After everyone left the assembly room with depressed expressions, Alex stared at Solanar with a solemn expression.
"Demon Empress? Who is she? One of the wives of the Demon King?"Alex asked in surprise.
"No, she is her daughter, "Solanar replied.
"Daughter."
Alex's brows furrowed. After he defeated the Demon King, he didn't pay much attention to them and only asked them to surrender and he left everything to Catherine with the condition that we shouldn't push them too much or humiliate them which could fan another war after a few years.
"Doesn't he have a son? Or is she quite outstanding among them?"
"Your Majesty, The Demon King Angnes had countless illegitimate sons but all of them were suppressed by the children of the main wives. In the war, you killed three sons of the main wives when you went rampage. One of them was also the Crown Prince."
Alex's lips twitched. He had unknowingly killed the heir to the Throne.
"When did I kill him?"Alex blinked his eyes in confusion.
"Okay, tell me what she wants?"
"She wants you to greet her audience."
"Didn't Catherine take care of it before?"
Solanar shook his head and said, "The Demon Empress said that she wanted to discuss the plan personally with you, not with others as only you have the true say in this matter."
"Hmmm!"Alex rubbed wondering if this was a trap.
"Okay,I will meet her."
"Your Majesty, I suggest you be careful. I know you are invincible but there is something quite hard to guard against."Solanar spoke with a strange expression.
.........
'I see.'
Alex now understood what Solanar wanted to convey by giving him this warning.
Before him, sat a woman with an exquisite feature.
Nux Asmodeus.
A beautiful fair-skinned woman with long raven hair with blue cold icy eyes. She had sharp eyebrows with piercing gazes similar to Riya when she was about to hunt. She had a great physique with a height of 180 cm. Her black coloured clothes were quite a contrast to her fair white skin that sticks closely to her body showcasing be curved.
Her beauty doesn't lose to his wives and she and a charm of her own. Momentarily, Alex was taken by surprise and wondered if she had been blessed by some Goddess for her to be this enchanting.
Staring at those sharp eyes, Alex spoke coldly.
"I heard you want to discuss something with me."
"Yes!"She nodded.
"I wanted to ask Your Highness, about the plans you have for Demon Continents and Demon. Although the situation was handled quite well I wanted to hear a reply directly from your mouth."
"What do you think about demons and what do you want to do with the Demon continent? After all, we are losers and also caused great harm to the world. Just because you Kinley forgave us didn't mean the world would."Nux spoke.
"Hmph!"
'She is sharp and is much more qualified to be a leader than I am. I can see the image of Catherine in her.'
"You want to know my opinion about Demons, huh!'
"I think I will refrain because neither I have spent time with any Demons nor do I have any close demon friends so I don't know much about demons except what I have heard."
Nux blinked in confusion hearing Alex answer.
"As per the plans, we are just asking you to compensate us for the damage you have caused. As per others, you should deal with that on your own. I am The Emperor of Kinley, not of the world."
Alex's cold words reverberated in Nux's ears which indirectly meant that you need to take care of the mess you have caused with your hand.
Nux fell into deep thoughts for a moment.
"Your Highness, before speaking I wanted to tell you a certain thing about us. As rumours say we are greedy and give in to primal desire but aren't all others the same? As Emperor, you should know how you rose to this position. For power, people even trample over their brothers so why are we Demons discriminated against so much? I understand there is no justification for the war but isn't war also happening between the Empires so why are we defamed so much? The only mistake my father made was to accept the proposal of those otherworlds filth. He should have fought with his strength instead of borrowing other powers."
"Are you speaking in favour of your father?"Alex asked.
"No,I am not. In fact, I am happy you killed that man and cleared the filth who oppressed everyone in the name of making Demons rise. He treated women as things, defiling them as he wished. In his eyes, we women are breeders who will produce children that will supplement the military. We are nothing but toys in his hands. While the son's position rose and they were treated fairly, we women became a means."Nux eyes glowed with murderous intent.
Alex could feel the deep loathing and resentment erupting from deep inside her soul making him wonder what did that bastard do with her daughter.
"Is the woman's condition that worse? I remember seeing that succubus army?"
Nux gave a bitter smile.
"Succubus is the only exception. They are allowed to create a harem of men and even sent off the battlefield due to their skill. Moreover, what I am saying refers to the general condition of the Demon women. The stronger one would naturally not succumb to this fate. Still, Your Majesty in the war against Demons, can you remember seeing any woman Demons in the squad."
"I ha...huh!"
It was only now Alex realised that their army was filled with brutes.
"Let's forget the past. Tell me what do you want?''
Nux took a deep breath to calm herself and muttered.
"Your Majesty, I want to make a deal."
"You are wise and benevolent. I want you to lead the Demons to a new era where they can lead peacefully. In exchange for this, I Nux Asomodeus will submit myself to you and become your wife. If I marry into a human Empire only then can we create a bridge between demon and human to create a new era where both demons and humans live peacefully."
As soon as Alex heard the proposal, Alex's mind became blank as he felt something important was going to be destroyed.
