But that wasn't all, because in a certain residence, close to the dramatic female centaur, a male Oni Demon could be seen panicking with worry as he wondered what would be good enough to make the dragon Queen's children happy.
His wives hurried over to him, with each of them carrying a new set of jewelry they had just bought the previous week.
They stated that since dragons were known to like shiny objects, didn't that mean the jewelry would be good enough to serve as tributes?
The male Oni Demon thought it over and replied excitedly.
"Yes, Yes, Yes!! My lovely wives!!"
"You two are geniuses!!"
"Let's offer the Queen and her babies the shiniest object in our treasury!!"
"Bring out our family treasure!!!" He announced happily, with tears streaming down his cheeks, because deep down, he was now wondering how he would be able to survive after sacrificing his family's treasure.
Well, that didn't matter at the moment.
What mattered the most was making the Queen and her children happy because if it hadn't been for the Queen, he and his family would have been dead centuries ago.
"This one?" His first wife asked while grabbing a pair of golden items.
"Oh, hell no. That one looks ugly, my dear, and the Queen doesn't like ugly things."
"But darling, doesn't the Queen already have countless treasures in her treasury. I doubt she would like these little trinkets of ours." His second wife pointed out, but the male Oni Demon calmly walked towards his wife before placing both hands on her soft cheeks.
"You are right, my honey. But this is the best I can do. You know I'm just a poor demon. Like, I'm REALLY REALLY poor right now, so the queen would have to be satisfied with what I have." The male Oni Demon sighed deeply as he hung his head in disappointment, but his wife smiled before pulling him in for a hug.
He rested his head on her breasts as she stroked his hair gently. "It's okay darling. I'm sure the Queen will be pleased with whatever we offer her."
The male Oni Demon nodded in response. "Well, it doesn't matter if she likes it or not, cause I'm sure there'll be thousands of presents at the banquet tomorrow, so ours will probably be overshadowed by the more flamboyant gifts. Anyway, all this thinking is making me stressed out. Shall we head on to bed for some bedtime activities?" He wiggled his brows naughtily to his wives as he wrapped his arms around their waist then slowly moved them down to caress and squeeze their soft buttocks.
His wives' faces instantly turned red and they nodded in agreement before pulling him to their bedroom.
"Hehehe~ having two beautiful wives is the best. Woohoo!!"
Meanwhile, this was how most demons frantically continued their search for more presents throughout the city while others entertained themselves with their lovers.
By dawn, almost half of the city couldn't sleep due to the excitement and anticipation.
Most demons, either young or old, had a smile plastered on their faces, and none of them could wait to see the faces of their future rulers.
Meanwhile, high above the capital city, in the Dragon Queen's castle, the morning sunlight gradually crept into the Queen's bedroom, brightening up the room.
The rays of sunlight gently warmed Vivian's face and she slowly opened her eyes to see Aster still curled up against her left side with his head and hand resting comfortably on her chest, almost as though they didn't want to move away from it.
Of course, Vivian didn't mind this; instead, she looked to her right and noticed that her little princess was still snuggled close to her.
The scenery of her two children sticking to her like newborn babies instantly melted the Dragon Queen's heart, and Vivian couldn't help but smile warmly before leaning over to kiss their cheeks once, twice, and several more times.
Well, since she had promised to smother them this morning, Vivian couldn't help but shower her two little babies with the affection they needed on a beautiful morning like this.
And so, Vivian resumed her gentle kisses which caused Aster to squirm and Lily to giggle sleepily.
"Mama… stop hehehe~" The little girl mumbled as she rubbed her eyes gently then opened them to find Vivian smiling lovingly at her. "Good morning, Mama."
"Good morning, Mom."Aster greeted as well as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Good morning, my little dragons," Vivian whispered as she stroked their hair. "Was Sara able to teach you a lot while I was gone?"
"Yes, she was, and I really learnt a lot last night," Aster said with a yawn, then sat up slowly, but to his surprise, he felt his mother's arm, which was around him, pull him closer to her.
Lily felt the same thing as well and the little girl giggled as their mother hugged them closer.
"I'm so happy my little dragons were able to learn a thing or two about their new home.
"Ehehehe, me too Mama. I heard Mama was really strong and amazing. When I grow up, I'm going to be just as strong as you." Lily happily hugged her mother and Vivian chuckled softly.
"Ufufufufu!!! Lily just made Mama even happier. Now Mama is going to make today a WONDERFUL DAY for the two of you."
"What do you have in mind?" Aster asked with a curious look on his face.
Meanwhile, Lily's fuzzy tail wagged excitedly as she asked with stars sparkling in her eyes. "Are we having another pillow fight this morning, Mama?"
"Maybe. You'll see." Vivian giggled to herself as she imagined the expression they would both have on their faces once they saw their surprise later today.
She immediately began to imagine the myriad of expressions they would have on their faces later today, and Vivian couldn't hold back the feeling of excitement bubbling up inside of her.
"Ufufufu, This is so exciting." Vivian giggled even more, causing Aster and Lily to exchange glances with a puzzled look on their faces that said…
'Why is Mama giggling so much?'
'If we're going to have a pillow fight later today, does this mean that Mama is going to make it even more intense than the last one?'
Both of them wondered if Vivian's reason for giggling so much right now was because she was plotting an even more intense pillow fight.
But seeing that she continuously giggled for almost five minutes, Aster couldn't help but call out to her.
"Mom?"
"Yes, dear?"
"Is everything okay?"
"Of course, sweetie. Mama is perfectly fine. Ufufufu." Vivian giggled once again before hopping off her bed and planting both of her hands on her hips.
"Alright, my little dragons. It's time to get up." Vivian said as her nightgown fluttered around her for a moment. Then she snapped her fingers, causing her clothes to vanish instantly.
Now, the Dragon Queen was standing proudly before them in her birthday suit without a single ounce of shame.
"Come on, you two. What are you waiting for? We have a long day ahead of us." Vivian snapped her fingers again and Aster noticed that his clothes had vanished from his body.
The same thing happened to Lily's clothes as well but Vivian's voice quickly pulled their attention toward her.
"Alright, my babies. Up! Up! Up! It's bath time, so let's go!!" Vivian began to march slowly with her beautiful marshmallows jiggling with every step she took.
"Come on, Lily. March with me." Vivian beckoned to her little princess and Lily went over to her while giggling.
Although her mother was acting a bit more strangely than usual, Lily still found it funny which was why she swiftly hopped off the bed to join her mother.
"Good. Now, follow my lead, my beautiful little dragon!!!" Vivian grabbed Lily's hand before marching straight to the bath chamber and the little girl couldn't contain her laughter as she did exactly what Vivian was doing, even matching the pace of her mother's arms and legs with her little arms and legs while marching.
Meanwhile, Aster simply watched the two beautiful ladies marching like awkward soldiers to the bathroom.
"Come on, big brother, join us." Lily beckoned to Aster to join them and he smiled before also marching into the bath chamber to join his mother and sister.
The moment he stepped into the bath chamber, Vivian immediately splashed warm water on her children's faces, causing both Aster and Lily to burst into laughter.
They wiped the water off their faces before splashing some water on Vivian's face in return and before all three of them knew it, the room was filled with laughter and excited shrieks.
Meanwhile, Sara continued to hide in a really good spot where she could easily take cute and adorable photos of the three of them playing together.
"Hehehe~ my collection just keeps growing."
