97 Demon Clan Arrives

Overwhelming amounts of chatter was filling the hall's but when the young Demon Princess spoke those words every one stopped and just stared at her.

When they first arrived they were being stared at like fresh meat thrown to a starving animal, but now everyone had a hint of hostility as they gazed at the group of young Demons.

"See this is what I meant you speak to much, it's a wonder how you managed to not lose both your horns." Tezrian said this as she looked at 'her Princess' with bitterness in her eyes.

Hearing Tezrian's response made the red on her face light up becoming brighter as the two girls stared at each other with hate filled eyes.

Erida then moved forward away from the group she arrived with and headed straight for a servant girl, everyone watched as the Demon made her way towards the servant girl expecting another incident to happen.

"Hey! Servant lead me towards the throne room I wish to seek out the Dragon Emperor."

She said bringing out a pitch black medal with a dragon engraved on both sides of the coin.

Both the servant girl and everyone of the Elders watching were beyond shocked after seeing this, the medal she has is given to those who hold absolute power inside the Empire and they are mostly held by the children and wives of the Emperor. Along with a few trusted Generals and extremely powerful Elders within the Dragon Empire.

"Yes! I will bring you to meet with the Emperor right away! This way just follow me."

The servant girl said as she recovered from her shock, she had just arrived inside the hall to meet up with those being sent here by Elder Elwin but did not think it would be this hot headed girl an the youths following behind her.

A short while after the group left with the servant girl many turned over to an Elder that was laughing. He seemed to know something they did not, yet kept it to himself.

"Don't look at me like that how could none of you have noticed, Natasha was that servant girl that just lead them to the throne room. She waited till the Demons appeared and we were distracted before entering the hall, this means she was sent to receive the Demon Empress but has now met with a Princess instead."

HAAHAHA the man laughed before turning and rushing after the group not wanting to miss the drama that was about to happen. Everyone else quickly digested the information the man gave and then they too rushed after the group wanting to see how things would go down.

....

Tezrian followed behind Princess Erida hoping she would not do something she would regret, worst of all that their Race would regret.

Most of the other Races feared Demons and would hunt them even if it was just a young child or and elder on the verge of death. She did not understand why the Humans and Beast here only had a look of interest on their faces, that was until Erida spoke ill of these peoples leader only then did they have looks of hostility and it was only momentary anger.

As the group walked through the various halls making their way towards the throne room they were shocked at what they were seeing.

Every so often they would run into a group of children running around the halls being chased by guards and groups of worried maids. These children even tried to use them as a shield until the servant girl leading them smacked the child in the lead and gave a cold stare to the rest.

No matter what they knew this was not 'just a servant girl' this might also be the reason their Princess choose her to lead them.

Scholars, Soldiers, Smiths, Pill refiners, and Doctors were everywhere inside the Palace meant for the royal family, they even saw a school filled with children who were orphaned.

"So your Empire trains orphans into soldiers from young Miss Palace girl?" Said Eride with a mocking smile on her face.

"Yes. Most of them will become soldiers for the Dragon Empires armies, it's a sought after job after all. Those who serve in our military are those who rule our Empire." She replied not turning her head back.

Just when Eride was about to question her again, trying to figure out who this servant girl was, who could put her hands on the children of the Royal Family. She was interrupted by the aura that the two guards at the massive black gates before her gave off, inside this entire Palace she did not feel that anyone would be at her our her groups level yet both these guards were beyond powerful.

One was a man that looked like a water serpent given human form, his skin was pale blue and his eyes a deep shade of blue. Dark blue/green scales wrap around his body like armor as his body gave off a strong scent of fresh ocean water.

The other guard was and elderly sage, she held in her hands a wooden staff that she used to keep herself standing straight mimicking the man beside her. The eyes of this Elder were golden in the center with a pale blue ring circling the gold.

As she noticed the group arrive before her she shot her gaze at the young group of female demons before poking the middle aged man with her staff.

"Open the gates on your own I am too old to help, these young people wish to meet the little sna- they wish to meet the Emperor." She nodded her head as she corrected herself.

Following the command of the elderly woman he shakes his head and takes both handles into his hands before pushing the massive throne gates open.

While the throne doors were being opened Tezrian walked to the side of Eride and whispered into her ear before backing up and waiting to meet the Emperor.

....

Moving side to side as if uncomfortable in the throne I try my best to sit down and wait for the guest to arrive, as a promise to my wives I have started to use my future sight less and less but at times it activates on its own.

This is one of those times, I already know a trouble maker will soon walk in through those doors challenging me to a fight. And just as I was thinking about the prizes that was about to deliver themselves to me the doors to the throne room are pushed open by Leviathan in a humanoid form.

Following behind Leviathan as he leads the group of Demons into the throne room is one of my abilities given physical form. She much like Elder Ibrahim and Morrigan, she remained by my side after I was given a new form.

The blue in her eyes grew thicker as she walked into the room and gazed at me, she then teleported next to my side taking a seat on the arm of the throne.

No one said anything to her after her actions which caused the Demons to reveal shocked expressions on each of their faces.

"Hurry up young ones I let you in, now speak your mind to my God and Creator! He has rushed here from the South just to meet with you, he even brought me here as I was training that Lazy Serpent."

She said not even looking at the group of Demons, she said all this while facing me.

Before she could continue her fake act I picked up her elderly body and tossed her towards Valara. Her body made a sloshing sound as she flew through the air and landed in the arms of Valara shocking the people in the room.

Staring at the young female Demon before me, within her eyes burn a fire of unyielding.

"I am Princess Eride of the Demon Clan, I Challenge you 'Dragon' to a duel. My mother and the other Elders believe you to be the savior of our Race, I doubt that someone only within the Void Realm can aid our people so I have come to test your strength." Eride then took out a sword that was black with red runes etched all over the blade as if soaked in blood.

I accept your challenge Princess! But what do I gain by bullying and pushing you around? I heard you were one of the few who turned down my request for marriage even disobeying your mother."

I said already knowing her response, guiding her onto the path I want her and Tezrian to walk.

These two are secret lovers that hid their relationship by pretending to be hated rivals, that compete for the position of heir to the Demon Clan throne.

And as expected the flare in her eyes deepened as she threw off her cloak revealing her full battle attire.

"If you can even land a blow on me playboy, I will give this body to you in marriage but you will never have my heart!

I have information about you always letting your women do all work and fighting all of your wars never lifting a finger, If I win I will become the new Emperor and take these wives of yours as my own!

In the Demon Clan power is what rules all and among those in the Void Realm no one is my match even my mother can only fight me to a draw. Now come let's see what you can do!"
