Chapter 14
Third Person POV
True to his word when they returned Issei brought Alice to Irina and made his request.
"Irina, please remove the compulsion and servant traits from Alice please. I am no longer content with a simple servant, I want her to be the Queen, she deserves to be. You know what I'm asking?" Issei requested.
"Yes. I believe I do. Are you ready Alice?" Irina asked.
"Meister, what shall I call you then?" Alice asked Issei.
"You may choose, just not beloved." He joked.
"Understandable. I am ready, Schopfer." Alice said bracing herself.
Irina concentrated on her power over Alice and grabbing onto the threads of her life, and then focusing more she made the requested modifications. After doing so she sat back with a sigh.
"Thanks Iri." Issei said gratefully.
"You're welcome, Ise." The reincarnation of his old friend said happily.
Alice smiled at the two. Issei in both lives had and has always been good at finding women who would fall in love with him.
These two hadn't changed, though they still had that thin veil between their feelings for each other and it frustrated Alice and Ada, when they try to get the two together.
After a bit of banter between the two Issei brought Alice home so she could rest after the ordeal she had and was facing. She was free to do as she wished now, Issei had made that clear, but Alice only wanted to do a few things, one of which was to rest with Issei.
"Hey, Issei, here's your mail!" Toshiro called knocking on the door of Alice's room.
"Come on it, nothing is happening that would burn your innocent eyes." Issei said smirking.
Toshiro entered with a growl,"I resent that, but anyway, these are yours. I'm passing out everyone else's as well."
With his job done he left.
This allowed the Dark Monarch to look over his letters and two names stood out, Lilin and Layla.
He took Lilin's and opened it, he read the letter with a fond smile on his face,
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm glad to say, that I've learned of your return and am coming to see you. On a related note, America is fun, and the men here aren't bad either, if you catch my drift. Anyway, I hope you both are happy and I will see you soon.
Hugs and many kisses,
Lilin Satan
The second Letter was address to him, but upon opening it he found two letters, one for Alice, and the other for him. Hoping to make Alice a bit happier he handed Lilin's and Layla's letters to Alice, as he read the one Layla wrote him.
Dear Step-father,
I understand you have returned and knowing Mother isn't far away, I am writing to you to inform you that Father and I will be visiting. I hope to see you in good health and I also want to want you ahead of time, I won't abide by your perverted servants looking in my clothes like those two crazies used to. I will cause them immense bodily harm if such happens again. Also, it would be prudent for me to inform you that I request to stay with you and Mother for a while as I hope I now have the chance to.
Sincerely,
Layla Valentine
Issei laughed at the formal tone of the letter he received, but meanwhile Alice was staring at the letters she held with a happy smile.
"All we're missing is Cheryl." She joked.
"Knowing her, if she was here it'd be chaos." Issei said with a scowl.
"You're just grumpy because she convinced the girls to give you a makeover." Alice giggled.
Issei mock-huffed, but smiled.
"We'll see them soon." He said.
So once again a temporary peace returned and the groups woke up to their normal breakfast, cooked by a much more relaxed Alice.
Upon learning the unstable daughter was returned to normal everyone was slightly uneasy, but seeing Trihexia acting like any other girl when around her mother made the others relax and smile. Akasha and Trihexia were definitely Alice's daughters. Though Trihexia seemed to be more of a daddy's girl as she had Issei wrapped around her finger.
As they left, Alice began to explain hers, Issei's, Akasha's, and Trihexia's backstories.
"Issei, is a wealthy son of two diplomats who has spent his life living with babysitters and on his own. I am a German woman who has come to teach English and Art as well as to seek sanctuary from Akasha's Father with Issei's father since he and my first husband were friends. I'm also living with Akasha, whose story is partially true, as she was born from me being raped in Romania and I ran away to seek sanctuary here. Vali is Issei's cousin and he lives with us as well." Alice explained to Trihexia.
The others nodded as this was what the rumors among school had added up to, minus the rape, most thought Akasha was born from an Angel or some God who blessed Alice with a beautiful daughter.
