Moths Later
Months passed since Grayfia announced her pregnancy to her family, now she was visibly pregnant to the eye. Her due date was in months.
She also took a leave from work due to her pregnancy, resulting Sirzechs to work more hours and giving him less time to be with Grayfia and his children.
Venelana also often accompanied Grayfia when she could. She was very ecstatic for having another grandchild to dote on.
The twins were also on their mother's side whenever they could. Now they train much more and they also improved a lot. They want to be strong to be able to protect their little sibling in the future and for that, they need to train.
Lucina improved her mastery over the power of destruction and her swordsmanship were developing well. While Lucina favors the swordsman way, Alicia prefers to fight long-range.
He was no pushover when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, but he excels in long-range combat. His mastery over ice magic and devil came in handy for a long-range fight, when Grayfia asked why he prefers to fight at long range, he answered "Because if you can defeat an enemy from a far, there's no need for you to get closer, right?" Grayfia only shook her head and smiled hearing his answer.
She also thought that Lucina and Alicia's fighting style complement each other. Both Sirzechs and Grayfia were proud for their children's development.
Grayfia watched on the side as her children spar with each other. With Rias standing next to her, watching with awe.
"They're so cool!" True to Rias words, the fight was captivating to the eye. Their movements are graceful yet precise. They countered each other perfectly.
When Lucina tries to close the distance between them, Alicia immediately jumped back and casted a spell that slow Lucina's approach.
"Come fight me like a man!" Lucina yelled. Annoyed with her brother fighting style. She then proceeds to apply magic to her feet and jumped towards Alicia, her fist was coated with the power of destruction. s
Alicia applied magic to his feet and jumped, just in the nick of time. If he was a second to late, Lucina's coated fist would meet his face and he would lose the spar. When in the air, he created a bow made out of magic and shoot three arrows towards Lucina.
"You're wide open!" Alicia yelled. But he was surprised when his sister turns around and deflect the arrows with a sword.
The black sword was coated with Power of Destruction.
The sword was a gift from Sirzechs to Lucina, who she named Regina. The sword was made from the strongest material on the underworld and was crafted by the best blacksmith. It has the appearance of black western sword with a length of ninety centimeters and a width of twelve centimeters, it also has ancient devil runes inscribed on it.
After she successfully deflected his attack, they both jumped back, now there was a distance between them. Both of them stood still, waiting for the other to make an opening. Alicia focused his sight on the sword, the sword that his father gave to her when she was able to use one of Sirzechs technique in using the Power of Destruction. He was a little a bit of jealous and angry when he knew that Sirzechs gave his twin a sword but Grayfia managed to calm him down. She also gave him something that he will forever cherish.
It was a necklace. It was passed down from Grayfia's mother to her and then to him. The necklace has silver chain and a crescent designed on the middle.
So, to counter Lucina's mastery in close combat, he fought from a distance.
Twelve magic circles appeared behind him, from the magic circles emerged the muskets made from pure magic. It then proceeds to barraged Lucina with magic bullets, fired from the muskets.
Lucina countered with creating four magic circles and shoots her Power of Destruction, exploding the bullets mid-air. With the explosion blocking their vision, Lucina ran towards Alicia and tries to slash him from the front.
Reacting just in the nick of time, Alicia creates a shield and managed to block the slash. But the slash was powerful that in made him flew across the field.
"Be careful, Lucina! That strike could really hurt your brother!" Grayfia yelled from the sideline. She was worried that her children were taking the spar too far, and they could hurt each other badly.
"Yes Mama!" Lucina responded. She felt bad that she poured a lot of her Power of Destruction on that attack. She ran towards her brother, to check up on him.
But the only thing she saw was her brother grinning to her, a trail of blood could be seen on his lips.
Alicia immediately dashed towards his sister, a twin blade in his hands, the twin blade was purely made from magic. He tries to slash her torso but she managed to parry his attack. Both of them attack each other, parrying each other attacks.
