"Harutan!" a male voice shouted frantically.
A man around his early twenties with the same hair and skin tone as Haru with blue-green eyes ran around the manor of the Gremory in search of one person.
His most precious youngest sister.
"Harutan!" he shouted as he lifted the toilet seat.
"Harutan!" he shouted, lifting his Griffin familiar as it squawked in surprise.
"Harutan!" he shouted from the roof of the manor until someone wacked him on the head, "Ow, that hurt Grayfia," he told the Gremory maid/his most lovely and hot, very hot, wife.
Grayfia was a beautiful woman appearing to be in her early twenties, with silver hair and matching eyes. Her hair, which flows all the way down to her back, features a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest is let down, ending in twin braids. She mainly wore a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head, with red lipstick as a cosmetic accessory.
Or was otherwise known as the Strongest Queen.
"You're being far too noisy Sirzechs-sama." She said in her usual no non-sense attitude.
"But, but, what if my little Harutan needs her Oniitan!" he wailed with a sniffle as he took out a picture of his younger sisters sleeping together cutely and rubbed it against his cheek.
Grayfia just shook her head, why did her master/husband have to be such a siscon?
And it didn't help that Haru was somewhat of a brocon at times either.
She still remembered the times when the younger girl tried to "assassinate" the maid so she could marry her "Oniitan".
Truly the Gremory clan took affection to new heights with somewhat frightening results.
"Oniitan!" a shout came from the courtyard where the two turned to see Haru walking towards the main door along with her friend Ravel Phenex.
In a split second Sirzechs was by her side and they preformed an epic twirl hug… of epicness!
"Harutaaan!"
"Oniitaaan!"
They cheered in their sis/brocon fashion.
Ravel sighed a bit at something she had gotten far too used to.
Grayfia was there in a second as well and bowed, "Welcome home Ojou-sama, Ravel-sama." She announced in a professional manner befit of her maid title.
"Hello Grayfia-san." Ravel said politely back with a small bow.
"Hi Grayfia-nee." Haru waved cheerfully.
It wasn't that she hated the maid, nope, she loved her really. But if she wanted to marry her Oniitan, the maid would have to go.
It was just business.
A being of the height of about two meters with a body resembling that of a horse or deer, but with red scales instead of fur and a face that resembled that of a red Asian Dragon, walked up to them.
"Ah, Enku." Sirzechs said cheerfully towards his Kirin Pawn piece.
The Kirin nodded towards his King, "Greetings your Majesty, Grayfia-sama. I was wondering where Ojou-sama and Ravel-sama had left too, but I see they've returned." He said with a nod to one of his two charges and her friend, but took a sniff, "Why do you both smell of fresh blood?" he asked politely, but it held a worrying tone as well.
Sirzechs' eyes widened and started turning Haru around and upside down to find any wounds frantically while shouting out worrying older brother things.
"Uwa, dizzy." Haru said as her eyes spiraled in a comedic fashion.
Grayfia took Haru from her master and placed her younger lady on the ground, "Are you okay?" she asked in concern.
Haru nodded, "Yeah, we just went into the off-limits part of the forest Otou-sama told me about is all." She said honestly, not seeing a problem with it.
Sirzechs panicked, "What?!" he shouted
Haru just waved it off, "We just ran into some wolves is all, beat them easily." She said with a smile.
She forgot to mention they were the ten feet tall ones, but meh, no biggie.
The adults and Kirin sighed at this, the youngest Gremory always did find it fun to break the rules or do something dangerous at times.
Sirzechs was about to reprimand her, but the younger Gremory spoke up before him.
"Oh yeah! Ravvy said she would be my Queen, she practically begged me!" Haru announced excitedly.
Ravel flushed, "I did not! You begged me and everything!" she shouted back in an unlady-like manner.
Haru gave Ravel a pitying look, "Of course Ravvy, of course." She said as the fire bird devil's eye twitched at dangerous levels for a 7 year old.
The adults blinked in surprise, they knew that Rias had gotten her Queen, that Fallen Angel girl Akeno, but for Haru to get her Queen already too? Heh, guess she was a bit jealous.
Typical Haru to be honest.
But to make a member of the Phenex clan a Queen of the Peerage of the Gremory clan? Tactically that was a good idea for children around their age, but it would be hard to figure out what Lord Phenex would say about his only daughter doing that. It would help solidify the bridge between the two clans even more than it already is along with the fact that Rias and Riser would marry later on to complete it.
Bah, devil politics.
Gotta hate them.
"That sounds wonderful!" Sirzechs cheered as he picked both girls up, "Welcome to them family Ravel!" he said with his charming boyish smile that made the ladies just melt.
