So, welcome to the new story! After having the poll, it seems that this one came out on top! So, thank you to everyone who gave it a vote, now it's time to meet the first son of Sirzechs and Grayfia, and see his journey, but being the son of Sirzechs and Grayfia isn't always easy, sometimes it can be highly difficult...


Prologue!

Running…

Running as fast as he could, was a young boy.

Escaping from what was happening to him.

Being chased down by a wild creature with eyes that could melt anything in its path.

The young boy had soft features making him look quite handsome, bright red eyes that could even shine in darkness, though one of them seemed to have something different about it. His hair was a mixture of bright red, and silver hair that extended down towards his shoulders with two long bangs going just past his shoulders, matching that of his Father's, yet his face looked more like his Mother's. His fringe fell just before reaching his eyes.

He looked to be the age of ten years old.

Being chased down by a monster…

He suddenly turned around and pointed his finger towards him, and smiled out happily.

"Got you!"

From his pointed finger, a wave of Power of Destruction came out like a small bullet, yet it held quite a bit of power behind his blast. Power of Destruction, the ability to annihilate anything that comes in its path, struck the beast in the chest.

"Aaaaaaaaaah!"

Dramatically, the beast fell down to the ground, and held its chest.

But then its body began to shimmer in the light, and turned into a male that seemed to be in his twenties with full red hair.

"You got me, I've been hit."

The man chuckled out, while the young boy leaped upwards, and hopped onto the stomach of the elder male, causing the older to cough out in fake pain, while the younger boy pushed his hands against the older man's chest.

"Did you see that Tou-chan? I managed to catch you off guard."

The elder man chuckled, rubbing the younger's head gently.

"That you did, I was really surprised. You shot me!" He placed a hand over his chest once more. "I think I'm dying! I need a new heart, now where can I get a new heart…?" Chuckling, his eyes went towards the young boy who showed a fearless smile. "I'll take your heart!"

The elder man tried to grab the young boy, but he slapped his hand away and jumped up.

"You wont take me!"

The young boy placed several of his fingers outwards, and each of them gathered the famed Power of Destruction or POD for short, each becoming spheres, and them he whipped his hand outwards, shooting each of them off like bullets.

For his Father, he was rather surprised, and raised a barrier to block them, but the boy waved his fingers upwards, and the demonic power rose into the air, changing direction, surprising the elder man quite a bit.

"So, you've been keeping that from me. Controlling your Power of Destruction are you Zavian~?"

Zavian adopted a soft smile, and then gave a thumbs up.

"I've gotta keep my secrets to beat you old man!"

"I'm not old! Ask your Kaa-chan!"

Zavian let out a belly laugh while Sirzechs showed a small pout on his face.

But that was the time Zavian needed to whip his hand downwards, and shot off the spheres as fast as he could.

Sirzechs let off a smirk, cupping his hands together, and the POD gathered in his hands, and soon it became a sphere, which grew larger and larger, until Sirzechs shot it off into the sky, encompassing the power of Zavian and took it down immediately, without even leaving a trace.

"I'd like to teach you this technique one day Zavian, since you're quite similar to me. A Wizard Technique type, you're also quite like your Kaa-chan...scary when you want to be scary~" Zavian let out a childlike laughter. "But in all seriousness, seeing you growing all of the time brings a smile to my heart."

"How can your heart smile?"

Sirzechs strode over to Zavian and petted his head, the young boy looked up towards him with a smile.

"Because it can!" Zavian still didn't get it, but went along with it. "Anyway, best not tell your Kaa-chan that we sneaked out of school for this. You know what Grayfia might do if she finds-"

"Did you think I wasn't aware of your transgressions Sirzechs-sama?"

Sirzechs jumped, and so did Zavian.

Their eyes turned towards the right, to see a mildly angry looking Grayfia. Her face was like a stone wall, unreadable. Yet her eyes, her eyes that felt like they were burning fire into the pair of them, Sirzechs even was looking afraid.

"H-Heeeeey Grayfia, what's going on? You're quite sneaky, I didn't sense anything at all. W-What are you doing here? Not trying to hurt me, are you?"

Grayfia moved forward, brushing her maid's outfit, and pulled out a harisen.

Sirzechs whimpered, moving behind the young boy, and pushed him forward.

"Tou-chan!"

"She wont hit you!"

Grayfia continued moving closer.

"Zavian-sama, you currently should be in school." He winced at the tone. "And Sirzechs-sama, you also taking Zavian-sama out of school which is vital to the growing youth. Could I ask why you decided to do this?"

"I only have today off Grayfia, I wont see him for like nearly a week properly, so I thought that a day with me would be more educational than a day at boring old..." Grayfia's eyes sharpened, Sirzechs stiffened. "...I-I mean, to the fun loving school that's awesome. Yeah, that's it. Hehehehe."

Nervous laughter filled the air, Grayfia let out a sigh, but then she placed a hand to her stomach, feeling an odd sensation which Zavian noticed.

"Kaa-chan, is something wrong?"

"No, I'm currently well Zavian-sama. Though I wished you would call me 'Grayfia' during these times when I am on my duties."

"But, you're my Kaa-chan, everyone knows that. Why would I call you Grayfia? Isn't that bad for your son to call you by your name so casually Kaa-chan? Even if you're the maid of the Gremory, I still respect you as my Kaa-chan."

Sirzechs chuckled, but stopped when Grayfia glanced towards him.

"Sorry Grayfia, I love playing together with my son. He's really growing and I didn't want to miss out with all of these duties cropping up."

Grayfia's eyes went between Sirzechs and Zavian and then let out a small breath.

"If you put it that way then maybe I can let it go this time." Sirzechs and Zavian smiled to the other, but Grayfia moved closer. "But next time, do not pull Zavian-sama out of school to simply play games. I will arrange times for when we can spend time together as a family. Education is important, especially if you want our child to succeed later down in life. I wont allow anything but the best for Zavian-sama."

Sirzechs and Zavian bowed their heads respectfully to Grayfia.

"Yes Grayfia, I'm sorry."

"Me too Kaa-chan."

Grayfia allowed a rarely seen smile to appear on her face.

"Then we shall commence with play. Zavian-sama, I recommend we jump Sirzechs-sama and take him down together."

"W-Wait, what?"

Sirzechs blinked rapidly, Zavian chuckled as Grayfia adopted a kinder face.

"Yes Kaa-chan! Lets take down the Maou-sama!"

Zavian jumped Sirzechs, knocking him down to the ground while Grayfia used her magic to bind down Sirzechs who began laughing while Zavian did the same thing.

Though sometimes they couldn't be together like this, in rare instances, it was the best time that they all had with one another.


Zavian later on ended up going back home with his parents having gone towards their respective works. He was alright with it, since that's what they had to do, he admired that they held such strong positions or at least made them do their work in the case of Grayfia. He was sure that Sirzechs would struggle without Grayfia.

But while he was walking back towards the castles doors, he saw a shadow appearing behind him, something that he smirked at.

