It's true. Peace of mind was the key to good sleep. He used to worry about his life and the fact that he couldn't have children. Being a king for a powerful empire required him to prepare his successor. Without an heir of his own, he would have to choose one of his relatives. It might be one of his cousins or their offsprings.

It had created a lot of problems so far since they all tried to be the one chosen as his successor. He had become used to schemings and secret plots among his kins. It was so hard to see his extended family torn apart by their thirst for power.

If he had his own child, even if it was a girl, he could find a good man to marry her and then handed over the throne to his daughter and her husband.

The devil now was finally at ease and have peace of mind since he no longer had to worry about producing an heir to continue his family lineage. What's more, the girl had agreed to give him three heirs. THREE.

She was not bad looking either, so the devil could have beautiful children like himself. Not that he would love them any less if they were ugly. But he had learned that in life, beautiful people have all the luck, compared to ugly ones.

Right. He must ask her name.

"Mother, you can meet her in person and ask her everything you want to know. At the moment, I cannot tell you much." Finally, the devil decided to dodge the question and further probing from his mother.

He already chose his words carefully to be as ambiguous as possible, by telling his parents that he met the girl by accident and found out she was immune to his curse.

He also said he and the girl had been together for over a month, which was half true. They were together often as she was his servant who even.. wait, she had seen him undress when he wanted to take his bath last week.

Thinking about this made the devil's cheeks flushed slightly. He was in a hurry to take his bath and didn't know that the little slave was still there. Now, that he thought about it... she was astounded and couldn't move for a few seconds. She must be shocked to see his member.

Anyway, not that he had anything to be ashamed of. He felt very confident about his physique. It's just that, he wished the woman who would be the mother of his children could see him naked for the first time under a more favorable situation.

"You're daydreaming.. What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, his mother's voice moved the devil from his reverie.

He was daydreaming, wasn't he? He quickly got rid of the thoughts about the girl and shook his head. "Sorry, Mother. I was thinking about something. Nothing important."

"Oh... are you thinking about her? Is she nice? Do you love her? When will be the wedding?"

The devil involuntarily hiccuped at his mother's question.

Wedding? There will be no wedding. The girl had rejected him from the start, so of course, as a man with pride, he quickly retorted that he didn't plan to marry her. So.. now, he and the girl had agreed on three children but no marriage.

How would he explain this to his parents? He also didn't want them to know that she tried to kill him and had been hovering around him for over a month for the single purpose of killing him. He didn't want them to hate her and treat her badly. He needed her and her womb.

"We will talk about everything next week, okay? I have to go back and discuss things with her." Finally, the devil rose from his seat and kissed his mother's cheek and hugged his father. "Good night, Your Majesty."

He went out of the hall and got ready to return to his own castle. After he disappeared behind the door, King Jared and Queen Elara exchanged glances.

The queen was obviously still hungry for more information. As soon as her son left, she called her staff and gave instruction to send a spy to her son's castle to find more information about this girl that had been living together with the devil.

"I hope she is a nice woman," the queen whispered and let out a long sigh. "Hopefully she is fertile and can give us chubby grandchildren very soon. I can't wait to meet her."

The devil asked his servant about Emmelyn to check if the girl had had dinner. He was surprised to hear that she was caught trying to escape her room by climbing down from her window, thirty meters from the ground, and was now being kept in the small dining room with five guards keeping an eye on her closely.

"She tried to escape? How?"

"Uhmm.. she used her bedsheets to make rope and climbed down from her window when it was already dark. She almost got away..."

"Oh..." The devil pressed his temple. This sharp-tongued woman seemed like she didn't plan to keep her words. He must teach her a lesson. She already made a deal with the devil and must know that he was not someone to mess with.
