- POV Freya -

I could hear the birds singing the coming of the sun as I slowly awoke, feeling my body strangely heavier than usual. Opening my eyes slowly, I instantly understood where this crushing sensation was coming from. Smiling, I took the time to observe the scene in front of me, while remembering the events of last night.

We were all on the big bed in the imperial room and I was standing in the middle, surrounded by my treasures. Shiro had fallen asleep on my left arm, her head resting on my shoulder and sucking her thumb while she hugged her Lily doll. Kira had fallen asleep on my left leg and of course close to Shiro. The position she was sleeping in was adorable as she was curled up like a little fox.

Her three tails wrapped around her that my little sister held with tenderness as if it was a stuffed animal. In the end, they looked very much alike because despite the age difference, they were at that moment, the two cutest beings. The first two Princesses of Elysium, sleeping peacefully, beautiful, radiant, adorable and above all happy because both had a big smile on their sleeping face.

Gaya was on my right, also curled up in my direction and just like my little moon, her head was on my right arm. However, between us, as if protected by our two bodies, were our son and daughter. We had spent all night looking for names and Kira, Shiro and Gaya finally let me suggest two that seemed more than appropriate.

So, my son was named Tyle and my daughter was named Altaïs. The little Prince and Princess of the Empire were named after two stars, which everyone thought was perfect. They slept peacefully, also holding their thumbs, lulled by my wife's soft snoring. It was the quietest of mornings and although completely stuck, surrounded by my family...I was smiling.

*I still can't believe that...that all this is real. Is this a dream ? Am I going to wake up when I seem to have reached the peak of happiness ? Haha~ Freya poor thing, I think joy is making you lose your mind fufu~*

I was the only one awake, and as I looked at them all one by one, never looking away, my mind wandered. Ever since Kira and I left the crypt, everything had happened so fast that I still couldn't believe it. Yesterday I was underground, with the wet, cold, dark and bloody smell and today I had become a sandwich for my two daughters, my son, my little sister and my wife.

*Life is full of surprises fufu~*

As I looked at them for several minutes with a smile on my face, it was slowly disappearing as this happiness reminded me of what it meant. The night we had spent was one of the sweetest, most wonderful nights, filled with emotion and love. However, I had not forgotten everything I had to do today and what we all had to prepare for.

I didn't have time to spend much time with my family because in order to protect them, I had to immerse myself in my duties as Empress. Gaya and I hadn't talked about what had happened in the crypt or about Shiro, the human army, or her...little brother. On top of all that, I had to be ready to welcome the Commanders who must have evolved and check a whole bunch of changes in my status.

*Sigh...so much to do, over and over again*

It was still very early and if everything went as planned, the Commanders and the rest of the soldiers would arrive in a few hours. This gave me time to do some checks and gain time. I couldn't give myself my 600 points because that would wake up the others but what I could do was look at my new skills for the very first time.

- PING -

[Death Gaze (lvl 1) - A unique skill possessed by Lucifer that is activated by eye contact. When activated, the target will lose all senses and will be plunged into a nightmare where he/she will experience 10 times the death he/she defines as the most atrocious. The illusion varies according to the individual and can cause madness or death depending on the mental strength of the target. Possibilities of evolution of the capacities at the same time as the levels - Consumes 10 000 MP - Be careful, skill to be used with a lot of caution, only working if the target fears you ! ]

I scanned the few lines in front of me and the further I got to the end the more shocked I was. This new skill was a torture skill and one that was very dangerous. The reason the system took the time to say this was because this warning was not to be taken lightly. After all, what would happen if I stared at someone by mistake or what were the real side effects of this skill ?

It was as scary as it was exciting, and I couldn't help but read those few lines over and over again. Although I was eager to try it, it was also easy to understand that it was not a skill to be used excessively. It was in the "attack and defense" section and should be used as a last resort. It was like a secret weapon to get me out of an unpleasant situation.

*Only works if the target fears you. I mustn't forget this detail, which seems insignificant but is one of the most important points*

Closing the Death Gaze information page, I opened the one about Healing Blood this time. Unlike the first skill, I already had an idea of what it did because I had used it in the crypt. However, I didn't have the time to read the system's information and so I discovered its page for the first time. A window opened in front of me, which I began to read silently.

[Healing Blood (lvl 2) : Unique skill possessed by Lucifer that can only be activated if the host is injured. Allows you to use blood that has been spilled nearby to heal bodily wounds. The higher the level of the skill, the more effective and faster it is. Does not work on other individuals yet - Beware, at this stage the host must remain motionless to make it work ! ]

*Mmmh, this fits perfectly with what I experienced in the pantheon with Kira. It's an individual healing skill that thankfully doesn't spend MP. However, in return I can't move if I want to use it...mmh pretty fair*

As I closed the window in front of me once again, I looked down at my body. I was dressed in a simple white t-shirt and some sort of comfortable jogging suit for the night, much more than clothes made of ice. Lifting my top slightly as I grabbed my collar with my teeth without waking the little ones and Gaya, I observed. Three huge scars resembling scratches ran across half of my belly, giving a new look to my abs.

