Chapter Text

A few billion years ago shined the brightest star. One no angel had ever seen before that day. That was when god said let there be light and bestowed upon the world the morning star and evening star.

Sariel and Michael, divine twins blessed by father himself with everlasting beauty and grace. But within the youngest twin lied a destiny to messy to unfurl, even for God himself.

Sariel was not only given a blessing by god, but blessings from all angels who saw her. For they were so taken by her divine beauty, hoping to get their hands on her. She created the first temptation, more precisely she WAS the first temptation.

But none ever got too close because between them lied the six. Azrael, Uriel, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and God himself. All defended Sariel from all those seeking to take away her honor.

But none followed this as closely as Michael, for he had been born for her, and her honor was his as well. But as Millenias flew by his will to protect her honor became love.

But that’s not what he was created for, he was created to protect and to bring happiness. What a shame nothing worked out like that.
________________

God was the perfect father… okay… he was A father. But he always tried his best! But how could he focus on anything else other than his darling daughter as tempting as the fruit on the forbidden tree. As bright and curious as the stars, but still so dim compared to his dreams for her.

He saw her, in all her future glory, as a lovely wife. If not for him maybe one of his sons…

He believed he could deal with it, as long as her smile was still as bright and she was as happy as he could make her. He would’ve made her so happy…

He couldn’t focus on that! He threw himself into his newest project the the Whoman, the name could use some work, but he had everything planned out.

These creatures would be smart enough to act as Sariel’s playmates, and toys if that’s what she wanted. He put everything into this project, even if only for one of her smiles.

But Khaos works in strange ways, and within these ways Roo was created. Roo was, to be simple, evil personified. Nothing could scare her away from her next game. As mysterious as Khaos himself, she was.

Could that have been why his precious daughter was so taken by her. If so, he’ll put those traits into the humans!

And before long the project was done, he passed it along to one of the angels, Sera, to give to his darling daughter, before resting for billions of years. Maybe that was why it all went wrong…

Sera POV

Okay, give this to Sariel, no problem, no problem! I got this! Okay, but… where is she?

I wander around for a moment before something, or someone, crashes into me, at what feels like 100 mph.

“Hey, watch where you’re going, I have a very important mission from the father himself!” I scold whoever knocked into me from the ground. Ugh my robes probably dirty now, I look up and see Sariel.

“Oh my father! I’m soooooo sorry Sera. Are you okay? Did I hurt you? Oh my father I feel so bad! But hey what are you holding? Wait don’t tell me yet, are you okay first?” She asks me, looking at me with those worry filled baby blue trinket eyes.

“Sariel… yes I’m fine, I was actually looking for you.” I say as I hand her father’s project.

“Father told me to bring it to you, father said it was a gift for you, that he had been working on it for you for quite a while.” I look at her, and I immediately smile. How could I not? She’s beautiful and she only becomes more beautiful with that cheeky smile.

“Oooh let me see what father made! Whomans…? Did he mean to put unmans or maybe… Humans! Yes humans, this says I can alter them as I see fit, so yes humans, that sounds amazing. Thank you Sera, I’m going to go visit them and then show my brothers.” She tells me, but I stare in horror. It’s an unspoken rule not to talk to Sariel when she’s not in the protection of one of her protectors, or brothers as she calls them. Mentioning me could mean my own death!

“No, um… father said this is for your eyes only!” I swiftly lie, and I just hope she buys it.”

“Hmmm okay! Bye!” She says, but before she goes, she plants a sweet chaste kiss on my left cheek, as a ‘thank you’ and immediately I brighten.

“B- bye Sariel!” I squeak out my face darkening with blush at the second. All she does though is look at me and smile before rushing off. Oh… how I love her! And her smile, her wayward eyes! Oh she is just perfect, truly made in father’s image. ____________ Lilith’s POV

My name is Lilith. I was named by the most beautiful creature in existence. She was looking at a flower? It’s this thing that grows in the dirt. She told me that I’m as beautiful as a lilac, so she calls me Lilith.

It’s been two moons since I last saw her, I wonder if she’s doing alright. Hopefully she hasn’t tripped on and vines!

“Adam, when did our Sariel say she would be back.” I ask the stupid man next to me. Somehow hoping the answer would change.

“She said she would be back in three moons, it’s been two moons… so in five moons?” I look at him such an exasperated look, I think even he understands.

“No, you idiot, 3-2 is 1, Sariel taught us this!” I glare at him and raise my hand, ready to pummel some sense into this idiot, before I hear a familiar humming.

“Hi guys, miss me?” Oh Sariel, beautiful, beautiful, Sariel, always showing right before I beat some sense into Adam.

“Sariel… Lilith’s being mean to me!” That idiot! Always running behind Sariel whenever we disagree! Oh how I hate him. I wish I could stay with someone smarter, someone like…

Before I can even finish that thought, Sariel interrupts me.

“Guys, I found something… I found this tree!” She tries to explain before Adam interrupts her.

“There’s trees all around us-“ He looks at as I put a hand over his mouth.

“Shut up Adam, let her talk!” I scream at him.

“Thank you Lilith! As I was saying- I saw this tree, it has this red fruit, I thought it was the forbidden tree, but I saw this woman, she told me to come closer. But… I got scared can you guys come with me? Please…”

She looks at us with those perfect eyes and angelic smile. I can’t help to say yes.

“Yes” “No!” I look beside me at Adam who is cowering at the thought.

“Ladies you two can go do whatever you want, but count me out.” Ugh coward, but atleast I get some alone time with Sariel. She looks indecisive about it so I reassure her.

“Cmon let’s go, I’ll go with.” I can see that convinced her, so off we went.

After walking until the sun came up, we finally made it. I see the tree she was talking about, and I’m tempted to grab the red fruit hanging from the tree. Sariel snaps me out of my trance.

