Lia:- "Hmmm....... Hmmmmmmm...."
Suzaku:- "Master why do you look so worried?"
Lia:- "Why won't I be worried Suzaku? The royal family is suddenly holding a meeting! Not just that, I am invited in it too. Until know I was ignored completely, but suddenly they call me for lunch and in such a rude way!"
Suzaku:- "Is that what truly troubles you? "
Lia:- "Of course not! The fact that the girls are planning something behind my back is what scares me the most. I hope they won't make me wear some frilly, flashy and embarrassing dress."
Albert:- "Well all we can do is pray in this situation, Master."
Lia:- "I didn't feel so helpless even when I faced of against 'Ancient Dragon of Death' after defeating its army of ghouls! I am not exaggerating!"
Diana:- "Oh master~"
Lia:- "Kyaa... I mean ahem. What is it Diana?"
The generals present were trying their best not to laugh over the cute shout and face that their master made. However they were also troubled by a strange awkward feeling, seeing Lucifer as Lia.
Diana:- "Could you come here for a second?"
Lia:- "Yeah, why no..not? Suzaku, lead the way!"
Lia/Lucifer was sitting on a wheelchair as his body had taken too much of damage in yesterday's battle. Lia/Lucifer went along with Diana all the while thinking that his greatest fear might come true. However to his surprise, Diana led him to an empty room where he saw clothes which can even make the emperor's clothes look ordinary
Lia:- "Amazing!"
Lucy:- "Glad you like it master! This will be what you will wear for the lunch tomorrow."
Titania:- "We worked the whole day to complete this."
Theresa:- "Glad you like it master, we wanted to make you the best clothes however we didn't have enough time and only had golden cotton thread."
(This material 'golden cotton thread' is considered a nation class treasure. It has the ability to nullify all magic attacks and 50% of physical attacks.)
Kurumi:- "Don't worry about the size master, we have made it according to your measurements."
Lia:- "Oh great! Ah, wait... when did you guys take my measurements? "
On hearing this everyone, they quickly averted their gaze and started to whistle. All Lucifer could do was a face palm.
Lia:- "Never mind, I will forgive you this time. I love these clothes! Proud of you all. I was scared for nothing."
As soon as the words left Lia/Lucifer's mouth, the general's eyes shone.
Diana:- "Master, so ahem. Who are you talking with you to the lunch tomorrow. It is obviously me right? I was the one who designed this after all!"
Kurumi:- "No way, I was the one who made the materials available, so the obvious choice is me!"
Lucy:- "Nonsense, I was the one who did the stitching, it was because of my skills this became so beautiful and as master's caretaker it is my duty to accompany him."
Titania:- "My fairies were the one that ensured that the whole process went smoothly plus I can't leave my student in your hands. Who knows what you might do to him? or her? Which ever it is!"
Theresa:- "I am a dragon princess who is well versed in politics. I kept Diana under control and ensured the clothes maintained elegant and formal air. Plus I can help master deal with does annoying nobles. "
Lia:- "So that was the reason ha? Don't need to fight I have already decided who will accompany me. And Theresa, good job!"
Dexter:- "Who might they be master?"
The remaining of the generals had arrived. All the 8 of them looked at Lucifer with twinkling eyes. As if begging him to choose them.
Lia:- "Lucy, Kurumi and Suzaku. You three. "
The three lucky ones stood with their hands raised in a fist, showing the sign of victory.
"Victory!"
The rest sat facing the ground with a face of disbelief.
"Defeated!"
Lia:- "Well then good night. Theresa as a reward for keeping Diana under control, I shall allow you to be my tonight's body guard."
By that it meant Theresa is allowed to sleep in the same room as Lia/Lucifer.(room not bed, my dear dirty minded readers)
Theresa:- "I lost the battle but won the war!"
The next morning Lucifer/Lia woke up, with Theresa who sneaked into his/her bed at night and started to prepare for lunch, on the other hand...

It was due to her intervention that nobody tried to hurt Lia after she shifted palaces.
Lily:- "I heard sister Lia will be attending today's lunch. Is it true father?"
Antony:- "It is true. The matter at hand is of great importance after all, I hope the rest of you will behave. The grand duke and some other important figures will be joining us today"
Lucas:- "Just thinking of seeing that Lia makes me feel nauseous. That pathetic thing."
Lucario:- "I agree. "
Lola:- "Come on brothers, we are family. Please treat her well this time!"
Lily:- "I can't wait for her return, my favourite toy."
Lucifer in the mansion felt shivers in his spine. The time of lunch grew closer .
All the royal family members were present except for Lia. Grand Duke Victor along with the kid Hector were also present. It was confirmed at the ceremony that Hector has been chosen as the hero.
Antony:- "Victor is that the kid you were talking about?"
