My Wives are Beautiful Demons

It was a sunny afternoon, and Katharina, Ada, and Roxanne were having fun at a mall, doing what every woman loves to do.

Shopping.

They had decided to take a trip together to relax a bit and enjoy some time away from the craziness of daily life. It had been a few months since they had a "girls-only" moment.

In a luxury lingerie store, the atmosphere was laid-back, and they were all in a private dressing room, trying on different lingerie pieces.

Katharina, with her vibrant red hair, stood in front of a full-length mirror, adjusting a delicate silk piece. She twirled from side to side, evaluating the fit.

"I think Vergil will like this one," Katharina commented playfully, while checking herself out. "But only if he's ready to deal with the mess after I take it off." She winked at the two of them, who were not impressed.

"Stop teasing us," Ada replied seriously. "You might be forgetting, but we'll have our turn too, so you better lower that lovestruck smile."

Katharina laughed and made a face. "Well, it's not like he's going out with you now, and he only has one virginity, and it's mine!" She said loudly, thankfully there was no one around.

Roxanne, who had been watching them while trying on an elegant golden set, couldn't help but join the conversation. "You know, I'm starting to think that maybe the romance in Paris is overrated. A night in Rome with wine and pizza would also make my heart race."

Unlike Ada, she didn't care so much that Katharina was the first. In fact, Roxanne was already thinking of a plan to outmaneuver this perverted woman, and she had something special in mind...

Ada and Katharina exchanged a glance. "What matters, Roxanne," Katharina said with a smile, "is that, in the end, romance is all about what comes after. And you know exactly what I'm talking about."

Roxanne gave a mischievous smile. "Ah, I know, I know. The chemistry between a man and a woman." She paused, placing her hands on her hips. "Well, I only care about Vergil," she said, turning to them and showing off the lingerie.

"What do you think?" she commented. Roxanne wasn't really the type to wear something like that, but she was willing to try. After all, it was for him.

"It shows too little, try one that's more see-through," Katharina said. "Or one with fewer embroideries, it looks like your mom who walks around in lingerie here and there without caring if the men are looking." Ada added.

The three of them burst into light laughter, sharing a moment of fun. They were in an environment where enjoyment was the priority, and none of them were in a hurry to leave. Each had her own style and personality, but together, they were inseparable.

Katharina looked at Roxanne and Ada with a playful smile. "Do you two think Vergil will be able to decide which one of us he prefers in each of these outfits?"

"Oh, he doesn't need to choose," Roxanne replied with a mischievous grin. "I'm sure he'll like all of us, one way or another."

"I think I'm being influenced... I'm starting to feel like a pervert," Ada added, striking a pose in front of the mirror.

As Katharina, Ada, and Roxanne continued to have fun trying on various lingerie, their laughter and teasing were interrupted by a light knock on the closet door.

Before anyone could react, the door opened gently, and a woman entered with an elegant posture.

It was Novah, Katharina's personal maid, always immaculate in her uniform with a serene expression. She held something in her hands, a set of red envelopes with golden rose-shaped seals.

"Sorry to interrupt the fun, ladies," Novah said with a polite smile, not appearing unsettled by the laid-back scene she walked into. Katharina, still wearing black silk lingerie, smiled upon seeing her maid and adjusted herself in the mirror, already knowing that Novah had something important to share.

"Novah, what happened?" Katharina asked, stepping closer to her while Ada and Roxanne continued adjusting their own outfits.

Without hesitation, Novah handed over three red envelopes, one for each of the women, with notable formality. "The high demon nobility has called for a social gathering. You have all been invited, ladies. These are the official invitations for the event. The golden seal indicates that this is a formal summons and cannot be ignored."

The three women looked at the envelopes, the seriousness of the message beginning to infiltrate the relaxed atmosphere of the dressing room. Katharina, with her usual curiosity, took the letter and broke the seal, sliding out the red paper to read its contents.

