My Wives are Beautiful Demons

Sapphire couldn\'t contain herself.

The sound of her laughter echoed with such intensity that the house began to feel the effects.

First, the windows started vibrating, as if the structure of the house was absorbing her uncontrolled joy.

Then, the impossible happened: the window glass shattered with a shrill sound, the shards falling to the floor.

Glasses on the table shattered into thousands of pieces.

The screen of the phone, which had been resting on a couch, cracked from end to end, while the televisions flickered before exploding into a spectacle of shards.

Katharina, who watched everything wide-eyed, could barely believe what she was seeing. Sapphire was laughing so hard she seemed out of control.

The power of her laughter was literally breaking everything around them. The deafening sound of glass shattering only made Sapphire\'s laughter intensify even more.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Sapphire couldn\'t stop. She was doubled over with laughter, pressing her hands against her stomach as if trying to contain the delicious pain from laughing so much. "AHH, MY STOMACH," she yelled between short, gasping breaths. Her eyes were watering, and her jaw was beginning to hurt from the effort, but that only seemed to make her laugh even more.

Katharina tried, unsuccessfully, to stop the woman and her aura, but it was impossible. Sapphire was now completely losing her breath, her face already red, her laughter turning into small squeals as she leaned against the wall for support.

"I can\'t take it!" Sapphire gasped, the words barely coming out between laughs. She started hiccuping, trying to regain control of herself, but her laughter was uncontrollable. The sound of glass shattering had stopped, but now the floor was covered in small, shining fragments, the environment devastated by the fury of laughter. With each attempt to breathe, another wave of laughter escaped her lips.

"Mom!!! You\'re going to kill someone like this!" Katharina finally managed to say, worried about how out of control Sapphire\'s laughter was.

"Is she... okay?" Ada, Roxanne, and Novah appeared as they came down the stairs after the immense destruction that had taken place...

"Oh, my brand new TV..." Novah murmured sadly, seeing the TV with the cracked screen... again... Well, she was the maid, so she\'d just take some money from Sapphire and buy a new one.

"I told her about what he did." Katharina said, pointing to the man sitting on the couch eating a popsicle, as if nothing was happening. Beside him, holding a tray with some sweets, was Viviane...

"Oh! Sweets!" Roxanne said, running over to her. "Lord Vergil was waiting for you, Lady Roxanne," Viviane said. "Take as much as you want, they\'re for you." She smiled gently, and Roxanne nodded and grabbed some new sweets she had never seen in her life.

"Oh... Killing my mother\'s Familiar really is a big joke. After all, he was six thousand years old." Ada commented, and Sapphire began to compose herself...

Sapphire, who was finally able to gather herself, wiped the tears of laughter from her eyes and let out one last chuckle. "Hahaha... that boy is really very interesting." She said, taking a deep breath, still with a gleam of amusement in her eyes.

Katharina glanced at the man on the couch, who continued savoring his popsicle calmly, as if he were oblivious to the whirlwind of chaos and laughter that had just passed. "I still can\'t believe he managed to irritate you so much that... well, you broke half the house with your laughter!"

"Oh, dear," Sapphire said, straightening up and running her hand through her hair to try to regain her composure, "it\'s not every day someone makes me laugh that hard. He really knows how to turn a tragedy into comedy." She cast a curious glance at the man on the couch.

Ada shook her head, an amused smile playing on her lips. "Still, six thousand years of service down the drain..." She pretended to lament, but deep down, she found it funny as well.

Meanwhile, Roxanne, already satisfied with the sweets, rejoined the group, smiling like a child. "These sweets are incredible! I don\'t know where you get these things, Viviane, but... please, keep them coming."

Viviane, with her serene smile and gentle voice, simply inclined her head. "I\'m glad you enjoyed them, Lady Roxanne. I always bring the best for all of you."

The man on the couch finally took the popsicle out of his mouth and looked at Sapphire, his eyes gleaming with a hint of provocation. "Six thousand years or six minutes... it\'s just a matter of perspective." Vergil said with a shrug.

"Didn\'t she want atonement? She can deal with the damage now." He concluded, finally reaching the best part... the filling of the popsicle.

Sapphire let out one last chuckle, still feeling the slight ache in her stomach muscles. "You\'re a real lunatic, kid. But I have to admit, you know how to leave a room in ruins."

"You\'re the one who destroyed everything here, Saph," Vergil said, laughing, after all... the floor was still covered in broken glass.

Sapphire made a face but couldn\'t stop the smile that was forming on her lips. "Alright, alright... I admit I lost control," she confessed, throwing her hands in the air. "But you were the spark that lit this explosion!"

