One by one they step into the portal and I follow close behind watching Tandy's ass as we walk. The scenery changes to a mountain landscape on the other side of the portal. Angela and Darcy look around with curiosity as I step ahead to lead the way to The Ancient One's room.
I ignore the looks from the monk apprentices as we make our way through the halls. The layout is similar to an old monastery making it overly complex with rooms that have no use anymore.
Once we reach her room her voice comes from inside before I can knock "Come in." She says. I slide the door open revealing her at her desk writing on parchment with a brush as if it were still the ancient era.
She looks up and sees me with the other girls and gives us a smile. "That's her?" Darcy asks, whispering to me "She is like, really hot for being bald."
I smirk as I whisper back "She can hear you." my words cause her to blush as The Ancient One smiles at her.
"Thank you for the compliment. I am the Matron of the Lower Harem, you'll be seeing a lot of. Especially if you get into a lot of trouble." She says with a small teasing smile.
Darcy looks confused "What's the 'Lower Harem'?"
"It just means any woman who I am involved with that is not a main wife," I reply putting a hand on her back.
"So how many are in it?" She asks a bit apprehensive.
"Seven at the moment, you and six people who work under Tandy. All it really means is I'll take requests from main wives over Lower Harem and I'll take Lower Harem over anyone else." I say matter-of-factly.
She nods thinking about it as I smile at The Ancient One "Are you coming with us?"
"Of course. It is rare the husband makes a request, I need a break anyway." She says standing up brushing off her robes.
"Oh, did you know that Legion has been lingering in the Astral Plane?" The Ancient One asks me a bit confused.
I give her a baffled look "What? Since when could he even enter the Astral Plane?" I ask with a bit of a laugh.
She shrugs "I saw him fighting some abomination demons along with humans, they called themselves the Sons of Sattanish. Legion was killing them by himself while they tried to flee the plane."
(A/N: She means falsely created demons. Also, my Asmodeus is Azazel and Asmodeus combine aka no affiliation to SoS.)
"Sons of Sattanish? What, they worship a middle manager of demons? Stupid. I did tell Legion to deal with small problems by himself. I guess he considers them a small problem so it is fine I guess. Also, you got close enough to hear them not only to watch?" I ask with curiosity.
"I won't turn down a free show." She says with a bit of a joking smirk.
I roll my eyes. It's rare for her to joke and they are always mediocre. I raise my arm to the doorway, a Hell Gate raises from the ground, wider and grander than Asmodeus'. The gates swing open revealing my second palace behind it.
I lead the way in since I don't want the girls to be uncomfortable. Through the gate is the city of Tir Na Nog, Arawn and his wife have worked so hard on. I appear on the steps of my palace that stands almost a hundred meters above the residential city on a small mountain.
On different sides of the mountain, there are mansions and castles owned by the other Hell lords. Even Hades has a palace here, I assume his wife enjoys staying here every so often. One by one the girls pop up next to me on the steps.
Darcy is surprised by me since my devilish form came out naturally. My wings are darker black than before due to the overwhelming Hell power around. My horns and crown are out along with my spiked tail that Darcy has never seen. Also, I stand at over eight and a half feet tall so I don't blame her for getting spooked.
Unlike most other hells the area above us looks like a true sky like the earth with a sun. If you look far enough north or east you can see an infinite ocean. Look past the city to the west or south and you can see the forest of the infinite hunt.
Sinners are sent there to be hunted and killed over and over again until their time of redemption comes. Arawn was a hunter before he joined me so he modeled his hell after his interests. I know he has a mansion in the forest since I can feel it through the realm. I assume he hunts every so often still.
The closest mansion to mine is Arawn's on a perch of the hill only a few hundred meters away. A winding path connects the mansions of the different lords and leads down to a gate leading to the main strip of the city.
"The city is beautiful," Tandy says admiring the seemingly Byzantine-style spires and Roman-style buildings. The spires wind with large spiral staircases going up them hundreds of feet with bulbous tops to them with a green and gold hue lining each building and spires roofs.
"I agree, this city must be at least a thousand miles long and a few hundred deep. This must have taken forever to build with such detail." The Ancient One says with admiration.
I nod "He started building it 4000 years ago doing one structure at a time to maintain the high quality."
"Why can we see so far into the distance? Shouldn't it disappear around the curve eventually?" Darcy says as she looks at the infinite forest.
"That's because this realm is flat. Also, the sun never goes down it only dims once every 18 hours for 6 hours at a time." I say with a small smile looking at the stunned Angela.
"So how is it compared to Heven?" I ask with a joking smile.
"Grand." She admits.
I nod "Arawn did a great job after all. Would you all like to see the mansion first or the city?"
Tandy looks at the Ancient One who only smiles at her. "I guess we should look at our home first." I nod as I push open the massive doors to the palace.
The girls walk in ahead of me and are greeted by a grand entrance hall with fifty-foot tall ceilings. The main stairs lead up and to both sides, while both sides of the room have large open doors, one leads to a sunroom/mini-garden, and the other leads to the massive library.
In front of us stands a human-looking demon with a butler suit on in a purplish-black that matched his horns. He looked to be in his late fifties so probably around 70,000 years old really. His eyes are entirely black with no whites, he has white hair and a small white goatee.
He bows deeply as the girls notice him "We are Sebastion, a wrath demon as well as your personal butlers Queen Consorts."
Upon seeing me enter he drops to a knee "My King."
I nod to him "Show the girls around wherever they want."
He nods as he stands still with a lowered head. His shadow rises from the ground creating four more copies of himself. Each one kneels in front of a girl while his main body stays bowing towards me.
"Just tell me where you would like to go." The four copies say in unison.
The Ancient One is the first to reply holding up a hand. "No need for now." She says walking straight into the open Library door.
'Now that is dangerous.' I think to myself.
