《The Devil's Parcel》Chapter 7: Aftermath
Advertisement
Three months after the war between Sol and Angel's province came to a close, The people of Sol chose Lilith to lead the country. She ended the corruption in the country, and they saw her as the only one being fit to rule. The government effectively went from pseudo-democracy to a monarchy which the country enjoyed because Lilith knew precisely what she was doing.
"Any word on Erin's whereabouts?" Lilith had been helping Angel's province to deal with Erin and her plan to destroy the mortal plane.
"No, my queen, but we did capture a 'Black magic' witch." Angels province decided to label them 'Black magic witches' because the other name wouldn't appeal to the public.
Lilith leans back on her chair and sighs. "Ok, let me know about any information that turns up from her questioning."
"Yes, my queen."
"How many times have I told you to stop calling me that, Father."
"Too many, but you're a queen now, and you deserve respect."
"Yea, but this title cost me too much" Lilith stands up to show her stomach. "Mistress Amaya took my child's father away from him before they were born. Not to mention Leon died!"
"Easy now, stress isn't good for a child's development."
Lilith ended the holographic call with Gord. She went into town and the nearby villages to check their wellbeing and see if they needed any aid. Lilith has been doing this ever since she became queen, and she isn't getting tired from it. It's the only thing that has brought her mind off of the past.
Lilith was patrolling the town closest to the border when a group of raiders came from the woods and started their attack. These raiders had constantly attacked, but they have been getting more frequent recently. The raiders were going for Lilith, but that was their last mistake. Ever since Lilith came into power, she has given the country's entire army better training (One of the perks of having an alliance). Needless to say, the nearby guards of the village sprang into action. Without Lilith's intervention, the raiders were defeated and taken into custody.

"My queen, with all due respect, I would like to heavily recommend getting a personal security detail" One of the guards honestly feared for her safety. Lilith saw that, so she told him what he wanted to hear. "I'll look into it.". After she inspected the entire country's villages and towns, she finally returned to her home. The villagers spent night and day building it over the old voting building because they felt she deserved a house suitable for a queen.
Lilith contacted Benjamin and Lillia. "Are you guys busy?"
"Never for you, my queen," the both of them responded
"Well, I'm looking for personal security detail, and I wanted you two to be in it."
Lillia and Benjamin agreed and started making arrangements to move over to Sol without hesitation. Five days later, they were greeted by the people and thanked for putting their lives on the line to protect their queen.
"It's been too long" Lilith hugs them. After the battle, Benjamin and Lillia went back home to cope with the whole situation. With this first physical interaction in three months, the two welcomed the hug.
"It's so good to see you, Lilith" Lillia hugs Lilith back. After their hug, Lilith showed them inside her house, and into the rooms they would be staying in. "Wow, this house is nice" Lillia had never seen a place this beautiful. The house was built by architects to serve as a governmental landmark and Lilith's home, so to put it bluntly, it was huge as well as beautiful.
The three friends now reunited spent hours catching up, watching movies, and just enjoying each other's company. Lilith hasn't laughed in the three months since the incident, so her having fun was a welcome feeling. It was a welcome feeling for all three. It felt like time stopped for the three, it felt like nothing wrong would happen, but sadly, time doesn't stop for anyone.

In Angel's province, Alastor was imprisoned in a hell sea; This type of seal tortures the individual inside; not only that, but time is accelerated in there, so seconds feel like years. The only way this seal ends is when the person sealed away dies. Alastor has been in this seal for three months straight, unfazed by the torture. Not to mention he hasn't been entirely alone in his seal.
"Well, to be honest, Alastor, I'm still surprised you are still in here" Abel was clowning on Alastor like he usually does
"How so? I'm just in a seal biding my time while I wait for the perfect opportunity."
"Hmm! Here I thought I was going to be the only one out of the two of us to ever be sealed away."
"It's all a part of the plan."
"Wow, aren't you full of surprises? I thought you gave up on that plan." Abel thinks for a bit and says, "Or is it because of what happened with Leon."
"He shouldn't have died."
"Then why didn't you save him?"
Alastor stood silent
"You actually respected his wishes?"
"He wanted to stay in heaven."
"Like that has ever stopped you."
"I didn't have enough power regardless."
"You not having enough power?" Abel laughed until he realized Alastor was serious
"I lost most of it in our last battle."
"I guess it would take a lot of power to keep me sealed for this long."
Suddenly Alastor started losing touch with Abel, so he gave him some final words before the connection got cut off. In his weakened state, Alastor began feeling the pain, and he started losing consciousness before long.
Back in Sol, Lilith was making her rounds as usual, but unlike other times she had company to make time go faster. After her patrol, Lilith went home with her guards. Lilith gained an unnatural appetite after the whole ordeal three months prior. She was eating a lot, and her guards were worried.
"Lilith, should you be eating that much?"
"It's fine. I've always had an appetite.". Lilith took another bite of her food before dropping it to the floor and falling to her knees. "Lilith!" Lillia runs to Lilith's sides to see what's wrong. Lilith's eyes shoot open, and she says, "I think I'm giving birth."
