Digital Lust
Chapter 8: Celestia Makes her Stand
Previous ChapterRoughly two hours ticked by for Celestia and Lilithmon. The former Sun Princess and the Lord of Lust having too much fun with all the clothes swapping in the costume room. But enjoying enough of the novelty, the two left the room and continued the tour of the nightclub. The white Alicorn taking in all the sights around her as the demoness explained them. Every now and then glancing down at her guest. Always glad to see the smile on the anthro mare’s face.
As the pair ventured back towards the backstage, Lilithmon revealed that the tour was nearing its end.
“Not long now. Just a little further and we’d be back backstage,” Lilithmon said to the Alicorn beside her.
Glancing down, she could see that Celestia looked a little out of breath. To which she explained her reasoning.
“This place… is bigger than I imagined,” She said. Getting her breath back.
As she fell silent, Celestia reminisced on the recent events involving her gracious host. For starters, the home of the Demon Lord was nothing like what she first envisioned. Thanks to Lilithmon’s guidance, the Layla Nightclub turned out to be a very fun place. Not once did she felt intimidated by all around her. What’s more, with all the effort that the staff members put in on the entertainment side, it was something that Celestia admired. All their hard work paid off with cheers and laughter. It was little wonder why the club was the most popular in the Digital Underworld. She herself couldn’t remember the last time she had such fun in any kind of establishment.
But the club and the other Digimon were only half of it. As Celestia continued to think, she glanced over to Lilithmon herself. Despite her role as one of the Seven Great Demon Lords of the Digital World, she had left a positive impact on Celestia. The Succubus Digimon being so much more than what the other Digimon let on. In fact, with her surprisingly caring demeanour and wisdom spanning countless centuries, the two were more alike than the princess realised. But the one thing Celestia never expected to happen was sharing her innermost secret with her. But the most surprising part about it was how Lilithmon reacted. And in response to seeing the Alicorn hurt emotionally, performed actions that completely turned her previous doubts up on its head. Giving her hope for her future. Even going so far as to spend time with her and enjoying the tour with her.
Within the span of a single evening, so much of the Alicorn’s metal state had been lifted. And it was all because of Lilithmon. Celestia failed to realise it. But her sight never broke away from the tall demoness.
Lilithmon paused as she looked out of the window. Eyeing the darkening landscape.
“Looks like night is fast approaching,” She said with a smile. The colours from the artificial light turning a shade of dark orange.
As Lilithmon admired the sight outside, Celestia stood still just beside her. Her sight remained fixated on the Digimon. She couldn’t mentally understand why, but she just couldn’t look away. There was…something about her. Something that she was starting to notice. But was unable to understand what it was. Averting her gaze downwards, the Alicorn saw Lilithmon’s right golden clad hand. Looking at it, she remembered how dangerous the Zazar Nail ability was. But remembering what Lilithmon said, she had complete mastery of her power. It was very unlikely for her to leave her right hand fully exposed if not otherwise. Therefore, the demoness could use her ability at will.
Bearing the fact in mind, Celestia felt a new urge within her. She didn’t know why, but she felt like she should do it. Such an idea caused her nerves to surge as a small blush formed in her cheeks. Both her breathing and her heartbeat began to speed up from the nerves she was feeling. Almost intimidated from what might happen. But after a bit of hesitation, and a little flex of her fingers, Celestia slowly raised her left arm. Opening her hand and began to reach out. Ever slightly towards Lilithmon’s right hand.
But with the nerves and mental confusion getting the better of her, Celestia quickly retracted her hand. Holding it close to her as she glanced away. Completely puzzled by her own actions.
‘Wha…what am I doing!? What has gotten into me all of a sudden!?’
Glancing over her shoulder, Lilithmon noticed the look of uncertainty on Celestia’s face. Puzzling her on what was going through the Alicorn’s mind.
“Hmm? Is something wrong?” She asked.
Snapping back to reality, Celestia flinched as she was quick to dismiss her actions.
