The colosseum was still buzzing with the aftermath of Selvara’s victory when the pale demoness gracefully took to the air. Her wings spread wide, carrying her upward in a smooth, elegant arc toward the highest gallery where her family waited. Below, the crowd continued to cheer — commoners loud and proud, nobles quieter but still respectful after witnessing such raw dominance.

Selvara landed lightly beside Aiden’s seat, her usual sharp expression softened just a fraction by the satisfaction of victory. She folded her arms beneath her chest, pushing her breasts up slightly against the crimson-and-gold uniform, and tried to look unbothered, as if the fight had been nothing special.

Before she could even settle, the praises began pouring in.

Luna, still perched sideways on Aiden’s lap with Thristle sleeping peacefully across his other thigh, beamed up at her with bright blue eyes and wolf ears perked high. "Selvara! That was amazing! You were so strong and cool! The way you caught her punch and threw her down... I was cheering so loud inside!"

Nyxion’s fluffy black tail swished excitedly as she leaned forward from her seat. "Selvara is truly impressive. You made it look easy. I felt your power from here."

Lysandra smiled gently, her elegant voice warm with approval. "You fought with such control and grace, Selvara. Well done."

Venya rumbled happily from behind, wings fluttering. "Venya is proud! Master showed the nobles their place, just like My Lord wanted!"

Valeforia smirked, crossing her legs. "Not bad at all. You looked downright sexy tearing through her flames."

Even Liana perked up with a bright grin. "You were awesome! That final move? Chef’s kiss! I want to learn how to do that claw thing someday!"

Ela Voss, sitting beside Liana, offered a soft, sincere smile. "You were very impressive, Selvara. I was a little worried when she kept coming at you with fire, but you handled it perfectly. Congratulations."

Thristle, half-asleep on Aiden’s lap, mumbled drowsily without opening her eyes, "Good... job... Selvara..."

Selvara kept her arms folded, cheeks faintly pink as she tried to maintain her tsundere composure. "Hmph. It was nothing. She was weak. Barely a challenge."

Aiden, who had been watching her with that familiar teasing smile, finally spoke. His free hand — the one not supporting the sleeping Thristle or resting on Luna’s waist — reached out and gently petted Selvara’s white hair.

Selvara growled softly at first, ears twitching, but she couldn’t help leaning into the touch, eyes half-closing in contentment.

"So..." she muttered, voice shy despite her best efforts to sound casual, "where is my gift?"

Aiden chuckled, low and warm, continuing to stroke her hair affectionately. "Always so impatient, my fierce demon wife."

He leaned closer, voice dropping to that intimate tone that always made her heart flutter. "You know what? Nayla told me something interesting the other day. Demons give birth within five months."

Selvara’s eyes snapped open. She looked up at him suspiciously, arms still folded. "So...?"

Aiden glanced over at Nayla with a small smirk. "Isn’t that right?"

Nayla licked her lips slowly, her seductive blue-tinted voice purring with delight. "Certainly, Husband. I’ve been sensing someone inside her for a little while now. A tiny, strong little spark."

Selvara’s eyes widened dramatically. Her hands instinctively flew to her belly, pressing gently as if trying to feel for the life growing within. Her pale eyes glistened with sudden, overwhelming emotion. Tears welled up instantly, spilling down her cheeks as her usual tsundere mask completely shattered.

"I... I..." she whispered, voice breaking. Then the tears came freely.

Aiden gently cupped his hand over hers on her belly, his touch warm and reassuring. "Easy, Selva. Breathe. You’re not alone in this."

Selvara stood up abruptly, legs a little shaky. Luna quickly slid off Aiden’s lap to make space, and Thristle stirred but remained half-asleep. Selvara stepped in front of Aiden, facing him fully, then threw herself forward, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and burying her face in his chest.

"Thank you... thank you..." she sobbed quietly against him, wings trembling as she clung desperately. "My Lord... I... I’m really... carrying your child..."

Aiden held her close, one hand stroking her back while the other cradled her head. "You did wonderfully today, Selva. And now you’re giving me something even more precious. I’m so proud of you. You’re going to be an amazing mother."

Luna bounced on her feet beside them, wolf ears perked high and tail wagging furiously.

"Selvara! This is so exciting! I’m pregnant too, remember? We can be big-bellied together! This will be so much fun."

Nyxion purred softly, tail curling. "Heart Lord’s child... another little one to protect. I’m happy for you, Selvara."

Lysandra smiled warmly. "This is wonderful news. You won’t be alone. We’ll all support you."

Venya rumbled happily from behind, her crimson wings giving a proud flutter as she clapped her hands. "Master is carrying My Lord’s child! Venya is so happy! Venya will protect the little one too!"

Xylendra tilted her head, a soft, rare smile touching her lips as she watched the scene.

"...Congratulations. You deserve this happiness."

Zerra bounced on her toes, grinning widely and pumping her small fist. "Selvara won the fight AND gets a baby! That’s double awesome! I wanna spoil them when they come!"

Arisha crossed her arms with a proud smirk, though her eyes were warm. "Not bad at all. You fought hard today and now you’re bringing new life into the family."

Liana grinned brightly from beside Ela, unable to contain her excitement. "Wow, Selvara! You’re pregnant? That’s so cool!"

Ela smiled softly, her amethyst eyes shining with sincere happiness. "I’m really glad for you, Selvara. You looked so strong out there... and now this. It suits you."

Selvara cried harder for a moment, then pulled back just enough to look up at Aiden with wet, glistening eyes, still clinging tightly.

Aiden cupped her cheek, thumb brushing away a tear. "You’re going to be perfect, my tsundere demon. Strong, protective, and secretly the softest one of all. I can’t wait to see you with our child."

Selvara sniffled, cheeks burning, but she didn’t pull away. "B-baka... don’t say such embarrassing things..."

But her arms tightened around him anyway, and a tiny, shy smile broke through the tears.

Aiden chuckled softly, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "We’ll celebrate properly when we get home."

Selvara nodded against his chest, finally allowing herself to relax fully in his embrace.
