Asmodeus and Velvet walked arm in arm, their faces full of smiles after teasing each other, and they decided to meet the other wives awaiting him. He glanced back, to the sleeping children one last time, before entering the main palace.
Unlike the Imperial Palace, this one was built for the children. Thus, many of the rooms contained toys, educational games or classrooms where various maids and demon knights would help with education.
They walked down a long hallway, directly past the entrance and up the curved stairwell.
"Are you excited?" Velvet asked, squeezing his palm.
"Of course, it's been a while since I met some of them."
"Hmph! Fool... what about me?"
"It's always great to see my Velvet."
On the way to the grand hall, they passed a red-haired woman, her eyes sharp like a beast's. Despite being short, she remained imposing to look at.
'Hm?'
Velvet dragged his hand faster as if avoiding the woman.
"Velvet, who was that?"
