Chapter 636 Family and Friends
"Announcing Her Highness, Queen Victoria, the Thotslayer of Bolton." The Herald announced again, and Wolfe almost choked trying not to laugh.
The young King smiled as he leaned over to whisper to Wolfe. "She killed three hundred challengers and harem members to become the uncontested Queen of her nation. The title was made official by her bitter husband, who had lost all his other women, and after she killed him and took the throne, the name stuck." The boy whispered.noVe)LB-1n
Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth were smiling at each other in a way that suggested they were childhood friends and shared an innumerable number of inside jokes and secrets.
"It is good to see you well again, Liz. I knew that you wouldn't stay dead, you're far too stubborn for that." The Queen laughed.
Victoria turned to the King of Sodom with a smirk. "Memo, old man, how have things been? I hear you're having wife troubles."
The massive King laughed and shook his head. "Nothing that I can't handle. My wife is pregnant again with our thirty-second, and you know how she gets when she's pregnant."
The other nobles in the room shook their heads at his announcement. Even for a long-lived species like Demons at his power level, over thirty children was unheard of without an extensive harem and good luck. Most only managed a few heirs in their lifetime.
"Oh, I know very well. I will have to stop in and visit her after this. But who else is coming? I know we all felt it, even if we were sleeping, so the rest of the crew should be along soon enough." Victoria asked.
Her question was answered by the Herald clearing his throat, and then a booming voice.
"Oh, shut up already, she knows who we are and that we're here." The man announced as he marched into the throne room with a dozen other nobly dressed Demons behind him.
"We all came to the town square portal point and stopped for a quick chat before coming in. Good to see the whole gang back together again, but what's the plan, Liz? It looks like the Crown never gave up on you." The new arrival announced.
The Royals burst into laughter as the King of Nephrite grumbled.
"I should be tearing you apart, but she's already recovering. Maybe I should demand that you take responsibility instead." He suggested.
Minister William and the Chief Investigator both caught their burst of laughter a bit too late at that comment, and the immensely powerful Demon turned his attention to them.
"Did I perhaps say something funny?" He asked.
Prince John's voice rose from the shadows at the back of the room. "Father, there is no need to get all worked up. The reason they laughed is that the Magi wouldn't say no. He's already got a pair of Witches as Consorts, according to our investigation, and he certainly wouldn't turn down a Demon Princess with potential as high as hers."
"Witches? Is this some strange reparations program?" One of the other Kings asked.
Wolfe shook his head. "Not at all. They're just soft and they smell good."
The room was stunned into silence for a few seconds before the boy King began to giggle. "I have a maid like that. She smells incredible, and every morning it's difficult to let her get back to work."
The boy's innocent take on the situation broke the tension, and the Monarchs all smirked at each other.
"Perhaps we can work something out after all, Patriarch Noxus. When we are finished here, we will invite you to our Kingdoms on the standardized ranking schedule, based on when they were established." The King of Sodom insisted.
That would, naturally, put him very close to the front of the line. Much closer than going by how long the current Monarch had been reigning.
