"Didn't think those tied to Molag Bal were capable of pleasantries."
The Ancient Vampire chuckled slightly, her voice cold as she said "Most aren't. Just don't think that our claws aren't as sharp as the others, girl. I promise you-"
My eyes widened as she appeared beside me, the air frigid as she placed a talon against my neck.
"Ours are even sharper."
Returning to her throne in a spiral of writhing shadows, she smirked at me again, before gesturing at the table.
"Again, sit and drink. I would like to discuss some... things with you."
Rayya just glanced at me, awaiting my order.
Sighing, I placed my axe back into my inventory and moved forwards, Rayya mirroring me as she sheathed her blade.
We might just barely manage to win against this woman, but...
Her crimson eyes were fixed on mine, and I shivered slightly.
Damnit, I would love to have a taste of her...
That predatory gaze made me hot, and I wondered if that was something we could... negotiate.
Sitting at the table in front of her, I glanced around at the remaining Vampires, noting that only the Fledglings seemed irritated at our presence.
The Male Mistwalker and Futanari Nightstalker were the most interested, with the Vampires below them being neutral about us joining them at the table; in fact, they just returned to eating.
The man smiled warmly at me, his sharp and scholarly features at odds with the sharp fangs and ruby eyes that shown with malice as he spoke, his voice melodic but cold.
"Greetings, my Lady. Your control over your magicka was rather impressive."
"It was indeed. Especially considering you're a Redguard. Most of your kind tend to care naught for the arcane, but focus instead on the material."
Next, the futa grinned at me, her sensual smile making me grin back, especially when she licked those plump lips of hers.
She had breasts slightly larger than mine, which were almost entirely out for the world to see; she wore the vampire armor from the game, but the boob window was larger, and her breasts laid in a pouch, resulting in them almost bouncing free with each movement.
Leaning forwards, she smirked at me as she whispered "Sanguine Cultists are so predictable..."
I leaned forwards as well, grinning at her as I replied "Indeed, but it makes our talks quicker; you know what I want, so all you need to negotiate is how much I give you in exchange~! Simplicity, but it works wonderfully."
She nodded, extending her hand forwards.
"I'm Cana, wife of Kavita."
Taking her hand, I said "Jeleia, owner of a large Harem~!"
She chuckled, before glancing up at the bored woman on the throne.
"Sadly, my wife seems to be... uncaring of such things. She's lucky that I fell for her charm, or else-"
"You're lucky that the thing between your legs satisfies me, Cana."
Hearing the Ancient Vampire. Kavita's voice again, I chuckled as Cana rolled her eyes.
"Yes dear. Anyways, that terrible man there is Gil, and he turned because he wanted to sleep with Kavita, where she promptly tore out his throat for the suggestion."
The scholarly man, Gil, glared at Cana, who chuckled.
"Alright, introductions over; I know that the girl beside you is your thrall, so no big deal, and the others don't need to be introduced."
Nodding, I let go of Cana's hand and slid back into my seat, lifting the wine glass that Cana poured for me.
"So, what do you want to know?"
Taking a sip, I gave the sensual woman across from me a look, the iron tang of blood evident in the wine.
Giggling, she was about to push another forwards when I downed the rest, enjoying the novelty.
Staring at me for a moment, Cana's stiff smile widened into a grin, and she glanced at Kavita and said "I like her~!"
Giving her wife a dry look, Kavita turned back to me and said "First, I'm guessing you were sent here from Falkreath? To kill that one?"
She gestured loosely at the head of Vighar, and I shrugged.
"Most likely, yes. I was just told that there was a 'Clan of Vampires' residing here that needed to be cleared.
Nodding, Kavita then asked "What reason did you have for wanting to complete that... request?"
The other Vampires stared intently at me, with the Fledglings leaning forwards, glaring at me.
Shrugging, I said "Besides becoming Thane so I could buy some premium land, I also wanted to get that idiot of a Jarl off the throne."
"Why?"
Kavita stared at me, her long gray hair concealing most of her features.
Taking another sip of my wine, I swirled the crimson liquid in the cup as I said "For the moment, that's just because I would like to put my own person on the throne, to give myself a powerful backer."
Nodding, Kavita asked "So what was the long term goal?"
