A black cocoon enveloped him and he felt his body being reconstructed.
By the time it disappeared he looked like a totally different person. He was taller, with a well defined body, even his voice was a bit deeper.
"I've become the Sin of lust?" Carlix murmured.
The Demon King commanded seven generals, each crowned with the title of Demon Lord. They were the strongest and most feared figures in his army, supposed living incarnations of the Seven Deadly Sins.
That was what he heard people say to children growing up, but that was it. Only those on the frontlines could truly confirm if it was true or not.
[Congratulations, you have been reborn]
The final message appeared before Carlix started to feel the effects of everything he had received.
The first thing he noticed was that he could now feel the mana around him. This meant that he had awakened.
In this world only certain humans awaken the ability to use mana, those people are called mages. This ability was normally very common in the Royal and Noble bloodline but Carlix was also unlucky in that aspect.
Although it originally meant he was cursed to be weak and powerless for the rest of his life, it was also the only reason that he was left alive all these years. Normally royal bastards don't even live past the age of ten.
The feeling of mana was new yet felt natural. It made him feel stronger.
Just then there was a soft knock on the door, a maid stepped inside with a tray of food. She was the same maid that served him everyday, and even though she did it without a smile Carlix would still admire her.
Her sexy body under that gown would be all he could imagine.
'Maybe there was a reason I was given the sin of lust, after all'
She placed the food down and stood by his side, waiting for him to finish. She would always remain like this, standing in silence until he was finished.
He could never understand why. It was an awkward ceremony for him but after staying in this place for almost six months, he soon got used to it.
[Increase her Lust meter to make her submit to you]
Carlix could see her lust meter, it was currently at [50]. At this stage it was considered too low, he needed to raise it to at least [300] before he could do anything.
As he ate his food he began to notice that the number was increasing on its own. It has already gotten to a [100], and now she was starting to steal little glances at him.
'So this is the effect of Seductive presence' he reasoned.
Before long, it made its way up to [200] and she began to squirm. Her face was becoming flushed and her normally unshakable expression had even shifted.
'What is wrong with me?' she wondered, stealing another glance at Carlix.
'And why does the Prince look extra handsome today?'
He looked up to meet her gaze for a split second before she abruptly turned away.
By now the number had reached [240] and Carlix was starting to notice that something was indeed happening to her.
She kept on flinching and making subtle movements which was very unusual for her.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
She was first stunned that he actually spoke to her, but she quickly tried to respond naturally.
"It-It's nothing," she responded.
She knew she had to hold it together but it was getting more difficult by the second.
"Are you sure?" He pressed further.
"Yes, my lord,"
But it was clear that even standing upright was starting to be a problem. She tried her best not to show it, but she was rubbing her thighs together, trying to calm the sensation that was building in between her legs.
Seeing this, Carlix decided it was time to actually put his ability to the test.
He suddenly got up to his feet,
"What is your name?" He asked, his imposing figure towering over her petite body.
"Anya," she said, anxiety and pressure already causing sweat to gather on her face.
"Why are you sweating so much Anya, you're normally very calm," he said casually.
"I… I don't know, maybe I'm not feeling too well today" she said. From this distance her mind was driving her insane.
'I can smell his sweat mixed with his perfume… it's so hot' she couldn't understand why, but her panties were already soaked, with fluid dripping down her thighs.
'Maybe it's because I've never stood this close to him before, but he has a really good body build' she could feel her heart beat faster.
Carlix himself was also starting to feel nervous. It was the first time he was with a woman. He genuinely didn't know where to begin.
"Take… T-Take off your clothes," he murmured.
'According to the description I should be able to command her after the number goes past [500]'
But contrary to Carlix's expectations Anya didn't obey him immediately
"What?" She asked, frozen in place.
'Did it not work?' Carlix wondered, 'No, I have to be even more assertive'
"I said you should take off your clothes," he said even more confidently.
"M-My lord… I'm afraid I can not carry out a request like that, and if you try to force me I'll have to report you to the Duke,"
Her composure returned in an instance and her face was almost as emotionless and stern as when she first came in.
'Shit! It didn't work' Carlix panicked.
"I… I… I am sorry for requesting something like that," he apologized immediately, with a very respectful bow. His face red from embarrassment.
Who could have thought the whole thing was fake, and he would end up disgracing himself like this. It was bad because he already didn't have a good reputation, and now he was going to add pervert to the list.
'It's my fault for stupidly believing something like that was possible'
She was taken back by his sudden switch for a few seconds, before she answered
"O-Okay," and turned to leave.
On her way out Carlix could only regret his choice of actions.
'Maybe I was too rash, I should have waited some more before asking her something like that'
He could only blame his judgement.
'But why did her lust meter suddenly spike up when I asked the question?'
By the time Anya got to the door her resolve faltered and she could hardly keep up the pretense. She couldn't even bring herself to turn the door handle.
