Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

Tritan; Thanks! Hehe, that's going to be quite fun to write. And yeah, I think it would be cool as well!

Wacko12; Like Aegis or something from Persona 3?

Absolute Mirage; Thank you! Yeah, I thought so as well, it does sound good, doesn't it? Yeah, I can't wait for that to come, it is going to be quite funny. I am thinking of doing something like that for them, and yes I recall that being in volume 17 when it was mentioned, I think. Yup, she is quite adorable, isn't she? That is indeed true, it does have a lot of potential, as do all Longinus'. It is going to be interesting what I do with her, I have some plans for her. That actually sounds good, and not impossible from what we've seen it can do in canon. It should be possible. And thank you!

DocSlendy; Yeah, it is a pretty good idea. Don't worry, his time will come, and it will hurt a lot. Yeah, he is quite disgusting, isn't he? In a lot of ways, he's worse than some of the other villains in the series. Well, it will be shown why that is, hinted at this chapter. Sona's hobby huh, besides chess I do not know.

War historian; Not to Diodora level, but yeah he likes them. But unlike Diodora, he wouldn't purposely do something that would force them out of their current lives. He will die eventually, and it will be probably a lot more painful than it was in canon. An orgy between those girls huh, would be quite interesting. I forgot to PM you, but you can do so to me anytime.

Harem Master123; Thanks! Yeah, the feels are surely there, aren't they? Yeah, I will give it a think. Though if Rias joined his peerage, the others in her peerage wouldn't be able to be in the story. As for Akeno, she's not in the peerage, harem is a high possibility. Those suggestions are awesome!

Draco Illius Mortem; In canon that would be indeed true. In this however, she wasn't turned into a Devil when she was with the previous 'master'. In this, before this chapter, she was just a Nekoshou, not a reincarnated Devil. But as of this chapter, she is a reincarnated Devil, Zenki's Pawn.

Hellspam; Thanks! And you shall not be disappointed with this chapter! Asia does indeed appear, but doesn't interact with Zenki…just yet. That's how Diodora is though, but in this chapter he is taken down a peg or two. Eeh, he'll feel…how he would, but he would do it, because he knows that he would need to do it. Asia, I haven't decided yet, I am thinking before canon starts as I have an idea for the replacement of that beginning arc involving other characters instead. Hehe, it is going to be quite funny when it happens, isn't it? Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Keniavelez1999; Yeah, hope you had a good one! And yeah, it's going to be quite interesting in the future!

Sandshrew master; That's awesome, and thanks!

Raidentensho; Thank you, I am glad. Maybe in a future story I will have her as a Queen. Though I don't think Rias' peerage could suffer anymore, I've taken quite a few pieces from her already. But that doesn't mean there isn't going to be a magic expert on Zenki's peerage. And thanks!

Skull Flame; That surely is quite the interesting way to wake up, isn't it? Serafall is quite dangerous when it is for her Zenki-tan~ They will be arguing about it some more in the future here and there. Kuroka is like the master of pushing peoples buttons. She can do it so easily, she can break them down little by little, can't she? For now, it isn't, it is set up for later on though. His beating will come in the future. Yeah, it could be that, I'll allow people to draw their own conclusions on that for now. Aah, I consider everyone's, don't worry about it, they were good~ Yeah, I thought it would be a good idea anyway. And why not? A Rook with a sword, it would be quite strong, and Xenovia is like amazing with power and such, perfect Rook. Well, I won't spoil it but Zenki and Diodora will eventually have a confrontation. Aah, you can have as many as you want, I guess. Asia in canon as a few pact partners, so why not have a few familiars? And thank you!

Duked; Thank you. They will do in the future. Don't worry, he won't be turning into anyone like Riser, who does what he does for perverted reasons. Even if only girls are on the peerage, Zenki will respect them/fear them depending on who they are. And here's the update!

Nostagalas; It does sound quite interesting, doesn't it? And it seems to be quite the popular opinion as well. And thank you!

Xizors2; Thank you. I realized a few hours after I posted the chapter, I will get round to editing that part soon. Only need to shift like a letter to a different place, but it shouldn't be in this chapter, the name should be as it is. And it isn't a pain at all, don't worry.

Blue Eyes Pendulum Dragon; That sounds pretty good, I will consider it! Yeah, it seems to be quite popular which I am happy about. He might just meet the Loli Dragon Ophis early on, it could happen, and he might even befriend her, who knows by this point. And yeah that does sound good.

Anime PJ; Yeah, gotta keep that fresh in your minds, if only to show how Zenki is going to destroy him later on. He might be very well be becoming heir sooner than he might think. Their relationship is complicated, and Kuroka plus Serafall equals, quite a disaster happening, doesn't it? Heh, poor Ravel is going to be driven up the wall, huh. Yeah, I can pull it off, I think I have a good idea for it anyway. Akeno I am toying with the idea right now, as shown in this chapter, the same with Sona.

Frozen Shadow 95; Bennia as the remaining Pawns, it would make sense, huh. It sounds good.

ShadowUzumaki55; Thank you! He surely does have his hands full. With Kuroka becoming more and more aggressive about her, dreams and whatnot. Even having Serafall wanting some of Zenki along with some others, he's going to have an eventful life. Don't worry, he's going to be having fun with Ravel and the others more in the future. Seekvaira surely did appear, and it did show that she does care about him. Hehe, don't worry about that, Zenki will be getting him in the future. And awesome! He's gonna have quite the breakdown isn't he?

Gabriel790; Thank you!

Charli J Lee; Thanks! I am glad that you do! Hmmm, that's a good question. I want to say around Chapter 10 is when it starts, as I have some important content to deal with it, so it should be around Chapter 10. Rias in the harem, I am unsure of right now. And yes, he will be having one.

dragonsayianblue; It surely is starting to build up, isn't it? That would be quite, awesome. Hehe, yeah, Diodora is going to have something like that, isn't he? It will drive the man wild if something like that happened, and it is going to happen eventually!

Noah; Hey, and thank you! That does sound to be quite a cool idea, I will consider.

Guest 1; Thank you! And yup, they surely are!

Guest 2; Thank you! Yeah, eventually when Diodora is sorted with, he is going to make sure that they get taken care of, go to families or even keep them and make sure that they can recover from their trauma. Hehe, that seems to be quite popular, and yeah, he's gonna have a slight one, nothing like how insane Diodora's is. Kuroka will surely be able to take the piss out of him for it. That's who she is after all.

Cf96; Thanks!

Guest 3; It is true I haven't but this couldn't be that. In the future, I will probably make a replacement fic.

Guest 4; Those two surely are quite dangerous when paired together, huh. I wouldn't know what kind of roles they'd have on the peerage, honestly. And yeah, that's cool! In this chapter, it will be shown that he does have a little something for the blonde haired nun. Asia as the first lemon huh. That is quite possible. Yeah, eventually, they will be having a Rating Game against one another. And that is true, they would use that to determine who was the better King.

Freakshock; I am going over that story as I write this hehe. Akeno, I haven't decided yet.

OathXIIIK; Thanks! Yeah, I try to update at least once a week. Aah, really? Then here's the story for you! She's in the harem here! And yeah, even if they are childhood friends, it doesn't mean that they have to love one another. I know it is common in anime for that to happen, but in real life, not so much from personal experience.

Kreceir; Ah, I am sorry to hear that. When I said Issei's harem, it won't the centre of the story, it will be there and will be mentioned, but it isn't like he's the main character here, he'll of course have a role in the story, but he isn't the main character.

Nightmare; Awesome! I don't know about them just yet.

Neonlight01; He surely is a lucky guy, he has some luck doesn't he? Hehe, Ravel is going to be joining his peerage alright, and Seekvaira raised some important questions, didn't she? That's true, right now he's perfectly happy with his own life, and doesn't need to do anything like that. He's going to go insane, isn't he? Those four girls on his peerage is going to be something that will be killing Diodora inside.

Lightwave; He's going to be getting what he is going to be getting in the future. Zenki is going to certainly show why it isn't a good idea to piss him off. That is true, he is, but he does get pissed off like anyone else does, but he has people around him to help stop him when it gets too much for him. Yeah, that comment could be something important in the future. Yeah, those two are going to be in the peerage! Ultimate holy girl foursome!

AlphaOmega; Right now though, if Serafall was serious, Kuroka wouldn't be able to stand a chance against Serafall. That's Serafall though, she is convinced that Gabriel is evil. She will be using it before she did in canon, she doesn't really have a reason not too this time. She has Zenki by her side and Kuroka as well, she's in a better position than she was in canon. They will have bonding moments together in the future. Ravel is going to have a difficult time in the future, isn't she? It kind of is, but unlike Diodora, Zenki actually trains his body and power, not just relying on his talent. He doesn't need to do something like that, though he will be kicking the shit out of Diodora in the future. That's going to be an interesting thing to do. Yeah, it would be a nice change of pace, not being in Issei's all the time, wouldn't it? And yup, Xenovia is going to be a cool Rook. Yeah, that sounds like an awesome idea, I like it!

Yuri girl; If that made the Asia fan in you scream, the ending of this chapter will even more so, I hope! As this chapter shows, he is attracted to her in a pretty obvious way, though it isn't shown how much, just yet. Yeah, it is pretty hard to pass up on something like that, isn't it? That does sound like quite a cool Knight for Rias, and that will be something alright, when he finds out things like that.

Guest 5; Yeah, she isn't going to be spamming it, as it has shown in canon to break her mentally and her soul as well. So, she won't be using it all of the time, when it is needed, she will use it though. She is going to be learning magic for the future, and mix in her Vampire abilities in there as well. That would be awesome, and it is true, stalkers (not yandere's as they are way different) are needed somewhere.

AndroSid93; Thank you! Ravel is quite cute, isn't she? Hehe, those two are adorable and sexy (Koneko and Kuroka respectably) and yeah, she is quite underused. But that's because in canon she's married to Sirzechs and I guess not many people want to mess with that kind of relationship. And that would be quote funny. Well, here's the update!

ShadeAkami; Welcome back, I guess hehe! I am a tease yes, that's something I am~ Never mind a chapter, that's a great way to wake up period. Those two will be doing more of that in the future, I can assure you of this. Koneko is, isn't she? More of that adorableness in the future! Seek-chan is in the mix, and there's more this chapter! Nah, we didn't see that coming at all (sarcastically rolling eyes). Asia is indeed in the mix! She's officially in the mix! Yes, this chapter he does indeed get his Evil Pieces, it centers around that. Yeah, around the same time, he will indeed make Valerie into his Queen. Jeanne, she'll be joining soon, but not for maybe a chapter or two, haven't decided, but it will be before canon. There's some of that in this chapter actually. While you are right on that, I'd like Vali to still have the team Vali has in canon (barring Kuroka of course and possibly Le Fay). Your idea could still work though, even without Arthur joining, he could just be allied with them while still being with Vali, if that makes sense? It did to me at least. Those are some cool suggestions, some I wouldn't even guess on. Aah, I see. You're right in that, and that would be a cool way of introducing her. That looks like a pretty cool line up. Well, thank you! I'll try and do just that! I haven't seen that series in a while. I will have to check it out again to see if any ideas flow through my mind, ya know? And thank you for the compliment, it makes me feel happy~ Aah, I will keep that to myself~ But whatever you think it is, could be the right one, you have 50/50 chance of getting it right. And no worries about that, I like long ones~

LL; Hehe, not really. That's Kuroka who loves to tease. They probably can, Ise developed techniques that no other has, and he's bad with demonic power, so a skilled Devil with demonic power would theoretically be able to do something like that, like Zenki is highly skilled at using his demonic power. Heh, I laughed when reading that, and yeah, he's going to be getting alot of punishment from Zenki in the future. Yeah, their jaw is going to hit the floor, isn't it?

