My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires.

Victor walked through his Castle with confident, heavy steps, and a noble bearing fit for a King, all the way to his private chambers, where he would meet a troublesome woman. The subordinate Demons who had joined him in the last war he initiated bowed in reverence every time he passed through the halls.     

All of them were Lesser Demons tasked with cleaning the Castle and passing on Victor's orders if necessary. Most of them were female Maids.     

Victor didn't know how much time had passed since he'd entered that Castle and taken the Title of the King of Hell. For him, it was as if those events happened just yesterday.     

But he knew that it wasn't. Learning about the history of Hell, the internal politics of Higher Demons, and how Demons came to exist, all of this ancient knowledge was very easy for Victor to Master. He already had the memories of the Pillars Demons he'd absorbed, Demons that had been alive for a long time.     

In terms of politics, everything was even easier.     

Demons respected strength, and Victor was the strongest, and using that strength, he reformed all of Demon society.     

Society was now built on a merit system.     

Lineage, Ancient Clans, influence, it all didn't matter.     

If you were talented and valuable, you would rise through the ranks and receive a reward directly from the King.     

The reward, most of the time, being a Power boost.     

In a nutshell, Victor transformed the entire Race of Demons into a Race of warriors that directly served him.     

And despite having done that, he insisted on giving opportunities to everyone. After all, he understood that in such a society, all other Demons that were not 'warriors' would be exploited, and the society would not progress.     

In his kingdom, there was room not only for warriors but for Demons who worked logistics and even Demons who sought to know the very history of Demons.     

Even research Demons who sought new ways to improve the Demons' meager technology were highly prized.     

Although not everything was rosy. Demons, at the end of the day, we're still Demons, Beings of Sin, and completely repressing that nature was counterproductive.     

Demons that had gotten stronger were often seen abusing weaker Demons, and Demons that had gained influence were often seen taking advantage of those that hadn't.     

To prevent this kind of thing from happening too much, an Arena was built, and duels to solve those problems were created.     

Do you have a problem with me? Let's fight and settle this.     

1 x 1, no clout, no nothing, just me and you.     

Surprisingly, this idea was very successful, and the occurrence of Demons abusing their new authority declined.     

This was because when one lost in the Arena when such a duel was held, the Demon who lost usually forfeited their government position to the Demon who won.     

Something that, in their opinion, was very bad. Being close to the new King was something of immense pride for these Demons.     

Another thing that happened was that the Arena became a frequent meeting place for bloodthirsty Demons who liked to fight.     

Victor even decided to give 'prizes' for events that took place in the Arena. As long as the request was within reason, the winner would get anything they wanted.     

Such a place matched the Demons' mentality quite well and spawned several other small jobs for Demons as a result of the Arena's growth in popularity.     

An example of this was little Demons with wings that had the ability to travel very fast. They were weak Beings and not worthy of attention, but... They were the perfect 'delivery boys'.     

They were known to have traveled to even the farthest corners of Hell, and due to years spent on the run from predators, they knew Hell inside and out.     

Surprisingly, these little Demons were becoming like a company selling products and delivering goods in Hell, and they were getting very rich.     

They were also the Demons who were the most fanatical of the new King, claiming that such an opportunity would not arise if Victor did not rise to power.     

Thus, due to these matters and several others…     

The change in Demon society was surprisingly smooth, and there weren't many complaints.     

Demons were 'modernizing', and even the Hell fields used to punish sinners were becoming more... efficient.     

Instead of eternal punishment, the punishment was now done with a stick-and-carrot system.     

The eternally suffering Souls would have a day of rest, and on that day, they enjoyed all the essential 'luxuries' of a normal Human being, and the next day their punishment would return.     

This method worked very well, and most Souls in Hell started to move on. Apparently, the fear of not enjoying life's 'basic' luxuries was much more terrifying than endless torture.     

After all, after thousands of years, they could get used to the pain and become dull. However, when these Souls were presented with simple pleasures, they remembered what their life was like and wished to get that back, leading to repentance for their sins and a desire to move on to reincarnation.     

Of course, this privilege was only for the Lowest Levels of sinners, Beings who had committed sins but ones which weren't unforgivable sins. Victor didn't even bother changing the punishment in the Unforgivable Sins session.     

