I will admit that while I am attracted to you, I have no intention of giving you my heart or my body. \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon blinked several times as he wrestled with the weight of feeling both insulted and amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found it funny that Erica believed that he wanted her hand in marriage but... he also didn't like being compared with his less than sane father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't sure which misunderstanding to tackle first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Umm, mother... I do not believe that father-in-law was going to ask for your hand in marriage.\" Claire pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica looked back and forth between both of her daughters who seemed to be embarrassed for her and her cheeks turned slightly pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Abaddon suspiciously as she tried to hide her own building embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you... were not going to ask for my hand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would I do that when our children are about to be wed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragons typically do not care about normalcy and are only focused on taking what they want.

I asked a simple question born of only genuine curiosity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Curiosity killed the phoenix you know~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is not how the saying goes, now take your breasts off my back!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon merely shook his head as Audrina continued to harass another of her old friends while also delivering some not so veiled threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He prepared to put a stop to her behavior when he felt something invade his body from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down, he found Seras with a clawed finger embedded in his ribs and a cute yet stern pout on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, the rest of Abaddon's wives looked to be equally pissed off and beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon seemed to be unconcerned with his wound that was currently leaking blood and smiled at his wives without the slightest sense of discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something wrong, my loves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bekka: \"Are you trying to make us want to kill you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eris: \"Because it's working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie: \"You basically just admitted that you desired her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa: \"Are we not enough for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lailah: \"If you try to bed her, we are going to kill her in front of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seras: \"We are all that you need, beloved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian: \"We will remind you of that as many times as it takes if that is what you require.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they believed themselves to be intimidating Abaddon, the dragon was actually humored and more than a little aroused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His interest in Erica was practically nonexistent for several reasons, but perhaps he hadn't made that clear enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although... he was more than a little grateful for the misunderstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously, was there a better sight in existence than this one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apophis: \"Father, mothers, I do not like the look in your eyes so I feel I must remind you that we are in the company of outsiders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thea: \"Yea, so can you try to keep your love and insanity for each other in check until we go home..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mira: \"Is this one of those times where mommies and daddy go in their room for a few days and we don't see them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gabbrielle: \"It would seem so. Perhaps we will acquire another sibling within the near future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon and his wives only barely registered the words of their children as they seemingly could not take their eyes off each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all are making us very uncomfortable.\" Erica said as she pried Audrina off of her. \"Can you state your business with me before you make a mess of each other?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the table, Cypress and his wife both looked like they were seeing something that they shouldn't be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But where Cypress wanted to leave as quickly as possible, Jezebel almost seemed like she wanted to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon shook his head to free himself of dirty thoughts as he tried to return to a sense of normalcy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right... In addition to bringing your daughters home I've also come to give you notice. Fourteen days from now my armies will march on Renanin, just as we did Apeir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence that followed was deafening in volume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone who was hearing about this for the first time was completely taken aback and rightfully so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like Renanin and Samael were about to join hands in the near future and prosper together, but now Abaddon was claiming that there would be war instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this some kind of a fucking joke?!\" Erica asked angrily. \"If so I find it to be highly unpleasant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is no joke, Erica.\" Abaddon said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phoenix queen looked back and forth between the man who would be her invader and her two children who were still within the arms of their loved ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't understand! Why would you spout off about our children getting married if your only intent was to raze my lands to the ground!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have nothing to do with this.\" Abaddon said calmly. \"Whether our children fell in love with each other or not, I would still have to take action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why!? What reason could you possibly have for wasting the lives of millions!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon did not answer and instead stared calmly at the irate woman opposite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard! Do you truly think of nothing but conquest and slaughter?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica began to lose control of herself and she started to produce rainbow colored flames from her fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked up closely to Abaddon as if she were going to burn him and no one around could even think to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Contrary to your beliefs, I do not want to do this. If you give me your lands voluntarily, there will be no need for-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica raised her hand like she was going to slap Abaddon across the face, but before she could even blink Audrina had caught her arm and Seras had pointed a bloody spear at her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We aren't going to let you touch him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of you... GET OFF OF ME!