Memories of the Past

A/N: Early upload, this is supposed to be the chapter for tomorrow.

=======

Asra stared at Serafall in suprise as she brought a new face with her.

"This is?" He asked,

Serafall smiled and grabbed the hands of the girl she brought, "This is Grayfia, she's one of my closest friends. I wanted to introduce her to you since the only friends you have are me, Sirzechs, Ajuka, and Falbium."

Asra smiled wryly at her reason but it was the truth. He just didn't see anything worth or interesting in making many friends. Especially when he was fundamentally different from the devils.

He then turn his gaze to this absolute beauty of a woman, her beauty could capture the hearts of many men. And the combination of her cold and dignified aura made her more attractive. Even Asra who was not affected by women's beauty was impressed by her.

While Serafall is also an absolute beauty like the one in front of him, her beauty and aura was different. Serafall was the energetic and bubbly type which has it's own appeal while this woman was the very definition of a cold beauty.

She is Grayfia Lucifuge, the daughter of Lord Lucifuge, who has served the original Lucifer. She was a cold and dignified woman with great power and high position.

Known as one of the most beautiful woman in the underworld, many tried in courting her but all of them was rejected. She didn't seem that interested in relationships, instead she focused on training her powers.

And this very woman was staring at Asra with her cold red eyes that seemed as if it could pierce your soul.

"My apologies Lady Lucifuge, I am Asra Lenoir, a friend of Serafall Sitri. I am pleased to meet you," Asra bowed slightly

"The way you treat her is quite different from when we first met, Asra." Serafall pouted after seeing how he treated Grayfia.

Asra chuckled at her cute attempt to tease him, "You do know our first meeting was you throwing an ice attack to my face." he stared at her with deadpan, "Besides, after clearing the misunderstanding, I treated you similarly."

Serafall turned to the side and her cheeks reddened a bit in embarassment for being exposed in front of her friend, Grayfia.

"You seem to be closer than I expected," Grayfia spoke for tge first time after witnessing the exhange of the two.

"Hm? Of course, we've been friends for 20 years already," Serafall snorted

"Right, it's been that long since our first meeting." Asra felt melancholic, it has been 30 years since he got in this world. Things have changed since then as he fully blended in devil society.

Grayfia remained silent as she watched the two continue with their banter. She observed Asra closely and she admits that her cold heart fluttered after seeing him for the first time.

She was someone much like Asra, have not much regard towards male appearance. Many of those who tried courting her was at the top of the underworld in terms of status, appearance, power, and talent. Yet, none of them even moved her heart in the slightest.

But this man whom she just met just did that, it'slike he has this special aura around him that subconsciously attracts her. But she resisted it and regained her composure.

"So? What do you want to do today? You even brought a friend with you," Grayfia heard Asra spoke which brought her out of her stupor.

"I just wanted to visit you and also introduce her. Besides, Grayfia don't have many friends and only talks to few people. So I thought why not bring her here so she can make a new friend." Serafall explained

Grayfia's brows twitched at Serafall's reason but she knew her friend was just trying to help her.

"Well, let's not stay here longer. Let's go to my home," Asra motioned for them to follow him.

In front of them was a magnificent mansion in victorian style. The front yard where they stood currently has a paved pathway and on the sides were beautiful flower fields which has servants tending to it.

As they got in the front door, they saw servants lined up and bowing towards them. All of these servants were beautiful women from common statuses, brought here by Asra.

"Looks like your enjoying yourself quite a bit, Asra." Serafall said, her voice having hints of venom as she saw the beautiful maids.

Grayfia remained silent and only gave Asra an understanding look. Her emotionless and cold gaze pricked Asra's heart.

"Fuhaha, are you by chance, jealous?" He gazed at Serafall.

"Hmph, why would I?" Serafall pouted

Asra chuckled at the sight and didn't continue on teasing her.

They continued walking inside and he led them towards his lounge area where they sat. They them talked with each other, slowly getting along.

.....

Back to the present time~

Asra and Grayfia stared at each other as their forces battled. Asra's Sin Troops battled House of Lucifuge's forces.

"How have you been recently?" He asked nonchalantly as if they were not innthe middle of a war.

."Fufu, you're still the same as ever," Grayfia chuckled softly, "Still as carefree even in a middle of a war."

"That's just who I am, even in front of a calamity, I'll smile." Asra shrugged before gazing at her with a mischievous grin, "Then, shall we start?"

His demonic power flared and spread throughout the battlefield. The soldiers from both sides, flinched afrer feeling the sheer amount and strength of Asra's demonic power.

Grayfia, steeled herself after Asra's show of power.