While Alicia favors long-range but he was not a pushover when it comes to close combat. He usually used a twin blade or a spear whenever he fought in close range.
The fight went on for a while, you could say that they were tied. When Lucina was able to land a blow on him, he jumped back and created a distance between them. He then casted his magic and shoots it towards her.
"How about we end this with one last move?!" Alicia asked his sister as he grinned towards her. Lucina grinned back and jumped back while Alicia flew up.
Alicia creates a crescent bow and a magical arrow. The bow and arrow were larger than he was, it was hovering above him and the arrow greatly increased in size and shone brightly. Now the size of the arrow was equal to a large tree.
Lucina held Regina above her and gather her magic into it. The black and red particles of magic slowly gathered into her sword, making it shone.
Both of them finished their preparations and are ready to unleash their attacks towards each other.
Realizing the potential of their techniques, Grayfia immediately casted a barrier to protect her and Rias.
A second later, the twins unleashed their attack.
A ray of condensed energy hitting each other caused a great explosion to occurred on the field. The explosion was great that it even made a small crack on Grayfia's barrier, she was also blinded by the light making her unable to use her eyes properly. While Rias was sitting because the ground trembled due the strength behind Lucina and Alicia's attack.
After a moment, Grayfia could see again. She dispelled the barrier after explosion dies down and immediately scanned her surroundings, searching for her children. She was worried about the well-being of the two. The aftermath of the battle was a mess; the scorched earth, trees separated from their roots, and of course, the huge crater in the middle of the field.
She was anxious but then she felt relieved when she saw them. They were both unconscious but the grin plastered on their face was clear as day.
Grayfia sighed. The aftermath of the battle was a mess. It will be a pain to repair the damages but an idea popped inside her head.
"Rias… for your training, you will repair the damages they caused and fix the training field." She said to her sister-in-law, who looked mortified.
"B-But..." Rias tried to complained but when she saw the scary look on Grayfia's face she immediately shut her mouth. Grayfia then left Rias alone while she held the twins in her arms.
That day Rias swore vengeance to her nephew and niece for making her cleaned up their mess.
With Grayfia
They were in Alicia's room, Grayfia then proceeds to gently lay the twins in his bed. While Lucina has her own room, she prefers to sleep with her brother. Alicia protested but Lucina didn't listen and forced her way into his room.
There was one time where he locked all the entrance in his room and casted an anti-magic spell in his room, making nobody could teleported in his room, with the exception the person who teleported is stronger than him.
Even with all the precautions he set up, he still found her next to him in the next morning. Sleeping like a log with a satisfied smile on her face.
Seeing there were many minor wounds on their bodies, with Alicia having more wounds than his sister, Grayfia locked the door. She then undressed herself, now naked without even a tracing of cloth on her body, she lay down and hugs her children, bringing them closer to her. The wounds on their bodies started to healed and disappeared, not even leaving a scar.
She looked towards the sleeping faces of her children while she also rubbed her stomach gently. She loves her children, and she's also excited about the future that her children would bring. The twins and her unborn child.
She hopes that the twins would be a good example for her unborn child, but seeing how they acted in front of Rias, she didn't get her hopes high.
It was Lucina and Alicia who introduced Rias to Anime. Now Rias became addicted with it, even she was very interested in Japanese culture. With the constant story-telling by Okita also add fuel to the fire of Rias addiction towards Japanese culture.
She also hopes that Sirzechs could spent his time equally with his children. Grayfia knew that Alicia was jealous whenever Sirzechs and Lucina did activities together. The longing eyes on his face whenever he saw them, it hurts her.
Somewhere deep in her heart, she knew that Sirzechs spent more time with Lucina because she could use the Power of Destruction properly. But she didn't want to acknowledged that. After all, before Alicia's accident he spent his time equally with the both of them, they used to play and train together.
