No matter how bitter enemies they used to be, once they became servants of darkness, they'd bury the hatchet and become the closest of sisters.
Because the very purpose of dark servants was to better serve their master. If those under her started fighting over trivial things, that would only harm the master.
For that reason, even though the former princess had once hated evil cults, the only thing she felt toward Selina now was fondness. After all, they were both part of the darkness now.
“Mhm, thank you, senpai~”
After accepting this piece of Selina’s awareness, countless incantations for dark magic appeared in her mind.
Because her body was now made of Dark Essence, she gained control over dark magic incredibly fast. With Selina’s guidance mixed into that awareness, the princess was already able to cast dark magic within minutes.
“I still need to carry out the task our master gave me. You should return to the master’s side as well.”
“Mhm, I can feel the master calling me.”
After the princess fell, Morningstar could naturally enter her thoughts now, so she gave the order for the princess to return.
They were about to enter the royal capital next, and Morningstar needed to taste the princess’s soul and obtain all her memories.
If those memories were sent through the hive network, the amount of information would probably be too massive to receive in a short time.
“Goodbye, senpai.”
“Make sure you serve our master well~” Selina smiled slightly. She really was like a caring older sister looking after her junior.
After saying goodbye, Selina rode her broom into the black hole she had summoned and vanished.
The princess was already familiar with this dark spell as well. She began chanting the incantation that had appeared in her mind, though her first use of it was a little clumsy.
She couldn’t summon it as casually as Selina could, but the princess’s magical talent was obvious. In less than a minute, she still managed to summon a Gate of Darkness.
She stepped inside. It was a spatial teleportation spell. Before, the princess had no direction, but now she could sense her master’s presence, so all she had to do was teleport toward her master.
Teleportation magic consumed an enormous amount of mana, but the princess’s body was no longer human now, so she could use this kind of magic without restraint.
Because of that, she arrived at her master’s side very quickly.
Morningstar leaned back in her chair with one leg crossed over the other. A black rift had opened before her.
After stepping out of it, the princess respectfully dropped to her knees and said in an extremely devout voice, “Master, please forgive my sins.”
“Forgive you? For what sin, exactly~?”
Seeing someone who had once resisted her now kneeling before her, the Dark Sorceress’s twisted heart was deeply satisfied again. Morningstar was feeling amazing right now.
“I actually resisted you, Master. I resisted darkness. Looking back now, I was truly too foolish then.”
“Good that you know.” Morningstar stood up, walked to the princess’s side, and reached out to stroke that soft, ice-blue hair.
It felt cool to the touch, and very nice.
“I turned you into part of the darkness because I want to use you against your sister in the future. What do you think about that?”
“Big Sister won’t be a match for you, Master. But please be careful. She’s very strong too.”
“Do you still have feelings for your sister now?”
“Mhm. But compared to my love for you, Master, those feelings aren’t worth mentioning. If you want to kill my sister, then I... will absolutely support you.”
The princess still had her memories of the past, so she did still feel something for her sister. But those feelings had already been completely suppressed by what she felt for her master.
“Love, huh... You really know how to pick your words.”
Morningstar rested her hand on the princess’s head and continued, “Don’t worry. I won’t do something like making you sisters kill each other. I’ll reunite you two. Your sister will become part of the darkness too.”
“Really?! Then thank you, Master.”
If her master really did kill her sister, the princess would indeed feel a trace of sadness. But now that she knew her sister would experience the same fate as she had, her heart was filled with nothing but happiness.
“Big Sister, you finally won’t have to endure that kind of pain anymore. Come serve our master with me, and experience the happiest bliss in this world.”
“I’m going to eat you now, you know. You understand what that means, right?”
“Mhm, of course. Please, Master, enjoy me as you wish.”
“Once that happens, my mark will be carved into your soul. You’ll never be able to go back again.”
The princess’s body had already been assimilated. The soul inside her body could only be considered corrupted by darkness.
If she were to encounter a powerful user of holy magic in the future, that person could purify the darkness in her soul. They wouldn’t be able to save her body, but they could restore her soul to normal.
But once she was devoured, her soul would bear the Dark Sorceress’s mark forever, one that could never be erased. The princess would become a servant of darkness, serving her master for all eternity, with no chance of turning back.
“Mhm, mmh! Please, Master, you absolutely have to do that to me. I want to serve you forever!”
Her eyes were full of anticipation. With her mind already completely corrupted, how could she possibly think of resisting? Her only thought was to have her master eat her quickly and completely cut off any chance of being saved.
That was what a dark servant should do: submit forever at her master’s feet.
“Alright then~ I won’t hold back~”
Even though she knew the princess wouldn’t refuse, Morningstar still asked in a teasing way. After getting the answer she wanted, she smiled, took the princess’s hand, and helped her up.
“Are you ready?”
“Mhm, yes! Please hurry, Master. I can’t wait anymore.” The princess’s face flushed slightly, and her breathing grew quick.
It wasn’t just her heart. The flesh and blood made from Dark Essence in her body also felt excited at the thought of returning to the body of the dark master.
So now, every single cell in the princess’s body that had been formed from Dark Essence was trembling with excitement and anticipation.
“Such a good girl~ I’ll reward you with a hug~” Morningstar wrapped her arms around the princess. As they held each other tightly, the princess’s body gradually began to change.
Where their bodies touched, the princess’s clothes and skin began to melt away little by little, like a wax figure being heated.
They turned into a slime-like substance. That melted matter clung to Morningstar’s body and was absorbed by her bit by bit.
The process was not fast, because Morningstar wanted the princess to slowly experience the feeling. It might have looked terrifying, but for a child of darkness, returning to the mother body was something filled with joy.
“Master... I-I’m going to become your shape...”
Every part of her body was trembling with excitement. They had felt the call of the mother body, and were returning to it once more.
Her flesh was devoured bit by bit, without the slightest trace of pain. Her soul, polluted by evil darkness, was dragged into absolute darkness and evil. The pleasure of the soul, the pleasure of the body—this was a sensation no human could ever imagine.
