Acnologia walked through his city that has quickly transformed into a "city of love", it may not be to Acnologia's liking, but as long as everyone was happy, it didn't bother him.
The Dragons strated filling the Jura Forest while some decided to join the people of the city, it was a good thing that these dragons don't display any of the arrogance of the Dragons from his previous world.
Well, their people and Acnologia's people are now bound by marriage, a Royal marriage. So, they are now one. Though, keeping an eye on everyone was necessary for the time being.
Reaching the edge of the city, from the forest side. Acnologia leaned his shoulder on a tree while looking at the city surrounded in it's rosy atmosphere.
He then felt a presence behind him, he sighed and spoke "You got good at hiding your presence."
"You praise me too much, your majesty." Souei came out of the shadows like a ghost.
"I almost didn't realize who you are." Acnologia added.
"I strive to be the best in my field."
"Good. How is everything going?" Acnologia asked.
Souei nodded "Currently, there have been no suspecious movement in the city, thought, I am receiving reports that some major countries are sending their envoys to attend the wedding, including Dwargon, Ruberios, Blumund, and the Elves from Sorcerer's Dynasty Sarion."
"The Elves?" Acnologia frowned "We made no contact with them, so why?" He asked.
Souei nodded "After the accident our nation faced, it was my mission to investigate any and everyone that entered the city. My subordinates were tasked with collecting every little detail on everyone. So, according to our Intel, the adventure girl Eren, one of Master Rimuru's friends is in close contacts with the Chief Manager of the Elves." He said "It appears that her identity of an adventurer is but a facade, though we didn't find any hostile intentions from her, we will keep looking."
Acnologia nodded, clearly pleased "Great!" He said "But now, I am curious about something else. The Demon with the Red Hair, his name was Gay of something like that. See what you can find."
Souei put his hand on his chest and knelt "As wish your majesty." Before he dispersed into think shadows, not even bothering to correct the name of the Demon Lord.
After Souei left, Acnologia fell into contemplation and self-reflection again. Something he started doing whenever he has free time.
He took the opportunity of being alone to think about what has been going around in his life, does the decisions he has made over the weeks align with his resolution to live his life the best he can? Or is he walking in circles again?
Perhaps the most heated topic Acnologia is reflecting upon is his relationship with Irene right now.
Fully knowing that he was the one that dealt the killing blow to her in their world, it bothered Acnologia a bit. In his mind, who would be okay with marrying their killer? Acnologia was hiding this fact from her so their relationship doesn't take the wrong turn and in hopes it improves.
This marriage in it's essence was a political marriage, both rulers were aware of that.
Irene wasn't strange to political marriages, she too had one in her past, but, that marriage ended up a failed one, loveless, and full of hidden hatred and fear, mainly from her husband, though she may be to blame too, she didn't actually participate in her marriage life. Instead, she fully devoted herself to her Dragon Slayer research and the Dragon-Human peace treaty. It was one of the many reasons that ate on her consciousness, had she put some effort, perhaps she have lived a different life with her daughter.
So, even though this relationship with Acnologia was unexpected. She is willing to work on it, put some effort. No longer does she wish to fail in life, and no longer does she want to live alone. An opportunity was provided, and she took it.
Strangely enough, Acnologia shared Irene's view on this new life, although he was not hesitating to go on with his life. And in order to protect his new life and new relationships, Acnologia decided that the little information about him being her killer was not worth the trouble, it's in the past, and both of them now should focus on their new life.
"I see that your majesty is admiring the nature." An old and wise voice came from behind Acnologia, a middle aged looking man appeared with his white hair and small beard.
"Hakuro, I was just thinking about something." Acnologia responded.
Hakuro took a glance at Acnologia and smiled "Normally, this will be the part where the old me gives some wisdom, but looking at your eyes, I see you have already made your resolve, haha!"
Acnologia only nodded "It's only forward from now and here." He said.
Hakuro looked at the city and nodded "It's the only choice." He said "And we will be right behind you."
Acnologia straightened his back and clenched his fist "...Yes."

Meanwhile...
In the underworld. The home of demons and evil. In the past, it was nothing but a vacuum of miasma and cursed energy, and it's inhabitants being nothing but a ball of power and ego, However, through the ages and due to many unexpected events, the underworld gained structure, land started forming and homes were built, and hierarchy was founded, demons tried to build a society.
However, instead of a society, an eternal battleground was founded, where demons fought for power and influence for eternity.
The more powerful a demon gets, the more influence it's amasses and more demons would follow him if he succeeds in subduing them.
The most powerful of those demons are called the Primordials, the founding demons and the fathers of every demon that has an ego. They were the first inhabitants of the underworld, each one of them has enough power to turn a continent into dust, and more subordinates than they can count. But not all loved to be social and play king and queens, some loved to be alone, keeping their company to the minimum and challenge any rookie that gets too full of themselves.
And currently....
Noir was floating above what seems to be a battlefield, hundred of creatures were thrown on the ground, groaning and in pain.
Noir looked at them in disgust "Your power is adequate, yet you fall like flies, kids these days only rely on their brute power, tsk! tsk! tsk!"
"I came all the way here when I felt the amount of energy going rampage, I expected a war between clans, but I didn't expect it was you, Noir!" A mature and elegant voice echoed.
Noir looked to his left, where a lady of white hair and red eyes was floating with a smile on her face.
"You did a number on them, big brother Noir is very cruel!" A girl with purple hair and golden eyes came out of thin air, she was wearing a cute dress and spoke in a cute manner, but her eyes betrayed her, a dangerous glint flashed in them.
"Hahaha!! There was this much fun around the corner and I wasn't invited?!" A loud and energetic voiced echoed as a girl with golden hair crashed like a meteor on the ground "Where is the fight at?" She looked around to see Noir in the sky with the other two girls "Haha! What is this?! Are The Primordials finally fighting each other after thousands of years?!" She spoke out with a grin as she floated to be at their eye level.
Noir rolled his eyes "I came here trying to prepare a present to my beloved master, not babysit you guys." He said in boredom.
Just that single sentence made the three girls look at Noir sharply and in shock.
"Master?" The white haired lady spoke in surprised.
"Eh! Seriously?!" The purple girl asked cutely.
"Noir?! Master?! Am I dreaming?!!" The golden haired girl spoke.
Noir grunted "Leave, I am here to recruit the most powerful devil's to be my master's pawns as a wedding present." He said, but after a moment, his black eyes flashed with a red aura "On second thought, don't leave...I have a preposition for you three." He said with a grin.
