Asmodeus sat across his throne with his legs crossed over the arm while lounging comfortably without grace. In his hands were the docunts sent from Baltimore and recent cases where villagers suddenly died of a strange disease.
’Black veins, loss of mory, going berserk... exploding.’
His scowl grew ever stronger the more he read the docunts.
Nerim, on the other hand, waited in silence as she lifted her heels up and down, excited to see him after a while. Her eyes shone bright as she held the massive book related to the monster of the deep.
"Husband, would you read this?"
"Hm?"
He glanced at the title and raised his brows.
Upon seeing his reaction, she quickly raised her voice and waved the book in the air. "W-Wait, wait! Don’t look like that, Sister Alice said you should read it!"
"Oh? Alice did... Mmm, okay then."
He took the heavy book from her, letting his fingers stroke along Nerim’s hand with a smile on his lips. "Thanks, Nerim."
"Mhm!" She watched him with brightly flushed scales.
Asmodeus wanted to pull her onto his lap and enjoy the service of a little rmaid in the emperor’s court, but sadly, this issue wasn’t sothing he could shrug off.
’A strange reaction to sea water... the monster of the deeps.’
He flipped the book open and glanced through the contents, skipping to the story of a great beast that existed in the ocean.
- Excerpt from the moirs of Adventurer and Sailor Balin du Verd, Empire calendar 522
"The monster carries similarities with the giant kraken that lurks in the northern seas, and yet the sheer size and terror it exudes with a single shriek cannot be comparable to such a small, cute creature."
His mories speak of a creature that attacked his ships in the early years of the Second Great War, which covered the mainland.
In search of new lands to escape and avoid these horrible wars, Balin discovered the continent for the first ti... but to reach the continent from the north, where the fires of war hadn’t yet started, led him to face this beast.
"Like the great fiend behemoth which lingers in the south, this monster... the Leviathan, a serpent which swallows all, cannot be felled by normal ans. When the hired sailors used the state-of-the-art cannons, the monster barely flinched!"
Lost in the book, ti gradually ground to a halt as his ti domain activated.
He beca enchanted by the words, hidden ssages and the facts which he could see only after reaching this level of existence.
’The creature ntioned must be an Abyssal beast... likely one of the originals... but didn’t Serena kill the only remaining of the four?’
When he put the book down, he saw the frozen Nerim watching him with soft, affectionate eyes while sitting on the edge of his seat.
"This cheeky girl tried to sneak onto my lap..." With a chuckle, he pulled her into his embrace and slowly reduced the effect of his ti domain; the complex nature of ti always confused him...
He could stop ti for himself and those close to him, but if others moved, did he really stop ti? He ca to the belief that it was just a gimmick if he couldn’t freeze the entire world with a single activation.
’One day...’
"What?! Eh? Why am I suddenly in your arms?!"
"Shhh, just relax for a mont. I’ve already read the book and decided on my next action. You’ve done extrely well, Nerim." He stroked through her long pink hair, folding it around his fingertips, as her back relaxed against his chest.
"Really, did I do enough... I’m worried about not helping—Ah~"
Asmodeus hugged her tightly with both hands around her chest, "Don’t doubt yourself. Alice has been singing your praises, but right now it’s just you and ."
Nerim’s body subtly shook in his embrace, her soft heat spreading across his body as she glanced up at him innocently. "You..."
"Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything more than hug you, okay?"
No matter how much he lusted for his wives, they forced him to keep those activities inside his room or places where other people wouldn’t co. The throne room was special, even to Serena, and thus, he held back.
Locked in an embrace, he began asking questions. "How are you finding it here? Is it sowhere you feel comfortable?"
"Nn, at first it felt a little scary, with all the other won watching and judging ... but after I spoke to them it wasn’t that big an issue."
"Really? What was the issue in reality then?"
"Ehehe, do you really want to know?" She twisted on his stomach, lying on her side, with her head resting on his shoulder.
"Of course, you’re my lovely little rmaid wife."
"Mm~ well, they just wanted to make sure I loved you, that I ca here with the right intentions, and if I wanted money or fa, that they could give millions of gold, but I would have to leave instantly."
’They did that?’
"Who?"
He wouldn’t pursue it, just knowing that his won dealt with these things in silence brought a sense of comfort, though he adored every one of them. There wasn’t an eternal promise that their feelings were identical, and sotis people changed.
