Lorient was hurt.
Every part of her body screamed. Her muscles, bones, organs, and even her teeth. All of it felt like it was scorched. But especially her female parts felt like they were permanently burning.
She cursed herself for going through this for a skill, knowing she could have multiple men at her feet, doing what she wanted.
It was already a couple of days since it started, and slowly worsened. Yet, today, after she attacked multiple servants, her mother imprisoned her inside a room. Lorient was, at best, only at the starting line of her first mating season. There was a whole month in front of her, making her desperate.
"DAMN IT!"
She paired her shout with an explosion. Her demonic energy ripped through the already destroyed room she was staying in. Scraps of wallpaper, or what was left of it, swirled through the empty room and landed on wasted furniture. Only the walls and some old monster hides she had used as her bed were intact. She didn't go fully ballistic because she knew what would happen if she cracked the fundamental structure. She would get a severe beat down.
Why did she do this? She needed to let all her frustration out somehow since masturbation didn't work. According to her mother, it had something to do with having a partner that would calm the body down with pheromones. Lorient wasn't sure and didn't care.
The next problem was that it came so abruptly. One day, in the morning, she was fine till it worsened over the following hours. In the evening, she had her first victim: Her old room, which had multiple holes now in the walls and ceiling. It looked like someone had tried to have a fight with her.
She changed rooms twice till she was in some abandoned office, which was barely cared for, which also made sense since she destroyed it, this time only superficially, in the first 24 hours.
However, the only lucky star she had, was that her demonic energy was much more explosive and destructive, akin to the traditional Leonandra one, unlike her mother, who had the one from the fox-kin household from the north. Otherwise, she would be now in some hole in the garden.
Her mother's energy was much more destructive since it would seep into the fundamental structure, as seen when she did the demonic baptism with Alexander. On the other hand, hers would destroy the surface of whatever it touched much faster but would barely seep into the material or body.
She mumbled, "Damn it, even the smells make me crazy..." She could smell her brother from far away, who at this point would be fair game, even though she disliked cute boys and was more into rough men, "...Narsiz, get the fuck out of my range!"
...
Somewhere else
"...Narsiz, get the fuck out of my range!"
"By the circle..."
Narsiz was more than a hundred meters (~110 yd.) away and spooked by the incorrigible scream, "I should probably go away... I don't like the smell..."
It smelled similar to the younger maids when they looked at him. It gave him the shivers, and he disliked it. He already produced little pheromones, meaning his first mating season would be in a year or two.
While he was interested in romance and having a partner, he strongly detested the animalistic nature they went through while going through the mating season.
He quickly turned around and went away, "...damn it, Lorient, I hope this is not revenge for the time I was an asshole to you."
After another explosion, he quickened his pace.
...
Lorient's temporary room
It was evening, and Lorient was lying on the ground. She was doing some weird exercises, which Alexander sent to her so she could power herself out.
It didn't work, though, "Enough!"
All she could think about was sleeping with someone. It was night and the worst time for her. Her senses were excellent, so she could smell and sometimes listen to servants romancing around, 'I can't anymore...'
Everyone was with someone, enjoying their time while she lived in a destroyed room, slept on hides, and ate gruel. Besides the beatings, the gruel was her punishment for destroying the previous rooms.
Lorient's frustration reached the boiling point where she couldn't do this anymore. She stood up and walked out of the door, but to her surprise, her mother was there, sitting on a chair and reading a book about some dryad and a centaur, "Well, I kind of knew it."
Lorient took a step back, "Mom?! What are you doing here?"
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
She closed the book and looked at her, "Only making sure you don't rape some of the servants. What else?"
Lorient's energy only slightly flared up but became more normal momentarily, "I am fine, Mom. Now I need to go to the toilet!"
She stormed to the toilet, and her mother started walking behind her.
She suddenly turned around, face fully flushed, "Don't you trust me!"
Marisia shook her head, "No."
"Argh!" she turned back and entered the bathroom. She slammed the door with full force.
Marisia waited and sighed. She promised her daughter to help her get through and get the desired skill, 'At least she isn't as bad as me.'
She remembered her first time when she was much younger. She was thrown into a cell, from which she broke out multiple times, only to get beaten up by her mother or father.
'I kind of deserved it.'
It wasn't that she only broke out, no. She remembered how she destroyed the whole prison out of spite. The whole cell and part of the prison were corrupted by her energy, and she also almost killed every other prisoner and guard as the building started to collapse.
It was normal to be this extreme in this region at this point in time. All beast-kin living in this area were much more emotional. The wild demonic energy which invaded their territory didn't only affect the Leonandra household but everyone.
When the mating season started, every city around or close to the border became insane. This was also one of the reasons why their population was this large and grew much faster than others in Mal-Gil.
Many thought the high migration rate was the main reason for their high numbers, but it was nothing more than the catalyst. After living here for at least a decade, they would be shaped by the residual demonic energy and act much more emotionally.
Angry? Loving? Sensitive? Horny? Whatever emotion there was, it would amplify, and while the murder rate was also much higher, the demonic energy had its previously mentioned good sides.
The environment shaped them, and they shaped the environment. It was always an exciting concept, which, for some reason, her most curious child found rather dull.
Alexander would start to talk about genes and evolution when she brought this topic up. Nothing she had ever heard about. However, he was much more interested in too-radical ideas and tried to talk with her all the time about them.