“Oh! I-It’s nothing. It’s just…so much has happened tonight. I’m just…thinking…”
The white Alicorn couldn’t look at the demoness in the eyes. Feeling embarrassed after what she just tried to do. Lilithmon however remained perplexed by Celestia’s behaviour. Nothing seemed to have gone wrong during the tour. So, the likely cause was what’s going on in the Alicorn’s head. By watching Celestia’s actions and noting her words, it was possible that the anthro mare was still reflecting on her past. About what the harm had done to her. And how that in just a single evening, she was trying to mentally comprehend the likelihood of change. All of which had left the former princess deeply confused.
Wanting to reassure her, and to let her know that she was not alone, Lilithmon knew how to comfort her.
Locked in her mental struggles, Celestia failed to notice that Lilithmon walked up to her. The white Alicorn yelped in surprise from feeling a pair of hands pressed on her shoulders. Looking ahead of her, Celestia froze in surprise. Knelling down to her level, Lilithmon’s face was only a single foot away from her own. Making sure that the mare was looking at her in the face. Staring at her with her piercing, yet caring blue eyes.
“I can tell that you’re trying to process so much. But don’t get too overwhelmed. If there is something troubling you, you’re free to tell me. Ok?”
Celestia’s eyes widened slightly in response to Lilithmon’s words. Staring back at the alluring demoness. For her to say such things, it showed that the Mega truly was concerned for her wellbeing. It was just one of many examples of the kind of character she was. Despite her title as a Demon Lord Digimon.
“Lilithmon,” Celestia quietly uttered in reply. Her cheeks slowly glowing in colour. Both from the Digimon’s unyielding resolve to help her, and from how close she was to her.
Then to her surprise, Lilithmon quickly glanced to her left.
“Hay. What’s that?” She said in a somewhat ‘startled’ tone.
Believing that something had become amiss, Celestia turned her head to look in the same direction. Expecting something bad. Only to see that she was just looking at a blank wall.
“Huh? What wa…!”
The Alicorn completely froze when she felt it. Her eyes went as wide as possible as her mouth hung agape. Giving a look of complete and utter surprise. And the cause of said surprise…
…was from a simple kiss on her cheek.
Stuttering uncontrollably in response, Celestia recoiled back with her left hand pressed against her cheek. Her white feathered wings fully flared out like a springboard. Her face completely burning red in total surprise as she looked at Lilithmon. Who was standing back to her full height with closed eyes and an amused smile on her face. Being the only two present in the corridor, there was only one possible explanation of what just happened.
“Did…did you just…!?” Celestia stuttered. Unable to complete her sentence due to the shock.
Lilithmon struggled to contain her amusement from watching the flabbergasted mare. Finding Celestia’s reactions adorable.
“Hehehe! Sorry! You just make it so easy! I couldn’t resist!”
As Lilithmon continued to chuckle in delight, Celestia looked at her in stunned surprise. If such a thing had been attempted back in Equestria, than there would’ve been serious consequences. And yet, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything to her. One would think that the demoness was being too carefree. But to the former princess, she felt that there was more to it. That there was a meaning behind Lilithmon’s bold actions. And through some thinking, she felt that it revolved around her internal struggles earlier. Plus, the expressions on the Digimon’s face showed that she didn’t do it to make fun of her.
Realising the notion, Celestia’s mental state began to change. The blush on her face caused not from shock. But from embarrassment with a hint of…flattery? Her mind was brimming with questions. But not about what her past could’ve been, it was about what she was feeling right there and now. The bewildered princess continued to gaze at the amused Demon Lord.
‘Is she… just trying to get my mind off the past? To make me…feel better?’
As her laughter settled down, Lilithmon glanced over to the bemused Alicorn. Her smiling face carried a level of curiosity.
“For you to act up from what was just a simple peck on the cheek…”
She continued as her gaze narrowed into a flirtatious glare. A seductive grin formed along with it.
“…just how would you react if I went a little further?”
Celestia was taken back by the look in Lilithmon’s eyes. As well as the alluring tone in her voice. But it was what she said that caused the former princess to pause. Making her think back to what happened back in Lilithmon’s room. It was when the demoness kept complementing her through her flirting. When she sprawled herself on top of her on the sofa. As she was gazing up at her. There was a moment where Lilithmon almost went ‘a little further’. The Alicorn could remember how close she was to her. Practically smelling the scent from her hair. Seeing the passionate fire within her icy blue eyes. Such a memory caused another blush to form in the white cheeks.
