26: Talk

After Byron received the update on everything that happened, it was his turn to update his children: "First, I want to tell you all: I'm a little closer to becoming a Divine Rank Demon." Everyone (I don't remember if I wrote this before if I did, forgive me.) besides Victor, the human male that Markus brought with him to Tartarus Archipelago to meet Byron. "R-really!? Father, this is wonderful!" Harold shouted while smiling from ear to ear with happiness written all over his face. His siblings obviously weren't different, they were happy for their father! "Check this out!" Byron completely went against his wise and noble appearance and acted childishly, showing off the changes in his body.

A new pair of wings appeared in his back, his new bat-like wings were light red. His four wings, two black and two red moved up and down, making Byron float easily. Also from his back, another tail appeared, it was like his other tail with a blade attached to it.

His children were looking in awe at his new pair of wings and his new tail with envy... It was so cool! Evy instantly teleported beside Byron and started to touch his wings, her siblings didn't resist and one after the other started to touch Byron's wings and tail. Byron laughed while Jean and Victor just stayed there, looking confused at the always serious Demon Kings and Queens who would rule over their islands with pride and powerful hand showing now a childish side together with their father... It was an extremely cute family moment!

"*cough* Okay, that's enough." Byron returned to the serious mode, all his children stopped playing around and returned to where they were before. "I would like to be updated later about the planets that I gave you all, also, Tartarus Planet is now in alliance with Xandar, a technologically advanced planet hundred times more interesting than Earth. I bought some technologies to study and upgrade Tartarus's Technology level, so Kevin, I will give you some advanced technologies so you can play with it later." Kevin quickly thanked Byron with a little excitement in his voice: "Thank you, father."

"Now, Alexandra, Markus, Harold, and Evy. I will you all to Xandar so you can have fun~ You can take your lovers with you if you want too." Kevin's little happiness instantly died, he looked at his father with a little bit of sadness in his eyes. "Don't worry Kevin, you will have your turn later... Now, let's talk about the present and not the future. Tell me, Alexandra, Markus, how is your relationship going?" Byron could visibly see that both Jean and Victor were uncomfortable with this talk, but Byron wants to know! "Well father, I took responsibility," Alexandra said making her best poker face, but Byron could see that she actually was blushing hard inside her heart.

"Me too. I will marry him." After Markus said it, Victor shouted: "Hey! We've been dating for almost four months now, last month you told me and showed me about this whole beautiful world that you live in, and now you talk about marriage? Isn't it too soon!? We just had sex yesterday and you already want to marry me!!" Victor blushed hard when he noticed that all the eyes in the room were on him, he noticed what he said and wished that the ground would open and eat him. "*cough*" Byron coughed and sighed before laughing, his laugh echoed on the throne room but everyone besides Jean and Victor was seemingly unaffected. "Anyway... For humans, this must be quick, but the faster someone gets married the better. We demons like to have a bond because we are, at least from starting from Noble rank, immortals. We still can be killed, but time has no effect on our bodies anymore."

"Also, I'm thinking about getting married..." After Byron said it, all his children shouted: "NO!" He looked confused at all his children, they blushed and backed away hiding their faces. "It seems like I raised some father-con children..." Byron's comment and chuckles made all his children a little mad and making them throw a tantrum. After they calmed down, Alexandra started saying: "Listen, father, no woman can easily handle you. Your body would kill her, or we would kill her." All the siblings nodded their heads making 'hum, hum', agreeing with their sister.

"Oh? Why so?"

"Well, you see... Eh... A-ah... JUST DON'T!"

"Bwahahahaha!"

Because his children didn't any excuse for why he shouldn't marry, he just laughed and her this matter to the side and focused on what he would do now... Everything was peaceful, too much peaceful. "Listen, Children, I want you all to create an army of your own. They will be trained to be the elite of elites, I want them to be ready for anything. You Kevin, together with Evy, will create a medical team that will use technology and magic to help anyone when needed." Everyone on the throne room noticed that Byron was serious, they looked at him with curiosity, why their father was being so serious? Byron laughed and said: "Everything is peaceful, too much peaceful. I feel like something is going to happen, something big that might even destroying the whole universe."

The atmosphere was so tense you could cut it with a knife!

Byron just laughed and continued with his careless attitude.