“Do you see it!” She shouts at me, just as she does I see the blackish red tentacles shoot at Sariel.

I hear a scream but it seems to be my own. I jumped in front of the tentacles. As Sariel turns to notice I see the woman Sariel was talking about. She was a gray skinned, red and black haired woman, wearing a strange outfit.

The woman steps towards me, stared down at me and looks at Sariel.

“Your turn, what shall you do? Disobey your father and become mine, or let her die.” Sariel looks shocked, what’s going on? Oh well I’m tired I’m sure Sariel will wake me up soon. As I close my eyes I hear Sariel shouting.

I taste it before I know what it is. My eyes shoot open and I feel as if I’m rising, I feel knowledge entering my brain. I look at Sariel, she looks scared. I stand up and see the strange woman, before she grabs me.

“I see… Sariel you’ve made your choice? You’d rather you’d both be mine… then let her die? Hmmm, I’ll have to fix that mentality later… but come now we have much to do.” She begins dragging me and Sariel stays on the floor before I see five angels fly towards us.

They all gather around Sariel asking her questions checking if she is okay. Before turning around and shouting at the woman, and me? What did I do?

“Sariel come, let’s go back to heaven the rest of them can finish this. You need to go home, you’re on probation until further notice.” The blonde Angel says, he looks a lot like Sariel, except where she’s short he’s tall. Where’s she’s soft, he’s firm, there are a few more noticeable differences but I don’t have a lot of time to name them before a chain appears around my own and Sariels necks and we plummet down into a dark pit.

Sariel is screaming and so are the Male angels watching this happen. The woman is laughing, and I… I just stay as silent as can be…

We arrive to a large building, something tells me it’s a castle, how do I know that? I look at Sariel who looks to be in pain. I rush to her sign to hold her, as she cries into my chest the woman looks at us and speaks.

“Hello… my name is Roo, as in- the root of all evil, yknow just the works. It’s a pleasure… to meet you. I certain you’re wondering why you’re here? Correct?”

I look at Sariel who looks as if she was going to pass out, and know I have to answer.

“Yes… why are we here. Why have you taken us here? To make us suffer?! Well news flash you’ve hurt the only thing I love! I’m already suffering, so tell me what else do you want?!” I shout at the cruel vixen as loudly as I can.

“Yeesh, temper temper… but I just brought you here because God left, and I need to figure out what he’s up to… so you’re here to take care of this place for me.”

I look at her in shock as she continues.

“- I’ll give you this castle, people to rule over, full control over all the rings in Hell, the ability to send messages to those you want to join you here, and the ability to create as many people as you want.”

She looks at Sariel and smiles, before pulling her from my chest and cradling her.

“You’re God’s favorite daughter, making you my ex-step daughter, and aren’t you just precious. Do you understand what you did up there? You introduced evil into humans, I bet they’re giving Adam a new bride and casting them out. Soon their children will show up here. But… I guess you have a while to prepare for that.”

She sets Sariel down and waits for her to say something.

“Heh… is this a joke- just last night I was in heaven and know I’m here… funny right?” She looks moments away from bursting into tears. The woman doesn’t look entertained in the slightest, if anything she seems sympathetic…

“Poor little lamb, listen up, tell me the names of your greatest friends.” Nevermind I was wrong, the swirls in her eyes begin to make Sariel talk.

“Beelzebub, Ozzie, Mammon, Belphie, and Lilith…”

The woman smirks as letters shoot into the sky, and she begins to leave before she looks at us as if she’s forgot something.

“I almost forgot, you both need a little… makeover.” As she says that, we start screaming and writhing on the ground for what feels like eternity.

“Rise, rise and claim you titles!” The woman- Roo, demands.

As we do I look at Sariel, she looks beautiful… but different. Her blue eyes become red, blue cheeks are now red, even parts of her six wings are now red. Not just that… she’s lost her halo and it has been replaced with horns, and she has a tail now.

As I look at her in shock, Sariel looks back at me in awe. I suppose I’ve had quite the transformation as well. My medium long hair now goes down to my ankles. I have a long black tail, and a pair of Magenta horns.

Roo seems quite pleased but she has to put on the finishing touch.

“I now denounce the name Sariel, you shall now be known as Lucilla. King of Hell, my shadow weaver, and the swallowed star. You Lilith shall be known as the queen of Hell, the first sinner, and the only song manipulator ever known.”

She steps back, and that was the last time me and Sariel- Lucilla… ever saw her.

_______

5 years later

That’s how long it took for everything to happen. That’s how long it took for all of Lucilla’s friends to join us in Hell. That’s how long it took for Lucilla and I to go mad.

What drove us over the edge was Cain murdering his brother, and Adam murdering Cain. It was Cain falling to Hell that drove us mad.

It was then we decided to do something, how fitting we had Adam’s bride eat the apple as we had years ago.

Maybe that’s what made Adam hate me? No, it’s the fact that I have what he wanted, Lucilla in my arms. Well too bad.

Regardless we traveled to earth and convinced Eve to eat the apple, and brought her to Hell with us. She discovers free will, and she truly becomes happy in Hell, with her son.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing, we ran into some company on earth, Lucilla’s ‘family’ they talked and it ended in burned bridges and tears. Oh well they had no place in our lives anyway, just they wait until we have everything together!

We’re almost there! We transformed an Imp into the embodiment of Wrath and named him Satan we allowed him to rule over the wrath ring. We also transformed a disfigured succubus who was being bullied into the ruler of Envy. Lucilla’s friends all rule over their respective rings, now there’s only two problems.

The problem of an heir, which Lulu searching for ways to fix.Our other issue is our largest issue, how to design Hell’s hierarchy and architecture in the pride ring. Which is my task. Yippee…

Just those angels wait, we’ll bring them a fight they’ll never forget. That’s what I thought anyway before I wised up, and everything changed.