At first, she thought that they were only some idealized and rough thought-out structures. No, her son almost gave her a heart attack today when she found out how well thought out they were. She hoped that he would mellow out when he got older.
Marisia and her siblings were also more radical in their ideas and idealism than the previous generation, but never to the same degree.
She was thankful that Narsiz, with his unfathomable beauty and, not detected, social skills, which she could feel clearly, was more like she was. Marisia was even more thankful that Lorient and Sarah had no interest in politics whatsoever and that left, besides Janina, her two boys. One of which needed to be educated much more thoroughly. This meant there would be no fights for succession, but she didn't know how many puppies she would have in the future and how many would become interested in ruling the territory.
Her thoughts drifted toward her siblings. Except for her brother, they did much better in their first mating season. She shook her head as this memory wasn't pleasant and returned to the situation, 'Does she think I can't wait? My [Sleep Resistance] skill is already at the second tier.'
After some more minutes, the door flew open in an arc and crashed against the wall. Out came a fully flushed Lorient, "Why?! Why are you waiting here!"
Her mother tilted her head, "Do you think I would let you alone in your hardest time? I was young too, you know."
For some reason, all that Lorient could hear was mockery. The next moment, her energy surrounded her, forming what looked like a naked woman.
Marisia frowned and laid down her novel, "That is what I thought would happen."
...
Somewhere in the garden, outside the main mansion
"Your eyes are like the brightest and most beautiful moons that ever existed."
"Oh, Ramone, you are so cute! I love you!"
"Lucifia, I love you too!"
A swan-kin maid and a butterfly-kin butler sat on a bench in the garden, holding hands while looking each other into their eyes.
"Oh, Ramone, do you think our parents will accept us?"
Ramone slightly caressed her hands, "Oh Lucifia, you read the novel, right? Don't worry. Our life will be wonderful."
Lucifia came a little closer to her lover, "Oh Ramone, you really know me..." she giggled slightly and turned her head a little away to show him her cutest side, "...but will you love me after the mating season."
Ramone came closer and took her into his arms, softly touching her chin and turning her head toward him, "Oh Lucifia, I always wanted you to be mine and only mine. This season just gave me the encouragement to ask you out."
Lucifia turned toward him and was close to kissing him, "Oh Ramone, I love you so much and always wanted you to talk to me!"
Ramone came closer, "Oh Lucifia, I love you forev..."
BOOM!
Before he could end his sentence, an explosion came from the mansion, which was close to them. It was the one where Lorient resided. They were usually forbidden to be this close to the mansion since the oldest child had her problems during the mating season. Nonetheless, most ignored this rule at night and tried to sneak to the outer premises of the central garden to have a date.
What they saw shocked them. A girl clouded in a red aura, flew through the window. Behind her, they could see the lady following her while jumping, using some weird movement skill where she could jump in the air.
Marisia grabbed Lorient mid-air, ignoring all the demonic energy, and threw her toward the ground with an elegant swirl. Her daughter crashed toward the ground and produced a crater.
BOOM!
The ground beneath the servants started to shake. They started running away without much but a slightly shocked expression. They were already forwarned that it could get crazy.
Lorient stood slowly up and wobbled a little, holding her head and growling, "Grrrr, Fuck!"
Marisia silently landed beside her, "Lori, I am sorry, but I can't let you go insane."
Lorient looked up and saw her. An insane and furious laugh escaped her, "Hahaha! Ok, Mom! Let's get it on!"
She rushed toward her mother, but a moment later, she felt pressure in her stomach and pain slowly after.
Looking down, she saw the knee of her mother. Lorient thought of counterattacking, thus using a massive amount of energy to attack her. It didn't work.
The energy bashed against Marisia's face, but she didn't even flinch, "Not bad."
Next came an elbow toward her back. Lorient tried to turn around and avoid it, but the elbow hit her upper side, "Keugh!"
Lorient fell down and rolled to the side, puking her insides out, "Attack me, Lorient, you need to calm do..."
Marisia was interrupted by Lorient's scream, "Shut up! Argh!"
Lorient stood quickly up, barely holding herself up. She attacked again, this time using all of her energy. While dashing like a madman at her mother, the energy rushed erratically to the sides, destroying everything in its wake: Ground, trees, and plants.
None of her usual elegance and dynamic was seen but just barbaric movements. Her mind was mumbled while her body started to burn.
Her mother's strategy worked. She wanted that her daughter would power herself out and go to sleep. The problem Marisia had was that the demonic energy would push her body till it broke, so she would need to act as a wedge to stop it.
She used a little energy, flashed toward her, and clapped her hands over her head. Using energy as a momentous, deafening, and local sound was a nice trick she learned from her husband.
Lorient stopped suddenly and didn't know anymore what was top or bottom. Her energy went chaotic and even more uncontrollable. But it stopped the next moment as she felt something hitting the back of her head. All went black.
Before Lorient could fall to the ground, Marisia caught her and threw her over her shoulder like a potato sack, "Hm... at least she is not as spite-driven as I was."
As she returned to her mansion, she noticed some servants and told them to get someone to mend the destruction in the garden.
She sighed, "Ah, children are really a hassle..."
While she walked back, she did everything to not try to chew on her bottom lip. The mating season also made her more sensitive, which she could control, but it wasn't pleasant, "Damn demons... I really need my husband, tsk."
