Now that Desire had been ascended to his demon queen, it meant Astaroth had someone to leave protecting their city and surrounding lands should he wish to move closer to the border and perhaps assist with their liberation of this lands.
After an initial quick expansion thanks to the flood of converts that the taking of their new capital had brought them, things had slowly settled into an eerie calm at the borders of their territory.
The surrounding dominions were in disarray, and those of his followers that had dared the danger of going into other populations without his protection in the hope of convincing others to join had some success.
Yet, attacks from local militias and knighly orders had put them in the defensive, as Astaroth did not wish to extend his rule with a blade.
Aurora, his new general, had thrown herself to her newfound leadership position with a dedication that was difficult to match by others, and the demon lord had decided to come visit her forward camp to assist in the defences as much as he could.
Away from the main focus of his followers, his power was diminished, but while he could not envelop a whole city with his flesh and lustfully take call of them out here, he was still a force to be reckoned with.
He oversaw the camp that had been built alongside the main road towards the capital of the kingdom; which was where Aurora though a possible attack was more likely, and had actually left with some patrols to oversee defences and barricades personally a couple of days ago.
In the meantime, Astaroth made sure all those that had taken upon themselves to defend their gains were well taken care off.
The wooden camp had been built with urgency, but still making sure that as many amenities as possible could be fitted. Tents and huts were all set in neat rows, with a cleared out field for training, as well as a secluded section for revelry.
A constant flow of visitors and volunteers came every day to make sure the fighters in the camp had all their needs taken care off, and Astaroth himself had brought Sheath and his kittens, part of his precious harem, with explicit orders to give themselves completely to those stationed here.
Not that they needed much pressure, as all three had been happy to jump to their duties with lascivious excitement.
Astaroth's morning had been productive; he had helped raise a couple of new structures, expressed his appreciation passionately to a group of his soldiers and had even officiated a wedding.
Sometime after mid-day, a trumpet call announced that Aurora and her units had returned (though Astaroth already knew of her coming in advance thanks to their connection), and as they marched in the demon lord noticed a satisfied smirk on his general's face.
A hooder figure walked next to her, flanked by two of Aurora's more powerful warriors, the lack of any bindings or restraints made it clear they were protecting this person.
Astaroth waited for them to approach with a proud smile, and got a loud salute from his followers.
The armored figure of Aurora stepped closer, removing her helmet and taking a bow before her beloved master.
She was a sight to behold, her metal armor had been meticulously crafted to infer the strong yet feminine body underneath it, and her pose rippled with pride and delight, feeling more comfortable in her skin than she had ever been in her previous life.
The demoness' purple eyes shone as they locked gazes with her master. She had done her hair in a messy short cut that didn't interfere much with her helmet, giving her the aura of a ferocious lioness or wolf.
"It's so good to see you here, Master, I have someone I'm dying to introduce you to," she said, barely able to contain her excitement.
Astaroth grinned and caressed her face with price; the proud warrior blushes as she tried to nibble and lick his fingers, her mind obviously flooded with filthy ideas of her Master.
"Then I am keen to meet this person too, my beautiful Aurora," he said as he raised his gaze to the rest of the troops, "you all deserve a rest and care! The volunteers are dying to service you all, please go meet them and enjoy yourselves!"
A loud cheer filled the camp as they broke ranks and went on to relax after their long patrol.
Aurora dismissed the two large demons guarding the hooded figure and extended a hand to her gest, who timidly grabbed it with a small feminine hand.
The demon lord invited them both towards his big command tent and held the thick piece of cloth that served as a door for them to come in.
After all three had made their way inside, Aurora waited no time to jump into Astaroth's arms, kissing his face with voracious neediness as he used his powers to unbuckled her armor, which fell to the ground with rhythmic and oddly erotic clanging sounds.
Their kissed continued until the demoness was completely naked and despite her imperious need for her master, she tried to regain her composure and drop to the ground, her voluptuous chest heaving with her panting.
