The dragon's harem

Pain would torture both the Demoness and the Court Wizard, and then the Demoness would torture the Court Wizard even more... Arad wasn’t sure if the poor elvish woman could withstand that, but it’s Aloe’s decision as she was the one who almost lost everything.

He stood and looked at them. ”Anyway, with the problem here solved. I’ll be taking my leave. Just one thing: make sure she can still do her duties as a Court Wizard.”

Pain nodded in silence, and so did the Demoness. Seeing that everyone understood, Arad was about to leave, and even Aloe flew toward the summoning circle to head back to the abyss with a sad face. But then, he suddenly called her.

”Aloe... come with me.” She immediately looked back at him with an excited smile. ”Really?!” He sighed, scratched the back of his head, and shook his head. ”Yeah. You’re coming back with me.” She flew right toward with a happy smile, shrunk to her tiny fairy size, and hid inside his hair.

”Take care.” As Arad disappeared, the Demoness sighed. ”That was close...” She immediately threw a sharp glare at the Court Wizard. ”You almost got us all killed! He wouldn’t bat an eye at erasing this entire elvish kingdom from the map and would even erase my Lady’s lair!”

”But... how was I supposed to know he was that powerful? One sip of that wine can kill a god! I didn’t know he could withstand that.” As the Court Wizard gasped, the Demoness froze for a second. ”What did he even do with that entire bottle?”

At that moment, a black whip cracked on their backs, and the two of them fell to their knees. The Demoness growled, but the Court Wizard wailed in agony.

”Strip, stand straight, hands on head, elbows apart, legs apart, and on your toes.” Pain’s voice was deep, but clearly that of a woman, as if she were screaming from behind a thick wall.

As the two did what she ordered, she walked past them, looking at the bedside table where an image of the mage and her husband was. She grabbed it, threw it into the corner of the room, and then pulled out a frame of her own.

The frame had a meticulously drawn image of Dalla, so detailed that one with good eyesight could count her eyelashes. Pain stared at that image for a few long seconds, then slowly put it down.

The two were already ready, so she turned around and held her whip. For the rest of the night, Pain made sure the two wouldn’t be able to wear clothes ever again without feeling their entire body burning on fire.

Back in the Princess’ Private Quarter, Arad appeared once more in the living room, finding out that everyone was already getting ready for the night. ”This place is protected by elvish magic; how annoying. Want me to dispel it?”

Arad smiled. ”No need. It’s only locking this place. Or is there anything else about it?” Aloe shook her head. ”No, it’s just sealing magic to make sure no one gets in or out uninvited. It also prevents communication with the outside world, so you can stand on the balcony and no one outside would see you.”

”So, just as I knew, I had Merlin inspect and reform it.” As Arad said that, Aloe cried. ”Huh? She is a human. Only elves can handle this barrier... I have several elvish mage slaves in my domain, so I get them to do the work, but how did she do it?”

”Merlin can use elvish magic.” Arad replied without telling Aloe why. It was because she had elvish hands and feet. ”Cerilla is also here, so using her authority from afar is possible with magic. She is impressive, isn’t she?”

”Impressive? She is horrifying. If you didn’t exist and she suddenly showed up in my domain, I would be more willing to bark and suck her toes than start a fight.” She looked at Arad. ”Do you know that some of your wives can now travel the entire universe, and not a single fucker would dare even look at them?”

Remembering how Merlin fought Lilia, Arad had to agree. Merlin was scary, and so were most of his wives.

He started walking, and when he got out of the living room into the hallway, he could already see one maid standing there, waiting. ”Lord Arad, I’ve been tasked with awaiting your return.”

Arad looked at the maid’s face. Her hair was long, silky smooth, and black, reaching down to the floor. Her eyes were bright golden, burning with light. Her lips and nails were bright red, and her maid uniform looked strange, unlike anything that Arad had ever seen before.

Aloe flew out of Arad’s hair and started flying around the maid’s head. ”What’s wrong with this bitch? She reeks of women... not even Arad reeks of women like you.” She landed on her shoulder and started knocking on her head. ”Say something. How many women have you slept with? An entire army?”

”Ah, quite a few.” The maid replied with a gentle smile, ”Ah, it was quite fun.” She licked her lips. ”What about you, little fairy. You look quite delicious. Want to have some fun with me?”

Aloe flew away, disgusted. ”Hell no! Stay away from, womanize woman.” Crossing her arms, she huffed and puffed around the maid’s head. ”I like men, those with something big, hard, and heavy.” She stared down at her waist. ”Or do you have something in there? I knew some demonesses do.”

”No, I do not, sweet fairy.” As the maid giggled, Arad finally growled. ”Aloe, get back here.”

”Why? I’m just checking this weird maid. I’ve never seen such a deranged pervert in my entire life, and I see the Demon Lord of Lust. This bitch here smokes her by several orders of magnitude. She is on a whole different dimension of debauchery.” She looked back at the maid. ”If the sin of lust were a living being, even it would be disgusted.”

”Amaterasu, what are you doing here?” Hearing Arad growl, Aloe froze, then looked back, studied the maid, and burst out laughing. ”What are you saying? There’s no way Amaterasu can exist in the mortal world. Besides, I sense no divine magic from her, and look... she has elf ears.”

”I can’t be an elf? Who decided that?” The maid spoke in a gentle voice. ”My light feeds every living plant in existence, Yggdrasil and Qliphoth included. They aren’t fools enough to disobey the hand that feeds them.”

”Huh?” Aloe stared back, confused, terrified, and dumbfounded.

”I cannot exist in the mortal world? Who decided that? I always existed in this world, and in every world long before a single soul lived in them. Who dares deny my existence when I illuminate their lives every day, and I’ve been illuminating the lives of their ancestors for eons immemorial? Both Mortals and their Mortal world better learn to respect their elders.”

”Wait, what the fuck...” Aloe finally flew to hide behind Arad.
