Chapter 98 Departure

Exedra and Audrina watched as the group shed tears over the revelation that their lord was still alive.

Belphegor had told them everything and the disbelief had yet to leave their systems.

Once they'd heard that he'd spent years in forced servitude, their surprise quickly shifted to rage and then shame.

How could they not protect their lord from such a terrible fate?

Were they even still fit to call themselves his sword and shield?

As soon as Asmodeus awoke from his slumber they would prostrate at his feet and beg for forgiveness.

Exedra didn't feel it was his time to speak he'd only come here to confirm something.

His father was currently in a coma due to the damage Exedra inadvertently caused when he took the sin of lust.

Unlike physical wounds, wounds to the soul are much more painful and more often than not require the body entering into a coma to heal.

Time taken could vary from anywhere between a few weeks to a few months.

'Despite that… I was hoping he'd be an exception.'

Exedra turned around to leave but not before leaving behind parting words. "I'll be leaving him in your care. I'll return for him when it's time to reunite him with my mother."

Lusamine wiped her tears and looked at Exedra's departing back. "W-where are you going?"

Exedra did not answer immediately and instead smiled at a message only he could see.

"I'm going to get my home back." He smiled and left the room.

Leaving behind three individuals who had started to become uneasy.

-

"Good to see you girls are up."

Exedra's next stop was to go find his wives who coincidentally had just awoken.

Lisa, Lailah, Bekka and Valerie were all just getting out of bed and about to go looking for Exedra when he instead came in to grab them.

"I'm sorry girls.. truly."

The dragon looked quite sympathetic as he bowed his head to his wives while holding a sleeping child and a small cat.

Upon seeing them again, his guilt exploded and he could barely look them in the eye.

Especially Valerie.

She had yet to meet his gaze since he'd entered and was quivering slightly.

"Hm? What are you apologizing for?" Lailah tilted her head in confusion.

"Well I.." Only Exedra's wives could put him at a loss for words.

Lisa ran up to him and pulled him in for a hug. "Did you think we would be upset we had to help you?"

The demon gave no words and only nodded.

Lailah approached the two with a cheeky smile. "Did you think you were forcing us husband? We chose to submit to you of our own volition."

Bekka chose this moment to seductively walk forward with her tail swaying back and forth. "We wouldn't mind submitting to you again if you need us to prove it~."

Exedra chuckled slightly before gesturing to their sleeping daughter.

It was then that all of his wives noticed how tightly Mira was holding on to her father in her sleep.

Exedra couldn't put her down even if he wanted to.

'Maybe we shouldn't have been gone for so long.' All three of his wives shared the same thought as they stared at the father daughter pair.

Suddenly the sound of footsteps was heard and everyone looked back to see Valerie walking forward with a face flushed red.

"Y-you… you have to take responsibility for doing something like that to m-me!"

Valerie was embarrassed just to hear those words come out of her own mouth but she had no choice.

As someone who'd had her fair share of one night stands, Valerie thought she was used to pleasure and would never submit to any man.

But from the moment she met Exedra her tough and fiery outer shell fell apart completely and disappeared without a trace.

She didn't understand what was happening to her and she believed that if she just avoided him as much as possible, she could calm down and return to normal.

But during those ten days she was locked inside of a room with Exedra, he ingrained himself into her body so thoroughly that she knew she could never go back.

Just the mere thought of being touched by another man was enough to make her sick.

It had to be him and absolutely no one else.

"What are you saying?" This was not at all how Exedra thought this was going to go.

Valerie took several deep breaths before she looked into Exedra's eyes with a new intensity.

"I can't cook." She warned.

"I do not expect you to?"

"I have a slight temper."

"I've noticed."

"I also have a drinking problem." She continued.

"What dwarf doesn't?"

"Mira also might learn some bad words from me."

"She already has."

"And I'll never be a polite little noble lady or all feminine like I should be."

"Valerie-" Exedra began.

"Despite that.. I want to be a good wife to you." She offered him a shy smile that he found incredibly captivating.

"I don't need you to be anything but yourself." Exedra bent down and kissed her warmly on the lips.

"It took her long enough." Lisa murmured.

"Why was sex the thing to help her make up her mind?" Lailah asked.

"You fucked him too, you know exactly why." Bekka pointed out.

'This bitch totally cut the line! I was here first!!' Audrina meowed and made known her furry displeasure but Exedra paid her no mind and simply stroked her fur so she'd calm down.

'I'm blessed with such interesting women.'

-

Currently, Exedra and his group were leaving Belphegor's castle and preparing to head west where his mission was located.

Along the way, he'd told his wives that he was now effectively the seventh sin and a king to demonkind and as such, they likely would not be returning to Antares anytime soon.

They'd also been informed that the city they were going to wipe out was to be their new home so they had to cause as little damage as possible in the battle.

"I married… a king.." Valerie was walking hand in hand with Exedra and the shock from his news was having a very noticeable effect.

"Daddy is a king!"

"Does that make us queens?" Lisa asked curiously.

"I don't think I like that idea." Bekka responded.

"You don't have to wear fancy clothes or anything like that." Lailah reassured.

"Oh? Ok then I'm fine with it." Bekka nodded.

Exedra summoned four large abyss hounds and was slightly surprised they seemed to be bigger than before.

'Is it the second blessing? Or something else entirely?'

Two people each climbed up on a hound and they were easily able to sit up their comfortably and the hounds didn't seem to feel the weight at all.

Since Valerie was the newest and spent the least amount of time with Exedra she was allowed to ride with him but Bekka and Lailah didn't look too happy about it.

They each shot her jealous middle fingers to which she promptly returned before an idea bubbled up in her mind and she began to grope Exedra's entire body.

"You have to remember Mira's here so we can't make any pit stops. Can you afford the consequences of teasing me when we're finally alone?"

Just the sound of him whispering in her ear was enough to send shivers throughout her body and she meekly nodded but did not stop.

After ten days of nonstop sex one would think his wives would be satisfied for a while but they would be sorely mistaken.

The urge to fall into that pleasurable hell their husband had shown them was still present and ever growing.

Exedra gave a mental command and one by one all the hounds took off towards the destination that would be their home.

Once all of the mice were exterminated of course.
