"Anne..." Asmodeus stood over her bed, his body completely bare. He didn't do this out of erotic reasons or because he wanted to sleep with her. Rather, it was due to how he turned her into a half-demon.
Because he used blood instead of saliva or semen, it was too strong for her human body to fuse with completely. So now his immense power was stopping her from recovering both her body and mind after overusing her divine power given by Lumina. "I will make sure to heal you. If you wish, I will take responsibility afterwards."
"Nn...."
His sincere words almost seemed to reach her as her lovely body twisted and turned to face him, the quilt slipping from her body to reveal one of the most dangerous bodies he'd ever seen.
"Ugh... this isn't growing because I am having bad thoughts, trust me, Anne."
Asmodeus couldn't help that his lust was now honest, and he didn't see a reason to hold back.
However, because of this being treatment and needing to have skin-to-skin contact, it felt a little wrong to have a full erection when doing so...
'Well, it cannot be helped if we are to compare bodies. She is second only to Perfect Sariel1.
The task he needed to perform now wasn't easy.
Several days had already passed, and his blood had already started to devour her body and organs.
His hands slipped over her smooth body, the warm yet slightly damp sensation not only pleasant to touch but ignited his male instincts further, causing his breathing to increase.
'Is it because of her divine energy or my hidden feelings of wanting to devour her and make her mine? I am not sure, but her transformation will be permanent. Unlike the other, she won't be able to return human.'
He could feel where the blood he made her drink lingered, close to her heart, lungs and stomach. The amount was so great because he was heavily wounded from her attack.
Asmodeus gave a bitter smile while climbing onto the bed, pressing his chest against hers as she wrapped her arms around his back by instinct. However, this meant their entire bodies began to press together, causing both the blood within her to act faster and his manhood to press and rub against her most delicate parts.
'Forgive me, the most valiant knight I have ever fought... But this demon king will now dye you in his colour and corrupt your existence.'
"Anne, I am going to start."
"Mmh..." Her soft lips opened as she released a groan, the weak and rotting wings on her back a sign of her body rejecting his power before he found her.
Asmodeus grasped her back and held her against his chest, unwilling to let her suffer.
Ba-Dump
Ba-Dump
The throbbing of her heart grew stronger while Asmodeus forced his magic into her body; although skin-to-skin was effective, it would be faster to kiss her or perform sexual activities.
However, despite being a demon, Asmodeus is quite stubborn, and he only transformed her before as a last-minute plan. They didn't develop a relationship like he and Liana, and he wouldn't force it like Alice and her contract.
'Yet when we fought... I cannot deny the selfish and greedy desire in my heart to make you mine, even if you resisted.'
His magic collected a large amount of blood and started flooding her heart with the mana-rich fluid, its high amounts causing her heart to slowly crystalise, becoming a black and red gemstone that pumped a new type of blood through her veins.
Even in her coma, the first moment this change happened, her lips opened, drool spreading bridges between her lips as she moaned, scrunching her face as her skin turned pale and her body trembled in Asmodeus's arms.
"Anne... I want to make you mine—no matter what, I will treasure you. If I do, will you be angry?"
The pure demonic blood filled with a true demon king's magic and mana swirled through her body, surging and replacing most of the human blood in Anne's body. Her grip on his back and neck became stronger, her nails becoming sharp, like claws and sinking into his flesh.
In reality, Asmodeus didn't know what would happen, only that she would die if he didn't do this. Despite knowing it might be stepping on her heart as a knight and human.
"Ah! No matter what, my true desire is for the women who choose to take my hand and the path with me to be happy. Even if I have to work five or six times harder than a normal male."
"Your life will change a lot, and it won't always be pleasant, but I will try to make it a path filled with joy, passion and love. So please believe me when I say that I will try my absolute best to make sure you live a happy and fulfilling life."
"Idiot... I fell for you the moment I saw you fighting..." She admitted, the memory of their first meeting being one of the few things she recalled the clearest while in the void. Then, when she clashed with him, the thoughts and dreams she had while waiting to fight him, making sure he got stronger using her uncle and father, changing the tournament draw so he could grow faster.
"I don't think I could bear to be apart from you either. The idea of being separated... after you've held me like this, my body knows you now... Asmodeus, the last thing I remember is you facing me head-on... accepting my blade... and that kiss." Her voice became so quiet that it almost felt like a dream.
"Do not worry, I will fulfil your wish."
Asmodeus smiled, the honesty in his voice and the lack of any lust or hidden thoughts causing Anne's heart to skip a beat. She could feel his emotions along with the raging beat of his heart before something began to grow within her... the small crystal finally formed, and like Asmodeus, her heart transformed into the same crystal that he had.
Her beautiful eyes were black, with one golden and one silver eye, while she blinked, looking at him. Asmodeus smiled gently back, "You are the closest existence to me; you could even be called my only Demon Queen..."
"Nn!" Her pupils began to shine with a radiant light, her pale cheeks now coloured red as she closed his mouth with her lips. It wasn't a lewd or erotic kiss but a passionate and affectionate peck.
"Mmm..."
The two embraced, both enjoying the gentle kiss and the warmth that spread through their bodies.
"Thank you... I am happy, Asmodeus."
"Haha, I'm glad, Anne."
She rolled in his arms and looked up like a cute puppy. "May I have a new name, just like when you accepted your role and faced me, I wish to be the same... You sacrificed Ryuji to face me and bring peace to Grigor, even for a short time. Then, as it's princess, for you, I will sacrifice Anne."
"...."
"How far will you go to steal my heart and leave me no choice but to take you as mine, Anne Grigor?"
"Very far, I will always chase after you until I get what I want. So, come and catch me, my beloved demon king." She teased.
"Such a stubborn girl..."
Asmodeus rolled his eyes at her.
"When you beat me, maybe you can talk big—for now, let's treat our relationship as if we are engaged royals. Until you defeat me, and we know each other better. I am not going to devour you, Vinea of Wrath."

[Growth and transformation will be altered]
"For now, just close your eyes and focus on getting better. My barrier will stop anyone from discovering you. Rest well, and meet me in seven days."
"I will wait."
Asmodeus released her body, and as if it were fate, her hands reached out and grabbed him, pulling him back into her embrace.
"Now that I've found a way to stop you from running away, you can't escape." Vinea then kissed Asmodeus again, forcing her tongue into his mouth before he could retaliate.
The two continued to kiss and hug each other, with their bodies entangled. Until the black vines which would form her cocoon would soon envelop her completely.
Asmodeus was pushed back as a golden and silver cocoon enveloped her body, the cocoon absorbing almost all of his magic before it let him go.
When he looked at her face using his demon lord's eyes, he felt surprised.
