"Asmodeus... is everything alright?" Erika's voice echoed from the doorway as she looked inside his private room.
She noticed him sitting at his desk with a dark face, inside his hands a piece of parchnt, likely a letter he just opened.
'Is it from Grigor?'
At first, she feared sothing might have happened to Alan or the kingdom of Grigor. Erika knew he held a fondness for those people, and so she beca worried.
'mories of that place feel nostalgic now... before I beca close to him and almost joined another noble as their chosen.'
Erika received offers from several nobles in the kingdom of Grigor before Alan approached her. The nobles offered her things like riches and treasure.... and others offered land, glory or marriage with their kin.
'To think back then... I only refused on a whim because I had a crush on this man.'
She stepped inside because Asmodeus seed oblivious to her presence. He tapped the desk while muttering to himself in a strange language that Erika couldn't understand.
Slowly, carefully, her long legs brought her to his side without noise, and then she placed a hand on his shoulder.
The sudden actions caused Asmodeus to snap up and wrap both hands around her neck suddenly.
"Ack...?!" Erika's eyes widened as she saw his face, clearly realising her mistake.
His abnormality only lasted for a mont, with bloodshot eyes and a sharp gaze. Erika felt a sense of terror in his strange atmosphere. However, before it started to hurt, his hands loosened, and his eyes returned to normal.
"Sorry, Eri... I shouldn't have done that." Asmodeus spoke with a gentle tone—his fingertips flickered with magic as he stroked her soft neck.
'Ah... he's healing the wounds, it feels so warm and pleasant.'
"Nn... Asmodeus, it's fine. I am the one who snuck in here. Are you alright?" Erika's voice sounded a little hoarse because of her sore throat. Which allowed her to notice the movent of his eyebrows and the guilty look Asmodeus made.
"Are you sure? If you want sothing as an apology, don't hold back."
Although Erika was a masochist who liked this kind of thing in the bedroom, when it happened like this, she felt relieved that he treated it differently.
Her hands wrapped around his wrists, and Erika couldn't help but shake her head. "No, it's fine... if you could tell what made you so upset in the first place, that's enough."
"Phew..." Asmodeus let out a long sigh as he leaned back in his large chair before pulling Erika onto his lap with a tug.
"Ahh?! Nnn~ so forceful."
"You are the one smiling so happily, is it comfortable?"
"Very~ so, will you tell ?"
Erika gazed up at his face, trying to make herself look as cute as possible—with glistening eyes, she leaned against his chest with her head.
'He looks so handso when thinking so hard, I can't help but fall for him again.'
'Oh... what's that smile about?'
Asmodeus gazed towards the window before reaching out for the parchnt he had read a mont before, but his face and atmosphere felt different.
This ti, he curled his lips into a superficial grin, and his eyes seed softer.
"To be honest, this is a ssage from the elven border... it seems that demons were sighted in large numbers on their eastern boarder... but this ssage was delayed and should have arrived over two weeks ago."
"Eh, two weeks?! Then...?" Erika could understand from his warm voice and how he explained things in detail. He was sharing his burden and thoughts with her. It felt great to listen to him speaking and telling her the issue...
"I was thinking about what might have happened, then this letter ca today..."
Asmodeus picked up a letter that seed tattered, and there were bloody fingerprints across the seal. "The person who sent this was so wounded they almost died."
'Oh?! Then that strange visitor last night!'
"Was it them who ca last night?"
"Yeah... they arrived and caused chaos, so we rushed to try and save them. The news of this letter makes feel conflicted."
"Why?" Erika wanted to understand him better because Asmodeus began doing the sa for her and the other won after he returned to his blond hair and calm atmosphere.
'He's really like the Ryuji I rember, but now he understands won better~ hehe.'
"Celia's mother... they are sending her to fight back the demons. It seems the alliance that was spread between the elves and demons was a lie. Probably soone's plot..."
"So, it was to force soone to move... wait isn't that the reason we left?!"
Suddenly, Erika's mind started to place the situation and events together—the big reason for Asmodeus to leave Grigor was, of course, to beco stronger and see the world.
Erika rembered a large trigger for that was to et with Ciela's mother and ask her to cancel the alliance with the demons...
'Because they all threatened to wage war on Grigor!'
