Pleiades:...Is there a "no" option?
???: Hm...I don't see why you wouldn't want to be my most treasured slave. It's quite the honor, you know.
He boredly raised an eyebrow at the "devil" infront of him. He sighed as he got up and jumped down and put his hand against the wall while she was stuck between Pleiades and the wall.
Or in other words. "Kabedon." Well, maybe not exactly that as he didn't slap his hand against the wall with much force behind it, but it was close enough.
He then gave the queen a flirty smile as he spoke.
Pleiades: You could also come with me and help me with general administration along with several other important political tasks like, marketing, finance and potential slander of other political rivals, especially if their name begins with "P" and end with "riscilla."
......
???: W....Was that an attempt at flirting?
She had an expressionless face as she stared at Pleiades.
He lost his flirty smile in an instant as he put his head down and almost lost all strength in his body at her expressionless expression.
Pleiades: Would you believe me if I said that when I usually smile at a girl, they tend to listen to me for some reason?
The queen infront of him chuckled and brought her left hand up, put it on his cheek and lifted his head up so that their eyes met.
???: Oh, it is quite believable. You've got such a handsome face that most girls might just want to marry you on the spot.
She put her hand down as she leaned more against the wall behind her.
???: Actually, what was that about...Poltitics? Almost sounds like you're involved in Lugunican politics.
Well, if he was going to tell them about his position as a Royal Canditate, now was the time to do it.
Pleiades: You see...I'm actually a Royal Canditate that's going to be the potential future king.
Her only reaction was a look that screamed "I don't believe you" more than anything else.
Pleiades pulled something out of one of his pockets.
It was the same insignia that Emilia had when Felt stole it from her a while ago.
She stared at the glowing insignia for a moment before her eyes went wide and for a moment her "queen" attitude disappeared and was replaced with pure shock.
???: Well would you look at that...
She stayed like that for another second or two before she seemingly returned to her queen like attitude.
???: That is quite interesting, but why ask me for help? Don't get me wrong, I'd be the best option for any kind of position.
The red eyed canditate rolled his eyes.
???: But it is rather...Strange for you to ask a total stranger, who you have no idea of what capabilities she has to work that kind of job?
He really wanted to comment on the fact that it was quite contradictory for her to say that, since she offered him to be her SLAVE. But he didn't comment on it in hopes that he wouldn't anger her.
Pleiades: You see...My options may be a bit...Limited due to my name.
She smirked as she spoke.
???: Ah, yes. The "captured" Sin Archbishop of Pride. Pleiades. Almost couldn't believe it when I heard about it. But I suppose they were wrong and now your public image will be ruined when the election starts.
Rather than staying in the "kabedon" position, she lightly pushed Pleiades back and did a reverse kabedon against Pleiades on the desk.
???: Now tell me, why should I. The CEO of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar help you? While our standing with Lugunica is better due to our lack of public appearance, along with the fact that we didn't partake in the Demi-Human war. We'd be slandered due to our involvement with you.
Pleiades: Umm...You see...
He had a small blush on his face due to Lucifer's reverse kabedon. But suddenly his face went blank and he stared Lucifer straight in the eye.
Pleiades: The fucking WHAT war?
She looked unsure on how to respond due to the sudden and strange reaction of Pleiades, but quickly his face went back to normal as he figured that he'll read about that later while sarcasticly muttering to himself about how he'll enjoy being even more disappointed with how this country is run.
He also couldn't help but to think about the irony of the DEVIL herself being unsure of helping him due to his reputation.
He'll also need to remember to ask about the whole rather modern "CEO" business she was talking about.
Pleiades: To answer your question. Other than the fact I have more common sense than the average person due to my more advanced education in Japan, I plan to-
Lucifer: You're from Japan?!
.....Seriously, was him telling these demon girls about Japan somekind of switch to make everything easy mode in convincing them to listen to him? Just what was their past relation with others like him?
Actually, it's a good thing she didn't let him finish about his plans of policies...Since he didn't have any since he needs to learn the whole proper history of Lugunica and the economic system along with other things to make these policies.
Seriously...It's difficult for him to think straight with her reverse-kabedon still currently happening.
Pleiades: I can also offer you...Pancakes...?
He made a mental note to fix this behaviour when infront of Lucifer again. He's starting to lose his touch since he can't fully think straight and is now saying random bullshit.
She looked to the side with a small blush on her face, but still managed to confidently say...
Lucifer: You're lucky I have a thing for pancakes and don't know how to make them myself. I'll help you, for now.
