"Are all those gifts for us?" Lily asked, still finding it hard to believe that the mountains of presents were hers.

"Yes, dear. They're for you and your big brother."

"So we'll be taking them home? All of them?"

"That is correct, and once we get home, we'll take our time opening each and every one of them."

"Un," Lily nodded cutely and her feet continued to swing happily underneath the table.

The little princess was now the happiest she had ever been since she arrived in the supernatural world and she could hardly wait to tear open every single present once she was back at the castle.

Meanwhile, the demon announcer continued to list the names of important nobles from the other kingdoms and the gifts that they offered.

The three piles of presents were mainly from commoners and lower-class nobles of the capital city,

The high-ranking nobles wanted their tributes presented directly to the Queen and her children, so the announcers introduced their gifts individually.

Some offered luxury silks, exotic foods, golden treasures, glowing mana crystals, and piles of gold coins, while others offered rare artifacts.

Within minutes, the announcer was done listing the gifts of the important nobles, so he moved on to listing the presents the demon lords had brought with them as well.

However, out of the seven demon lords in the continent, only four of them had attended Aster and Lily's homecoming party.

This meant that five Demon Lords were present overall, including Vivian, while the remaining two hadn't been able to make it due to one reason or another.

And with that, the demon announcer began to list out the presents the demon lords had brought with them.

"From the Kingdom of House Mammon, the Capra King himself offers the Dragon Prince and Princess a special sword and spear forged from rare magical items."

Two jack-o'-lantern knights brought the weapons forward for all to see, and even from where he sat, Aster could tell how massive and heavy the two weapons were.

But from what Aster could deduce, it was clear the Capra Demon Lord had given them to Aster so he could use them in the future, probably once the prince had reached the size of a demon lord.

"Next..." The demon announcer continued.

"From the Kingdom of House Belial, the Shadow King himself, offers two cloaks for Prince Astaroth and Princess Lilian."

Looking closely at the cloaks, Aster immediately noticed that they were not like any normal cloak one would find in a merchant shop.

They were powerful enchanted cloaks, but since each of them was enormous, Aster and Lily wouldn't be using them anytime soon either.

The demon lords were naturally over ten feet tall, meaning they were easily taller than the normal, ordinary demons around them.

However, when selecting gifts for the Dragon Queen's children, they had taken into account the possibility of Aster and Lily growing to a similar height as their mother in the future.

Thus they decided that it was better to bring them an item that would be useful to them even after they had reached the height of their mother.

In other words, their presents had to be future-proof.

The demon announcer then called out the next name on the list.

"Next, we have presents from the Kingdom of House Belphegor. Her Majesty Isabella Belphegor offers royal frost-proof silks, enchanted gloves, mana-infused accessories, and two faceless masks!"

"Oohhh!!" The crowd exclaimed with an intrigued look on their faces.

Aside from the other presents, no one really knew what the two masks could do, but Aster and Lily would have to figure it out on their own when the time was right for them to use them.

For now, they would just have to wait for the time to come.

Meanwhile, the demon announcer turned his attention to the last name on his list and began to list Vulcan's presents.

"Finally, From The Kingdom of House Azazel, His Majesty, Lord Vulcan Azazel offers a Thunderbird Egg for Princess Lilian… and a sealed scroll for Prince Astaroth."

The entire plaza gasped in surprise.

A few demons wondered what the scroll contained and why the pyro demon lord had offered it to their prince, but what really caught their attention the most was the Thunderbird egg Lord Vulcan had gifted to the little dragon princess.

The egg was not only rare, but it was also worth a fortune.

In fact, a few demons whispered about how a Thunderbird egg was rarer than a phoenix feather, and even rarer than a leviathan's scale.

Such an egg could even buy the territories of at least two nobles.

But that begged the question, Why did Lord Vulcan offer something so precious to a little girl who hadn't even awakened her demon core, much less conjured her first magical spell?

Even the Capra Demon Lord and the Shadow Demon Lord wondered why Vulcan would easily offer such a treasure to the Dragon Queen's daughter.

But Vulcan simply crossed his four arms with an unreadable expression on his face as he ignored the reaction of everyone in the plaza.

However, Vivian smiled softly as she glanced at the egg.

Soon after, two jack-o'-lantern knights carried the scroll and the egg forward on a large tray.

The small scroll was tied with a crimson wax and seal while the large egg shimmered beautifully on the tray.

The top half of the Thunderbird egg was deep blue in color while the bottom half had a bright golden color, but what really attracted most demons was how hard and spiky the egg looked.

On the other hand, Aster still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Of course, he had heard of what a Thunderbird was, but to see the egg of such a legendary and mythical creature right in front of him, Aster couldn't help but grin at the realization that this supernatural world was really the best.

'I wonder if I would see a Phoenix someday.' Aster mulled in his thoughts as the demons in the plaza began to murmur softly.

But the plaza became silent once again when their attention was swiftly drawn to the announcer.

"With this, we conclude the tribute ceremony! So let the feast resume!"

Hearing this, the music rose louder again, and the crowd cheered happily as the dancing demons began to dance once again, while others ate and enjoyed the banquet.

But just when a few other demons were about to get their groove on, Vulcan stood up while raising one of his hands.

"I have an announcement to make."