Asia lover; Well, he sees Asia this chapter, he might be meeting her next chapter.

Guest 6; Yes, his mother is still alive. She just hasn't appeared for, various reasons. Hehe, that seems to be quite popular.

Guest 7; Thanks! Yeah, she's in the peerage! I haven't decided for either of them yet.

Strike man; Thanks! Irina is going to be on the peerage! As for the other three, I dunno yet.

Guest 8; At least some of them will be in the harem hehe~

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it is time for the chapter! Enjoy!


Becoming a King

In the Underworld, a ceremony was happening. This was a big occasion today, as the occasion was…Zenki was receiving his Evil Pieces.

Everyone was there, or nearly everyone. Rias, and Akeno were there, dressed in beautiful kimono's. Rias' kimono was exactly like her hair, a beautiful colour. Akeno's was a lavender coloured one, framing her maturing body quite well, her hair not in her signature ponytail, being allowed to flow freely, the same as Rias usually has hers.

Beside them, was Sona, and Seekvaira. Both of them were wearing dresses that looked quite similar, Sona's being a blue colour like the sky, Seekvaira's being a darkish pink colour, both dresses hugging their bodies. High Class dresses, for High Class Devils. However, while Sona's was more subdued, Seekvaira's was a little more relaxed in the respect that it showed slightly more skin than Sona's did, but they did have a common thing between them, scowling at one another.

Koneko and Kuroka were both in the room as well. Koneko was wearing a small dress to fit her small frame, and even had her Nekomata parts out. Kuroka was the same, but she always had her Nekomata parts out, and she wore a kimono similar to Rias and Akeno, but unlike them, she had her extremely low cut, and showed a generous, more than generous portion, of her breasts.

Around the hall, were various Devils. Including that from the Agares family, Ravel's parents also stood there as well, Sitri family (including an impatient looking Serafall), Rias' parents were also there as well as a Bael member. It wasn't Lord Bael, but someone from the family came.

This was a huge day, and many families appeared. Everyone was interested in Zenki receiving his Evil Pieces, and they were interested in gaining his favour as well. it was quite clear that this was the objective of most members of the Devils that were here.

But the rare minority were here to genuinely celebrate Zenki receiving his Evil Pieces, the Heiress' being among the few that were there to help and celebrate this day with him.

"Ara ara, this is quite extravagant, isn't it? Isn't this supposed to be something that normal children of Devils of High-Class gain? Does it need to be something like this?"

Akeno commented as she looked around, seeing many Devils coming into the hall. She noticed that neither of Zenki's parents were there, wondering where they were as her eyes weren't to the front of the hall, the ceremonial hall, where a large stone was that would register him as a King.

Though she hadn't ever met his Mother, she knew of his Father, yet she found it strange that he wasn't even here. She thought that Ajuka would be the one to give his own son the Evil Pieces that he invented, that's something that made it seem strange.

"I know, even my own King status wasn't this well received. It was a simple ceremony, but I heard that there was even a press crew outside, waiting for Zenki to receive his Evil Pieces, and a conference happening as well right afterwards. I don't envy him right now."

Commented Rias, running a finger through her long crimson hair.

"It's because Zenki is the Maou-sama's son." Sona explained, Seekvaira narrowing her eyes. "Because he is the Maou-sama's son, the Devils of higher rank became very interested in his future, and set up this while thinking hard about his future."

"…Zenki-san doesn't even like things like this."

Koneko noted as she looked around, becoming slightly uncomfortable.

"Arara, don't worry Shirone. This stuff will be done soon. Even Zenki-chan said as much nyaaa~"

Kuroka chimed in as she looked a little bored right now. But she was still being 'interested' only because she wanted to at least show some kind of strength and support for him.

Seekvaira looked around and noticed the same thing that Akeno noticed, bringing it up with the others.

"It seems neither Ajuka-sama or Zenki-kun's Okaa-sama are in attendance. The same said for Diodora-san, but that is to be expected as it is Diodora-san. He wouldn't come to something like this, it would be too public for him as he knew that he wouldn't be the focus of attention. It would, as some would say, piss him off."

She narrowed her eyes as Rias sadly cast her eyes towards where the parents should be sat, frowning lightly.

"It seems like they are too busy to attend."

Rias felt bad for him. Her own parents attended when she received her Evil Pieces, and now Zenki didn't have either his Mother or his Father to support him during this. Even Diodora didn't appear, though no love was lost there.

"Like they are for most of the occasions in his life…"

Sona muttered with dejected eyes for the boy that she could call friend.

"They are busy, don't forget that Sona-san."

Seekvaira cut into the conversation, earning a scowl from Sona in return.

"Of course I remember that. But to think that they couldn't even spare a few minutes to attend something like this…"

"His Otou-san is a Maou-sama, he has responsibilities that he cannot escape from, being supported by his Okaa-san as well. It must be difficult for them as well. So, we cannot truly judge on what they are doing right now."

"I wasn't judging, I was merely explaining and feeling terrible for Zenki. That's all, do not read so much into it."

Seekvaira shook her head, as Sona and her locked eyes, glaring at the other.

Feeling the animosity, Rias and Akeno back away slowly.

"Ara, it seems like there's something going on there?"

Akeno deduced quite easily, Rias shivering as she felt the coldness of the icy stares deepening into the souls of herself and the others around.

"Th-That's something we shouldn't be discussing, they'll only get angry…more so than now."

Rias sweatdropped at the end when she noticed that Sona and Seekvaira continued to lock eyes towards each other, not letting the other go out of their eyes for even a second, as if they were staring into the souls of the others.

Kuroka's eyes took themselves all over the hall, and felt slightly out of place, this not being her scene.

"I just thought, where is that little bitch Ravel-chan anyway?"

The High-Class Devil girls sharply glared at Kuroka, Sona being the one to answer.

"Ravel-san is currently helping Zenki prepare for this. Since it is a higher and more detailed version of what me, Rias, and Seekvaira-san has gone through before, he is being supported by the Phenex's daughter. She is supposed to be helping him right now anyhow."

Sona explained as Seekvaira looked as if she had eaten a bug. Kuroka though looked the most dangerous right now, she looked mad about Ravel spending time alone with Zenki, and wasn't pleased in the slightest about this. She was extremely mad about this, and expressed as much, not caring about her surrounding's.

"I think she's just getting special cuddle times without me being around, that little bitch nyaaa."

Koneko slapped herself in the head, shaking said head awkwardly.

"…Nee-sama, please don't swear here…Zenki-san is important to the Devils here…and he needs to keep a certain image…we cannot make his image go down with your words Nee-sama…Zenki-san said that…we should act like ladies today."

"Tch, I guess so nyaaa. I'd prefer if we just went nuts."

Kuroka wore a dissatisfied face, and folded her arms. Sona looked on, and was going to make sure that Kuroka wasn't going to go nuts and do something that she could regret straight away. She was sure that she wasn't going to ruin this for Zenki, she just needed to make sure.

"By the way, isn't your cousin attending, Rias?"

Sona brought up, so Rias pointed to the left, to see him standing there with his new Queen. Sairaorg was dressed formally, surprising the likes of Akeno and Kuroka as they hadn't ever seen such a thing from the man before.

Sairaorg notices the eyes on him, and waves a single time towards Rias, who waves back, acknowledging one another.

Rias then looks back at Sona, and sees Serafall standing where Ajuka would usually stand.

"Say Sona, your Onee-sama is standing where Ajuka-sama would stand, it couldn't mean that-"

"Maou I hope not."

Sona, knowing where the girl was going with it, put a hand to her forehead, and sighed deeply.

Seekvaira gave a wide smile at the distress in Sona's eyes, finding it amusing.

"What's with the eyes, Seekvaira-san? Is there something you'd like to say?"

Sona quizzed, narrowing her already sharpened gaze.

Seekvaira tossed her head to the side, finding the look in Sona's eyes amusing.

"Nothing at all, Sona-san. I find it fun to see you in distress, is all."

"Oh, believe me, the feeling is more than mutual."

Seekvaira folded her arms under her bust, in an obvious attempt to show that she had a bigger bust than Sona. Sona considerably sharpened her gaze, pushing the glasses on her face upwards, showing how annoyed that she looked at the fellow Devil with slight annoyance.


Meanwhile, Ravel and Zenki were in the waiting area. Ravel was dressed in a formal dress, wearing what appeared to be a rose coloured dress. Zenki was wearing traditional ropes on his body, coming down his body, having the Astaroth symbol on the back of the jacket he wear.

While Zenki looked nervous, Ravel seemed to be collected.

"This is it, Zenki-sama. in a few short minutes, you'll be receiving your Evil Pieces."

Ravel spoke with a posh tone, her eyes looking towards the slightly down Zenki.

Noticing something was wrong, she walked closer.

"Is your frown due to Ajuka-sama unable to attend?"

Zenki was amazed by her skills to analyse the face he had on with a single look.

"Haha, you know me straight away. Yeah…I thought that he might've come…or Kaa-chan, but neither are able to attend, huh. I guess it just isn't that important to them or something…especially when they went to Dildodora's one…I mean, Diodora-nii-chan."

He corrected himself, showing a frown on his face and thought about his parents not attending. Even though he understood why, he didn't

Ravel sat next to him, and offered words of comfort.

"From my understanding, it seems that your parents understand that unlike Diodora-sama, you do not need help. They must know that you are-"

"Thanks for trying, Ravel-tan. But they just are too busy to come. I understand that they are busy, but they usually miss important things happening in my life…well, at least I have you and the others, if it wasn't for you Ravel-tan, I'd be a nervous wreck right now. No, if it wasn't for you, I don't know if I could even go out there. I know it is to get my Evil Pieces, but there's going to be so many people, and everyone's expectations of me are always high. One slip and I'll be a disgrace to the clan, and I cannot do that."

Ravel adopted a blush, turning her head to the side.

"W-Well, since it is Zenki-sama, I am just supporting you. Do not worry about matters like that. With me supporting you, I won't allow you to slip up Zenki-sama. I will be right beside you, supporting you fully in your future from now on."

He gave a smile towards her and petted her head.