They used to play a game. Where Sirzechs is the evil demon lord and the twins are the heroes. Sometimes Grayfia also joined as the princess who's abducted by the demon lord. OF course, she only joined caused she was forced by her children. She couldn't say no to her children, especially when they used their ultimate card, the puppy eyes technique.
She should talk to Sirzechs in the future.
At Night
The Gremory family gathers at the dining room, it's a common occurrence that they eat together in the dining room.
Zeoticus sat at the head chair, signifying his position as the head of the Gremory. Venelana sat at his left and Rias on his right, sitting next to Venelena was Alicia. While Grayfia was next to Alicia and Lucina sat across Grayfia. There was an empty chair on the other side of Zeoticus, it's the chair where Sirzechs usually sat.
Sometimes even Grayfia didn't joined to eat, she was doing her duties as the head maid of Gremory, but since her pregnancy, Zeoticus and Venelena told her to joined them.
When the servants were serving the foods, the door opened. Revealing Sirzechs Lucifer.
"PAPA!" Lucina ran and jumped on Sirzechs, as he arrived at the dining room. She engaged him in a hug, where Sirzechs hugged back. Rias went to joined too where Sirzechs released Lucina and hugged his sister.
Alicia also ran towards him. "Father!" Sirzechs then ruffled his head, making him smile. Grayfia smiled lovingly seeing the sight.
After that they sat back on their seats and they started to eat.
"Papa Papa, I succeed to improve the technique I showed you last time!" Lucina told Sirzechs about the technique she used to at the end of the spar with Alicia.
"As expected, you never disappoint me! How about we have a spar in the morning?" Sirzechs praised and asked Lucina for a spar. Suddenly his head was hit by Grayfia, with a harisen, who appeared out of nowhere.
"Sirzechs-Sama, tomorrow morning you have a meeting with Leviathan-Sama, Beelzebub-Sama, and Asmodeus-Sama. And in the afternoon, you have to meet with the border team, after that you have to finish the rest of your paperwork." Grayfia said with a straight face but her aura was leaking, menacingly.
"Calm down, Grayfia. I can do my duties as a Maou properly." Sirzechs said.
"Properly? Like when you hung out with Leviathan-Sama and had an argument just to prove who is better between Rias-Sama and Sona-Sama… when you could use the time to do the paperwork. Or when you were drunk with Ajuka-Sama and Falbium-Sama when you should've attended to a meeting about the economy. Don't think you can't slack off when I'm not around…" Grayfia stated, while looking at Sirzechs… Menacingly.
Sirzechs paled and turned towards Lucina to asked for help but the reply he got was her mouthing "You're on your own." He looked towards his parents and sister but they looked away, not wanting to get in the way of Grayfia.
He then turned towards his last hope, the only person who Grayfia can't say no to.
He pleaded to Alicia to saved him with his eyes. Alicia was hesitant, he felt bad for his father but if he helped him, then he will also receive the wrath of his mother. So, he did what every people would do, he looked away.
'Traitor!' Sirzechs thought. He was prepared to receive his punishment now.
"But you did try your best… So, in the future, please do your work first before you have some fun, Sirzechs-Sama." Grayfia said, unexpectedly. Usually, she punished Sirzechs for slacking off.
'Is this what mood swings are like?!' The children thought.
Sirzechs was saved! It was his lucky day.
"Oh, and before I forgot, the day after tomorrow the Astaroth family will join us on dinner here. With Sirzechs and Ajuka attending as well, so please be on your best behavior. Oh, and Alicia… there was someone me and Sirzechs want you to meet." Zeoticus informed to the children.
'Someone for me to meet? Astaroth family is Ajuka-Sama family, right? I heard that he has a little sister. Hmm, I wonder what person is she like? Guess just have to see it on my own.' Alicia thought.
"Yes, grandfather." Alicia replied with a nod.
"Oh! And I have something to tell to the both of you." Sirzechs said to Lucina and Alicia. The twins only looking with curiosity looming on their faces.
