The Demon King's Paladin

Chapter 156. Alliance Meeting

                                                               Sarah Ericsson's Point Of View

" See you soon."

With John's parting words he left to meet my parents and show them his creations. Anna and I were left with Ruby and Emily with us in the office. John had no idea of knowing that there was another meeting to be held today. However, it wasn't for any milk products, but there was some reporting to be done.

" So, Ruby, Emily, how have you progressed since the last meeting?"

I asked them for their reports immediately. Anna and I wanted to have so kind of consistent reporting from these 2 as we've allowed them to join our little alliance as John's wives. Anna handed Emily and Ruby some tea as I asked the question. After handing them their tea, Anna sat next to me and handed me my own chilled tea. I've always preferred cool drinks to hot ones. I took a sip of my tea as I waited to hear from these 2 recruits of ours.

" Well... I don't know if this really counts, but..."

Ruby was the first to answer me. In complete contrast to how she battles, Ruby, while straight forward and powerful in battle, is quite sensitive and shy when it comes to the matters of her heart. However, it was because of that discrepancy that Anna and I were able to figure out that she held special feelings for John. It seems that since Anna and I gave our permission a strange mixture of those 2 attitudes have been born. At times, she'll take great leaps of faith, but she still gets all pensive like right now. I decided to just sit back and listen. Eventually, she found the motivation to speak.

" We've finally confirmed that we both view each other as friends!"

Ruby happily spoke about her progress... Wait?

" Is that really progressing towards romantic interest though?"

Anna spoke the thought I just had.

" But... He said that he trusted me!"

Ruby spoke with a touch of indignance. Seems she realized friendship doesn't necessarily mean " romantic interest". Seems she may be a touched concerned about it as well. Time to offer some advice.

" You need to now use that trust to encourage deeper feelings in him."

" How do I do that?"

Ruby looked at me for the answer.

" Well, I can only say to play to your strengths."

" My strengths?"

" Yes, for instance my strength when getting him to fall for me was my straightforwardness and aggression! I left him no room not to think of me!"

" She once took Master's lips in the throne room of the Royal Palace with around 200 witnesses." 

Anna told Ruby and Emily about the first time I kissed My Love. Ah what a good memory! His eyes were glazed over and all he could do was think of me! That day I knew I would definitely make him mine!

" The 1st Princess kissed a Human man in front of 200 people, and they were fine with it?"

" Well, this was directly after the announcement that they were engaged. Truth be told, knowing what I know now. I'm surprised Sarah was so patient as to wait for the announcement."

" You make it sound like I'm controlled by my desires, Anna."

I stared at Anna, as I responded.

" Only when it comes to our husband, Sarah."

I look back at Ruby and see that she and Anna were giggling at me. The 1st Princess of Diablos being reduced to a joke around a sister wife and 2 could be sister wives. All this because of the love I feel for My Love! He's so sinful! I'll have to punish him when he gets back to make up for it! After calming down, I looked at Emily for her answer.