"If it wasn't for Ravel-tan, I'd truly be in a bind. With the press conference, the attention from the media as well as the Devils that now have the chance to actually try and gain a favour with the son of the Maou-sama, and then there's the rumours of the engagement that I will be having soon, I've even heard of them and I don't know which one to believe, if any at all. I've been getting too many requests for peerage confirmations and such. Ravel-tan surely has been my rock during all of this."

He spoke honestly. He was sure he'd be lost without Ravel right now. She has been amazing for him, she was someone who he knew he could trust and was someone that he truly could say that he was going to stand beside.

"Zenki-sama is very popular now. And due to your recent activities, it seems word has been getting out about how you've been beating Stray Devils of High Class at your age. That has been gaining you popularity."

Zenki's smile became a little wider when he thought about fighting the Strays. He didn't do it for fame, he didn't do it for personal satisfaction. He did it because he felt it was something he needed to do, and something he could only do from time to time.

"Also Ravel-tan. About the aforementioned proposal that your parents have requested, and myself also, what is your decision?"

Ravel blinked once, then stepped forward, crossing her arm across her breast.

"If Zenki-sama needs me, then of course I will stand beside him. Since you asked me so formally, and this has been arranged with my parents, and I am confident that my role is to stand beside you, I will always stand beside Zenki-sama and do what I can to help Zenki-tan in his future goals."

At her clear answer, Zenki smiled.

"That's very good Ravel-tan. But, are you sure? You want to do something like this? I mean, you don't have too. There's no pressure from anyone, you know? Even if you don't, there's always a place beside me for you. I will deal with any repercussions if you change your mind otherwise. Please speak your mind."

"I-I of course wish to do this." She started off shaky, but gained courage as she moved forward. "Since this is a choice and a chance laid out before me, this is a good thing. Standing beside Zenki-sama benefits myself, yourself, my family and your own family as well. And besides that…" Ravel blushed, and inched forward. "Zenki-sama is the one that I want to stand beside. Even all of the other reasons do not matter, I will stand beside Zenki-sama, and help him achieve his future dreams. So, that is why I wish to stand beside Zenki-sama and become someone that can aid him in all of his future quests."

Zenki widened his smile, glad that Ravel made her choice without feeling pressured.

"Then, after the ceremony, when I gain my Evil Pieces, I shall…"

At that moment, a Devil from the Astaroth family enters, a servant of the clan.

"Zenki-sama, Ravel-sama. The ceremony is about to begin. In the place of Ajuka-sama and Sirzechs-sama, Serafall-sama will be handling the ceremony. Since Zenki-sama is affiliated with Serafall-sama the most out of the current Maou-sama's, this is how it was decided."

At the name, both Zenki's, and Ravel's faces dropped.

"I don't know if that's a great thing or a terrible thing."

He spoke with fear, Ravel very much agreeing.

"I-I am sure that she will be…ooh, who am I kidding? Serafall-sama is going to be…but we could be lucky and know that this is something that is difficult. W-Well, Zenki-sama, this is the time that we need to leave, how are you feeling?"

He laughed and moved awkwardly, disliking the robes.

"Y-Yes, it feels like butterflies are kicking me in my stomach. Nervous doesn't even begin to describe how I am feeling. People have these expectations on me, and I need to go forward with a strong foot, I hope I don't make a mess of anything."

Ravel offers a smile, grabs his hand and moves forward.

"Do not worry Zenki-sama. You're going to do great, I know this to be true."

Hearing the calming words of Ravel, he also took a step forward.

"R-Right, let us go."

Nodding to one another, Ravel and Zenki went forward and moved towards the ceremony hall.


Making it to the ceremony hall, he immediately looked for his parents. Even though he knew they weren't there, he had to hold out some hope that they turned up for him and was going to give him some support for this…but neither of them were there, his face falling for a single second, then it rose up and put on his best face, striding forward.

He allowed his eyes to look around the area as he walked, he could see the faces of Rias, Akeno, Seekvaira, Sona and Koneko with Kuroka straight away, and he could see that in their own way, they were offering encouraging faces.

Comfort entered his heart upon seeing his friends, and moved forward, people clapping as he walked forward, Ravel standing right beside him.

Ravel looked towards them as well, as Kuroka put her fingers in a V shape, poked her tongue through and wriggled it around as her eyes turned dark with lust, Ravel's face burning with embarrassment, looking around to see if anyone could see her.

"Ooh Maou, please don't embarrass me like this Kuroka-sama…please don't do anything…why can't you just leave me alone already…? I am trying to do something for Zenki-sama here, I do not need you flirting with me."

Ravel held back a small sigh that was threatening to escape her mouth, holding her status as a Devil and Phenex in her prideful look.

He saw Rias' parents, along with Ravel's, even others parents of the people that he knew, though he wasn't interested as they weren't his friends like the other girls. He couldn't see anyone that didn't belong there, so it was all good, besides the fact that his parents didn't attend.

As he moved forward, his eyes caught sight of Sairaorg, and he bowed his head respectfully, Sairaorg doing the same. By seeing someone he could call his best friend, his nervous heart calmed itself down.

Nearing the front, more cameras went off, lights flashing all around them, the cameras on Zenki, and even Ravel. Murmurs went on about the reason that Ravel was on his side right now, but it didn't seem to matter. Ravel's parents however had eyes of happiness for their daughter and how she was aiding Zenki in his movements, proud of their daughter.

Once he made it to the front of the altar, he noticed Serafall's eyes brimming with happy tears, and she kept making gestures with her mouth. Zenki wasn't sure what she was trying to say, but the way that she moved her hips, indicated that she wasn't looking for a cuddle. But he was glad that she was wearing an official uniform consisting of a true colourless jacket, and a grey knee-high skirt, and boots as well. The emblem on the shoulder was that of the Leviathan.

"I have been waiting for this for a long time since the day of your birth my adorable Zenki-tan. From here on you will become one fine King, with a fine tight small body…no Serafall, not now. An-Anyway, in the absence of Ajuka-chan and Sirzechs-chan, I have been chosen to lead the ceremony. Is that fine with you my adorable Zenki-tan?"

"A-Ah, please treat me well and take care of me during this transition."

Zenki bowed to Serafall who wore a bright smile on her face and nodded.

Under the Maou-sama's guidance who gave Zenki such words the ritual finally begins.

"…And so, the next will be…"

Zenki sits on the chair which is beside the altar with Ravel and followed the guidance of the host of this ceremony. Surprisingly, Serafall was doing very well. Even Sona couldn't complain right now, her elder sister being the ideal sister that she could look up to if she was like this, but knew that it wasn't to last.

One of the best opera singer who had offered her intention on singing for this ceremony is about to start her performance. She stands in front of the microphone stand which is set on the altar and then she starts to sing.

But the words that came out where ones that Zenki didn't expect…instead of being opera, it was a magical girls theme song. Zenki recognized it being the opening to Madoka Magica, he resisted the urge to slap himself in the face as he knew Serafall would've done something like this, he felt sorry for Sona right now.

In front of him, Serafall was smirking, bobbing her head along to the song, as others didn't know what to say. Everyone was stunned, most didn't even know what they were even listening too right now. They didn't know much if anything about magical girls, and Serafall couldn't resist anything like that.

Sona looked ready to pass out, Seekvaira looked as if she was going to laugh at the misfortune of Sona, but held it together.

"Onee-sama…I knew she'd do this…"

Sona sighed deeply, earning a bright smirk from Seekvaira.

"I quite like it."

The glasses blonde girl commented, Sona scowling.

"You would."

Seekvaira pushed up her glasses, focusing her gaze on the female who shot her eyes right back at her. Rias and Akeno shared a look, feeling cold over their bodies at the intensity that they were feeling right now, hoping that they don't do anything. Even some of the mature Devils around Sona and Seekvaira also backed away from the two women.

"Fight…fight…fight…"

Kuroka chanted as she looked at the girls, earning a harsh scowl from her younger sister. Kuroka didn't care though, keeping her eyes on the girls with their intense aura flaring around them, bringing more than the average Devil to their knees. They didn't need words to convey their feelings right now, all they needed was their eyes.

Sona would scrunch her eyebrows, Seekvaira would scowl with a raised eyebrow. Their words didn't mean anything, they didn't even bother speaking. The fact that they were just staring at each other right now was more than enough to bring most to their knees.

After the song, the ritual finally phases into the main part. Ravel and Zenki stand at the altar and the first thing that will happen is the receiving of the certificate. Maou Serafall Leviathan-sama starts reading from a book.

"For those reason, I hearby proclaim you, son of Ajuka Beelzebub-sama, as a King. Now let's start the true ritual, kay Zenki-chan?"

Zenki got on one knee and received the words of Serafall greatly, and elegantly, the same as a noble. Now, here is his line.

"It will be my honour. I shall serve the Underworld together with my peerage. I, am blessed to become a King with you who is guiding me Serafall-sama."

He replied in a complicated manner as Serafall gushed, her face turning red with emotions, her eyes welling up with tears. She was close to crying, waving her hands in front of her face so she would stop herself from sobbing large tears.

Zenki usually would give one of those exaggerated words or really long lines at this situation. But Zenki gave a plain answer since Zenki was told that the simple reply would be the best. He didn't want to appear anything other than he was, and that was

Next is the ritual where Ravel, who is his personal support for this endeavour, puts on a crown on his head.

Ravel and Zenki stand at the altar and face each other. He then got on his knee. Ravel receives the crown from the person in charge. And then she puts on the crown on his head. It appears like a real crown so he could feel the heavy weight.

Then there is another applause. Ravel looked around and blushed a little bit, never expecting to be in a situation where people would be staring at her. But for Zenki, she was willing to go through some embarrassment, as she knew that this was an important role as well.

"Alright, with this the ritual for the crowning is over. Just one more step then it is completed."

Zenki thought to himself, recalling the same thing happening when Rias and Sona gained their pieces, being present during that time.

For the last part the Maou Serafall-sama appears on the altar once again and raises her hand. Then a stone monument which is shining in black colour comes falling from above their heads. The stone monument which floats in the air.

"…So this is the monument which is essential for registering a High-class Devil that I saw with Sona-tan and Rias-tan, even Seekvaira-tan when she received her Evil Pieces. I wasn't present during Sai-tans ceremony, I was busy with…Dildodora and his hissy fits. But by touching that, the objection of becoming King is completed. Finally, I will be able to start my family. Koneko-tan and the others will also be apart of my family."

Zenki's eyes shone as the hesitation came to him. But a single look from Ravel allowed him to compose himself, keep himself cool.

"Now, the new King, Zenki-tan…eeh, Zenki Astaroth. Stand in front of the monument please."

Maou-sama urges Zenki with a wink.

Zenki takes a step forward while enveloping his left hand with his own light green aura and then touch the monument.

This monument is made from the same material as the Evil Pieces. As he touched it, his heart beat went slightly faster. But it was able to calm himself down by looking straight at Serafall. She seemed to be very composed compared to how she usually is.

The monument shines green, a very bright shining green colour, and then shows my hand print for an instant. And then it returns to the normal monument.