Ravel blushed a little at the attention but smiled at the Maou none the less.
"Yeah! Just you wait Grayfia-nee, Ravvy'll be taking the Strongest Queen title from you, no problems!" the redhead said in confidence.
Grayfia smiled at that and sent it towards Ravel, who felt a bit of a chill run down her spine, "I look forward to the challenge." She simply said.
After putting the children down, but not before giving Haru one big final hug, he and Grayfia left to do some Maou business.
The girls ran into the house to go get Haru's Evil Pieces, but ran into both Rias and her new Queen Akeno Himejima.
Rias looked just like an older Haru but with blue-green likes like their brother and parents while Akeno held a light skin tone, long black hair in a ponytail with two antennae sticking out from the top and sloping backwards, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place along with a pair of violet eyes.
"Ah, Haru, Ravel." Rias said with a smile, while she may not like Riser, she liked Ravel since she was her imouto's best friend.
"Hi Onee-chan, Akeno-san." Haru said, but puffed out her little chest, "Hey, guess what? Ravvy said she would be my Queen!" she said with a big smile.
Ravel smiled as well while the two older girls looked in surprise.
Rias looked thoughtful and the idea of having a member of the Phenex clan as a Queen? Well it was a bit scary.
"Ara, it seems you'll have to watch out for your imouto Rias-chan, she's already got her Queen, just like you." Akeno said with a smile and closed eyes.
Haru smiled, "Yep, my Peerage is going to be way stronger then Onee-chan's. It has to be if I wanna become a Maou." She said with a nod to herself.
Rias pouted at her sister, "Oh yeah, well, I'll have a full Peerage way before you." She said, setting the bar.
Haru smiled, "Oh? Is that a bet I hear Onee-chan?" she asked with a devil smile.
Rias gulped a bit actually, it was a rule in the Gremory mansion, do not bet with Haru, you can just never win.
Seriously it was why their older brother took her to his Maou poker games since she just cleaned house!
Though Grayfia-neesan always berated him afterwards.
With her prized harisen of course!
"No!" Rias said frantically, but covered it up quickly and coughed into her hand, "Just a fact is all since I'll be going to the human world a bit more often." She said as she crossed her arms, "And I'll find more of my Peerage that way."
Haru did the same and crossed her arms with a pout since she had yet to even go to the human world.
"So! I'll be going too soon and I'll find the bestest Peerage ever!" she announced boldly.
Sparks flew between the two sisters due to their competitive nature huffed with a smile, they were going to win!
"Well I got to go find my Queen piece and give it to Ravvy, see ya Onee-chan, Akeno-san!" she said with a wave and grabbed Ravel's hand to ran to her room.
As they left, Akeno let out a laugh, "Ufufu, your imouto is so cute." She said with a gentle smile.
Rias nodded, it was true, she just loved to spoil her so much due to her cuteness.
"Come on, let's go train, I don't want to let my little sister get ahead of me." she said as there was no way she was going to lose to her sister, no matter how cute she was.
Akeno just smiled, she was really lucky to become a member of the Gremory Peerage.
The room was mainly red with gold and silver accents with the occasional blue here or there. There was a big bed, King size of course.
She had a large mahogany desk with some stone statues of stereotypical devils and pictures of her family on the walls. She had a large pile of toys and such to play with and a few bookcases filled with history, tactics, chess strategies, and few manga from that island country in the human world.
She really liked those Mahou Shoujo ones like Sera-nee!
Miracle Levia-tan was the best show ever!
Haru grabbed her piggy bank that had devil wings on it and smiled at it, "Thank you for all your hard work, may you rest in pieces." She said with a small bow and then smashed it into the ground, in… well, pieces.
There were her Evil Pieces along with some spare change and her Clucky Cheese tokens.
She picked up her Queen piece and looked at Ravel with a small smile; "Well, this is it, ready?" she asked and Ravel gave a strong nod.
Haru took a deep breath, "I command thee, Ravel Phenex, in my name Haru Gremory. To be my servant and become my Queen!" she shouted as she put the Evil Piece in Ravel's chest with a flash of light.
Ravel flinched a little, but felt the piece enter her. She suddenly felt a wash of power overtake her.
"Whoa, that was trippy huh?" Haru asked surprise.
The blonde gave a nodded; "Yeah…" she answered, but just couldn't get over this boost of power she was feeling.
"Well Ravvy, it looks like this is the beginning of the rest of our lives… you and me, we are going to be the strongest… without a doubt we will be!" Haru declared loudly with a pump of her fist.
Ravel smiled and nodded, yes, she would help her friend and King become the strongest in the world.
That was without question.
