Announcement
The bowl tilted to the side where there was no stone. Seeing this, I jumped up from my knees and began to jump and rejoice.
I can develop the ability of mother's house.
Many doors instantly opened before me. I looked at mother and saw that she was also happy. How did I understand this? She jumped and screamed just like me, then turned to me and hugged me screaming.
"Well done, I always knew you were a genius. Hahaha, how happy I am."
Soon we told father about this and in honor of this event, it was decided to have a feast. I sat in the room with Grayfia while the maids worked on us. Sister turned to me and asked.
"Was it difficult, sister? I asked mother, but she said to ask you. I also want to awaken mother's ability."
And she looked at me with her big eyes. From such a picture, I froze for a minute, but pulled myself together and said.
"It was really hard, I almost passed out three times. I think you should wait a little while before awakening your powers."
I said honestly, and Grayfia thought about it.
"Hmm, I'll try my best and become like my sister."
She said resolutely and clenched her hand into a fist. I was amused by such determination and decided to warm it up.
"If you can awaken, I'll teach you a cool technique."
"Really?"
"I swear. Ouch, that hurts."
Damn words, how painful. At this time, the power of the heavenly system has not weakened that much, and many words related to god cause headaches.
"Hehehe, sister is so stupid, she always says bad words. Where did you learn that?" Damn.
"Ehhh, it doesn't matter. Why didn't it hurt you?"
"Sarah covered my ears."
Grayfia said with a sly smile and half-closed eyes.
"It's not fair why Leina didn't stop me." I say and look at my maid with hostility.
"Mistress, mistakes must be lived through to the end."
At these words, everyone in the room laughed. And you can't say that everyone here is a devil. Father organized a truly royal banquet. The table was bursting with food and drinks.
The whole castle celebrated and danced. For our family, this is joy. Since we do not have our own "Kekei-genkai" The birth of a devil with a clan ability is a real treasure.
Although in my opinion, it is better to hide this news. Who will conceive a child when the parents are happy? That's right, no one. It's the same story here. At that moment, a teleportation circle appeared in the center of the hall. I, like everyone else in the hall, immediately recognized this circle and my eyes almost flew out of their sockets.
A second later, Lucifer appeared before us. Everyone in the hall sighed before holding their breath. No one expected Lucifer here, although he was sent an invitation as required by tradition. He very rarely appears at such local events.
Everyone thought they were just paying tribute to tradition by inviting him. Suddenly he appeared here.
"Greetings to everyone, I'm glad I received the invitation."
The maid, on trembling legs, brought him a glass of champagne, after which Lucifer took the glass and raised it in the air.
"I would like to congratulate the heiress of the Lucifuges on this momentous occasion. Of course, she is not as talented as my son."
At this statement, everyone fell silent, and my father stood and nodded with a smile. Moron! I felt my eyes darken with anger. His fucking son, Rezevan Lucifer. He was never strong and everyone understood it, but then suddenly he became some kind of genius.
This is his son from his first wife. He killed her right after giving birth to him for giving birth to such a disappointment. I look at my mother and see that she is as furious as I am.
"But that's not important now! Alfia Lucifuge, study hard, because we'll need your powers in the future. I've decided to make it official. We're going to attack the heavens."
And he burst into a disgusting giggle. And the room was silent. I knew it would happen. That's what started the civil war. They'd just shot themselves in the leg.
"I know it's unexpected, but don't worry. I'll be personally responsible for this war. We'll be preparing for it for the next 2 centuries. That's why I'm entrusting House Lucifuge with an important task. To prepare a capable fighter who can guard us. The higher demons of the underworld. The Satanists. I'll end my speech here. Look to the future with pride, we as devils must show the full essence of darkness. Kill, rape, commit genocide. The entire race will be proud of you. With that, I'll take my leave."
And he left through the teleportation circle. After he left, there was a roar and some were screaming with joy, some were scared. But for the most part, everyone took the news positively. My father came up to me and said.
"Daughter, you see what hopes Mr. Lucifer has placed in us, we cannot let him down. I hope that you will do your best in training. I will also send Grayfia with you."
With that, he left. And I sat down and began to think. It was strange that he did not call some kind of meeting and solemnly announce this. Lucifer doubts our loyalty?
Otherwise, why would he come here. By making this statement here, he clearly shows the entire underworld that the Lucifuges support him in this decision.
Of course, everyone knows that he is crazy. But if I tell the truth, then everyone will most likely believe my version. What does he want ?
I have no doubt that the entire criminal world will hear his statement. There were many invited guests here. And I have no doubt that they are talking about it everywhere. While I was absorbed in my thoughts, my mother came up to me. There was no longer any talk of a holiday. She said with a smile.
"Well, go to bed, your training will begin tomorrow."
I can't tell her mood from her voice. Tomorrow is a really important day for me. I can't think about the future until I can change it myself. As they say in anime, the training arc begins.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I made a little mistake and didn't understand what I wanted to do. In the end, Lucifer is canon, everything is ok. To be honest, I still didn't understand where to move the plot, but after this chapter, options began to emerge. I think that in the next chapters we need to make a time skip, but for this we need more chapters for the introduction. In general, according to the most modest estimates, there are 10 chapters before the time skip.