With that, the ritual was done. He took a relaxing breath as more rounds of a applase happened. Lights of cameras went off everywhere. Zenki could see that

Zenki then receives a small box from Maou-sama. When Zenki opened the box, he found 15 Evil Pieces inside. His eyes went towards them, being transfixed on the Evil Pieces, and he picked one of his Pawn pieces up, admiring it greatly.

As such, the ritual is done with the most crucial part of the ceremony. What came after this is the words of congratulation from the guest which was read by the host of the ceremony. Since Zenki's and Ravel's parts were done, they were allowed to step down.

Once he was down, he was immediately approached by the media, taking pictures and such. They asked all sorts of questions towards him, and he wasn't sure what to say right now. He was overwhelmed with what he was feeling right now.

However, Ravel stepped forward, seeing the face that Zenki made and knew instantly that he didn't want to do this straight away.

"Zenki-sama shall be interviewed in one hour's time. Please allow him to prepare for the coming interview."

The media went to complain, but Ravel and some servants made a path for him, which he retreated immediately. Zenki noticed that Ravel went to her parents after that, and he was fine with that, she had done more than enough for him, so her going to her parents made sense.


Getting to his dressing room, he entered and immediately collapsed onto the couch, sighing heavily as he took a relaxing breath.

He held his Evil Pieces in his hand tightly, the box being on his laps. He examined the pieces, and smiled gently, glad to finally have the pieces in his hands, and now he could begin his strong family. He was sure that he was going to gain very powerful servants, he was determined to gain strong and kind servants, and not force them like Diodora has probably done from his perspective.

However, he wasn't alone for long as Koneko soon entered the room, and walked closer to him.

"Hey Koneko-tan, I got my Evil Pieces, I am a King now."

Koneko nodded as she sat next to him.

"…I'm glad Zenki-san was able to get through this."

He chuckled, patting her on the head.

"Yeah, it was a serious thing, wasn't it? Very difficult."

"…I thought Zenki-san was cool."

Koneko said honestly, her eyes going towards his Evil Pieces.

Seeing her eyeing up a Rook piece, he took it out, and dangled it in the air, Koneko's eyes on the piece with expectation.

"Koneko-tan, I remember the promise I made, so I will officially ask you before anyone else. Koneko Toujou, will you become my Rook and stand beside me as my family member, always?"

To Koneko, it sounded like a confession. Her cheeks burned red, and she became a little shy, fiddling with her skirt. Even though she was expecting it, something about it was powerful, it moved her greatly. She felt butterflies fluttering in her stomach. She had awaited the day that Zenki would ask her this, but she didn't expect it to feel so…good, to be truly wanted and desired. She felt many possibilities were good to her now, many possibilities opened up to her, all by standing beside Zenki's side.

"…Since Zenki-san is asking me first…I will of course accept…" She turned her eyes towards Zenki, and showed a smile, a smile only for him. "…I will always stand beside Zenki-san now, as his Rook and…his…lo…"

She mumbled something at the end, but Zenki didn't catch it.

"Hmmm? What did you say Koneko-tan?"

Koneko shook her head…but then a thought came to her, placing her small hands on his lap, her eyes telling her intentions though were lost on the new King before her.

"…Zenki-san, have…you ever kissed anyone…Nee-sama, have you kissed Nee-sama?"

The sudden question caught him off guard. He didn't expect Koneko to ask something so personal all of a sudden, and felt troubled on how to reply to such a pure question.

"A-Ah…no, I haven't ever kissed anyone, to my recollection. Had some pretty close encounters, but besides that, I've never kissed anyone. Ev-Even Kuroka-tan, I haven't…but why did you ask Koneko-tan?"

"…Don't kiss Nee-sama before…"

"Before…what?"

Koneko meowed a little bit as her tail swung around. She took the box of his Evil Pieces and placed them next to him. With a quick motion, Koneko hopped onto his lap, her face burning red, the same with Zenki's face.

Koneko turned around on his face, blushing adorably, a sight rarely seen on the girls face, and rested her head on his chest.

"…If Zenki-san wishes to kiss then…I wouldn't mind being…Zenki-sans partner."

Zenki's mind went blank at Koneko's words, disbelieving that he had heard something like that from the young Nekomata.

"Koneko-tan…to think that you'd say that is…"

He couldn't finish his sentence as she hugged him around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder.

"…Zenki-san, treat me well from now on, okay? …Since it is Zenki-san who has looked after me for nearly a year now…someone that I trust…please take care of me when I become your Rook."

Though he was slightly perplexed by her intentions, he simply inclined his head in agreement.

"If Koneko-tan says that, then I have no choice but to comply. I will definitely take care of Koneko-tan from now on. Don't worry, you'll stand beside me from now on always."

Speaking with a pure and honest heart, Koneko blushed a crimson red, keeping her head on his shoulder so Zenki couldn't see what the girl was doing. Though he couldn't see her face from his angle, he smiled at the fact that Koneko seemed happy right now, and raised a hand to the back of her head, stroking her hair gently.

"Nyan~ Zenki-sans hand is too nice nyaan~"

She meowed when his fingers went over her ears, purring at the same time. Zenki bit his bottom lip, threatening a sound from escaping his throat at the cuteness of Koneko. While Kuroka was very seductive and beautiful, Koneko was cute and innocent. He was just glad that they hadn't teamed up to have their way with him. He wasn't sure if he could survive all of it at the same time.


A little while later, Zenki returned to the main hall, with Koneko by his side. Since it was a public affair, she didn't believe that she could hold his hand, even if she did want too. Zenki on the other hand didn't care if it looked weird or not, but respected Koneko's thought process and allowed her to feel comfortable with what she did.

He could see some of his friends mingling with either their parents, other friends or what have you. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Ravel standing with her parents, having a serious face on. He could see next to her, at the buffet table, Kuroka was pigging out, eating whatever she could get her hands on, Koneko frowning when seeing something that she didn't expect to see.

He couldn't see Sairaorg being around, guessing that he had to go. But he did see him beforehand, and was glad that he at least came. Because he knew now that he was able to face Sairaorg one day as a person he could call rival, and best friend.

The first person to come over to Zenki was Sona, alone. As she did, he noticed that Koneko went off towards Kuroka, giving a small smile when he saw that Koneko willingly went towards Kuroka without any prompting.

"Congratulations, Zenki."

"Aah, Sona-tan. Thank you for coming, it means a great deal to me."

He responded with a carefree smile.

"Yes, I am glad I could be here to see this. Even though it is only gaining your Evil Pieces, it seems that your future is going to get interesting from here on out. Usually, I am of the kind that doesn't take advantage of this, but right now, I cannot help but see myself facing you in a Rating Game."

Speaking her mind honestly, Zenki adopted a smile, putting his best foot forward.

"I am of the same opinion, to go against someone of such intelligence, it surely is going to be a fun game. When we both age to the appropriate age, I cannot wait to face you and your family in a game."

"Of course, it is the same as myself. Though I have my Queen right now, I will gain strong servants as well."

Sona said with a very light but strained smile. Not because of Zenki, but she could literally feel Seekvaira walking closer to her, and she didn't like it, she didn't like Seekvaira listening into her conversations, it made her feel complicated.

"Ah, yes…speaking of, where is your Queen?"

He looked, but he couldn't see Sona's Queen, finding it odd that she wasn't by the girls side.

"Tsubaki is currently at the Sitri manner, she had some…classes to attend too, roles of the Queen and other duties as well. Rias' Queen did the same, but speaking of, Rias' Queen was able to attend however. Tsubaki did give her best though, she is sorry that she couldn't attend."

Zenki nodded in understanding, giving her a smile.

"The thought counts, and I am grateful for your attendance."

As he said that, Seekvaira came over and gave a small smile, Sona frowning at the sight.

"Zenki-kun, you've become a King now."

Seekvaira said with a kind smile, ignoring the look from Sona.

"Aah that's right. I already have some members lined up! And thanks for coming Seeky-tan!"

He cheered, Sona scowling when Seekvaira pushed Sona slightly away, so she did the same, shoving her back.

"That is wonderful." She spoke clearly, shoving Sona backwards and stood in front of her. "And now that you have your pieces, the announcement of your fiancée shan't be that far away now. I am sure that the announcement will be, surprising. Fufu, I am feeling strange when hearing Zenki-kun will be engaged to a girl. So, who are you hoping for?"

As she asked, Sona returned and shoved Seekvaira to the side, she went a bit of distance and nearly bumped into someone. She returned seconds later, and glared at Sona, sparks going off between the eyes of the females with glasses.

"A-Ah, fiancée huh…I've been hearing rumours of a few people, but so far, only a few have caught my interest."

"I presume it isn't Sona-san here."

Sona darkened her glare at the blonde female.

"Well, if he has tastes, it would be me."

Seekvaira didn't like the sound of that. In fact, she didn't even want to be associated with Sona right now, when she was conversing with Zenki.

"Are you implying I don't have his fancy?"

Seekvaira bit back, Sona frowning.

"I didn't imply anything, I always speak my mind. Whether that be the cold truth or the warm truth, doesn't matter to me at all."

At her cool words, Seekvaira tightened her fist, Zenki becoming worried that something might happen between the two of them.

However, before he could say anything, someone rushed him from behind, and wrapped him in a hug…it was Rias. Akeno was slowly followed after her, giving Zenki a smile which he returned.

"R-Rias-tan!"

"Zenki! You're a King now, the same as me and Sona and Seekvaira there. It seems that we're all King's now. Even Sairaorg said that he'd be having you soon enough…in a Rating Game. He couldn't stay around, he was called back to the Bael territory, but he wanted me to give you his best."

She explained as she continued to hug him. Because of the strength she seemed to gain when hugging him, he felt a little sick. He could feel her budding breasts pushing against his back, he couldn't even move properly from the powerful Rias Gremory.

"Aah, is that the case? Then I am pleased. I will catch up with Sai-tan next time. But thanks for coming Rias-tan, and even Akeno-chan came as well."

Upin hearing her name, Akeno raised a hand to her bust, and showed a slightly lingering gaze on his form.

"Ara ara, it seems that Zenki-kun is now a King huh~? Say Rias, is it okay if we trade now?"

Akeno brought up to the confusion of everyone around, most of all Zenki was clueless on what she was thinking about right now.

"T-Trade?"

Rias felt betrayed by the words, as Akeno teasingly walked closer, giving Zenki a warm hug as she stared at the red head.

"Didn't I say it before Rias? As soon as Zenki-kun gained his Evil Pieces, I would want to be traded into his peerage as his Queen? Since Zenki-kun is the man that I place my trust with, I have decided to become his servant. There's such a thing, isn't there? I read it up, and I have heard that becoming a Queen of the son of the Maou-sama would be best. I'd enjoy playful kisses everyday. Even Koneko-chan and Kuroka-chan are going to enjoy such luxuries. I cannot afford to fall behind now, can I? I have to have my cuddle times with Zenki-kun now, before the others get involved."

