151 Chapter 151: Low Level Demons

Reed called a big meeting in his domain because the low-level demons asked him to explain something. All the demons, from the worst to the best, were there. People gathered in front of the palace, and Reed stood at the window of his room to watch.

The whispering of the demons outside the palace made a lot of noise.

“Listen, everyone,” Reed said. No one said a word. “So you can stop complaining and grumpy because my chosen queen is a real human.” The noise outside the palace started up again. “Haven’t I told you to be quiet?”

Reed inhaled deeply. All of the demons are still whispering. He did not, however, let them go on and not listen to him.

“Be quiet!” he yelled out loud.

All eyes were on Reed. “Now, she’s expecting my heir. Anyone....” Reed made his voice louder. It was heard everywhere. “I will get even with anyone who complains, insults, or tries to kill my queen.”

Everyone was shocked, so they all kept quiet. “So it’s true that you killed one of the unborn demons for no reason...”

“No reason? That demon attempted to kill my queen and my son.”

“But she’s a human, right? Your chosen queen?”

.....

“It is a big insult to us that the one who leads us is a human, and the one who follows you, your son, is a half-blood. We can’t go along with that.”

Reed’s eyebrows went up. “You don’t agree?”

When the demon suddenly stood up and spoke, everyone was shocked. Everyone was looking at the demon, and the demon was looking back at Reed.

“What does it matter what you think?” Reed inquired. A few seconds later, everyone was shocked when the demon exploded and splashed black liquid in their faces. Its body was torn into pieces.

“Now, does anyone else have a problem with the choice I made?” Reed asked.

“I, I will not allow...”

Reed smirked. The demon’s body rose up, and just like what happened to the first demon, its body also exploded, and its body rattled as its blood splattered on everyone there.

“Reed...” Eldron said.

“They don’t fear me, father. What do you want? Let them say bad things about my queen and my unborn child. Reed inquired.

“My king, I think those demons are right. “Your mate doesn’t have to be just one person,” said one of the mages.

“She will also be good enough to be queen. And I don’t care what other people think. No one knows what will happen in the future, so neither you nor they can decide for me.” Reed said.

Reed gave up everything after what happened. Reed was left alone, and no one said anything. All but the middle-class demons, who went into the palace, started to leave. Reed went down the stairs when he saw the soldiers talking to the middle-class demons.

“I thought you were done asking questions? Why are you trying so hard to get in here?” Reed asked.

As Reed went down, everyone looked at the stairs. “The only reason you’re there is to talk to me,” Reed said.

Reed went with Eldron, Devin, and the other magicians. Everyone got off the stairs and went to the door. The people following Reed stopped about 2 meters from the door.

“Speak...” Reed said.

“My king, we’re not against what you’re doing, but we’d like to know more.”

Reed’s eyebrows went up. “Clear? Didn’t I make myself clear?” Reed asked.

“We have a question.”

Reed’s eyebrows went up. “What is that?”

“Will the queen turn into an evil spirit?”

Reed looked at the evil spirits. “No.”

Except for Reed’s friends, the demons there showed signs of being shocked.

“You want to get married and run a kingdom that doesn’t belong to him simultaneously? And the child he is carrying will also be king?”

“Does that bother you in any way?” Reed asked.

“I was thinking about my king...”

“What’s on your mind?” Devin asked.

“Would there ever be a chance for another demon to cross the portal?”

Reed smirked. The demon’s question caught everyone by surprise. Eldron and the other mages all looked at Reed.

“Do you want to go into the world of people?” Reed asked.

The demon didn’t say anything. “Do you know how dangerous it is for us demons to live in that world?” Reed asked.

“Dangerous?”

“You know nothing about other people. “Perhaps you know what’s happening in that world, don’t you?” Reed asked. “It’s hard for people like us to live in that world, and it’s dangerous for you. In that world, you might die.”

“Dangerous?”

“Dangerous for those who think of you as a demon. If you pay attention, you’ll see that none of the weak demons return to that realm.