"Me and Grayfia want you guys to receive the evil pieces. We're planning to take you both to Ajuka, maybe a week or two after your unborn sibling birth. I already asked Lord Sitri, and he said that Grayfia's due date is in two months." Sirzechs announced.
The stars in their eyes could be seen from the others. They couldn't contain their excitement, they will have a little brother or a sister in two months, and their father just told them they will receive their evil pieces after the birth of their unborn sibling.
Speaking of their unborn sibling, Alicia had some thoughts that he wanted to share.
"Speaking of the baby in mother's stomach, do you guys already plan a name for him/her?" Alicia asked.
"No, not yet… How about we talk about it now?" Grayfia said as he ruffled her son's hair. Alicia blushed receiving the affection from Grayfia.
"Then I want to go first! Me! Me!" Lucina stood up while raising her arm to the air.
They all chuckled, and Sirzechs gave her the permission to go first.
"If it's a boy I want to named him, Alicia V2. And if it's a girl, Lucina V2" Lucina finished with a smug look, like she just shared the greatest name in the world for a baby.
They all deadpanned at her, with Sirzechs and Alicia laughing out loud. Even Grayfia had an amused smile on her face.
"Then my turn now… If it's a girl I want to named her Alana. A combination of Alicia and Lucina. But if it's a boy, I think Milicas would be a beautiful name." He said with the rest becoming silent.
"It's a great name! Then how about we name our unborn child Alana if it turns out to be a girl. While we will name him Milicas if it's a boy?" Sirzechs asked, with Grayfia nodding happily. Smiling at her son.
"Hey! Lucina V2 and Alicia V2 are great names too! But Milicas or Alana sounds good too!" Lucina commented while the other laughed at her antics.
The rest of the dinner went perfectly well.
At Night
Grayfia was walking to the kitchen to grab a glass of water to hydrate herself. She finished talking to Sirzechs about his works, her pregnancy, and many other things. And when they finished talking, Sirzechs went to bed first, the exhaustion on his body finally caught up to him. When she passed Lucina's bedroom, she peeked inside and saw her sleeping with many plushies surrounding her.
She closed the door and went to the next room, which is Alicia's room. She opened the door and didn't saw him on the bed instead he was on the balcony, staring at the starry sky, seemingly lost in thought.
"What are you doing?" Grayfia asked him as she approached him.
"Just thinking…" Lucina answered with his gaze still on the sky.
"What're you thinking about?" Grayfia asked.
"It's just that I was thinking how to be stronger… With the baby being born in the coming months I have to be strong to be able to protect him/her. And with me unable to use the Power of Destruction… I-I'm just at lost right now. Lucina is stronger than me, I knew she held back a bit when we spar. To told you the truth, I'm jealous of her. She was born with more magical reserves than when Father and Ajuka-Sama were born. She could use the trademark power of the Bael clan, and she excels in using it. She was trained by Okita-Sama in swordsmanship. And how could I be strong when I can't use the Power of Destruction?" Alicia finally looked towards his mother, his face showing his emotion. The hurt and disappointed look on him was visible to Grayfia.
Grayfia immediately hugged his son as he cries his eyes out on her. "Listen to me, Akkun. You can be strong without using the Power of Destruction. Look at me, I am not born from Bael blood and I can't use the Power of Destruction but I'm one of the strongest devils in the underworld. Even I almost took the mantle of Leviathan if I didn't lose to Serafall." Grayfia said as she caressed his hair.
"And to be honest with you, your last move in the spar between you and Lucina was strong. How did you learn it?" Grayfia was curious on how did he learn to do such a great technique. Even it was the first time for Grayfia to see a devil made a technique like that.
"Really?! You think it's strong?!" Alicia asked eagerly. He was proud that his strength was acknowledged by his mother. Grayfia nodded in response.
