Asmodeus sat at a round table made of beautiful wood—the purple patterns from the Moka wood made the elegant room feel vibrant and warm. And the purple carpet and display fixtures looked elegant and rather charming.

''This table could sit over ten people...''

At first he wondered why Yuina summoned him and Yumiko after breakfast. However, now, with her sitting beside him and holding his hands while facing the various elders who caused the issues the night before felt stifling.

"Asmodeus, are you alright?" Yumiko''s beautiful ruby eyes peered into his face as she held his hands tight underneath the table.

As their arms gently swayed, the elders began to enter the room with sour faces. Those who were aware of who Asmodeus was had forced smiles as they sat around them. Continue your adventure with mvl

Others didn''t notice him at all, their focus only on Yumiko. Their lost heiress, now appearing with a strange male demon... No, a demon king, and to make that worse, they could sense she was carrying his seed in her stomach.

Asmodeus felt irritated whenever they showed such looks of contempt and disgust towards Yumiko. However, he promised not to cause any problems during the meeting because she wanted to learn more and get closer to her sister. His heart clenched whenever Yumiko tried her best to reassure him.

''I wonder what kind of plans they have for me. Will they pretend to accept me before making an issue to banish me? Or will they simply attempt to murder me?''

A young woman with long blonde hair entered the room, wearing a very light pink dress with silver patterns and frills.

The way her hips moved with each step was like a devilish seductress. Asmodeus realised this woman was also an elder, her eyes gazing at him instead of Yumiko before lifting the corners of her lips with a cryptic smirk as she sat.

"Well, now, it seems we are all here." The woman spoke first, a charming and clear voice like a bell wrapped in velvet ribbons. "Princess Yuina, thank you for attending this meeting today. The same to Princess Yumiko, thank you."

"We welcome you as the elders of the Inukami tribe."

After the seductive female spoke, the elders began to greet them one by one. It seemed they were attempting to apologise, so Asmodeus stopped emitting his aura to crush their spirits.

The old man who caused so much trouble last night bowed, but his smile twitched. He wasn''t happy about Yuina calling them this early.

"I think we should first address Your Highness and the future; forgive me, Princess Yumiko. We were too far ahead of ourselves. Can you forgive our actions?"

''Hmmm... they are only apologising to Yumiko, but that''s fine with me.''

Yumiko looked at Yuina with a curious glance before squeezing the hand of her lover for confirmation. She had done well to play the part of an obedient princess in her youth, but now she was a demon and the future empress of the demon king. Her plans changed, and so did her heart.

''I will make him the emperor of this world... Since these men and others always look down on him...'' She thought of something that Yumiko had considered for the longest time.

"Yes, we will accept your apology," Yumiko said in a sweet and high-pitched voice.

At those words, the elders sighed in relief. As if expecting Asmodeus to react, they turned to him with cold faces filled with fear, but he didn''t respond at all. Although Asmodeus hated them, he wanted to know their plan first, so he played along with Yumiko, hoping she''d let him punish the elders later.

''After all, they are her family. She seems happy to just trick them for now... My lovely wife.''

Then, the agenda moved to the sudden invitation a few hours prior. This caused many of the elders to look sour because this invite would cause them to suffer significant damage and because it was their turn to serve as the emperor next. The Fenrir used this underhanded proposal to try to tie up their heir.

"What should we do about those damn dogs?" The elder, who was uptight the night before, sounded more pleasing to Asmodeus when he began to curse the wolves.

Meanwhile, the Elders seem to have finished their voting with four against and seven for. It seemed Asmodeus would become Princess Yuina''s fiance for the next few weeks at least.

***

After the meeting, Asmodeus, Yuina and Yumiko were sitting in the private room of Princess Yuina. Of course, they would be here to talk about the future ball while enjoying some tea and snacks.

''Why are they so close to me... Yumiko is one thing, but Yuina is clinging to me by copying Yumiko''s actions!''

Asmodeus was seated between the sisters in a sandwich style. Both sisters wore matching kimonos with thick fur coats and long white socks. Only their hairstyles were different—Yumiko kept her hair straight down to her ass with long bangs, and Yuina tied it in a half braid over her shoulder, revealing her soft, delicate neck to Asmodeus.

"Yuina... you know it''s just pretending, right? There''s no need to be so close to him."

"Sister~ I need to look realistic, so I am just playing my part... ah, his chest is full of muscle... so sexy..."

"Yuina? What did you say, oi? Stop hugging him!"

"Dear sister~ It''s only a hug between in-laws, don''t be so jealous.... hehe, so warm and comfortable."

''....''

''They really ARE sisters!''

At first, he thought Yuina was a cute and pure little golden fox, but the moment they weren''t being watched, she transformed into a predator! Asmodeus now realised why she sent away her maids and instead brewed the tea himself.

[You are really popular with fox girls...]

''It''s good you are a fox too, then, right?''

[Hmph... that little princess! I used to bless her, but maybe I should curse her instead...]

''Don''t be jealous....''

[Who is jealous?!]

Asmodeus noticed something about Serena over the past few months...

The closer and more he spoke with her, it felt like she was an onion at first, with him slowly peeling away the dry outer layers until he found the soft, and emotional inner layers, and now she felt quite human in her interactions.

Though he worried about them becoming something more, because it would cause significant issues if she entered the fight.

"Sister... do you get to lay beneath this body every night?! I am so jealous...."

"Yuina... get your hands out of his robe, or I''ll beat your ass!"

"Oh, my~ brother-in-law, my dear sister is going to hurt me. Please keep me safe, hehe~ this is so fun."