"You will be my Second daughter who's father died and I am taking care of you after your grandparents death. You must remember to call your Father by his human name while at school, I must also ask that you stay in your 18-year-old form so you will be a Senior in classes with your father, Rias, Akeno, Sona Sitri, and Irina, just as Akasha is a Junior with Koneko and Gasper. Understand?" Alice asked, making sure to give Trihexia a look which said 'If you don't follow the backstory you're grounded.'
"Of course Mother, I'll keep to the script. I promise." Trihexia promised.
"None of your Chaos. Not at school." Alice said sternly.
"Yes Mother." Trihexia said nodding.
"Good, now everyone. Just because you're all part of the supernatural doesn't mean I won't expect you to do your work. Schatz Issei, you have no excuses, you already know it all." Alice said.
So later in class Issei sighed when Alice informed the students there was a new student.
Trihexia entered with a smile on her face. She wrote her name in Kanji and in English on the board when asked and gave a bow to the other students.
"Hello everyone, my name's Tria Valentine. I hope we can all get to know each other very well." Trihexia said smiling.
"Are you related to Mrs. Valentine?" A girl asked.
"She's my mother, I've been living with my grandparents you see, but now I'm here to live with my mother." Trihexia informed.
"What about your father?" One guy asked.
"He died." She replied with a sniffle that immediately made every guy except Vali, who knew better, feel like trash.
"Take a seat Tria, now let me tell you all now. Any inappropriate actions or words I see or hear concerning my daughters, will be punished harshly. Understand?" Alice asked scanning the faces of the males in the class who quickly all stiffened and chorus,"Yes ma'am!"
As the day went on the students spoke to the two sisters and asking questions. It wasn't long before the students of Kuoh Academy learned that there were four Valentine daughters, Trihexia and Akasha explained that their Eldest sister was in America with their "Uncle" and the sister a year older than Akasha(and younger than Trihexia) was in England with her father. The led many to hope to and wonder if they would meet the other two sisters.
So while rumors and gossip were abound no one noticed the pair with holy auras and their owners entering the school and the office.
"Mrs. Alice Valentine, you're needed in the office." A staff member called over the intercom.
"Everyone continue, I'll be back soon." Alice said and soon she arrived at the office to find two people waiting for her with the Devil that Lord Gremory placed to oversee the school.
The first figure was a man with pale skin, rich abyss black hair and slate grey eyes, he wore a grey dress shirt with a black suit-jacket black dress pants and grey dress shoes. He held himself in a relaxed manner, but his eyes spoke of an analytical gaze taking in every little bit of information.
The second figure was a 17-year-old girl with familiar porcelain-like skin, sharp, aristocratic features, rich black hair, crimson red eyes, and fangs. She wore a white blouse with a black jacket, white skinny jeans, and black running shoes.
"Azzy Liebe." Alice greeted with a smile.
"Alice." He greeted, he didn't smile, though his lips twitched upwards.
"Do you wish to speak to this man Lady Valentine?" The Devil asked, he'd been immediately informed of who Alice was when everyone found out and that made him adamant on keeping on her good side.
"Yes, could you go and watch my class for me. If anyone asks, I am speaking to my ex-husband." Alice requested then informed.
"Of course, this is obviously a personal meeting." He said and happily went to do so. He could deal with a group of teenagers, he'd much rather do that than listen to the conversation of the two adults of the trio.
"So, how have you been Azzy?" Alice asked.
"I've been having a great time and I've spent a lot of time with Layla, however, I need to return to Heaven so I must leave Layla with you." He informed.
"Azzy, I apologize for disappearing. I have inconvenienced you more than I should have." Alice apologized.
"I will be staying today and leaving tomorrow, but Layla wants to be with you today and so she shall." The man said turning to leave.
Alice looked down,'Does he... Resent me for it?'
"I don't hold it against you, you know? I understand, just like you understand me." With those words said, he left.
Alice smiled at his retreating form before turning to the girl.
"Layla, how have you been meine tochter?" Alice asked in a soft tone.
"I've been great, I've missed you, but I've kept my promise. I've always kept the smile that makes you and Daddy happy." The half-vampire said with the aforementioned smile.
"That's great, I've kept my promise as well." Alice said,"I'm always thinking of you and your sisters."
