Post Civil Devil War

Sirzechs was placed in a heavily guarded room by his comrades to prevent a recurrence of similar incidents. Meanwhile, the Lucifuge family, especially Grayfia, was informed about the young demon's condition.

Of course, Grayfia was shocked. She realized that what happened to Sirzechs was a result of his rejection of her love, but Petra reassured her and convinced her that this situation was not entirely Grayfia's fault. In fact, Petra believed it would be better if Grayfia expressed her feelings without being pressured by anyone.

The cause of this problem largely lay in the emotional threshold possessed by the demon himself. Petra realized that in ancient times, demon ancestors had much more wicked and cruel behavior. However, in the present day, after Solomon's intervention and the formation of the 72 Ars Gotei, demon behavior became more human-like.

A concrete example was the taboo act committed by Damaidos, who sacrificed his sanity for the true power of the demon. Although the act did not make him able to defeat Serafall and Grayfia, it caused serious trouble.

Petra, who had lived for a very long time, realized the similarity between that situation and what Sirzechs experienced. Although Sirzechs tried to fight it, his level of control had not reached one hundred percent.

"This is more dangerous, but fortunately it can be dealt with properly. If I hadn't moved our battle into the Mind Realm, Lucifaad might have been destroyed," Petra thought.

The mage glanced at the sleeping Sirzechs and saw the flow of his magical energy becoming more stable but not restoring the red color of his hair. Petra thought this was a concession for the taboo thing he did, although not entirely.

All that remained was to restore the new government system and for Sirzechs' coronation, Petra could substitute it using illusion magic to change appearance. ... Two days later, Sirzechs woke up.

The young demon lord woke up in confusion as if he remembered nothing and was very surprised to see his hair and eye color changed.

"So that's it... I'm sorry," he said guiltily to his parents and comrades who were beside him.

Venelana, like a typical mother, took advantage of her son's behavior, which almost brought the demon world to ruin while his comrades.

Venelana breathed a sigh of relief, a small smile forming on her face. "It's okay, dear. The important thing is that you're okay."

Zeoticus patted Sirzechs' shoulder with relief. "We were worried about you, Sirzechs. It feels good to see you awake again."

Petra looked at him with a serious yet relieved expression. "You've been through a lot, Sirzechs. The important thing now is that you're back."

However, Zekram remained silent, his eyes staring sharply at Sirzechs, although his facial expression contained restrained anger. "You almost became a catastrophe for the underworld, Sirzechs. Never forget your responsibility as a Lucifer from now on."

Sirzechs bowed his head, guilt still lingering in his heart. "I understand, Uncle. I will try not to repeat this mistake again."

After that, everything returned to normal, now Petra's task was finished, the rest would be taken care of by the demons themselves. ... Petra Handerson, after completing all her tasks, returned to the Lucifuge mansion to settle the last matter and bid farewell.

The mage's final task was to deliver the news about what Zekram had conveyed. Currently, the Lucifuge family had been elevated to Dukes by the old demon, and were freed from all the political affairs burdening them, but still held significant influence within. It was the best step Zekram Bael could take to protect the Lucifuge clan from various dissatisfaction that had occurred before. The acknowledgment and assurance from Vangeance Magus made the demons shudder just by hearing his name, considering the achievements Petra had achieved during the last great war.

Layla, as the Lady of Lucifuge, expressed her gratitude to Petra for all the hard work and great help she had provided. Her facial expression was full of respect and admiration for Petra, who had brought about great changes for their family.

"With sincerity, I want to thank you for everything you have done, Petra," Layla said warmly yet courageously and with strength. "You have given us extraordinary protection and support, and we are all deeply indebted to you. Your sacrifices and dedication during the civil war will never be forgotten."

Layla then looked at Petra with hopeful and confident eyes. "The Lucifuge family will continue to honor and appreciate your contributions. May you always be blessed in your future endeavors. If one day you need help from us, do not hesitate to call us. You will always have a place in the Lucifuge clan."

Petra smiled, feeling the warmth of Layla's words and appreciating her acknowledgment of her efforts. "Thank you, Madam Layla. It is truly an honor for me to have been able to help the Lucifuge family in these difficult times," Petra said sincerely.

Madam Lucifuge closed her mouth while responding to Petra's words with a small laugh. "Likewise." Then, Layla looked at the mage seriously. "Also, can I make one more request?"

Layla took a deep breath before revealing her surprising request that shocked Petra. "Can you take Grayfia on your journey for the next 10 years?" she said seriously, her eyes looking directly at Petra.

"Huh?" The mage was surprised, unable to say much because of the shock of the request.

Brak!

A falling sound was heard at the entrance of the living room, where Grayfia, who was pouring drinks, looked surprised to hear her mother's unexpected request.

"Mother!? What are you talking about!" Grayfia said with a flushed face due to embarrassment, approaching her mother with a confused feeling.

"May I know the reason why I should take Grayfia on my journey?" Petra asked, trying to calm herself.

Madam Layla, undisturbed by her daughter's proximity, responded to Petra's words. "I know this will surely be a burden for you, especially for Grayfia who will surely feel burdened because you have many enemies. However, as a parent, especially as her mother, I want Grayfia to at least have the experience of facing various situations. If something happens to me, at least she will have some ability to deal with it."
