A few minutes ago, before the dragon queen had walked into the meeting room, the male demon lords had been discussing and arguing amongst themselves regarding who would ask Vivian about the rumors of her returning with children by her side.
Some had been against asking her while others had pretended to be indifferent about it.
In the end, all four of the male Demon Lords were still arguing until they suddenly heard the door creaking open.
This had caught them by surprise because none of them had heard Vivian's footsteps while they had been preoccupied with their arguing.
So they were forced to act 'natural' while hoping that she hadn't been listening to what they were discussing before her arrival.
This was why Vivian had arrived only to find them all looking everywhere but at her.
None of them had expected her to arrive so soon, so they could only stand awkwardly while staring at the floor, walls, and ceilings.
However, they were all still interested in knowing more about the male who had the balls to seduce and impregnate the dragon queen, so they were glad Isabella had directly asked Vivian the burning question on everyone's mind.
"So, Vivian… If you do not mind me asking. Who is their father?"
The entire room fell silent, and every male demon lord in the room became a statue.
Their ears stretched in unison while their eyes were widened in surprise at Isabella's bravery, but they waited patiently for the dragon queen to answer the question.
Meanwhile, Vivian blinked innocently at Isabella's question before opening her mouth to speak. "Not one." She replied in a smooth and calm voice.
"Huh? Not one?" Isabella repeated Vivian's words with a puzzled look on her face. "What do you mean by not one?"
"I mean that my babies have two different fathers, but neither of them is around anymore."
"WHAT?!" Isabella couldn't help but exclaim as she leaned back on her chair in shock.
Meanwhile, the sound of different gasps echoed throughout the room. They had been so taken aback that one of the Demon Lords almost choked on the tea he was drinking.
Their eyes were wide with surprise, and they all had the same thought spiraling through their minds.
'Oh my. Did the Dragon Queen just say that she had two husbands?'
'So she got impregnated by two different men?!'
'And neither of them is around anymore?'
'Doesn't that mean she killed them both?!'
'Yes, she must have definitely killed them both!!'
'Wouldn't that have been me, had I married the dragon queen?'
Beads of sweat slowly began to accumulate on their foreheads as they realized how insane the Dragon Queen really was.
They slowly exchanged glances without saying anything.
However, they all understood what they were thinking, just by staring at each other.
'Fuck!! I knew it!!'
'This woman is crazy!!'
'Calm down, this shouldn't be surprising to us. I've heard of our kind doing something like this in the past.'
'Yeah, but males were the only ones who did it.'
'Indeed. No female has ever willingly killed her husband before, let alone two husbands.'
'Yeah, you're right. The Dragon Queen is truly insane.'
'Oh well, it's a good thing that those two valiant and unknown demons were willing to sacrifice themselves for us.'
'Yeah, their sacrifice will never be forgotten.'
'They've indirectly become my sworn brothers now.'
'Yeah, me too and I truly respect them both for their great sacrifice.'
'Now, we won't need to bother ourselves about the dragon queen anymore.'
'But wouldn't it have been better to enjoy the privilege of mating with the dragon queen before experiencing death?'
'Hell no! I don't want to be remembered as a demon lord who died after sex.'
'Agreed. I'd rather be alive than dead right now.'
'Yeah, me too. My little brother is still very much useful to me, so knowingly courting death isn't on my agenda right now.'
'Me three. I don't just want to be horny alone, I also want to be happy!!'
'Agreed, a horny demon is a happy demon.' The male demon lords folded their hands across their chests while nodding their heads in unison.
To the male demon lords, Vivian was a vicious queen who had killed two of her husbands right after they got her pregnant.
But they had no idea that they had all misunderstood her words.
Yes, Aster and Lily had two different fathers, but neither of them had been her husband, and she had never seen them before, so she couldn't even have gotten the opportunity to kill them.
But since no one knew of this truth, Vivian decided to leave it like that.
Meanwhile, Isabella struggled to swallow her saliva before nodding her head rapidly in understanding.
In the past, there had been reports of male demons with lofty ambitions marrying into some of the seven royal families, just for them to kill their spouses with the excuse that they were weak and a distraction to their greater ambition.
Now, the tables had been flipped and Isabella couldn't hold back the smile that spread on her face.
Demons were vicious and cunning creatures, so it really made the Frost Demon Queen happy to see a fellow demon showing the males just how cruel a female demon could be as well.
Bringing everyone's attention back to her, Vivian gently placed a hand over Isabella's before asking. "So what about you? Do you have a child yet?"
Isabella forced the sweetest smile she had ever made in her life. "Of course! Yes, I do. A beautiful daughter."
"How old is she?"
"She's fifteen and she might attend Evermore Academy this year."
Vivian's eyes softened even more. "Oh, how lovely. My son is fifteen too. I hope they get along. Perhaps they might become classmates and even best friends."
Both ladies giggled softly and continued chatting as if they had been the closest friends for centuries.
From an outsider's perspective, both Queens were adorable, especially with how close they seemed to be.
But only the Demon Lords around them knew the truth.
They knew that, of all the demon lords currently in the room, Vivian and Isabella were the ones with the fiercest rivalry.
And yet here they were…
Laughing…
Drinking tea together…
Exchanging stories about their children…
While the men stared in pure fear.
'Just what exactly is currently going through the minds of these ladies?' All the male demon lords had the same thought circling their minds.
Just then, the door slammed open, and everyone turned to the last demon lord who had just stepped through the door.
He was a twelve-foot-tall demon with blazing horns and four arms.
He also had red colored skin and a pair of fireballs hovering above his shoulders as he marched in.
His name was Lord Vulcan, and he was the Pyro Demon Lord.
"Sorry I'm late," Vulcan announced boldly as he took his seat.
He was the one who had summoned them all to this meeting and as such, he should have arrived before anyone else.
But he had been preoccupied with a few things that prevented him from coming sooner, which was why he had quickly apologized for being the last to arrive at the meeting.
"Very well. Shall we begin?" Vulcan announced, and the Demon Council meeting officially began.