Akeno playfully pushed Rias, while pushing her assets against Zenki, causing the boy to flush, and Kuroka from afar to glare. Even Serafall, who was talking with others, could somehow hear and see what was going on, and she wasn't happy at all.

"B-But, I have made you my Queen. I cannot sacrifice that now, can I?"

Rias was unsure if Akeno was being serious or not. Even Sona and Seekvaira were clueless about it.

"Fufu, it is okay. You can gain another Queen. I shall join Zenki-kun's peerage, and support Rias from afar. I am sure that you can find someone else to be a Queen, maybe someone who isn't afraid of camels." Rias turned her eyes downwards, wishing Akeno didn't mention that. Akeno turned to Zenki, her eyes fluttering around, and gave him a wink. "Ara, Zenki-kun. Isn't it okay if I join you now? Remember when we first met, you said you'd make me your Queen. Shall I stand beside you now? I can do so, you know? I can stand beside you as your Queen and do…anything that you want~ Rias would be acceptable of it, eventually. She'll understand when it is because I wish to stand beside Zenki-kun."

The teasing increased, the boys face blushing brightly at the implications that she was giving.

It drew frowns from the three heiresses, and even Kuroka and Serafall who weren't even close somehow knew that Akeno was dipping into their territory and they weren't going to have it, they were going to do something about it.

"A-Ah, I don't think that Rias-tan would allow me to do something like that…"

"Fufufu, don't worry about Rias, it will be fine. Just a little trade…" Akeno put a finger to his lips, flicking her finger against it as her large bust pushed against him, the boy having to hold back a groan. "…and I will be all yours, Zenki-kun~"

Using her cat like ears, Kuroka heard what Akeno said, and picked up a cake, ready to throw it at Akeno due to the fact that she thought that Akeno was stealing her place. Fortunately, Koneko stopped her before she could cause a commotion, relief falling into her heart when she stopped the girl.

"A-Ah…"

"Shhh now, Zenki-kun." Akeno soothed with a slightly lustful tone, using her finger on his lip to run it all over the bottom lip, Sona and Seekvaira glaring while Rias just kept her eyes on Akeno. "It's okay Zenki-kun. Even though I am like this, we can have a little fun. Fufufu, can you imagine Rias' face when she hears that I am stealing away Zenki-kun from her?"

"A-Akeno, don't say such things. I am not even interested in Zenki like that."

Rias said it defiantly, shaking her head again and again, not wanting to acknowledge this.

Zenki on the other hand looked on with nervousness. Akeno found it adorable that he looked like that, using her slim fingers to rapidly run all over his jaw, drawing the jealous looks from surprisingly Kuroka.

"Ara ara, Zenki-kun is simply adorable. Even though you're the Maou-sama's son, it seems that you do have an adorable side, don't you? Fufufu, it is okay, I will take care of that adorableness that you possess Zenki-kun. Allow me to take care of you now."

The scowl from Sona was hard to miss. But she held her tongue back for now. Seekvaira was quite seething right now. It seemed like she wanted to say something, but since Akeno wasn't in her house, she couldn't say anything, both Sona and Seekvaira looking at Rias for some answers.

Rias noticed the looks she was getting, and it made her feel uncomfortable.

"W-Well…" As he was going to speak, Ravel came over. "R-Ravel-tan…you came."

Ravel noticed Akeno clinging to Zenki, her eye twitching.

"Y-Yes, my parents wish to converse with you."

Ravel ignored the glance she got from Akeno, doing the lip licking action Kuroka does to her, and she didn't like it. No, she didn't want to even be around women that did this to her.

"A-Ah!" He broke contact with Akeno, who pouted, and retracted away from him. "L-Let us go Ravel-tan!" He walked forward, but then stopped and turned to the girls. "Thank you for coming, everyone. Please excuse me."

With a final bow, he went towards Ravel's parents with the girl herself. Akeno and the others looked on as he left, Akeno ignored the glare that was coming from Kuroka from across the room, but she did give the girl a wink, earning a scowl in return.

Stopping short of the parents, Zenki showed a smile and a bow.

"Good day Lord and Lady Phenex, thank you for meeting with me at this time. I am very pleased that you were able to attend such a celebration. Though it might not be a huge deal, I am pleased that you were able to attend, so I thank you in advance."

The Lord and Lady of the Phenex clan bowed their heads respectably.

"Aah, Zenki-san, you've finally gained Evil Pieces. This is a most joyous day."

Said the Lady of the Phenex clan, Zenki scratching his cheek gently.

"Y-Yes, it seems that I have some more responsibilities, but good ones now."

Zenki retorted to the Lady, the woman giving a smile as Ravel's Father tilted his head to the side.

"Congratulations Zenki." Zenki smiled at the boy, as Ravel was beckoned to Zenki's side. "Now, I am sure that you understand why I called you over to my side."

Zenki inclined his head, clearing his throat.

"Of course Lord Phenex-sama. I have been prepared since before. And I am confident that I can meet the expectations of having Ravel transfer to my family, to my peerage, with your permission of course."

"Ara, speaking so adult like, and you've only just gained your pieces. You're quite the grown up boy, aren't you?"

Ravel's Mother smiled gently, and Zenki showed his most mature looking face.

"Y-Yes, I have to realize that I am growing now, I have many responsibilities that cannot be ignored. And Lady Phenex-sama, please do not be concerned with Ravel-tans future. She'll be well looked after and I will utilize her particular talents as strongly as I can."

He spoke as strongly as he could. Even though he was a child, both adults were impressed by the way he held himself, by the way he didn't flinch even once while under the gaze of either Phenex while a lesser Devil would be anxious to say that they are talking the daughter of the Phenex clan away like this.

"That's a very good thing to hear from you." Ravel's Father began, having a jolly smile. "Since Ravel will be joining your family, ties between our two families will become stronger. Though Ravel may not be your official fiancée, please treat her kindly. She's a bright child with a bright future ahead of her, she needs guidance, which I believe you are best suited. Since I have witnessed you from your birth, I can safely say passing Ravel towards you is a great decision and will allow our two families to connect, and with the Phenex to have a safe secure family with ties to the Maou-sama, and the reverse being true as well. Phenex and Astaroth shall be bonded through this union."

Ravel's face burned red, turning her face towards the side as Zenki smiled his usual heart warming smile, giving a bright nod.

"Y-Yes, of course! Even though Ravel-tan isn't my fiancée, I will take care of her heart and soul until she finds her destined love, whoever that maybe! I will make sure that she stands by my side, and I will use my body as her shield."

Those words made Ravel's Mother feel relieved, and she looked towards her youngest child.

"Ravel, this is important. By becoming apart of Zenki-sans house, you cannot shame him. You must stand beside him, and offer him your support. That child has a bright future ahead of him, he has many possibilities before him, and he has chosen to have you by his side. This is a very big deal. You have to remain close to Zenki-san always, Ravel."

Ravel's face turned even more red, fluttering her eyes as she stood beside Zenki.

"O-Of course, I shall not let our family down, and I will not allow Zenki-sama to regret the decision to allow me to stand beside him."

Ravel was adamant about this. She wasn't going to fail now, she knew that for certain. Even if it wasn't for her house, she had decided that she wasn't going to fail her house now, she wasn't going to allow such things to happen.

"That's very well said, Ravel. Do not tarnish the name of Phenex, and continue your support for Zenki-san here, the next heir…my, getting ahead of myself there. Fufu, what a thing. As the Maou-sama's son, his future is bright Ravel, do not forget this. Though I repeat myself, it is paramount that you stay beside him, get close to him."

Something between mother and child occurred as Zenki wore a clueless face.

Though Ravel understood what her Mother was trying to say, and made it clear that she understood.

"U-Understood Okaa-sama! Please leave the rest to me, I won't fail either the Phenex or Zenki-sama!"

That was enough for both of Ravel's parents, who then gave their true consent.

"Then Ravel, do not forget your role."

"Also, I will have to prepare for future ceremonies…"

The Lady trailed off, Ravel's eyes widening in terror.

"O-Okaa-sama! D-Don't say such things right away! Please wait until we're old enough for such things!"

Ravel became flustered and covered her Mother's mouth who laughed gleefully. Even Ravel's Father smiled elegantly, yet with a hint of a mischievousness in there as well. Zenki didn't quite understand what was going on, but he knew that Ravel was going to be standing beside him now, and that was enough for him.

"Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkiiiiiiiiiiiiii-tttttttaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnn!"

Hearing the bellowing voice of Serafall, he wasn't surprised when she crashed into him at the next instance, tackling him to the ground and straddled his hips straight away, beaming down at the boy.

"S-Sera-tan!"

He complained as others watched Serafall lean down and give him a kiss on the cheek. Sona looked passive about it, but Seekvaira looked as if she was going to giggle from the expression on her friends face.

"Don't worry Zenki-tan, now that you're a King, we can tell everyone about our love and about how we're gonna get married and have a bunch of adorable children together! Damn that kitty Kuroka-chan, Zenki-tan has to be with me first! Even Gabriel wont stop me!"

Most gasped at the 'revelation' while the people that new of Serafall's antics slapped themselves in the face.

As for Zenki, he saw the seething rage on Kuroka's face, becoming worried on what was going to happen next...


Later on, in his room, Zenki laid on the bed as he juggled some of his Evil Pieces in his hand.

As he juggled them, he couldn't get over the fact that neither of his parents didn't come to the party. Though he was old enough and mature enough to understand that they were both busy, he still felt the child in him being disappointed that they missed another important chapter in his life. He wished they'd have come.

"Ara, Zenki is a King now, is he?"

A noise at the door alerted him to the presence of Diodora.

Casting his eyes that way, he wasn't amused.

"Yup, I'm a King now Nii-chan, just like…wait, I'm not like you. I'm not insane or evil."

Zenki bit back, seeing the rage in the elders eyes as he examined the Evil Pieces that he held.

"That's because you're a useless King already, haha."

Snidely, Diodora entered the bedroom, and showed a scowl on his face.

Zenki sat up, and placed his pieces away, putting them to the side as he stood up as well.

"Did you feel bad, that Onii-sama couldn't attend the party? I bet it was shit anyway, a bunch of idiots coming together and celebrating something as stupid as you becoming a King. Tch, it pisses me off that you think you're better than I am."

Zenki sighed, as he didn't even mention anything about being better than Diodora. That was what Diodora thought. Zenki had not even mentioned anything about being better, so Zenki concluded that Diodora really did feel like Zenki was better than him.

"Aah, it doesn't really bother me that Tou-chan didn't come." He lied, not wanting Diodora to have the upper hand, showing a reasonable strong face. "But, it broke my heart when you didn't show up, I was so hoping you would~ Because you would've seen a real King~"

Diodora sharpened his eyes and went towards him.

"Listen to me you little punk. I don't care who you think you are, but I am not someone who you can speak so casually with. Even if you're a King now, it doesn't matter to me. I am far superior to you in every way, you're nothing to me, don't you get something like that?"