Chapter Text

I put some lube on my hands, and I rub them together. I look down at the sobbing mess below me, panting, crying. Gosh I love how she looks when she cries.

I could at any moment speed it up, but how could I. How could I when she looks up at me like that, like I’m the center of her world, how could I. So I watch, her quickly ascending breaths, and those big tears falling from those perfect doe eyes.

“Lilith~ hurry up!”

Oh I love my little king, I’d bend the world to her whims, but not right now. Right now I want to see her cry and scream until all she knows is my name.

I take lubed hands and rub them on a relatively small dildo in my hand. Small and pink, a button for rotation, no larger than maybe 5 inches? I shove that pretty pink dildo into that winking yellow hole, and I’m instantly rewarded with a squeal.

“Eughhh- Lili~ right there~”

“C’mon babe, don’t break just yet, I gotta do something~”

How could she think that was all I was going to do, I haven’t even touched that pretty pink entrance. I spread her legs just a little bit farther, and lower my head. I get a perfect view of that perfect sight.

So pink and clean, how can I ruin that. I bring my face closer and lick the little button in one clean stroke. Taste sweet, sweet as Lucilla’s kisses.

I need more, that wasn’t enough. I take my mouth and shove my tongue as far as I can manage it through her pretty passage. I hear her moans getting louder, at this rate she might not even remember my name when I’m done.

I decide to ramp it up even more, turning the rotations in the dildo up higher than before, almost to the max setting.

I keep working my tongue until I’m rewarded by the sweet gates of happiness that explode on my tongue. That’s Lucilla, a squirter.

I remove my tongue, and pull out the dildo from her prominent behind. I stand up and put our little ‘toys’ away for right now, and take my place on the bed resting by her side.

I hear all of her panting, not to mention her sweet words of nothing.

“That was so- amazing. No it was better than that!”

There it is, there’s the joy she brings me. She wasn’t the light and joy bringer for nothing, all it takes is one word from her, maybe even less.

“Calm down my love~ we have all the time in the world.”

She smiles at me, and sits up only to lay her face down into my chest. One leg on either side of me, face buried into my mounds of flesh, and arms around my neck. I hear her mumble out a drawn out-

“Love you.”

“I love you more, my love.”

And I do, she’s my everything, she saved my life, how could I not love her. I pick her up and begin carrying my sleepy lover to our office, I wish we could go to bed, but we have something to do.

I take a seat on our chair and she decides to keep her face firmly planted in my chest. Then we get an emergency call from Ozzie.

Ozzie is one of Lucilla’s oldest friends, back from when she was still Sariel. I thought about declining the call, but this is Ozzie, so Lucilla obviously had to pick up.

I never cared for Asmodeus, he was great at his job, but he was too attached to Lucilla, almost obsessively clingy. He also never cared for me, but I rarely say anything because talking about it upsets Lucilla, and I hate making her upset.

“Hi Lulu~ I booked us, the sins, and Lilith… a reservation at one of my newer joints!”

“Oh my, Ozzie that sounds amazing! I can’t wait, don’t forget to tell me the date, and tell Bee, so she can inform everyone!”

“Oh cmon Lu what is this amateur hour? I told Bee first.”

“Before me? Oh Ozz I’m shocked,” She says dramatically, looking down as if she was about to cry.

“Sorry Lu, had to inform the best first, I should be going now. But we’re still on for our regular bard diving on Sunday, right?”

“Oh I wouldn’t miss that for the world! See you Ozz.”

“See you Sunday Lulu~”

Finally, that giant rooster hung up. I’m still upset that he takes Lucilla every Sunday with Bee, to disrespect Sunday services. Asmodeus came up with it, apparently in Heaven they all used to go to church, him, Lucilla, Belhaghor, Bee, and Mammon.

Now days Mammon spends Sundays sleeping and eating instead. But Mammon doesn’t forget to come bother us on Fridays when he visits us while checking on his flings.

While Belphie spends almost every day by herself and her studies. Except for when Lucilla invites her over to discuss the production on the solution to create a child between me and Lucilla, which usually tends to happen on Saturdays.

Belphie and Bee are the two sins I’m closest with, they see Lucilla as a sister, and me as an in-law of sorts. So they slightly approve of me.

Today is our only night we can spend together this week, due to planned meetings with the overlords, sins, hangout events, and the meeting with Heaven.

When is that meeting with Heaven?

“Hey Lucilla do you remember when that meeting with Heaven is?”

“I don’t know, Thursday, I think?”

I look at my perfect little lover in absolute horror.

“Lucilla today IS Wednesday!”

“Oh shit…”

“You can say that again…”

Oh boy it’s about to be a long stressful night…

_____________

Michael’s POV

Today’s the day, I get to see Sari. I haven’t seen her in four years as of two months ago…

I’ve truly missed my darling little sister, during our last meeting I had to watch her be taken away. But now! I can bring her back!

I look beside me, at Azrael, he’s excited too. We’ve all missed Sariel, and we haven’t been able to wake father to ask for guidance. In the time he’s been asleep the Elders have become more daring.

Of course it only takes one of my brothers attending one of their trials to straighten them out. All of them except for one, Sera.

She was a snot nosed brat not too long ago. But Sariel’s fall changed that. From what I’ve seen, she’s taken a lot of responsibility in the courts, and has been recommended as head seraphim by nearly all of the elders.

Right now I couldn’t care less, it’s finally time to gather the rest of my brothers to go down to Hell for the meeting.

We all agreed on not having the meeting in Heaven, to avoid the elders trying to pass judgment where they shouldn’t. We wouldn’t want harm to befall them, now would we?

“Michael, are you ready? We have to be going.” Says our oldest brother, Raphael. We tend to depend on him a lot in the absence of our father.

“Of course I’m ready, open the portal.”

