Hunt them out

Three weeks had passed since the news of Haru's pregnancy. Although it was something that should be celebrated grandly, the Royal Family decided to keep it from the public's knowledge as they have yet to capture the elusive Duke Pier and his few remaining cohorts. Furthermore, both the Light and Water Palace were places of schemes and corruption. Numerous spies and assassins were hidden everywhere, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. To those cunning fiends, a vulnerable pregnant woman was a welcome target.

Even so, Haru and Adis decided to stay in Water Palace for the entire duration of her first trimester for many obvious reasons; the water and air in Atlantis had healing effects on pregnant women, and Haru became easily nauseous when traveling even for a short while. Frost had warned them not to use the teleportation towers as the space in between may have a negative impact on the mother and child.

The Divine Protection had been completely absorbed by the little life inside her after just a week of their discovery, hence the security throughout Atlantis, especially around her, became suffocatingly tight. The Eros was still in full effect on her body but Frost advised them that the Eros may gradually be sucked by the baby on her second trimester while the Geyser of Life would be gone on her third trimester. All the three blessings would resume its normal effect on her body once the child finally came out.

In those past weeks, Haru and Adis became inseparable while staying in Atlantis. Adis refused to rely on the servants and personally took care of all her needs; from the temperature of her bathwater, food, clothes, security, and up until lulling her to sleep at night, he made sure to always be there for her all the time.

At the moment, as everyone in Atlantis was already sound asleep, two souls were still intimately entangled on the bed and enjoying the feeling of each other's skin. The man was gently grinding his pelvis against the delicate woman beneath him while greedily lapping her luscious lips. The woman's lower body was twitching as she wrapped her arms around the man's neck and shoulder, basking in the overwhelming feeling of orgasm that successfully consumed her mind and body.

"Ngh! Aahh, Adis, it feels... good," Haru sweetly moaned against Adis' lips.

Her eyes were tightly shut and eyebrows were creased as she welcomed the bliss of being his. Her hands traveled down to Adis' buttocks, urging him to go deeper and faster inside her as he worked his way to his own release. She licked her lips as she writhed to meet his thrust, enticing him to join her in her state of euphoria.

"Beautiful!" Adis breathed his delight upon the sight of her blissful face. "Haru, I'm cumming, my love. Ooh, take every drop of me, it's all for you. Argh!"

The veins in his arms, neck, and temple popped out and his mouth opened as he groaned loudly.

Haru grasped Adis' cheeks to intently watch his demon face as he buried his penis deep in her and cum vigorously. His glans had completely invaded her cervix and deliciously spurted his potent fluid. The changes that were happening in his demon eyes as he released his seed were simply captivating and made her body shook for another orgasm.

"Yes, oh yes, Adis, you're making me cum with your hot and thick semen. Ahh, I love it... I love you so much!"

Adis was slowly moving in and out of her haven as he emptied himself inside her. He tenderly kissed her tears away and peck her lips lovingly. "I love you more, Haru. Ah, my beloved, how could you bewitch me so? Please don't ever lift your spell on me."

Haru chuckled at his mushy lines again. She kissed him back as he lulled her to sleep with his gentle movements on top of her. She pulled him closer as she coquettishly requested, "Adis, I want to feel your whole weight."

"Silly wife, I can't do that for now." He said as he used his elbows and knees to support his weight. "I don't want to put too much pressure on your belly." When he saw Haru sulked at his rejection, he snickered in amusement and put a little bit of his weight on her. He gave her another quick kiss on the lips. "Now, now, don't pout. Here, is this much better? Geez, you're such a spoiled brat, yet so adorable. It makes me want to gobble you up again."

Haru giggled while her eyes were gradually closing. "Ugh, this sleepiness is killing me."

"Ssh, don't fight it." His sultry voice was cajoling her to succumb to her sleep.

"Adis?" she murmured with her eyes completely closed.

"Hmm?"

"Will you be here when I wake up?"

Adis smiled softly and kissed her cheeks as he whispered his reply. "Yes, I'll be right beside you when you open your eyes again, my clingy wife."

Haru just smiled happily as her breathing became light and stable, finally falling to dreamless slumber.

Adis waited for a bit more and just showered her face with light kisses before he carefully moved and pulled himself up. He muffled his moan when a delicious sensation assaulted his body as he slowly pulled out his penis from her wet core. He whispered series of expletives to stop himself from ramming his weapon back to its scorching sheath.

He stood up and immediately took a basin with warm water. He turned back to his human form as he diligently cleaned his wife's body with a warm towel. Subsequently, he positioned himself again between her thighs and carefully spread her vaginal opening. He inserted his middle finger which earned a soft moan from the sleeping beauty. He caressed her thigh gently as he urged her body to continue sleeping.