‘That’s right. If my wrist hadn’t been in pain at the time, then… she would’ve…’
Celestia’s blush grew redder from such a thought. Her hands clutched close to her chest. But then Lilithmon’s movements caught her attention. The demoness slowly walking towards her with the same loving, yet seductive look on her face. Surprised by Lilithmon’s sudden advance, Celestia took a step back, pressing her back against the wall. But her retreat was not of intimidation. She wasn’t afraid in the slightest. Something which the advancing Lilithmon noticed. Her expression grew inquisitive with a playful smirk.
“Haven’t you noticed, Sun Muffin? You can use your magic. Your wings are unbound. You’re more than free to escape from this. And yet… you’re still here. As if you’re waiting for me.”
Celestia mentally froze from what Lilithmon pointed out. She remembered how scared she was when those LadyDevimons advanced on her. She wanted nothing more than to escape their grasp. Yet Lilithmon was performing similar actions, and she was not feeling the same way as before. Not an ounce of fear. Instead, her mind was experiencing…something else. Celestia was unsure of what the feeling was. But it was making her stay. Again, something that Lilithmon pointed out.
“It’s almost as if…”
The demoness surprised the anthro mare by resting her right arm against the same wall her back was against. Leaning down towards the startled Celestia before finishing her sentence.
“…you WANT to know where this is going.”
The stunned Celestia could do nothing but look up at Lilithmon as she gazed down at her. The white Alicorn was feeling it again. Being so close to her. Staring into her blue eyes. Smelling her fragrance. It was all causing her body to act strange again. Just like back in Lilithmon’s room and in the costume room. Her face began to heat up as her heart raced faster and faster. However, the third moment might be the strongest yet. Possibly caused by the power move Lilithmon used. Leaning against the wall which she was backed against to. Seemingly unable to find an escape route.
As Celestia stared up at Lilithmon’s seductive smile, as well as remembering what she had said, it caused the former princess to think.
‘Wait! Could she be…trying that again!? W-With…me!?’
Her suspicions were confirmed when it looked like Lilithmon was leaning her head lower towards her. Just like back in her room. And almost like what happened back in the costume room. To which all began with the strange…yet wonderful feeling. Her breathing grew rapidly as the Mega drew closer to her face.
“Lilithmon,” Celestia uttered. Once more waiting to see what the Digimon was about to do.
“LADY LILITHMON!!!”
Taken by surprise by the sudden outburst, both Lilithmon and Celestia turned towards the source of the voice. Rushing up towards the pair was RedLadyDevimon. Whom which had the look of concern on her face.
“WE HAVE A SITUATION!!!” She added. Reinforcing the notion that something was wrong.
Standing back up straight, Lilithmon turned to face her subordinate. With Celestia left surprised with the subtle hint of annoyance for the interruption.
“What is it, Red?” Lilithmon asked. Her tone showed that she too had a hint of annoyance. Allowing the Ultimate Digimon to reach up to her.
“We have a problem! Etemon isn’t here for the closing act!”
Both Celestia and Lilithmon blinked with mild surprise. But for different reasons. For the Alicorn, it was because of the events that happened earlier in the day.
‘Wait. Could she be talking about the same Etemon from before?’ She thought. Remembering about how close the orange monkey Digimon came to having a rap battle with Shoutmon.
But Lilithmon displayed disinterest from the news.
“Is that all? I fail to see the problem. His acts were never that popular to start with. I honestly can’t remember why I made him a member in the first place. Just replace him with a substitute act.”
But what RedLadyDevimon said next was what caused her the most distress.
“That’s the problem, my lady! We have NO other acts!”
It was that news that alerted the demon lord to her fullest attention.
“WHAT!!?”
RedLadyDevimon scrambled through her clipboard in a vein attempt to find a solution.
“We have nothing to close up the show tonight! This is a disaster!!”
With some quick thought, Lilithmon found a likely answer.
“If we have nothing else, than I guess I have to step in.”
Hearing her master’s words however was met with protest from her number one assistant.
“What!? You can’t to that, my lady! You’ve already performed tonight! Doing so would undermine our reputation!”
Lilithmon bit her nail in response. Seemingly agreeing with RedLadyDevimon.
“Hmm. You may have a point there.”
Feeling that there were no other options. RedLadyDevimon made a suggestion. Her face twinged in embarrassment.