The demons couldn’t believe it. They looked each other in the eye. “Just tell me if you want to cross.” Reed was happy. “I’m willing to get you where you need to go.”

No one any longer asked the demons. Reed left them all behind and turned his back on them. Becky and Devin gave chase.

“Do you think Reed could love me?”

Emy, Avery, and Jasmin were all sitting on the couch that afternoon, watching the drama on TV. Anton and Marina were doing chores around their house. Anton was outside watering the plants while Marina was inside the house with them.

“Of course,” Jasmin said. “Isn’t it clear by now?”

“Not only doesn’t he know, but he loves you so much he’s dead. What else could a demon like him do? They don’t know what love is or how to love, but even though they don’t know it, they are already in love and doing what people love to do.” Avery told me.

Jasmine giggled. “Your stomach is so big. Do you still not believe me? Also, it doesn’t seem like Sir Reed cares about other women. It looks like he likes you best when it comes to food.”

“Wow, you really said that Miss Emy was like your food. Don’t you know the phrase that’s popular with men?” Avery inquired

“Phrase? What sayings?” Jasmin asked.

“Men get tired of devouring the same dish, so they try something new,” Avery told me.

“Huh? Is that for real?” Jasmin asked. “No matter what, a favorite will always be a favorite, right?”

Avery just smiled and didn’t say a word. She looked at Emy.

“Miss Emy, how are you?” Jasmin asked.

“Sure. I’m fine. Why did you ask?” Amy spoke up.

“Miss Emy, I just worry about you. I know you love your baby, but isn’t he half-blood?” Avery looked at Emy and Jasmin. “Don’t you worry about yourself and your baby, too? Right now, someone is trying to kill you and your child.”

Emy inhaled deeply. “I can’t even figure out why someone is trying to kill me.”

“Because you’re a queen,” Avery told me. “Your son is half white and half black.”

“Huh? What are you saying?” Amy spoke up.

Avery looked over at Emy. “Miss Emy, you are a human, and Sir Reed is the king of demons. And Sir Reed, a person, chose you to be his queen. You can’t be their queen because you’re still pregnant with a half-blood. Half human, half monster. We don’t know what demons think of people like us, but we do know what we think of demons. I don’t think they’ll be able to get used to you, Miss Emy, and I don’t think they’ll accept you.” Avery told me.

Emy inhaled deeply. “Honestly, I don’t know how I got into this situation. Fate is just having a good time. I have no idea what it has in store for me.”

“I think Sir Reed will go with you to face whatever fate has in store for you,” Jasmin said.

Emy didn’t speak.

At the same time, Devin and Reed were just outside the house. Reed told Anton not to tell Emy about them when he saw them. They heard what the three women said to each other.

“That shaman really shocks me sometimes,” Devin said. “She looks like she doesn’t care but is thinking.”

Reed didn’t answer. Devin went up to Reed. “So, you really know how to love, right?”

“What do you want to say?” Reed asked.

“Why haven’t you said what you did yet?” Devin said.

“What do I have to say?” Reed asked.

“That you have gotten used to being human during our time here in the human world. From what humans do, how they talk, and even how they feel. You’re becoming a person, Reed.” Devin said.

“Stop talking nonsense, Devin,” Reed said.

“It’s not nonsense; I’m just telling you a fact,” Devin said.

“Fact? When did a demon believe something was true?” Reed asked.

Devin didn’t answer. Instead, he just laughed. Reed grabbed the doorknob, but Devin spoke again before the door could open.

“You remember what you did before, right?” Devin asked.

Reed smirked. “I know, and it doesn’t bother me.”

“They are demons, and you have power over them. You can’t care.” Devin said.

.....

“You no longer have to worry about those demons. People like them are just being used by the elites. I don’t want to get in the way of what they want to do, but I can’t let it happen because I care about how I act and what I do. Reed said.

He turned the doorknob right away and went inside. Devin went after him right away. When Reed walked in, Emy, Avery, and Jasmin were in the living room. He went straight up to Emy and sat down next to her.
