Chapter 13: Peerage Expansion Part 3
DAY AFTER Location the Underworld, the Bael Territory: Belladonna's Mansion, Laharl's Room
It was fun party last night. He and his girls partied, and dance to the late hours of the night. Getting so tired that they crashed out on the bed, as Laharl woke up under the purple covers of his bed, with Kyoko unmasked and beautiful snuggling to his right, and Ruby was sleeping to his left, with her arm over his chest and she has a lovely sleeping face. Seeing no way out the situation, Laharl, he just yawned, mentally shrugged and went back to sleep...
After a couple of hours, the trio woke up and went about their day. Kyoko sowing with Miss Marron that wanted to teach her a new sowing technique, Ruby after getting a large breakfast, she'd went to the training field to work-out for a couple of hours. Ohh but before they did those things, they gave a kiss to their lover Laharl, and thanked him for a amazing night. He smiled and was happy that his girls enjoyed themselves. As for what he did for the day, he decided to spent time with his mom. They talked, and he even showed her some songs that she'll love, since apart gushing and teasing him about him being a romantic like his dad. She did mentioned she'd adored Geoge Michael's Careless Whisper, and even the song that went after that "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M, what can he say his mom and dad of his previous life had good taste in music and passed those taste to him. So they went to what he didn't expect a music room with various instruments, including a elegant black piano, turns out his mom, Belladonna, is a musician. When she wasn't working, or spending time with him and the girls, she'd goes to her music room to play or listen to music...as she also has a freaking modern studio placed in the damn place.
So after she passionately showed him, how to in a basic level operate the studio, Laharl showed her other songs. More from Journey which she'd loves, along with Foreigner's I Want to Know What Love Is, Meatloaf's I'd Do Anything for Love, Tina Turner's What's Love Got to Do with It, and more. He also introduced her to classic rock from Guns & Roses, Ratt, Kiss, and more. Laharl refrained from the hard rock and metal, since while a shame mom didn't like the style. Despite that they spent their time listening to the classics for hours, she even requested the lyrics and notes of the songs, so she can practice and play for her own.
After the day passed, his mom drastically expanded her music collection, giving him a loving kiss on top of his head, and stayed in her music room to listen to more songs. As he left, he heard "I'd Do Anything for Love" again, seems that became one of her new favorites. Making him smile and shake his head, as he continued on his way. Later he along with his girls were back in his room, talking about their day, Ruby showing her right arm, flexing it saying she's more stronger than before. While Kyoko presented Laharl with a new jacket, the jacket was mainly red. With a long strand of darker red, stripping down the sleeves and the edges of the zipper. It's has a hood with long sleeves, with many gold studs on the wrists and shoulders, returning to the sleeves the wrists are folded and clipped by a stud, and lastly the hood has a face with the eyes being a very dark red. As the edge of the hood has jagged teeth at the, he loves it. Kyoko used her demonic power to make it extremely strong and durable, plus it has the same enchantments as his gloves and pants.
This was the new sowing techniques Miss Marron taught her, mana-sowing and stitching enchanting. She thought Laharl-sama needed something to complete his look. He expressed that he loves it, and immediately put it own, not disturbing his scarf in fact it has special slit on the back so he can fit the strands of his scarf, making look a little bit like X scarf in Command Mission. Ruby commented that he was hot and kissed him, with great hunger and aggression, when Ruby broke her kiss with her man, he kissed Kyoko, that same way showing as much love and appreciation for the gift. Making the ninja girl, very happy and proud. Laharl decided to invite the girls to the music room which made them confused, as Ruby said, "We have a music room?" he laughed and said that he'd said the same when his mom showed it to him, taking their hands he guided his girls to music room to enjoy themselves. And so that how that day went.
THIRD SUMMONING Location Nearby the Mansion
Months passes then. Laharl, Kyoko, and Ruby were now ten, and look like thirteen year old teen, in height and body. Since he was the oldest of his generation, by months, Sirzechs and Serafall decided to push back the Coming of Age ceremony for a couple months later, so they give him, Rias, and Sona their respected Evil Pieces together. Not that it bothered Laharl, he could wait a bit more, a mean he already waited ten years, what's a couple months in comparison.