"I'm sorry Master, I needed you so bad..." she said as Astaroth, shoved a thumb on her mouth which she suckled and bit with lustful glee.
"I understand, my beautiful general, tell me, who is this person you are so keep to introduce me to?" Astaroth asked, genuinely curious.
With a delightful giggle, Aurora almost danced with her hooves towards their guest, who had pulled her hood over head head further to hide how much she was blushing at the demon's display of affection and Aurora's nakedness.
"It's my pleasure to introduce her majesty, Violetta von Evereck, my lord," said Aurora, gently removing their guest's hood and cape.
A nervous and utterly flustered young woman stood in front of Astaroth, trying her best to advert her brown eyes from him.
She was dressed in unremarkable yet good quality traveling clothes. They resembled a tunic or robe and mostly covered her pale skin completely, sans for a window to her rather flat cleavage and a cute little beauty mark on the side of her right breast.
The woman was of average height, though compared to both their towering hosts she was rather small, barely reaching Aurora's chest with her head. She held her blonde hair in a top bun that made her look older than she actually was.
While not drop dead gorgeous like most of his followers, the woman had a cute face and her timidity made her somewhat adorable.
But what really caught Astaroth's eyes was what laid inside.
A raging fire of lust and desire was burning inside her, dying to spill out and consume all.
It made the demon lord get a mischievous smile on his face, as this was obviously why Aurora was so excited to introduce them, even more so than her status.
"Violetta von Evereck... that would make you, princess Violetta, correct?" said Astaroth, extending one of his massive hands to his guest with a polite gesture.
The woman held his hand in a solem and polite gesture and did a little curtsey.
"A pleasure, my lord, though technically I am queen since my father's abrupt passing..." a sad tingue colored her words, though she wasn't as broken up as one would assume from such news.
"My condolences, your majesty, I wasn't aware," the demon lord said, with a bow.
Violetta did a polite yet dismissive wave with her hand, letting them know no affront had been made.
"It's fine my lord, I am saddened by the passing of my family, but I'm afraid I was never close to my father," she said, trying to maintain her focus and composure in front of the two demons who's forms were clearly arousing her.
"Aurora, if you may, find the queen somewhere to sit and fetch us something to drink," Astaroth said to his general, but before the demoness could be on her way, Violetta lifted her hand and stopped them both.
"Please, do not worry, I am fine standing and had something to drink before we arrived, I will be fine, I promise you," whatever had brought her here was something urgent, or at least urgent for her to get out of her chest.
Astaroth nodded to her and remained where we was, standing in front of the young queen.
"I'm afraid the kingdom is in disarray, much of it because of your recent capture of our second largest city, and some people decided that it was a good time to do a powerplay at court," the queen explained, with her best diplomatic tone, "my elder brother and some power hungry nobles attempted to force my father into relinquishing power to them, but he refused..."
Violetta took a moment to gather her thoughts, though her eyes keep darting between Astaroth's and Aurora's bodies despite how much she was trying to avoid it.
"In the ensuing melee between the rebels, my father, and the loyal palace guards, both my brother and father died to their wounds, leaving me as the sole heir, a role I had hope would never befall me."
"Those in court quickly tried to turn this to their advantage, either trying to court me or somehow manipulate me into giving them power."
She shook her head.
"I wanted none of it, and having heard only horrible rumors of the supposed demon army in our lands, I decided I needed to see this for myself."
Aurora then smiled and winked at the queen, who notizably blushed.
"After a few days of travel I came face to face with general Aurora and her forces and, against the wishes of some of my advisors, decided to risk it and dialoge with her," the queen said, as she grew visibly nervous.
"Aurora and her demons were nothing like I had been told, they were lascivious and devauched, yes, but also welcoming and polite. General Aurora was happy to explain to me how you all came to be here and what you had personally done for her, and I must admit, I found it very... compelling."
The general looked at Astaroth and lasciviously licked two of her fingers, making it clear it had not just been words that both women had shared.
Violetta violently blushed as she clenched her long skirt, though the way she was biting her lip made it clear she did not regret the encounter.
