Chapter 25 The Attitudes of the Five Great Demon Lords

Irons actually didn't remember the process of the meeting clearly, because although he was the focus of the entire meeting, what Margaret said directly overloaded his pig brain.

So much so that throughout the entire meeting, he still hadn't figured out that Margaret wanted him to be her husband?

This...is she kidding?

Of course, Irons felt surprised at first not because he hated Margaret. After all, as a pure face lover, Irons was very sure that a beauty like Margaret was completely in his strike zone.

Men just like beautiful women, there’s nothing wrong with that, but liking beautiful women doesn’t mean that beautiful women like them.

He would not think that Margaret was interested in him just because he had a good relationship with Margaret. That would be pure complacency.

You know, there are so many women around him who have a good relationship with him, but until now, he has never seen any of them clearly express their interest in him.

Ah, now she has it, Margaret, although Irons isn't sure if this is Margaret playing a trick on him.

After all, from his past experiences, he had never met anyone who was interested in him, but it was the heavyweights who stabbed him in the back.

Catalina, who had once made a vow to him, chose to abandon him.

Maribel, who was pulled out of the slums and carefully raised, finally chose to betray.

Therefore, human hearts are the most unpredictable. Having experienced all this, Irons cannot take it for granted how others treat him based on his momentary performance.

What's more...the time he spent with Margaret was very short.

Although she had worked as his assistant for three years under the pseudonym Adela, Irons did not think that such a relationship with secrets and estrangement could produce any deep feelings.

So, when Adela left, Irons did not try to keep her, nor did he expect her to come back.

And this meeting with Margaret was just the first time she chose to take off her disguise and be honest with him.

In this situation, Margaret directly told him that she wanted him to be her husband. How could Irons accept it naturally at the first time?

During this Demon Castle meeting, Ains remained in a wooden state, acting as a quiet background board, waiting for the meeting to end.

He had to have a good talk with Margaret and find out what this woman was thinking.

The content of the meeting was nothing more than Margaret's remarks on some issues concerning the governance of the demons. Of course, the main focus was on matters between her and Ains.

Among the five demon lords, the attitude of the demon dragon Antana was the first to clearly oppose, followed by the succubus warden Sophia.

Although Sofia had directly choked Antana in the earlier conversation, she surprisingly did not agree with Margaret's decision.

But her attitude is obviously not as radical and straightforward as Antana's. She is tactful and does not say everything she wants. From this point of view, Sofia is obviously much smarter than Antana.

Apart from these two, the attitudes of the rest were much more moderate. Among them, the vampire lord Rosie even expressed that she could try to organize the wedding process.

Margaret naturally nodded in satisfaction at this proposal and entrusted all matters related to the wedding directly to Rosie.

In response, Irons thought to himself, "You really didn't ask me, the person involved, what I think... I haven't even said whether I agree or not, but you've already started thinking about the wedding..."

The remaining two demon kings with more special appearances expressed their agreement, but they only accepted it and did not clearly express their approval.

The ferocious beast Engla thought that the matter needed long-term consideration, while the tentacle Histaliga looked completely indifferent and did not express any opinion.

As for the five demon lords in front of him, or the demon lord who was more loyal to Margaret, they all had different attitudes. Irons didn't dare to imagine what kind of turmoil would happen in the entire demon realm if this news reached the ears of all thirteen demon lords.

After the meeting, Irons shook hands with the five demon kings one by one. Demon King Rosie even prepared a gift for him. It was a peculiar pendant inlaid with blood-red rubies. It looked a bit like a claw, but the overall outer contour was in the shape of an inverted cross.

Rosie personally lifted up Irons' hand, handed him the pendant, and said, "Mr. Irons, this is a gift from me on behalf of all the vampires. It is called the Abundance of Blood. Wearing it can enhance the vitality of your blood and nourish your qi and blood.

I also hope that the relationship between you and Queen Margaret will last forever and never change... I will pray for your relationship in front of the Blood Mother..."

No, big sister, your congratulations make it seem like I would be impolite not to agree, and what about eternal immutability... Besides, who is the Blood Mother? She sounds a bit strange...

However, you certainly can't hit someone who smiles at you. As the demon king with the best attitude towards him among the five demon kings, Irons could only nod and accept Rosie's blessings.

As for the next ferocious beast, Engla, Irons looked at this giant that he had to look up to face, as well as its heavy breathing, and felt some pressure in his heart for no reason.

"Huh... Luo Xi actually brought a gift. This makes me, an old man who was unprepared, a little embarrassed... How about this..."

As he spoke, Engela reached out and pulled out the huge animal tooth necklace hidden in his robe, then took out a fang from it and gave it to Irons.

"In your human terms, this is a beast king's fang. I came here in a hurry without any preparation, so I can only take this as a greeting gift. I hope you don't mind."

