The Announcement (Demon Lord)

The next couple of days were fairly peaceful for Gob. It was clear  that everyone he had already established a relationship with had entered  a whole new level of commitment to him. This had upset him a little at  first as he feared that he was going to lose his friends to being  mindless slaves. He was beginning to understand that the women weren’t  any different. It was like they needed a little time to calm down from  the strength of their new feelings and now they had, their personalities  were shining through again. Tallie was still a little stuck up and she  still enjoyed torturing Bliss. She was getting exalted over giving birth  again soon.

Bliss was still the desperate masochist. She was maybe a little worse  as Gob’s new size and strength filled her mind with dark fantasies. Gob  had realised that she just needed to vocalise all the dreadful things  he should do to her. With a little threatening gesture like he might do  it, she would cum instantly. Gob thought she had gotten worse because  she knew that she was safe from him acting out her fantasies.

April was still work-mad but she had been pestering Gob to have sex  with her again. She was determined to get pregnant. It also didn’t help  that her dark fantasies all involved being fucked by dicks that were too  big for her and Gob’s newfound ability to harmlessly penetrate anyone  with his huge dick was allowing that fantasy to come true. He thought  she might get over it once she got it out of her system but it was still  new and fresh to her.

Rose was less demanding but she gave him predatory looks whenever  they were in the same vicinity. He sensed that she was not particularly  keen on how she was losing herself to Gob. That was making her resist.  Every time he saw her, he could sense her resolve weakening. It would  not be long before she threw herself at him. Gob sensed it would be wise  to visit her before that point. It was better that she blamed him for  seducing her than blaming herself for giving in to her body’s desire.

Gob found anything more than a short nap frustrating these days so he  had plenty of time to see to all three of them daily. Even with regular  sex three times a day he was always interested in the looks, comments  and signals of desire he picked up from the rest of the female palace  staff. There was a pleasure of its own in knowing he could seduce them  but not doing it. There was also the fact that he just didn’t want  things to get any more complicated. That was a wish that would not be  granted.

It was the middle of the day. Bliss and April were working and Gob was  spending some quality time with Tallie. This meant she was on her knees  getting gently fucked from behind. Gob usually like Tallie on top so he  could relax and admire her body but she was almost due to give birth  and it was not fair to ask that of her. He reached down and caressed her  swollen belly. “Your babies will be here soon,” groaned Tallie. “The  birth was so exciting. I can’t wait to feel that again.”

“Keep being good and I’ll reimpregnate you as soon as possible,” said Gob.

Tallie gave a groan of satisfaction and wiggled her butt on his cock.  “I will be good. I always want to have your babies growing inside me.”

Their chat was interrupted by a voice inside their heads. A rich and  commanding male voice that Gob knew well but had not heard inside his  head like this for a while. “My loyal, courtiers, diplomats and  servants. I have returned and will be making an announcement through a  vision soon. Please take a moment to stop whatever you are doing and  await my vision.”

“Did you get that too?” Gob asked Tallie.

“Yes. It’s been a long time since I heard his voice in my head. We don’t need to stop though. You can just keep going.”

“If he’s making an announcement by vision then it must be big. I  think we should pay attention,” said Gob as he quickened his pace.

“No,” groaned Tallie. “Don’t cum, I was enjoying that. Come on, Gob,  don’t…” She stopped as the feeling of his cum hitting her insides  brought her to a spontaneous orgasm. “Aww, you bastard,” she said,  panting.”

“You are very insolent for a slave,” said Gob, giving her a playful  smack on her bottom as he slid out causing a flood of cum to run out of  her.

“I know but I think you like it,” she said as she adjusted her  position. She yelped as gob picked her up and pulled her into bed with  him. She nuzzled against his manly chest.

“You know your own charms so well don’t you?”

“Some guys like a little fight,” she said but she had lost any spark as the comfort of his large, warm body soothed her.

Gob was about to reply but his vision went blurry and then completely  white to be replaced with an image of a woman sitting on a throne. It  took a moment to recognise it but it was the Maou’s throne. The woman  looked at him and he had to remind himself that she was looking at  everyone receiving this vision.

“Greetings my subjects,” she said and Gob immediately realised what  was happening. “It is I, the Demon Lord, the Maou, his magnificence or  maybe that should be her magnificence now.”

Gob looked at the woman. She could have been the Maou’s sister.  Seemingly tall, it was hard to tell with her sitting down, her clothes  were the same as the Maou’s but cut to fit her woman's body. Her dress  coat stretched around an ample bust and her white leggings were filled  out in a far more appealing way, at least to his tastes. Her long,  golden hair seemed to have more volume and the features of what was a  supernaturally handsome face were softened with feminine features now  making her supernaturally beautiful.

“I can sense your confusion so I will clarify. As some of you will  know I have taken some time to tour the Demon Lands in disguise. It was a  most interesting and enlightening exercise. I sound that being in a  woman's body gave me a unique perspective of our land and I have decided  to remain as a woman for the foreseeable future in the hopes that it  will provide the same sense of perspective to my rule.”

She paused and gave a smiling yet menacing look that Gob could feel  in his soul. “I understand that, to some, this might be a controversial  decision. However, I have faith in the intelligence and wisdom of my  subjects to understand that my outward appearance has zero impact on my  ability to rule. I also understand that some of you may have doubts  about it so let me enlighten you.”