Zenki didn't move his body, and his face turned stoic as he replied to Diodora's threat.

"You speak as if I am scared of you, which I am not. But don't worry Diodora-nii, I won't allow anyone to know how sad and pathetic you are that you have to threaten someone to feel good about yourself. Because that's all you're doing, aren't you? You're insecure that now I have my pieces, you're going to fall behind me even more than you are now."

Diodora's face twisted in anger and he raised his fist, putting it right next to the un-phased Zenki.

"Don't you dare presume to know my methods! I do what I do because I am better than you! And if you ever want a true fight, then I will happily end your life! Say, why don't we have a Rating Game when, or more likely if, you get older then I will be able to kill you. Accidental death happens sometimes like that, doesn't it? It would be fine if you die like that, right?"

Zenki snickered at the threats he was gaining from the boy, finding it quite funny.

"You know, you're not very intimidating. It just looks like you're afraid. So, don't be a kid and be afraid like that, it doesn't suit you Dildodora-nii, you're not frightening to me. But some kind of joke, that would be appropriate."

Zenki smirked as Diodora's face fell downwards. It was obvious that he looked truly pissed off right now. He didn't care about that however, he didn't mind upsetting Diodora, he found it to be something fun to do actually. After the day he had, he could have some fun with Diodora, giving him some grief, and he wouldn't be in the wrong since Diodora came in there to annoy him so he's only repaying the favour.

"You don't know anything about-"

"Who's Asia Argento-san?"

Zenki suddenly came out with it, Diodora's eyes widening dangerously.

"H-How do you know that name?"

Diodora's eyes turned red with the colour of anger that Zenki knew the name, wondering where he had heard it before. He was even more and more angry at the sight that was before him, a cold stoned face Zenki. He wasn't going to allow that to happen, ready to attack at any second.

Zenki though didn't show a caring face, only wanting to know what he was doing with Asia Argento, whoever that was.

"I know it because I do. So, who is this Argento-san? I presume it is a girl, but who is it Diodora-nii, I haven't heard anything of this Argento-san being your servant or anything…is it someone that you're planning to make your servant or something?"

Diodora breathed heavily, and made an aura appear around him. It was dense and heavy.

"You don't have to know something like that, you cannot know anything about it so keep your fucking nose out of my business. If you don't, something truly terrible is going to happen to you."

Zenki did the same, but dwarfed the aura that Diodora made by many times the power, showing his dominating over his elder uncle.

"Is that so?" Zenki folded his arms, glaring with hate at the man before him. "If that's the case, then I will happily put you in your place. I don't mind doing this, it doesn't seem like it would be a bad thing to do."

Diodora didn't answer, so Zenki increased the aura heavily. It made Diodora sweat, the amount of power he could release. Even he wouldn't admit that he could release such a power, and became a little worried about how strong the younger was, having to train his power to match the power Zenki had.

Just as he was feeling the aura, Ajuka came into the room, so they immediately stopped the aura.

"My, it seems like I am interrupting something."

"N-Not at all, Onii-sama!"

Diodora said quickly and obediently.

Ajuka gave him a curious look and breezed past him.

"Diodora, I need to converse with my son, so if you could leave?"

Diodora grumbled something, glaring at Zenki and left. Though at the last second, Zenki saw the devious eyes of Diodora, and Zenki saw a little dark intentions, Zenki deciding to have to find out who Asia is, so he couldn't do anything to her, he just knew that by how he reacted, Diodora was going to do something to this Asia, and he wasn't going to allow it.

Once he was gone, Zenki turned his eyes from his Father, unable to look at the man.

"Zenki, are you disappointed in me? In your Okaa-san as well for not attending this important event?"

"Of course not. Why would I be disappointed? It isn't like this is a new thing."

His Father could tell by the tone that he was lying. It was one of the things he wasn't good at, at least when his Father was concerned.

Ajuka sat down on the boys bed, and eyed up the Evil Pieces, his own creation that he could pass onto his son now, though he wasn't able to do it officially. Ajuka looked regretful about that little part, he wasn't able to do something like that.

"Seems like you have a good set."

"Yeah…"

He could barely respond, and Ajuka couldn't blame him.

"Have you got anyone in mind to become apart of your peerage?"

Ajuka questioned further, trying to figure out the boy, and see what's wrong, though he had a pretty good idea already.

"Koneko-tan and Ravel-tan, and possibly Kuroka-tan as well. At least, I will have a few great people on my peerage. Beyond that, I haven't found anyone that I would like and I am not interested in other peoples opinions on the matter. Especially those Devils who are trying to force me to add people that I do not wish to be on my peerage, so they could get close to me. Unlike Ravel-tan who wants to be beside me for good reasons, they only want to be beside me for darker and more horrid intentions."

He didn't look at his Father when he answered.

Ajuka bit his lip, and looked at the pieces again, giving a small smile towards them.

"You know, when I received notice of your coming into this world, I couldn't wait to see what you'd turn out like. But right now, it seems my input in your life is minimal at best. But at least, I know you have good people around you."

Ajuka was at least satisfied with that. Even if he himself wasn't doing a good job, he was confident that his son had a close group of people he could call friend.

"I do have good people, I have people that stand beside me. Even during the celebration, they were there right beside me."

Ajuka nodded, then remembered something.

"What about Diodora? Have you been improving your relationship?"

At that, Zenki lowered his face.

"There's no point in trying to be friends with someone like him Tou-chan. He's a cruel, and manipulative person. I already told you about what he does to his servants. Maou-sama knows what else he does when we aren't looking. I know he's a High-Class Devil and all, but he is not a person who should be allowed servants. He'll only abuse them."

Zenki spoke his mind. He genuinely thought that this was the case.

Though, even with his passionate words, Ajuka didn't truly listen to him.

"Diodora wouldn't do that. Diodora is a lot of things, but to think he'd abuse them…I've already told him that he cannot do what you told me he did. He won't do it again."

Zenki wasn't of the same opinion at that. He was sure that Diodora would abuse them again, and when he did, Zenki was going to be right there to stop him, even if he has to force the issue.

Zenki then looked up at his Father.

"Tou-chan, why did you come?"

"Because I wanted to see something's, is all. I wanted to apologize, that I couldn't attend."

"I already said it doesn't matter. You've said sorry, and that's enough for me."

He wasn't sure if he truly meant those words. He was used to being let down by his parents, so it was a normal thing for him now. He loved his parents dearly, but sometimes, he wished that they paid attention to him as well. But then he'd think about what Koneko and Kuroka had gone through, and his own pain seemed to be something that didn't matter much.

Ajuka showed a frown on his face, at his own attitude, and stood up.

"Congratulations regardless, Zenki."

"Thanks, Tou-chan."

He said with a smile, and Ajuka left. But as he was leaving, the elder looked at the boy who was still on the bed, looking at his Evil Pieces. Even though he seemed to be a little down, he was glad that Zenki could have his Evil Pieces.


A little while later, Zenki laid in his bed in the darkness, and his door opened.

It was Kuroka, who came into the room, wearing nothing but some panties and a lacy bra, that were both black. She didn't seem to have a problem walking around in something so revealing, because she was that comfortable with her living arrangements now.

"Zenki-chan nyaaa~ I've come~"

Zenki cast his eyes towards the door, to see Kuroka stood there, and smiled softly.

"Kuroka-tan, are you sleeping in here?"

She smirked, and rushed the bed, jumping on it, and crawling in straight away.

"Of course I am nyaaa~ Since it is Zenki-chan, he can't sleep alone, right nyaa? You're a naughty child that cannot sleep without a woman right next to you. It is okay, I will sacrifice my body for you Zenki-chan nyaaa~"

He lightly smiled, and petted her on the top of the head as she cuddled next to him. She wrapped her arms around his clothed chest, dragging her raunchy fingers across his torso. She found an opening in his shirt, and slipped her cool fingers inside, allowing the icy fingers to rest on his warm body, warming her up.

"Kuroka-tan, what a day, huh."

He muttered as he got comfortable on the bed.

Kuroka rested her head on his chest, unbuttoning his shirt so her head could rest on his flesh rather than his shirt covered chest.

"Yup nyaaa~ You've become a King now nyaaa~ So, what are your plans now nyaaa~?"

"Well…Koneko-tan said she definitely wants to become my Rook now. I am going to turn her tomorrow morning, is that fine with you?"

"It is her decision." Kuroka yawned, snuggling against him as she purred. "And I have made a decision as well nyaaa."

That perked Zenki's interest, his ears ready to receive her information.

"Yes?"

"Since Shirone is obviously infatuated with you, I have decided to personally become apart of your peerage nyaaa."

Zenki became happy, looking at the golden eyes that the Nekomata displayed.

"T-Truly?"

He couldn't quite believe it. There was some talk about it, but he didn't believe that she would. She seemed against it for a long time, but now she was doing something that was completely something that he wouldn't expect from her.

"Of course nyaaa~" She told him straight away. "Besides Shirone, I have my own reasons to become apart of your peerage nyaaa~"

"O-Oh?"

Kuroka nodded her head.

"That's right. I've got to make sure that Zenki-chan gives me kittens nyaaa~"

"Kuroka-tan…"

Kuroka smiled ever so sweetly, her eyes fluttering as she wormed her way up his body and gently kissed his cheek. He flushed at the touch of her lips, and went to put a hand to where she kissed, but before she could, Kuroka grabbed his hand and put her fingers through his own fingers, lacing them together.

"Don't forget Zenki-chan, my dream is to have many kittens, and you're going to help, right?"

"I-I did say I would…"

He recalled when he did say that. At the time, though he didn't know he was signing up for it himself. Now though, he wanted to help Kuroka with her dream of reviving her near extinct race.

"Nyaaa~ Such an honest child. It is okay nyaaa. I have decided to have you impregnate me nyaaa. I thought that having strong genes was important, but I have thought of something else that is important as well nyaaa."

"W-What's that then?"

Kuroka showed a face that she usually didn't show, which was pure and honest, and gave Zenki a bright warm smile that even made his cheeks flush.

"I kinda like it when Zenki-chan takes care of me, and even though we didn't meet under the best circumstances, I like being under Zenki-chan's care. And if I don't at least repay a little bit of Zenki-chan's kindness, I'd be a bitch, huh nyaaa~? But that doesn't matter right now. I have decided that I want to become apart of Zenki-chan's family nyaaa~ You made an attractive offer, and the inner flirt in me couldn't allow some other bitches into your family and take my place as your kitten nyaaa~ Shirone is fine, she can become a kitten of yours as well, but I knew you first, so I am your first kitten nyaaa~"

"A-Ah…eerm…"

Zenki was having trouble had to respond. He didn't expect Kuroka to sound so sincere. He didn't even know that she could open up in this type of way.

Kuroka put a finger to his lips, licking hers in a dangerous manner.