"So, my rival has returned to fight against me has he?"

Zavian said it while showing a strong expression on his face.

"That's right! The Maou-sama's son is my opponent today! I shall beat you and take the title as strongest in the Underworld!"

Zavian rolled his eyes.

"I'm hardly the strongest in the Underworld. I'm not more powerful than my parents never mind anyone else."

"I meant our age!"

The voice complained, Zavian chuckled light heartedly.

"Alright then, don't get your body in a twist." His eyes turned around towards the voice, and gave a smile. "Are you coming for me Bova-kun or not?"

Before him, was a rough looking Dragon that was breathing out a stream of fire that even made Zavian seem small even though he was the average height for a child his age. The Dragon turned his mouth towards Zavian and breathed out a stream of fire without even speaking anymore, Zavian chuckled and flew up into the air on his Devil wings.

Bova followed him with the stream of fire, where Zavian placed his hands together, and shot off a large volume of POD power. It was larger than most would be able to do at his age. He was the child of Sirzechs and Grayfia, two very powerful Devils, so he himself was also quite powerful at the same time.

The POD washed over the flames, and took them down without any worries, but Bova flew up high and came to the same level as Zavian and readied to breathe out his fire, when Zavian waved his hands, and a wave of POD came out, slamming against Bova's body and blew him backwards, Bova let out a small cry and spat out waves of flames that didn't lose intensity to a fully seasoned Dragon showing his strength.

However, Zavian managed to use his POD to shoot down the power each and every time, matching the attacks blow for blow.

"Damn you and your Power of Destruction!"

Bova growled, Zavian let out a small laugh, and them clapped his hands together, summoning his POD in his palms, which took the form of arrows. They looked powerful, and able to pierce anything that could come across them.

Them while Bova recovered from using his power, Zavian threw his arrows of destruction, and they came close to Bova's body. Bova grimaced, and went to move, when Zavian threw his hands outwards, and moved the POD arrows, blocking Bova's path, one of the arrows hovered near the Dragon's neck, making Bova relent.

"Alright, you win for today Zavian. You're still able to best me damn it."

Zavian dropped the arrows, moving closer to the airborne Dragon.

"Don't sound so silly, you did quite well today Bova-kun. You've managed to overcome me before, I was just super pumped today because I fought my Tou-chan briefly. It was the best. So what are you doing? Besides challenging me that is. Are you causing trouble again?"

Bova huffed turning his head to the left.

"No, I'm not causing trouble. I'm just looking for strong opponents, and I found one. I thought that you'd be in school today, but it seems that you aren't. So I decided to challenge you to another match, that's all."

Zavian chuckled, petting the Dragon's head.

"Of course, don't worry about it Bova-kun. I had fun."

"Well, of course! Anyway-"

"Zavian!" Zavian heard his name being called, and saw his Grandmother on the ground, waving him down. "Zavian, your Kaa-sama called, and said that I should take care of you! Would you like to go to the human world with me?"

"Okay Obaa-chan!" Zavian's head turned to Bova who looked on with a rough expression. "Want to come Bova-kun?"

"Nah, I'm going to go and see if that Mermaid wishes to have a fight."

Zavian knew he'd reply like that.

"Alright then, see you soon."

He waved off Bova, and flew down to his Grandmother, Venelana.

"Zavian, are you ready sweetheart?"

"Yes Obaa-chan! Where are we going?"

"Actually, we're going to one of my favourite places in the human world. It is a place in Europe where there's a beautiful town that we can look at from afar. Since it also belongs to your Tou-chan, we would be quite safe with one another."

"That sounds good to me Obaa-chan!"

Venelana showed a kind smile, and locked hands with Zavian, before they walked off together.


Sometime later, Zavian and Venelana appeared in a certain part of Europe and sat on a hill outside of a beautiful looking town before them.

Venelana set out a picnic setting, while Zavian began taking out the food like a dutiful grandson would do for his Grandmother.

"You're a good boy Zavian." Venelana smiled out, edging closer to the young boy. "Now, why don't we eat together? After this, we can go shopping, I do need a big strong man to carry my bags for me. Could you help me out with that Zavian?"

"Yes! Leave it to me Obaa-chan!"

He said it with a childlike sense of wonder, thrusting his fist into the sky, and looked strong.

Venelana released a small giggle and they began eating their food together on a quiet peaceful hill.

"So Zavian, tell me about your schooling. Your Kaa-chan told me that you sneaked out of class with your Tou-chan this morning."

Zavian rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"Y-Yeah, I wanted to spend time with Tou-chan too. Since he's quite busy we wont see one another much this week."

"Well, that's fine with me. Every child should spend time with their parents every so often, even if they're busy and important like your Tou-chan and Kaa-chan." Venelana continued to smile, taking a bite of her sandwich. "Also, have you been thinking of your peerage? You're going to be gaining your Evil Pieces in the near future. You have to begin making preparations now. Since you're the son of the Maou Lucifer, many will expect great things from you and your peerage."

"Aah yes, that's right. I've already begun thinking Obaa-chan, and I've decided that I'm going to find people that need to be saved too."

Venelana tilted her head curiously.

"Is that so dear?"

"Yes. I've heard stories from others servants, and how bad their lives were, and some are with some bad Devils, I want to make a peerage of people that need places to go and I'll take care of them, and we'll be a happy family."

"Well, you are a Gremory, extraordinary affection, I shouldn't be surprised you'd say something like that." Venelana smiled out. "I'm sure any peerage member you'd have would be loved. But don't forget to get a balanced peerage, you don't want to be just focused on power of technique alone. You need a good balance to make a strong group, and make sure that they are good people too. You don't want to be with bad people now dear."

"Yes, you're right Obaa-chan. I want a quite diverse peerage. Maybe I'll make Sera-tan into my peerage member..."

"Hehe, I don't know if...well, she probably would considering how she likes clinging to you. But even then, I'm sure you'll find good chances to add strong people to your peerage. Maybe you'll find Sacred Gear users, or strong people with unique powers. You never know what might happen Zavian."

"Yeah..."

Zavian smiled and they continued speaking quietly to one another.

But soon Venelana noticed a flow of power coming from the nearby town which Zavian also noticed too. It felt like a group of power, Venelana's eyes sharpened, while Zavian looked towards his Grandmother.

"Obaa-chan, there's a group of people down there. Are we going to leave or should we go and investigate?"

"That's a good question dear. I don't know yet. Since you're here, I'm torn on if we should go back or I should go on my own. But if I go on my own then there could be a chance you could be harmed. Or if I send you back now, they might be alerted to my location and then could cause harm to me. But this is your Tou-chan's territory, they are trespassing in this area, and it is my duty to find out what's going on. Perhaps it would be better if we left-"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

Zavian heard a scream.

It sounded like that of a young girl.

He couldn't tell age by the voice alone.

But the sound of the voice sounded like they were terrified.

Zavian didn't even think and took off.

