"Welcome to the club," he said with a tender smile.
"Wait, what is all this? What is this so-called system, the subclass change, and why did I transform into a dragon, especially a demonic one?!" Erica seemed to finally realize the situation she was in.
Seeing her panic, Dex calmed her. "It's all right, and I understand you want more answers, but if you want an explanation that really helps you understand what you are, it's better if she explains it." He pointed to the sleepy Echi.
He then took her hand and started walking. "And if we want her to answer with good humor, we have to feed the beast, don't you think?"
"Try to ex..." But when she was about to ask him to try explaining, she was strategically interrupted.
"You know, during the whole 'party' we had, the window was open and you made a lot of noise. Don't you think someone might have heard a certain president during the night?"
Hearing that, Erica blushed a bit but spoke proudly. "That just shows my ability to choose a man capable of satisfying me." And she added at the end, "Besides, this very man put this wedding ring on me that could be given to the most glorious queens of vampires and elves!"
Confused about the last part, he asked, "What do you mean by a ring that could be given to the most glorious queens of vampires and elves?"
Erica's expression, before blushed and happy, fell into pure coldness. "You don't know the cultural meanings of the ring?"
Seeing that his death could come at any moment, Dex quickly replied, "It's true that Echidna and I didn't know about this part of the marriage, but we really hoped to marry you!"
"Formulate a clear answer quickly." The granite pupils seemed to dominate her ruby eyes, and that scared Dex.
He then let go of her hand and began showing the wedding tattoos. "These tattoos I have on my chest and back are the sign of the demonic marriage; I have them and so does Echi because we are married."
"I want them," she ordered him.
Dex then held her hand firmly once more. "I know you want them, and one thing I guarantee: you will have them, but for that, we need Echidna, and don't forget your desired explanations."
Hearing his explanation, she slowly returned to normal. "Ok."
They quickly went to the kitchen where Dex would once again prepare a large breakfast to make up for the missing dinner.
"But still, what is the meaning of the ring?" he asked out of curiosity while lighting the stove.
Erica, sitting on a chair in the kitchen while looking at him, replied, "It's something extremely traditional among noble vampires and even royalty to give a ring made of Blood Gold, which is made from the mixture of blood of a vampire progenitor and pure gold, so it is extremely rare and expensive. The purple diamond has been related since the beginning to elven weddings, because they say these rings carry sins, especially lust."
Confused, he asked while cooking the first omelet, "But aren't elves a race that seeks purity above all, with that thing about the World Tree religion and such?"
The sound of the egg frying in a thin layer of oil could be heard.
Erica laughed upon hearing that. "If any elf heard you talk about their religion like that, they'd make you a public enemy, and that wouldn't be good for me, don't you think?"
"But as you said, they seek purity, but if they are pure and not dominated by sins, especially lust, how could they be parents, since elves rarely have children? That's where, according to their own religion, the purple diamond carries the curse of sins so that they remain pure and can be lustful."
Amid laughs and ingredients, he asked ironically, "So the bigger the diamond, the more they can fuck without being judged? Is that why you said it would be worthy even of queens?"
Hearing that, she couldn't help but smile. "Basically, yes, it makes us free to do all the perverted things we want."
"What a religious girl you are, my Erica!" he said as he finished his first omelet filled with cheese, ham, and some parsley.
She then rolled her eyes with a smile. She got up and walked to the counter where Dex had placed the plate with the omelet. "A good girl deserves a reward, don't you think?"
"Ok, ok, you can have the omelet, beautiful pervert," he said while starting to make another omelet for himself.
"I love you," she said as she approached him to give him a kiss on the cheek.
But as she did, he felt two big things on his shoulder. "I like your affection very much, but if you keep placing your breasts on me, I'll lose concentration and let it burn."
"And then I'm the pervert," she said, stepping back with the plate toward the table.
--
A smell entered the nostrils of the young white-haired woman. A delicious smell she already knew, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"I said, as soon as she smells it, she would wake up," Erica said proudly.
Seeing that, Dex joked, "The great wise Erica guides my way with your infinite wisdom."
Finding it funny, she replied, joining the joke, "If you learn to disguise the ironic tone even more, I might actually think about guiding you."
But when Dex was about to reply, "What the hell happened while I was sleeping?"
She seemed confused to see a draconian Erica beside Dex.
"We can say she became part of the family, but before talking about what happened, why don't you eat first?" He then put on her lap a tray with the omelet, fork and knife, and a cup of coffee. "I made it well, sweetie."
Her gaze fell to the plate, and she started eating. "Thank you."
She quickly finished breakfast and noticed that Erica had evolved, and due to a request from Erica, began to explain what she really was.
"Basically, you're saying that I and six other women are destined to love him, because a whore queen completely destroyed the Demon royal family?" She asked with a strange look to the two.
"I know you might not like it, but we can't change anything about that," said Echidna seeing Erica's expression.
"It's not that I dislike it, after all, thanks to this, I met the two of you, and regardless of whether there is destiny or not, I love you." And at the end, she added somewhat annoyed, "The only thing that bothers me is that those other six women exist and, on top of that, that I'm not the first to get married."
Seeing her jealousy, Dex laughed. "Zephyra might even be the first wife. But don't forget that besides Echi, you're the first to be deflowered by me."
Erica blushed a bit upon hearing that but still remained firm. "I may not be the first, but at least I want to be the second!"
"Yes, we know that, but first you have to understand one thing: when we do the ritual, it won't be an equal ritual; you will be becoming mine and can't do anything to hurt or harm me," Dex said seriously to her.
"I don't see any problem, after all, I'm not like that whore who killed the whole family," she said with a smile.
"Now the final question, who do you want to kiss?" Echidna asked with a provocative smile, ignoring Dex's requests for consent, which earned her an eye roll from him.
Without any hesitation, she answered, "Dex."
Echidna's heart seemed to break upon hearing that. "No... any hesitation?"
Erica seeing the eyes of a child about to cry explained quickly, "If it were you, you would harass me sexually while we were kissing, and we know where that would end."
Dex confirmed, "She's right; if it were you, we'd never have time to register our Evolutions and buy the new uniforms."
Echidna dramatically said, "Traitors!"
Seeing that, Erica approached her and whispered in her ear, "When we come back, I'll make sure you are satisfied with all the kisses you could ask for."
"Ok!" Hearing that, Echidna smiled. She then put her thumb in and gave a strong bite.
She quickly returned to Dex, and passed the blood from the wound, which had already begun to regenerate, across his lips. "Now it's your turn, baby." She said to her twin.
"I've never seen you this motivated."
"I can always put them on, especially for you."
"Sweet as always, right?" He thought as he caressed her head, which seemed to melt her.
Dex then began to approach Erica, while bringing his finger to his teeth. "Are you ready?"
"Always!" She said firmly.
Dex, like Echidna, created a wound that scraped his blood.
He put an arm around the waist of the huge Erica while passing his blood on her lips. His blood quickly mixed with Echidna's, and soon it shone with a reddish hue.
"Let's go, my dragon queen?" He asked while looking into her beautiful eyes.
"Of course, my demon king," she said with a smile as she leaned in for the kiss.
And this kiss was the first step of the future dragon and demon queen.
