-Narrator’s P.O.V-
‘Why did you kill him?’ Rin wrote to her in the air using letters made of darkness.
“He’s irrelevant.” Iris smiled sweetly, her white dress stained with the old man’s blood.
‘To what?’ Rin wrote raising an eyebrow.
“To the story of course~” Iris replied hiding her hands behind her back.
‘Story?’ Rin wrote confused by the answer.
“Ah, it’s nothing~, Oh! I know, can I be with you!?” She asked while excluding a ‘if you decline I’ll murder you’ aura.
‘What do you think Zilla?’ Rin asked her through telepathy.
‘She’s a keeper. She’s completely entranced by you, and will obediently follow you at your will. I’m even sure that she’ll find pleasure in you killing her. Not only that she’s experienced the worst of mankind personally unlike you who has only seen in it images and memories of others. So she’ll be perfect for the job you have. Not to mention she’s at your level of swordsmanship.’ Zilla replied evaluating the little girl ‘O but make a blood binding contract with her, so she doesn’t end up murdering the rest of your companions…’
‘Murdering the rest of my companions?’ Rin asked raising another eyebrow.
‘She’s a bit...crazy for you in a whole other level.’ Zilla said, wryly looking at the little girl through Rin’s eyes.
‘But the contract prevents this right?’ Rin asked a bit worried for the future if the little girl happens to join along.
‘Yes, once she makes the blood binding contract, with you being the master and her being the slave/servant she is obligated to perform your orders and put your life before her own.’ Zilla replied.
‘By obligated you mean?’ Rin asked for further info.
‘Well. Let’s say if they don’t, they’ll experience something far worse than being physically tortured for an eternity.’ Zilla wryly said ‘O but don’t worry! She’ll get a warning saying what’ll happen if she disobeys your orders.’ Zilla assured Rin.
‘If you say so…’ Rin replied before returning his attention back to Iris.
‘You may.’ Rin wrote,immediately making the little girl jump in joy. ‘But.’ which halted Iris's jumps of joy.
“But what?” Iris tilted her head with a smile, her ‘I will kill you’ aura increasing ten fold.
‘You’ll have to make a contract with me through the blood binding contract.’ Rin wrote creating a small sewing needle from darkness.
“If I get to be with you then I’ll do anything!” Iris declared,her eyes filled with endless worship and blind love.
‘Give me the palm of your hand.’ Rin wrote to her, to which she happily and readily complied.
Following Zilla’s instructions, Rin pricked the middle of Zilla’s palm where blood mixed with something black started to ooze out.
‘What’s this?’ Zilla widened her eyes while she scrutinized her blood.
‘What is it?’ Rin asked wondering what had surprised the calm and not so easily surprised Zilla.
‘She actually has demon blood in her.’ Zilla said confirming the origin of the black substance mixed with the red blood.
‘What kind?’ Rin asked interested.
‘I don’t know if you’re going to like it though…’ Zilla replied, her eyebrows twitching as she looked at the smiling girl in front of Rin.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
‘Tell me.’ Rin demanded not wanting any secrets kept from him.
‘Well...She’s a succubus.’ Zilla said averting her gaze to the side.
Upon hearing the word succubus, Rin almost coughed up blood, his face showing his shock.
“What’s wrong?” Iris asked frowning at Rin.
‘Nothing.’ Rin quickly wrote, letting out a few dry coughs. It’s for the plan, the plan, she’ll be useful in the future, Rin hopefully thought.
Pricking at the center of his own hand with only black colored blood oozed out he held Iris’s pricked hand with his own pricked hand, allowing their blood to mix. He brought their bodies closer with their held hands closer to each others heart. As Rin was about to continue with the contract he could hear Iris rough and ecstatic breathing on him her golden eyes slightly teary.
“Be gentle…” Iris meekly said.
Puzzled Rin wrote ‘With what?’
“My first…” Iris shyly said covering her mouth with her other hand her whole face beet red.
‘This girl…’ Zilla said shaking her head with her hand covering her face.
Not knowing what to make of the situation he could only reply
“O-okay” his hands slightly shaky.
Continuing with the contract he asked ‘Your name?’
“O ya, so that’s what I was forgetting!” Iris said making a silly expression while lightly knocking her head with her free hand. “It’s Iris Rose, but my family name has no meaning to me anymore.” Iris answered.
‘You’re a princess?’ Rin asked slightly surprised.
“Yep the fifth princess! But not anymore. Bastards wanted to sell me off to a perverted monster!” Iris said while frowning.
‘Anyhow…’ Rin wrote getting back on track ‘I Rinea offer my blood to the blood goddess, to contract with Iris Rose as her one and only master.’
“And I Iris Rose offer my blood to the blood goddess, to contract with Rinea as his one and only slave and wife.” Iris wholeheartedly followed saying what Rin wrote her when it was her turn, minus the wife part.
Before Rin could rebuke the wife part, their blood rose into the air in a straight line straight into the heavens where the it disappeared turning into blinding red light that showered upon only Rin and Iris.
‘With that the contract is sealed...As well as your future love life…’ Zilla satirically said pitying Rin.
“Hehe, Now we’re binded in heart and soul” Iris sweetly smiled with a visible crazy look to it, while she held Rin’s hand tighter. As for Rin… He could feel cold sweat running down the side of his head while he looked into Rin’s devoted golden eyes.
Wryly smiling a little, he couldn’t wait for what awaited him and whoever gets in the way of Iris’s love life in the distant future.

Hope you enjoyed it! Next chapter is going to be a little short since it's the p.o.v of a knight that guarded the carriage, but the chapter after the next one is going to be decently long. -Authors note- Whenever Rin is talking he's writing in the air...
