## Demon King's Palace

### **1st Demon King's Palace**

* **Demon Lord**: Vacant
* **Deputy**: Lilith Lucifer
* **Title**: Ruler of Pride
* **Weapon of The King**: Aethernum

The Demon King's Palace is situated in Death Swamp and lies to the east of Great Britain across the Strait of Orkney. It is home to the most powerful Demon Lord, and due to this, it has faced many crusades, with most failing miserably. Throughout the ages, the title of Demon Lord has been held by members of House Lucifer.

The palace gets revenue by selling demon-summoning scrolls in the black market for high prices outside the Demon Realm.

### **3rd Demon King's Palace**

* **Demon Lord:** Mamen
* **Title:** Ruler of Greed
* **Weapon of The King:** Unknown

The Demon King's Palace is situated in the Black Sea between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the United Kingdom. The Demon Lord of Greed is the wealthiest Demon, and the total wealth of his domain can even rival that of the entire demon race. This is in part, due to the palace being in a place where rare gems can be easily mined.

But, even with all this wealth, the domain lacks the most basic thing for survival, i.e., food.

So, to remedy this issue, Mamen has placed many valuable treasures on the many wandering Islands dotting the Black Sea. These islands are heavily organized and stationed with powerful demons. When treasure hunters arrive in search of these valuable items, they are mostly caught by these demons, imprisoned, and raised as livestock. This is one way he resolves the food crises.

The other is he attacks the people, their families, and nations because if you take his things, you will have to pay the price of life. He then enslaves the defeated people as livestock.

### **4th Demon King's Palace**

* **Demon Lord:** Asmodeus
* **Title:** Ruler of Lust
* **Weapon of The King:** Unknown

The 4th Demon King's Palace is situated in Sicily. It lies in the Mediterranean near the Southern United Kingdom, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Holy See. Due to its proximity to the Holy See, it always comes under attack from the forces of the church.

Due to the domain being in a constant state of war, its finances are under stress. The Ruler of Lust's domain struggles financially. So, to raise funds for the region and the constant wars, the current Demon Lord has established brothels at various locations in the universe. This, coupled with his popularity as an idol, can pull large crowds to all his concerts.

### **5th Demon King's Palace**