*Sigh...well I hope Gaya won't be too mad at me for that. I left without any injuries and come back with two maybe permanent marks...*

This time I turned my head to my left arm that had been taken hostage by Shiro and as I smiled I also looked at the scar on that arm. The acid that the snake had thrown at me had eaten away at my arm and without the ice that I had formed to protect it, I didn't know what would have happened to it. My arm was no longer white and pristine but now had scars in the shape of symbols running from the middle of my forearm to the middle of my bicep.

*I'm going to have to put some bandages on this left arm to hide these burn marks that aren't so bad after all*

I found it rather imposing because they represented the hard fight I had led and if these scars were not going to disappear I was ready to wear them proudly. However, I didn't want to worry Shiro and the others because although they were big, they were also scary because my arm looked like it had been carved with a glowing knife. For some unknown reason, I preferred to hide them.

*No one has seen these scars yet, Gaya and Shiro fell asleep before I got changed and I think it's for the best*

As my thoughts wandered I closed my eyes, resting my head on my ear to enjoy this peaceful moment once again. It had been so long since I had relaxed in this way and to be sure it felt good. As I breathed calmly, enjoying the quiet, something suddenly came to tickle the tip of my nose.

Opening my eyes to see what was going on, I could see a fluffy, silver tail swinging in front of my face. Shifting my head slightly, behind the tail was Kira looking at me with a machiavellian smile on her face. My little sister was awake and for some reason was tickling my nose with one of her three tails.

The sensation was horrible because the more she touched me, the more I wanted to sneeze. I moved my head but each time Kira followed the movement to catch me. She had a big smile, her freckles and dimples were showing and her fangs were shining with the first light of the sun. My little sister seemed to be having fun and taking advantage of the fact that I couldn't move my arms to annoy me.

*Kira, what are you doing ? I-It's unpleasant, what's wrong with you ?*

[Mwhaha~ onee-san you are blocked ! How lucky I am to have woken up to discover with satisfaction that my dear big sister had her arms blocked by her sweet wife and adorable daughter pffhaha~]

As she said these words, Kira sent a second tail to caress my face, this time with more vigor. The urge to sneeze was getting stronger and stronger and as I gritted my teeth, Kira's laughter echoed in my mind. My little sister knew exactly what she was doing and I didn't even know why.

[Onee-saaan~ remember that flick you gave me the first time ? I think it's a fitting punishment fufu~ now that I have a body, I can mess with you too hihi~]

*Kira you...you're going to make me wake up ev...everyone !*

[Oh~? Does the Great Goddess Lucifer have a weakness for tickling ? hihi~]

I didn't know how I got into such a situation, but what was certain was that Kira seemed to be enjoying the moment. I had my arms locked in a cross, unable to move and my leg was held hostage by the one who was torturing me. I tried to shake my foot slightly to prevent her from continuing but nothing helped. I felt the tingling in my nose getting stronger and stronger as I ended up sneezing loudly.

"ACHOO !!!"

At that moment, Kira's little joke made the room go from peaceful silence to sudden chaos. Sneezing, I had obviously moved suddenly, waking up Gaya and Shiro abruptly while the sound of my sneeze woke up the twins. Baby cries were now echoing in the room as my little moon and my wife began to ask questions half asleep and panicked.

"WAAAAAA !!!"

"Fre-Freya...what...what's going on ?"

"M-Mommy ! You...you scared me ! W-Why did you do that ?"

In this chaos, the only one who was giggling was Kira, who was obviously responsible for this situation. Despite Tyle and Altaïs's screams, Gaya's confusion and Shiro's sulky, sleepy little face, I wasn't angry. To be honest, a smile came over my face as I lunged at my little sister at a speed that prevented her from acting. I then grabbed her neck with my arm, blocking her head to vigorously ruffle her hair.

"So you're in a teasing mood today huh ? Perfect little sister, if you want to play we'll play fufu~"

"O-Onee-san don't come out with that line you say every time you go to kill someone and w-waiiit ! I-It was a joke, just a jooooo...don't...noooo !"

Kira struggled but couldn't escape my grip and while I enjoyed every second of my revenge, the cries of the babies kept ringing in our ears. Then suddenly, chills ran down my spine as I felt a pair of eyes watching us.

"Ahem...ahem..."

My wife was sitting on the bed, rocking the twins with her arms to calm them while looking at us with frowns. Kira and I were looking at each other with eyes that seemed to whisper "oops" as I let go of her. Kneeling on the big bed with our hands on our knees, my little sister and I were silent as Gaya finally spoke up while keeping her eyebrows furrowed.

"Freya you seem to be having a good time, don't you ? Why don't you come and take care of your children instead of playing. And you Kira, go tell Irrena that we'll be having breakfast soon since you seem to want to let off steam."

"Y-Yes sorry !"

"Mmh, sorry Gaya, I'll be right there !"

We both knew that Gaya wasn't really angry, but when the dragoness sounded like that, we had to listen. For some reason, I was the most powerful, but when my wife's voice sounded like that, my hair stood on end. So the day had just begun and even though the next few days would probably be the hardest, we were going to enjoy our family.

[N/A: So, for the little explanation Tyl(e) and Altais are the names of two stars belonging to the constellation of the dragon (Draconis). I definitely wanted to give the twins names related to the stars so I spent hours researching the night and its secrets fufu~ They may sound weird to you, too simple or not fitting but personally I am very proud of them]
