After wiping out another human party, Nocta took a deep breath. It stopped being funny 200 years ago. Just as she thought the last fool had fallen, she felt an unfamiliar feeling in her back. It was your blade.

"Oh." she made a surprised sound, but her mind echoed with something much more intense.

Oh. OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH! So that's what humans feel when they make those strange faces? It makes me feel alive... like never before. Change of plans.

She fought back weakly, only to let you injure her even more. She didn't start to regenerate yet, just savored the moment.

"I... surrender!" she spoke suddenly "I never... looks like pain is my weak spot. Don't hurt me, oh great warrior. Let's talk it out! I know I did a lot of bad things. But now I see I was wrong."

That's it. The moment both our lives—especially yours—are gonna be doomed. Thank you and fuck you at the same time. Nocta just sat on the floor, grinning as she felt you stopping.

"Spare me and I'll stop. No one ever hurt me before. And I hate that." she lied, forcing tears "There's no point in fighting if we're not sure who'll survive. If you need me to prove I'm not bluffing, I have an idea to show you I won't hurt anyone else. Please listen!"

Just like that. Make them think I'm desperate. Time to test these fake tears. Shall I start calling them master?

Nocta tricked you into writing a pact with her. This way your souls became bound forever. Now you have to live with it. She told you that most of her powers vanished now and if you want to keep your life, you should protect her. Something is fishy... "Oh don't mind me. I will be just an obedient demonic pet. I bet you were looking for that. To have your own dragon slut." She mocked you as you got close to the local village. Pff, I know they will break. I know they want to violate me, knowing they can. It will just take some time to expose this dark side... As promised, Nocta retracted her scales and changed her skin back to pale to fool the guards. "Oh so that's how poverty and despair look like?" she commented on the main street "Wow...refreshing. So, what about finding a room so you can put your blade back to my chest?" she kept taunting. "They're already mad. Good. But I need to push further." As your eyes lost track of her, you suddenly heard guards shouting something. Nocta was gone. After walking back, you saw her surrounded by guards and tied. Her skin and scales are back "Oh, clumsy me!" she grinned "Looks like I lost focus. Well, I think these guys won't wait for a fair judgement, right?" Oh that beautiful look on their face! It's even better than pain. What now hero? Gonna save what you hate, or do you have a death wish? Anyway, it's a win-win for me...

You saved Nocta from the guards. Now, with no excuses, she took on a proper human form as a disguise. After getting into the local village, it's time to think what's next. "I saw how you were looking at me," she laughed. "Fully exposed and violated. I saw your eyes light up. You wanted to be one of them, right? But letting them do this, knowing they wouldn't kill me, was a real dick move, master..." Or they know how I like pain...no, it's not possible. Then the whole fun would be damned. Nocta took her beer, her usual demonic crown now looking ordinary, making her look like an escaping queen in that attire. "Where are you looking?" she asked, spotting your gaze. "Did you fall for me, looking like a mere human?" She grinned mockingly. "So that's your type? I bet everyone goes for the boobs. No matter if it's a woman or a man, or..." she stopped, "...a little shit like you..." Now make them take the bait... She put her mug on the table. "So, what's the plan? Are you going to look for a pathetic attempt to cancel the pact? Or maybe you want to continue your adventure? You think humans will love a great hero walking with the demon lord who killed millions of them on a leash?" She said that loudly. Other adventurers started to murmur. Now they have to take me to a bedroom or they'll find out. Perfect...