For him, those souls could suffer eternally, and he wouldn't even care.     

Along with his three Generals: Vine, The Destroyer; Vepar, The Proud; and Helena, The Strategist, Victor had complete control of Hell.     

By the way, the Titles were not decided by him. It was the Demons who chose to call the Generals that way.     

Victor himself was called the Tyrant King.     

Apparently, those Titles were born from their actions.     

Once, in her rage over a Demon who clearly disrespected Victor, Vine personally visited the man's territory and sank the entire place in storms, destroying it entirely, which gave her the Title of The Destroyer.     

The three Generals were very loyal to the King, and any insult to the King would bring about severe consequences, a mentality shared by all the Demons that 'followed' Victor in his conquest since the beginning.     

These Demons were fanatics, and they glorified the name of Victor as if he were a God of The New World, The Messiah of Hell, the very Antichrist.     

And the popularity of these thoughts grew with each passing day.     

As a former Human, Victor didn't know how to feel about the 'Antichrist' Title. He didn't expect the Demons' fanaticism to grow so much that it would lead them to call him by that name.     

'Well, at least they're in my control… And it's not like I haven't been called worse names by the masses.' Victor tried to be content with that fact, and he tried not to care.     

Entering a room, Victor looked at a woman.     

By adding the merit system, it gave all Demons opportunities to rise through the ranks, something that was not wasted by this woman, who quickly demonstrated her political skills and became one of the most influential figures in politics among the Higher Demons.     

Because of this woman 'reinforcing' the notion of how 'powerful' the current King was to the High-Level Demons, his reign was relatively smooth.     

The woman was not wrong, Victor was powerful, but Victor himself knew that this woman had exaggerated his depiction for those who did not know him personally. He was absolutely sure that the exaggerated nicknames of 'Antichrist' and the 'Messiah of Hell' were started by her.     

She was further enhancing Victor's reputation in Hell.     

This woman's name was: Lily Baal née Lucifer, the Wife of Former Rank 1 Baal.     

The daughter of the First King of Hell, Lucifer.     

Apparently, the name 'Lily' was a tribute to 'Lilith', Lucifer's former Wife and Lily's mother.     

Why Former Rank 1 Baal? Well, Victor destroyed the Demonic Pillar system.     

He was the one who ruled above all.     

He was the one above all, he was the King, and no one would question his authority.     

The only ones in a position to question Victor on something and give advice were his Generals and the Elders of Hell, the oldest Demons in Hell. They were the only ones Victor ALLOWED to be able to question him.     

Victor did not consider himself perfect or think he would never make mistakes, so seeing other points of view was essential.     

That was the lesson he'd learned from living with his Wives.     

"Lady Baal," Victor spoke in a neutral, heavy tone that carried the Majesty of a King, the authoritative weight of one, and the pressure of a strong warrior.     

The woman with long black hair tipped with red, the sinful body of a Succubus, and blood-red eyes smiled seductively at Victor.     

Like Helena, she had her Succubus features, horns on her head, a thin tail, and two leathery wings behind her.     

She got up from where she was sitting, bowed in respect, and spoke eloquently:     

"Your Highness, The Strongest Individual In Hell, The King Among Kings, the one even my Father would be wary of facing, I am delighted to see you."     

"Cut the fawning Lady Baal. What do you want?"     

"Can I not visit you just to see your dazzling beauty that surpasses even the most handsome of Gods, like Apollo?" She spoke the God's name dismissively, indicating that comparing Victor's beauty to Apollo was disrespectful to Victor.     

"...." Victor raised an eyebrow in amusement at this woman. She had a way with words; that was a fact. He walked toward the sofa before a fireplace filled with blue flames.     

He crossed his legs, rested his face on his fist, and spoke in a bored but authoritative tone:     

"Sit down."     

Watching all this with the same smile, Lily nodded and sat down in front of Victor as she looked at the man in full plate armor and his long black hair floating around covered in dark Miasma.     

She wasn't lying when she said she came here to savor the beauty of the new King. It was common sense in the female Demon community that the new King was the most handsome man in Hell and even the Supernatural World. It was no exaggeration to say that all female Demons were left with 'soggy panties' at just the sight of the man and experienced wild fantasies of the man 'devouring' them in bed.     

She was one of them.     