"I learnt it by myself. I condensed my magic and the magic around me and channeled it into the shape of an arrow and I shoot it from the bow. I spent almost 4 years to create that technique! Ajuka-Sama also suggest me many ideas when he came to visit, but mostly it's all me. And mark my words, in the future that technique will be more devastating than before. I also vow to be stronger and to protect my family!" Alicia declared to her, Grayfia was proud of him for wanting to become stronger to be able to protect his family. He then proceeds to tell her more. Grayfia listening intently as he told her the story behind his technique.
Turns out, he was making that move to rivals the Power of Destruction Lucina had. He then told her the accidents he had when creating it and the setback he had when developing it. The duo then talked for a while before Grayfia forced Alicia to sleep.
The day after tomorrow, Gremory Estate
The day of the dinner with the Astaroth family was finally here. Today the Gremory and the Astaroth will have a dinner together in the Gremory estate.
Alicia was wearing a black suit with black pants. The suit was also decorated with crimson motives. The color black and crimson really suited him, it complements the color of his eyes and his hair. His hair was also let loose, almost reaching his shoulder now. In overall, he looked like royalty, like a prince.
Lucina was also dressed perfectly. She wore a black dress that look gorgeous on her and she also wore a choker on her neck. The flower-like design on her dress also adds the beauty on it. Even the maids squealed looking at Lucina's cuteness and beautiful appearance.
The bell rang and they knew that the Astaroth arrived. They were prepared to greet their guests.
"Ajuka."
"Sirzechs."
Ajuka and Sirzechs greet each other casually while Zeoticus and Ajuka's father, Lord Astaroth, greet each other like they haven't see each other for a century. Venelana also engaged a small talk with Lady Astaroth.
"Ah, where is your daughter, Venelana?" Lady Astaroth asked Venelana, who then nudged Rias to the front.
"My name is Rias Gremory. It's an honor to meet you, Lord and Lady Astaroth." Rias bowed slightly. Rias was wearing a crimson dress that was a match to her hair.
"Such a pretty lady…" Lady Astaroth commented, making Rias blush a little. And the other to chuckle.
Right now, Ajuka went towards Lucina and Alicia when his parents and Sirzechs parents were talking.
"Lucina, how've you been?" Ajuka asked with Lucina answered.
"I've been well, Uncle Ajuka!" she said rather cheerly. Ajuka then proceed to asked the other twin.
"How about you, Alicia?"
"I've been well, Uncle. The advice you suggested me came in handy. I managed to successfully used it in a spar as well." Alicia said with Ajuka nodding.
Ajuka then had a small talk with them alongside with Grayfia. Asking how's her pregnancy going on and Grayfia asking him if he already had a girlfriend. Hearing that made Ajuka's shoulders faltered and he dropped his head comically where the children laughed.
"Seriously, big brother. You're not going to have a girlfriend if you only spent your time holed up in that laboratory of yours. Geez, when I'm going to have a sister-in-law if my brother is like this." With that said Ajuka dropped to his knees, he felt like his heart was pierced with the True Longinus just now.
"Even my sister…" Ajuka said while clenching his heart. The adults laughed and Lucina and Alicia were confused by what Ajuka just said.
"Sister?" they both asked in unison. They were clueless of the identity of the girl.
"Oh? You didn't know? Greetings, Lucina and Alicia Gremory. My name is Latia Astaroth, it's a pleasure to meet you both…" Latia Astaroth introduced herself to the twins. Latia is a girl who is at the same age as the twins. She is the little sister of Ajuka Beelzebub, formerly Astaroth. She has green eyes and long blonde hair tinged with blue at the tips of her hair. She wore a stunning white dress that matched her looks.
"My name is Lucina Gremory, nice to meet'ya!" Lucina greeted happily, she seemed excited to have more friends.
"Alicia Gremory, the pleasure is all mine." Alicia said as he shook Latia's hand. Both of them held each other hands for a while, with their eyes staring at each other.
'His/Her eyes are beautiful' they thought.
