“Second chance at life? I do not think being dead and under the control of someone else can be considered a second chance at life.” The Demon Queen of Darkness snorted. “But it would be easier to take down those who are powerful with the help of Death.”

“Are you saying I am useless!?” The Demon Queen of Lust was not happy at all. It was as if she was being looked down upon.

“If you are able to get close enough to the ice dragon, then so be it, but I highly doubt you can. I think only Cinder could do that, and it seems she is working for this ice dragon now. This proves her power.” The Demon Queen of Darkness explained. She was not actually looking down on the Demon Queen of Lust. She knew if she was not careful, she might end up falling under the woman’s spell. She never thought that the Demon Queen of Lust would actually be as powerful as she was. She thought she was safe due to her only controlling men.

“That weakling? Can she even be called a demon queen?” The Demon Queen of Lust snorted.

“You say that, but you wouldn’t be able to get close to her either. You were sealed before The Demon Queen of Cinder was born. She is stronger than you think. From the stories I have heard, she had once burned half the world. It took many mages to seal her, and they all lost their lives. Her flames are not to be trifled with.” The Demon Queen of Darkness defended Cinder for one reason. She would never underestimate another demon queen. The Demon Queen of Lust was a good example of what would happen if you underestimated their powers.

“Tch…” The Demon Queen of Lust clicked her tongue. But she could not deny what The Demon Queen of Darkness had to say. She did not know Cinder’s true strength.

    “So… what should we do? I will admit I am useless against Cinder since she can burn most of my army. As for the ice queen…. It might be hard for any of us to get close except for you, Darkness.” The Demon Queen of Death suggested.

“I might be able to get close. But would I be able to attack before I froze to death?” The Demon Queen of Darkness looked at the other two and sighed.  “We can only try. If we fail, we will need to fall back and maybe just give that continent to her. She might not be like us.” The Demon Queen of Darkness did not wish to give up anything, but A powerful enemy was still a powerful enemy. One needed to know when to take a step back.

“We also do not know what happened to the Demon Queen of Lightning.” The Demon Queen of Death was still concerned about this. “If she had died, it would have been noticed by us. At least the battle that ensued would have been enough for us to take notice.”

“We will deal with that late. We will know if she is around or not. Until then, we can only try to deal with what is happening now.” The Demon Queen of Lust did not want to bother with the Demon Queen of Lightning, although she did feel that maybe it would be easier with her here.

“At any rate….” The Demon Queen of Darkness began before feeling something was off. 

“What?” The Demon Queen of Lust asked.

“I feel like we are being watched….” The Demon Queen of Darkness looked around but did not see anything out of the ordinary.

In a dark corner of a room, a small root the size of a needle tip was hidden between the grains of the rug. It did not move, but it did give off a very faint mana signature. But this low amount of mana output was so small it did not make the Demon Queens aware.

“I think you are just being paranoid.” The Demon Queen of Lust did not feel anything. She did not know who would even be able to get close enough to them to make them feel like they were being watched.

“Anyway, let’s work out our plans.” The Demon Queen of Death just wanted to get this meeting over. As for the Demon Queen of Darkness,  she couldn’t help but feel like something was off.

“Juna how is it?” Desaray asked.

“From what I am hearing they plan to strike in six months. They want to gather their forces first before making plans to cross the ocean. Unlike us, they can not move thousands of soldiers at one time.” Juna replied.

“Then we will take three months to gather our strength. During this time, we will level up our armies and then meet them head-on. Demon queens might be powerful, but if they think they can even take a single step onto our continent, then they have another thing coming to them.” Desaray snorted. She wanted to see who dared to disturb her utopia.

“Should we ask the dragon clan on the West Coast to assist?” Juna had her roots all over, so she knew where all the major settlements were now.

“We will meet with all of them. During this time, we will first level up. In three months, myself, Rose, An’ne, and you will spit up and go to different clans. Make sure you bring enough people as guards since we need these visits to be official.”
