"Oh, and what is that?!" She tilted her head with a smirk.

’Ah, I forgot she’s an Abyssal...’

However, he didn’t stop and then placed his palm in front of her face. "Well, for the male Abyssals, they’re crazy about this."

Fwoom~

A burst of divine aura spread from his palm, growing in size until forming a ball-shaped sphere that slowly rotated.

Serena nodded, her eyes narrowing into slits as she licked her lips.

"You’re right, that is something we cannot resist... such a delectable source of divine power."

That’s when Asmodeus raised his other hand, blocking her from the divine aura and curled his lips into a broad grin. "But for female Abyssals, there is something much, much more effective for drawing them in."

She nodded along, still watching the floating sphere with hungry eyes.

"Oh, what’s that?"

"Give me your hand, and I’ll show you."

In the empty throne, where only the pair of them remained, she still took a moment to glance around before letting him take her hand.

"I am quite interested in what you’re going to show me!"

"Close your eyes."

"Hmph... okay~ closed, now what?"

He took her delicate palm with one hand, smirking at her with a devious expression. Then, with a swift movement, he tucked their hands inside his robes, slipping beneath his waist as he wrapped her hand around his cock.

"O-Oh... this feels a little familiar, what the hell is it? Nn... wait!"

"There, this is what I’ve found female Abyssals to be crazy about."

Serena opened her eyes, and with one glance, she suddenly bit his shoulder, before pulling back her pretty face bright red.

"You’re an idiot!"

"Why?"

"I thought it was something else... not that I can deny it..." Serena’s face distorted as she began to laugh uncontrollably at his simple logic.

All seemed fine until he asked. "Can you let go of it now...?"

"Heh, did you think an Abyssal would give up two meals in one day?!" She curled her eyes into crescent moons while slowly jostling inside his robes. "Next time, don’t flaunt your cock to a hungry milf."

"...Hey."

Although he wanted to refuse her words, she was, in fact, a sex starved milf.

However, to his surprise, she stopped teasing him the moment it became half erect, slipping her hand free as she stared into his eyes. "Don’t be so worried, I know we can’t do that now, let’s hurry and finish our business first, baby."

He swallowed his words, struggling to endure the stifling heat that burst through his loins the moment she began touching him.

"You..." Asmodeus shook his head before lunging at the playful fox. He quickly wrapped both arms around her back and squeezed her tightly. "Never mind, you’re right. I can’t believe how naughty you’ve become, Serena."

"Me?!"

She opened her eyes wide, pretending to be innocent.

"How could I be naughty~ I am but a mere slave to your blissful embrace."

"Tch, don’t make me bend you over that throne and spank you."

"Fufufu~ Oh my, are you really going to do that?"

Serena started to sway her hips against his while slowly raising the layers of her royal gown to reveal her plump, jiggling butt bouncing with each movement. "Don’t tempt me, baby, I don’t have anything to do but send the Valkyrie out... Fufu."

"Damn it!"

He shook his head, wanting to remain in this blissful embrace longer, but Serena was always right. Asmodeus needed to finish the arrangements and sign more documents to ensure nothing went wrong.

"You’ll pay for tempting me later, Girl!"

Pah!

He slapped both sides of her meaty rump.

The Empress, however, just leaned closer, her soft breath blowing against his cheeks as she breathed with deeper and heavier breaths.

"Then, I’ll look forward to your punishment, Dear Emperor."

Serena’s body slipped free of his grasp with a cheeky smile before a veil of translucent mist overlapped with her body, and she vanished on the spot.

He could barely contain the heat seething inside his lungs as she skipped along the red carpet while purposely flicking her waist from side to side.

’I lost.’

Asmodeus shook his head and closed his eyes.

He gathered the flickers of divine aura lingering between his cells, pushing them towards his ears, boosting his senses as he searched for Alan and Avandar.

’Hmmm, where the hell did they go?’

When searching using sound, the world lost all colour and became a flicker of shapes and patterns. Different sounds carried unique colours: deep thumping steps became blue, while Nyxielle’s fluttering taps were light purple.

That’s when he found the subtle traces of Alan’s raspy voice.

