The King of Fairies is now a Demon Lord

Chapter 172: Hints joining in to finish the Puzzle

I recommend reading chapter 16, 24 to 28, 34 before reading this. Hopefully it will jog up some memories.

The hall was in silence. The nobles sat in their respective seats as designated to them. The nobles of the north sat together, the west, the east, and the south.

The foreign lords and influential sat in a different corner, still a part of the huge round table. A distance away from the table, on a high platform was a balcony where the Queen of the Demon Kingdom sat along with her hand besides.

"We shall begin our discussions." The Queen spoke out loud as she looked at the assembled people from the balcony. "Today, we talk about how the kingdom will be ruled and it's future."

There were murmurs among the nobles who had gathered here. This is how it was expected after all.

The younger nobles seemed awkward, especially after the display of power but excited and humbled nevertheless.

The old monsters by the side smirked. Queen Lucifer had not changed in the slightest in terms of power or even attitude, not even aged... as beautiful as she was a century and a half back.

The discussion that would take place was extremely important since it would play a vital role in future developments and projects.

It was similar to a company meeting but on a much larger scale.

On the table stood several scrolls, documents, and books of unknown content. It contained information about all the kingdoms of the world and all the affidavits of the projects and developers since the last Realm Discussion.

While some of these were hidden due to dust upon them, others were openly available for anyone interested.

Amongst the documents, one of particular interest was the current contract between the human realm and the demon kingdom.

Joseph especially stared at that contract. It was especially this strip of paper that did not allow there to be violence against the two kingdoms.

It was because of this that, the church was playing in the shadows rather than attacking from the front.

Everyone knew that the country, Theocracy was anti-demon along with their holy church, they absolutely despised demons.

While Valencia, another human country gladly accepted demons and every other race. It was still a developing country, unlike the Theocracy which was already well established.

However, everyone also knew that the Theocracy was doomed, after all, their resources were pretty limited especially since they closed off trade with Bourassa, the Demon Kingdom, of which Lucifer is the ruler.

This was one of the reasons why they appointed a puppet leader through shady means and changed the style of government in Valencia from monarchy to democracy by assassinating Phillip's father, Charles.

After that incident, they controlled Valencia's trade from behind the curtains. Valencia would trade with Bourassa and then give more than half of the trade to the Theocracy.

However, one wrong incident changed their entire claw on Valencia.

'Shadow' a pawn organization of theirs, made a deal with the Devils that was supposed to be used to fight demons... but the leaders of Shadow, the Yellow Family, one of the noble Valencian Families was in hast and instead changed the deal to eliminate all immigrants including demons from entering.

That turned out to be a blunder since they turned into zombies along with a huge chunk of the population including the royal family(Phillip's brother and Sister-In-Law), letting the United Enforcer Department take control of the Government of Valencia leading to Shadow disbanding and them turning into cold walking corpses that were eventually killed.

This was a huge loss to the Theocracy and a win to the Demons. Sure, many countries funded the UED but no one was more invested in it than Bourassa, the Demon Kingdom.

After all, they created the United Enforcer Department, an organization for peace. It was indirectly controlled by her highness, Queen Lucifer.

Even then the Church did not give up, they began to infiltrate spies in the Country of Education which too did not lead to many results since they were all killed mysteriously when especially the pope himself conducted the operation in person.

Joseph was that pope. He was confused. Years of hard work were laid to waste due to a single blunder on their pawn's part.

The War had already begun, there was no doubt about it. The peace contract would expire today.

The Theocracy had already finished its preparation for war. All money and gold had been invested in their weapons.

They knew they would be unable to defeat the Demon Kingdom in terms of magic because their species were inferior hence they prepared weapons that used science.

Yes, the country of the demon was more advanced in Magi-Tech but the Theocracy was a thousand times ahead in manual-tech.

A lot of it was because of the first Human Emperor that wore the ring of Solomon. A ring that was once upon a soul shard of the great, Mahir El Navah, fell into the hands of Solomon a Giant, and then finally fell into the hands of a slave in the Lower Realm.

Lucifer on the other side smirked seeing Joseph's expression. Ruling upon this realm was child's play for someone like her who was the War General in the God Plains.

She could read him like an open book. She always found humans a little funny. Before she ruled over the Demons, humans were nothing but slaves of the kind.

The Human Emperor was the first slave she bought upon arriving. Lucifer even gave him the Ring of Solomon, just to sit back and enjoy the show the slave would give her.

In the end, there was a revolution and the humans separated from the demons were no longer slaves, and made their own empire... The Theocracy, an empire made on the skulls of dead humans and demons.

Yet, they were ingrates filled with greed and prejudice.

Humans and the world believed that Human Emperor simply chanced upon the ring through sheer luck... the ignorance of the human emperor to admit almost made her laugh.

He enjoyed the fame, the freedom... even turning his eyes to his former master who freed him, filled with arrogance and confidence.

