Sitting around a nanotech table that s.h.i.+ro had made, the party sat on one side while the demons sat on the other side.

The main representatives seemed to be the two demons that s.h.i.+ro had come face to face with as they were the highest level in the room.

[Akog – LVL 450 Demonic Duke]

[Bolgrad – LVL 420 Demonic Marquis]

Akog was the older demon who looked human except for his wings. His white hair covered a bit of his face, shadowing his blood red eyes which glanced towards s.h.i.+ro and Lisandra with wariness.

As for Bolgrad, he was a young man who had short black hair and black eyes. Much like Akog, the only reason they could tell that he was a demon was due to his demonic wings.

However, the rest of the demons in the room were less 'human' as they had horns, tails and other demonic features.

"So please tell me why you think I'm the Princess." Madison asked as she was confused about the situation. Just two minutes ago they were killing each other but now they were sitting on the table discussing her lineage.

From what she knew, both her parents were normal humans who had normal jobs so how in G.o.ds name did she suddenly become the Princess of demons.

"We don't THINK you're the Princess. We KNOW that you're the Princess." Akog corrected her.

"Yes but why?" Madison sighed.

Looking around her, she could see that quite a lot of demons were looking at her with reverence but many seemed scared after her previous rampage which killed quite a few of their comrades.

"You have the blood of a demon G.o.d running through your veins. As demons, we instinctively feel a sense of reverence towards you along with bloodline suppression. While the concentration of demon G.o.d blood inside you is thin, you are still no doubt the descendant of a demon G.o.d." Akog explained.

"But her parents are normal humans. If she's a demon, wouldn't they be demons as well?" Lyrica asked.

"Indeed. And even if she is a demon, shouldn't she have demonic features? I know that you two look quite human but your buddies by the side aren't the same now are they?" s.h.i.+ro gestured to the demons behind the two.

While she knew the reason, she might as well let the two demons explain themselves.

"The appearance of a demon varies depending on their bloodline. The purer the blood, the harder it is to detect that they're demonic. For the Princess, the combination of her pure blood and the low density allowed her to elude our notice for many years. Unless we're in close proximity, we won't be able to find her. As for her parents, I'm guessing that due to the low density, there is a catalyst/event needed for the blood to awaken. Whether that be a strong emotional shock or strong desire, we don't know nor do we care as Princess has awakened her bloodline. Her current cla.s.s proves it." Akog replied.

"So Princess, now that you know of your bloodline, are you going to come with us to the demon continent to claim your rightful heritage?" Bolgrad asked with excitement written all over his face.

"Don't get too ahead of yourselves now. I'm not going to follow you just because you said I'm part demon you know?" Madison shook her head with a frown.

"But why???" Bolgrad cried out.

"Hush it. Let the Princess explain it herself." Akog held Bolgrad back.

"I don't need to explain myself as there is nothing I need to explain. You on the other hand, have much more to explain. Why do you want me to follow you? What does me being a descendant mean for me?" Madison pointed towards Akog.

Nodding his head, Akog opened his mouth.

"To answer your first question, Princess, I'll need to explain the demon hierarchy to you as that plays a large part in your ident.i.ty. You see, demons are split into four ranks. You have the common demons such as imps, they're grotesque and murderous. Logic doesn't apply to demons of this rank. Next you have the n.o.ble demons. There are a total of 5 roles within this rank. From the lowest role, it goes from Baron, Viscount, Count, Marquis and finally, Duke. There are variations in each role's power but just know that a demon n.o.ble's strength is equal to his 'role'. The next rank is Royalty. These are typically filled with descendants of the Demon G.o.ds which is the final rank.

"In the Demon Continent, the Demonic Royalty govern every single demon in place of the Demon G.o.ds as they cannot materialise in this plane just yet. Under the royalty is the n.o.bles which makes their life easier along with acting as their show of strength. Demon Royalties are barred from fighting against one another as it is equivalent to a war between two Demon G.o.ds. Therefore, Royalty will use their subordinates to clear up any grievances.

"We are part of your faction and you're one of the last descendants of the Demon G.o.d Markon. Our previous Prince has been a.s.sa.s.sinated and we were unable to find the killer, resulting in our faction going on the decline. Without a Prince or Princess to lead our people, Demon G.o.d Markon will not be able to descend onto the world when the new age arrives. For this reason, we implore you to come back and claim your rightful heritage." Akog explained as Madison furrowed her brows.

"That still doesn't explain what it means for me. All I know is that you want me as a tool to help this G.o.d of yours. If that's the case then you can forget about me since I'm not able to help some f*cker who I don't even know." Madison shook her head.

"Ah you misunderstand me my Princess. How do I explain this… hmm… Since you're friends with one of the Queens, can I presume that you know of their importance?" Akog asked as he glanced towards s.h.i.+ro who replied with 'Sup' and waved her hand.

"Somewhat. They're the lifeline of a race no?"

"Exactly. For demons, you are the equivalent of a Queen but not yet. Hence why you're a Princess. Once the new age arrives, and you will eventually start your quest to become a Demon Queen, sovereign of all demons that will ever exist. All of the factions will serve under you should that happen. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable as the last parts of the quest will summon you to a new realm where you must compete against the other Demon Princes and Princesses."

"Hold on. I thought there were no kings? How come there are Princes?" Madison asked as s.h.i.+ro had told her about the lack of a King role which is similar to Queens.

"That's because it is a role specific for the Demon Race. When a Demon King is born, he'll receive several wives. The wives obtain benefits similar to that of a queen such as obtaining strength from the citizens. The only difference is that the strength is then pa.s.sed on to the Demon King, allowing him to be much stronger than the other compet.i.tors in the new age." Akog explained.

"So… wouldn't you want a King rather than a Queen?" Madison raised her eyebrow. From what she knew, demons valued strength so having her return to the demon continent made no sense unless they wanted her to become one of the wives. If that was the case then she can only reply with h.e.l.l no.

"That is because we don't desire a King. Demon G.o.d Markon doesn't want his descendants to be married off so he had a great idea on making the strongest Demon Queen so that she could make her own choices. After all, once a King is born, all female demons will be imbedded with the desire to become the King's wife. This idiot lost his partner because a King was born during the new age in a different Garden." Akog pointed at Bolgrad.

"OI!" Gritting his teeth, Bolgrad wasn't too pleased at the reminder of the past.

"Wait so you're telling me that if a King is born, Madi will lose her free will?" Lyrica frowned.

"Indeed. Hence why we want her to return and claim her rightful heritage so that when the time comes, she has a better chance to become the Queen. There are benefits for us as well so we're not doing this out of kindness either." Akog nodded his head.

"What kind of benefits?" Madison narrowed her eyes.

"Sovereignty over the other factions. Meaning, if you become the Queen, we don't become their slaves." Akog replied with seriousness.