Asmodeus only counted his blessings that all his won remained faithful and ca to him imdiately whenever they had an issue or need.
"Mm~ Yumiko ca to first, she wasn’t aggressive but kindly made a drink and asked all sorts of questions about how I felt, what ca to mind the instant I thought of you... then she gradually beca more specific.... uhm... and asked.... about the sex...."
The more she spoke, the more Nerim’s scales glowed with a deep royal blue hue, her cheeks faintly pink as she covered her face with both palms.
"Haha, so what happened after that?"
Nerim remained quiet, her body shifting on his lap as she humd and groaned while squirming, "We discussed our favourite position and... how your thing changes shape depending on what we want, or need to... to cum."
Asmodeus always wondered what his won spoke about, but after this, she began to ask normal questions as if passing Yumiko’s purity test needed to speak about his cock.
When she finished speaking, her body slumped against his as she closed her eyes with a smile.
"So, you feel welco?"
"Mhm, I’ve spent a lot of ti with Yumiko and her sister. After work, they take to the Beast Empire to enjoy their cuisine and play with the cute girls. Tsukihana reminds of you so much... but she kept sniffing and asking if I was food."
"Hahahaha, Tsuki is a little strange, but she loves seafood... Ah!" Once he finished speaking, he suddenly realised sothing.
"W-What?! Did sothing happen?"
"No, but this issue of the ocean being polluted or affected by Abyssal energy will affect the amount of seafood we import. That ans she’ll be coming to complain angrily to her dad, and make fix the issue whether I like it or not..."
"Who?"
"Tsukihana!"
Asmodeus closed his eyes, thinking of the lovely fox barking her cute orders to him while sitting on his lap. Aurelia wouldn’t shout, but her big little eyes would likely beco wet and tearful knowing she can’t eat seafood as much.
The best girls would have to be Velmina and Ravena...
Serena’s education of Ravena was quite strict during lessons or training, but very lax at other tis. The lovable angel would then rush to find her dad to complain about her mother, winning dad bonus points.
Ryusei, however, seed to follow his mother’s education even outside of lessons.
’A good lad.’
Maybe like he adored his mother, the boy who resembled him most also idolised Serena.
"Let’s go see the girls together tonight. I’ll need Yumiko and Yuina’s help to deal with this issue anyway, since they’re both my wives and shrine maidens. Their purification might just be able to stop the issue temporarily..."
"Mhm, Yumiko said she missed you,"
"I miss them more."
Asmodeus spent too long in the empire, although he could visit during the night, and slow ti... the distance travelled would leave him exhausted.
Since he ca back, he decided to spend each night with two of his wives, especially those who got along well.
This allowed him to et them all in a single week, without fights or rushing.
It beca such an arduous task that he used his domain to the limit to ensure each and every one of his children had 4-5 hours with him a day.
His wives would get 2-3 at most.
’Ti managent takes half my ti...’
Nerim didn’t complain and held back the other comnts that Yumiko and the others said about worrying about Asmodeus’s body and how he overworks himself to et them daily, despite their assurance that they could wait.
She tucked the words into her chest and cuddled him tight.
"You don’t need to force yourself, Husbadn... we’ll wait for you, and endure any hardship just for a simple cuddle like this. So have more confidence. You even managed to change ! I never wanted to beco a mother... until the mont I fell for you."
"Really?"
"Mhm, thank you for coming into my life, and I am sure the others will say the sa."
He pressed his chin against her head, closing his eyes.
Sohow, the simple complints and words of Nerim brought a sense of stability to the constantly raging elents within his body, even the unruly death energy humd to a halt while hugging her from behind.
Was it the cool water that wrapped her skin, keeping her gills lubricated?
Or just the kind nature of Serena, despite her rough appearance, that brought this calm.
He didn’t know...
But lying in her cooling embrace, everything beca dark as he fell into a light sleep.
"See, look how hard you work just to read a book we suggested..." Nerim gently slipped from his body before placing a thick blanket over his chest. "I’m beginning to realise how much I adore these weaker, hidden sides of you."
Nerim turned to leave shaking her head.
"Freezing ti just to hug for a little longer..."
She smiled from cheek to cheek. "Idiot, why are you so cute?!" With a bright red hue covering her face, she left the throne room and winked at Alice, who held a box full of docunts and waited at the door.
"It’s your turn now, Sister."