Grinning at her, I said "Why should I share? I think I've given enough. Besides, for the moment, we're only acquaintances."
Kavita nodded again, staring down at the table.
"Then a trade of information. I can tell you about the movings of the Volkihar, as well as the various smaller Clans, in exchange for you binding yourself as a partner of this Clan. I need people who can walk freely, and none do it better than those that serve the Prince of Debauchery."
Smirking at her, I said "I don't care about Harkon and his court; sure, they're powerful, but I also know about the things he desires. Harkon alone isn't a problem, nor are the Clans that roam Skyrim. What I do care about..."
Cana chuckled as she glanced at her wife, saying "Really Kavita, we know what she would want; the woman's been staring at my breasts since she sat down."
Sighing slightly, Kavita sat back and pinched her nose, before saying "Fine. You can sleep with us for a night, Jeleia, if you sell information to me about the world."
Nodding, I asked "How does that work?"
"Magicka binding via spoken oath. Made worse by our respective Lords, so don't break it."
Taking another sip of wine, I grinned up at her as I asked "So, when do you want to swear it?"
My nonchalance seemed to amuse Cana and vex Kavita, as the Ancient Vampire fell silent again as she stared at me.
Sighing, she got up and stalked over to me, and started speaking.
I couldn't truly understand the words, but I knew the meaning behind what was spoken; she was speaking in Daedric, and I watched as runes appeared around her, before they floated towards me, becoming translucent.
[Ah, it's been awhile since anyone's sworn by the Daedric Oathes... You'll earn yourself a good ally here, Jeleia dear~! Besides, you aren't making to Molag, but to his unwilling but powerful lover Lamae Bal, the Blood Mother of the Vampires. Not a Prince, but she is... like yourself; a woman on her way to becoming a Daedra in her own right. As for whether or not Molag will attempt anything with you, well...]
A dark chuckle entered my mind, and I shivered slightly.
[Rape falls under Debauchery, does it not? Besides, his dominion is naught but a specific of my broad Domain... and he knows not to mess with me. My power might not be known, but the vices of mortals know no bounds, meaning...]
Shivering again, I muttered "Your power knows no bounds..."
The others stared at me in confusion, but I ignored them, focusing on the link between Sanguine and I.
[Indeed dear. Mortals tend to think that I care only for lust and gluttony, but I encapsulate all of your vices... be it sex, drink, or blood. Molag knows that, as do the others. As. Should. You.]
The threat in his words made me shiver, but I could only chuckle as I whispered "But I did know, Lord. It wasn't like I truly entertained that thought, now did I?"
[Ha~! True, you've been a rather obedient Champion. Now, go on. Continue spreading my influence on Nirn. Your journey has been a rather entertaining break from the dullness of Oblivion.]
Nodding, I returned my attention entirely to the present, before grinning at Kavita.
Speaking out the oath, we both watched as the runes flared, before they shot into our bodies, signifying the completion of the oath.
Kavita pursed her lips before sighing again, gesturing at Cana.
"Well, come on then..."
Her wife rose to her feet, licking her lips as she stared at me with lust.
"Let's go seal this deal of ours, Jeleia."

So, I looked a little into the Daedric Princes, and honestly...
When you think about it, Sanguine never truly displays his power, nor does he really... care about the mortal world.
He's just there to have a good time.
And yet, like Dionysus from Greek Myth, he is likely one of the most powerful 'Gods' in the Elder Scrolls lore.
Mortal Vice, or Dark Desires is his domain; not just Lust, not just Gluttony...
Vice, Desire.
What does humanity have in excess?
Vices, and Desires.
Which...
Yeah...
I mean, yes, Nocturnal is literally listed as not Daedra, but Ur-Dra, meaning she is unique, and while Mehrunes and Sheogorath are insanely strong...
Well, ones crazy and the other has been defeated many times before.
As for Molag Bal?
Strong, yes, but he literally rules a subdomain of lust, if you get into technicalities.
And who rules lust?
Sanguine.
Also, I just really dislike Molag Bal, even if his dick is a weapon for Vivec...
Which is fucking hilarious and why I love Elder Scrolls lore so damn much.
Anyways, my book, my interpretation on the lore, so Sanguine stronk

Whew~
