[3rd POV]
The meeting between Lilith and the rest of her peerage had gone well. Far better than Morgan was hoping for. The group had hit it off with her pretty quickly, as Lilith, unlike what they were expecting, was far kinder and far less arrogant than any of them had been anticipating.
She was willing to answer all of the many many questions that they had for her. Some of them include what happened to her to be locked up for so long. Another being the question of what it was like living tens of thousands of years ago. And the one that got asked the most was what it was like being the mother of all devils, the originator of them all.
She answered them all honestly, and didn't seem to mind much. The questions themselves weren't really intrusive or anything, and they would have found out about these things eventually either way, so it wouldn't have made a difference in the end.
Lilith had answered a little over two dozen questions, answering them all with a calm smile on her face, while also asking her own questions in response. Ones like "What is a Sacred Gear" "How long have you been in Morgan's Peerage" and a few dozen more. Each of them answering the questions that had been ailing her since she had been woken up and saved by Morgan.
She had been particularly warm to Grayfia, after finding out that the woman was a Lucifuge. She had never met Grayfia before, but she had known her parents. And she had thought of them fondly, remembering that Grayfia's mother was her best friend before her devastating death all those years ago, during the Great War.
But the one person that she had reacted to the most, was her great granddaughter, Valiana Lucifer.

[Short Flashback]
It had been a little bit since Lilith had been introduced to the peerage, answering most of the questions that she had been asked, without much fuss. She had already met most of the peerage, but from what she had been told, the final member was out, doing some important business for Morgan.
Business that could not wait.
But as she conversed with Grayfia with a small smile on her face, she stopped when she heard the door open. Morgan's face warping into a warm smile as a woman walked into the living room, as Lilith looked up. Her eyes shooting wide as she gazed upon her white hair, so very similar to her own.
And then she realized it.
This was her great granddaughter. The host of Albion, and the last true remains of her family. For Rizevim was no son of hers, and she was not going to call the man that hurt his family her grandchild.
"Lilith, meet Valiana, your great granddaughter. And Valiana, this is Lilith, your great grandmother" Morgan said with a warm smile on her face, as she noticed the tears that crept out of Lilith's eyes.
Lilith slowly stood to her feet as she walked towards Valiana slowly, the woman watching her silently, only to blink in surprise as she felt Lilith hug her tightly, the arms of her great grandmother wrapping around her.
"My child, I am so very sorry that I was not there for you" Lilith said, the tears remaining in her eyes as Morgan watched with a soft smile on her face, as Valiana slowly began to hug the last true remains of her family back, tears welling up in her own eyes.
For she had finally found a remnant of her family, after so very long.

[Flashback End]
After the meeting between Lilith and Valiana, Lilith had become a member of the peerage full blown. The woman had found herself welcomed by the group, and had joined them for the dinner that night.
And boy, was she surprised as they ate.
"What is this? It smells incredible" Lilith asked, looking at the dish in front of them. It was a simple dish, being a nice and delicious bowl of spaghetti that Morgan had whipped up alongside Grayfia.
"It's a dish called Spaghetti" Grayfia informed her, as she placed the dishes in front of each of the peerage members. They all tended to eat at the large dinner table that was in the Zagan estate, at least, whenever they could. Not every member of her peerage could always attend, and today was similar.
Today Sairaorg couldn't attend. As he had some personal business he had to deal with, as now that he was the new Lord of the Bael clan, he had a lot of duties to attend to, and could no longer attend nearly as many meetings as he could when he was not the Lord of the third most powerful clan in the Underworld.
The only ones that were stronger were the Gremory's due to their connection to Morgan, and the Zagan clan for very obvious reasons. Technically the Phenex clan could also be included in this, but that was only because Morgan was their lord as well.
It was sort of like they were bundled together with the Zagan clan at this point.
"Spaghetti? Interesting..." Lilith whispered, looking down at the dish as she began to twirl her fork and bit into the noodles, her eyes widening in surprise at the delicious taste. She had never eaten something like this before, as there was not a dish like this around back when she was alive.
Everything back then was far...duller, and didn't have nearly as many seasonings as they do in this day and age. And the meals themselves tended to be smaller and more simplistic. Almost entirely being soups and stews. As well as steak and stuff like that.
Nothing all that interesting.
"This is incredible..." Lilith said in slight awe, as she bit into the spaghetti again with renewed vigor, having never tasted something even remotely similar. The spaghetti in front of her was quite literally the best thing she has ever eaten in her countless years of living.
"I'm glad you like it so much. Grayfia and I made it" Morgan said with a small amused smile on her face, finding the glee in Lilith's eyes to be hilarious. The woman was so happy over such a simple meal.
But she supposed that it was something to be happy about, after not eating anything for tens of thousands of years. And the first thing she eats is the best tasting meal she has ever had.
"I didn't realize you could cook. I thought you were just a powerful woman who is in control of the most powerful faction in the world" Lilith responded in surprise.
"I am good at a lot of things, Lilith. The longer you stay around me, the more you'll realize that I am more than just the Ruler of the Underworld and Heaven. And cooking is one of my past times, one that I have to be good at if I want to make sure our resident cookie addict is satiated" Morgan said as said cookie addict walked into the room with a yawn and plopped down onto her lap.
Lilith looked at the figure in confusion, having never met them before. But they seemed a little familiar.
"Who is she?" Lilith questioned, feeling like she had met her before.
"This is Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God. She's been living with me for a little while now" Morgan replied, as she scooped up some spaghetti and fed it to Ophis who happily ate her delicious food with no hesitation.
Lilith's eyes constricted in alarm, her face paling as she realized that the second strongest being in creation was sitting in front of her. She had met Ophis once before, a long long time ago. But back then she had been taking a different form, and had nearly obliterated her ex husband from existence after he bugged her a bit too much.
It's safe to say that Lilith is terrified of the woman sat within her new Kings lap, eating her food at the table as the rest of the peerage ate without any care. Almost like they were used to this.
And once she realized that Morgan had said that Ophis had been living with them for a while now, she realized that maybe they were truly used to Ophis being there. That maybe she had been there long enough that her presence didn't even bother them anymore.
Realizing the situation she was now in, and what she was surrounded by, Lilith looked down at her plate, one thought on her mind as she began to silently eat again.
'...I think I've made a mistake'
