The New God of Demons [The Promised Neverland]

Chapter 5: The Ratri Clan [REWRITTEN]

~~~~~~~~~~

[•Lucine's POV•]
This is something new that wasn't mentioned in the manga.

Connected Auditorium

Apparently, its an auditorium that is connected between worlds, the human and demon. When you're on the stage you can't see nor hear the audience -good for people with stage fright- but they can see and hear you.

Idk the details but this works apparently.

"Greetings citizens and noblemen. We've gathered you all here today to listen to a statement that Lord Lucifer, my father, has released recently." My brother started as he read what was written in the golden scroll.

"I have hereby relinquish from my position as LORD to my newly proclaimed daughter, Lucine Odessa. She shall fill in the title whether like or not, I've trained her personally so don't even dare try to manipulate or use her. If done so, the promise will be broken as I still hold the power to do so. Petty I know, but just try me. I won't hesitate. Thank you for your time, I look forward to your cooperation with my daughter and the same with my son.
Yours Truly,
Former Lord Lucifer Odessa." Brother finished.

Seriously? He even admits that breaking the promise because of me is petty, is he trying to gain my favour? Wasn't our bonding the whole month enough?

*Sigh* I have no idea how a normal family works.

"As proclaimed by my father, my sister here-" Brother professionally gestured to me, who is beside him.

"-Will be the new Goddess of demons. Please give it up for Lord Lucine Odessa." He finished.

After that, we both sauntered down the stage, where we can't be seen or heard anymore.

"Ugh, that was tiring." I remarked with exhaust as I dramatically wiped a nonexistent sweat off my brow.

"I was the one talking, you just stood there quietly." Brother retorted dryly with a look that said 'seriously!?'.

"Exactly." I countered with a smirk.

"Oh my god..." He exasperated with a face palm, I snickered at his reaction as we met with the others in the back.

"Lord Odessa, Master Odessa, Young master Ratri has asked to have tea with you." Alfred reported as he saw us coming.

"Young master?" I tilted my head in confusion.

I mean, not that I don't want to have tea with the kid. But I expected the heads to talk to us in their office.

"Dad must've not told you, the heads of the Ratri clan were murdered some time ago. So it is the duty of the only son they have to fulfill it." Brother explained, as if he had read my thoughts.

"Oh." I simply said.

Poor child, experiencing such events must be hard for him. I can already guess- no, I know what kind of child he'll be just by that information alone and his title.

"Let us go now." Alfred escorted us to the garden of the mansion. There, beautiful flowers were growing with fresh green grass, reminded me of that place.

"Lord Odessa, Master Odessa, its an honor to have both of you have tea with me." A young boy with a blue eye, dark navy blue hair and a black eye patch over his right eye greeted from where he sat on an empty circular table.
