The next morning, when Vahn woke, he saw a mesmerizing, demonic beauty lying peacefully in his arms. Lilith's face was veiled no more. The unsettling mask of was darkness gone, replaced by a truly soul-stirring, beautiful face.

Her earlier purplish skin had been purified, changing to a creamy white tone that matched exquisitely with her cascading dark hair. The Spider Demon Curse was gone, but the power of her lineage remained, purified and enhanced. The eight powerful spider legs that extended from her back were now more beautiful and majestic, maintaining a smooth, regal purplish tone.

Overall, she was now a dazzling demonic queen whose unique, captivating beauty immediately stole his heart away.

The transformation didn't matter to Vahn. He loved her the same way he always did. But the fact that she wouldn't have to wear another face to hide her true self anymore brought him genuine joy. She was finally free.

Lilith stirred, her newly liberated face radiating a soft, contented happiness he had never seen before. She met his gaze with a smile.

"Good morning, my Husband," she murmured, her voice husky from the night's exertions and the emotional release. She touched her face, running her fingers over the smooth, flawless skin. "I... I can't believe it. The curse is gone."

"It's gone, my Queen," Vahn confirmed, kissing her forehead. "You are truly free now. The cost was worth it."

As Vahn spoke, his internal focus shifted briefly to his Dual Core. The black and white core had growned bigger and stronger as he made great leap in cultivation in just one night.

He was now Nascent Soul stage 8 Cultivator, almost closing to the Saintesses rank.

Just then, a spiritual chime resonated through the room. It was Seraphina checking in, her voice filled with polite, expectant inquiry.

"Vahn? Lilith? Are you both well? The reports from the border suggest we have a situation that requires your attention."

Vahn smiled at Lilith, who immediately threw the dark silk sheets over her body, the ingrained habit of modesty still strong.

"Tell Seraphina to come in," Vahn instructed. "It is time for the Necrotic Dynasty to officially greet its Second Queen."

Vahn helped Lilith sit up, ignoring the system notification that had flashed hours ago:

> [ SYSTEM ALERT ]

> [ Relationship Bond with Lilith Moonveil complete: 100%! ]

> [ Status: Wife (Second Queen) ]

> [ 100x Rewards triggered: Void Dragon Ultimate (Bloodline) ]

Bang!

The door opened, and Seraphina entered, a tablet of reports in her hand, concern etched on her face, which quickly dissolved into utter shock. She stopped dead mid-step, her eyes widening as they settled on Lilith's unmasked, transformed face.

​The beautiful woman on the bed, radiating potent Darkness Affinity and a fierce, yet fragile, newfound peace, was mesmerizing.

The sight of the magnificent, purified purplish spider legs framing her creamy white body was startling, but the sheer beauty of her face was undeniable.

​Seraphina dropped the reports, the scrolls scattering across the floor, completely forgotten.

​"Lilith?" Seraphina whispered, walking closer, her Holy Light instinctively recognizing the purity beneath the darkness.

"The curse... you're free!"

​Lilith met her gaze with a tiny genuine smile, the first Vahn had ever seen. "Yes, Seraphina. Thanks to him, I am."

​Seraphina looked from Lilith to Vahn, understanding instantly what had transpired. Vahn had honored his promise, not just curing the curse but sealing their bond. She knelt by the bed, reaching out a hand, not in rivalry, but in genuine relief and welcome.

​"I am so happy for you, Sister," Seraphina said, taking Lilith's hand. "Welcome to the family, officially."

​Lilith's eyes welled up again. She squeezed Seraphina's hand. The rivalry was dead; a sisterly bond, forged in mutual admiration and the shared love of a unique man, had replaced it.

​Vahn watched the powerful exchange, satisfied that the internal political structure of the Dynasty was now perfectly balanced. The Holy Light of the First Queen and the Darkness of the Second Queen provided an unshakable foundation.

​"Ahem!"

​Vahn cleared his throat, pulling them both back to the harsh reality of their political situation.

​"My Queens, we must now address the reports. Ezekiel has secured the Oslan region, but he also secured a high-value hostage: Princess Selena of the Frost Giant Kingdom. Our confrontation with the continent's major powers has begun."

​Vahn quickly explained the situation: the Forst Giants' demands, Selena's proposition, and her subsequent defeat and capture.