Despite my cool exterior I am excited to see my darling twin and bring her home. I’ve missed her, and I’ll take delight in acting as her hero.

How could I have known what the meeting would contain?
__________

Lucilla’s POV

I look at the sky waiting for the imminent doom, that is my brothers. Despite how it sounds, this time away from my brothers has been relaxing.

In Heaven, one of my brothers almost always had to be around me, or I had to be right next to my father. I loved being around my father the most because atleast he allowed me to do something.

With my brothers all I did in their words was make their lives brighter. But I wanted to do more than sit in their work spaces, which made them call me a dreamer. I was, but my dreams weren’t for fun, they were for freedom.

Snapping me out of my thoughts was the unmistakeable sound of a portal opening. Portals sounded like a speaker going near a microphone to create that screeching noise.

Lilith took a step closer to me as we saw five- six? But that’s not father that’s-

“What’s up bitches!”

Adam…

Our lovely angelic guests descended down with Raphael leading in the front, and the rest falling behind. Just as I move to bring them in, I’m interrupted, by a hug.

“Sariel… I missed you…”

Michael… my twin brother, my protector, someone created to defend me perfectly is crying? I look behind him and all of my other brothers are as well, even my energetic brother Gabriel, and stoic brother Raphael.

The only people not crying are Lilith and Adam, who are to busy glaring at eachother. Or- more like Adam is glaring at Lilith, who is holding my waist despite my brothers own hold on me, and smirking.

My attention snaps back as I hear something I must have misheard. So I talk to my twin brother, who finally got a hold of himself. After getting myself out of his grip first, of course.

“Michael, I think I misheard… repeat that.”

“Sariel, I said, let’s go back.”

There he is using that name, I haven’t gone by that name in years.

“Sariel, let’s go back to Heaven, we can fix all of this.”

He says pointing at me, but I know that he’s talking about my look, my red eyes, my recently cut hair, my teeth, my cheeks, outfit, everything that make me, me.

“Cmon let’s go Sariel!”

He says, pulling me towards my other brothers. Just then I see Adam smirk at Lilith, my gosh! Lilith! I look at her and she looks shocked, her grip around me even loosens, allowing Michael to pull me slightly.

I have to say something!

“No, I’m not going.”

“Wh-what…”

“And my names not Sariel, it’s Lucilla!”

That’s when it starts, the great Celestial Debate. Or that’s what Heaven calls it due to how upset my brothers were when they went back to Heaven.

But what really happened was just an argument between me and my brothers. My brothers weren’t taking me seriously, that was until I said something that made them so upset, that they went back to Heaven that upset.

“No! I hate this! I hate all of you patronizing me, I hate you! I HATE YOU!”

In a fit of rage, I told my brothers I hated them, and they left almost immediately. All except for Adam who stayed a little bit longer to talk to me.

“Is this, no, is SHE really worth this! Worth you cutting ties with Heaven, with me?”

I look at him and I say the one phrase he didn’t want to hear.

“Yes.”

I looks at me, shocked, but when I look at Lilith, who is looking at me with pure unadulterated love in her eyes, I know I made the right choice.

“I- I see… have a nice life Sari- Lucilla.”

He begins to fly back to the portal before he turns to look at Lilith.

“You were the lucky one, I wish I would’ve gone with Lucilla all those years ago… I hate you Lilith, I hate that you got the life with the one I truly wanted. But I’ll take joy in the fact you’ll eventually be left behind, and I’ll be there when you are!”

That was the last time I talked to him in years. Despite the time, I find myself wondering if I made the right choice. Does it even really matter?
___________

Still Lucilla’s POV just a decent time skip in between

Oh my gosh! I have to tell Lilith.

I found the answer! I run to our office to tell Lilith how I found the answer to our heirship issue. But in the space between the office and the first floor alchemy room I’m in with Belphie, I end up bumping into someone.

“Ughhh, please watch where you’re-“

The red haired sinner looks up at me, an I see the red hot blush appear on his face. But I kindly ignore it.

“I’m sorry sir, I did not mean to bump into one of my guards, my mistake.”

I say, I’m not blaming the sinner at all, trying to show that I won’t punish him for touching me, despite the recent decree of immediate death for all those who touch me.

It was a law passed after a failed assassination attempt from a greedy demon, who was promptly… removed.

My own thought blinded me from watching the male sinner get down on one knee, smile on his face, speak yo me.

“No it was my fault my king, I, Alastor, humbly…-“

He flashes a grin at me and catch sight of a perfect beauty mark.

“-beg for you forgiveness my liege.”

I look at the male sinner and damn everything, I stutter.

“Yo- You’re forgiven.”

I didn’t even mean to stutter at the attractive sinner, how could I have known it would destroy my life. Why is that, why because of Lilith watching this unfold in petty jealousy.

What’s the worst that could happen?

Chapter Text

Lilith’s POV

It’s been years since the fall and ALOT has changed. We’ve learned how to manipulate the land, with Lucilla’s magic of course, we gained followers, our buildings have become much better, everything is better! So why is Hell so empty…

I’ve dealt with loneliness before, hell I experienced it daily with Adam! But with Lucilla, well this is a first, she’s just been so busy, between her meetings, parties, galas, and hangouts with the sins. I just… feel so alone.

Despite Lucilla’s and my own past together, it’s as if we’re drifting apart! I cannot let that happen, Lucilla is my everything! But what can I do? I can’t stalk her.

…

“Okay here I go!” I say to myself as I look to my side where I find no trace of Lucilla anywhere. I’m actually going to do it, I’m going to follow the King of Hell. It’s insane! I mean, I already know I won’t be able to keep up, so tell me how I’m seeing this!

Let’s rewind!

I get ready for today, I dress myself in my dark purple dress then admire myself in the mirror. Something missing though? What could it be? I know! What about a nice tight corset to accentuate my perfect figure.