Ains waved his hands quickly and responded: "No, no, of course I don't mind. In fact, I didn't know I needed to accept gifts. Thank you for your trouble~"

The Fang of the Beast King... In the human world, those who can be called the Beast King are all famous disasters, or they are like the guardian beasts of the country.

Only the strongest and sharpest fang of each beast king can be regarded as the beast king's fang. Its rarity can be seen, and it has many uses.

As a material for magic potions, the powder of the Beast King's Fang is in short supply. Yes, it's just the powder. If he scrapes off a layer of skin from it and sells it on the black market, Irons can pay off all his debts to Helena!

The entire Beast King's Tooth is the legendary weapon embryo that all forging masters dream of, and the weapons forged with the Beast King's Tooth are also all famous legendary weapons.

Then there are such precious things. The big guy in front of me has a bunch of them hanging around his neck! Who on earth can use the Beast King's Fang like this?

And this ruthless man who has a neck full of beast king's fangs... this ruthless beast, has an unexpectedly kind attitude towards people, just like a highly respected old gentleman.

He smiled and nodded at Irons, then handed the Beast King's Fang to Irons, and then he held the book in one hand, supported himself with the other, and walked away on three feet like an animal.

The first two could still give gifts, but when it came to Histariga, there was really nothing good to give, so he could only shake hands with Ains with a hint of apology.

Although it was a handshake, looking at the densely packed tentacles of the tentacle monster in front of him, he couldn't tell which hand he was shaking... Was it even possible that it was actually a foot?

Next, it was Warden Sophia, whom Margaret and I had mentioned.

Well, she is unexpectedly capable and refreshing. She doesn't look like a succubus at all. Instead, she looks like a working woman. However, she is suitable for a position like judge.

Sophia didn't talk about anything with Irons. She just shook hands and came to Margaret to discuss some business matters. It was obvious that she didn't take the man who was about to become the devil's husband very seriously.

After shaking hands with these four people, it was time for the last and most troublesome one...

Irons looked down at the angry girl who was staring at him with her hands on her hips on the washboard, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Antana glared at Ains with her flaming dragon eyes, staring at him as he released his dragon might, threatening him as he did so: "Tsk, why would the Demon King choose a weak human like you as his consort...

Just wait, one day I will prove to the Demon King that she has made a mistake..."

Just when Antana was halfway through her speech, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed Antana's ears, and then twisted them tightly.

"Ahhh! It hurts! It hurts! Don't twist it, cousin! Don't twist it!!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Irons. My cousin has always been a bit unruly and has caused you trouble. Don't worry, I will take her down and give her a good lesson..."

The hands that strangled Antana belonged to Margaret's dragon maid, Finia.

After Finia finished speaking, she twisted Antana's ear and slammed it to the ground in front of Ains. The whole hall of the Demon King's Castle shook!

Then Finia smiled and dragged Antana out of the hall amid her wailing.

And from Antana's words of begging for mercy, Ains finally understood that Finia actually had a blood relationship with the Dragon Lord.

Irons couldn't help but look at Finia's tall figure and her chest, which was wrapped in the loose maid outfit, making it full and plump, even tight enough to make wrinkles.

I compared it with Antana, who was wearing a cool armor but didn't look sexy at all. I could only feel pity for her.

Tsk... They are cousins, and their blood relationship is so close, so why is there such a big difference...

Looking at the backs of the two dragon girls, Irons couldn't help scratching his head. When he turned around, Margaret was already standing beside him, looking at him with an intriguing smile, and then gently took his arm.

"Okay, now that you have met all the demon lords I need you to know, and now that we have finished our business, let's go take a rest~ My... husband~"

Chapter 26 I'm Scared

"You promised to find me a succubus wife..."

"That's me~ I have succubus bloodline, and a very high position~ My grandmother was the succubus queen at the time. If you want my succubus features to be more obvious, I can make my tail visible~"

As she spoke, the back of Margaret's skirt bulged slightly, and then a slender succubus tail with a heart-shaped diaphragm at the end came out from the gap in the skirt, swaying playfully from side to side, and even went around to Irons' hand and patted it.

Irons had nothing to say about this. It was obvious that Margaret had been plotting against him for a long time...

He sighed helplessly, took Margaret's arm and walked into the side hall, and asked curiously: "Margaret...when did you start to have this idea?"

"Well, it started in Blackwater City."

"…We weren't that familiar with each other back then…"

"Oh~" Margaret tilted her head and smiled slightly, then gently tapped Ains' cheek with her succubus tail and asked, "Who said that not long ago? Feelings are cultivated from strangers.

Whether we are familiar with each other or not doesn't seem to affect my liking for you later. What, Ains, do you want to go back on your word? Just because I am the demon king who has to be your partner now?"

