Fei’ouna was never a hard-hearted mother, so when Ai Lini made a fuss, she slowly loosened her arms from her chest, allowing the other to burrow into her clothes, pull aside her bra, and begin nursing skillfully.
Suck suck suck….
To be fair, this younger daughter really gave Fei’ouna peace of mind—she could eat and sleep, and wasn’t much trouble.
Look, she even fell asleep while eating.
At first, the little one could instinctively suckle a few times, but after a while, she completely stopped all movement and fell into a deep sleep.
And with that, it was such a waste~ Fei’ouna had originally planned to adjust her body’s condition and prepare to end her lactation period.
But because of her doting, she kept putting it off, causing her milk production to increase rather than decrease.
In that case, Fei’ouna could only add some extra ingredients to Yilisi’s coffee and milk tea.
Thinking this, she let out a playful, mischievous smile~
To be honest, her state just now was quite unfair.
In terms of appearance and figure, she looked both youthful and yet had a contrasting mature charm.
Although her first impression was that of a tall dragon-girl maiden, in reality, she was already the mother of two daughters.
….
In short, the future Fei’ouna hoped for was to become a perfect wife and mother—attending to bedchamber duties, housework, and child-rearing; nothing was more interesting than these.
Of course, before this crisis occurred, Yilisi’s plans for her beloved wife were the same.
But after last night’s frank exchange♀ with Fei’ouna, the Demon King’s thoughts had changed somewhat.
As everyone knows, the demon race is a very complex and abstract melting pot of many species.
Each race had its own independent royal court; the relationships between them couldn’t be called terrible, but they were only slightly better than with humans.
Nominally, Yilisi was the ruler of the demon realm recognized by all royal courts, and nominally controlled the entire demon allied forces.
But the actual situation was a mess of disunity.
Each royal court had its own ulterior motives and petty schemes, and even fought among themselves.
The final result was that they were beaten back step by step by humans, and their living territory was gradually eroded.
Yilisi was also quite helpless.
Although the Demon Dragon clan completely crushed most of the royal court members in individual strength, only the vampire clan could contend with them.
But if it came to king versus king, Yilisi, who could command the undead of hell to fight, was still too overpowered.
Because of this, she ascended the throne of the Demon King under the support of the other kings.
But the problem was that the population of the Demon Dragon clan was far too small. It might sound chilling to say, but all the demon dragons combined numbered barely a hundred, and there simply weren’t enough hands.
After dividing a few key front lines, leaving a few trusted allies in the United Royal Court, and stationing some guards at the Demon King’s Castle, there were basically no dragons left to use.
As for the other demons?
Of course, they would nominally obey Yilisi, but when it came to actual operations, that was a different matter.
Moreover, apart from her own demon dragons, she, as the Demon King, didn’t really trust those companions with a long list of misdeeds.
Especially certain low-intelligence green-skinned goblins that were disgusting just to look at—Yilisi had even entertained the terrible thought of exterminating them.
Selfishness and greed; these two words were permanently engraved in the minds of these goblins.
Their only use was that they were extremely numerous and could be used as disposable consumables.
And special attention had to be paid to their movements, because many times, it was the unruly and undisciplined behavior of these lowly creatures that prematurely exposed them or directly attracted human investigation.
Of course, when comparing bad apples, goblins were the ones Yilisi hated the most, but that didn’t mean other demons were any better.
But now was not a good time for settling scores, because recently, the frequency of human activity in the demon realm had increased significantly.
Moreover, through reconnaissance, it was learned that several elite adventurer parties from the Imperial Church were planning to gather in the border region.
In short, this was a precursor to war, so Yilisi was really short on manpower.
If sacrificing all goblins could revive one demon dragon, then Yilisi would agree to that deal without hesitation.
First, she didn’t think goblins were necessary; second, sometimes the existence of a single demon dragon could affect the entire course of the war.
If the demon dragon population could thrive—nothing too exaggerated, just double the current number—then Yilisi would dare to take the initiative and make humans once again recall the fear of being dominated by demons.
Although this idea was a bit fanciful, in reality, gaining +1 combat power was still possible.
Because in her castle, there was a noble lady who met the requirements.
That’s right, it was Yilisi’s queen, Fei’ouna.
Looking at the stats on paper, first of all, she had once been a battle-hardened hero, and was infected by perfect demonization to become a demon dragon.
Whether in physical strength or magical output efficiency, in theory, she had potential close to Yilisi’s.
Later, because during the taming period, she suffered the owner’s hexagram ✡️ incapacitation seal, Fei’ouna became a little kitten without claws and fangs.
Coupled with two rounds of egg-laying, it also invisibly placed a big debuff on her.
Especially the period when she was weakest, it brought Fei’ouna a considerable psychological shadow, and even led her to develop negative self-denial cognition.
So initially, out of safety considerations, Yilisi issued a house arrest order, not allowing Fei’ouna to leave the castle even half a step.
After all, she was both her darling and a great contributor to the demon race.
If anything happened to her, Yilisi would feel like the sky had fallen.
Fei’ouna, who was somewhat autistic, had no objection to this arrangement and gladly accepted it.
But this time, Yilisi had new plans.
According to intelligence, humans had set their sights on Fei’ouna.
Although it was unknown why, the Shield Hero who had once been regarded as a traitor and persecuted by them was now receiving special attention again after decades.
However, it was always right to take precautions.
In theory, no matter how well you hide a beauty in a golden house, it’s better to let Fei’ouna regain her confidence and become strong.
Seals and such were easy to remove—Yilisi could undo them with a single spell.
As for the weakening from egg-laying, it would also quickly disappear as time passed.
The key was whether she herself could overcome the shadow in her heart.
And our Demon King was too busy to find time to accompany her in regaining her fighting spirit.
So, before Fei’ouna brought her coffee, she could only write a short magical letter to Ka Xiya, who was far away at the border:
[New mission]
[Request A-level Corps Commander Ka Xiya to return to Demon King’s Castle]
[Note: This mission concerns your mother.]
Signed: [Demon King: Yilisi]
But to be fair, in theory, this matter should have been handled by Yilisi herself.
After all, back then, she was the one who personally crushed all of Fei’ouna’s dignity as a warrior.