"Now, with the introductions are over, we could go to the dining room." Zeoticus said as he led the guests towards the dining room. Alicia immediately let go of her hand and broke eye contact. He then proceeds to go to the dining room with a small blush appearing on his face.
Latia too had a blush on her face.
Seeing this, Lucina smiled mischievously.
The dinner went well and turns out Latia and Ajuka had another brother that couldn't come this evening. He was at the same age as Rias, his name is Diodora Astaroth.
After the dinner, the adults wanted to talk business so they kicked the children out from the dining room. Lucina decides to accompany Rias in her room, watching Anime. Alicia was asked by Sirzechs and Ajuka to give Latia a tour of the Gremory Estate, he accepted the task.
Now, the two of them were walking on the garden, the moonlight shone brightly above them while the wind gently blew on their faces. The two of them walked slowly, enjoying each other presence. They talked about pretty much everything, they didn't know what came to them but they just felt comfortable talking to each other.
Apparently, they had some similar thoughts, like; they didn't like about the nobles abusing their power to treat the commoner like trash, they absolutely loathe perverts. They also had the same goal. They want to be a Maou; Alicia wanting to be the Lucifer and Latia wanting to replace her brother for the mantle of Beelzebub.
They didn't notice that they were on the training grounds now. They were busy talking with each other that they didn't even notice where they walked.
Seeing the training dummy, still standing in the middle, Alicia casted his magic. Creating an ice spear that flew towards it, resulting the training dummy's head to be destroyed.
"So why do you want to be a Maou?" Alicia asked.
"Because that is my goal. I want to surpassed my brother. I always hated how they compared me and my big brother. They always said that your brother was much stronger when he is at my age. I just hate it! Stop comparing myself and big bro Ajuka! We're different, we're not the same!" She casted a spell, making the remaining training dummy to explode. Alicia whistling, reacting to the training dummy exploding.
"I hate it! hate it! but what can I do?! I'm not a genius like my brother. While I'm smart, I'm not at the level of my brother!" She complained. She also stomped the ground repeatedly, making crack on it. Alicia took a step back, to avoid getting his feet crushed by the girl next to him.
"I'm sorry! I just blurted out the things on my mind. It's not fitting for a lady to complain and threw a tantrum like a baby. Sorry making you see this side of me. So, please don't tell anyone about this, especially big brother." She apologized as she realized what she said to the boy she just met today. She was flustered, how come she, a lady and the sister of the Maou Beelzebub, let someone to know the unsightly side of her. She never let anyone knew her frustrations regarding the comparison between her and Ajuka. And if Ajuka knew that she threw a tantrum in front of someone, she will be teased until the end of days by him.
She didn't know what was going to happened if Alicia told her big brother about her jealousy. Will Ajuka look at her with pity? The thought of that making her pale. The other thing she hate was to be pitied.
She expected the boy to laugh and make fun of her. But instead, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"I feel you too!" The boy cried anime tears as one of his hands patted her shoulder, while the other held his chest tightly. Then he wiped his tears and look towards her eyes, their eyes locked onto each other.
"I'm a little jealous towards my sister. My father always trained with her if he had a free time, while he left me alone. Somewhere deep down, I knew that my father favours her over me because I couldn't use the Power of Destruction. My sister was even trained in swordsmanship by my father's knight, Okita Souji." He told Latia. Her eyes went wide after she heard him.
"Surprise… You're surprised, right? For a Bael descent who couldn't uses its trademark power."
"I-I don't know that… I'm sorry…" Latia said.
"What're you apologizing for? It's not your fault that I cannot use the Power of Destruction. It's not your fault that my sister was favoured by my father. It's not your fault, hell, it's not everyone fault. It's my fault for not being strong enough." He paused for a moment before he continues.
"But I never hate my father and sister for that. I love my sister more than anything in the world. Sometimes, I just hate that feeling of abandonment and the fact that I'm weak. So, I made a promise to myself. I will be a Maou. I will be strong… stronger than everyone in the world. A level of strength where nobody would even think to lay a hand to my family. A level of strength where even the gods can only dream to defeat me. I will protect my family and my friends, no matter the costs." He finished with determination.
