Devil's Son-in-Law

Chapter 12: The Trends in the Demon Realm

The tri-horned rhinos walked slowly. Chen Rui and Athena both had their concerns, but neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was strange.

"Athena," Chen Rui's question broke the awkward atmosphere. "I'm human; I'm almost know nothing about the Demon Realm. Since I'm a member of Dark Moon City now, I'd like to know about the Fallen Angel Empire, can you tell me?"

That request was common so Athena started explaining without thinking.

Demon Realm originally had 7 royal families. After countless battles and eliminations, only 3 royal families were left in the end. They were the Lucifer royal family who reigned over the Fallen Angel Empire; the Mammon royal family who reigned over the Bloody Empire; and the Asmodeus royal family who reigned over the Dark Shadow Empire. These 3 empires in the Demon Realm had their own strengths and weaknesses. They had stood for tens of thousands of years.

The enchantment of the human world and the Demon Realm would be weakened every five hundred years, and it was the beginning of the wars between two worlds. Fallen Angel Empire's Midnight Sun. Lucifer was the strongest of Demon Realm; he was respected by all parties. He served as the commander of the Demon coalition during the war with mankind about 300 years ago. He personally killed the 3 strongest humans. He once let the demon army saw the hope of returning to the bright world on the ground. However, the Lord of Midnight Sun was suddenly backstabbed and killed by a mysterious strong man, resulting in the army losing a leader. The demon army was defeated in the end and forced to retreat to the Demon Realm.

After the death of Lord of Midnight Sun, the Crown Prince, Grimm. Lucifer was too young to handle government affairs. Two foreign enemies, the Bloody Empire and the Dark Shadow Empire were also eyeing covetously. Fallen Angel Empire was once having internal and external problems..

At that moment, Midnight Sun's younger brother, also Grim's uncle, the Prince Obsidian stepped forward and temporarily taking over the government affairs; he was called the Regent. Although the strength and military power of the Prince Obsidian was far less than the Lord of Midnight Sun, his political means were brilliant. With the reason that his brother's solemn sacrifice for the demons and the remaining prestige of the Lord of Midnight Sun in the Demon Realm, he signed a non-aggression agreement with the Bloody Empire and the Dark Shadow Empire.

However, after the Prince Obsidian resolved the external crisis, he did not return the power to his nephew, Grimm. Instead, he monopolized the power and eliminate the dissidents, indicating his objective of replacing the throne. However, Prince Obsidian did not receive the approval of the Lucifer family's artifact "Sword of Fallen Angel". Also, with the high prestige of Lord of Midnight Sun in the military, there were 2 out of 3 generals that supported the Crown Prince, Grimm. So, Prince Obsidian could only continue his title of Regent but he confiscated his nephew's "Sword of Fallen Angel" and secluded him at the desolated Dark Moon estate, secretly sending people to monitor and control.

The Dark Moon Estate was dangerous; it had poor resources; there were also rampant thieves; and it even had horrifying creatures in the estate, the estate couldn't grow and develop at all. He was depressed and died in such adversity, leaving two daughters in his late years, which were Princess Royal, Shea, and little princess, Alice.

Since young, Shea was indoctrinated by Grimm's with the thoughts of regaining the throne and resulted in the development of her cold and tough personality. She was calm and determined. Unlike her relatively weak father, she had the model of her grandfather, Lord of Midnight Sun. She took over the Dark Moon City at the age of 16 and immediately established a prestige with a series of methods, governing the Dark Moon City successfully.