"Though I am a naughty cat, Zenki-chan saw good in me and reunited me with my darling Imouto. For that, Zenki-chan is the person I have decided to stand beside. Even if other offers came along, this cat is loyal to this young green haired child. Don't worry, I won't be leaving your side ever nyaaa~"

"T-That's actually sweet Kuroka-tan…"

The Neko smiled, then it turned dirty, and with one swipe of her hand, she ripped open his shirt, exposing his chest to her and she licked her lips again, very dangerously, seductively, and her eyes became heavy with lust.

"Now, let's do it!"

Kuroka lunged forward as he yelled "DON'T!" but Kuroka didn't listen and roughly kissed his neck, even giving it a little nibble.

"Aaah!"

He moaned as her teeth sunk slightly into his neck. He'd accuse her of being a Vampire if he didn't know she was a Nekoshou. Even then, she stimulated a pleasure centre that was in his neck, Kuroka smirking around his neck at her accomplishments.

"Such an honest child now aren't you nyaaa? That's okay, you're needy and I like needy." Kuroka smirked, then her face became a warm and comforting look, giving his cheek a pat. "Don't worry nyaa. I won't rape you." Somehow, that made him feel relieved. Though he didn't think she would, he felt better that she had said it. "But, don't forget nyaa. I do want some cute kittens from you in the near future~"

"C-Can't you wait until I'm older?"

Kuroka shook her head.

"The sooner the better nyaaa."

"Ehehe…w-what about when…I am in college?"

Kuroka again shook her head.

"Kittens Zenki-chan~ They need to be realized sooner rather than later~ Being in college, you'd be way into teenage age, and you can have sex before that~ I won't allow you to wait that long~ Actually, I am going to be very difficult and say that I can't wait that long Zenki-chan nyaaa. Maybe it is selfish of me, but I cannot do it Zenki-chan nyaaa~ You have to do something to me nyaaa~"

"B-But…H-High School…?"

Kuroka thought about it for a moment, shrugging her shoulders.

"I will at least wait until then…but Zenki-chan, when you enter High School, I want to start having sex nyaaa~ I won't allow for anything different than that nyaaa~ I'm being completely serious right now nyaaa~"

Zenki gulped, and could only incline his head, knowing that this would be the best solution, and would deal with it when the time came. He didn't know what the future held, he wasn't even sure what was going to happen. But if he was going to be with Kuroka or not, would be a question for another time.

"R-Right, that's the best way…"

"Good boy nyaaa~" She sang, once again returning her head to his chest. "By the way nyaaa. I think that we should have sex for your birthday, a birthday present nyaaa~"

Zenki slapped himself in the head, his limit being reached.

"IS THAT ALL YOU THINK ABOUT!?"

He raged, but Kuroka showed a bright smile as her eyes went towards his.

"No nyaaa~ I think about positions nyaaa~ Preferably, I would like to look you in the eye as you fuck me nyaaa~"

He sighed heavily, knowing that this was going to be a long night…


That night, Zenki had to go to the bathroom.

He did his business, and since it wasn't in his room, it was a different part of the castle it was in. It was dark in the corridors as he walked, but due to his Devil eyes, he was able to see quite clearly through the corridors.

As he walked back however, he passed by Diodora's room. For reasons he didn't understand, the door wasn't locked at all. It wasn't even sealed at all. He found it suspicious so he walked closer towards the door, and peaked through. He didn't trust Diodora, so any chance he got to know his secrets, he was going to take it and he masked his presense with demonic power, good enough to fool Diodora into thinking he wasn't there.

What he saw was Diodora, and a few of his peerage members. He couldn't see what was happening clearly at first, he thought that they were asleep, but then he heard a sensual moan coming from the room.

At the moan, Zenki gasped almost silently, pulling away from the door...but then he heard his name and became interested.

"Damn that Zenki, he's a fucking King now, it is going to be a little more difficult touching him..."

Zenki sharpened his eyes as he heard a small "Iyaaaa!" cry from the room.

Peaking slowly, he saw a girl with a red hand print across her face.

From that, he could guess that there was some heavy handed activities going on in there, and he clenched his fist.

He hated that Diodora could abuse his servants like this, and get away with it. Each time he told someone, they didn't truly listen. Even his parents didn't truly listen. The only people that did were his friends, but they were in a similar boat to him in respect that they wouldn't be able to do anything like him either.

"...But, even Zenki won't know what I am going to do to precious Asia-tan~ I am going to..."

As Zenki heard, he moved away, and felt disgusted. Even though he only caught some of it, he heard enough to know that Diodora was going to do something to this Asia, and he wasn't going to allow it. He wasn't going to allow it if he could help it, and listened a little longer to see what Diodora was saying, hearing some vital pieces of information.

Once getting what he needed, he returned to his bedroom, disturbed about what he heard.

As he got into the bed, Kuroka felt the disturbance of the bed, cracking her eye open to see the equally disturbed Zenki.

Since she didn't like it, she questioned it sweetly.

"Hmmm, what's wrong Zenki-chan nyaaa?"

At her sweet alluring voice, his head cocked towards her, seeing her giving him a sweet gaze, no hint of the flirt there this time. Kuroka was too exhausted to do something like that.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I wake you?"

She shrugged her shoulders as she hugged him around his neck, pulling his face into her bust. He gushed slightly, but still held a frown on his face.

"Ara? Whats wrong? My breasts usually cause you to go nuts, yet they aren't? Whats going on nyaaa?"

"It's Dildodora." He began, holding a hand to his forehead. "I feel like he's going to do something to an innocent girl, and it isn't like there's anything I can..."

He trailed off as Kuroka gave him a suspicious look.

"Hmmm? Whats with the sexy looking face nyaaa?"

Zenki smiled a little bit, looking up at her face.

"Say, you like tormenting people, right?"

"I'd say that I love it nyaaa~"

She didn't mind agreeing, so his smile widened.

"And you hate Dildodora, right?"

"With a fucking passion nyaaa. But what's going on?"

He leaned up the bed, and Kuroka's head fell onto his chest as he gained a shit eating grin.

"Say, wanna help me scare Dildodora a little bit?"

"Nyaaa?"

At that, Zenki hatched a little plan in his head...


A few days later, in a certain area of Europe, stood Diodora.

In a forest, surrounded by many trees, was Diodora. The air was brisk, it felt prickly on his skin and he had a dirty smile on his face.

In a fair distance, away from most normal areas, a Church could be seen. It was an ordinary Church as far as one could tell. It was a little bigger than a usual Church would be, and it had the normal crosses outside, and other items as well.

A sanctuary could be seen, an outside one at that. It looked to be quite beautiful, and sat there, was a single girl.

She was quite pretty for a girl her age. She appeared to be the same age as Zenki himself, being 12 years old. She had long golden blonde hair that reached the middle of her back, split bangs framing her adorable face and a single strand of hair that is sticking out of the top of her head, sloping backwards. A pair of emerald like eyes shone in the minimal sunlight that reached her face. She was wearing a nuns habit, a dark teal coloured one at that.

She sat in the middle of what could be described as a sanctuary, though also a quad it could be described. There was a small fountain in the middle that had a religious icon in the middle, spewing water from its mouth. The sound of birds chirping could be heard as this nun prays in the centre.

Diodora's eyes were transfixed on this girls form. He couldn't take his eyes off her. Just something about this cute girl made him feel, good inside. It was unmistakable that she was very cute, but the way he looked right now, was very creepy. It was a look that shouldn't be on anyone's face, yet it was on his face.

He was mesmerized by this beautiful girl, hypnotized by this girl and walked more and more forward.

"Ara, Dildodora-nii-chan. What are you doing?"

Diodora suddenly stopped in his walking, and looked around.

"Zenki…"

He hissed, looking around for the boy, but couldn't see him. Left and right, he couldn't see the boy. Back and forward, he couldn't see the girl either. Whichever way he looked, he couldn't see the boy at all, and he was becoming annoyed.

"That's right, Dildodora-nii. It is I, Zenki Astaroth, and I've got my eyes on you~"

Suddenly, Diodora heard the nose come from behind him, and surely enough, he saw that Zenki was stood there, looking at him as a large coat hung over his form, keeping him warm from the bitterness of the day.

"Zenki…so, you've resorted to following me, have you?"

"That's right. I didn't trust you this morning. You made erratic movements, and I feel like there is something going on in this part of the world right now. I decided to give you a little follow, as I have been hearing rumours that you might be gaining a new servant, I wanted to see if it was legit. So, what's going on Diodora-nii? Could it be due to the female over there?"

He gestured to the blonde haired girl, though wasn't truly able to see her from his location.

Diodora looked behind him to see the girl praying still. He then turned his eyes towards Zenki, showing a dirty smile.

"I'm out for a walk."

"Near a church? Hard to believe."

Zenki frowned out the answer, Diodora smirking.

"Is it a crime?"

"When it is you, I wouldn't put anything past you. There's just something about you that makes this seem a little dangerous. Though I can't place my finger on it, I think it has something to do with that nun girl over there. It isn't right Diodora-nii?"

A hint of malice entered the eyes of Diodora, while Zenki remained standing where he was.

Diodora moved forward, and increased his aura.

"Don't think you can stand there before me and suddenly say such things. I have a right to walk wherever the hell I want to walk."

"Okay, you've got a point. But that girl over there wouldn't be Argento-san would it?"

At that, Diodora sharpened his eyes.

"If it was, would it matter? I am entailed to do what I want to do. Even if it does matter, that girl is a nun, and I am interested in her ability. Aren't we Devils who seek power for powerful servants. You yourself want to have strong servants."

"Not by taking it from them. It is their choice with me. I wouldn't force anyone to join my peerage, even if I desperately wanted them. The only time that I would have to come close is if I found someone dead on the ground and found their abilities interesting. Even then, I would allow them many freedoms to do whatever they wanted. For you though, I just don't see it happening. The rumours of you forcing people to join your peerage cannot be ignored. Even if Tou-chan doesn't understand, I won't allow you to do whatever you want, especially to a nun who is pure and innocent."

At the words 'pure' and 'innocent' the inner sadist of Diodora took over for a moment, and a truly disgusting smile spread across his face. It was a disturbing look to his face, even Zenki felt sick to his stomach to see how gleeful he was.

"Well, that's not something you have to worry about. If I add that girl to my peerage or not…besides, you're alone, and alone, means I can do things to you. Magical things that won't ever trace back to me. It was a big mistake coming on your own, because I will just have to take your life right here and now, won't I?"

"Heh, I love the fact that you're not even covering your actions up right now. I'm glimpsing at the real Diodora and I can't say that my initial assumption of you is wrong. You truly are someone who I revile, and when did I mention that I was alone?"

Diodora blinked in puzzlement, so Zenki pointed upwards.

Following his finger, he saw Kuroka sat in the tree with a dark leather coat on and shades, giving a wink as she pulled down the shades then returned them to cover her eyes.

"Nyaaaa~"

She waved as Zenki pointed to the left of him.

Diodora followed that finger to see Koneko leaning against a tree, dressed in a cute white coat on, her arms folded.

"…We got you marked."