“It shames me to suggest this. But…should you command it, then I shall perform a strip tease!”
Celestia was surprised to see the uncomfortable look on RedLadyDevimon’s face from making such a suggestion. Showing that she clearly doesn’t want to do it. Something of which Lilithmon strongly agreed.
“What!? After the incident last time!? Absolutely not!”
“But what else can we do!? We have nothing left!”
Celestia watched on with uncertainty at Lilithmon and RedLadyDevimon. The two demonesses struggling to find a solution to their dilemma. The white Alicorn could see how troubled the pair looked. Despite not being very familiar with night clubs, she knew that such a setback would have grave consequences. Which could lead to bad reviews and the loss of valuable customers.
Despite being a guest, Celestia couldn’t help but feel that she had to help them. Trying to come up with ideas of her own. But much like her hosts, coming up with something on the spot and at the last minute was next to impossible. Quite a daunting task indeed.
Then, just like that, a lightbulb lit up in her mind. An idea came to her. It was a risky step that might not even pay off. But she felt that she had to at least help Lilithmon out. Seeing the Mega Digimon look so concerned didn’t felt right with her. In fact, she wanted to see that smile again.
Taking a step forward, the white Alicorn spoke up. Surprising Lilithmon and RedLadyDevimon with that she has to say.
“E-Excuse me. I think I have an idea.”
The two looked at Celestia with startled expressions. Lilithmon then smiled. Curious to know what the former princess had in mind and proud to see her stepping up.
………………………………………………………………………………….............................................
Over in the main hall, the audience were eagerly waiting in their seats. Muttering to themselves as they made occasional glances over to the stage. Its curtains closed. All curious as to what could arrive to close the show. The murmuring turned to confusion as the stage remained still.
But before discord could happen, RedLadyDevimon materialized in a puff of crimson smoke. Both surprising and reassuring the crowd. With her microphone in her hand, she made her announcement.
“Ladies and gentlemen! We have a surprising announcement to make! For tonight only, we have a brand new, never before seen act lined up just for you!”
Such an announcement caused the audience to grow in excitement. Enthralled to know what the act might be. To which RedLadyDevimon explained.
“What’s more, this performance comes from a place far beyond the Digital World. A land that I’m sure some of you have heard about from the surface. Now! Not delaying you for a single moment longer! Hailing from the world known as Equestria! Give a warm welcome to our special guest! Celestia!”
As soon as RedLadyDevimon vanished from the stage, the crowd applauded as the curtains began to open. The stage seemed dimly lit at first. Then a single spotlight shined from above. Revealing the white Alicorn for all to see. Standing in centre stage. The onlooking crowd let out quiet gasps in awe from never seeing such a creature before. Someone that was truly alien to them. With some exceptions being some of the staff members, AncientVolcanomon and IceDevimon. The latter two were surprised to see the former princess on stage. RedLadyDevimon reappeared on the side-lines. Concerned about Celestia’s idea.
Celestia looked upon the audience with a stomach full of butterflies. It had been a while since she had to stand in front of a large crowd. The last time it happened was when she and her sister announced their retirement. While such a gathering happened on the day when Equestria and the Digital World became linked, it was Twilight Sparkle who took the front. The two sisters merely stood by her side.
Before the nerves could overwhelm her, a sight just in front of her eye caught her attention. Glancing up at the balcony above, she noticed that the purple curtains were fully open. Revealing the golden throne. And sitting upon the throne was Lilithmon herself. The white Alicorn almost flinched in surprise from making eye contact with the Demon Lord Digimon. Despite being quite the distance away. But as she looked at her, the demoness gave her a reassuring smile and a small nod. Giving her the green light. Seeing her giving her approval, Celestia grew a smile. Knowing exactly what to do.
With worries at the back of her mind, Celestia began to close her eyes. Her smile never leaving her face. Just as the audience were confused about what was happening, her horn began to glow. Radiating in a warm golden light. Then high above her head, a golden cloud of magic formed. The crowd were surprised to see a different kind of magic. Then to add to their surprise, music began to emanate from the cloud.
