Currently, Exedra and his wives were staring blankly at their two guests.
Since he wasn't sure exactly how long his mother would take to convince her father, he'd led all of the women down towards a small reception room.
He and his wives were sitting on one couch, while Seras and Tiamat were sitting on the one opposite them.
After a long period of silence, Seras finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to address the elephant in the room.
"I'm sorry but…What is she doing here?!" She cried.
She was of course referring to Audrina who had claimed the coveted spot that was Exedra's lap.
Even though she was not currently shapeshifted into a cat, that did not stop her from purring like one as she rubbed her face on his body.
While his other wives were of course extremely jealous, they had learned to be understanding when it came to sharing him. Plus they also felt bad for Audrina. Tonight was supposed to be her consummation night, yet it was continually interrupted by various unwanted guests.
They could allow her to be selfish for one night.
"Hm? She is my wife. Where else would she be?" Exedra said like it was obvious.
Audrina smiled madly and showed off her pearly white fangs. 'He said it again! He really said it!'
"The Demigoddess of the Blood Moon… is your wife?…" Seras was having a hard time coming to terms with this.
Tiamat was equally surprised, though she did not show it.
"You..do not mind submitting to someone so much weaker than you?" She suddenly asked.
Marriage, like everything else in Dola was typically a show of power rather than love.
If a woman is stronger than the man, the man becomes subservient to her and cannot wed anyone else while she is still free to add to her harem.
The same also applies in reverse.
For someone of Audrina's power and authority to join Exedra's family instead of forcing him into hers, was almost inconceivable.
This sort of thing hadn't happened in a few hundred years at least.
The vampire suddenly looked up from her place in her husband's chest and spoke as if she had already considered this.
"Honestly, if it were anyone other than he I probably would not even consider such conditions but.."
She turned towards Exedra and stared at him with violet eyes that were brimming with passion. "I find myself utterly captivated by you and your family thus, I am unable to leave your side."
Her words touched not only he, but all of his wives.
Lisa : "It's your family too now."
Lailah :"That's right!
Bekka : "We're glad you joined us.. you've done a lot to help us already."
Valerie : "The kids love you too you know?"
Seeing such a sappy display, the two guests felt like they'd been forced to eat dog food. 'I wonder if mother knows about this..' Seras thought.
"Alright enough!" Seras yelled.
"What happened to you? Why do you suddenly look like something out of a wet dream?! And how did you become a demon lord?!"
'Wet dream? That's a new one.' Exedra chuckled inwardly.
"Growth spurt I suppose."
"Bullshit!" Seras slapped her hands on the table between them and it immediately turned into splinters. "And what's this I'm hearing about a spatial affinity? You didn't have that before!"
"Didn't I?" Exedra smirked.
That small provocation caused Seras' sanity to snap and she began to release a bloody pressure. "You fucker.. are you trying to imply that you felt like my training was so insignificant that you could hold back?!"
Audrina protected the girls and her husband from the irate dragon's aura with her own but there was honestly no need.
After witnessing Lucifer's aura of true despair, Exedra had grown numb to mental attacks from others.
And his wives still had Helios' hellish pressure fresh in their minds so Seras' was quite bearable.
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ "After all of the lectures you gave me about being ruled by emotions, it turns out you were no different, huh?" Exedra paid his teacher no mind and simply went back to rubbing Audrina's hair with his eye's closed.
Seras growled at her student before realizing that he was indeed correct. She sank back into her seat and gave him an annoyed look. "So.. you won't tell me where you found it, huh?"
She was absolutely certain her student had somehow found an affinity stone.
How else was he able to suddenly come into possession of a new and rare power?
"I have no idea what you're talking about, my dear teacher." Exedra said calmly.
His wives all suppressed small smiles. They knew full well that even if he told the loli dragon lord how he obtained his powers, she would simply accuse him of lying.
While Seras had given up, Tiamat on the other hand was becoming more and more intrigued.
People with spacial affinities were very rare and spatial affinity stones are as rare as true god grade treasures.
Surely if she clung to this handsome man in front of her, she would be able to siphon some of his luck? A dragon is very greedy after all.
"Little prince~" She cooed.
Exedra opened his eyes to stare at the woman in front of him with a mildly annoyed look.
"Might you be interested in getting to know each other better?" She asked seductively as she leaned forward to expose her ample bosom.
Each of his wives suddenly tensed up and put on dissatisfied expressions.
"Not at all." Exedra dismissed.
"Oh? Don't be like that-"
"I'm not fond of flowers with thorns."
Those words made Tiamat's gaze become cold.
She was adept at tricking men and she hadn't failed in her pursuit of one yet, but now this young dragon in front of her was completely uninterested?
Was the sky still blue?
What was happening?
Seeing their husband reject the woman's advances on his own, his wives felt incredibly special and warm inside.
They knew that their husband was divinely attractive, yet he never seemed to lose himself in his more carnal desires unless it was with them.
It was an aspect of him that they all appreciated.
Who wants to be with someone who gives their attention to everyone?
'Ha! Serves you right you scaly whore!' Even Seras was enjoying Tiamat's blatant rejection.
"So my apprentice, can you at least tell me how you ended up a demon lord?"
Exedra decided there was really no harm in telling his master bits and pieces of his story as he'd been doing so he obliged.
-
After Exedra finished telling an incomplete summary of events, the group suddenly heard approaching footsteps and were surprised to see Helios enter the room.
Without Yara.
"My daughter will not be returning with us." He informed his two lords who in turn tried to control their shock.
They would've never expected that their king would actually back down from someone, much less one of his children.
Today was becoming more and more unbelievable by the minute.
Helios approached the couch to sit down and Seras and Tiamat stood up and waited on either side of him.
"So… my grandson is a demon lord." He muttered as he analyzed Exedra.
"Are you attached to it?" He suddenly asked.
Exedra thought about his answer for a moment.
Being a demon lord did have it's perks after all. He had a legion of rare and powerful demons under his command and he was also able to make a beautiful home for him and his family.
Even when he was living at the palace, he wasn't as happy as he was now.
"I am." He said firmly.
Helios nodded and closed his eyes. "That makes things simple then."
He suddenly opened his golden eyes and said in an authoritative voice full of dominance,
"Exedra Draven. You are hereby expelled from the royal family of Antares. "