Latia was touched by Alicia's determination to protect his loved ones.
"I have a dream that I haven't told you. Do you want to know? But promise me that you won't laugh!" Alicia said to Latia.
"YES, what is it?! Tell me tell me!" Latia practically jumped up and down from sheer excitement.
"This is probably only a child dream, a wishful thinking of mine… I want to unite the supernatural world. Where all pantheons and religions could be allies and have peace with each other. A world where everyone, no matter what race, could live peacefully. A world where there is no hatred, no war, only peace. I want to do it. Could you imagine? Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, Youkais, Humans, and etcetera could live in harmony. Surely that will be a sight to behold." He finished.
Right now, Latia eyes went wide. She was shocked because she never believed that a world like that could exists but the way he said it made it believable. It made her believe that a world such as that could really exist… No… it made her believe in him to change the world.
"That's… That's a beautiful dream. I really hope that it will come true." Latia said with a soft smile, making Alicia blushed.
"But you can't unite the world if you're a cry-baby!" She teased with a smirk etched on her face.
"W-What?! It was only because I felt bad for you! At least I don't throw a tantrum and stomped the ground so hard that it cracked!" He retorted. Making Latia gained a tick mark on her forehead.
"Cry-baby!"
"Gorilla-Girl"
Right now, their forehead was pitted against each other.
"Make sure to bring some tissues wherever you go, little boy! It's probably why your father favours your sister than you, cause you're just cry-baby!"
"Now I knew why you're compared to Uncle Ajuka, because you never used your brain, only your muscles. Or maybe there was no brain at all in that big head of yours!"
That was the last straw. The both of them tackled each other to the ground.
Dining Room
After the children left, the adults started to drink.
"Your daughter is so pretty!" Venelena said, practically squealed, to Lady Astaroth. With Lord and Lady Astaroth laughing in response.
"I assure you, Lady Venelana. That pretty face was only a mask, behind it was a demon." Ajuka shivered.
"Stop saying that, Ajuka. You're only saying that because she usually teased you. And also, now, she didn't run, jumped onto you, and yelled "Big Bro Ajuka" like she used too." Lord Astaroth commented, making the others laughed. With Sirzechs laughing the loudest and clenching his stomach. Grayfia also had a small laugh.
Hearing his father said that made Ajuka's head fell down comically, with the aura of depression surrounds him.
'She used to be so cute… now…' Ajuka thought.
"So, Sirzechs have you told Alicia?" Ajuka asked. With the others, rising their eyebrows. They were confused about what Ajuka just said.
"Nope, not yet." Sirzechs shook his head.
"And what haven't you told Alicia about?" Grayfia asked, a sweet smile appeared on her face. But they all knew, behind that sweet smile, promised an endless cycle of pain. Ajuka and Sirzechs shivered. Truly they were scared of Grayfia when she had a smile like that on her face.
"Me and Ajuka were talking… about unifying our families together." Sirzechs answered.
"And what does that have to do with Alicia?" Grayfia asked.
Ajuka stood behind Sirzechs, he then whispered to his ear.
"You haven't told her? You're so dead, dude. You're on your own now." Sirzechs responded with light jab to Ajuka's stomach and whispering "Fuck you." To Ajuka.
"Because we're planning to do it by arranging the marriage between Alicia Gremory and Latia Astaroth! So, we've planned them to meet today and get to know each other. But, currently, the both of them didn't knew yet that they were engaged to each other." Sirzechs finished.
The temperature than dropped to a dangerous level. The floor beneath Grayfia started to froze. She then asked.
"And you thought that this was a great idea? How drunk are you guys when you planned this?" Her voice was cold as ice, not a single trace of warmth was heard. Grayfia face was stoic, not revealing any feelings towards the person she's talking with.