So what if she was married? She was a Demon, a Being of Sin. She was never interested in anyone before because her husband, Baal, was enough. He wasn't ugly either, but Baal looked like a fat, hairless mouse in front of the new King.     

Part of the reason she quickly rose through the new Ranks was just to observe the new King on a daily basis, but she was still very jealous of the Generals.     

The other reason was to ensure her own safety. As she became someone important in the new society, the new King was unlikely to kill her when he eliminated Baal.     

Lily didn't even feel pity or pain at that thought. In truth, she didn't care much as long as she stayed alive and got what she wanted.     

She was a cruel woman, like all female Demons; that was their nature, after all.     

When her foolish father left, she married Baal, the Former Rank 1, to survive and have time to get stronger. Her Lineage was also very valuable, as Lucifer and Lilith's direct daughter.     

When the new King, Diablo, rose to power, she supported the new King along with her husband, who was very loyal to Diablo.     

When Diablo lost power and Victor rose as the new King, she was fascinated by how in just a few short years, he had changed Demon society, and she quickly seized the chance to become someone irreplaceable in the new Government.     

'A society that values merit over Lineage and Clan?' She found this thought fascinating. At first, she thought it wouldn't work out, but the new King proved her wrong.     

Nowadays, a Lesser Demon in charge of logistics and internal affairs involving Alucard's Government had more political power than an Ancient Demonic Pillar. Alucard's army and Alucard himself protected all those Demons that were part of Alucard's Government; thus, things could function correctly.     

After all, without them, society could not function.     

Proof of that was Lily herself. Even though she was strong, she still had several Elite Demons by her side for her protection because of the position she'd acquired as the one who handles the Superior Demons and all forms of internal politics.     

"Helena wouldn't let you talk to me if you didn't have something significant to discuss."     

Lily narrowed her eyes a little when she heard Helena's name.     

"... Indeed."     

Helena, The Strategist, as the Demons called her, was one of Victor's Generals, The Daughter of Gremory. She had an exceptional talent for making large-scale strategies and extended plans that lasted several years.     

She proved her potential to the King by dominating several Pillar-Rank cities with just a few Demons.     

She and the four hand-picked commanders were responsible for Alucard's new Government's Internal and External Policies. She was also Lily's 'superior', and the two often worked together.     

…Rumor had it that she and the other two Generals warmed the King's bed at night.     

'Lucky bitch.' Lily was never one to envy anyone. After all, she was born with everything, good Lineage, Power, and influence, but she envied the three Generals a lot.     

Vine, and her four commanders, were responsible for War and Training the new Demon forces. Essentially, they were the Military Section of Victor's army.     

Vepar, and her four commanders, were responsible for Logistics and Administration of the immense place called 'Hell'. This group was also responsible for the administration of the various 'Hells' where sinful Souls suffered Eternal Punishment.     

Not counting, of course, Helena, as mentioned earlier.     

This group was the 'core' of the Government under the new Demon King and the Pillars of the New Society.     

"Your Majesty would find out eventually. I know how competent Lady Helena is in tracking down the forces that walk in the shadows, which is why I decided to tell you myself."     

"…Oh?"     

"My son, Luka… That fool." She spoke dismissively at the end, in a tone mixed with sadness, "He has joined the Faction of Demons composed of Ancient Pillars and is planning an attack on this place in an attempt to kill you."     

"..." Victor didn't even blink at that information; this was something common. There was always a group of Demons who were against what Victor was doing, most of them being Ancient Demons who refused to adapt to the new society.     

Victor didn't think much of them. They were just a bunch of weak Demons who cried like immature bullies who had lost their right to 'beat' the weak and vulnerable.     

Ultimately, they would all become dog food or be paraded around the public square with ice spikes skewering their bodies.     

"And what is your purpose in telling me this, Lady Baal? Do you want a lighter punishment for your son again?"     

"Wrong. I want to punish him myself in front of you."     

"…Heh?"     

"I have already taken advantage of our exalted King's kindness. I have asked for clemency once and punished him with such torture in the hope that the foolish and rebellious mind he inherited from his father would not dare think of such things again."     

"... But that fool spat on my efforts and repeated the same mistake. And Your Highness, you know very well that I hate to make useless efforts." Lily spoke with a vicious venom in her words that surprised Victor a little internally.     