Someone was in danger, that's all that mattered.

He was always taught to help those that couldn't help themselves, and protect them with his life.

So that's what he was doing at that moment in time.

"Zavian! Wait!"

Venelana let out a breath, and chased after Zavian.

Zavian ran as fast as he could, shooting down the hill like a bullet, and entered the largely deserted area. Zavian knew that the town was more of a place where people would go on a vacation than a place where people actually lived so most of the time it was abandoned. But even he had come here before on vacation with his parents.

He zipped through the streets with Venelana hot on his heels.

But as she flew after him, a number of people appeared behind him to try and hurt him with magical techniques, but Venelana landed before them while using her own POD to destroy their attacks before they could reach Zavian's body, and showed her scary aura. Her demonic power surrounded her body, and her eyes shifted between the enemies before her.

"Not my grandson. I suggest running away before I take your lives."

Venelana threatened.

She usually was a kind and sweet young woman.

But when it came to her family, she wasn't the nicest, and she wouldn't hold back her thoughts either.

Zavian continued running towards the cries that he could hear.

Desperate to find who it was that was being attacked.

He heard more and more cries as he continued running through the streets.

Each stride bringing him closer to his objective, and that was the safety of the person before him.

He heard the noises getting louder and louder as he moved forward.

Then as he rushed into the open area of the town, he saw that across the way, was a young blue haired girl that seemed around his age. Hanging from her neck, was a cross, and in her hand, was a normal looking sword. It didn't seem to be all that special, it seemed to be just an ordinary katana.

But on her body, were several wounds that were bleeding.

And before her, were men and women alike carrying weapons and they were attacking her body without even a worry. She tried to defend herself the best that she could, but she couldn't get away so easily.

Zavian had already seen enough by that time, and rushed in to help the young woman, shooting off a mass of POD power, separating the girl from the men and women that had swords, and spears among other things, jumping towards her, and got between the two of sets of people, and put up his hands in a fighting position.

"Why are you attacking this girl?"

Zavian demanded from the people before him.

"Don't get in the way or you'll be exorcised Devil boy!"

"Don't get in the way!"

"We'll kill her!"

"Stupid girl thinking she can detain us!"

Zavian turned his head to the young girl and saw that she looked between him and the others chasing her, she exactly wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel about anyone at that moment. However, within her sharp eyes, he could see that she was quite determined, yet displayed a hint of fear.

"Detain you. Then are you strays by chance?"

Zavian's question was met with a smirk.

"We're a group that go around killing Devils, and Vampire's and other dark creatures like yourself." The seemingly leader said to Zavian who narrowed his eyes. "And this girl got in the way of that. So if you'd kindly move out of the way, I'll kill her, then I'll kill you."

Zavian looked between the blue haired girl, and then the group before him.

It seemed like she had gotten caught up in this mess somehow, and ended up nearly being killed as a result.

But since this was Gremory territory and he was a Gremory, then he had jurisdiction there.

"...My name is Zavian Gremory, and this territory belongs to the Gremory's! If you don't leave right now, you shall incur my wrath!"

Zavian threatened.

He wasn't usually the violent kind.

But to defend people that were being attacked, then he would show his side that was quite like his Father going serious, and the same for his Mother.

The men and women blinked in surprise, looking at Zavian curiously.

But then they began laughing.

"Hahaha! What a joke!"

"Run on home junior!"

"Seriously! Are you trying to be a beast cute pup!?"

Zavian tilted his head, then showed a smile.

"I tried to warn you."

Zavian raised his hands to the sky, and sent his POD into the sky. The humans watched on with wonder, seeing that slowly, the dark energy was encompassing the sky, and soon blocked off the sun, creating darkness around their form.

It looked like a large cloud had formed in the air, the humans didn't know what was happening.

"Extinction Rain!"

Zavian waved his hands downwards, and from the cloud up high, droplets of rain shot down like hail, and anything they hit, caused them to bleed, or snap in the case of weapons, destroying the parts it hit, and broke the weapons. Some of the rain also hit the people in the legs, and back, breaking their stances, and forced them onto bended knee.

"Aaaaah!"

"W-We underestimated this child!"

"What is this monster!?"

"Damn it all!"

The people screamed out, trying to use magic to stop the attacks, but the rain was strong, and destroyed parts of the magic circles that they made had been obliterated into nothingness, allowing the rest of the rain to continue beating down onto their forms.

The young girl watched on with unsure eyes.

She didn't know what to make of the Devil boy before her.

She was supposed to not like Devils.

They were her enemy.

Yet one was defending her.

She had to question if there was an ulterior motive behind what he was doing.

She wondered if she was going to be next.

"Time to be finished!"

Zavian rushed forward, coating his hands in POD power, and punched forward, slamming his fist into the men and women's stomach, and unleashed blasts near their bodies, and added with the rain, which didn't touch Zavian since he controlled where it went, it broke the ones that stances didn't break before, knocking them down to the ground.

A majority of the humans, who didn't seem to be all that powerful, had their stances broken and fell down to the ground while howling in pain, but Zavian stood in defence of the blue haired girl who still didn't know what was happening, why he was defending her like he was.

"Now, why don't you all back off? I don't want to harm you anymore."

"Little bratty child, thinking that he can beat us!"

One of the members that was left standing went to strike Zavian, but Zavian placed his hand outwards, and unleashed a demonic blast of POD to attack the man, but he dodged the attack, swinging his sword to Zavian.

Zavian pulled backwards, avoiding the slash all together, and placed his fingers in a shooting position, pointing them towards the man that was attacking him, shooting off a bullet of POD power that could erase many things.

The man huffed, and activated a fireball based magic spell, shooting it towards the sphere, but Zavian cocked his hand outwards, and upwards, the POD bullet changed direction, and went over the power itself.

"You can control your own power!?"

The man said with surprise, summoning more magical circles, and shot off a number of elements to take down Zavian's attack, but he dodged the sphere out of the way with good finger movements that even the man was surprised.

But then he made a lightning bolt magic blast, hitting the sphere, and took it down.

He smiled at what happened, and was feeling smug…

But then that was replaced with fear when Zavian appeared before him with his foot swinging outwards, and kicked the man in the face, so hard that the air pressure crumbled an already weakened wall, and knocked the man down to the ground, pointing his fingers to his forehead.

"I can fight with my hands and feet too you know?"

Zavian stood protectively of the girl, while the downed hunters were all worried about what was happening.

The child had taken them down.

Even though they hunted his kind, a child took them down.

Zavian then looked down at the man who he had knocked down.

"Now take your men and women out of the Gremory territory. For attacking a defenceless child, I cannot be sure what you are thinking about. It seems that you are the ones that have evil in their hearts if you're attacking a child like this."

Zavian commanded, but the men and women didn't answer.

Zavian scowled, but then Venelana appeared while carrying a number of people behind her, surprising everyone that was around. The kind beauty of Venelana managed to beat a number of people, what was even more worrying was that Zavian managed to beat the enemies and he was a child.