‘Background Music’ ‘Transformation Soundtrack Version from Brother Bear’
As the music began to fill the large room, Celestia’s magic began to grow more radiant. Her body shimmering in a faint golden glow. With her eyes remained shut, she was able to shut off any distractions and focused on the spells she was conjuring. Then as her smile grew, she opened her feathered wings, and spread apart her arms. In doing so, her golden glow erupted into streams of golden light. Flowing through the hall in tune with the music above.
The audience were startled by the golden streams of magic flowing above and around them. As if they were flowing among their own wind currents. But what surprised them more were golden manifestations emerging from the streams. Resembling the animals and creatures that were native to Equestria. All sorts of animals were seen. Birds. Mammals. Marine life. Even creatures such as Timberwolves, Sirens and Manticores. Despite what would be a common sight for the citizens of Equestria, for the Digimon audience, they were amazed by what they were seeing. Not only were the manifestations moving as if they were alive, but they were creatures that no Digimon had ever seen. While there were bird-like Digimon in the Digital World, there were no such basic animals that they were aware of. The crowd became more enthralled at the sight of large mythical creatures. Such as a Hydra, an Ursa Major and even a mighty giant dragon soaring above their heads.
What Celestia was doing, was showing the kind of life that her home world possesses. Displaying it all through visuals and music.
The magic streams had even reached the balcony. Lilithmon was legitimately stunned by the spectacle unfolding before her. Her entire body felt the sudden warm air around her. Her golden hand running through one such stream to feel the warm magic for herself. Even Tinkermon was having fun. Interacting with a magical manifestation of a bunny rabbit. She then looked back down on the stage. Curious to see where Celestia was going to take with her magical display. The magical streams all began to converge back towards the stage.
As the music began to pick up, Celestia’s glowing aura began to become more vibrant. Her form then began to levitate off the ground. Ascending high above the stage. As she rose, all the flowing streams of magic converged behind her. To which took shape that resembled her cutiemark of the sun. To which shinned brighter as Celestia levitated in front of it. As if she was eclipsing it with her own body. As soon as she was centred, the sun shaped magic enveloped the white Alicorn completely. Concealing her with a golden sphere. When within seconds, the heart of the sphere shined ever brighter. Only to erupt in a spectacle akin to a burst of fiery light. The dazzling glow lit up the entire room. Then emerging from the heart of the light was Celestia herself. But gone were her casual clothing. In its place, she wore a magnificent white and purple dress. Golden jewelry adorned her wrists and around her neck. And sitting atop her head was her crown. Unbeknownst to the crowd, Celestia was wearing the very outfit that she wore during her reign as Princess of Equestria.
The radiant regal mare slowly descended back towards the ground. Her body continued to flow in a golden glow. To the crowd, what they were seeing was almost like the birth of a beautiful goddess. Whom began descending towards the earth below her. As Celestia rested back on the ground, the music began to rise in tempo one more time before the magic cloud dispersed in a silent golden explosion. Ending the music.
‘Music end’
With the music finished and her act at an end, Celestia exhaled from the effort she put into her performance and opened her eyes. Looking upon the crowd that were silently staring back at her. At first, Celestia felt unsure about what the response would be. Nerves beginning to stack up. But what came next was an uproar of excitement from the audience. The entire crowd stood up to cheer and applaud the mare for her talents.
“I know her!! I know her!!” IceDevimon said excitedly despite his previous injuries. But still cheering with the crowd.
As the crowd cheered on, Celestia was motionless from the level of positivity she was receiving. It was an idea she just came up with on the spot. To show the kind of life that existed back at her home. It was honestly simple. Yet, the crowd loved it. From receiving such praise, she couldn’t help but smile back as she waved back at them. Then RedLadyDevimon reappeared on stage to give her closing announcement.
“Isn’t that incredible, folks!? I hope you enjoyed our shows tonight! Thank you all for your support! And we’ll see you all soon! Goodnight, everyone!”
Most of the audience began to rise out of their seats to make their leave. As RedLadyDevimon helped with escorting the audience back outside, Celestia remained standing on stage. Her smile remained plastered on her face. Her idea worked perfectly. Plus received a ton of praise from the crowd. She then glanced up at the balcony. Lilithmon remained in her seat. Eyeing her back in return.
“Well done, Sun Muffin,” She quietly said as her smile grew. Giving the Alicorn a nod of gratitude. Seeing her reply caused Celestia’s smile to grow with a small blush in her cheeks.