"Now, since we are undercover here, I must give you the rundown of our backstories we are using and your place in the backstory." Alice informed and did just that as they walked.
When Alice arrived back to her class the Devil man smiled,"How did it go Miss Valentine?"
"It went fine, just a small chat. I thank you for watching the class for me." Alice said and after making it clear he was happy to do so the Devil quickly left and upon looking around Alice found herself with her Art class that Issei and the others were in.
Layla had also looked around by now and found Trihexia.
"Tria!" She said rushing over to her half-sister with a large, happy smile.
"Layla, It has been a while, I have missed your angelic voice." Trihexia said with a smirk.
"Why don't you help your sister Layla, you deserve some bonding time?" Alice said as she began to walk around and analyse the works her students had done.
"Very nice Miss Gremory, you've captured Mr. Hyodou's likeness very well." Alice complimented.
"Accurate depiction of a thunderstorm Miss Himejima." Alice said complimenting the half fallen angel as well.
She went on to compliment others on their works and the students all noticed the occasional soft smile in the direction of her daughters. The Gremory group and Issei's peerage found themselves walking home without Alice and Trihexia.
"Where are Tria and Alice?" Yuuto asked.
"They went ahead, we have guests. That reminds me, be on your best behavior and whatever you do, don't annoy the man. He's normally really calm, but his anger isn't something you want." Issei warned.
When the group arrived, they entered to hear Alice, Trihexia, and Layla(for those who saw her) giggling as they all cooked together. Standing with his hands clasped behind his back was the man from earlier with his rich black hair, slate grey eyes, and pale skin. He now wore his dress shirt and pants, with his coat on the rack and his shoes at the door.
"Hello Satan, Milady." He greeted to Issei and Irina.
"A pleasure." Issei replied
"Glad to see you again." Was Irina's rely.
"Who is he?" Vali asked.
"This is the only other man in existence who has been allowed to see Alice romantically." Issei said cryptically.
"Man?" Vali asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What, you expect Alice to be into only guys? If she wanted I'd have allowed her to use her transformation ability so she could get with Lilith or the others." Issei said causing several of the others to wish he'd said less.
"I am Azrael, it is a pleasure to meet the True Heir of Lucifer." The now dubbed "Azrael" informed.
There were several gasps at this revelation.
"Everyone sit down, Akasha would you like to join us?!" Alice called.
Akasha immediately rushed into the kitchen upon the offer being made. After everyone had settled and processed that they were eating dinner with the Angel of Death. Of course when one is eating with Satan and God as well it just becomes something you accept as reality.
"So Azrael, you and Issei seem to get along." Rias noted.
"Well of course, we may love the same woman, but I am just not the man for Alice. I leave those laurels purely on the shoulders of Satan there. I got a beautiful daughter and some of the greatest events in my life from the union I did have with Alice, so it was worth it." Azrael informed with a small smile as he remembered the events he spoke of.
"We may not agree on some matters, but I trust Azrael to want the same thing when it comes to Alice's happiness, the best she can get, nothing less." Issei said and received a nod.
"Besides, I could never keep up with Alice's stamina, Milady definitely created someone with the stamina of a War god." Azrael grumbled.
"Too much information Daddy." Layla said as she and the other three entered and set the plates down.
"Yes Azzy, there are children present." Alice teased.
"So Azrael, you'll be going to Heaven tomorrow, right?" Issei asked.
"Yes, I've got to get back, why?" Azrael asked confused.
"Could you give this to Michael when you go?" Issei requested handing Azrael a folder filled with papers.
"I'll pass it to him." The Angel of Death accepted.
"Hey Issei, where's Zynirith?" Vali asked noticing the sarcastic Incubus was not present.
"I sent him on a small mission to the Underworld to check something for me. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for Azazel to get what I requested to fulfill the Incubus' request." Issei answered.
The rest of the dinner was spent making small talk and the occasional whisper of information from Issei to Vali and Irina.
After Azrael had left everyone had begun to relax and went to bed, but in the middle of the night a small bat went over to Alice, who was up and sneaking toward Issei's room. She had a small telepathic conversation with the bat and when finished she sped up her walk to Issei's room, he should definitely hear the information she had received.
