Avira had no confusion about her past memories. She clearly remembered the instant she transformed from a human into the Demon King’s weapon. However, at the time, she hadn’t realized she was sinking into depravity.
The sensation felt just like sleeping, but she vividly recalled the fragments before falling asleep and within the dream itself.
The Demon King’s tuning had turned her into a loyal member of the Demon Race.
From another perspective, though… it had also saved her life.
Avira had no room or reason to hesitate. Those vivid scenes made her blush and her heart race with shame every time she recalled them.
“Damn Demon King…”
When she woke, Avira found herself completely naked.
She noticed the Demon King sleeping right beside her.
Ophitia gently held Avira’s hand, her tail pressed against Avira’s calf.
For a moment, Avira nearly succumbed to the Demon King’s beauty.
She lifted her head and instinctively touched her chest. The soft mounds were still there…
Good. The Moon Mark hadn’t evolved.
No injuries, no Demon Essence injected.
Excellent. It seemed tonight had passed peacefully~
But then, Avira suddenly remembered something. She slid her hand down her belly…
“Eh?! Wait a minute…”
She had only touched her stomach when, through her body’s sensations and perceptions, she detected a change that hadn’t existed before her flashback. It felt as if something had once opened her most important place.
Avira’s face immediately paled. Her body trembled as she stared blankly at her belly under the covers. For an instant, she felt her soul might leave her body.
Then, she let out a soft whimper. Crystal tears shimmered in her beautiful eyes. She wiped them away and unleashed a torrent of filthy curses at Ophitia in her mind.
“I… I’m going to kill you, Demon King! I’m going to kill you!”
Avira clutched her belly and chest, seething with rage.
The Demon King, as a Crystal Dragon, could create eggs with magic, producing powerful kin through a form of parthenogenesis.
But!
She could clearly feel traces of an egg having passed through that place, with lingering magic from the egg!
What did that mean?
It meant the Demon King had tried to impregnate her! In other words, this idiot Demon King, knowing she was human, had wanted her to become the mother of her child!!
Did this fool not know humans couldn’t bear her offspring? Half a life created that way would just be wasted… No, no, that wasn’t the point.
The key was, she had really tried to get her pregnant!
Avira wanted to wake the Demon King right then and berate her as the vile villain she was. She even considered revealing her Saintess identity to blackmail her, capture her, and turn her into her puppet.
But upon seeing the Demon King’s peaceful sleeping face—even murmuring Avira’s name—reason returned to her mind.
Endure it, Avira. Endure… Endure for a moment, and the winds and waves will calm.
Her goal was to seize control of the Demon King without losing a single soldier or pawn. No matter what Ophitia thought, Avira was already one of the most important people by the Demon King’s side… If not for being summoned yesterday to handle Tilves affairs, she might not have realized it so soon.
In a few years, once the Demon Race was fully hers and Ophitia became a puppet Demon King in name only, she could punish her however she pleased.
“Hoo… Fine then. Mental purity was long gone anyway,” Avira muttered to herself.
She changed into her clothes, preparing to start the day’s busyness.
But soon, she noticed a new problem!
—Had she actually gotten pregnant?
Avira trembled and began stroking her belly.
If she were fully human, even an invasion by the Demon King wouldn’t cause any special reaction. But if that part of her had become part of the Demon Race—a womb nurturing the Demon King’s sinful seed—she had likely conceived!
Avira had no way to check if she was pregnant and didn’t know if the Demon King’s parthenogenesis had already taken root, merging with her genes.
On top of that, she knew nothing about Crystal Dragons in this regard…
Without external help, she had no way to know if conception had occurred!
“Ophitia, Ophitia?” Avira shook the Demon King’s body. She was truly panicked now.
She needed to ask right away if something irreversible had happened!
But this was overstepping.
The Demon King didn’t wake. For Avira, that wasn’t good news.
It meant the Demon King had expended a tremendous amount of energy yesterday.
Like, trying to impregnate her…
Finally, Ophitia murmured softly in her sleep but still didn’t wake.
Avira, what are you doing?! Is this something you should be worrying about?!
Only a true servant, a true wife, would fret over such things.
As the Saintess, the world’s trump card, the immortal Phoenix who knew battle and the future, Avira had no reason to care about these trivial details.
She left the room, freshened up simply, and glared at the Demon King one last time before departing.
Even so…
She still had to confirm with the Demon King at some point whether she had gotten pregnant.
Just as she stepped out, Avira sensed that Lena and Lace were no longer in the Royal Palace.
They had vanished without a trace since yesterday.
But more important matters awaited her.
She straightened her appearance, donned the prepared horns, and confirmed her appearance as a genuine Demon Race member before exiting the palace gates and heading to Fountain Square.
The sun had just risen, casting an orange glow over the stone pavement.
Two dangerous figures had been waiting by the fountain for some time. Even from afar, Avira could sense the perilous auras emanating from them.
One of the Moon Heaven Kings, Field.
The other was a woman with pale purple skin named Berika.
Tall and voluptuous, she wore skeletal frame-like clothing—simple fabrics draped around her body. Her cold gaze was like icy poison arrows, capable of piercing flesh. She had a pair of powerful wings and a sword-sharp tail adorned with a gem symbolizing the Demon King Army.
Black patterns crawled up her long legs, bewitching and seductive.
An Evil Demon.
This woman, one of the Moon Heaven Kings, was the most powerful of her kind, specialists in ranged spell combat.
She excelled in magical combat and detection, serving as both strategist and general.
When the two saw Avira approach, they were stunned for a few seconds.
It was exactly 6:30, the time for their audience with the Demon King.
And…
What was up with this woman?
Berika didn’t recall any such weak Demon Race member by the Demon King’s side.
Moreover, this arrogant maid dared to look down on her and the other Moon Heaven King with a haughty, cold gaze.
As if they were utter trash.
And what this maid said next made Berika’s pupils tremble with fury as she clenched her fists.
“Field, Berika, you have failed in your duties.”
Avira: You tried to get me pregnant! 😠
Avira: You DID get me pregnant!! 😡