Both Sirzechs and Ajuka take a step back when Grayfia took a step forward them. They took another, and another, until they felt the walls on their back. They gulped.
Lord and Lady Astaroth, Zeoticus, and Venelana didn't want to get in the way of an angry Grayfia. So, for their survival, they kept quiet and hoped for the safety of Sirzechs and Ajuka.
"What now? Cat got your tongue?" Grayfia asked both men as she closed her distance between her and them. The Maou-duo hugged each other, hoping to find safety in each other embrace. When Grayfia was about to delivered their punishment.
The floors shook. The chandeliers on top of them were swinging left to right. The glasses fell to the floor, making it shatter to pieces also staining the carpet with wine.
"What was that?!" Lady Astaroth asked. She looked around, trying to find the source.
"AN ATTACK?! The kids! Where are they?!" Venelana panicked. She was concerned about the safety of the kids. Her daughter, her grand-children, and her friend's daughter, who is also the heiress of the Astaroth Household is nowhere to be seen.
Both Ajuka and Grayfia sensed the area. They thought it was an enemy but turns out they were wrong. They knew who was fighting and they sighed. It was Alicia and Latia. Grayfia knew what Alicia's magic signature was like. An Ajuka knew about Latia's magic signature too.
"It's not an attack." Grayfia said. She rubbed her temples, the stress she needed to handle just adds up. She then casted a teleportation circle on the ground, and stepped into it.
"Training ground." Grayfia said to the rest. She then teleported there. With Sirzechs and the others follow her immediately.
When they arrived at the training ground, the sight that greeted them was Alicia and Latia wrestling each other on the ground.
The trees were scorched, many craters on the ground, and their regal appearances was stained by sweat, dirt, and a little bit of blood.
"Alicia."
"Latia."
Immediately after Alicia and Latia heard that, they froze. They looked up and saw their respective mother looming over them.
"Mama…" They both managed to let out a word, with their eyes immediately changed to the puppy-dog eyes. Fearing for their lives, they tried to be cute and innocent as much as possible.
"What do you have to say yourselves?" Grayfia asked, with Lady Astaroth nodding alongside her.
"She/he started it!" Both of them looked at each other incredulously.
"Sis-Con!"
"Spoiled Brat!"
Again, the two of them insulted each other. Without taking another second, the both of them lunged each other to the ground. Continuing the fight, ignoring the amused stares from the adult.
They rolled around in the ground, making both of their attire dirtier than before. The adults chuckled, truly this was a sight to remember.
"At least, they're getting to know each other more." Sirzechs chuckled. He couldn't even imagine if Lucina was here. No doubt that Alicia will be teased forever if Lucina saw this.
Grayfia having enough of this, raised her power that It pressured the children. Making them immediately stood up and yelled, "We're sorry!"
They felt bad when Grayfia sighed, this time a long one, clearly showing her exhaustion and frustration.
They turned towards each other and then they immediately turned the other way around, not wanting to see each other's face.
Grayfia let out another long sigh. She was going to scold her son there but Sirzechs interrupted her.
"Well, Alicia and Latia, I see the both of you already get to know each other more. And that's great! Because the two of you will marry each other in the future, or to be exact… marry each other when you guys reached eighteen. So, get along with each other, from now on!" Sirzechs just dropped the bomb on them.
""WHAT""
Hey so this is the second chapter. If anyone was wondering, Lucina's sword's appearance is like the Excalibur Morgan in Fate series, while the bow and arrow that Alicia use is like Ishtar's Manna but with a little change, the bow will also grew in size, it depends on Alicia's power output. He doesn't wield the bow, the bow could fly with his command. So this is the chapter where Latia is introduced. Latia is originally Ajuka's nephew and she was at the same age with Rias in canon, but I'm changing that. The next chapter would be the chapter where Grayfia will give birth. Also I'm sorry if there's something wrong, like; grammar, spelling, and etc. Please understand that English is not my 1st language. Thanks for reading and have a great day.
