Demon Emperors
Ch.9 - One year

A few months have passed, and Cyrus is one year old today. Changes in his body began to be seen starting from the small horns on the head and his posture like a 12-year-old human child.

Seen some servants who were busy cleaning the middle room and arranging the family pride decorations for birthday parties and invited some other nobles.

This kind of celebration is indeed like a tradition for nobles when they have 1-year-old children, to introduce their children to everyone.

This birthday party invitation is of course very prestigious and luxurious because the Alexander family is famous for being very wealthy let alone one of the important candidates in the Horns of Hell kingdom, it was also the first child's birthday party.

On the other hand cyrus was dressing up neatly in a noble-like outfit. Makes cyrus so happy because she never celebrated a birthday party like this.

“You are very dear sir, even I have never seen any other noble child as handsome and charismatic as mr.” Said the waiter who was helping decorate Cyrus.

“hm, really?” cyrus blushed when she heard the servant's words.

With a pitch-black horn like Edward's, flaming red hair and eyes on his face like his mother made Cyrus look different to the other nobles.

The descendants of the Charlotte family were the ones who had the fewest lineages among the demon race or were almost extinct and it could be said they were like ancient demons that had blood magic abilities.

Blood magic is a taboo magic in this world, for enemies who fight against blood magic users is a disaster. Since every blood type exists, the blood magic user can use it at will. It can even control one kingdom to kill each other if the blood magic user has reached a high level.

After preparing, Cyrus went to the living room to meet her father and mother who were arranging the servants to prepare for the event.

“Dad... mother... when is this preparation completed? I'm already impatient.” Cyrus, however, must act like a child her age in front of Edward and Amelia.

“Before it's over, you calm down baby.” said Amelia.

“On your birthday you want what kind of gift, Cyrus?” Ask Edward.

“hm. I think about it later after this show is over.”

While waiting for the preparations to finish cyrus left Edward and Amelia. Cyrus wandered around to see every corner that had been adorned so beautifully and magnificently.

But as Cyrus looked at the corner of the park where Anna was, she began to think with the gift her father was talking about.

“Better free Anna from here only.” Mumbles Cyrus in the heart.

Several hours had passed and the guests began to arrive one by one. From among the upper class nobility as well as the lower class nobles, there was also a child of Cyrus' age.

But she did not play with the other little ones, as Cyrus was engrossed in the gifts she received from the noble guests.

The party also reached the core event, now Cyrus is introducing herself in front of all the invited guests. “My name is Cyrus Alexander, from the Alexander family to thank you to the ladies and gentlemen.” With full charisma and manners owned like the upper nobles make the guests amazed to see a one-year-old child.

The night was so fast, the celebration party was over. Cyrus came to her father to ask for a gift that Edward had spoken of earlier. “Dad I want this birthday gift Anna to be my slave.” Put on a hopeful face.

“apa? You want that useless slave? Tomorrow we go to the slave trade close to the royal palace, looking for a slave that suits you.” Edward replied by furrowing his brows.

“I Just want Anna to be my slave!” speaking in an annoyed tone.

“Arrrgghh.. Well tomorrow we will do the slave transfer ritual, but about Anna it is not a gift from father. I will find another gift for you.” said Edward.

Before Cyrus asked Anna's slave Edward, he asked Qwerty how to release the slave contract in this world. But this world has no way to release slaves to be free, once a slave then a lifetime will be a slave and can only change masters if they agree to change masters.

Before returning to the break, cyrus came to Anna's place almost every night to feed her a warm meal using honor points to exchange her for the system and now Cyrus's honor points were only 10 points.

Cyrus did not dispute his now depleted honor points. He felt sorry for Anna because Cyrus was also a human being.

The next day the three of them Cyrus, Edward and Anna went to the slave trade place to perform a hand-shifting ritual. There is only one demon in this kingdom who can lead the slave contract, even when the demon lord gave the war warriors a gift one year ago for the achievement of bringing home the human head, he said, the demon lord lowered his mind to help lead the slave contract.

The slave contract began, Anna's happy feelings were clearly visible on her face. To him getting a master like Cyrus was a dream for the other slaves.

After everything was done as planned, Cyrus asked Edward to go home first because he had a place to visit.

“Isn't it better we go together?” said Edward.

“No dad, how can I be independent when I'm always with you anyway I'm with Anna now.” Refuse it gently.

“ahh, alright.”

“Dear my son, if I hear a little bit of him getting hurt then you will get a very heavy torture!” Edward spoke to Anna while showing her murderous aura.

“Good sir.” Answer Anna

Edward leaves at Cyrus's request, while Cyrus and Anna go in opposite directions. Cyrus, with the help of her map system, finds a place that would be deserted and no one would see them both.

“Qwerty, I want to exchange a set of clothes for women with honor points.”

[A set of clothes has been changed. Your honor points are now 1 point ]

“I will also buy 1 set of warm food, keep both in storage bag.”

[a set of food has been exchanged. The lord's honor points are now 0 points. ]

Moments later they found a small alley in the corner of the city, “Wear this outfit I don't want my slave to look dirty, I'll be waiting in front there.” Give her a set of clothes she bought in the system.

“But sir...” Anna put on a look of confusion, even just feeding him every night is very grateful especially now to give him clothes like a human who was never imagined by Anna.

Cyrus frowned, “Wear the clothes and do not argue..This is an order from your master.” Speaking in high tones.

“Good sir, will I do as your orders.”

After Anna was done they both went home to Alexander's residence. Upon entering the residence, Edward saw Anna entering the residence of Alexander and wearing clothes like a human girl made Edward a little upset.

“What are you doing? It is not appropriate for a lowly slave like you to wear such clothes and even dare to enter my residence.” Edward glared at Anna and spoke in a high tone.

“Let's calm dad, that shirt I bought. I wanted my slave to be different from the other slaves and I also ordered Anna to stay with me because every night I was so lonely.” Cyrus tried to explain calmly.

“arrghh, alright Cyrus. You are an adult anyway.” Edward left leaving both.

At night in Cyrus's private room, she forbids Anna from doing her duty as a slave. But Cyrus gave her the warm food she had stored in the storage bag earlier.
