Carrying the Demon Lord's Heir My Vengeance AwakensChapter 1
I was nothing more than a mortal, yet I had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
All because the Demon Sovereign had gazed into the Demon Mirror and divined that I was his fated beloved. If he and I were to unite, we would bring forth a supreme demon god capable of ruling all Six Realms.
Malachar Voss brought me from the mortal world into the Demon Realm, feeding me his heart's blood each day to keep me ageless and undying.
But conceiving with a mortal was nearly impossible for a being like him. Night after night, for hundreds of thousands of years, he lay with me, and only then did I finally quicken with a demon heir.
Malachar was overjoyed. He crowned me Demon Queen on the spot, treating me and the child in my womb as his most precious treasures.
When his own sister accidentally brushed against my belly during a moment of play, he ground her bones to dust and scattered them to the wind. She had been the only princess of the entire demon race.
To safeguard the demon child, Malachar arranged for me to rest and nurture the pregnancy in the Forbidden Grounds.
Cadmus Freewild, drunk and lost, once stumbled into the Forbidden Grounds by mistake. Malachar killed him where he stood, then led his demon army into the Celestial Realm and slaughtered until rivers ran red with blood.
To end the war, the Celestial Emperor had no choice but to offer the most beautiful immortal in all the Six Realms, Seraphina Abbott Crystalis, as a consort to the Demon Sovereign.
Seraphina, emboldened by her status as the Celestial Emperor's daughter, answered to no one. She forced her way into the Forbidden Grounds with an entourage at her back:
"What filthy mortal dares hide in the Forbidden Grounds? Bedding demon guards and getting herself pregnant?"
"Today, I'll clean house for the Demon Sovereign myself!"
She ordered her people to hack off my limbs, then tore open my belly with bare hands and ripped the demon child from my womb.
As I lay dying, Malachar arrived with the mightiest beings of the Six Realms to witness the birth of their future sovereign.
Seraphina dragged me before him and held up the infant she had tortured to death, her face bright with triumph:
"I discovered a filthy mortal whoring herself out to your demon guards. This is the bastard she was carrying!"
