Chapter 138 The capital of demons 5 (2/2)

”oh my..! and why in the world would they try to kill you like that?”

”well the 300.000 cel bounty on my head probably had something to do with it...”

”3-300.000 cel?”

”yeah I pissed of the empire, now there's a huge bounty on my head... I might destroy the empire soon”

”d-destroy the empire... surely you are joking right?”

Mars gave a sigh before he gave a wide smile and spoke

”nope I'm starting to get real annoyed by the bounty”

”I-I see... well good luck with that”

”thanks”

after that there was a few moments silence before Mars downed his tea and stood up

”well then princess let's get going”

”sure...”

Velvet stood up from her chair and gave a bow to the king before she spoke again

”I hope what we have talked about today comes into function soon”

the king also stood up from his chair and reached out his hand to Velvet

”sure miss Velvet I'll send out the first trading caravan tomorrow morning”

Velvet gave a smile and reached out and shook the king's hand before she turned to Mars and spoke

”let's get going Mars, I'm sure my dear mother is furious”

”what you're saying and you smile doesn't match... well whatever, stand back”

Mars transformed his hand and slashed out into empty air with his claws soon a rift in space opened and stabilized into a portal where Mars gestured to with a teasing smile on his face

”lady's first”

”....s-sure”

Velvet stepped into the portal and disappeared, Mars then gave a nod to the king before he also stepped though and last but not least Victoria jumped through the portal right before it closed...

In Froset, more precisely in the crown princess room a portal opened scaring the servant that was waiting in the room awake, as the servant saw the portal she ran out of the room to inform the queen. Soon Velvet stepped out of the portal and 'looked' around before she gave a sigh and walked over and collapsed face first into her bed, when Mars saw her like that he commented

”that's not a very ladylike posture princess”

in response to Mars' comment Velvet began rolling from side to side in her bed until finally about a minute later she suddenly stopped and got up from the bed, them Mars' sharp ears picked up someone moving towards the room with hurried footsteps

”Velvet!”

as soon as the door was opened the queen walked in followed by numerous servants and yelled her daughters name

”dear mother”

Velvet lowered her head, meanwhile the queen walked up and embraced Velvet

”are you okay?”

”I'm fine dear mother”

the queen looked over Velvet a few more times before she turned to Mars and asked with a smile on her face

”I trust the talks with the king of Destra went well?”

Mars gave a nod

”it did, the first caravan will be sent off tomorrow”

”that's good... sorry Mars could you leave I need to have a talk with my daughter”

Mars gave a nod before he bowed to the queen

”at once your majesty”

leaving while ignoring the non-verbal pleas for backup from Velvet Mars walked out of the room before he grew out his horns and left the castle before he headed back to the old demon's courtyard were he found the girls laying in the sun seemingly very relaxed, Mars gave a wry smile before he spoke out

”I'm back”

”welcome back Mars”

Chloe rose from the blanket she was lying on and walked over and gave Mars a hug, Elsa followed after her and also gave him a hug, meanwhile Varvei was still sleeping in the sun Mars put on a teasing expression and walked over to her and squatted down next to her before he started slowly poking her check

”umm....”

first came a unladylike sound before she turned her head to the other side and kept sleeping

Mars stood up and walked to the other side before he squatted down next to her and poked her again

”umm...”

this time she slowly opened her eyes and blinked a few times

”It's Mars~”

then she grabbed his arm and pulled Mars down next to her before she hugged his arm and fell asleep again

'good grief...'

”that's no fair!”

Elsa protested and lay down next to Mars and hugged his arm close

”me too then”

Chloe lay down on top of Mars and curled up on his chest, like this the afternoon passed with Mars spending time with the girls

'well this is fine once in a while... besides i don't think I'll be able to see them a whole lot in the immediate future, after all I have a empire to dismantle'

Mars' eyes shone with a cold light, for annoying him the empire was going to fall