I remove my skin tight dress and put a corset on to accentuate my perfect figure. All that’s left to do is add the finishing touches.

I eye my pearl jewelry set, then my gold jewelry set, decisions decisions. In the end I decide to wear my golden jewelry set with rubies, but I decide to also wear my crown.

It’s a golden crown with cursed diamonds adorning it. To tie my look together I add a pair of black lace gloves. Now that my look is decided I head to Lucilla.

Today Lucilla is meeting with Belphagor to deal with the issue of an heir but as I walk I hear my dear Lucilla apologizing to a sinner?

I make eye contact with the sinner, and the entire time that smile doesn’t leave his face! Luckily Lucilla departs to find me, I inconspicuously bump into her on ‘accident.’

“Sorry I- Lilith!”

“Hi love, what has you so energetic today?”

Immediately I’m given a kiss, then another, followed by another.

“Love not that I’m not enjoying your affection, but is there a reason for the increase?”

“Me and Belphie solved!”

“Solved what…?” I ask, daring to hope she solved our number one issue!

“The issue of an heir!”

Before she can even get another sentence out, I lift her up and spin her around.

“You mean- I- You- how?”

With that stuttered out sentence from me, I mentally slap myself before daring to rephrase my sentence, which isn’t even a sentence, just an excited word.

“How?!”

And with that question, a bright yellow blush appears on Lucilla’s face.

“Well…”

“Well? My love, my soul, tell me! This is all we’ve ever wanted, tell me please?” Is what I say, but what I would like to say is this is what could fix our relationship, the joy of parenthood would bring us closer together. I would never have to worry about my marriage again.

But it’s not just about my marriage, maybe I would enjoy seeing a child with my voice, Luci’s personality, my style, fine! I’d love to see that but could you blame me? I know I’m an attractive woman, combine that with a being as gorgeous as Luci? I assume I’ll find a beauty so divine it could put other angels to shame!

I don’t think our child could ever pass Luci in terms of beauty, I mean Luci was created to be beautiful. But maybe this child could be a close second.

As I’m pushed down the rabbit hole Lucilla opens her pretty mouth once more, “You see… it’s very theoretical right now, but the idea is that since I retained my creation abilities, I could create a child out of blood and magic. Since the baby would have angelic blood I would have to carry the baby to term, but I don’t think I would be pregnant for nine months, maybe a few weeks? A month maybe?”

“That’s amazing! Can we do it right now?” I ask excitedly, because finally, FINALLY, we can have the little family of our dreams!

“Lili I don’t know if it will work… but we can try. I mean- if you want to! I don’t want you to be disappointed if it doesn’t work…”

“Lucilla, I could never be disappointed in you, I love you.” I say smoothly before adding, “and I want to have this baby, let’s go try right now!”

“Okay!”
__________

Time skip!

Right now we’re in a hospital room. Not a public one, a private room in the palace. Luci is getting a check up done by Belphagor.

“Congratulations you two, Lucilla’s pregnant. I’ll leave you two alone to let it REALLY sink in!”

We wait for Belphie to leave, no offense to Belphie, we love Belphie, but this is an intimate moment, before I kiss Luci deeply.

“We did it… we really did it… we’re going to be parents Lili!”

“I know…” I say stupidly, but instead of excitement I feel worried, but Luci, the oh so attentive spouse, notices my face almost immediately.

“Hey what’s wrong? Aren’t you happy?” She questions with a fearful expression.

“Of course I am but will I really be a good parent? I mean I’m not the easiest person to get along with?”

“It’s not about getting along with a child, it’s about guiding them and loving them! And I know we’ll do great!”

“You’re right…”

“I know!” Lucilla says with that cocky smile she has when she’s correcting someone. “Now… let’s work on informing the sins!”

“Okay!” I say excitedly, because I can’t wait to gloat in front of that cocky rooster!

But five calls later and a whole lot of tears, me and Luci are sitting together with Belphie examining how long this pregnancy will take.

“Lili, Luci, don’t freak out! But it looks like this pregnancy will only last a few weeks.”

“Belphie! We already knew that!” Lucilla says laughing because, yes, we already knew that.

“Luci, Lili, you’re already two weeks along, meaning you’re having this baby in about 2 to 3 weeks.”

“What!” Me and Luci scream in horror, that’s barely enough time to pick a name and a few outfits, we still have to announce the pregnancy to Hell!

“Lili!” Luci says in tears, “Can you set up a live filmed gala up quickly please?! If you do I can set the nursery up quickly using magic and a little bit of help from the Sins. Pretty please?”

“Okay, I’ll have this Gala set up by Friday, every noble, Sin, overlord, and official, as well as reporters will be invited!” I say running off before turning around and running back quickly, “I love you, bye!” I say before finally leaving.

“I love you too! Belphie call Beel, Levi, and Ozzie to decorate the nursery. Tell Mammon to prepare baby entertainment toys, I know he has some from all of the businesses he’s in! And then tell Satan to prepare guards for that Gala, no time to waste! I’m going to go pick baby clothes!”
__________

Three weeks pass in a blur, one big busy blur. But luckily we have almost everything prepared. The only thing not chosen is a name, it seems we overlooked that detail…

The issue is… me and Lucilla can’t agree on a name! I love Lucilla but does she have to be so stubborn?!

“Lili! I’m telling you that we should name her with name that starts with an L.”

“Luci, I think we should name her Maize, it’s a great, powerful name!”

“No! No! No! Can’t you atleast meet me in the middle?”

“Only if you can agree not to start our babies name with an L!”

“Fine! Than what about…? Charlie!”

“Charlie?” I ponder the name for a moment, “How about Charlotte, but Charlie for short?”

“But- you know what? Deal!” We decide to shake one it, tommorow is the day!

That’s right tommorow is the due date of our baby, Princess Charlie Morningstar!

