What happened when Claire first laid her eyes on Damien's wives?
Well, obviously, she shot him a glare beyond glares, something that terrified him to the core.
As for what happened after...?
'Well, even I want to know.'
Unfortunately, Damien was kicked out of the room almost instantly so the women could talk to each other.
He could only hope his mother would be accepting, but he wasn't too worried.
After all, she was his mother.
She would definitely be snarky about it and judge him silently, but she wasn't an unreasonable person. If their happiness was real, she wouldn't cause too much of a fuss.
Plus, she had the same problem as Damien!
If she was too against his harem, it would only make her a hypocrite as someone who allowed her husband to have a second wife!
They were both put in awkward positions by the choices they made in the past, but since neither of them regretted those choices, they were stuck forced to be happy for each other.
It was a bit comedic to say the least.
Personally, Damien didn't mind the situation much. He and his mother were alike in many ways, so he was well aware of how she'd react.
Because of that, he didn't need to worry about anything, because if she was going to act the same way he would, everything would end up okay.
Nevertheless, Claire needed her alone time with his women for many reasons.
She was probably going to vet them by her standards for about five minutes before realizing how great Damien's taste in women was. The rest of the time would likely be spent getting to know them.
Next time they saw each other, she would probably be their greatest supporter.
'Or at least, that's how I see her reacting.'
Damien made his predictions as he walked the halls of the main palace.
It was a large place. It was easy to get lost, especially because it wasn't a completely "real" structure.
The main palace was actually disjointed in many places. A lot of facilities had no connection point between each other and a lot of others were quite literally impossible to enter by normal means.
That was because Void Palace existed in a spatial pocket that was intertwined with the real plane.
He wasn't necessarily accepted as the Young Lord in every part of the palace, and there were definitely people plotting against him in the dark.
On top of that, the actual power he could command within Void Palace wasn't much at all.
'It's basically a puppet position, a shell without anything inside.'
Damien made his way through the palace, easily discerning the planar movements he needed to do so as he looked for the Hugo Clan's residence.
'But that's fine too.'
He wasn't here alone.
No, he didn't just bring his wives or his friends or his compatriots.
He didn't just bring a force or an army.
He brought an entire universe with him to the Heavenly World.
And for the past who knows how many years, he'd been using that universe to raise an army that was loyal only to him.
'They haven't had much to do until now.'
They participated a bit in the lower universe's war, but it was just a playground for them to test some of their skills.
They'd never truly operated as an army before.
And more than anything...
'...Void Palace doesn't have its own army. It has a lot of disjointed combat units, but nothing like a structured army for real wars.'
They never needed it. The small number of elites they used was always better than an army of weaker beings in the battles they fought.
'But no longer.'
It wouldn't remain that way under Damien's control.
'Because now that I'm here, we're not going to play passive anymore.'
They were going to take everything back from those who thought it was funny to steal from them.
And they were going to take everything those people held dear as well.
'Once our two armies are combined, once I can control the palace properly, once we take care of all the internal problems preventing us from acting at our full capacity...'
Damien's eyes narrowed.
'...I'll let the Heavenly World remember why they fear our palace.'
