Exiled Incubus

In the dimly lit room, lascivious splashes echoed.

The room was filled with the intoxicating scent of a girl in heat, making my head spin.

Amidst all this, the girls leaning on me wore melty expressions, each uniquely enchanting.

Elio . . .

Mr. Elio . . .

Lord Elio . . .

My beloved childhood friend, a beastwoman, a half-elf, a former criminal, and even non-human girls, all intensely desired me. The scene was overwhelmingly stimulating, lewd, and taboo.

I was supposed to become a proud holy knight protecting the country. How did it come to this . . .

I wanted to hold my head in despair, but there was no room for such gestures in front of these fully aroused girls.

Using the perverted skills that manifested in me, I responded to their feelings while reminiscing about the distant past when my fate was sealed.

▼Episode 1: The Granting Ceremony

That night, the royal capital was bustling with glamour.

Today was the annual Holy Birth Festival.

A significant holiday where boys and girls of a certain age received their Gift from the heavens.

A Gift was a talent bestowed directly from the heavens.

There were various types, such as 'Swordsman' or 'Blacksmith', and the type of Gift one received dictates their life.

In the central square in front of the cathedral in the royal capital, people of the appropriate age lined up, receiving their Gifts one after another.

Oh, I'm so nervous.

I, Elio Scarlet, was also in line, my heart pounding with excitement.

Everyone must've been nervous, but I think my anxiety was particularly intense.

After all, my family was one of the most distinguished in the royal capital—the Scarlet noble house.

The Scarlet family was known for receiving the Gift of the 'Holy Knight', and with their power, they protected the royal capital as a sacred noble lineage.

Naturally, as a member of this family, there were great expectations for me to become a Holy Knight. From a young age, I'd been given various educations by top-notch teachers. The thought of receiving a strange Gift made me anxious.

There's no need to be so nervous, Elio.

The one who gently placed a hand on my shoulder was my father.

The current head of the Scarlet noble house—my father, continued with a friendly smile.

It may sound odd, but the Scarlet family already has your two brothers who have received the Gift of the 'Holy Sword Knight'. There's no issue with the succession. I hear tales of nobles who easily disown their children for receiving odd Gifts, but I am not so heartless. No matter what Gift you receive, you are still my beloved child, so go and receive your Gift with pride.

Yes, Father!

The words of my father, who was both dignified and kind, lightened my shoulders.

Just then . . .

Ooooooooh!

A cheer rose from the front.

I wondered what was happening.

Amazing! It's a Holy Knight!

The commotion among the townspeople made me widen my eyes in surprise.

A Holy Knight?!

This was a Gift that surpassed even my brothers' Holy Sword Knight status.

No, not just surpassing.

It was the legendary Gift, said to have played a major role when the demon race once conspired to annihilate the human race.

Whoever received it was hailed as one of the strongest warriors of their generation, without exception . . .

I craned my neck to see who had received such an incredible Gift.

Hmm . . . the youngest daughter of the Blueeyes family. She's always been exceptional, but to receive such a powerful Gift . . .

Eh . . . the daughter of the Blueeyes family. Could it be Alicia?!

At my father's words, I jumped to see, and there in the center of the commotion was indeed Alicia.

A girl of breathtaking beauty with distinctive silvery hair and ethereal blue eyes.

She was the youngest of the Blueeyes noble family and had been my playmate since we were children.

Alicia, as usual, received the admiration of those around her with an inscrutable expression, making it hard to guess what she was thinking.

Indeed, Alicia had always excelled in both swordsmanship and her studies, and I had always felt a bit envious . . .

Seeing Alicia, I felt a competitive spirit flare up within me.

I won't lose either . . . !

My father looked down at me with a mischievous grin.

Gifts often run in the family. As the Scarlet Family, tasked with protecting the royal capital, we would very much like to welcome that child. I have high hopes for you, Elio.

What are you talking about, Dad . . . ?

I felt my face turn red as I retorted.

For some reason, Alicia always clung to me, making it easy for others to get the wrong idea.
