(Little Girls POV)
After falling asleep, crying inside the big man's arms, I had a dream about mommy and daddy, we were playing in a biiiiig red flower patch.
Out of nowhere, the flower patch then turned into fire. I called out to mommy, but she didn't answer. I tried to call for daddy to but he didn't answer either.
Then the flames disappeared and the big man appeared, he came over to me and picked me up and said, "Everything will be okay now. You don't need to be scared anymore."
I felt my eyes getting wet and unclear.

(Demon Emperor POV)
Holding the shivering little girl in my arms, I kept on whispering to her that everything would be okay. She stopped shaking but then she started crying, probably because she was having a nightmare about what happened.
As I walked through the halls of my castle, I pondered about the future, and how I would take care of this child. I'd never taken care of one before, but I would do my best for her.
I walked towards my throne room, passing the black ornate pillars than lined the red walls that displayed various objects, such as relics from previous Demon Emperor's, or trophies of war as well as the diaries of many important people, who helped our empire grow and develop.
I passed by one diary and stopped to look at it for a second. It belonged to my uncle, the previous Demon Emperor, and it told of his battles and the wisdom he accumulated over his years of ruling.
It was sat on a lectern, made from a violet gemstone and depicted an azure dragon fighting a white tiger, something he'd heard about from his grandfather, two beasts that ruled the land and the sky, or something like that.
I touched the book, remembering fondly the time I spent with my uncle before remembering his unfortunate demise. He was so close to achieving something great, something magnificent, and something that would have changed everything.
...
But that's all in the past now, and I can't replicate what he was trying to do as my powers are not the same as his, or at least, not as powerful. I let my hand slip away from the book and continued on towards the throne room, where I'd announce my adoption of the little girl in my arms, who had stopped crying and was now sleeping peacefully.

I soon reached the doors to the throne room and they opened automatically to my presence, revealing a grand hall that had three intricate and ornate chandeliers hanging from the ceiling that illuminated the room that was decorated with enchanted dark purple marble statues, depicting famous war heroes, that would come to life in the event of an emergency or an assassination attempt.
Standing along the side of the intricately woven carpet, laced with gold and various other precious metals, that led from the doors to my throne were six of the seven demon princes/princesses.
The seven princes/princesses had been serving the empire since before my uncle took the throne. They each held one of the seven great demonic powers, those powers being; [Pride], [Greed], [Sloth], [Envy], [Wrath], [Lust] and [Gluttony]. Each of the seven generals embodied one of these powers.
The power of [Pride]was held by a man named "Prismernos" who was arrogant by nature. He had a toned body with pale white skin, pointy ears, black hair, a sharp gaze and a pair of fangs coming out of his mouth. He wore a set of red imperial armour, which the rest of them were also wearing, and a violet cape draped over his back.
The power of [Envy] was held by a woman named "Iya" who was an extremely vindictive individual. She had green hair and eyes which had a penetrative feeling to it. She had a pair of gold tipped red horns growing out of her forehead and a green cape with a hood cloaked over her. Her skin was fair and smooth, her figure appealing, but not nearly as appealing as the woman next to her.
The power of [Lust] belonged to a woman named "Ellustria" who had pink hair, two small horns coming out of her forehead, a pink heart tipped tail coming from her backside, barely any clothing on, revealing all of her tantalising curves, her thick thighs and her enormous mounds that were on her chest. She had pink, heart shaped irises and a pink cape adorning her figure.
On the other side of the carpet was the other three sins.
The power of [Greed] was held by a short green skinned woman named "Golba" with golden eyes, long black hair that reached her backside and pointy ears, sharp teeth and claws. She had various scars all over her body which were hidden by a golden cape that she used to cover herself with.
The power of [Sloth] was help by a man named "Salomeer" who currently had his grey-haired head lowered more than the rest of the Sins. He had grey skin and grey stone like wings coming out of his back that drooped to the floor with a blue cape draped over them.
As I walked next to him, I stopped for a second and thought, 'Should I kick him in the face? ... Hmm, no, he might wake up the girl and I don't want that.'
The power of [Gluttony] was held by a short and very rotund man with brown hair and eyes named "Gormir" , with a red imperial helmet over his head, the only general who had one on, and an orange cape on his back.
The power of [Wrath] was held by a red skinned war demon named "Argros" who was currently defending our borders against the humans.
As I walked past the Sins and up to my throne, I heard then stand up and salute me. Well, almost all of them, Salomeer was still on the floor. I would make an exception for him just this once.
I turned and sat in my throne, laying the little girl in my lap and making sure she was comfortable before I looked up to address my generals.
"I'm sure you're all wondering why I made this sudden call, and I'm sure you're wondering who this little girl is as well? Wake Salomeer up and I'll tell you." I spoke out with dominance and absolute authority.
Gormir slapped Salomeer in the head with the back of his hand, startling the man awake.
"H-Huh? Wha?" He panicked and stood up in salute before falling face first onto the floor, still saluting.
"Shall I wait till you get back up or can I continue?" I asked coldly.
"Nph, kphy nn." He mumbled into the floor.
"I have adopted the child sitting in my lap, and she shall be my successor." I announced with pride. "She's currently asleep so be quiet."
They all just stared at me with disbelief all over their faces, even Salomeer had whipped his head off the ground to look at me the same way.
"Heh~" I smirked, it was fun to see them like this.
"You- You're not joking, are you?" Ellustria asked.
"No, I am dead serious about this." I replied.
She then proceeded to crumple up on the floor, which wasn't surprising given how she had been trying to court me for years, ever since I became emperor in fact. She was absolutely obsessed with me.
"I- Congratulations I guess?" Gormir said in his gruff dwarven voice.
"Thank you Gormir. I decree that all must hear of this, spread the news to every inch of the empire and make it known that any who dare to harm her will meet a fate worse than the deepest depths of Gehenna!" I commanded.
"Sir, yes sir!" My generals responded before heading out to fulfil my orders.
When they left, I looked back down to see my little angel stirring awake.