Honestly, why bother thinking about how this even fucking worked? If it works, it works. That's what Pleiades figured atleast. He's had enough of being here anyway.
Well, despite the strangeness that has occured and how this all turned out...You could say that this was a...
GLORIUS SUCCESS!
Anyway, now with Lucifer and the other girls in tow. He had the time to ask some questions as they'd have to walk all the way up with only the stairs...There were nine floors and each had a long staircase, which wasn't a problem when walking down...But walking all the way up would be a pain, but atleast he'd have time to ask questions.
Pleiades: So...What's this whole "CEO" thing about?
Lucifer: "Queen" is quite old fashioned. Isn't it? I should keep up with the times, shouldn't I?
Um...She does realize that this is still the medieval era, magical or not. She's actually going ahead of time by about 300 to 400 years, but he wouldn't be the one to burst her bubble, he didn't want to be the one.
Pleiades: Ah, I just remembered. Pandemonica, thanks for showing me around this place, you were really helpful.
She nodded.
Pandemonica: It's fine, how would you rate this service out of ten?
With barely any thought he answered the question honestly.
Pleiades: I'd give a ten out of ten.
Pandemonica: Woah...Never got a ten before...
She seemed fairly happy out of Pleiades's ten out of ten rating as she wrote something down on her notepad.
Still, he kind of wished that Modeus stopped hugging his arm as it's making the journey upwards just a bit more difficult. Then again, it's this or her smashing his kneecaps and having nonconsensual sex right on this cold hard ground. So he supposed that he'd just have to deal with it for now.
Another one of his hopes was that Cerberus would tire herself (or is it themselves?) out.
He did also take note on how much Lucifer and Justice seemed to be talking to one another. Perhaps they have some history with eachother.
Justice: So, what are we gonna do once we go outside?
Stopping right before walking up to the third floor, Pleiades turned to all of the demon girls he had in tow as he suddenly remembered something.
Pleiades: That does remind me. Are there any skills you guys are even half decent at? Preferably anything relating to politics.
The first one to speak up was Pandemonica.
Pandemonica: I can handle most jobs like accounting, customer service, handle files, sort them out, fill them in, finance, etc.
Pleiades nodded in satisfaction as he turned his head towards Lucifer.
Lucifer: Naturally, since i've been handeling hell in a similar manner to an actual nation...Even if it's a small one, I am quite well versed in handeling everything important in politics.
Once again Pleiades nodded before turning towards Justice, although she, Modeus and Cerberus answered at the same time.
Justice: Training!
Cerberus: Hit and run!
Modeus: Fuck me!
He face palmed as he saw that Cerberus and Modeus were completely useless. Atleast he's be able to get stronger with training, since when you consider how many times he's been attacked in the last week, it sounds like a decent investment.
Pleiades: In terms of it...None of you will have to work much for the next one and a half month. Since the election only starts there, so you'll get the time to familiarize yourselfs within the estate I currently live in.
He then sighed as he turned to start walking up the stairs.
Pleiades: I'll now need to learn everything about Lugunica along with dealing with you lot, so atleast try to behave, alright?
The devil herself gave a loud "Ha!" As she flicked her hair to make herself seem more dramatic.
Lucifer: Who do you think you're talking to? I naturally know how to show proper beha-
Pleiades: I was reffering to Cerberus and Modeus.
Cerberus: Eeeeehhhhh?!
Modeus:....So...No se-
Pleiades: No sex. Please shut the fuck up about it.
She pouted, but continued to hug his arm as she angrily walked along side him.
*later*
......
Pleiades:....
Reinhard:....
Pleiades: Now I know that I may or may not have informed you about my whereabouts, but...
Kelly: He's been looking for you for the last four hours.
She certainly didn't sound pleased as he had a whole gang of demon girls behind him. Funnily enough she seems more pissed than Reinhard it, and that is to say that he doesn't even look angry, just relieved.
Pleiades: In my defence, I didn't think that I would be away for so long.
Flora: U-Um...Kelly-san? Maybe...We shouldn't b-blame Pleiades-sama like this...?
Kelly sighed as she took a look at the demon girls behind Pleiades.
Kelly: If I may ask...Why is that one trying to have intercourse with Reinhard-sama?
Pleiades glanced in Reinhard's direction as he was trying his best to tell Modeus that he wasn't interested in the nicest way possible, which only made Modeus want to do it with him more. Flora seemed to be really embarrased about it for some reason, as if just watching them made her embarrased.
He bluntly replied.
Pleiades: Whore.
Kelly:...That is awfully blunt.
Pleiades: But very much true.