Victor:- "Yes your majesty. We have confirmed that he is the hero. "
Lucas:- "You can believe it father, I saw his bravery myself. He truly has a noble soul. "
On hearing the complement from the second person lead to Hector shying away.
Lucario:- "Lily, any information on the mysterious person who took the Orc King down?"
Lily:- "Well to everyone's surprise, none."
Antony:- "I see,..."
Suddenly the huge door of the dinning hall opened and seven people entered. Out of them three of them wore very strange clothes. The other four were the Elf queen Aria, Dwarf king Pagma, the Demi-human king Levin and fairy Queen Mavis.

His words can't be ignored even by the demon lord. Due to Mavis's blessings his life has increased by a 1000 years. However old age has still affected him.
The three strangely dressed people followed behind them.
The Regalia family stood up and greeted Pagma and the rest. Everyone sat in their places, later the three strangers were asked to sit somewhere on the table.
Antony:- "Who are these strange people sir Pagma?"
Levin:- "Even we will like to know that."
Lucario:- "Wait they weren't with you? "
Aria:- "The one who brought them here are sir Pagma and mother Mavis."
???:- "Well you aren't the only ones who wants to know that."
One of the three strangers spoke.
???:- "Exactly, we ourselves are quite lost right now, the last thing we remember is being at our favourite restaurant and eating(A happy meal!)"
Lola:- "Happy meal? You mean to say you were eating happily?"
???:- "No... Wait you don't know what happy meal is...McD? I knew something was wrong. This medieval area setup, these clothes, even the animals are strange here! "
Mavis:- "Yes, you are correct. This isn't your world. Welcome to our world of (ETERNALIA)!"
Suddenly the doors opened and someone entered the dinning hall. The last person who was to be there had arrived.
Lia:- "Sorry, it took some time to find the way here. Jeez why must all mansions be like a maze."
The first princess Lia Regalia, behind her three people. Suzaku, Kurumi and Lucy. The two boys among the strangers were completely mesmerized by her beauty. The clothes she wore weren't some dress or fancy gown, she entered in something close to 'men's wear altered for women'. Her looks even made the female other worlder's heart skip a beat.
Lia:- "I hope you won't find my attire offending, I was never told a dress code you see. I suppose that is my sit? Well if you might excuse me. Hmm.. An interesting bunch indeed. Pleasure to meet you. Sir Pagma, Aria, Mother Mavis and Levin. "
Lily:- "How dare you address them in such a casual manner! I apologize for your behaviour to sir and ma'am."
Pagma:- "So you are the rumoured, first princess Lia?"
Lia:- "Yes, that happens to be my name. I am honoured that you knew my name. Oh, who are these people?"
Tony Marks- "Let me introduce us, as everyone here seems to have the same question. I go by the name 'Tony Marks'. I along with my friends belong to a country called America".
Tony:- "This white haired person is my best friend 'Max Rider' and the girl there is my childhood friend.."
'Anastasia Beverly'. We belong to another world called Earth. It seems due to reasons we have been brought to this world."
Mavis:- "Yes, that is the case and I managed to find them due to a dream I had yesterday. They are important people if we want to defeat the demon lord. "
Anastasia:- "Wow, demon lord? Isn't it supposed to be only in story books? Well going to another world was also supposed to be in story book...ha ha ha. "
Lily:- "All of you have last names, but don't behave like nobles at all. "
Max:- "Well you see, PRINCESS, we come from a land were not having a last name is weird."
The man called Max Rider seemed like a rude person and ended up being one too! Anastasia Beverly seemed to be like a spoiled princess and Tony Marks looked like a cheerful and carefree person.
Antony:- "That not the point"
While all the discussions were going on Lucifer/Lia sat down and the food was brought in. While everyone was busy talking, Lucifer/Lia started eating and watching them, as if he/she had come to see a play. Everyone in the room soon noticed his actions.
Max:- "Well someone was talking about us not having manners, but her own sister doesn't seem to be good at it either."[with a smug on his face.]
Levin:- "You, Antony I hope you don't mind."
Antony:- "I.... Let's not do anything extreme Levin."
Levin:- "You truly are a fool of a father, ha?"
But all the while Lucifer continued to eat. Levin lost his cool and jumped towards Lucifer/Lia, but was stopped by Suzaku.
Suzaku:- "Sorry, I can't allow you to disturb my Master's meal."
He then threw the beast king to the other side of the table. Even though Levin was not using weapons throwing him across was indeed quite a feat.
Lia:- "Well, sorry about that but I was invited for lunch and not gossip you see. I haven't really eaten anything since morning so I was hungry. Forgive my rudeness."
Everyone was shocked. Levin was over powered so easily, but more than that they were surprised by Lia's behaviour. Even Hector and Victor who had remained silent until now couldn't help but gasp in shock over what a mess this meeting was turning into.