……………………………………………………………………………………......................................................................
With the show over, Celestia remained backstage. Being told to wait there after her act had finished by the demon lord herself prier to her brave attempt to wow the crowd. The anthro mare was uncertain as to why she was told to wait there. There were no other Digimon present around her.
But she didn’t have to wait for long. She soon spotted Lilithmon emerging from a corridor and entering the room. Celestia turned to face the tall demoness with a hint of uncertainty.
“L-Lilithmon. So…what did you think?”
“I’ll tell you what I think,” Lilithmon responded as she approached the still Alicorn. Her pace steadily increasing.
Celestia froze in place. Unsure why Lilithmon was quickly approaching her. But the demoness still had a smile on her face. So, it was not like she was in trouble. Right?
Celestia would soon see that her worries were for nought. Because the next thing she knew, the demoness wrapped her arms around her and pulled her in for a big affectionate hug.
“You were incredible!” Lilithmon exclaimed in joy. Enthralled by Celestia’s performance.
Celestia remained motionless. She had done what she thought would be impossible and pleased Lilithmon. One of the Seven Great Demon Lord Digimon. And she did it with just her own efforts alone. Being praised by Lilithmon was one thing. But to receive a hug of affection from her. The anthro Alicorn paused with the look of complete surprise on her face. Her face heating up from the growing blush in her cheeks. But there was something else that was happening to her. Being held in Lilithmon’s arms. Feeling the warm embrace of her hold. Breathing in her unique scent. It was causing her to feel something. Something new yet familiar. It’s causing her heart to race. For her to feel breathless. For her…to surrender to it.
Or perhaps… she was feeling all of it because of the lack of oxygen.
“Hmmph!?” She whimpered. Realising that because of her smaller height and that the Mega’s arms were wrapped around her head, the hug was causing her face to be buried in Lilithmon’s large breasts. Finding it difficult to breathe. Her blush burned brighter from the fact that her face was in the Digimon’s bosom.
Fortunately, before she would pass out, Lilithmon released her hold of her. Celestia finally able to breathe. Something of which the Digimon noticed.
“Sorry. I just couldn’t contain my excitement. You went above and beyond for what you have done.”
After getting her breath back, Celestia could see the smile on Lilithmon’s face. The demoness was genuinely happy with what the Alicorn had done for her.
“You…really think so? It was just something I thought of from the top of my head,” She asked. Blushing from flattery. To which Lilithmon gave her reply.
“Absolutely! Your idea was the kind of thing no Digimon had ever seen before! You just saved the show, Sun Muffin!”
Celestia could only smirk from the praise. Happy that the demoness was impressed with her idea. She began to feel bashful as she replied back to her.
“Th-Thank you.”
“So what we’ve seen were the kind of creatures that live in your home world?” Lilithmon asked. Already assuming what the answer would be. To which the Alicorn responded with a nod.
Then Lilithmon started to eye Celestia’s makeover.
“But more importantly, what is that dress? I don’t think I’ve seen it before.”
Looking down at her appearance, Celestia was more than happy to answer the question.
“Oh this? This is actually the royal dress that I wear during my reign as princess.”
“So that’s how you used to look?” Lilithmon asked before eyeing the Alicorn up and down again.
Celestia remained still as she watched Lilithmon checking her out. Even going so far as to circle around her for a full view. When the circle was complete, the former princess saw that the smile on the demoness’s face was growing more mischievous by the second.
“Yes. You really are a princess. Makes things all the better,” Lilithmon whispered to herself. The tone in her voice sounding very suggestive. To which matched with her flirtatious smile.
“You… like how I look in this?” Celestia asked. Feeling that the dress had become an old thing that she had outgrown. But Lilithmon seemed to have taken a very keen interest in it. To which she expressed in her own way.
“Of course! I could just tie you up, kidnap you and have you all to myself!”
Celestia blinked in surprise at the kind of reply she had just heard. But not wanting to frighten her, Lilithmon corrected herself.
“Hmhm. Don’t worry. I won’t kidnap you,” She said with an innocent yet mocking smile.
Celestia again paused from processing Lilithmon’s words. Blinking in surprise.
‘She only denied that part. Not the other?’
