Asmodeus didn't trust Baberu from the start.
However, thanks to meeting Alan, Avandar, Paul and Simon not to mention those that once hated him yet eventually became his allies.
He gave him a chance. Now while the others were busy preparing to leave, Asura remained with Yuina in her private chambers as she finished her daily duties.
"Do you always have so much paperwork?" He asked while lounging on her soft sofa with an arched back.
"Mm."
Yuina wore a small pair of glasses while writing on parchment with skilful movements. Her quill fluttered in the air while she occasionally peeked at Asmodeus.
After the Fenrir knights and prince swore to follow Asmodeus, Yuina needed to write several letters to inform people of what happened. Of course, she twisted the events and made her fiancé seem less forceful to avoid issues in the future.
'Though it's only a false engagement, why is it hard to remove my gaze from his body?'
"Hey~ do you not feel bored? How about you come here, and I'll feed you some peaches."
She knew he was here to give her support. Yuina realised she felt overworked only after he began to visit her like this each day; sometimes, she found herself sleeping in her bed. Yet swore she was at her desk earlier.
'Yet this demon, he would always finish the work he so loathed. So I could rest and wake up to enjoy breakfast with him and my sister instead of a desk full of paperwork.'
Yuina closed her eyes, pondering how to answer him.
In truth, she felt scared of the day this sweet act ended, and she returned to her mundane life as the princess.
However, once she took the throne as empress, it would become ten times worse. Yet he would no longer be there to do these things for her.
She was always a serious sibling, the responsible one who acted maturely for the sake of her country and family. Asmodeus made her feel like she didn't have to be. That she could just be Yuina, even if it were for a moment. His existence allowed her to breathe and rest, and that's why Yuina began falling in love with him.
'Not his looks or power. Those are amazing features he holds, but this time, right now. A calm and quiet time where even the most troublesome issues of diplomacy couldn't bring her mood down.'
He made her realise she wasn't a perfect doll born to be the princess and that she could be herself without fear of judgment.
Thus, she stopped holding back when it came to him. A strange flash appeared in her beautiful eyes, something similar to Yumiko when she desired him and couldn't hold it back.
"Come feed me while I work. Mouth-to-mouth would be nice~ brother-in-law~ hehe."
Yuina blushed at her words, and her voice was barely above a whisper, yet he heard it loud and clear. He couldn't believe what she was requesting. It was something he never expected from this childish and innocent woman. A shock so great that even he couldn't believe this girl was Yuina.
Asmodeus remained still for a moment—his hand extended to grab the plate of silky peaches in golden syrup.
'Ah~ it's the first time I saw Brother-in-law look so dazed. How adorable is his face? I want to see this look more...'
Yuina thought, biting the tip of her quill. However, she couldn't help herself. Yuina was a member of the fox beastkin race and a maiden in love.
To them, flirting with a spouse was natural and nothing shameful, and Asmodeus was an incredibly handsome man who could make any woman fall in love.
Yuina fell back into her chair, all the peaches consumed before she realised. Yet, so excited, her body shook with a rosy blush on her cheeks.
'What's happening to my body?'
"Hmmm... this is delicious. Do you know that you taste very sweet?" Asmodeus's voice seemed to echo in her head, making her ears twitch and her face become bright red.
After all, she couldn't beat this lustful brother-in-law!
"Ah..."
Her eyes were unfocused, but she felt relieved when he suddenly lifted her body in his arms. Like a princess, she leaned against him, letting her tired limbs dangle on the way to her private room.
"You worked hard today—good job, Yuina. I hope you enjoyed your reward."
She heard his voice in the haze that was on her mind and nodded before passing out on her bed.
Asmodeus sighed, realising that Yuina was different from the other girls at his side. She was pure and lovely like a Lilly. He didn't want to become defiled or dirty.
'Yet because she was so pure, his heart desired to stain her in his colours.'
"Sleep well, my lovely little sister-in-law."
Asmodeus left the room, leaving the sleeping beauty alone on her bed. He didn't take it any further after tucking her in. Yet because Yuina ignited his lust, he headed straight to Yumiko's bedroom, the sound of her and Erika laughing together like a dinner bell in his ears.
"Yumiko, Erika, I'm coming in..."
"Asmodeus~ I missed you!"
"Asmo, please come inside."
Asmodeus coming to them didn't shock either girl as they were waiting for him. Yumiko sat at the edge of the bed, greeting him first, able to notice the glossy gleam from his lips. "Oh? Who did you visit last?"
She narrowed her eyes and lifted her sharp and lovely nose, sniffing him before Yumiko's eyes widened. "My sister?!"
For a moment, she seemed jealous, so Asmodeus stepped forward and hugged her soft body, his hands holding her tight. "She wanted to eat some peaches, that's all."
"Fufu~ so peaches means you need to suck on her mouth? Your lips are covered in her scent and saliva, damn bastard."
"I am but an innocent man."
"Hmph! Erika, help me punish this bastard. We'll kiss him to death!"
"Kiss him to death?"
Erika tilted her head, confused, but giggled as she moved closer to the pair. Their acts would often be together since they arrived in the Inukami village.
"Enough of your nonsense. Come at me, both of you!"
"As you wish, my King." They both looked like hungry wolves before pouncing on him.
