Chapter 425: A Scorned Brother-In-Law
The moment they entered Alan's study, his atmosphere changed, though Asmodeus knew he pissed Alan off. Alan could hide this emotion while maintaining a neutral façade, but it was obvious to the demon emperor that his best friend was furious.
'Well, I slept with his sister, and both nieces… and his trainer.'
Asmodeus couldn't help but chuckle as Alan glared at him. Though Asmodeus wondered if he could beat Alan in his current state, the fear, and sense of danger no longer existed.
In the past, when gazing at Alan, his skin tingled and an icy cold sweat covered his body.
Now, however… he was calm, and relaxed.
His lips rose in a smirk, and his eyes narrowed as his best friend asked: "Do you even understand why I'm upset?"
"Yes," he admitted quietly, "though I will also add, they were willing."
Alan chuckled with no sign of humour. His eyes were on fire.
"Uncle, please don't be like this." Asmodea pouted and sat beside Asmodeus hugging his arm and sandwiching it between her ample chest, her face beaming up at Alan.

"Don't you start," Alan snapped, still enraged but calming slightly as he stared into his niece's eyes. Asmodeus sighed with relief when Alan's gaze weakened. "Did you really choose this idiot, Liana?"
Liana's cheeks turned red as she nodded. Her voice quivered as she said: "He was kind to me in the beginning." She glanced towards her uncle, then lowered her eyes quickly. "Then over the journey, and time we spent together, I fell in love."
"Oh fuck…" Asmodeus muttered, realising that they all knew what occurred during those two months. The entire story. Which meant he was in a lot of trouble… 'This girl is acting! SHE'S ACTING!'
His spine trembled.
The girl who slipped into his bed, the most lustful and lovely woman that followed him, was acting like a coy, gentle cat. Even at this second, her tail slipped into his waistband, wrapping around his waist, while stroking his inner thigh!
"So, please uncle! Accept our relationship. I want to marry Asmodeus!"
'OH FUCK!' He gulped as Alan's stare promised violence, but before he could deny anything, Liana's face paled, and tears started to pool in the corners of her eyes.
'This girl… why is she being so strange?!' Asmodeus felt his spine turn cold… this girl was molesting him while acting like an innocent priestess, or maiden!
"Hehe~ you're enjoying my tail too much, darling." A small whisper, barely audible to the demon emperor. But it showed the insidious behaviour of King's daughter!
"Uncle? You don't think I'm good enough?" Liana began to cry silently. Tears ran down her rosy cheeks.
"N-No! That's not true, how can you not be good enough! It's this idiot, he's dirty, perverted, and rough. What if he hurts you?" Alan's eyes lost their fury instantly.
'Who is dirty, you old bastard!'
"I do-"
"Yes, I've been hurt by him many times~ sometimes he's too rough or careless, and I get pushed around, and he is very greedy, taking whatever he wants." Liana's voice trembled while her tail stroked Asmodeus' member, wrapping around his shaft like a true demon, her lips curled into a crescent shape.
However, because of her words, Alan snapped his renewed anger and fiery gaze at Asmodeus, who tried to use his robe to his the bulge in his crotch, an awkward sigh escaping his lips.
'I WAS JUST MINDING MY MANNERS HERE!'
Asmodeus wanted to complain, but even he didn't dare speak up while Liana turned into a different person in front of Alan.
'You're going to be punished later, Asmodea!'
A gentle whisper, transmitted so only she might hear, but the effect?
Nnn ♡ I cannot wait ♡♡♡
An obsessive glance, a glowing pink aura around her eyes as her tail started sliding faster, her arms gripping him between her chest becoming tighter.
"It's fine, Uncle," Liana said quickly. "I like that about Asmodeus. It makes me happy when I can help him release some frustration, even if it's with my body." She whispered softly, "and he can be kind." a faint, innocent smile formed on her lips.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she leaned on his shoulder, her actions causing critical damage to Alan, who covered his face with a palm.
"If anyone has wronged me, he protects me with all his strength; for example, when a man gazed at me erotically, and treated me like a prostitute, without asking, he saved me and taught him a lesson."
"This bastard saved someone?" Alan asked with disbelief, but he calmed as Asmodeus kept quiet.
Asmodeus didn't know what had happened to the real Asmodea, but this girl was incredible. With just a few words, Alan calmed down, and although his body shook, his gaze settled, and slowly he sat across from Asmodeus, seemingly calmer. That calm lasted barely a few seconds.
"Linea," Alan said, trying to remain composed. "I still think you should wait until marriage."
"Urp… S-Sorry uncle I feel a little nauseous, maybe we've made a crystal of love?" An excited voice echoed, while she faked feeling sick, causing Alan's face to alternate between thrilled and pale anger.