"A gathering of the high demon nobility, hm?" Katharina murmured, already imagining herself in the midst of a grand ceremony. "I knew something was coming, but not this soon."

Ada and Roxanne also took their letters, reading them carefully. "Looks like we'll have to put the lingerie aside for now," Ada commented with a hint of irony, before tucking the invitation into her bag.

Roxanne, with her more direct style, didn't miss the chance to make a joke. "Ah, great. Now I'll need something... more sophisticated for this meeting. Maybe a piece of clothing that will make Vergil as enchanted as I am right now!" She grinned mischievously.

Katharina, still with a curious look, turned her attention back to Novah. "When exactly is it?"

Novah bowed her head respectfully. "The event will take place in two days, Miss Katharina. The location will be at Queen Gremory's residence, a well-known place for those who frequent the high demon nobility circle."

The women exchanged a look, all aware of the weight that this summons carried.

Even with all the fun of the afternoon, the reality of their status and the responsibilities that came with it soon became clear.

They knew that this kind of gathering wasn't just a party; it was more like an exhibition of power controlled by the highest authorities.

"But what about Vergil?" Roxanne suddenly spoke.

Novah seemed to hesitate for a moment under the intense gazes of the three women, but she knew she couldn't keep it hidden for long. She sighed and, with a slight adjustment in her posture, decided to be direct.

"Vergil... has also been invited, as expected. But, unlike you, he didn't receive a conventional invitation. He was summoned by Archon Amon himself," Novah explained with a cautious expression. "I believe something is off, given that it was the Archon who sent the letter... We have already informed Miss Sapphire, but it seems she... was dealing with an unwanted person."

The three women exchanged quick glances, absorbing the information carefully. The name Archon Amon weighed heavily on them, something far greater than any demon noble. His influence was not something to be taken lightly.

Katharina was the first to break the silence, her eyes still fixed on Novah. "Archon Amon... He has the ability to shape any situation to his favor. What does this mean for Vergil?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Novah bit her lip, clearly uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation. "He's been called for something more than just a courtesy. I believe Vergil's presence is a... check. Amon doesn't act without reason, and when he personally summons someone, it's usually because he wants something, or he's testing their loyalty. He's cunning and always has something else in mind."

Ada, who had been silent up until then, tilted her head slightly to the side, observing every word from Novah. "Are you saying Vergil could be a pawn in this game, without even knowing it?"

"I can't say for certain," Novah replied, the weight of her words heavy in her voice. "But it wouldn't be a surprise if he were treated as a pawn in this power game. Amon doesn't do anything without purpose. It could be an attempt to control Vergil... or to test him to see how he reacts."

Roxanne huffed, a wave of frustration washing over her. "Vergil being tested... again." She shook her head. "Always putting him in complicated situations. Does he even know what's going on, or is he just being carried along by the current?"

Katharina, on the other hand, remained calm, her eyes calculating everything around her. "It doesn't matter if he knows or not. What's important is that this is the moment to take control. If Amon wants to put him in a position of weakness, then we must use that to our advantage."

"And how are we going to do that?" Ada asked, leaning forward, interested in Katharina's response.

Katharina smiled slightly, a smile of confidence and power. "First, we'll make sure Vergil understands the real game he's about to play. He won't be the only one being tested. Amon's intentions might be darker than he thinks. We need to stay one step ahead, watching every move, and acting when he least expects it."

Roxanne nodded with a mischievous smile, feeling the adrenaline starting to rise. "I like this plan. Vergil will learn that he can't be the only one being tested."

Seeing the decision solidify among the three women, Novah took a deep breath, still sensing the tension in the air. "You're all so foolish... don't you know your husband?" She questioned, looking at the three women who waited for her to continue.

"Your husband acts irrationally when he's in front of strong people. No matter what you teach him, he won't think of anything but fighting. Wake up to reality!" Novah shouted at them.

The three women exchanged looks and then turned back to Novah. "Aren't you observing our husband a little too much?" they said in unison.

"Eh??!!" Novah blushed.