Gob was struck with an unpleasant headache and a feeling of pressure  in his head. He pinched his nose at the unpleasant sensation. It was  then he realised that he could feel Tallie changing to him, her nails  clawing at his skin. Though the vision blocked out much noise, he could  hear her screaming but it sounded far away. He reached out for her and  tried to send some feeling of reassurance through his hand. Her  screaming stopped and he felt her relax. A little while later the pain  subsided.

“My apologies,” said the Maou. “I need to be sure that there is no  doubt over who you are dealing with. If, for some reason you still doubt  me, come and find me. I will delight in making an example of you.”

In a blink, the vision ended. Gob looked down and Tallie was sweating  and holding him tight. He picked her up and carried her to the bath,  gently lowering her in. “Thank you,” she said. “It was like I could feel  you protecting me but before that, it was the most intense pain I have  ever felt.” Gob washed her face with his wet hand and he thought about  everyone else. He didn’t know where they were or what he could do to  help so he focussed on helping the person in front of him.

She was calm and clean a little while later so he excused himself and  headed to the kitchen. Graff was on his feet but looking battered. A  couple of the maids had pulled themselves together and others were  crying. “Gob, lad,” said Graff, looking nauseous. “Good to see you on  your feet. Would you mind taking a walk and making sure nobody is alone  and suffering? I… I still need a minute.”

Gob nodded. He loved that old man. He had never seen him looking so  weak but his thoughts were on others. Gob had the strength so he would  use it. He was shocked by how even a strong creature like Graff could be  so affected. He went to Ma’am’s room. She was on her feet and looking  emotionless but she had her spirit body out and was simultaneously  making tea for everyone while ordering those who had shrugged off the  pain more easily into action. Gob pulled her aside and asked if she was  alright.

She gave him a weak smile and said, “Yes, better than most. I wish  that had not happened but I know why it did. I am happy to have her back  home.” Gob explained what Graff had said and she nodded. “Go, check the  library. I had a small cleaning crew in there.”

Gob hurried off. The rows of shelves made finding anyone difficult  but in the central atrium, he found Erryn and Cilla. Erryn was crawling  over to Cilla who seemed unconscious. Erryn’s look of determination  broke when she saw Gob and she burst into tears. “She fell,” she sobbed.  Gob rushed to Cilla. There was blood and she seemed to have hit her  head. She was breathing but it was shallow. “She wanted to finish the  dome and wouldn’t come down,” said Erryn. “I tried to tell her.”

“Can you stand?” Gob asked.

“I can try,” she said and she made an effort to get up.

Meanwhile, Gob picked up Cilla as gently as he could. “Leaf, where are you?” he thought, his mind full of intention.

“Gob?” came Leaf’s new voice in his head. “How are you contacting me?”

“I don’t know but come to the library, now.”

“What is it?” Leaf asked.

“Just come, please,” begged Gob.

There was a small flash and the new Maou appeared before him. She  looked confused and a little cross until she had time to see what he was  holding. “Cilla, no,” she said as she rushed forward. “Is this my  fault?” she asked. Gob just gave the slightest nod and he saw a tear  forming in her eye. “Give her to me,” she said and Gob handed her the  unconscious Cilla. It looked odd seeing this new woman so easily taking  the weight of Cilla’s body but it served to remind him that the Maou was  not the weak girl she had been only a short while ago.

Leaf let go of Cilla and light surrounded her body filled with the  shape of runes and magical diagrams and it floated where she left it.  Gob turned to Erryn who was still on one knee and he helped her up. He  put his arm around her and she allowed him to take most of her weight as  they moved towards their friend.

Cilla gave a gasp and a jolt as she came back to them. The light  faded and she was lowered to her feet. “Who are you?” she asked as she  saw Leaf.

“I am the Maou. You must have fallen as the vision started. I am sure the others will fill you in. I must go.”

“Wait,” said Gob. “What about others who might be hurt? You should help them.”

Leaf shot her hand towards the two maids who vanished. The light left  the room and a crushing pressure enveloped Gob. It was similar to the  pressure the Maou had used on that fateful night but now it seemed less  crushing than before. It was not pleasant but he resisted. “I will not  be told what to do.” Her voice echoed around the room.

“But people might be hurt or dead,” said Gob.

“I know,” shouted Leaf and the light came back. “Don’t you think I  know that?” Her eyes were filled with tears. “Better a few random  accidents than what I would have to do otherwise. Look at me. This is  the price I have to pay to look like this. I’m making myself look weak.  You don’t understand what the fallout of that could be. I had to send a  message.” She was crying as she shouted at Gob. “You don’t know how much  I had to battle with myself to allow myself this indulgence. I don’t  get to do what I want or people suffer. That’s how my life is. So I've  done something that I want to do for once. That means that someone has  to suffer. I wish it wasn’t the case but it is. I can’t be seen to be  helping people Gob. I don’t have that privilege.”

She turned away and walked a few steps holding her arms against her.  “You can’t talk to me like that in front of other people, Gob.” She  paused and added. “Only in private.” She looked back at him, her perfect  face streaked with tears. “Thank you for saving my friend,” she said  with a sad smile and vanished.

Gob took a deep breath. He didn’t know what to feel at that moment.  He turned his confusion to action and set off to check more rooms. If  she couldn’t do something to help, then he could.
