Hello again. I'm happy I've got a review on my last chapter. It was nice and better than nothing since at first I thought about keeping it to myself and stuff. Thanks to that certain reviewer (You know who you are) Here's the second chapter. Hope you'll enjoy reading it and a few review would be nice

The reconstruction of Sheol was easier said than done. There was lots of work to do in order to remove all the ruin and restore it back to the way it used to be. Even with immense power in hand, the demon lord still found it rather exhausted. He had to go around the vast land to take care of things with his power so that when everything is done he could remerge his body with the land once more. The only thing pleasant for him during his long day was the fact that wherever he goes Alexiel's soul followed. She had never left his side since that fateful day when her soul could finally break free from Setsuna's soul, never, except for the time she need to feed from the flower the only bloom on the tree of life which was in the third layer of hell. Even so she would only leave once he had fallen asleep and would have returned by the time he woke up again. He had never imagined that there will come a day when both of them become this inseparable for the organic angel was well known for being independent and rebellious. She would never succumb to anyone easily and that's the part of her that had captivated him since their first meeting in Eden. But of course, it had been centuries since that day and had he had followed her ever since. He knew this must mean something to her or else she would never be here, by his side even though she still has no body of her own.
But still he cannot say if she loves him or not. It was almost impossible to think that she would return his feeling. The reason he found that explain why she had remained here with him was only the feeling of attachment for he had been there for her throughout her every reincarnation.
This may seemed to be little comparing to all the love and devotion he had for her, but still for Lucifer this is much more than he could ever ask for.
"The renewal went on very well, your majesty. The northern and the eastern region had been taken care of. At this rate Sheol will be back to the way it was in no time." said the mad hatter during a meeting of the Satans. She looked up at him with the eyes that were still full of admiration and devotion just like they had always been. It seemed that out all six satans that had survived the great war, she was the happiest to see him alive and finally regain the throne of Hell. The rest seemed rather disappointed or frustrated to have him back as their sovereign, especially for Ashtaroth who had always lust after his title for so long.
"That is no doubt good news for all of us. Still there's another important thing to be done, my liege. There must be a replacement of Barbelo, the queen of darkness or else the balance between the seven sins will be lost." Said the Satan of Sloth
"Who is the candidate then? Did any of you have someone in mind?"
Everyone went silent, trying to think of someone that can be qualifying as the new Satan. It was very difficult since most demons that were powerful enough to take this place were all killed in the Great War of heaven and for those who were still alive were the cowards who abandoned their comrades to die in the battle. None of them were should ever earn this respectable title or else it would be a shame for their race.
"What about the organic angel? She is without a doubt very powerful, much more powerful than Barbelo herself. She is also a fallen who has been rejected from heaven by her fellow angel. Not to mention that she is the fairest creature god had ever created and would be suitable for the title of the queen who will certainly bless this realm with a strong heir." said Asmodeus, the Satan of Lust. He looked at the face of his king, then to the blue butterfly that was sitting on his king's shoulder. Somehow he knew his lord had always desire this angel in the same way he had always desire Belial. The only different between them was that the organic angel was not shunned away by the hint of love deep inside the usually emotionless grey eyes of the prince of darkness.
Lucifer frowned at these words. He truly had no intention on dragging Alexiel down to be a part of the despiteful political game of the demon world. He knew she was strong enough to fight against anything, but deep inside he wanted to protect her from any kind of danger, especially from the ones that came from his troublesome subordinate. Furthermore, the idea of producing an heir, his heir, didn't helps making things any better.
"I agree with Asmodeus, my lord. It is clear that the organic angel is our best choice here. Besides, I had heard she also has quite a big temper that only makes her more suitable for the title of the Satan of Wrath." said Leviathan, the Satan of Envy. Every Satan except Belial nodded in agreement. They all looked up at their king without saying a word, expecting for an answer for their proposal.
"Very well then, I shall keep this in mind. I will discuss this with the organic angel once her original body had been awaken. Until then, I would take this burden instead. The restoration of the land shall continue as I'd appointed to you all during the beginning of this meeting. If you have nothing else to discuss with me, then I would take my leave. Thanks to you all for attending this meeting." said Lucifer before he stood up and left for some privacy. The butterfly flew swiftly after him, as if knowing he wanted to say something that the other should never heard.
"Let's think hard, Alexiel. There must be someone other than you that will be suitable for this title."
