Chapter 5

“Thank you for your participation. Next.”
Joshua lost count of how many times he had repeated that phrase.
Every succubus whom Zenarth had summoned was much prettier than the last one, so pretty, in fact, that Joshua actually considered switching the filming location to the sea. He was sure that within a few years’ time, he would be able to drag the human race into the depths of depravity.

Yet, such low-quality gimmicks could not compete with a proper movie. A movie was a piece of art, and many movies like “The Legend of 1900”, “The Shawshank Redemption”, and the like had influenced Joshua’s life and given him strength.
1
So, Joshua did not want to see the art of his superiors on Earth stained by his hand.

“Your Highness, that was the last one.”
Zenarth whispered into Joshua’s ears, but with his frame, even if he whispered, his voice would echo across the hall.
1
She gently bit her lip before she closed her eyes, seemingly in resignation, as she revealed the cause of her shame.
“I’m a male.”
27
A boy? So “she” had been the wrong pronoun all along. It was a “he”?
Joshua scanned the person before him once again. No matter how he looked at him, he was a very adorable girl, so Joshua used his authority and still referred to him as “her”.
“A boy? Not a problem.”
13
The moment Joshua said that, Ynor opened his eyes and looked at Joshua in an odd manner.
“Your… Highness, are you not angry?”
The Succubi was a race that mostly consisted of females, and very rarely would a male be born. A male succubus’ place in their society was at the bottom because they did not inherit any succubi abilities. They were destined to never be able to absorb the “vital essence” of other beings to strengthen themselves.
7
So, Ynor had been living in the gutters of the succubi society, and his position was no different than the imps. A few customers who had taken a liking to Ynor in the past were enraged when they found out his gender.
3
As such, the moment Ynor found himself before the prince, he thought that the prince would fly into a rage upon finding out his gender.
“Not bad. You fit the bill.”
7
Once he said that, Joshua noticed that the demonic servants in the hall looked at him a little differently. Even Ynor gasped in shock.
3
He, of course, knew the kind of wrong idea the group had. Even among the demons, homosexuality was not accepted.
4
However, Joshua was straight.
“Your Highness, if you deem it fit, I will give you my body. Please do not let me go back there…”
3
Ynor still had the cunning of a succubus, and he remembered the gazes those other succubi had before they left. If the prince did not accept him and sent him back… he could not even begin to imagine what sort of torment he would be subjected to.
“Your body? No… What I want is not your body.”
Joshua was not interested in boys.
“You don’t have to worry, Your Highness… It will be… my first time.”
2
He thought that the prince had chosen him because of he had that type of kink, but aside from his body, he had nothing else to give.
“It’s not a question of how many times.”
Joshua pondered a little as he came up with a better explanation.
“I have a job for you. Perhaps you, a succubus can easily conquer the hearts of men with your body, but with the job I am giving you, you will be able to capture the hearts of men, and even women if you do it well! They will love you regardless of who they are, and you will gain respect, more so than now.”

Acting was indeed a respectable field, and many actors used their acting skills to leave behind countless classics. That was something much more valuable than mere carnal pleasures.
“Can I really do it?”
While Ynor did not know what the job that Joshua mentioned entailed, but the love and respect he described were never in his wildest dreams. The best-case scenario he could think of was to live on as the prince’s plaything.
“If you never try, how will you know? First things first, we need to get you a pair of new clothes.”
Joshua then wrote Ynor’s name on a piece of white paper and placed his seal on it, giving Ynor the right to enter and leave the Royal Castle with his authority.
“Zenarth, get him a new dress—a male one.”
“As you command.”
Zenarth walked to the front and motioned for Ynor to follow him as the latter fearfully obeyed.
“Raise your chin, push your chest out. Have some confidence. Do not forget that you are a boy, do not lose to the girls,” Joshua said.
Joshua had no idea if this world knew the concept of “being a man”, but it was something Joshua had always heard his father say back on Earth.