"Asmodeus!" She couldn't help but grasp his chest, pulling on his tunic while looking worried, her lovely round eyes filled with concern. "They..."
"Shh... that's right, this is probably bait or because we've already succeeded here. The enemy is forcing our hand and not giving ti to prepare."
It wasn't a voice of defeat; Erika could feel the aura flowing from his body; despite being calm, she could feel Asmodeus and his desire to fight.
'He must be angry. I know how much he cherishes us all. Especially Ciela...'
Ciela was different from the other won because the way he and Asmodeus ended up together left a slight scar and wound on the demon king. He always felt this happened because of his mistake forcing Ciela to take his side...
'Yet Ciela herself admitted to falling for him when they t for the first ti to us girls...'
'On this trip... I hope he and Ciela can clear this misunderstanding he feels.'
Erika loved Asmodeus—she couldn't deny her jealousy and desire to be more important to him than the other girls. But she also wanted the best for him and thus didn't dislike or hate them either.
She tried her best to remain fair.
"Are you worried about Ciela?" A soft, comforting voice like a mother would lower her tone and voice to an upset child.
Asmodeus gazed at the crumpled letter, then back to Erika with a bitter smile. "Very..."
"If I waited a little longer to awaken as a demon lord, then she wouldn't have been dragged into this." Asmodeus sounded a little tired or maybe worn out as he spoke. Erika noticed his hands hugging her back tighter as he spoke.
'It's rare for him to show or acknowledge his weaknesses...'
"I know she carries feelings for now, but I can't help but worry they will vanish one day... like a candle in the wind."
"You wouldn't believe even if I told you it's not true right?" Erika curled her lips into a bitter smile while speaking her mind as she nestled her face against his neck. "I promise you, that girl liked you as you were, even before becoming a demon lord."
"Ha...."
Asmodeus breathed out, looking at Erika in his arms, who rocked against him while stroking along his spine and sending tingles to his brain. "I know that you aren't lying... but."
"You still feel guilty and want to do sothing to make it up to her, right?"
"Erika... you really know well."
"Because I love you, even if you are an idiot at tis."
"Haha... so cruel."
"Hm~ but you love too, so I won't get mad."
Erika leaned closer to Asmodeus and kissed his neck. Her lips softly brushed along his tanned skin before poking out her tongue, slithering along his skin, and biting down to teach him a lesson for being stupid.
"That hurts... you little dog...."
"Wan~ I am your dog. Wan wan~ hehe, do you want to play with ?"
Asmodeus took a deep breath—the corners of his lips trembled as Erika continued to make cute barking sounds in his ears while kissing his face repeatedly.
Eventually, she found her target as her tongue slipped across his lips, her sticky saliva coating them before pushing into his mouth.
"Mm..." She cooed gently in his mouth and shuddered as she felt his warm hands around the back of her neck. She couldn't help but get excited as their mouths began sucking and making wet noises. "Paa... ha...ha... Nn... mwa..."
Their kiss continued until both of their lungs burned, forced to pull back with their faces flushed. Although their kiss lasted a few minutes in real life, for Asmodeus and Erika, who lost their senses in their mouths, this ti lasted forever. Find adventures at empire
"If you kiss like this, I'll be in trouble, Your Highness." Erika joked, treating him like a king, while biting her lower lip with narrowed eyes.
"We don't have long... The others will soon finish their little tea ti, so let's make quick use of this table?" Her offer sounded sweet, and he couldn't refuse her request.
"You temptress..."
"Just your demon knight~ Your Highness..."
Asmodeus pushed everything off the surface of his desk and lay Erika on her back while helping to remove his belt. With desire in her eyes, she unfastened her skirt and top, letting them fall to reveal her unblemished body.
"Ah?! Mmmm.... So aggressive...ah... y-you beast... my king!"
The sudden sound of wood slamming against stone and a pleasant-sounding female voice filled the hallway of the palace, causing the female knights standing guard to beco embarrassed.
Although they desired to peek, how could they do so and make the demon king angry...
"They are very rough..."
"Mm... Lady Erika seems to like it this way..." The second guard with short black hair down to her neck responded with a bright red face.
"Though, why does she keep barking like a dog?"
Both guards couldn't help but peek towards the door, with their hearts racing faster.
Filled with curiosity, they took a peek.
