'Eh?'
Julian blinked, staring at the ceiling with a look of fear on his face. 'Dammit, is this a trap? Does this System want to kill me?'
The Succubus still hugged him tightly, clearly emotional.
Julian didn't know how long the hug was going to last. 'I can't let her see the look of panic on my face, Zaratul doesn't panic!'
Despite his current fear and confusion at the moment, Julian was experienced. He knew that panic would only lead to death or even worse, so he forcefully calmed himself down and began thinking.
Drawing from his experience with women, though he wasn't sure if he could draw parallels between human women and Succubus, he had a hunch that women were the same no matter the race.
With this as the foundation, he instantly started dissecting this Succubus's personality with the little interaction that he already had with her.
'Even if she's not Zaratul's lover, she's clearly in love with him!'
'Maybe unreciprocated love?' His eyes gleamed. 'Also from how she reacted, has Zaratul been lying on this bed for a long time ill before dying? What really happened to him?'
Julian instinctively interpreted his circumstances with the little information that he had that Zaratul was likely injured from the fragmented memories of the final battle in his head, and when he died he transmigrated and took over his body.
Though Julian still didn't trust the System and didn't know what its intentions were, he believed his own deductions.
With the little grasp of Zaratul's personality and this Succubus's personality that he just had, he came to a conclusion. 'I have to comfort her!'
'Not comforting her will be out of character for Zaratul'.
'Afterall, if Zaratul haven't done this before, she wouldn't be so vulnerable and start crying directly in front of me'.
The moment that Julian had this thought, his fear dissipated a lot but not completely.
And finally, he moved his left hand and gently held her on the back.
That mere touch evoked a deep sense of desire in him as Julian clenched his teeth tightly just to control himself. 'F*ck! Calm down!'
His third leg didn't calm down but Julian kept his lucidity, staying in control even as Princess Pandora shivered once he touched her back.
This reaction emboldened Julian, giving him confidence.
He moved his hand across her back, gently caressing and comforting her.
He could feel the soft fabric of her gown clinging tightly to the gentle curves of her body and draping in equal measure, less a garment and more like a declaration of blood, fire, and temptation.
Inside, Julian's body was burning but he kept a stoic face and progressed, switching to her soft legs and gently caressing her, then he moved his way back up.
After a few seconds of this, bolder, Julian took the risk and raised his hand before placing it gently on her voluptuous hips, rubbing it gently, pushing to the round curves of her ass as he boldly grabbed them.
She squirmed slightly to his touch, melting completely in his gasp then she whispered in his ear. "I missed you".
In that moment, the System's HUD screen lit up again.

Julian blinked. 'I got additional rewards because I boldly touched her ass? That's a hidden mission requirement?'
His face turned weird. 'Just what kind of Mage was Zaratul exactly?'
A few seconds later, satisfied, Princess Pandora finally took her body off him as her cheeks blushed a rosy pink.
Thinking of something, she suddenly cheered in a mischievous manner. "Heh, I was the first to meet you on your awakening!"
Hearing that, Julian looked at her and asked. "How long have I been here?"
Princess Pandora's face instantly turned pained. "Lord Zaratul, you've been in a coma for 10 years".
'10 years?' Julian was taken aback. 'Just what exactly happened?'
Julian rubbed his forehead. "My memories are a bit hazy".
"It's normal," Princess Pandora nodded. "After the battle 10 years ago, you were heavily injured. I almost thought you were going to die". She said with pain in her voice.
Julian looked at her. "What of the others? Where are they?"
One of the clearest memories that he inherited was the memory of his 8 subordinates, and of course he was curious to know their current circumstances.
"I already informed them of your awakening through my dream infiltration," she looked proud as she said this. "Apart from Lilith, the rest should already be waiting for you in the grand hall".
'Is that one of her skills?' Julian thought. 'Like that skill that enabled her to reach my side instantaneously?'
Julian looked at her. "What happened to Lilith?"
That name clearly didn't evoke good memories for Princess Pandora as she didn't look too enthused to talk about this so-called Lilith, but because Lord Zaratul asked, she answered nonetheless.
"During the Great Battle 10 years ago, after you suffered the sneak attack and became injured, she and Sir Alfred ensured our survival and escape".
"But during our escape, she suffered an attack while protecting the castle".
"After that, alongside Sir Alfred, they both made the decision to hide the castle till you recover and due to her heavy injuries, Lilith was forced to go into hibernation to recover".
Julian nodded calmly, then he tried to stand up.
Seeing his struggles, Princess Pandora quickly understood that he was still weak from his injuries and helped him stand up.
Julian was still reeling from all the changes, he was still struggling to believe and appreciate the reality that he was being assisted by such an otherworldly beautiful lady, a true Succubus.
'Is this what dreams come true feels like?' He thought.
With her help, the first thing he did was go in front of the mirror and finally, Julian saw his new body- Zaratul's body.
He looked humanoid, but he was far taller than any human that Julian had ever seen.
He was over 10 feet tall.
At the moment, he was shirtless, only wearing a pair of black pants, leaving his pale white skin and his well sculpted abs exposed.
He had sensual red eyes, a well-sculpted face and a sharp jawline with long silvery hair that flowed down his shoulders like a waterfall.
There were no horns currently in his head but Julian felt that if he wanted, horns could grow out of his temple at any time.
Staring at himself in the mirror, he thought. 'So handsome'.
When he saw Demon in his System Status, he expected a grotesque, red-skinned and ugly humanoid monster with horns, not this.
He finally understood why a Succubus as stunning and beautiful as this princess would fall in love with him.
Without looking back, he asked. "You said the others are waiting for me in the grand hall?"
"Yes". Princess Pandora answered.
"Then let's go there".
"Ok, let me help you get dressed". Princess Pandora quickly volunteered.