Koneko spoke as she continued to lean against the tree, her eyes not leaving Diodora's form.

Zenki them motioned behind Diodora, so Diodora looked behind him, to see Ravel dressed in a extravagant dress, and a purple fur coat as well, waving like a true princess towards the person called Diodora.

"Hello Diodora-sama, what a crisp day, wouldn't you agree?"

Ravel spoke with a gentle face, but her eyes showed anything but gentle natures.

Diodora took a step back as Koneko walked closer, Ravel doing the same, Kuroka jumping out of the tree, Zenki moving forward as well.

He was covered from all sides. Left, right, back and front, he was covered. He couldn't escape, no matter where he went. He gritted his teeth and made an expression as if he had eaten a bug before, he didn't like it in the slightest.

"S-So, what is this? Going to kill me now?"

Diodora whined, unsure of what his nephew was going to do. He was at a disadvantage; he wasn't sure what he was going to do at this point. He didn't know what he was going to do at all.

Zenki raised his finger like a gun, pointing it at Diodora.

"Don't worry Dildodora-nii, we aren't going to do anything to you. I mean, I don't play like that. When we have a fight, it is going to be just me and you, I won't ask my adorable peerage members to be involved."

"T-Then why are you…"

Zenki and the others could see the fear in Diodora's eyes. Even he couldn't deny that his situation wasn't favourable.

Zenki inched closer, and patted Diodora on the face.

"It is best if you run along now. I won't allow you to take that Sister over there. I don't know why you want her, but I know your methods are bad, so I won't allow you to corrupt a member of the Church like this. She's a nun, and being a Devil would be a very hard act to do to her, so why don't you run along now?"

Diodora flinched and attempted to take a step back, but the Phenex girl showed a smile, stopping him in his present location. He looked at Koneko who blankly stared at him, and then towards Kuroka who showed a dangerous face.

"Y-You can't stop me turning anyone I want into a Devil…"

Zenki didn't deny this, but he wasn't going to allow Diodora to harm the nun either.

"No, but I don't think Tou-chan would be happy if you force a member of the church into a Devil. The ties between the factions is already strained. If they hear about a Devil forcibly taking a girl like that, which I presume is special if you want her, then those ties would become more strained. I am doing you a favour, really. I am protecting you and the Three Factions from breaking down at the seams. So, why don't you run along and we can forget about the nun girl over there, alright? It would be better if you left right now. If she wasn't affiliated with the Church, then it would be a little different. Even then, thinking about you forcing yourself onto someone like that, it does turn my stomach. So, could you leave please?"

Diodora's brow drenched with his sweat, his eyes sharpened to a dangerous degree. Even his hands were sweating despite the type of weather that was happening right now. It was a very cool yet also bitter morning.

Seeing that he didn't have a choice, Diodora activated a transportation circle.

"I understand dear nephew. I shall take your words and think them over. Thank you, I shall leave now."

While saying that with a kind smile, a much darker sinister one lurked in the wings, and didn't go unnoticed by Zenki and the others. Diodora then disappeared, but vowed in his heart that he wasn't going to give up, he wasn't going to surrender this nun, he was just going to have to get a little more, creative.

Once he was gone, the girls walked closer to Zenki, and each gave him hugs.

"Geez, there's no need to worry. Dildodora is gone now."

"You think he'll come back?"

Ravel pondered, Zenki nodding.

"I have no doubt that he will. For a few days at least, the girl should be safe. But to be on the safe side, I will be watching over her. Dildodora is the type that will give up eventually when he can't get what he wants, or takes a different path instead….burr, it is cold, isn't it?"

He shivered, as Koneko put her hands together.

"…It is cold…" She looked towards Ravel who frowned. "…May I have some fried chicken to warm me up?"

Ravel tightened her fist as Kuroka snickered, proud of her younger sister. Koneko then put her hands towards Zenki, and knowing what she wanted, took her hands gently, and blew hot air onto them, warming them up. Koneko's small face turned red, and this time it wasn't from the coolness of the day.

"D-Don't you start on me. I am apart of Zenki-sama's family now, you cannot-"

"…Zenki-san turned me first, I am his first…everything."

Adding that at the end, Ravel pouted and shook her head while mimicking the girls actions, having Zenki blow on her hands as well, if only to make sure that Koneko didn't get ahead of her too much, and though he was the King, he didn't mind doing things for his now servants.

"It's too bad for you, because Zenki-sama and I are going to be next to one another, always."

Ravel boasted, showing a bright grin on her face, placing her hands on her hips.

"…Zenki-san promised me the same thing."

Koneko answered Ravel's annoyed face as Kuroka went towards Zenki and held him tightly.

"Nyayayaya, this boy has promised me kittens, I ain't losing them now~ Shirone, if you're that worried about losing Zenki-chan to the bird-chan, we can have a threesome with Zenki-chan, I wouldn't mind that~"

Zenki blushed a little bit as Ravel and Koneko glared at the eldest female around.

"Now, now, there's no need to f-fight…" Kuroka went to his ear, and nibbled it, Zenki groaning at the nibble. "S-Stop that Kuroka-tan."

"Nope~"

She continued nibbling, earning moans and scowls from Zenki and Koneko plus Ravel respectably.

"O-Okay, but since it is early…w-we should get something to eat…m-maybe we could get some local cuisine or something."

"Ara, that's a cute suggestion nyaaa~ To the left, there is a small town, I can sense it nyaaa~ We should go there~ It should take, like a few seconds to teleport and like…I dunno, ten minutes to walk there or something? No, best make that twenty with the way Ravel-chan walks, since she is so bloody slow in her movements nyaa~"

Kuroka answered with a meowing sound as Ravel shot her a dark glare, so Zenki looked at the girls.

"Is that okay with you two?" Ravel and Koneko looked at one another for a moment before nodding their heads in agreement. "Alright then! Let's get going! And Kuroka-tan, stop picking on Ravel-tan."

"Awwww...can I have one more...?"

She pouted adorably, showing her cat like traits by nuzzling him.

He gave in almost instantly.

"Once more."

He held up his trembling finger as Ravel shook her head.

"I won't allow it!"

Kuroka smirked and went towards Ravel, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

"Don't worry little bird, I will take it out in time, not now though~"

Ravel shivered from fright, Koneko looking towards her new King in puzzlement as to what they were doing next.

"…Are we walking?"

Koneko wondered, Zenki giving a smile.

"It's a lovely day, and a little walking doesn't hurt anyone, right? Though we best go before anyone from the Church senses our presences."

"Agreed, it should be fun, as long as we avoid the Church over there."

Ravel pointed and began walking, Kuroka as well.

"Don't worry about that, I used Senjutsu to mask our presences, the Church won't know that we were here nyaaa~"

Kuroka sang out as she walked right next to Ravel, teasing the poor girl who scowled.

Koneko went to the side of Zenki and gently took his hand.

"You want to hold my hand Koneko-tan?"

His cheery tone, allowed Koneko to make the smallest of nods.

"…Yes, I like…when we hold hands…even if you're my King now…I like it."

She said, barely above a whisper, but Zenki got it, and clutched her hand in his, holding it tightly enough to show that he cared for her.

"Then, there's no worry about their my adorable first family member. We shall definitely go now, don't you think?"

"…Yes, let us get something to eat."

He smiled down at his new Rook and went to take a step forward, when his eyes went towards where the girl was.

The blonde haired girl was now holding what appeared to be a sparrow in her hands, a gentle smile on her face.

"Did you get your wing hurt? It is okay, I will definitely heal you."

Somehow, he was able to hear her voice through the air. It was as if it carried to his soul. The voice sounded something of what he expected an Angel to sound like, though he had never met one before. He would accuse the girl of being one if he didn't know that the girl was a human.

Then, something astonishing happened.

The young girls fingers gained some rings, and a bright green light erupted forth and enveloped her dainty hands. The light went towards the sparrow, washing over the wing of the sparrow, as Zenki observed what was happening.

At first, the sparrow didn't move...

That was until the girls hands stopped glowing and the sparrow chirped and flapped its wing.

Zenki was quite impressed, his eyes lingering on the girls form. Something about the gentleness of her eyes captivated him. He was drawn in by her emerald eyes, and her gentle disposition. His cheeks turned ever so red when seeing the girls smile towards the bird.

"It's okay now, you can fly away back to your home."

The bird chirped again and did something astonishing to Zenki.

It nuzzled the girls face, and used its newly healed wing to brush her face.

"Hehehehehe~ Please, it is okay~"

The girl giggled, making Zenki's heart beat a little faster. His cheeks flushed ever so slightly as she giggled, he couldn't stop himself. Like Diodora, he was captivated by her, but unlike Diodora, who had a dirty smile on his face, Zenki had a warm smile on his face, staring at this girl who was able to make him feel a little warmer in his chest.

"…Zenki-san, we should go."

Koneko grabbed his attention, his eyes going towards the young girl, still in a daze.

"Y-Yes, we should go…"

Gaining a nod from Koneko, the pair of them walked forward. However, Zenki took one last look towards the blonde haired girl, to see that she was still playing with the bird. Even though she was a nun, there was something about her that was, very dazzling. Something that he couldn't put his finger on.

With a last look, Zenki moved on with Koneko, but unable to get out the blonde haired girl from his mind, and he didn't know why.


End chapter!

Okay, now Zenki has his Evil Pieces and has made Koneko, Ravel, and Kuroka his peerage members! He bonded a little with each girl as well as seeing some other character interactions! Even seeing the somewhat strained relationship that Ajuka and Zenki have as well as Asia being somewhat introduced! She'll be appearing more in the coming chapters!

With regards to Akeno, I toyed around with the relationship they could have this chapter, so it could go either way right now. Rias is a, uncertainty just yet, I mean I can't take everything away from Issei so right now, it is unlikely, but isn't impossible.

Now for Rias' peerage, Aika is going to be the Rook (I have some good ideas for her) and while I haven't decided the Knight just yet, there has been some great ideas so thank you for them!

Alrighty! Now the vote is in, and Irina is officially on the peerage! Now there's only three Pawn pieces left! As for those last Pawn pieces, I have a few ideas, and as most of you have guessed, I'd like to have the opinion of my lovely readers, so here it is!

Kunou (I know she's a princess is canon and cannot really become a Devil, but that's canon and this isn't, and I have a few ideas for her to be on the peerage and she'd probably take a mutated Pawn as well), Elmenhilde (I have some good ideas for her as well in regards to the story), Bennia (Could be interesting and a reader suggested it and I liked it), Le Fay (She's a pretty cool magician and she could be a great asset on his peerage), Miltelt (Some have suggested her and I have a few ideas on how to add her and what her role in the peerage would be), Raynare (Same as Miltelt), Kalawarner (Same as Miltelt). Preferably, I'd like one to two people at most to take the rest of the Pawns. Since there's a wide range there, please vote! And since I didn't mention how many pieces Kuroka took, I can still change that to fit one of the girls in the list, so please keep that in mind as well!

With nothing to add, until next time!
