Brisha and Varian 'How it began'
---
Brisha Pov
Life was full of surprises and the latest surprise in my rather short life of just two hundred and bit more was even more full of surprises.
I was born around thirty years before the Devil Civil War started. Being from the branch house of Glasya-Labolas, there were no expectations on me thus there was never real pressure.
Even during the war, my brother had strongly rejected the idea of me going to war instead I was just learning well until-
I was forced to go to war during the surprise attack of Eligos.
I still feel chills thinking about that time, I had barely reached the peak of high class at that time. I regretted not taking my training seriously.
I was going to be kidnapped by the Heads of House Agalirepth and House Fleurety and just at that time Varian came.
His silver hair fluttering in the sky as he single-handedly managed to fend off the 200 elite troops that had managed to come to the Old Eligos Territory.
His fear had managed to knock almost a hundred of the elite troops, but it was still not enough, the other nobles had managed to retreat, and Varian also had the chance, but he stayed with me.
And when all hope was thought to be lost, my brother arrived and killed them all.
Everybody praised Varian and Falbium.
At that moment, wounded in battlefield. I wanted Varian to be by my side forever. I did not realize at first but soon realized, I loved him.
And to get acknowledged by him, I stepped onto the battlefield. My presence although was not necessarily war changing, I had risen above the ranks quickly.
And just 15 days after the surprise attack of Eligos. There was a meeting...

Flashback
I was also brought along with my brother in the meeting. I was just brought along as his aid.
"Don't worry, alright. It's just some stupid meeting." Falbium said and I nodded, although I was a bit nervous being in a meeting with the strongest devils the underworld had to offer.
We entered the dimly lit room. Blue flames lit the room.
'Extra'
I could not help but internally think. The room had many chairs for all the devils. In one side of the table stood a single chair, there sat- Zekram Bael.
The Great King.
On the other side of the table were four chairs for the four leaders of Anti-Satan Faction. The heroes of the war. Zekram Bael preferred to operate in the shadows. Using his political prowess and exceptional swaying abilities to make the four generals into heroes for next generation.
The other side had heads of many houses and among them I saw -Varian Beleth. The youngest head in the history of Devilkind, the Fear incarnate.
An ultimate-class devil, although not reaching the likes of the four generals. He was still on a different level.
Everyone had already arrived. We were the last one to arrive.
As all eyes were on us, Falbium confidently walked to his chair. I meekly followed him. Standing beside his chair.
"As late as always, Falbium." The head of Amon said but my brother merely yawned not giving him any mind.
"Let's start this meeting now."
Zekram Bael said, and the quiet room seemed to become quieter.
Everybody nodded and I instinctively nodded.
Zekram Bael continued-
"The surprise attack at Eligos had been a major Hinder sight. The secret paths left behind the Late Devil Kings was not something I knew or expected and for that I deeply apologize."
Zekram Bael bowed a little. It was surprising and something I did not expect. The arrogant Bael bowing although just a light bow but then I realized-
I had never firsthand seen Zekram Bael act arrogant and haughty, maybe that is why the four generals, and all these heads here respected him?
"No harm is done, Lord Bael. Your plan to craft the four generals into heroes of the underworld is working perfectly. There are no major supporters of the Old Satan Factions in the general public. Although I must say, the war now has to end." Varian Beleth said in a calm and controlled voice. There were no hesitations in his voice even though he was the youngest here.
My heart fluttered a bit.
"What Lord Beleth is saying is right, Lord Bael. The war is going on for too much. Even the house of Beleth is nearing extinction, Lord Beleth is the sole member of his clan. We all know defeating the Old Devil Faction is not the matter of whether we can or not it's about when."
The head of Paimon clan said, looking at the two strongest devils. Ajuka Astaroth and Sirzechs Lucifer. They were a class even above Serafall Sitiri and my brother. They were anomalies.
But why is he bringing Beleth clan's status? Then it hit me, Paimon clan had an unwed high-class female.
'Don't tell me?'
I realized his ploy.
The Great Devil King nodded.
"Yes, the devil civil war will be ending soon. All plans I have made have been completed. We will be launching an attack at Lucifaad tomorrow. General Sirzechs, General Ajuka and Genral Serafall will be heading this attack."
Most of the heads gasped and I too.
The war was going to end tomorrow. The war that seemed to be going on for eternity now.
It was nothing compared to what we would hear next-
"And with the war ending, there will be need of new leaders for the Devils and for that I propose-The four generals to be crowned the new Devil Kings, each inheriting the title of the previous heads."
HOLY SHIT-
Everybody widened their eyes except the Great King and the Four Generals.
"Are you sure about that, Lord Bael?"
"The new Devil Kings?"
..
.... And countless such question came but Zekram Bael merely nodded.
"Everything that is said here must remain a secret." Zekram Bael ordered and everybody reluctantly nodded. Soon the talks became more political as the repercussion of such actions were analyzed and questions were asked but the Bael only directed their questions towards the...new Devil Kings.
I could not help but glance at my brother, a genius but a lazy one. He was so lazy that he cut off his hair and became bald because he thought managing hair was a hassle.
He would be one of the new leaders...?
But I knew I was only looking at him through personal lens, he was very capable, and I knew it.
'Go! Falbium!' I internally cheered for my brother.
Then the topics soon shifted to many 72 pillars and their extinct status and how House of Beleth was also treading the fine line.
"There is a beautiful girl in one of my branch houses. I think you have met her, Lord Beleth?" And just as I predicted, Paimon head offered.
I knew the girl- She was beautiful and very capable. Although quite weak, she was a scholar...but I was better, Hmph!
"I have met her, and I don't think she is suitable for me." Varian said.
'Hehe yes!'
"Then what about a girl from my clan?" This time it was Lord Phenex.
'Shit no way. Phenex were rich and they were beautiful as well. Most devils were beautiful, but I was beautiful as well.'
"No, I don't think she is suitable either. Even though I have never met her." Varian denied once again.
'Let's go!'
Slowly suggestions came, and I became more nervous, but Varian rejected them all.
"Are you planning to be single forever?" Lord Gremory asked with a laugh. He was one of the heads that had not made any offer to Varian. Among them there was Agares, Sitiri and even my own clan-Glasya-Labolas.
The reason the head of our clan could not make offers were because, the only girl available would be me and Flabium would never allow the head to offer me.
"No, I am not." Varian replied to Gremory Head.
"Then what about my sister?" One of the generals-Flabium asked...Wait his sister? Me!?
A blush appeared but I quickly hid it. I could feel everybody's gaze at me.
'Falbium! What the hell are you saying?' I telepathically said to Falbium.
'You think I did not notice your gaze at Vaira? Hehe~ Don't worry sis, your brother got it' He telepathically replied.
'What if he reject-
Before I could complete my sentence to Falbium, I heard Varian's reply.
"Sure. I will marry her, only if she is fine though?
"Yes" I subconsciously replied.
CLAP
My mind short-circuited.
"Go, girl "
I heard Serafall's voice, and I also heard Falbium's voice 'Said so'
---
'And that was how I was arranged to marry Varian.'
I looked at my now husband, our love growing in my stomach. He smiled feeling my gaze at him.
TURL
...I still get butterflies seeing his smile.