"My dear friend, Ryuji." Alan spoke slowly, in a low voice.
"What do you want?" He responded.
Unsure if Alan intended to kill him here and now, though knowing Alan, he'd rather die than miss the chance to fight someone stronger than himself.
"Take her back home, I have nothing further to say."
"Uncle!" Asmodea hugged his arm even tighter, tears spilling over her lashes.
Her eyes looked hopeful, causing Alan to falter again before a glare fell on the demon emperor, who stared into the ceiling without saying a word.
"Alan, I love your niece, please accept our relationship. I plan to marry her in the near future."
This time it was Asmodea's turn to be shocked.
Although she enjoyed playing with Alan, she would never truly put Asmodeus in a dangerous position, so when his words echoed through the room, her cheeks turned pink and her mouth opened wide.
"Fucking bastard. I am glad you finally said it!" Alan seemed angry at first until he jumped out of the chair towards them and bowed before his old friend. "Please, take care of her, she is a little rough around the edges, and likes to play tricks. But she's my precious little niece."
'He knew!'
Both Asmodeus and Asmodea stared in surprise. Both realising they had underestimated his ability to sense their lies. And Asmodea understood just how much he treasured her.
"Uncle, I apologise for lying."
"Don't be, next time… just make sure it isn't a lie." Alan winked, causing the young princess to gasp, before looking at Asmodeus and stroking her stomach.
"I will do my best!"
"Tsk, get out of here. I have something to speak with your husband about!"
"Hehe~ okay, see you later uncle!"
Asmodea skipped towards the door and exited, waving once more before turning away and leaving.
Slam!
"Did you really sleep with Liana?" The question caught Asmodeus off guard, causing him to answer the question honestly.
"I did." His lips pursed immediately, an uneasy laugh escaped his lips as he saw Alan's expression darken. But for the moment, Alan seemed preoccupied.
"What about Anne, Velvet and Alice?"
"I've slept with them all." Asmodeus rubbed the back of his head, realising how ridiculous it sounded now, for him to have slept with All the Grigorian royal women, and now their uncle and brother were asking.
"Sorry," he muttered.
Alan nodded, his voice steady: "Be warned, I won't let this slide if you make them cry for real! Promise me you will never abandon or leave them, and I will forget this issue."
"Huh? What's come over you?"
Alan sighed: "Ryuji, listen carefully because I have no intention of blaming you, I just don't want to see my precious family fall apart or become upset."
"Fine… I can agree to this." Asmodeus folded his arms before him, a proud smirk rising to his lips as Alan snorted, amused by his demeanour.
"You are crazy about them, don't act so cocky!"
"Shut it, you're the same with Akari! Damn little simp!"
"Oh, you're a bastard for calling me that!" Alan said.
"Bastard? Maybe you forgot who you're speaking too?"
"Oho, that young boy has become quite the cheeky man, do you think I can't beat you any more, is that it?" Alan's eyes shone, while Asmodeus also sensed the atmosphere, his skin tingling with delight.
They laughed, the stress forgotten. While Alan raised two glasses and poured whiskey.
"Come on, join me for a drink, brother!" Alan laughed.
"Now you're talking." Asmodeus stood up and walked towards Alan, grabbing the glass. For the first time since arriving here, Asmodeus noticed the slight wrinkles at the corner of his old friend's face.
The sharp and fiery taste of the whiskey, with notes of caramel and tobacco, burned his throat and awakened his senses.
"Thanks." He replied, placing the glass on a nearby table.
He relaxed.
"How strong are the enemy forces?" Asmodeus asked with an honest and focused face. He didn't notice because of the banter, but his old friend seemed to have aged ten years in a few months.
"Too strong, Ryuji…" Alan sipped his whiskey, closing his eyes tight as he sighed, slowly exhaling.
"Those abominations, have you met them…?"
"The huge, creatures of darkness, that drive everyone mad and speak madness?" Asmodeus asked.
Upon hearing the response, Alan's hands trembled, his eyes snapped open with a dull black mist covering his pupils for a moment, before it vanished.
"Yes, those disgusting things…"
"They are like devils, but not quite; I think there's more too. But even if you defeat one, their voice, that woman's voice, lingers in your mind!"
"And if they possess you." Alan added.
"They whisper sweet words in your sleep. Try to have you to destroy everything you hold dear, your entire city will burn in flame, and you'll dance around its embers. If that voice breaks your mind."
Asmodeus knew the danger of those strange abominations, and wanted to comfort Alan, but the world had other plans.
Shudder!
A low groan sounded as the castle shook.
"There's never a quiet moment around you… Ryuji, shall we go?"
"Anytime, Alan. I'll show you how strong I've become."