"Coming into the territory of the Gremory without permission is not allowed. Our borders are clearly marked, if you have any business with this girl, since she is in our territory, it is up to the members of the Gremory clan to decide what happens to her. Unless, you can offer me some explanations on why you're attacking my grandson when he was defending this girl? And tell me about why you're hunting her in the first place? To me, I don't see what a child has done to warrant such an attack. I can see the wounds on that girl, it seems like you had intended to kill her for real."

They didn't know what to do.

Venelana was speaking calmly, but an aura around her was giving worry to everyone else that was around them.

Zavian himself made sure that his body was between the girl, and the humans trying to harm her.

Venelana then moved closer to them, and dealt with them while Zavian turned towards the blue haired girl.

Her eyes scanned over Zavian as he pulled closer.

She looked on, and wasn't sure if she was looking at an ally, an enemy or something else entirely.

But because of the wounds on her body, and general dizziness of what happened, her eyes became heavy and she fainted on the spot.

The last thing she saw was a flash of brilliant red and silver that could make anyone intrigued.


Pain…

Pain rippled through her small body.

She couldn't tell what it was, but she felt like she was dying…

No.

Actually, she felt like her pain was being taken away slowly but surely.

She couldn't work it out.

She didn't know what it was, but it felt like something was washing over her body, and it felt so good. Oh so good. It was so good she thought that she was losing her mind.

The feeling of what it was, made her feel amazing.

She was almost afraid to open her eyes.

When she dared to open her eyes, she felt light hitting her eyes, and she hated the light.

She couldn't even think about what she was going to do now.

The area around her seemed unfamiliar.

It wasn't like the Church she had been at her entire life.

It looked more, polished.

High class.

"Mmmmm..."

That's when she heard a noise.

And also felt arms wrapped around her form.

She didn't even register anything was going on until she heard that noise.

She didn't even feel the body around her body.

Her bottom lip trembled, she didn't even want to know what was going on.

But she turned her eyes slowly to the area that the noise came from.

The first thing she saw was a brilliant red colour, and the same for the silver mixed into the red.

She went lower with her eyes, seeing a cute face of a child before her, hugging onto her form.

Her voice failed her.

She couldn't cry out.

She couldn't do anything.

Her body felt stiff.

Her eyes continued going down, seeing that his shoulders were bare, they had no clothing on.

Continuing with her trembling bottom lip, she continued going down his body, having enough strength to push aside the covers, and saw a near naked sleeping boy.

But she also noticed that on his chest, there were several scar like marks.

Her fingers twitched as she dared to poke his body.

She poked his chest, his arm, and shoulder.

She felt demonic energy coming off of him.

Yet it seemed calm.

"So, this boy is a Devil...? He feels human enough to me..."

The girl reasoned, pushing against his body more and more.

Then she saw his face twitching, so she moved closer and closer.

She couldn't work out what happened.

As she leaned closer and closer, her eyes fluttered and her body tensed more and more.

As she got so close to Zavian, her finger pushed against his cheek, and this time, it woke him up.

His eyes slowly opened, looking tired, and he moved his head upwards, but since the girl was so close, his lips pushed against her cheek, and hers did against his own without even realizing until it was too late.

"Mmmmm...morning is here..."

The young blue haired girl shook her body, and could only let out a scream.


Elsewhere in the castle, Grayfia heard "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" being yelled, and placed a hand on her forehead.

"It seems our guest is awake."

She slowly stood up, and walked towards the room that Zavian and the girl was in.


"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

The girl screamed while jumping backwards, almost falling off the bed.

The screaming itself caused Zavian to groan, rubbing his eyes.

"Mmmmm, what's that yelling for…?"

His sleepy eyes looked around.

Then they landed on the girl, so he sat up on the bed, but that just gave her a better view of his near naked front.

Her eyes shot across his body and then she placed a hand over her mouth, looking mortified.

"Aah, you're awake. I'm glad you have woken up~"

The girls eyes blinked none stop.

They couldn't decide to stay open or close.

Her breathing became rapid.

Her fingers spread out from her hand, and made gripping motions to Zavian who tilted his head.

"Is something wrong?"

"W...Why are you nearly naked?" She asked in a calmer manner, but she felt her bottom lip trembling. "I am not going to be seduced by the Devils body. No matter how big anything I might have seen might be. I wont allow myself to be tempted by the Devils. E-Even if the Devil kisses my cheek, I will go to Heaven one day. Remember the teaching's, don't be tempted..."

Zavian looked down at his naked body.

Then he looked back towards her with a smile.

"I was making sure you were healed of course. So I bathed you in demonic power. It works better if we have skin to skin contact. Kaa-chan said that as long as your body made contact with mine then I could help speed up the healing process..."

"I'm being seduced by the Devils. They have taken me to their camp to be seduced, and used as a bride of the Devils. It's alright, you've prepared for this. Griselda, I wont see you again, but I wont bow down to the Devils either. I will fight with every last breath inside of me, and eventually find myself with God. I'll see you up there one day."

The girl didn't know whether she was coming or going now.

She didn't even know what to think.

It was all mind blowing.

It was insane.

Zavian didn't know what she was talking about.

It seemed like she had resigned herself to die or something of that nature.

"Erm, you're in no danger."

"Now the Devil is saying I'm in no danger. Another trick of the Devils. I'm going to die."

Zavian cocked his head.

"You're very eccentric aren't you?"

"Now the Devil is saying I'm eccentric even though I do not know what that means. I can only assume it is bad. If I had Excalibur with me then I could defend myself, but the Devil is going to destroy me like he did those other humans."

"Actually, they're currently locked up. No one's dead."

"The Devil is lying to me again." Her eyes looked around the area, and she saw her blade in the corner of the room. "Now I am going to stand up and not look at the near naked Devil boy in front of me." She did as she said, and stood up, when she realized that she was in a nightgown, while Zavian casually stood up. "Don't attack me, I know how to disable Devils with a glare alone. I learned it from Griselda."

"I don't know who Griselda-san is but I'm sure she's a nice person."

Zavian bent over to pick up his pants off the floor, the blue haired girl looked at his butt briefly, before turning her head, and said "The Devil is continuing to seduce me with his butt this time." then she moved backwards, towards her blade.

Zavian gave her a curious look stopping her in her tracks.

"You're in no danger. If you were, wouldn't you be shackled or something?"

She had to admit that it was a good point.

If she was in danger then he probably would have attacked her by now.

And she wouldn't be in a fancy room like she was.

But she still was cautious about what was going on.

Zavian turned back to slide on his pants while the girl moved ever backwards.

"By the way, my name is Zavian Gremory. What's your name?"

The young girl paused, wondering if she should reveal her name or not.

But then she thought that it might help scare the Devil if she did.

"My name is Xenovia, and I am an Exorcist in training. But even in training, I am still quite powerful, so don't try any seduction tricks with me with your butt, or anything of that nature. I have read the books about how male Devils seduce women, and I am going to tell you right now, I am a human that can't be seduced."

