Succubus Lord Regalia (RJ01392120)

There was a man living as an adventurer in a remote village.
One day, after finishing a monster-slaying job and heading back to the village, something strange occurred.
Accompanied by an overwhelming surge of magical energy that made the very air tremble,
a creature of the most powerful race—a succubus—appeared before him.

Radiating immense elegance and magical power, she introduced herself as a princess and, barely able to breathe, approached the man.

“Haah… haah… hurry… your essence… I don’t want to die…!”

In this world, it’s common knowledge:
A human whose essence is drained by a succubus will die.

So, what did the man choose to do in that moment…?
