Laharl has reigned as the Overlord for nearly 1525 years. Much has happened during the course of his reign...

1525 years ago, Laharl joined Flonne in Celestia to confront the Seraph about an angel assisted invasion of the Netherworld by the Earth. During the confrontation, Flonne was punished by the Seraph and transformed into a beautiful flower. Laharl was furious that his friend was being punished for now reason and attacked the Seraph. The Seraph willingly accepted his own punishment at the young Overlord's hands.

Laharl, however, could not bring himself to kill the Seraph. He knew that even if he did, it still wouldn't bring her back. Instead, he chose to sacrifice his life for her. Just as he was about to, Midboss suddenly interrupted! He explained to Laharl that he should not so easily throw away the life that his mother had sacrificed herself to save and that his friend was far from dead. Shortly the flower transformed into a fallen angel. This was what marked the beginning of an age where demons and angels could co-exist with one another in peace and harmony.

1523 years ago, Laharl and his right hand vassal Etna had a falling out. His 'loyal' servant left the Netherworld for Veldime in the hopes of defeating the Slayer of Overlords and becoming an Overlord herself.

During the course of 'her' adventure, she ended up having her level revert all the way back down to level one. As a result, she ended up joining with Adell in the hopes to regain her lost levels (which by the way, it was entirely her fault dood). Laharl ended up tracking her down to take her back, but ended up being badly beaten by a Dark Rozalin.

During the final showdown with 'Zenon' it was revealed that he was in fact an impostor and that the real Overlord Zenon was actually...Rozalin! The real Zenon had come to Veldime 18 years prior to be reincarnated, and the impostor had tracked her down and decimated the Snow Clan so that he could have his revenge. After the fake Zenon had been defeated, the curse was lifted and Laharl and Etna reconciled and returned to their Netherworld (with Hanako joining Etna as her apprentice).

Approximately 1473 years ago on Veldime, Adell's 'mother' was on her deathbed. Adell was right there by her side because that was just the kind of thing for him to do. She had something important to tell him before she passed away and Adell listened intently.

"What is it, mom," he asked expecting her to tell him her last wishes so that he could carry them out on her behalf.

She weakly looked up at him and began gently, "Adell, you do realize that...you are a demon right?"

The sound of a piano crashing could be heard nearby, and shortly thereafter silence echoed in the room. Adell, who had neither changed in attitude nor appearance was clearly shocked to suddenly find out that all this time he was actually a demon and not a human. He then pounded his fist into his open palm. "There's no way I could be a demon! If I was, then wouldn't you have told me a long time ago?"

"I thought you would have figured it out by now," she explained, "it's not my fault that its only revealed in the bad ending. Look Adell, haven't changed in the slightest. Didn't you notice how odd it was that that you never got any older while everyone else around you did?"

"No, not really," he admitted.

"You watched Taro grow up into a young man, you were the best man at his wedding, you were there when his kids were born, and now his oldest child is about to get married and you still haven't noticed?"

Adell shrugged. "Well, I just kind of figured it was normal. I mean, after all, is there any sort of linear time line in Nippon Ichi games overall?"

Rozalin decided to walk into the room. She had wanted to check up on Adell and his mother, but ended up waiting outside after she overheard their conversation about Adell being a demon. She decided that it would probably be better if she joined in on their conversation.

"So, all this time, Adell had really been a demon," she inquired.

"That's parents were demons who had come to live in Veldime in order to live peaceful lives. When the fake Zenon started taking over, they entrusted their son to me and tried to stop him."

"Why didn't we find this out after Adell beat the game and got the good ending," she wondered not quite understanding why only the bad ending would reveal the truth.

Adell wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "Dunno, cause apparently the only way I was gonna find out was to get the bad ending."

"Well that's stupid. By the way, did I hear you two say that Tauros was getting married?"

"Yah, but you already knew that didn't you," Adell asked.

"No I did not," Rozalin yelled angrily, "nobody tells me anything anymore!"

"I'm sorry Rozy," Adell apologized, "I would have told you myself but I thought you already knew."

Rozalin sighed. That was Adell for her. "Speaking of getting married," she began hint-hinting, "when are we getting married?"

"Someday," he told her proudly.

"You always say that," she complained.

"Yah, but you know that I will. But it is kind of weird that the only way for me to find this out was to get the bad ending. It wasn't like that in the first game, was it?"

"That's right," his mother commented, "when Laharl got the good ending, it was practically revealed that Midboss was really...."

38 years ago...due to the lack of a Slaystation 3, this segment of the prologue will be lacking in the appropriate relevantly irrelevant content. Just assume Almaz and Sapphire are married, Mao now runs Maritsu, Raspberyl is still an annoying delinquent, and all your attempts to summon Salvatore into the real world to fulfill your fanboy fantasies all fail.

Now then, back to 1525 years after the original Disgaea!