"I don't think that's accurate to modern Devils."

Zavian replied, placing on his shirt, while the girl grabbed a nearby shirt, and threw it on her body and some pants as well. Since she saw 'Blue haired girls clothes.' written on paper nearby, she thought that they would be for her.

Then as Zavian turned around, Xenovia grabbed her blade, and mercilessly swung it for Zavian without even thinking about the consequences, going right for his neck to cleave off his head.

But while turning, he caught the sight of the blade, so he pulled back, the sword cutting the air, Xenovia got into a mediocre stance with her blade.

"Why are you attacking me?"

"You kidnapped me to be in your little dungeon and you were going to attack me no doubt! Devils are like that after all!"

"That's a very generalization of a race without knowing them. Have you interacted with Devils before?"

Xenovia didn't reveal anything but swung her sword for Zavian once more.

Zavian however ran his POD through his hand, and shot it for Xenovia's blade. The energy was unreal, and Xenovia was immensely surprised when the POD shot went right through the sword she was wielding, essentially cutting it in half, the section of the blade that had been cut off stabbed into the floor, while she held the remnants of the broken sword, to her everlasting surprise and couldn't begin to imagine what she was going to do now.

"Calm down, I'm not here to harm you."

"Says the Devil who was near naked with me in bed."

Xenovia dead panned, Zavian rolled his eyes.

"Yes, but that was to heal your body. You had some nasty injuries, I was taking care of you. If I didn't do that, then you could have died. Could you tell me why you were with them within Gremory territory? I need to know so I can make a proper transfer for you to go back to your people once more."

Xenovia didn't believe him, and shot for the door.

He went to intercept when Xenovia threw her sword for Zavian.

Zavian grabbed the blade, and within a single motion, he threw it at the door, stabbing into the wood, blocking Xenovia's path all together, she couldn't deny that he was quite skilled to throw that with such accuracy.

"Don't run away, I only want to talk to you. I'm not here to harm you."

"I cannot believe that. Everything in the teachings has told me different. I cannot stand here, and just allow you to devour my soul."

"Devour your soul…? Are you teaching ancient stuff? Devils haven't devoured souls for hundreds of years."

Xenovia scowled.

"Don't insult the teachings."

"I'm not, I'm just saying that-"

"Zavian-sama." Grayfia stepped through the door, cutting off Zavian. "Ah, it seems that our guest has woken up..." She noticed the blade in the wall. "...and has taken up fighting already. I suppose that makes sense considering that she's most likely an Exorcist."

"Yes, her name is Xenovia-san and I think she might be confused about why we brought her here. She thinks we're going to take her soul or something like that."

Zavian chuckled awkwardly, while Xenovia saw her chance, and rushed for the door, pushing past Grayfia, and ran down the corridor.

Zavian looked towards his Mother who held onto her stomach briefly.

"Kaa-chan, are you okay? You could have stopped her then easily."

"Ah, I could of yes. I was momentarily distracted. But do not fear Zavian-sama, she cannot leave this house, I have sealed it off."

Zavian chuckled lightly.

But he could see that his Mother was feeling a little unwell or something and was worried for her.


Xenovia ran down the corridors as fast as she could.

She didn't know where she was going, but she had to escape.

She saw many corridors that looked the same.

She saw pictures on the wall of Lord and Lady Gremory among others.

She even saw an image of Zavian which looked a little younger than he was now.

But that didn't matter.

What did was running out of the area.

She tried different doors, but they were locked, or when she opened them, they were just another bed room, or the bath room, and she couldn't find a way for her to get out of the castle that she was in.

When she found an open door, she burst through it, and saw Sirzechs sat in the room, holding up a dangerous looking sword.

Her eyes widened when he turned towards her, placing the sword back down in its rightful place.

"Hello there. You must be-"

"Demon!"

Xenovia yelled, and ran out of the door, shutting it behind her, leaving behind a baffled Sirzechs.

Xenovia continued running, turning a corridor, and found some stairs.

"Thank you God, I am going to escape. Wait for me Griselda."

Relief came to her body, so she went down them as fast as she could.

As she ran down them, she was opened up to a large foyer area with different plants near the walls, more pictures hung up, and decorated with the Gremory symbol that could make most things look shameful.

She found the door in front of her, so she ran forward.

But as she did, she heard a noise coming from the left, so her eyes dared that way, and she saw that someone was holding up a blade…

It was Venelana.

She was holding up some scissors, cutting some fabric before her.

But to Xenovia, they looked very sharp, and could be turned on her.

Venelana noticed Xenovia in the hallway, and gave a gentle smile.

"Aah, you're the girl from before. You have finally woken up. I'm sure that Zavian is very happy, he was quite worried about you, he shared a lot of his demonic power with you so your healing would be increased."

Xenovia wasn't sure what to believe.

But she shot for the door, and went to open it, when a circle appeared before her, a barrier.

She couldn't touch it.

Her hands were repelled when she tried.

"Sorry, but if you go into the Underworld then you might be seen as an invader." Zavian said as he came up behind her. She grabbed a nearby plant pot to throw at Zavian, but he held up his hands. "Listen, I'm not here to kill you. I don't want to do anything to you, please just calm down so we can talk about what's happening."

"Never!"

Xenovia charged for Zavian, throwing the pot at Zavian, but Zavian shot it down with his demonic power, Xenovia placed her hand outwards, thrusting it towards Zavian but Zavian caught her fist, and pushed her backwards.

"Please listen to me. I am not going to harm you. Lets talk about what happened."

Xenovia inhaled and exhaled.

She was surrounded by powerful Devils.

Griselda in times like this told her to think rationally, and do what she could to escape her worries.

Even though she didn't want to do this, she had to do what it takes to get back to the Church.

"Alright...I shall have a conversation with you. But I want it to be just a calm meeting."

"I wasn't the one swinging a sword around."

Xenovia gave him a dead panned expression, Zavian scratched the back of his head sheepishly.


Later on, Zavian and Xenovia sat down within the living area, and were moderately alone. Some maids and servants were hanging around, but beyond that, they were alone. Grayfia and Sirzechs were currently sorting out a number of things regarding Xenovia, and his grandparents were bust doing their duties.

He could see that she was acting rather stiff.

Though given the circumstances, he could understand why that was.

It made sense.

He however acted calm like a nobleman would do, having his hands together, showing a calm and collected expression.

"So, could you tell me why you were chasing after those people? Or they chasing after you?"

Xenovia didn't know if she should reveal anything or not at first.

But then seeing that she was in a tight situation, then she had to do something.

"I am an Exorcist...in training. They betrayed the faith. They needed to be stopped, I saw an opportunity, and took it. Though I admit now that I didn't think it through and got myself into a bad situation. I wished to prove to Griselda that I was strong and didn't need to hold back, and was ready to go on missions to defend the Church and its loyal followers. But now, I was saved by a Devil. I hope God can forgive this transgression."