"Brother, did you see the smile on Vinea’s face?"

"Ah, I never thought my little girl would become so much like her mother..."

"Heh, cry if you want! But are you sure you don’t want to wait in the family meeting room? Asmodeus wouldn’t mind if you did."

There was a faint flicker of blue as Avandard stopped his steps. "No, although he is my son-in-law, I must not be too arrogant. He is the emperor who protects our continent, thus I will treat him with the same respect." He paused before turning away from Alan. "However, once we’ve signed the treaties and finished the work, then I’ll remove the role of King and become a simple grandfather here to see his cute grandchildren."

"Ah... you’re such an idiot. Ryuji wouldn’t care about those things... say you want to play with the kids and give them the gifts you brought."

Avandar just snorted back with. "Tsk... romanceless bastard!"

There was a slight tremble as his senses faded.

A moment later, Asmodeus retracted the tingling energies from his ears, shaking his head to regain a sense of balance.

"So that old man is still too strict, haha."

He observed the entire room in silence before taking a deep breath.

Then, like his wife, he vanished from the spot.

...

Vwoom!

Asmodeus teleported to the room he’d spent hours with Alice and Vinea before the meeting.

He glanced at the neat room, with no traces of their intense romp, the sticky stains, pools of juices, all of it gone, and the office became pristine with both women sitting writing silently together at the large L-shaped desk.

However, the moment he was about to speak, Vinea spoke with a slightly nervous tone.

"Auntie..."

"Hm? What’s wrong?"

"I..."

Vinea tapped the desk with her quill while biting her lower lip.

She hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding. "I’m sorry for being so harsh to you last night... somehow everything seemed to well up into a small sphere and exploded at once."

Alice flicked her wrist, signing an important document.

"Don’t be sorry, it was me that overstepped the line, but..." She leaned her head to the side as she gazed gently at her Niece. "Isn’t the issue our damn husband in the first place... if he could do that kind of thing with his cock, I wish I knew sooner."

"Aunt!?" Vinea blushed.

"What are you pretending to be innocent for? How many times did you squirt and squeal like a pig when tasting that monster of a cock?!"

"Y-Yeah, but we shouldn’t be so open about it... what if the other women find out and use it against us?"

Vinea appeared more mellow after having sex for the first time after a month; her anger and stress levels seemed to have dissipated like dust in a vacuumed room.

Alice, on the other hand, carried a strange aura of strength, her back straight and chin tucked in with perfect posture. Her skin was glossy and with a strange glow that almost reminded Asmodeus of the term ’afterglow’ more than anything.

"The solution is easy, we just team up and have them taste that cock? What woman in the harem could endure that thing... he can make his tails take that shape... didn’t you experience that monster in all three holes at once?"

"Ugh... don’t..." Vinea’s cheeks turned red as she finally looked away. "A-Ah... Asmodeus!?"

"Hm?" Alice didn’t seem surprised. She curled her lips upward and spoke in a sweet tone instead. "Husband~ have you come to rail me again?"

"Auntie!?"

However, Asmodeus waved his hand to deny Alice’s vulgar remarks. "Hahaha, sorry to disappoint, but I’ve just come to help you finish the work we missed last night."

"Oh?"

"Really?"

He slowly pulled both arms from behind him, bringing out a bottle of expensive wine and a box of premium mana-enriched chocolates from his item storage.

"Yeah, since I made your bodies like that, shouldn’t I take the time to make amends, here... I also brought some wine and chocolates from my special collection."

"Fufu~ are you sure you’re not trying to get me into your bed, honey?" Alice joked, while Vinea’s lips drooled at the chocolates.

Instead of avoiding the subject, he sat beside her, taking a large stack of documents, then leaned close to Alice and whispered.

"Babe, do you really want to do it while so swollen?"

Alice’s cheeks turned bright red as she peeked at him from the corner of her eyes, then she quickly shook her head. "Nn... maybe in a week."

He finally sighed with relief and gently stroked her glossy black hair. "Good girl, let’s get work done and have dinner together, okay?"

Like this, he started the first step to facing the empire.