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica's entire body went up in flames, but neither Seras or Audrina so much as flinched from the heat and they didn't budge an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Audrina's hand didn't even seem to be showing any signs of burning despite being so close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Girls, let her go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Darling, are you sure you-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's dangerous, husband-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's alright. It isn't as though I wouldn't deserve it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of the girls looked like they were more than a little unwilling to comply, but because Abaddon seemed to be absolutely sure about this they did so anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Erica was still seething with rage, and her rainbow flames had yet to disperse themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why... are you doing this...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I cannot tell you that. But if you want to avoid this unpleasant fate then you need only sign over Renanin to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would rather die than hand my lands over to you on a silver platter. The hell do you take me for!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I figured.\" Abaddon said in a rather uncaring tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is your goal, demon?\" A new voice suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon glanced at Cypress out of the corner of his eye and felt his own irritation rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are going to swallow up all of the lands within our world, satisfied only when you have conquered them all? You are a black hole of carnage that threatens to destroy everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, such words would not have gotten to the dragon, but he had already reached his threshold of tolerance for Cypress when he saw him glaring at Eris earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone saw him move he was right beside the elf once again, his eyes glowing bright enough to light up a dark room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am what circumstances have made me. My every attempt to live my life in peaceful seclusion with my wives and children has been met with one annoying interference after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if I must swallow up the entirety of this world so that we can live happily, I will do it. Now I would suggest you be silent, elf. Or I might set it in mind to burn down your lands next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is only so much disrespect that a man can endure before he decides to take action, and Cypress was very quickly reaching his threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was wary of Abaddon, he wasn't going to let him threaten his lands and people without making his displeasure known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes started to glow green and a fierce pressure blew throughout the room at the same time that the pressure increased tenfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon felt like he could vaguely see several strange silhouettes behind the elven king, and he nearly raised a brow in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Curious indeed...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will save Erica the trouble of dealing with you and expunge you from this world myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No you won't, Cypress!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica's authoritative voice cut through all of the tension between the two men and the oppressive atmosphere immediately disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want my lands? Fine. I hope you understand that you'll have to kill me for them, Abaddon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not going to happen.\" Abaddon waived his hand and another portal opened up in the center of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I made a promise with my two daughters-in-law. No matter how much you struggle, or how piss poor your attitude becomes, I will not kill you and neither will my wives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, members of Abaddon's family started walking through the portal and heading home, leaving Erica reeling from yet another shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking towards her daughters, a look of betrayal could be seen on her face as she grappled with the weight of this revelation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two... you knew he was going to do this...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother... he truly does not have a choice.\" Claire said apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We cannot tell you why this is happening at this time but... You should know that he has no impure intentions for our home, and nothing will change.\" Added Jasmine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica was no longer sure of what to say, but her heart started to break when she watched her two daughters head towards the portal with their loved ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're choosing him over me...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course we aren't! But this conflict... it is truly bigger than us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are going to stay in Antares for the time being...We don't want to make it seem like we are choosing sides.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire and Jasmine released their fiancés for a brief moment and ran to hug their mother once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to Erica's consistent shock, she did not maintain the presence of mind to return their affections and simply stood there motionlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When her daughters released her, they both had tears in their eyes as they ran through the portal, Thea and Apophis following behind them worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon took one last glance at Erica before turning his back and walking away as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Erica... we are family now. That means that I will make up for all of this unpleasantness at a later date. Irregardless of what you may require from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the portal finally closed, Erica snapped back to reality as she ran her hands through her fiery red hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this made practically no sense to her, and she couldn't even begin to understand how or why things had gotten to this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was one thing she knew for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cypress... I'm requesting an alliance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elven king felt his ears perk up a bit as he saw a look of determination on Erica's face that he hadn't seen in centuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The two of us... we are going to kill Abaddon if it requires everything that we have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2054,"2026-06-03T10:36:32.717Z","2026-06-03T10:36:37.499Z",1,"novelbin.me","6e54280c720376b8dc8c60c2d1ab0029a2b75591a7809e2717b6a85f7e26ee16","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-305","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-303",1284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffirst-demonic-dragon-cover.jpg"]
