King of my heart

King of Gluttony

"Good morning, dad, mom, grandpa," Iruma greeted his blood related family. Normally, he would have been having breakfast with his pack in the East Wing, but today he was on the West Wing to bond with his other family. Blood related family. Oh, how happy he was about having a good blood related family. Before the 13 Crowns' Dinner he was supposed to be adopted by Kalego and Opera, but Sullivan took advantage of the situation and finally made his claim on Iruma legal on all accounts. So, now he has three blood related guardians in the Netherworld. "Thank you for the food dad!"

"You're welcomed," Opera blushed slightly at the beautiful smile his son had given him and took a seat. That's something Opera had to get used to. He no longer was just a servant and Sullivan's second in command. He was the father of Duke Sullivan's grandson. "How is your pack getting used to the manor?"

"Good, they are all having fun and enjoying the big rooms. Most of them are from common backgrounds so they are not used to such a big manor," Iruma answered, happy to be talking about the pack he is so proud of. "But I need to keep an eye on Sabro and Jazz, so they do not go into Kerori and Leid's room respectively. Honestly, if it was up to me they should be able to, they are courting and it is consensual. I really hate archaic noble traditions."

"Don't let your mate hear you say that," Kalego warned him, making his son shiver at the thought of Alice finsing out he was not following protocol. Which in return had Opera and Sullivan laughing. "How is Sabnock Silvia and Crocell Chima doing?"

That's right, both Sabro and Kerori's sister were staying at the manor. As they are starting school next week Alice decided that it was better for them to move in now and get used to their new temporary home.

"Good! Silvia got attached to Chima very fast! She is delighted to have a sister, with only brothers in her family," Iruma chuckled, taking a big bite from his breakfast. "Not that Chima agreed on the fact that simply because their older sibling are courting it makes them sisters. But I think that she is softening towards Silvia."

"It does help that they are the only ones stayng in the Guest Wing of the manor," Opera deduced. "Even with Sabro and Kerori visiting them every day, they must feel a bit alone."

"I felt bad about that too... but I just can't bring myself to invite them into the East Wing," Iruma explained with a guilty frown. "This hormones are so weird."

"You've gotten used to them wonderfully," Sullivan praised his grandson. "Don't feel bad, the girls understand that perfectly. It is the same with me not inviting anyone from your pack other than Kalego or you into the West Wing." He sipped his tea, as he smiled at Irume. "Now enough of this guilt! How is your training coming around?"

Right, now that Iruma had learned everything that was urgent about demonic culture and history, not to mention, he's gotten his new strenght and flight abilities mastered, he has started his training on his blood skill called Gluttonous King Beelzebuth. Which let's say had everyone that was aware of it speechless. If Iruma had not been on their side, they would have been scared shitless about it.

Ali-san then came out of his ring with a proud and mischievous smile. "It's going incredibly well!" He exclaimed, moving to the other side of the table when Iruma had tried to shut him up. "His blood skill has so many smaller skills under its umbrella that it even shocked me!"

"What kind of smaller skills?" Kalego asked curiously, glaring at Iruma who looked ready to protest.

Iruma sighed and slumped on his chair, before ansnwering: "The first skill is Predation, it allows me to absorb my target into my body. It includes organic matter, inorganic matter, skills, and magic. It can be used at a range and can now even affect space itself. If I am absorbing organic matter I better make sure they are unconscious, otherwise the success rate decreases. It doesn't seem to have a limit to how much I can absorb." Iruma looked down with a blush, when he noticed his family's shocked expressions. "Then there's Stomach, it is similar to Predation. I can absorb any target into it, but instead of being absorbed into my being, thwy'll be stored in Stomach. Items, people, anything, and they are not affected by time. So, if I store food there, it won't go to waste."

"That's so overpowered..." Opera murmured stunned.

"Well, Delkira could create islands with a wave of his hand," Sullivan coughed. "I would not be surprised that Iruma is able to destroy Islands with a wave of his hand, he is a Demi Demon as well."

"I want to know how he knows all of this!" Kalego exclaimed.

"Ali-san seem to have been upgraded when I raised to Vav rank," Iruma answered his mom. "In He rank he was able to analyze my surroundings and opponents, then deduce they best way to deal with any situation. In Vav rank he is now able to do the same, but with me. So, he can aid me to level my strength, magic, and speed. Analyze my abilities and tell me how to get better. Analyzing my blood skill called Gluttonous King Beelzebuth was a piece of cake for him."

"Ha ha ha! You tell them Master! I am fabulous!" Ali-san paraded around the table proudly, basking under the stunned expressions of Iruma's family. "As for the other skills that my Master possess, one of them is Mimicry, which allows him to replicate the appearance, skills, and abilities of the absorbed targets. However, the degree of how much depends on the successful analysis and acquisition of the information regarding the target." By now Kalego, Opera, and Sullivan were openly gaping. "Isolation, allows him to isolate harmful materials or unnecessary for analysis. Gluttonous King Beelzebuth also has Corrosion, the ability to decompose the target. It woks hand in hand with Predation."

Suddenly, Ali-san shut up, making warning bells ring in Kalego's head. "What else?" He asked slowly, making sure to glare at the two. "What are you keeping from us?"

"You can trust us, we will support you whatever it is," Sullivan pressed, smiling gently at Iruma, who shrank into himself.

"Ah," the Demi Demon sighed deeply. "Sould Consumption, it's a skill that can only be aactivated when a target loses their will to resist. Once they do, I can reap the marked target's sould, even if the target has recovered their will to live and fight." He evaded the gazes of his family. "That's why I did not want to say anything... it's a dark and horrible skill..."

"It's a skill that will save our kingdom if we ever go to war," Sullivan corrected him seriously. Iruma looked up shocked at the tone of voice of his normally cheerful grannpa. "It's a talent you should be proud of but at the same time use carefully. You are no longer human, Iruma. As a Demi Demon you should start getting used to your darker instincts and emotions. While kindness allowed you to build your pack and the connections you possess now, it was your slyness and shrewdness that allowed you to capitalize on them and thrive in the Noble Society of the Netherworld."

"We do not hate you, Iruma," Opera told his son gently.

"So, you should not hate yourself," Kalego completed his mate's thought.

"Grampa, dad, mom," Iruma murmured, as tears of relief and happiness rolled down his cheeks. "I love you!"

Kalego caught his son, as he threw himself on his chest and hugged him tenderly.

I will make sure no one hurts him ever again, everyone thought as they looked over the crying Iruma. That's a promise!