"Well, I'm sure God would be fine with it if you live."

Xenovia's eyes snapped upon Zavian as he said it, almost like she was in disbelief.

"You know nothing of my God, do not presume things."

Zavian seeing the harsh eyes of Xenovia on his form, continued showing a calm and rational face.

"Okay then. All I'm saying is that we have to make contact with your group, and arrange a place for you to be taken to. Devils of our nature can't exactly go towards the Church, enemy territory, and the same for the Church coming to the Underworld to collect you. We still are at odds with one another after all."

"Drop me off in the middle of a wooded area near the place you found me, I could find my way back to the Church."

Xenovia stated it as if it was nothing.

But to Zavian it wasn't an option.

"Sorry but I can't do that."

"Why? Are you denying me the chance to return back to the Church?"

Zavian shook his head.

"If we drop you off in the middle of nowhere, and something happened to you, I am not sure I could live with that on my conscience."

"Funny, I didn't know that a Devil had conscience."

She laughed through her nose, almost scoffing.

She didn't back down for even a second.

She wasn't even going to show a vulnerable side.

Zavian had to admit that it wasn't so bad to see such a girl her age acting so tough even in the face of overwhelming odds.

"We do, and I would have it on mine if something happened to you. The best way for us to deal with this is to make sure that we all understand what happened, and have you safely returned to the Church. My parents are currently making contact with the Church and we're sorting out a neutral meeting ground, and to discuss it and explain what happened. I think it is safe for all sides to do it this way."

Zavian answered Xenovia in a way to defuse the situation.

Xenovia hummed as she folded her arms.

"I see, then I suppose that would have to be the best way. If it is to keep the sides all happy, and not have any negativity on our groups."

Zavian nodded his head.

"Now, is there anything you would like to eat Xenovia-san? You haven't eaten since...well, whenever it was you ate last."

"No, I'm currently fine." Contrary to what she said, her stomach began rumbling, causing her to blush in mild embarrassment. "...I guess that maybe a meal wouldn't be so bad. Though I would like it checked for poison beforehand."

Zavian laughed off Xenovia's words.

"Haha, you're funny Xenovia-san, we wouldn't poison any food."

Xenovia gave him a wary look, and wasn't so sure about it.

But she was glad to get some food.

Even if it was from the Devils.


Two days later, Xenovia laid in her bed, and wondered what was going to happen.

She didn't think that a Devils home would be like this.

It was quite calm and cheerful.

Even during the meals, she saw Zavian and his family laughing together.

Even with her there, they didn't even seem like they were in the company of an Exorcist.

She just couldn't work it out.

But then she needed the bathroom, so she stood up, and walked out of the room.

She knew that trying to escape was futile.

She was in the Underworld, she had nowhere else to go.

Though even relying on Devils was hard for the young woman.

As she walked down the corridor, she saw that Zavian's bedroom door was slightly ajar, and a thought came to her, so she decided to go inside.

"Devil boy, are you in here?"

She asked, walking inside of the room...only to discover that it was empty.

Her eyes glanced around the bedroom, noticing that there were many different type of things around. Mostly, they were for children, like video games, a large television among other things, but she also saw some pictures on the side.

She saw some of Sirzechs, Grayfia and Zavian, some of his grandparents, and other pictures with children his own age.

She continued looking towards the pictures, and moved forward towards them...

But then she felt a hand on her shoulder, causing her to jump and instinctively attack Zavian, but he casually dodged the attack, and put distance between us. Xenovia went to attack again, but she saw that it was Zavian himself so she paused, she knew that she probably wouldn't of been able to over power him anyway.

"Do you really feel that bad being here that your instincts tell you to attack?"

"If the situation was reversed, you'd feel the same as myself." Zavian couldn't deny that it might be the case. "By the way, I have to ask something."

"Yes?"

"I had to understand a few things. Like, why did you rescue me? You're a Devil, I'm from the Church. According to what you said and my own interpretations, I invaded your lands, the Gremory's territory and I'm being difficult. Most Devils would just casually throw me away or kill me or something. I've been here two days now, and not a single attempt has been made on my life. I do not understand."

"Well, that's not my way."

Zavian spoke up while looking stoic, quite like Grayfia.

"What is your way exactly?"

"It is to give others a home and make sure that they have good lives."

Xenovia folded her arms.

"Devils always say alluring words. That's what we're taught at the Church. Devils will deceive you and try and make you lower your sense of security."

"I understand why you're distrustful of me, I probably would be the same. But I can say that you'll be safe here."

"Safe? I saw those scars on your body. How can I be safe here when you aren't safe here?"

Zavian's eyes drifted to the side.

"I didn't get them from living here, that was a completely different incident all together."

"And how is that anyway? What happened to you?"

Zavian inhaled slowly, and remembered how he got them.

It was difficult to think about it.

He couldn't.

Xenovia then peered into his eyes deeply, then pointed to one of his eyes.

"This eye, it isn't natural, is it? I had my doubts before, but seeing it this close, there's some differences."

"I can see out of it and everything, but it isn't natural no."

Zavian revealed while Xenovia continued looking into his eyes.

"What happened to your eye? Did someone attack you? It must of been painful to have your eye destroyed...yet, you seem cheerful. If my eye was destroyed, then I'd be angry or bitter."

Zavian bowed his head.

"Sorry, I don't want to relive that time in my life, it was the worst experience of my life. But it wasn't anything to do with my parents. They love me, and they want what's best for me, they can't help if evil people try underhanded tactics. And yes, I'm angry about it, but I can't change the past, I can only move forward, and do good in this world. I have loving parents, and I want to spread my affection to those who don't have it, my Tou-chan is a kind Maou-sama, and I too want to be like that, yet like my Kaa-chan, I want to do my best in all my duties. And I too want to make sure that you're okay."

"But why would it matter to you if I am okay or not?"

Xenovia brought up as she thought about what Zavian said about what happened, so Zavian furrowed his eyebrows.

"Because you're under my care. We met while you were in Gremory territory, and I was there to make sure that you were safe. I know you probably dislike me, don't trust me, and might even be planning to run away again at any opportunity that you have, and I don't blame you for that."

Xenovia blinked in confusion.

"You...don't?"

It just didn't make sense.

The Devils, from what she had seen with Strays, were people that would use anything for their own greed.

But, what she was seeing was a child her own age, someone that displayed happiness, and also sadness.

Someone that showed genuine emotions.

Someone that was looking out for her.

"No. You're in a situation that you can't control. To you, you're in the Maou-sama's house surrounded by powerful Devils, that would be terrifying for any Exorcist. And here I am, speaking about things like you shouldn't be worried. You have every right to be worried, or scared or whatever you feel. But I'm not going to harm you. I wont attack you, you're safe here. And I'm not going to try and corrupt you away from God either. That isn't what I would do. Everyone has the right to believe whatever they want to believe in. If that's God, or your parents like it is with me, then that's our choice."

