Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Stepping through the portal, Lilith created with a snap of her fingers. Familiarity crawled over my flesh as waves of ease sank into my bones. I almost tumbled to my knees as I emerged on the other side the moment we materialized.

"Welcome to the Citadel… I\'m still working on the name." Lilith cheerfully said in what appeared to be her palace walls.

"You two catch up. I\'m going to pay my respects." Ariel said, catching me off guard for a second.

"Pay your respects to who?"

She looked at me like I was the lowest trash and sighed in utter defeat. " The Abyss Arsene. My Father\'s Little Sister. She is an entity that ought to be respected, don\'t you think?"

"I had a stone statue constructed of myself wearing a mask," Lilith interjected, raising her hand quite happily. It was the first time I\'d ever seen her so… joyful. My God, she was like a different person entirely.

"See you later then," Ariel said, taking her leave. She waved us off.

"Shall we—" Whirling me around, Lilith\'s stary eyes shimmered as we soared into the air. She pulled me by my wrist through her halls, pointing at the various objects she\'d collected from all over the Abyss.

Lilith\'s palace was quite extravagant. It wasn\'t crafted out of gold or silver as I had seen before, but rather, it was molded out of a strange stone that allowed one to cycle their Qi ten times the rate of a genius.

Each painting seemed to contain complex laws alongside techniques that stabbed at my soul the longer I stared. Shit, even the various vases seemed to carry a strange power that premonition warned me not to disturb.

I found myself lost in the complexity of Lilith\'s castle, which seemed like a world of itself. And in an hour, we found ourselves within the servant\'s quarter before I finally spoke: " Show me your room."

\'OH!!!!" A maid yelped with a deep blush.

"It\'s his highness!"

"OMG!"

"He\'s so cute!"

"More like Sexy! No wonder Her Majesty keeps him on a tight leash!"

"So he\'s the sperm donor!"

"Mr. Donor, we love you!"

Hearing the various maids going off with gossip, I almost fell face first: Did these bitches really just call me a sperm donor?

"Sorry," Lilith whispered in my ear: "It\'s just no one aside from a few has ever seen you."

"Ah! Forgive us, your Highness!" The dozen or so maids quickly said, catching themselves as they fell one by one to their knees, their heads finding their rightful place against the floor.

"Speak to the Head Maid for punishment." Lilith coldly said. "If you wish to gossip, do it when we are not around."

Resisting the urge to wink at all these beauties whose beauty was enough to put my cock in an early grave, Lilith pulled me away from the Servants Quarters. We found ourselves within the Imperial Garden being tended to by… dark haired woman with immaculate red eyes and a smile as warm as the sun.

"Vita~" Lilith sang, soaring into her embrace. She quickly pointed at me. "Look who I brought!"

"Do I smell Tras—" Pausing the moment her eyes swayed to mine, I frowned, noticing the look of astonishment that her staggering backward. "You… How?"

"The sweetness," I said, not knowing what she was talking about. I must have gotten even more handsome. It will seem I might have to return to using a mask. Has my sexiness reached a level without equal?

"Get rid of that expression… it\'s disgusting," Vita said, and for the first time, I heard respect in her voice.

My eyes practically popped: \' Bullshit! Lilith, I think Vita got a tumor!"

"She\'s merely smitten by my Sene\'s unparalleled, majestic, unequal handsomeness." My wife addressed, nodding away. She smiled cheekily: "Speak your mind, my loyal duke."

Vita\'s expression practically turned bright red as she coughed into her palm. " He just smells better… he\'s still trash, though." She muttered, turning the other way. But even a child could tell she was lying.

"A real-life Tsundere… Dear Abyss, Yes!"

First, the Lilith, the Yandere, now a sexy Tsundere. Is my luck immaculate, or am I just unlucky?

"Hehe."

"So, is Your Highness giving Arsene a tour of the Abyssal Palace?"

Lilith nodded, turning to me. " I have, but he seems too lax."

\'Oh? Why\'d you say that?"

"Oh, Sene." Lilith lamented. " You have gotten quite arrogant. YOu are standing in probably one of the strongest realms to exist. But you are not trying to sense past your current perception. Spread your divine sense and try to comprehend this Abyss. Every maid, butler, cook, and soldier within my palace are Fell Gods."

My mind went blank for a moment at her words: Fell Gods?

"She\'s right." Vita said, snorting in a typical Tsundere fashion: "When I created this world, I used about half of my knowledge to build the Palace." She said, eyeing the star above my head with a hint of reverence I don\'t think I\'d even dream of present in her tone.

\'This is probably the best outcome,\' Lilith\'s soul whispered to me. \'She doesn\'t like you, but I\'m sure she\'ll at least respect you.\'

But is that enough for me… Hmmm. I need to scheme. I need to… ah, yes. Vesyrn. I\'ll use my son.

Smiling evilly, I nodded with forethought of how to tease this foolish Tsundere. Just wait, woman. I\'ll break your pride.

Clearing my throat, I stared at Vita seriously: "Can you prepare a private chamber to hide my aura? It needs to be of the highest level."

A grave look flashed over her serene expression: "May I ask why?"

"Yes. but it will be in the Chamber with End." Lilith interjected grimly. " I\'ve already sent for him. He should be here in a few minutes."

"And you, m\'lady?"

"I\'ll be taking a rest." She said, tracing her fingers over the ring I gave her. "Take care of him for me. Oh… And I\'ll be sending a message to Arcanos and Ty. Since I\'m about to pop out the twins."

My muscles jerked up: " I haven\'t seen those two since they abandoned me for my little sister. Those little brats! Are they still Loli?"

"Yup. They refuse to grow up. They claim they wanna be like their big sis." Lilith said, shaking her head. "Their killing intent is even bigger. I think they have killed more people than you and I combine. Truck-Kun is training them well. Although said training is…."

"There running people over with trucks, aren\'t they."

She nodded:"... yes."
