The group enjoyed a lavish meal, with soft, succulent meats garnished with vegetables and spices they'd never known before. Asmodeus smirked at the tiny girl sitting on his thigh, with her lips swollen after stealing the spicy curry on his plate. "Come here." He took a clean cloth and gently wiped the spicy oil from her lips before taking an iced dessert kept in his item storage.
"Wuuuu, it's hot, it hurts." She glanced up at him with tears in her eyes. Asmodeus experienced a sudden flash of memories. In the past, when Nyxielle and Seris ran to his bed crying after a nightmare.
'So cute!'
Maybe it was his sadistic nature, but whenever the little girls cried or his sons showed fear during their training and lessons, he enjoyed it. Of course, afterwards, he ensured he made them laugh and at ease twice as much as the fear or tears they cried.