Xenovia didn't want to believe it.

She wanted to say that it was the Devils words that were trying to lure her away from God.

But, there was something in his words, in his voice that she began to believe.

She wouldn't allow her to fall from God...yet, she didn't want to fight until she knew that she had to.

"You saved my life...if you knew I was an Exorcist like you do now, would you have chosen my side rather than the enemy Exorcists that had chased me?"

"Yes."

Xenovia managed to hide a surprised expression coming to face, and pressed forward.

"Why is that?"

"I saw your eyes."

"My eyes? Is there something weird about my eyes?"

Zavian shook his head.

"No, but I saw that you didn't hold evil intentions, and they did. In my life, I've seen a good number of people holding different intentions. I can tell if someone is being attacked, or the attacker, and if they're good or not."

"That's quite the skill. I have yet to develop such things."

Zavian chuckled lightly.

"I can see that~"

Xenovia found bemusement coming to her from Zavian's calm smile.

"Maybe I wont fight for now. But if only you tell me more about Devils from a Devil himself."

"What is that you want to know exactly?"

Xenovia pondered that for a few moments, before nodding.

"Do all Devils prefer being naked in bed with other people?"

Being direct, wasn't something that Zavian had expected.

"Hehe, I think that's more of a Gremory thing. Being clothed while in bed feels odd for me, and I said that I had to do that to heal your wounds. I'm not someone with a healing power naturally, the best I can do is share my demonic energy and heal your wounds slowly."

"I see, I see. And are all male members of the Gremory family also romantically involved with silver haired maids?"

Zavian cocked his head curiously.

"Erm...no, that's exclusive to my Tou-chan."

"I understand. And what is your feeling on the colour blue? Since it is the opposite of the colour red like some of your hair."

"Why?"

"I would like your opinion."

Xenovia's stoic voice was rather surprising to say the least.

"Well, blue is a nice colour. Reminds me of the ocean actually."

Xenovia scanned his face before inclining her neck.

"Right, and you aren't out to end the world, right?"

"Haha, no that's not in my plans."

Xenovia's face began curling upwards…

But then she realized what she was doing, so stopped herself, and remained as stoic as she could.

"I see, then that's fine. I need the bathroom now young Devil."

"Zavian, that's my name. You can call me that if you want."

"Zavian...then I shall call you Zavian. Now I'm going to the bathroom Zavian."

Xenovia bowed her head, and walked to the bathroom like she had originally planned beforehand.

Devils were the enemy...yet, she hadn't talked to someone her own age so casually before.

Everyone else in the Church wouldn't really speak to her.

Yet Zavian managed to speak to her normally. He wasn't put off by her direct words, and he didn't even seem to show worry when she attacked him.

All in all, Xenovia thought that if she had to spend time with some Devils, then this Devil wasn't so bad.


The time had come, and Sirzechs stood with Grayfia, and Zavian, among a few guards just in case something where to happen.

Xenovia preferred standing at a distance.

But it seemed that she had slowly began warming up to Zavian himself as she spoke to him without any disgust or anger in her voice.

Though it was clear that she was still tense.

"Tou-chan, how long is it until they come?"

"They should be arriving soon. I had to contact the Church directly, and it seems that they are making sure this isn't a trap."

Sirzechs replied happily, Zavian could understand that.

"You'll get to go back to your friends."

"I don't have friends."

Zavian heard that from Xenovia, and felt sad for her.

"No one at all?"

"The other kids don't want to talk to me, so I don't mind. Though I can converse with Griselda sometimes when she's not angry at me."

"It's nice that you have someone to speak to."

Xenovia hummed, as they continued waiting around.

But then after a little while, a bright circle appeared before them, and it showed some people appearing in a flash of golden light.

The light that was shone from the circle was so bright that Zavian covered his eyes, but Grayfia and Sirzechs all stayed calm and collected.

The person who appeared was a young woman who was very endowed in the chest area. Her hair was blonde and curly. On the right side of her hair, there seemed to be a flower attached to it, and from behind her, beautiful wings grew from her back.

Beside her, were a few Angels, and even a foreign looking woman who could be an actress with stunning eyes.

Xenovia recognized her, and gained a relieved face.

"Griselda."

Griselda's eyes went towards Xenovia, and a smile spread across her face.

"Xenovia, you are safe. I'm so happy." Xenovia nodded, but then Griselda frowned, causing Xenovia to back away. "But, you ran away from the Church to pursue enemies that could have killed you? Why would you do such a thing?"

"Th...That's, I was trying to prove myself-"

"Xenovia." The young blue haired girl winced, dropping the calm demeanour for that one of a worried child. "You could have died, I was immensely worried about you. You can't go running off when you like. If anyone else had found you, then you could have been killed. You're lucky that the Gremory boy had found you and not a Devil with greedier intentions."

Xenovia's head bowed down, Gabriel giggled sweetly.

"Griselda-san, don't worry about it. Everything is going to be fine." Her eyes went towards Zavian and smiled adorably. "I've been hearing good things about you young man. Saving young Xenovia-san here, and managing to keep her safe, and sound. You have Heaven's thanks."

Zavian bowed his head like his Mother had taught him before, Sirzechs stepped forward, and gave an odd chuckle.

"Sorry about this Gabriel, it seems like this incident had caused trouble for both sides with this meeting happening in my territory."

Gabriel shook her head gently.

"No, I'm sorry for causing you worry with Xenovia-san here. But your son showed a great kindness, even in the face of difficulty as I've been told from Griselda-san. Onii-sama wanted to come, but he's currently a little busy so the duty fell down to me. I hope that's okay?"

"Of course~ Haha, this is just a formality anyway, this isn't that serious. Everyone understands what happened during that day, it isn't an issue."

Grayfia nodded, not saying a word since she was in her maid mode at that moment.

"You are correct Sirzechs-san, I understand perfectly. I am just grateful for your kind son taking care of Xenovia-san." Gabriel glanced towards Zavian who looked shyly to the side. "Hehe, you don't have to be shy with me, I promise I wont bite~"

"Y-Yes! I'm sorry Gabriel-sama! It's just...n-no, never mind." Gabriel continued to smile, as Zavian leaned forward. "Erm, Gabriel-sama, can I ask a question…?"

"It's alright, don't worry. You can ask me anything."

"Then, is it possible for Church humans and Devils to be friends?"

Xenovia's face turned to surprise, as did Grayfia and Griselda.

However Sirzechs was happy that Zavian said something like that.

Gabriel let out a small giggle.

"One day I hope that's the case. Isn't it better to be friends than not fight?"

"Y-Yes that's right!"

"Then lets all work hard to make that dream achievable okay Zavian-kun?"

"Of course Gabriel-sama!"

"Then lets be friends Zavian-kun! You and me can be friends!"

Gabriel's childlike innocence had to surprise Grayfia.

But she was happy that her son was making strides to better the world already and make friends with other factions.

"I-I see...i-is that allowed?"