Before more could be said on the matter, RedLadyDevimon arrived in the room with an upbeat expression on her face.
“My lady! We truly pulled it off! The response we’ve received have all been positive!”
“That’s wonderful news!” Lilithmon chimed in. But there was more for RedLadyDevimon to add. Looking over to Celestia.
“And there’s even word going around of them possibly wanting to visit your world.”
“Really? They…wanted to see Equestria?” Celestia uttered with a hint of disbelief.
Deep down, Celestia admittingly felt touched by the news. Were the other Digimon really that impressed by what they saw that they wanted to see her world for themselves? It seemed that way.
Glancing over to Celestia to see the smile on her face, Lilithmon couldn’t help but feel proud of her. The anthro mare had to really step out of her comfort zone to achieve something extraordinary. The rush of such good feelings had made the Lord of Lust feel very generous.
“You know what? I think this calls for a toast.”
Using her pocket dimension spell, Lilithmon brought forth a champagne bottle and three glasses. While Celestia looked at the bottle in fascination, RedLadyDevimon gasped in surprise.
“My lady!? Is that…!?”
“Yes. A bottle of digi-honey elixir. Very rare and certainly not cheap.”
Using her golden right hand, Lilithmon popped the cork of the bottle. The fizzy liquid flowing out of the top. But the Ultimate level Digimon was uncertain.
“A-Are you sure!?”
“Of course. This is a special occasion, after all.”
Holding the three glasses in her right hand, Lilithmon poured the champagne into them with such skill that would put a bartender to shame. Using her magic, Lilithmon caused the bottle to levitate out of the way. Then handing RedLadyDevimon one of the filled glasses. She then turned towards Celestia and extended the second class to her.
“What? For me?” She asked. Surprised to receive such a rare drink from the demon lord.
“You’re the star here, Sun Muffin. So why not? To a successful night.”
Not wanting to refuse an offering from Lilithmon, Celestia accepted the glass and took her first sip of the champagne. The Alicorn was amazed by the taste of the liquid. It was strong with honey. But the rush of the bubbles caused her to recoil and shake her head. Lilithmon chuckled from such a cute reaction.
Seeing that she was still the centre of attention, Celestia gave her thoughts on the drink.
“It’s quite lovely,” She said before taking another sip.
While RedLadyDevimon was enjoying her drink, Lilithmon again glanced over to Celestia with a thought. One regarding the Alicorn’s decision.
“You know… you didn’t have to do that. You’re our guest. Yet, you stepped up to help us back there.”
Seeing that Lilithmon was being sincere, Celestia gave her reasoning for her decision.
“Well… it didn’t…felt right not to help. It felt like something I had to do. Also…”
Celestia paused for a moment. Looking over to Lilithmon before continuing her speech. Expressing her honest thoughts along with a loving smile.
“…you really helped me today. It was only right that I helped you.”
Lilithmon was caught completely off guard. Both from Celestia’s words and her facial expressions. It seemed that everything the demon lord had done with her had done more good than she expected. As if when she found her, Celestia was in dire need of help. And with her helpful nature, she chose to help her out in her own hour of need. Something of which not anyone would do so willingly. While Lilithmon had received some help from others in the past, it was either because they were ordered to or done so for self-gain. But Celestia was something else. She was truly selfless. Something that Lilithmon hadn’t seen in someone for a VERY long time.
“My! You sure know how to flatter someone!” Lilithmon replied with a small blush on her face. Raising her right hand to fiddle with one of her hairpins.
Beside the pair, RedLadyDevimon noticed Lilithmon fidgeting with one of her hairpins. A sight that, for one particular reason, caught her by surprise.
Author's Note
Finally! Getting this chapter done before the end of the year wasn't easy. But I finally done it.
One of the trickiest hurdles for me to cross was to figure out what Celestia would do on stage. One of my longest running ideas was for her to do a song. But I hardly had the time to think of one. Never mind writing the lyrics. So I ditched it for something simpler. I honestly think the end result is better because it also showcases Celestia's magical skills.
Now that it seems Celestia had won Lilithmon's favour, what would happen next? You'll just have to wait and see. XD
I hope you all enjoyed reading this chapter. Please leave a like. Leave a comment. And I'll see you all later.