Chapter Text

Lilith’s Pov

It’s been a week since Charlie’s birth, our beautiful baby girl, Charlotte Paradise Magne. She’s the cutest baby I’ve ever seen, despite the fact I haven’t seen many babies…

Lucilla still hasn’t fully healed despite her accelerated healing abilities, I’m worried there’s something wrong with her.

Even though I’m surrounded by a beautiful wife, my new baby, and support systems, I’m stressed! By what you might ask? Nothing other than the guards we have stationed!

These sinners don’t know the first thing about loyalty! I’m so scared, I just got my family, I don’t want to lose it… So I’ve been tinkering with an idea.

Contracts, but no ordinary contract! This contract would bind more than just some money. This contract would allow one to own souls, for a bargain of course.

I came up with this idea while thinking of ways to protect my family. My plan is simple, I’ll choose a hand full of sinners, make a contract with them, and set the terms to my favor and my wife’s protection in mind.

The down side to this is I would need Lucilla’s magic to set such a thing in motion, and she’s been so out of it. She can’t hold down food, she’s sleeping a lot more, and she’s acting… depressed? No that’s not the right word for what I’m seeing, she’s just so distant, she’s right next to me but it feels as if she’s across the ocean.

I wonder is it something I’m doing wrong? Maybe she needs more support! I’ll help her, but first I need her to use a little magic for this plan of mine.

With my goal in route, I head to Charlie’s nursery where I can find Lucilla more often than not. The room is a neutral color of red and white, resembling a circus. The stuffed animals also follow a circus theme with elephants, and tigers, but the biggest plushie is that of a duck with a top hat.

I smile at the thought of finding my wife with her daughter, my daughter, OUR daughter. On that train of thought I arrive even quicker to the door.

The door is black, and made of a strong magic resistant metal, complete opposite of what lies behind it. I open said door and take a step inside and find Lucilla in a rocking chair with a far off look, while rocking Charlie.

Charlie has her hair slightly curled, which isn’t completely normal for a week old baby. Belphagor and I think it’s because of her angelic heritage that she’s growing faster.

Charlie is wearing a small pink onesie with a green apple in the middle. Lucilla hated green apples, “so tacky!” She would say, “nothing like red apples!” And I’d always agree with her.

I remove Charlie from Lucilla’s arms and Lucilla snaps out of her daze, and her arms clamp around Charlie. Then she sees me and loosens her grip,

“Sorry Lili…”

I smile placatingly at her, and before I can comfort her, Charlie starts wailing, and the nanny comes running to soothe her. Lucilla looks ready to jump in, so I pull her into a kiss and lead her out of the room.

“Luci are you doing okay? You know you can tell me anything, I’ll listen!”

Lucilla sends me a small smile, “Yeah I know, I just feel like I’m not doing anything right, I mean, I love Charlie but…”

“But?” I question pushing for an answer.

“I can’t connect with her, I feel like she’s not real, or… like she’s someone elses child, and I feel horrible about it!” She cries, big fat tears falling from her previously blue eyes, “What do I do Lili? Please tell me…”

“My love…” I think for a moment, how can I help her, my love, my freedom, the mother of my child, my Lucilla…

I take a deep breath and I utter some words that I feel will break me, “Maybe… you need to get away…”

I see Lucilla’s eyes widen and more tears threaten to spill out.

“Not permanently, like a vacation, just you, some maids, guards, and cooks, go down to the lust or gluttony ring, and relax.”

“Could I really do that… I think I need a break, but would you be okay?”

“Of course, you need this, but before you go, could you do something for me?”

“Anything!” Lucilla exclaims and I know she means it, so I hand her a ball, a crystal ball.

“I have a project I’d like to complete, but I need your magic to do so, could you channel some magic into it please?”

“I… okay I guess, but why?”

“Just for a project, my love!”

She blinks at me and then grips the ball, sending a golden light into the crystal ball, making it resemble pure light.

“There! I’ll start packing, and say bye to Charlie, and-“

I kiss Lucilla and speak,

“I love you,” I say before smiling adoringly at her.

“I love you too.”

“Bye” I say clutching the ball and walking away.

_______________________________________________

Hallway (still Lilith’s POV)

It’s been about a day since Lucilla left, and I started creating contracts, first with the maids, then butlers and cooks, and now the guards.

I have most of the staff under a contract currently, I’m just missing a few sinners. The next one on my list is a monsieur Alastor, the radio demon.

I’ve seen a few of his works while he was alive, splendid job in all regards. I study what I have on his chart, which is little to nothing but I power on.

“My queen.” The sinner catches me by surprise, he’s quite light on his feet, doesn’t seem to be particularly strong,

Hmmm

Strong. Strength! I can offer him strength! What could a sinner want more than power? I smile knowingly, thinking about how easy this will be.

“Alastor, sit, please sit.”

“I’d rather stand your majesty, but thankyou for the kind offer!”

To most people that would have seemed polite, but not to someone as trained as me. That was a form of disrespect, to lift his head higher than mine! How impertinent! I inwardly curse him but keep a smile on my face. I haven’t forgotten the blush I saw on his his face when speaking to Lucilla!

“Sit, I implore you…” I say sweetly, but to anyone with a brain could tell it was an order.

“Hahaha why of course!” The deer demon says coyly, almost knowingly.

“Now I’m sure you know why you’re here, I’d like to make a contract.”

“A contract? Color me intrigued, about what might I ask?”

“For my personal peace of mind, but I assure you that you yourself would receive something valuable in return.”

“Like what?”

“Power, as much power as a sinner such as yourself could require or wish for.”

He smiles, “And what would you receive, might I add?”

“You would swear loyalty, to me and whomever I asked for you to, such as my wife and daughter. Do we have a deal?”

“Why of course!” I can almost tell what he’s thinking, too easy.