Gabriel leaned down towards him, placing her hand on top of his head gently.

"Of course, I'm sure that it would be fine. Besides, I think you're very kind and brave to risk your life to protect someone you didn't know. It shows me that you're going to be a beautifully kind Devil one day."

"Then I accept!"

Gabriel bowed her head to Zavian and the others, and briefly talked about what happened with Xenovia and her entering territory.

It worked out pretty well and nothing was going to come of it, Sirzechs was a kind guy and didn't see it fit to have anything be put on Xenovia since she was still a young girl, and he also saw that even if Xenovia didn't admit it, she had enjoyed some time with Zavian, and vice versa, and hoped one day that peace between the factions would happen so they could be friends fully.

Once it was done, Gabriel and the others began taking their leave.

Xenovia looked towards Zavian who waved.

Though it was an odd experience, she saw something that she didn't think that she would…

A kind Devil.

Somehow, she knew that this would change a few things on how she would look and what she would feel for the future.

When they were gone, Zavian noticed that Grayfia held a hand to her stomach once more.

Something that she had been doing for a while now.

"Kaa-chan, something's wrong, isn't there?"

Grayfia tilted her head.

"Why do you think that?"

"You...keep holding your stomach...and I heard you being sick the other day...a-are you ill? Are you going to be sicker…?"

Seeing the worry on her sons face, Grayfia bent down towards him, placing a hand on his head, and gently rubbed, showing a kinder softer side that Grayfia rarely showed in public, if ever when in public.

"I'm not sick Zavian-sama. Something wonderful has happened."

"O-Oh?"

Sirzechs adopted a smile, picked up Zavian and held him up high.

"Your Kaa-chan is pregnant Zavian! You're going to be an Onii-sama!"

"A-An Onii-sama? I'm going to have an Otouto or Imouto?!"

"That's right! We don't know what it is yet, but your Kaa-chan and I are having another child! We've been truly blessed!"

"I-I see, then I'm so happy! I'll make sure the new baby is safe Tou-chan!"

Sirzechs chuckled happily.

"Good, I'll be counting on you~"

"Yes, I'm sure you'll be a good Onii-sama Zavian-sama."

Grayfia said with a refreshing smile on her face, in turn Zavian allowed a smile to appear on his face.

But then his face turned serious.

"Can we name the baby if it's a boy, Sirzechs two electric boogaloo?"

Grayfia wore a baffled face, Sirzechs on the other hand nodded.

"That's a good name Zavian! I approve!"

"No."

Grayfia vehemently denied it.

Sirzechs scrunched up his eyebrows.

"How about-"

"No."

"You didn't let me finish! It was a name for a girl!"

Sirzechs complaint made Grayfia narrow her eyes.

"Was it Grayfia two electric boogaloo?" Sirzechs wore a sheepish smile. "No. I don't even know what an electric boogaloo is."

"It's a dance."

Sirzechs expressed joyfully, Grayfia stayed on him with cloudy eyes.

"No."

Sirzechs and Zavian gave a collective sigh, while Zavian was placed onto Sirzechs' shoulders.

"We'll find a good name. Come on Zavian! Lets go and think of names for the new baby!"

"Yes Tou-chan!"

Grayfia rolled her eyes as Sirzechs began running around the area.

But she couldn't deny that she was happy.

To see her son and Sirzechs being so close, and now with another baby on the way, it felt good to her.


End chapter!

So yeah, that's the end of the chapter! You all voted for it, so here it is, the first son of Sirzechs and Grayfia, the older brother of Millicas! I'm surprised this one came on top, but I'm alright with it since I've got a bunch of ideas for this story! I'd also like to thank everyone who did vote, and for those other stories that didn't make it, like Ophis' Spawn and some others, I'll do them one day, but for right now, this is what won!

So Zavian's quite the character, he can be quite eccentric but an intelligent young man, a mixture of Sirzechs and Grayfia's personalities, can be fun loving and yet super serious when he needs to be, and as befitting a Gremory, he doesn't seem to care that he's naked or near naked in from of others, and as expected as a child of Sirzechs and Grayfia, he's quite gifted in his powers with having a good mastery of his Power of Destruction and able to control it at a young age to a good degree, and he has quite the sad past, which is going to play a role later down the story when we find out more of what had happened to him, lets just say it isn't always great to be the son of famous people.

And Xenovia who's quite cold to Zavian at first (quite understandable, especially how they met in bed with one another after she woke up) began slowly warming up to the idea that all Devils aren't so bad when hearing more about Zavian himself, and what he believes, and had a small change of heart by the end which will grow as we go through the story.

So yeah, now it's peerage time, and this is where you all can become involved!

As you can tell, Xenovia is going to be in the peerage, and why Xenovia you might wonder? I think she's quite useful with her swords, I've got an idea for a combination between her and Zavian with both having destructive powers, it would be quite fun, and I like Xenovia's character in general, especially during later volumes where she goes all out with her thoughts, her bluntness among other things.

But the rest of the peerage, is up to you all! I've had some suggestions via PM's, and reviews on other things. Let me know what you think! Some peerage members will be shared with Akira from Half Breed Warrior, but the peerage wont be the exact same.

An older Kunou (since this is fanfiction, while she can't in canon, Kunou would be quite strong with her foxfire among other abilities), Akeno (Holy Lightning among other abilities definitely an asset), Bova (Tannin's son, powerful Dragon and already Zavian's friend/rival) a female Vali (Divine Dividing and a Lucifer, definitely an asset, and Zavian's Father is the currently titled Lucifer so that would be fun), a female Yuuto (eventually two Sacred Gear's, and Gram along with other Demon swords, would be a great asset to Zavian), Tosca (her barriers would be quite useful and could seal enemies) Koneko (Senjutsu user, and the fact that Sirzechs rescues Koneko in canon, it would make sense to give Koneko to Zavian rather than Rias since his sons of age at that point to take care of her), Elmenhilde (her Vampire abilities could be quite the asset), Leonardo (Annihilation Maker would be quite good for Zavian's peerage) Seekvaira (her clans ability would be useful and she's quite intelligent, underutilized in the main series, yes she's an heiress but since this is fanfiction, it could be fun), Le Fay (a magician who's quite skilled), Lint Sellzen (as we've seen recently, she's quite skilled, and can match quite strong opponents).

I also received a quite cool idea where Sona joins Zavian's peerage, therefore Tsubaki would also join the peerage, Sona's remaining members can be discussed later, maybe given Rias' or Zavian's peerages. As for Saji, either be a male or female, that would be your choice. I don't think that has been done before, I thought it was a cool and interesting to explore, and yes, Sona's an heiress, but as with Kunou and Seekvaira above, this is fanfiction so it could change to her joining Zavian's peerage, I've got ideas on how it could work.

For now though, only Xenovia is a confirmed member of the peerage, and of course, suggestions that aren't on the list above are always welcomed!

So yeah, thanks for reading, thanks for voting on the poll, and until next time!
