"Everyone across the Six Realms knows the Demon Sovereign adores Lady Seraphina and no one else. You're nothing but a wretched mortal who snuck in here, and you dare call yourself the Demon Queen? Do you have a death wish?"
Seraphina's lips curled into a vicious smile.
"I assumed that since you managed to slither into the Abyssal Palace using that face of yours to seduce the Demon Sovereign, you'd have at least some cunning. Turns out you're just a brainless fool."
"I've been married into the Demon Realm for ages, and I've never once heard of a so-called Demon Queen. You're a mortal without a shred of spiritual power. What could possibly qualify you for that title?"
"If you were truly the Demon Queen, why would you be living alone in the Forbidden Grounds, where not a single soul dares to tread?"
With that, Seraphina turned to the other maidens and gave the order:
"Cut off this wretch's limbs. Let's see how long that sharp tongue of hers lasts."
The maidens drew their spirit swords and closed in on me.
None of them knew the real reason the Abyssal Palace stood so desolate.
It was because the Demon Sovereign forbade any living creature from coming near.
