Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

'I wonder if he realises how rude and dangerous it is to speak about a new empress while another is reigning. However, indeed, our family hasn't let another family take their place for fifteen years now, which is also strange.'

"You wish to see the capital? I understand, though Avencrest is quite beautiful please be aware the empress wishes to meet as soon as possible. I hope that you will consider this, too."

Asmodeus looked at Juliet, his lips curling into a smile. Honestly, he found this grey wolf to be pleasing. She carried an air of royalty, much like Yuina when he first met her. Not only did she know how to be pleasant and how to interact with others. Juliet showed her backbone and bottom line politely.

He stroked the hand of Yuina, who looked up at him with a faint smile, then spoke with a voice filled with charm. "We will be going to the imperial palace after we visit the capital. I do not wish to disrespect the Empress. However, as my husband said, we will be taking over the ruling of this city at the end of the month, so if you would forgive our rude actions.

But, I wish to know how the people are living."

Juliet nodded at his answer, and his eyes looked towards her. "Juliet, would you mind showing us around the capital?" Yuina added to the end of her words. A softer voice with more emotion than before.

The grey wolf nodded at the words of Yuina's speech. 'She is trying to see the reality of the people. How kind is she?' The answer to the golden-haired fox in front of her pleased her greatly.

In reality, Juliet only spoke about heading to the palace out of worry. She thought her sister might have already contacted the temple to cause some issues in the handover. This happened last time. Then afterwards, the princess of the Varmen tribe was involved in a scandal with a human commoner.

'Though once I learned the truth, it was too late... How could my sister have the poor Lady Vul'keta framed?'

Asmodeus could tell that Juliet wasn't a bad person, so he didn't get involved after his initial actions. The carriage slowly began to travel around the massive city. Each of the five clans created a small sector of the city.

'Each of these sectors is vast... and it's only the nobles who live in this part of the city.'

The division of the sectors further confused Asmodeus and Yuina. Because they forced the commoners to live in cheaper, inferior homes with poor ventilation and badly made chimneys. The nobles lived in larger mansions and homes with magical cleaning, hot water and services.

"Wouldn't it be better to go to the poorer parts? I want to see the average citizens. After all, the nobles will have nothing but praise for the empire," Yuina spoke up, her head poking out the window as she sniffed the air. Her three golden tails fluttered in the face of Asmodeus.

'This lady is Princess Yuina? She seems to care more about the commoners... will she be able to bring a change to our stagnant empire corrupted with greed?' Juliet wondered; although a princess, she started the empire's first charity organisation to help the starving war orphans.

'However, at each step, the nobles and my sister keep impeding progress...'

Juliet tapped the carriage several times before they began to enter the poor zone of the Varmen district. A place where many of the aviation and bird-type beastmen lived.

Though, the city became far more cramped and dirty, with the streets covered in dirt. A smell of rotting food and something else hit Asmodeus and Yuina. Causing Asmodeus to frown. He used magic to clean the surrounding air.

Yet it was not enough to remove the foul atmosphere.

Yuina's eyes became wet with tears, seeing the cold, poor and homeless from young to old lying on the streets or hiding in the dark passages between houses. A small group of children ran towards the carriage, their clothes and feathers dirty. They had no shoes, and one was missing a part of their ear.

"Please... we wish for some bread." The children begged. Asmodeus felt the urge to throw money, but what was the point of that? He knew this wouldn't help them in the long run.

Yuina also felt the same, but she still couldn't resist giving to them before Asmodeus grasped her wrist to stop her. "Ah... Asmodeus?!"

"What good is money going to do? They will just get beaten up by those adults over there keeping an eye on them."

Juliet clenched her fists. She knew all too well. Asmodeus acted like the other nobles who saw this as pointless. That's why her heart became pained. She hoped he was different from the others.

"Then what should I do to help them?"

"Leave it to me. Let me get out and stop the carriage."

To their surprise, Asmodeus jumped from the door while it was moving.

He looked at the mixture of boys and girls, all of them with weak wings missing many feathers. The children trembled from his sharp gaze. His black sclera with sapphire pupils felt like they were staring into the abyss. He was a true demon, after all.

A creature of darkness and destruction. Yet the man had his morals, and he couldn't allow these children to live in such a way. He would make sure they would become happy. Chapter Explore:

"Who are you, mister?"

"Please give us food!"

It was the cutest two girls that asked while they gazed at him with eyes opened wide and filled with tears. Asmodeus crossed his arms and looked at the four girls and two boys, all of them malnourished, before he spoke.

"Do you all have family in this city?" His voice was cold and lacked any emotion, causing the cute girls to tremble but keep holding out their arms. They wanted to be fed, but they were too scared to come closer. Instead, the bravest boy moved forward.

"We don't have a family other than each other! There is no one to trust other than that!"

"Then, would you like to leave with me and leave this city? I am a ruler, and I have more than enough resources. It's your choice, but I would prefer it if you would follow me."

Asmodeus began to release his magic and aura, causing the entire city to shudder. His body was wrapped in a beautiful bloody flame while he spread his arms to the children.

"I am a demon king, not only can I make you strong enough to protect those you hold dear. I will never let you starve as long as you never betray me."

The children began to cry and weep loudly, and to the surprise of Asmodeus, terrified of him they hugged each other. However, the brave boy struggled and tried to keep looking at Asmodeus with a resistant glare. He was the oldest of the bunch. The other five looked up to him and trembled.

He tried to put on a brave face. "Wha-what will you ask us to do?" He was the only one to answer. While the others were scared and didn't want to leave, he did so to protect the others.

"I will train you both, first combat, second survival skills and third learning to read, write and whatever you want to learn for the next ten years."

"Hmmm.... after that...?" The boy looked exhausted, his small aura fizzling away as he protected the kids behind him.

"If you wish to remain under my service, I will make you into a knight, grant you a title and pay you well. Or, you can live in the place of your liking. All I seek is for you to grow up and reach your limits."

It was at that moment the boy collapsed, and Asmodeus moved to catch the child. 'This one is the most talented, and I will make sure that he will have a bright future. So, don't you give up now?'

"Then... save us from those thugs... they will kill us if we fail." His weak voice and hand pointed to the gang hiding around the corner, who, after seeing the boy's actions, made their move.

"Oi, I don't think these brats are worth your time, Sir Noble."

One of the thugs stepped forward, looking at Asmodeus with an inquisitive gaze. It seemed more trouble fell onto his plate, unbeknown to him; both to him both Juliet and Yuina watched him with shining eyes.

"I cannot believe that the Demon King is that generous..." Juliet muttered in a confused tone, yet she watched him keenly, not wishing to miss a thing. Her ears were fully upright, and her tail was swaying in anticipation.

"Ah... he's so amazing, broth—My betrothed is so amazing..." Yuina sighed, her hands clasped together. Her eyes sparkled as she watched Asmodeus.

The pair seemed to get along, though at first, it was difficult; after Asmodeus began to move, it felt like something shattered, and their conversation continued.

"Do you think he can manage it alone, Princess Yuina?"

"I wonder if you know my husband's strength? Even in a one-sided fight, he would still be victorious. Also, since you've treated me so well, don't be so stiff; call me Yuina. We're both royalty." Yuina spoke softly, while narrowing her pleased eyes at the scene of Asmodeus protecting the children.

'Soon my sister will give birth... will he be a great dad to that child too? I'm jealous of her...'