As he felt her walls, he watched her opening if there would be viscous fluid that would come out from it. He then slowly pulled his finger out and sucked the transparent fluid on it. He groaned softly and smiled in relief when he tasted the pure, sweet and intoxicating taste of Haru. He was glad that her body did not leave any trace of him and completely absorbed every drop of his semen as her nutrients.

"Good work," he whispered against her pussy and gave it a lingering kiss before he finally closed her thighs and covered her body with a thick blanket.

He went to the bath chamber to freshen up then stealthily gone out of the room.

Numerous Grim Reapers were currently guarding at the door with scary faces, as though anyone who dared to step a foot near the Queen's chamber would be annihilated at once. The servants waiting outside proactively assured him that they would keep the Queen safe while he's away.

He nodded in approval before his dark mana consumed his entire body and vanished into thin air.

"Big Brother, you're finally here. How was sister-in-law?" Zen greeted as Adis appeared in front of him.

The two younger Kings, Camus, the three Ignis brothers, and Frost were currently gathered in the murky and filthy dungeon of Gehenna. And as much as he hated leaving Haru alone in the Water Palace, there was something he really needed to do at that moment.

"She's asleep. She feels lethargic recently." Adis answered as his eyes silently observing the place.

"That's natural, " Frost assured. "Due to hormonal changes in her body, it is normal that she would feel tired and sleepy, especially during her first trimester. Just let her rest as much as she wanted and she'll be fine."

Adis just nodded then turned to look at Fang. "Where is he?"

"This way, your Majesty." Fang respectfully pointed out their destination.

As soon as they arrived in front of the rusty yet unbreakable prison cell, they all saw a lanky imperial guard of the Water Palace shivering in fear.

Adis grinned dangerously while he signaled to open the prison cell.

All the rusty steel bars vanished and the imperial guard was left with no defense against Adis' menacing aura. He scurried at the corner of the room while muttering for forgiveness from the Demon King.

"So you are the new rat who tried to abduct my wife by using a sleeping incense. Too bad, there's so many of you recently that hunting you down became a child's play." Adis said with an indifferent face as he walked towards his prey, his gait was light yet eerie.

Even though the Royal Family did their best to suppress the news of Haru's pregnancy, assassins and spies still came to attack her almost every day and in the most inconspicuous ways. So far, Adis and his team were able to stop all of them as they also worked hard to keep it hidden from Haru.

"No! P-please have mercy, King Adis. I-I didn't mean to do it. I-I was blinded by riches. I promise I won't do it again! Please let me live!" The guard desperately cried out as he kneeled and repeatedly banged his forehead on the ground.

Adis squatted in front of the guard, his scarlet eyes glowed and his demon stripes creeped out to commit murder. The corner of his mouth lifted as he tilted his head in mockery. "Mercy? Let you live? Do you have any idea what would happen to my Queen if you succeed in taking her to your master?"

Adis raised his right hand and wisps of black smoke drifted around his fingers. He placed it in front of the guard's face and the guard's complexion instantly turned white, slowly and painfully sucking the life out of him. Black blood oozed out from the guard's eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. "That sadistic Duke will definitely kill my child and r**e my wife until she's broken. I would rather end this world than let that abomination touch even a single strand of Haru's hair." He snarled as his face contorted in unspeakable rage at the thought of the demented duke. He stood up and clenched the black smoke in his hands. "Mercy has never been in this King's vocabulary. However, this great King is also known for not killing his prey. So if you wish to live, I will bestow you such a request."

The guard felt something crawled out from his left ear. His eyeballs dreadfully rolled to look at his cheek and saw a black centipede gradually freeing its long body from his ears. Then, another one came out from his other ears and nostrils. He suddenly felt nauseous and retched on the floor. He shrieked loudly when different crawling insects came out from his mouth as well. As though it wasn't horrible enough, an army of bullet and fire ants bit his entire body, shaking his entire being from indescribable pain that made him scream his lungs out.

Adis opened his palm and two black scorpions appeared within the black smoke. It crawled out from Adis' palm and went to its new victim. As the scorpions stopped in front of the wailing man, it lifted its tail and spat black venom which corroded the guard's flesh.

"Ahhh! Help me! It hurts... it hurts!" He screeched in pain, yet no matter how tormenting the suffering he was feeling at that moment, Adis made sure that he would not pass out and savor every second of it for eternity.

Adis finally turned around when he saw enough of the guard's suffering and proceeded to his next victim. "Bring them out."

Drako and Graves were dragging the next batch of traitors. They shoved them on to the ground when the traitors fiercely struggled.

"Well, well, well...look who we have here," Adis exclaimed with innocuous expression, as though he was not itching to bite the heads of the creatures in front of him. "After all the things that my Queen and I did for you, is this your way of showing your gratitude... Millie and Hannah?"
