Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

The winged man landed on the lounge of his palace.

Nero was carrying Asteria as she was asleep and didn't want her to wake up by an unstable flight.

Sophia was carrying Emilia, and Emilia was tense during the entire flight; because Sophia had told her that if she moved even a little, she would throw her down.

"Welcome to my palace," the winged man greeted with respect.

"It's pretty stupid of you to invite a strange— who is clearly stronger than you— to your palace," Nero remarked.

"Haven't you heard of the saying 'Keep your enemies close to keep your eyes on them.'," the winged man responded with a smile.

 "This is the first time I have ever heard of this, but whoever came up with this quote must be stupid," Nero remarked and continued, "Why would you keep your enemy close to you when it's given that they are your enemy? Heck, they can do anything to you if you keep them close to you."

"That's one way to put it, yes," the winged man nodded.

"That's the 'only' way to put it!" Nero shouted.

Some guards rushed to the winged man from the hallway after hearing Nero's scream.

They were carrying spears, but they weren't wearing any armor.

"Is everything alright, King?" One of the guards asked.

"Yes. Don't worry," the winged man replied. "They are our guests. Please show them their rooms."

"There is no need," Nero asserted with a glare in his eye. 

"Oh!" The winged man exclaimed. "Okay. Then I will show you the rooms."

Nero scoffed and uttered, "I never said I am staying here, though."

"You are… not?" The winged man asked with a confused and puzzled look on his face.

"Nope." Nero shook his head and continued, "I just wanted to get into this kingdom, and what's the better way than getting in with the king himself?"

"So… where do you plan to stay the night?" The winged man asked with a curious look on his face.

"I don't know." Nero shrugged, "Maybe at some inn."

"There are no inns in this kingdom," the winged man stated.

"Horseshit! If there are no inns in this kingdom, then where do the travelers stay?"

"In the outer area of the palace." The winged man answered. "Travelers are my guests, and guests are like gods to me."

"Still, there is no way I am staying at a stranger's palace," Nero refuted the winged man's offer.

"If you don't want to stay, then I won't force you, but how about you come to take a look at the palace's and the rooms first? If you don't like it, then you are free to leave," the winged man suggested.

Asteria was sleeping in Nero's arms, and if what the winged man said was true, then they would have no place to stay for the night.

Nero glanced at Sophia and raised his brows two times to ask her opinion. 

Sophia looked at Emilia and shrugged her shoulders.

SIGH!

Nero sighed and uttered, "Alright, fine. Let's take a look."

The winged man signaled the guards to go away: "Leave us alone."

The guards bowed down and left.

The winged man showed around the palace for a few minutes and then took them into a room that was the size of a hall.

Sophia closed her distance with Nero and walked beside him.

"Who is this man?" Sophia whispered to Nero.

"No idea. But he is a king of this kingdom, which happens to be the capital."

"So that means…" Sophia's eyes widened as she uttered, "He is the king of this entire continent?"

"Most likely," Nero shrugged.

"However, he doesn't give kingly vibes," Sophia remarked.

"Indeed."

The winged man clapped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Ladies! Come here."

Eight beautiful women came out from behind the curtain and stood beside the winged man.

"I haven't introduced myself yet," the winged man smiled and said, "My name is Horus, the king of this kingdom."

"Uhh… only this kingdom?" Nero asked with a confused look on his face. "Isn't this the capital?"

"Yes, it indeed is," Horus nodded.

"So… shouldn't you be the king of this entire continent?"

"Oh! Well, technically, yes. But no, I am not the king of this entire continent."

"Whatever," Nero rolled his eyes.

Horus pointed his finger at the woman standing beside him and said, "This is my wife, Hathor. And the other seven are my mistresses."

SIGH!

Nero sighed and said, "Where are the rooms?"

"Follow me." Horus took Nero and the girls to the next hallway and asserted, "This hallway is reserved for the royals. But you can stay in any room you want."

Nero kick-opened the door and entered the first room of the hallway. As soon as Nero stepped his foot into the room, the candles lit up the entire room, and he smelled the sweet scent coming from the candles.

He ignored the scent and placed Asteria on the triple-sized bed.

'The bed is soft!' When Nero placed Asteria on the bed, Asteria's body sank in the bedsheet.

Sophia and Emilia entered the room and sat on the bed.

Sophia rubbed her hand on the bedsheet and said, "It's so soft."

Emilia jumped and began rolling on the bed.

Nero shook his head in disbelief and placed a pillow around Asteria.

'I guess staying one night won't hurt.'

Nero walked to the door and uttered, "Bed is not bad."

"I am glad you liked it. The material used to create this bed is indestructible, making it possible for anyone to sleep on the bed."

"So, what are your thoughts?" Horus asked curiously.

"We will stay for the night."

"That's wonderful!" Horus said cheerfully. "Have you and your… uhh…" Horus stuttered and said, "I don't want to be rude by making assumptions, so may I ask you what these girls are to you?"

Nero glanced at Emilia and Sophia and found them looking back at him, as though they also wanted to know what their current relationship was.

"Are they… your wives or perhaps mistresses?" Horus guessed.

"They are… they are my pets," Nero answered.

"Umm… okay." Horus looked shocked and disgusted, but it wasn't his place to judge Nero.

"So, I was wondering if you have eaten yet? I can ask my chefs to cook any food you want to," Horus asked in a calm voice.

"No, need. I can feed them."

Nero closed the door after saying, "Now leave us alone. And I have cast a barrier around the room, so if anyone tries to enter the hallway, they would be incinerated into ashes."
