Shive's role in the Underworld and meeting with the Demon King!

3 days have passed. I trained and meditated non-stop. Zee said we should get out of the Tower today and live for the next 10 months in the city, and we all agreed. We left the tower using Adrid's teleportation spell and went to the Shive's Castle. Vivi, Kiel, and I are shocked when we saw the castle, not because it's so big and with so many maids welcoming us at the front gate, but it's because this is the Demon King's castle. I remembered that Vex said that Shive is a noble family as "Shive", not Cipher. To think about it, I never know their full names. So I asked what is their fake full names. Everyone showed their adventurer's licenses.

Zee Asmodeus

Edith Adellum

Shive Clovernoire

Secra Saerash

Den Gasche

Vex Golizar

Then I ask,

"I heard you are a noble family, Miss Shive, how did it start?"

Shive answers while we are walking inside the castle.

"Hmm... Not so long after I got created, I went to the Underworld with the Demon King, and I pretend to be the first daughter of the Demon King. I changed my appearance to be a small child, and all the demons screaming with joy, knowing that the Demon King has a daughter. But that's not entirely false, because he is also helping the Gods to create me. He never sees me as his daughter but as a Demon Empress. So when I'm alone with him, he will bow to me. But when I'm around his children, I'm acting as their older sister and a daughter of the Demon King. Nobody knows about Cipher in this world nor The Genesis, and we will keep it that way. The Demon King and I created the Tower of Demise with a rumor of a true ruler of the Underworld live on the top of the Tower, and that whoever conquered the Tower will be granted with one wish. With that, we are planning to introduce "Cipher" as the Demon Empress, and preventing the demons to go to Asertia to wage war, because they need the true ruler permission and test their strength if they are capable to conquer Asertia, but no one has ever made it to the top. Some have tried to lead the demon army without my permission, and I defeated them using my butlers. Since then, no one dares to go to war without my permission."

Vivi, Kiel, and I nod. After she told us the story, 2 small girls and 1 boy running towards Shive and hugs her tightly. Shive picks up three of them like a bag of sands. Shive is smiling and kisses them all on the cheeks like they all are her real siblings. Shive introduced her siblings.

The 3rd daughter is Silvia Clovernoire, she's 133 years old. Her bright red hair with cute little horns and purple eyes, on her back she has small bat wings.

The 4th daughter is Sinista Clovernoire, she's 121 years old. Her red hair with cute tiny horns, and purple eyes, on her back also have the same wings as Silvia.

The 2nd son is Albert Clovernoire, he's 197 years old. His dark red hair with tiny horns and purple eyes, on his back he also has small bat wings.

Vivi, Kiel, and I introduced ourselves. They smile and running in circles around us. They are so cute, Vivi and Kiel playing tags with them and running around. We are playing with Shive's siblings for a while, then we go to the throne room to meet the Demon King and the older siblings with Silvia, Sinista, and Albert in front of us teasing each other. We arrived at the throne room. We see a man and woman beside the throne with the Demon King sitting on the throne. They are the older siblings, and they introduced themselves.

The 2nd daughter is Samantha Clovernoire. She's 473 years old. Her silver long hair covering her left eye with horns and yellow eyes, and big black feather wings on her back.

The 1st son is Antoine Clovernoire. He's 492 years old. His silver hair with horns and purple eyes, and wings like Sisca's.

Silvia, Sinista, and Ancra running towards them and hugs their feet. The Demon King, an older man with red long hair with big horns and purple eyes, and big bat wings on his back. His name is Anarc Clovernoire. King Anarc says,

"Welcome to my castle, I know Zee, Edith, Secra, Den, and Vex. But I haven't seen you three, introduce yourself."

We introduced ourselves to the Demon King. The pressure is unreal, it's like standing and waiting for our death sentences. Samantha is approaching Zee and says,

"Zee! I miss you!"

Edith blocked her way and says,

"How many times do I have to tell you? Stay away from Zee! He's mine."

Samantha and Edith staring each other fiercely. Antoine says,

"Little sis... The last time you had a fight with Miss Edith, you're unconscious for a week and big sis had to take care of you."

Samantha is ignoring Antoine and trying to push Edith away. Shive is walking towards Samantha then lift her up and carrying her away from Edith, while Samantha is wiggling her body to try to escape from Shive's arms. Samantha says,

"Big sis! This is unfair! I miss Zee, I want to spend my time with him before he leaves for Asertia."

Shive replies,

"You don't have to worry about that Sam. They will be staying here for 10 months, so you still have a lot of time to be with Zee."

Samantha's eyes are sparkling and wiggling with happiness, while Shive still carrying her. Zee says,

"Yo old man, long time no see."

King Anarc replies,

"I knew it, it was you who cleared the Tower. I was curious about who did that."

Zee replies,

"That Tower is impossible to be cleared. Well, unless it's the Undead King. He might be able to clear it. Oh speaking of the Undead King, are you guys still at wars?"

King Anarc replies,

"Heh... Of course! Those filthy creatures are annoying. They are still trying to capture the mountain up north where the artifact's walls are. If they manage to get those, they will be unbeatable."

Zee replies,

"Hoho... You still don't want Shive to take care of them?"

King Anarc replies,

"I don't want to send her to fight an unnecessary war."

Antoine says,

"Big sis is too strong, it will only waste her time."

Samantha nod and says,

"We are still curious about big sis though. Father never told us, who's big sis mother is. Every time we asked father, he is always avoiding it."

King Anarc ignoring them like he didn't hear anything. Shive replies,

"It doesn't matter, isn't it? I only care about my little brothers and sisters, because you all are my family."

Samantha, Silvia, Sinista, and Albert run towards Shive and hugs her tightly. Zee says,

"Well old man. We will stay here for 10 months, so can you spare 9 rooms for us?"

King Anarc replies,

"What happened in Asertia? Did you do something again?"

Zee and the others laughing nervously. King Anarc shook his head and told the maids to prepare the rooms for us. Zee and the others talking with King Anarc, Samantha, and Antoine about what happened, while Vivi, Kiel, and I are playing with Silvia, Sinista, and Albert. It's night, and we just ate dinner. We continue our meditation to master Dark Arts.

2 months have passed, and we finally mastered Deceive. I haven't met Asa and Isha in my dream since that time. But I've been training extremely hard with Shive and Zee. Vivi slowly getting stronger in her physical strength. She has been training with Den for close combat and Secra for archery. Vivi also has been training with Tessera and Vex for dark spells and learn about summoning. I'm getting a lot of information, since living in the Demon King's castle. Antoine Clovernoire is called The First Prince by the people. He is managing the country with the demon lords, preventing unnecessary conflict and wars, also he will be the next Demon King. Samantha Clovernoire is called The Silver Flower by the people, because of her silver hair and her personality that keeps helping the people by listening to their problems every day, then she reported it to Antoine. They both are loved by the people, not because they're the son and daughter of the Demon King, but it's because of their own efforts. Shive is called The Hidden Princess by the people because she rarely shows herself, but the people admire and respect her, even the enemies. Shive is known as the strongest in the Underworld, she was very meritorious. Because of her, the Underworld became a peaceful world like today. Only a few rebellious countries keep making trouble.