"I've told everyone I know a million times that your Majesty's greatness surpasses even my Father's, but that fool acts as if he were born with mental disabilities and never listens to me… Did I hit him too hard?" Lily rambled.     

'Loyalty, disappointment, annoyance, and...excitement, huh.'     

Victor's ability to 'Empathize' was a secret only he knew. The Demons close to him all believed that Victor was just good at analyzing other Beings.     

Which was not a lie either, but not the complete truth.     

In front of the King's eyes, no lie could be hidden.     

'She is disappointed in her son and wants to punish him, but also wants to show her loyalty by telling me about it in person, hoping that, by doing so, I will trust her more... She is also excited to see me in person..' The final part didn't come as a surprise to Victor. All female Demons felt that way in his presence, including his Generals.     

'Cunning... Very cunning. She really takes every chance to increase her position, even using her own son.' But, of course, Victor couldn't hate someone like that. After all, she was doing something that benefited him a lot.     

Lily was, without a doubt, a genius and a powerful woman. She could have easily been one of his Generals if he had found her first.     

Victor's smile grew a little.     

And that demonstration made Lily stop slowly and look at Victor with shock. She had never seen him smile before. Then, unconsciously, she felt a shiver run down her spine, her instincts telling her that his following words would be something important…important enough to raise her position even further.     

"Lily, you came to me personally to rat out your own son. I very much appreciate that loyalty."     

"Thank you, Your Majesty."     

"Therefore, a reward is necessary."     

"… Eh?" She didn't expect those words.     

"But before the reward, I want you to do something for me." Victor's smile grew in a way that would terrify Demons.     

Lily shuddered, and she felt her insides clench at what she was seeing:     

"Deal with this situation alone. Kill everyone, torture everyone; I don't care. Make such a bloody example of these worthless ones that my previous attempts to send a warning will seem like child's play."     

"Complete this task. If I am impressed, I will grant any wish you want."     

"...A-Anything?"     

"Yes, but don't forget, you have to impress me. After all, you've seen how I deal with those who threaten me, right?"     

Lily nodded. The image of several Demons put on display in horrendous ways in the middle of the square for everyone to see was stained into the minds of all who witnessed the cruelty that few could achieve. After all, the Demons were displayed in such a way that they stayed alive and suffering. She didn't know what Victor did, but the way the Demons screamed in pain was definitely not normal.     

"Outdo me, impress me." Victor got up from where he was sitting and gently lifted Lily's face.     

The half-succubus looked into the man's entrancing violet eyes.     

"Fulfill my expectations, Lily. And you will have everything you want."     

"I know very well how much you envy the position of my Generals. Do you want it for yourself? I have a job only a competent woman as you can do."     

Recently, Vepar had been grumbling to Helena that she had a lot of work to do to manage the Internal Logistics and the Sinners' Hells... Therefore, if Lily fulfills my expectation, I will place her as the General in charge of the Sinners' Hells and ease Vepar's work.'     

The Sinners' Hells were very important because that was where the Demons came to exist. Having control of that place was like having control of the future generation of Demons, so it was a place that Victor personally managed, but he couldn't always stay there. After all, he needed to train and get stronger, not to mention that he would not always be in Hell in the future, and having someone loyal and fanatical who would do everything for him in control of that place was ideal.     

'Let's see if I can corrupt Baal's Wife.'     

He softly caressed Lily's cheek and smiled gently:     

"I will be awaiting your report."     

"Do not disappoint me, Lily Baal."     

She was breathing heavily as the Demon King left the room, and when the door was closed, she looked down and noticed the entire sofa wet. She lightly touched her breasts and realized that her nipples were hard as a rock.     

"Fuck … This damn man is so hot and irresistible. The worst part of it all is that he knows it and uses it to manipulate others." She bit her lips sensually, holding back the urge to relieve herself. It would be disrespectful to do that in the King's Castle.     

"Now, I understand why male Demons drooled when my mother used her Charm to get them to do whatever she wanted."     

She also understood why the current Government's top echelon was made up only of women. With a man like that around, it was easier to control everything when competent women were in power, and all those women fanatically served only one man.     

The perfect way to avoid corruption.     

'I NEED to relieve myself...' Lily quickly got up, flapped her wings, and hurried out the nearest window.