I offer my hand, and he shakes it, gotcha. A green light appears, and I feel myself absorb his soul.

“What…”

“Listen sinner, you’ve given me your soul and you will do as I say from now on, or else-“ As I almost finish my threat I hear a voice.

“Lili…”

“Lucilla,” inwardly I curse, this would be one long conversation.

I command the radio demon to leave and as he tries to refuse his body is forced to obey.

“The tyranny of human souls… hah! Is this the project you were talking about?!” Lucilla shouts at me angrily!

“Lucilla it was for our family, me, Charlie, you-“

“DON’T YOU DARE LIE TO ME THIS WAS FOR YOUR GREED AND HOW… how could you? You’re not who I thought you were… the Lilith I knew would never… I don’t even know you anymore…” She turns around and storms off.

“Lucilla…” I wish I would’ve screamed out for her, but I didn’t.

After that nothing was the same, Lucilla remained in the palace occasionally but she took up residence in the Gluttony ring as well. The only reason she came to the palace was for Charlie, to make her think we were a happy family.

That means Charlie wasn’t aware when we divorced, or were thought of to be divorced… And after many years I received a letter from Adam, to stay in Heaven while Lucilla calmed down.

I knew what it really was, Adam was hoping Lucilla would forget about me, but still took the bait, hoping time is what Lucilla needed. Charlie was the equivalent of 16 in human years at that point, and I sent her to live with Lucilla full time.

I also decided to take my pet, Alastor, I’m not the kindest to him, how could I be? He ruined my marriage! But I was impressed with him, what he managed to do with his powers and the deals he made.

He stayed by my side until I caught wind of my daughter’s plan, and I sent him down to help. Maybe this will help me get Lucilla back…

End of Prologue

Chapter Text

No one’s POV

“hnnng… hnng… hnnng… There we go…”

Vaggie and Lucilla make eye contact and share a questioning look. Finally Lucilla decides to speak,

“Charlie, honey, what for the love of everything sinful are you doing?” Lucilla questions, wearing a puzzled look.

“Mom I’m just getting ready for all the sinners that will join us here! We can’t have them sleep in a dirty room now can we?”

“I dun know toots~ maybe dats what day need. A night on da ground.”

Finally Vaggie steps forward to address Angel dust,

“That’s enough Angel.”

“Geez what da heck is ya problem?”

As the two start to bicker, Charlie chews on her sleeve. She’s wearing a red and white suit. It’s a little tight fitting, but it makes her look professional and it’s actually quite comfortable.

The outfit also has a small red and gold apple logo on the bottom left corner, it a brand logo from Lucilla’s handmade clothes. But Lucilla doesn’t usually design clothes, but she did it for Charlie, hell she made one for everyone in the hotel!

Everyone is wearing some version of the red and white outfit. Some are a little bit shorter than what Lucilla is used to making. But she powered through and let her hands work.

As Charlie continues to chew on her sleeve, her mom’s phone goes off.

“Hello? Yes. Okay, we’ll be there shortly. Alright. Bye”

Charlie looks over curiously, and Lucilla laughs before exclaiming, I got you a commercial!”

Charlie begins to tear up, “Mom you don’t have to do so much for us…”

And to be fair, Charlie was valid to feel that way, Lucilla had done a lot for the Hotel, that includes building it. She designed it too, taking the liberty to theme it around apples, having a large golden apple statue in the middle of the hotel.

While dinners knew about this hotel, they didn’t know what the apple statue could do. Lucilla had got all of the sins to put magic into it, to create a shield around the hotel.

She did this in fear of the exterminations, a horrible thing that Lilith had agreed to. No one spoke of Lilith to Lucilla, it always put her in a bad mood for the rest of the day, and possibly the week.

Now let’s snap back to the mother daughter duo,

“But I wanted to!”

“Okay thankyou mom, when’s the commercial?”

“Umm it’s in about 5 minutes, give or take?”

“5 MINUTES?!”

“Yes?” Shocked as Charlie just gripped her shoulders.

“Shit I got a run, to Secure a happy day in~”

“Charlie come back I’ll just teleport you.”

“Oh, okay.” Charlie says a little disappointedly.

Lucilla removes a glove and takes one finger in a up down motion and opens a portal straight to Katie Kill Joy. Charlie sweats nervously before asking,

“Can you come with me? Please mom”

Lucilla sends a knowing smile.

“Of course I can!”

The mother and daughter hold hands and step through the portal.

“Not right now Tom!”

“Hello?” Says Lucilla

“What the hell do you-“ Says Katie before dropping her mug and changing her tune quickly,

“Hello your majesty I’m so pleased to meet you! Take a seat please!”

Lucilla pulls out chair and sits down. Lucilla motions for Charlie to do the same, which she does.

“I’m here for that commercial I need for my daughter, are your camera people ready?”

“Yes, of course my queen, TOM, GET THE CAMERAS ROLLING ALREADY! Apologies for the wait!”

“It’s no problem dear.”

Katie Kill Joy blushes, who wouldn’t? This is the queen of hell, the most beautiful being in existence. But Charlie sees that blush and glares.

She has always wanted her parents to get back together, it’s childish, she knows, but she wants a whole family. Despite being a princess, she was teased for having split parents and wished for a whole family.

“Katie the cameras about to start rolling,” the little sinner says, Tom, or something.

“Okay honey are you ready?”

Charlie looks at her mom and nods her head

“Ready 3, 2,” the pause between the two and the one feel like the longest thing ever. A million thoughts go through Charlie’s mind.

“1!” And do Charlie starts her spew, to be honest, it was a train wreck!

But as the caring mother Lucilla is, she steps in at the last 10ish seconds of the commercial,

“Come down to the sweetest hotel in the ring, and meet the only queen of hell. Accepting up to 30 guests! Hope to see you here apple slices~” at the end Lucilla blows the camera a kiss.