In the end, Lucifer stripped him of the ring and castrated the human, leaving him on a whimful mercy. Forcing her slave to ascend the world to the Celestial Realm.

The hate towards the Demons was never forgotten and instead piled up to make the greatest congregation to form The Holy Church.

A religious organization that took control of the country rather than monarchs or government bodies, a country ruled by religion worshipping the Goddess, Lubella, the goddess of elves, and the Supreme Ruler of Life, The Theocracy.

Lucifer glanced at Joseph with her pretty eyes, her lips curled and chin resting on her gloved hands.

"Tell me, Saint Joseph Maria... The Pope of the Holy Theocracy. The contract of peace between our countries will end today... is the Theocracy willing to renew it?"

She asked in a calm tone yet her voice echoed throughout the banquet forming drop silence as the tension grew.

The Pope looked down at the table, his face showed nothing besides a cold resolve.

Joseph raised his head slowly. His eyes were dark and full of malice and hatred unnerving in front of Lucifer's gaze.

"You think I'd accept such a thing?"

Lucifer raised an eyebrow. The other nobles and people to were appalled. This human dared talk back to her highness, the strongest being in the Realm.... he had guts.

The other aspect thundering upon their head was of war. The situation did not seem very great, the pope looked distressed and wrathful.

Some of the nobles had already begun calculating profits or losses if a war did take place while a cold glint sparkled in the eyes of the Seven Sin Families, especially Avari.

If war did take place, it would be the perfect opportunity for him to take over both counties amidst the disarray, and then maybe even take Lucifer as his wife.

Someone did say, 'Chaos is a Ladder.'

Tension grew in the air, the potent mana in the atmosphere that was sensitive to emotions did not help much.

Fear filled the air, especially the noble families that had much to lose and the old monsters who had participated in wars before, sick and tired of them.

Lucifer smiled softly, a curved grin that was anything but genuine.

"I did not ask your opinion, senile old human, what is the answer of the Theocracy?"

Her eyes flickered coldness and she peered into Joseph's soul. She wondered if he would do anything stupid.

If possible, she wanted to ascend, leaving the world in peace rather than chaos.

There was only one solution to this, Joseph was the key to everything. If he agreed, things would be easier for her.

At least she hoped so.

The pope looked at her with a glare. There was no way he could tell her to fuck off even after she humiliated him, he was but an ant in front of her.

What was left was destruction or salvation and Joseph knew what to choose very well.

As the Pope opened his mouth to utter his answer, there was a sudden commotion in the audience. The young nobles were confused as they saw someone walk into the room.

His eyes blazed in an amethyst noble otherworldly brilliance while his steps resounded with utmost elegance.

He wore a plain white cloth embedded with violet crystals and diamonds. Silver chains were around his neck and a beautiful obsidian choker with huge diamonds was around his neck.

His skin was pale but not white, a healthy peach color instead and a dangerous aura surrounded him, similar to an evil dragon that would steal the princess from her castle walls.

His fingers were long and slender, covered in a smooth white glove similar to the one Lucifer wore.

His nose was small yet sharp and his cheekbones were plenty high, an androgynous visage one would say but for some reason, it looked extremely manly.

His lips were reddish baby pink which would give women a run for their money to know what brand of vaseline he uses.

Just looking at him made one want to look away in shame, his face was made out of perfection and the rays of his handsomeness, shined even brighter than the Sun on the beautiful blue horizon.

"Oh, there you are," Lucifer said as soon as he stepped into the room. "I have been waiting for you."

"Your highness," Sebastian expressed. He bowed deeply. Lucifer acknowledged him but not before admiring the silver-haired man's outfit.

"You look very beautiful, today." She spoke, a little shy. Rael nodded and admired his woman, obviously happy with her compliment.

He then touched his choker and gazed at the one Lucifer wore. A warm smile etched on his face.

"Likewise. Unlike you, I am unable to express but if I had to, then, you look absolutely stunning today, your dress makes your eyes pop."

Lucifer looked down, her ears red and pink, heat emanating from them. Meanwhile, the audience had their jaw wide open for a mosquito to enter in.

What the fuck was going on? Who is this handsome brat? Why is he talking so casually to the most beautiful woman to ever exist???

Most of all... Why is the cold-as-ice demon empress blushing?!

However, the ones in true shock were the Sin Families... especially them and all the others who had crossed paths with the silver-haired demon, they simply stared at Rael dumbfounded... a few traumatic experiences replaying in their mind upon encounter, including the war-mongering idiot, Joseph.

Rael patted Lucifer lightly, not hard enough to ruin her hairdo, and turned to look at the audience. The warm smile on his visage, curled further, looking sinfully twisted... it was disgusting.

He spoke lightly, but the silent hall could easily hear him and all the viewers on the television since the realm discussion was being streamed worldwide.

He raised his arm and made a peace symbol while giving a wink while the other arm was stuck tight to his waist, giving out a dominant pose.

"Yoo! What's up cuckolds?"