"Yes, yes, just like that defeat was only a matter of time, right?" Vergil continued to tease her, now about the chicken competition...

"You little... I\'m going to kill you if you keep this up." Sapphire said, but Vergil smiled gently at her. "You wouldn\'t do that. I know you adore me." He said, and she immediately turned her face, trying to hide the blush...

\'What is this feeling!\' She screamed internally, turning her face even more.

"She\'s embarrassed..." Ada commented, with a sly smile on her lips, watching the scene as if from a front-row seat.

"Yes, she is," Katharina replied, her voice carrying a mixture of resignation and amusement. She crossed her arms, looking at her mother with a critical gaze. "I\'m going to have to kill my own mother," she added, shaking her head.

"If I were you, I\'d start the acceptance process now," Ada said with a touch of irony. "She\'s going to end up falling for your husband." Ada continued, as if she already knew the inevitable fate of this interaction.

Katharina frowned, watching the way her mother was desperately trying to hide her face. "This can only get worse," she thought, sighing.

Sapphire, the always feared and powerful, was now clearly losing the battle against her own feelings, or rather, to a man!

Vergil, still with the mischievous smile on his face, said nothing, simply observing the chain reaction.

He knew his presence affected people in unexpected ways, but Sapphire... well, she was a special case. There was something about her, a vibrant energy, that intrigued him deeply. Sure, he was enjoying the moment, but he was also aware of the emotional chaos he was stirring.

Sapphire, trying to control her racing heart, shot a deadly look at Katharina and Ada, unable to articulate a decent response. "In love? Me? With this boy? Never!" she thought, but even so, the word "never" seemed increasingly fragile.

Vergil stood up, tossing the popsicle stick aside and lazily stretching his arms, as if he wasn\'t in the middle of an emotional storm. He glanced at Sapphire, noticing her discomfort. "Well, I think I\'ve had enough fun for today," he said casually.

Sapphire scoffed, still avoiding eye contact. "Good that it\'s over," she replied, her voice still laced with a mix of embarrassment and mock anger. She crossed her arms, trying to regain whatever dignity she had left.

"If you need advice on how to handle this," Katharina teased, her lips curving into a playful smirk, "I\'ll be here to keep you far away from MY HUSBAND!"

"Shut up, Katharina," Sapphire shot back immediately, but without the same bite as before.

Ada looked between the two women and then at Vergil, who seemed to be enjoying the entire situation. "You really know how to stir emotions, don\'t you?" she remarked, not really expecting an answer.

Vergil, with his mischievous grin, just shrugged again, as if the weight of his provocations was nothing to him. "I\'m just being me," he repeated nonchalantly, as if everything he did was simply trivial.

Ada, however, wasn\'t about to let it slide. She looked at him seriously, her gaze cutting through the playful atmosphere he was trying to maintain. "That\'s exactly why I wonder how insane you\'ve become. Have you ever stopped to think that you\'re provoking the most powerful being in the demon world?" Ada asked, her bluntness making the room a bit tenser.

Vergil, however, only laughed. His smile didn\'t falter; it grew even wider. "Wouldn\'t be the first time, right?" He tilted his head slightly, his eyes gleaming with a wicked intensity. "Your dear mother will feel some new sensations, too, I assure you. The difference between her and Sapphire is that Sapphire is a good woman. Your mother, well… she needs to be punished."

That last remark was enough to ignite a fire in Ada\'s eyes. Before she could contain her fury, her hand lifted automatically and slapped Vergil across the face, the sharp sound echoing through the room, shocking even those farther away. "Idiot... do you really want to die provoking two Demon Queens?" Ada exclaimed, her voice tinged with frustration and maybe a hint of hidden concern.

Vergil slowly tilted his head, touching the cheek where Ada had struck him. He looked at her with an even bigger grin, as if it had been just another part of the game he was playing. "Maybe I like danger," he said, his voice seductive, provocative, leaning in a bit closer to Ada.

Ada, though irritated, knew that Vergil was playing with fire, but his calmness, even after the slap, only made her more unsettled. "You\'ll find that danger has a high price," she growled, her hand still tingling from the slap.

"Maybe it\'s a price I\'m willing to pay," Vergil responded, his voice softer, yet no less confident.

"Oh! This is so good!" Roxanne interrupted, drawing everyone\'s attention as she held up a small ball coated with chocolate sprinkles. "What is this?! Tell me! This candy is amazing!" she said excitedly, bouncing from side to side, while Viviane smiled.

"It\'s called \'Brigadeiro,\'" Viviane explained gently, "It\'s a Brazilian treat that Lord Vergil asked me to introduce to you."

"It\'s sooo good!" Roxanne beamed, nodding in approval.