"Um... okay, sorry. My bad."

"Woo~ What did you do wrong? You did nothing wrong, Ains, you have always been doing the right thing, you just met the wrong person..."

As she spoke, Margaret held Irons' hand with her own, then interlocked their fingers, raised her head and said, "But don't worry, this time, you met the right person..."

Irons looked at his hand that was tightly held by Margaret, grinned a little stiffly, and said: "This... who can say for sure, after all, people's hearts will change..."

Seeing Irons' expression, Margaret immediately understood what Irons was worried about. She let go of Irons' hand and asked, "You don't hate me, nor do you not believe me. You are just afraid, right?"

"..."

"You're afraid that I'll become the next Katarina and abandon you, right?"

"..." After a moment of silence, Irons looked at Margaret, nodded, and said, "Yes... Margaret, I'm scared. I'm scared that those people I'm familiar with will eventually become strangers, or in other words, I'm scared that those people I once trusted will reveal their true colors...

Margaret, I... I don't know how I should respond to you... I'm not ready to become your husband, so I may need to think about it..."

Margaret looked at Irons's somewhat confused expression. This was the first time she saw such a confused expression on this man's face.

Catalina, it was this woman again. Even if she didn't say her name, Margaret knew that all of Irons's worries came from that woman.

What exactly happened between Ains and Katarina? Margaret has been investigating the matter in the past few years since returning to the Demon King's Castle, but the final understanding was not particularly clear.

But she learned some secrets about Ains, Queen Katharina's shadow chancellor, a behind-the-scenes assistant who helped her rise from a frustrated princess to the throne by killing her rivals step by step with an iron fist.

Not surprisingly, this unknown shadow prime minister should be referring to Irons. But why did Irons help Katarina so much, but finally come to Blackwater, a small border town, to be the governor?

The reason behind this can probably only be understood by investigating the purge that swept the entire capital five years ago... However, no matter how Margaret used her intelligence network, she had no way of knowing the details of that purge.

Catalina's blockade of this information was comprehensive.

Therefore, Margaret still doesn't understand what kind of conflict happened between Irons and Catalina at that time.

But what is certain is that because of that incident, Irons has been vaguely blocking his heart all along. Margaret had already felt this since she changed her name to Adela in Blackwater City.

When Irons was with her, he almost never asked about her past, even though Margaret wanted him to ask, but Irons was indifferent.

It felt like an exchange, as Irons was telling Margaret not to care about her past.

I don’t care…How could I not care?

Margaret didn't know when she started to become curious about this man. From curiosity, she was gradually attracted to him and realized his specialness and unique charm.

From that moment on, she couldn't help wanting to dig out the secrets of this man, and the more she dug, the more Margaret was sure...

Damn, this woman Katarina is a bitch! She bullied a loyal minister like this, wouldn't her conscience hurt?

Even though he was abandoned and exiled, Irons neither chose to resist nor to give up on himself. Instead, he governed a small border town diligently and continued to contribute to that woman's country.

And looking at the thirteen demon kings around him, none of them is troublesome!

Anyone who is not loyal to me is a trouble. Even those who do not cause much trouble are rebellious. Some even want to build a new Demon King's Castle, and they think I can't see it.

Those who are loyal to themselves are only loyal to the devil. They want to be the devil's loyal subjects, but they don't care who the devil is.

Compared with this group of talented people, if I had a minister like Ains, I would wake up laughing in my dreams! That bitch Katarina actually abandoned him and exiled him! ?

The most important thing is... even though he has been abandoned, Irons still can't forget that woman!

Margaret was filled with jealousy for no reason. What was so good about Catalina? Wasn't it just that we met a few years earlier? Why didn't I meet Irons first?

Margaret took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and gave Irons an understanding smile. She nodded and said, "Of course, I said that it would be no problem for the Demon King's Castle to give you an extra set of knives and forks.

Anyway, I have only told this to the Demon Lord, and the other demons don’t know about it. There is no rush for things like marriage, I can wait for you to think it through~”

"..."

Seeing how tolerant Margaret was of him, Irons suddenly felt that he was being a little too hypocritical. Since Margaret was so sincere, he was still dragging his feet, which was a bit of a letdown for Margaret.

Otherwise... I'll just agree to it first. If Margaret really likes me, that would be great. But if she has any other purpose...

Forget it, it doesn’t matter. The worst that can happen is that I’ll be backstabbed once more. I’m used to being backstabbed anyway, so what does it matter if I’m backstabbed once more?

Thinking of this, Irons grinned and said to Margaret: "Well, Margaret, you don't have to wait. As for the matter of marriage...it's okay if you prepare first.

After all, even if you really want to tie me to the wedding, I can't refuse. I agree to be your husband.