Besides that. Laharl was with his girls, once again in the theater room. But not to watch anime or movies, or play video games, since after that dinner party at Sona's house, he'd bought all the classic and modern consoles from a Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, PS1, all the way to a Wii, PS3, XBOX 360, and more. It was a shame that DXD timeline was still in the Gen 3 of consoles. He misses his PS4 and 5, along with his Switch and XBOX One. But whatever, the was not important at the moment and he'll make a deal with the video game industries CEO in exchange for free new consoles and game forever. Anyway back to the reason that Laharl called his girls for a meeting, despite being a couple of years max, since last he summoned someone. He found a loophole for the next one he plans to summon. That succubus is Albedo from the Overlord series, not only was she a capable manager, and commander, Albedo was also a powerful character a hybrid fighter with magic caster...even if the Overlord series never showed her full potential. As he explained before become flesh and sentient she was a NPC character and the main Bone Daddy himself Ains Ooal Gown, tampered with her character sheet and persona she was meant to be a ubber-bitch, instead she became the type of Yandere that would never harm or betray the one that is the target of her affection. He'll take a page of Ains and edit her character sheet which shouldn't drain much of his system, and hence he explained to Kyoko and Ruby who Albedo is, her qualities, abilities, and more. They agreed that having such a demon in their side would be invaluable, plus a capable person for the Queen position on their peerage.
Along with Laharl's secret involving one of his wishes, will make him a contender for the most powerful and able heir in the Rating Game. So with them agreeing with him it was time to summon Albedo into their world and unto their lives. They left the theater room, followed by the mansion, since no one needed to know or would ever know of his Demon Summoning System. As the trio left some distance away from the mansion, some shadows were lurking closer to the mansion will bad intentions.
The trio landed in a forest area, far away from prying eyes. The girls haven't never seen a summoning personally, wondered how it looks and works, as Laharl took some steps forward, and he activated the Demon Summoning System. As a golden scroll with red wording, saying [1Y 16M 490D], Laharl saw the charge his system has and knew that it was more than enough for the edits he plans for Albedo. First he'll de-age not to match their age but be slightly older, around thirteen to be specific. Her character sheet has everything her powers, skills, persona and more, the only thing he'll edit aside from her age is that she loves him, and is more than open to sharing her love with sisters such as Kyoko, Ruby and others in the future. Everything will remain the same her look, just younger, and with his plans done, the Demon Summoning System was requesting him to chose a demon or monster to summon. As he said her name, "Summon. Albedo." his golden scroll system, started to glow bright like other times, as all the edits that he wanted to make on Albedo the system was molding to what he desired.
In a flash appeared a beautiful white dressed succubus with long hair that reached her lower back, with a single strand on her face and a cowlick on top her head. Her white horns curved around her head, through her hair and slight reaching her forehead. Her vibrant yellow eyes, exsentuating her beautiful face. As a huge pair of black feathered wings, were clearly seen from her lower back, curved nicely around her waist undisturbed by her dress.
Returning to her stunning dress is was mainly white with golden accent. A non-attached high collar that covered her neck with golden yellow accents, a form fitting dress that made her impress breasts better and a golden spider-web pattern in that part of the dress, she wears a pair of long, elbow-high white gloves. And lastly the lower part of her dress is layered, and slightly exposed her waist, but cover her legs and feet. She was obviously shorter and younger than her original self, but the grace and majestic visage was undeniable.
When she saw Laharl, she interlocked her fingers, raised her arms up to her chin. Gasping in a wide grin, and her eyes glowing, with a bit of a blush on her cheeks. She said, "My darling!!" Albedo, then kneeled down in one knee, and she said to Laharl, "I, Albedo. Future Queen and fellow wife of Laharl Bael-sama. Is here to swear her allegiance and my eternal love to you!!" Laharl was smiling, with Kyoko, and Ruby were impressed with Albedo's beauty and clear devotion to their man. Laharl walked over to the kneeling Albedo, and gave her his hand, as he said to her, "A beautiful girl like you, shouldn't be kneeling there, and dirtying herself in such a manner." Albedo she'd blush and gushed, as she gently took her Lord and love offered hand, and he helped her stand again. She was soo happy, as Laharl told her to promise to cherish and accept her offer of fealty and confession. Laharl led her over to the others, allowing Albedo meet with Kyoko and Ruby, but they only managed to greet each other, when the four of them heard a explosion, the sound coming from the direction of the mansion.
Whatever is happening it was clear that the mansion is under attack. Laharl looked to his girls, and said, "Kyoko!! Ruby!! Albedo!! Let go check things out!!!" they nodded, as he turned his scarf into his wings, while Kyoko and Ruby sprouted their wings, as Albedo only one with wings always out. They all took flight, and headed back towards the mansion, at their top-speed.

Then as the shaking was intense and took some time before it ceased to shake. As Marron came rushing into her study. She reported that some unknow devils have been attacking the mansion.

She immediately asked if anyone was hurt, Marron, she sadly reported that their were a couple of maids in the blast area. And that the guards were rushing to the area, but without her, they might suffer greater damages and losses.