“And cut!”

“Okay Charlie it’s done! Let’s go back to the hotel now.”

“Alright mom…”

Charlie and Lucilla step through the portal and are bombarded by Vaggie and Angel who are holding a glowing scroll. Lucilla’s eyes widen and grabs the scroll quickly and reads aloud,

“Dear Sariel Lucilla Heylel Magne Morningstar, your presence has been asked for by the council at an undisclosed location today when the clock hits 5. Please also bring one Charlotte Morningstar, the discussion will include talk of the exterminations…”

Lucilla pauses before continuing,

“From the council, and your older brothers,”

Dickmaster was also written on the scroll, but was crossed off.

“Well… Charlie looks like you’re about to meet the rest of your family.”

Just as the words slip from Lucilla’s mouth, the door is knocked. Charlie rushes to the door in hope to avoid this conversation. She opens the door and her eyes widen before she closes the door.

“Hey- mom, Vaggie… the radio demons at the door…”

Vaggie and Angels eyes widen and Lucilla gives a small smile and walks up to open the door.

“Hello Alastor…”

Alastors eyes widen before his face shifts back to normal, excluding some blush on his face, “Hello my queen.” Alastor kneels down and kisses Lucilla’s hand

“Mom?”

Lucilla looks back at her and gives her a sympathetic smile and nods her head ever so slightly.

“Pack your bags Charlie, we’re going to a meeting and he’s coming with us!”

“Mom… we don’t even know the location yet…”

“Still! Get ready, also let’s bring Dangle Rudy and Maggie too!”

“It’s Angel Dust/Vaggie!”

“Oh… right… heh”

Chapter Text

“Okay Sweetheart this is your chance! Your chance to get your plan out there,” Lucilla’s arm shoots up, “to take your place in the grand scheme!”

She looks down at Charlie who seems nervous,

“But no pressure!”

Angel Dust shoots up and exclaims, “Tons of pressure toots, we’re meetin’ angels, and I don’t wanna be more dead than I already am!”

Lucilla sends a warning glare in his direction.

“… Don’t worry it’ll be fine…” he says and as soon as Lucilla looks away he adds, “hopefully…”

Lucilla eyes dart back to him as quickly as they left

“Real nice.” She looks back at Charlie, “ It will be okay… I’ll be there, and I won’t let anything happen.”

“Thanks mom… I don’t know what I’d do without you…” Charlie leans in to hug Lucilla.

“I could say the same to you…” Lucilla leans in to the hug.

Vaggie joins in the hug, hugging Charlie’s back.

“It’s going to be fine hun…”

Lucilla backs away from the hug and turns to Alastor.

“I haven’t seen you in a while. What brings you back here, it couldn’t be to see little old me, could it?” Lucilla say with a certain flirtatious air to it.

Alastor kneels and kisses her hand, “Would never dream of it your Majesty…”

“Glad to see you haven’t changed.”

Lucifer looks at him again, but a little more serious this time.

“But seriously, why are you here?”

“Well… originally I was here to offer your daughter my assistance, but seeing as you’re here, it’s not that necessary anymore.”

Charlie perks up, “Actually we could use more sinner opinions around the hotel!”

Alastor looks at her and blinks, “I’ll admit… it’s not what I expected… but I’ll take it.”

Lucilla decides to chip in, “You could also add a few more touches to the hotel.”

“Splendid idea your Majesty!” He magics up a bar a few tables in a corner.

“Woah!” Angel exclaims, “This is my kind of setup!”

Vaggie grabs him and turns to Alastor, “This is not at all what would help with redemption! I’ve been silent because you offered to help and her Majesty was speaking to you, but this is crazy!”

“Babe… calm down…”

Vaggie turns to look at Charlie, “I just can’t… I hate seeing him turn this place into another spot for sinning!”

“Vaggie, I get it… but he’s trying to help! Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt.”

“Fine!”

Alastor looks at the two, “Now that that’s over I’ll just…”

*BAM*

“What the Hell!”

“Hello Husker! I have a request for you!” Alastor pause before pointing at the bar, “Man the bar!”

“I was about to win big! Do you think I’m some kind of clown!”

Alastor smirks, ”Maybe!”

“You fucking prick…”

“Watch the language my friend! We’re in the presence of royalty!”

“I already knew that! We’re in that Blonde princess’s hotel right now!” Husk looks at her, “Hey by the way.”

Charlie shoots him a small wave

“I don’t mean her my friend.” He steps aside and reveals Lucilla

“Holy shit…”

“Hi… Dusker was it?”

“Husk, but… Nevermind! Pleased to meet you your Majesty!”

“Right…”

Lucilla promptly walks away to Charlie.

“Okay sweetheart, we need to decide on clothing! I was thinking we could all match! Usually I would get the clothes tailored but we only have a few hours…”

“Yes um…”

Lucilla smiles at her, “How bout I just whip up a few red outfits and checker design coats. It would fit the vibe of the Pride ring and it’s easy enough to design.”

“Yeah! Mom you’re such a life savor!”

“Okay sweetheart, we have to get started now though… we do have only a few hours. And I will have to tailor the outfits myself. With a little bit of magic!”

“Alright mom,” Charlie walks back to the group and exclaims, “Everyone line up! Mom’s giving us outfits for the meeting!”

“Princess, would you mind if my dear friend Husker came along as well?”

“Of course he can!” Charlie pauses, “Mom that’s okay right?”

“Of course Baby!” Lucilla plants a kiss on her forehead

Charlie looks back to the crowd, “Okay everyone line up!”

Just looks at everyone getting in line, “What fucking meeting? What the fuck is going on!?”

Alastor looks at him and begins laughing slowly, so slowly it sounded fake…

“Worry about that on your own time, we have clothes to be prepped for!”