​"What is your counsel regarding the hostage, Lilith?" Vahn asked, prioritizing the input of his new, powerful strategist. "We have leverage, but we have provoked a war."

​Lilith, now radiating confidence and sharp clarity, immediately responded.

​"The Frost Giants are predictable, driven by bloodline and conquest. They will not tolerate the humiliation of their Princess," Lilith stated. "If our intention is to expand, we must use her to ask surrender from the Forst Giants without too much bloodshed.

​Vahn nodded, eager to hear the next step.

​"We will cure Princess Selena, show her our forces as intimidation, tempt her with our heaven grade resources. If She's intelligent, she will know surrendering is the best option."

"I agree. If Lilith's plan succeed we won't need to commit mutual loss," Seraphina added.

Vahn nodded proudly at his two wives. "Great. We will do as the Second Queen said. Seraphina, I must ask you to heal the Princess."

​"I will do it, Husband. But if she asks for your child again, I'm not sure if I will control myself," Seraphina replied, a genuine flash of fierce possessiveness in her eyes.

​Vahn and Lilith broke into small laughter at her protective spirit.

​Following the plan, Seraphina went to the high-security holding cell to heal the Giant Princess, Selena, who was still unconscious from the powerful impact of the Trident of Pure Light. Seraphina used her Holy Light Arts to gently mend the internal damage and physical bruising, leaving Selena alive and whole, but physically drained.

​When Selena finally woke up hours later, groaning from the remnants of the powerful blow, Ezekiel was there to greet her, standing calmly before the bars of her cell.

​"Welcome back to consciousness, Princess," Ezekiel said, his demeanor utterly unimpressed by her royalty. "Follow me. I need to show you something."

​Selena, still disoriented and weak, had no choice but to comply.

​Ezekiel escorted Selena not to Vahn's chambers, but to a separate, elegant parlor where Lilith waited alone. Lilith was dressed in flowing black robes. Her stunning unmasked face and crystalline purple eyes made her shocked.

The first time she saw this woman, her face was hidden by veil. She didn't know such a beauty was hidden behind.

Not just her. When Ezekiel saw his Second Queen's face for the first time, he was speechless questioning how couod such beauty exist in this mortal world.

But to keep his respectable image, he kept his gaze low.

​"Aren't the consort of that boastful King?" Selena spat, trying to regain her dignity. "What do you want now?"

​Lilith merely smiled, a terrifyingly beautiful expression. "I bring no threats, Princess. I bring truth. Sit."

​Selena, finding the overwhelming gravity of Lilith's pure Darkness affinity impossible to ignore, sat down, defeated.

​Lilith didn't discuss politics. She first focused on the humiliation.

"Selena, your most powerful attack was neutralized by a ring on the hand of a woman who chose not to kill you. Your pride made you blind. The King is not merely strong; he is omnipotent in this region."

​Lilith then extended her hand, and the Dagger of Hecate materialized, shimmering with condensed shadow.

"This is the Dagger of Hecate. A Heaven Grade artifact, forged for me. His ability to create such tools is unlimited. Your father's Kingdom has strong armies, but you have no defense against this level of craftsmanship and power."

​Next, Lilith addressed the very core of Selena's ambition: a powerful child.

​"You seek strength for your lineage. But your Ice Bloodline, powerful as it is, has flaws. It had stagnated caused by generations of inbreeding," Lilith stated, exposing a truth only a deep spiritual observer could see.

"Our King saw this weakness instantly. He told me bring you a gift for your father. It's a Heaven Grade Pill of Glacial Purity. It is not an olive branch; it is the cure for your family's eventual decline."

​Lilith leaned forward, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "He doesn't need to marry you to achieve his goals. He can give your father eternal strength and ensure your future lineage is pure, just in exchange for their loyalty to him and the throne of Necrotic Dynasty."

​The implication was clear: Vahn was so advanced he could help the Frost Giants achieve their ultimate goal without lifting a finger.

​"He defeated you, healed you, and now sends you back with the cure for your Kingdom's greatest weakness," Lilith concluded. "Now, you are not a warrior, Princess; you are a witness. Tell your father the truth: war is suicide. Becoming our King's subordinate is the only path to the strength he desires."

​Selena, utterly broken by the combination of crushing defeat, exposure of her secret flaws, and the dangling promise of ultimate purification, knew she had no choice. She was now a loyal, terrified ambassador of the Necrotic Dynasty.
