personal, how would I feel like you believe?!" He ended his words by pushing the small bottle in front of Celestia. "Oh you don't have to worry, there are no side effects. Yuer had already experienced this potion she can confirm." He continued his explanation while pointing to Yuer.
"Sigh, Lady Rina forced me to swallow this potion not even four days ago. There is no danger, at least, as long as you do not lie after drinking it. You probably wouldn't like what happens when you lie!" Yuer's voice was like a devil's murmur for Celestia.
"Sigh, very well. I'm going to drink your potion. But in exchange, I want you to drink the same potion too. There is no guarantee that what you want to give me is not poison or something harmful!" She replied with a mischievous smile while pushing the potion towards Alvine. Even if she had no bad intentions towards them, she had no guarantee that it was reciprocal between them. She may be magnanimous, but she was not a holly who will sacrifice herself stupidly either. 'They even have potions of divine grade? How mysterious are they? When he drank the potion, I would try to ask him a few questions. Maybe I would have more answers.' She says to herself as a last resort.
"Tch, Sabrina, give her another potion that we can finish. I don't intend to spend the whole afternoon with her." Without losing a second, Alvine at the dry potion, and Celestia did the same after seeing Alvine's actions.
"Well, you can explain to me what you have to tell me now." He asked impatiently.
"So listen to me carefully, it's something I learned from the goddess succubus through her familiar. It's a story between our world and the world of Alzania." She stopped for a moment to attract everyone's attention before continuing.
"Humans, Elves, hybrids, and demons are known to be the offspring of the planet of Alzania. You must surely know that fairies and other breeds do not come from Alzania. Isn't it? Well... if you know these details, my explanation will be faster. According to the information I have acquired from our beloved goddess. The succubus are different from the demons that inhabit Alzania. Even if we are all demons, our origins are categorically different. Like fairies and dwarves, succubus are also extraterrestrials from elsewhere. Our race went into exile after the incident with the previous king. At that time, he had not left a crown prince behind him; he had simply disappeared overnight. Since his disappearance, the others have waited more than five hundred years in the hope that he will return to the castle. Our ancestors had searched everywhere, in every corner of the galaxy but they did not find any trace of the king..."
"Wait, something doesn't stick. If your king had disappeared, you only had to crown another incubus if your kingdom is an empire that could only be ruled by man. Or if you wanted royal blood, the empress only had to marry another incubus who will give her an heir and "TADAM"... problem solved." Yuer could not prevent him from giving his opinion. Since she was a princess, she was more comfortable with her kind of subjects.
"No Yuer, I don't think the problem is so simple. I think that's something to have with the fact that Sabrina ordered me to hide my identity. In any case, it's too early to conclude. You can continue your story, Celestia." Alvine was eager to learn more about Celestia's story. Just with the little information that Celestia had just revealed to him, she had answered some questions he was asking himself.
"Thank you. To answer Miss Yuer's question, our race is very special. Our population is entirely composed of females... except the king who is a male. As long as the king is alive, there will be no crown prince. It is up to the king to decide whether it is time to have a crown prince or not. Otherwise, if his life comes to an end, a ritual will take place with his seed so that another incubus can see the light of day. The previous king was so carefree that the queens had not taken precautions for the preservation of the future heir! And without an heir who will possess the purest lineage, the extinction of our race was only a matter of time until the daughter of the former king found a decent solution to temporarily preserve our race." She stopped for a moment to catch her breath. And she continued...
"As the throne remained unoccupied and our extinction was only a matter of time, the princess sent her agents to every corner of the galaxy to capture a male of each race on different planets and conducted experiments with her people. Their goal was simple, to find breeds that can give us children to preserve the survival of our species. Fortunately for them, the experience was a success. Even if the number was very low, they had found species that can associate with us. Among them, the inhabitants of the planet of Alzania were of them. Even if the union of one succubus and another race gave rise to a succubus that has a more diluted lineage than previous generations, that was all they could do to help the race survive. Thus, the princess carried out her great mission. She has dispersed the succubus between continents that are compatible with us. In the hope of finding another heir." She concludes the story.
While waiting for her story alone, Alvine could make some links between her story and that of Assi. But as if Sabrina could read his thoughts, she asked exactly the question Alvine wanted to ask her. "What was the ranking of the kingdom? Given the way succubus lives in this world, I suppose that the kingdom must be at least one first-class kingdom. But after the weakening of the lineage after each generation, future generations have become weaker and weaker. Am I wrong?" Asked Sabrina.
"Indeed, you are half right. The succubus of the two after centuries are indeed only the shadows of our ancestors. But our species was one of the races that ruled the universe. When our kingdom was at its peak, the kingdom was a kingdom of... "zero class"!" She said with trembling hands.
"Celestia! Don't joke with that, the effects of the potion are really deadly you know. Stop playing with your life like that!" Yuer exclaimed and warned her urgently.
Alvine has not yet reacted, he instead looked at Sabrina's expressions to learn something through her. According to an old saying, expressions are man's greatest traitor.
But seeing Sabrina calm, Alvine could say that Celestia was not lying. But that did not mean that her story was true. Because she tells what she had heard from someone else.
"According to my knowledge, from the fourth-class kingdom to the second-class kingdom are all mortal-governed kingdoms. When the kingdom of the first class, is governed by the deities. This is my first time to hear the existence of a zero-class kingdom. Sabrina, are you sure that this kind of kingdom exists? In this case, what kind of incredible being governs such a kingdom? Is there another grade of cultivation after the divine rank that is considered the highest rank?" Asked Alvine with confusion. He was not the only one confused, even Celestia could not answer Alvine's question. So Sabrina was their only hope.
She looked at everyone one by one while being in her thoughts...
After a while, she began to explain herself. "On the divine stele of the divine tower, there are inscriptions about the foundation of our universe. According to my understanding, ten beings are above the deities. Their powers are immeasurably absurd. They can create lives and planets! Sigh, at first, I believed that this story was only an unfounded legend. But it seems that he has a part of the truth as a whole." After hearing Sabrina's words, everyone was speechless! What kind of joke was it? How can such beings exist?! These were the questions they all asked themselves.
