Saying her King was an odd one was an understatement.

Not that it was a bad thing, however, compared to her previous king and the other devils she had encountered her current King was the kindest of them all perhaps too kind for a devil. Even the maids in the Gremory household treated her like an outsider.

At least until her King offered to make her, her queen. After she was Rias's Queen their treatment turned a 180. but she never trusted anyone, save for her nee-sama or sempai. This came as quite a surprise for Shirone. There was only one queen piece for each set.

The Queen piece also was the single most Valuable and powerful piece. So why waste such a piece on her?

There was nothing she could do even if her king had less than noble intentions for her.

She highly doubted that her King could surpass her Previous King and Sirzechs in how cruel and manipulative they were. She may look young but she knew that devils only valued strength, she also knew what actually happened to her sister. NO matter what Propaganda the Mao spread, she would bide her time and get stronger. Strong enough that one day she could make the Mao pay for spreading lies about her sister and locking her up.

The stronger one was the more one's words weight. That was the way the devil's worked.

Sirzechs and Lady Leviathans words were worth their weight in gold because of his overwhelming power.

They could destroy entire countries on a whim.

When she first met her king, she was injured and Lying on bed.

As she expected, Sirzechs offered her to her king on a silver platter.

However, what happened next surprised her.

Instead of claiming her then and there as a pawn for her plaything, she asked all the others to leave.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Her body trembled in sorrow. So her king wanted her body? They didn't even consider her a living thing!

As the would be king called her over patting her bed, she stumbled forward with wavy steps. Trying to delay the in inevitable even bit longer.

Her wounds and hunger left her tired hungry and hurt.

As she neared the bed her soon to be king seemed to take a closer look at her. but when Shirone saw her eyes. They were not filled with greed, lust or disgust rather they were filled with warmth and sorrow.

Unlike with other devils, all she could sense from her was warmth, joy, and sorrow. It was a well Kept-secret among the Nekoshou. There ability to sense the emotions of others. No other devil's currently alive knew of that ability other than her and nee-sama.

So when her soon to be king gave her a hug of all things needless to say she was quite surprised but was able to calm down knowing that she was different from other devils.

"It's alright, don't worry. Are you Hungry?" Was the first question she received.

*GROOOOWL* Her stomach had an absolutely terrible sense of timing.

Instead of getting angry, her soon to be king seemed to only grow more sorrowful. Why was she sad for her? Someone she just met? That can't be! It must be something else.

She saw a magic circle glowing and out of it came FOOD.

She didn't know what kind of food it was but her nose wouldn't lie to her.

The box was opened and, her would-be king took a piece of it and dangled it before eating it right in front of her. Was this supposed to be torture? Why didn't she sense any evil intent from her then? How did she hide them?

Her train of thought was interrupted. "Please sit down and have some."

What? Sure she was mistaken? She looked at the steaming 'thing' that released an absolutely delicious mouth-watering aroma.

She looked back expecting a vicious smile or something else, yet her would be king kept waiting and motioning her to eat.

She could not believe it. She was being given such high-class food? Surely it was expensive. Then was she genuinely a nice person?

It was a concept that was difficult for little Shirone to comprehend. She checked again. There was not a bit of evil intent directed at her.

"....Really? I can eat?.... She whispered in a daze as if it would suddenly turn in to a nightmare.

"Of course," a gentle smile graced her would be king's face.

Her knees nearly gave out as she sat next to her would be king and began to devour the pizza with gusto unable to resist the pain of hunger any longer.

When she finished it all realizing it. she turned around and saw anger. A lot of anger, she froze. But the anger soon turned to confusion and then joy.

Another delicious round food was given to her. Her mouth dropped saliva without her knowing.

Traitorous Mouth.

Traitorous stomach.

Traitors the both of them.

"...Sorry.." She apologized hoping that she was not punished for dirtying the bed.

"It's alright."

Then her head was pet.

Nice head pats.

It's been so long since she got head pats.

"Tell me, what's your name?"

Her name?

".....shi.." "....ro...." " ....ne...." she said as she wondered what it was named as she bit into it chewy and cheesy bread and meat food.

Then came a hard question.

"Alright, then would you like to join my peerage?

However, she was only thinking about her stomach at that time.

"......Can I eat food every day?"

She remembered her king giving her another hug as her sorrow nearly overwhelmed her.

She still remembers her king comforting her.

She was now very sure that she wouldn't get another chance out in hell. But she wanted to do one more test. One more test would let her judge whether she could trust her would be king.

And so she faked sleep.

Her would-be king passed with Flying colours. Perhaps she could trust her after all.

The coming days she followed her would be king everywhere she went. For two reasons. One she didn't trust anyone else and two she wanted to observe and learn more about her future would be king.

She still remembers the day she was made into her queen and how she was asked if she was sure several times before the procedure went forward. No other devil would do something like that.

As days passed she grew more and more relaxed around her king or sempai as she requested to be called as helped her and talked to her as if she was her equal.

The HEAD PATS were the MOST important she got lots of head pats.

She resolved to stay by her sempai's side as her Queen. Her sempai gave her trust. Food. Took care of her. and treated her well and rescued her from the Mao's clutches. She would in turn happily follow her sempai where ever she may go. Even when sempai is stuck in this strange war between 14 people. Rias sempai didn't abandon me to my own fate. She provided her with training and trained with her.

Today's milky wake up was also especially nice.

She would continue to do her best as her sempai's most trusted Queen. No matter how strange she may behave.

She looked at her empty cone in wonder. She was sure she ordered 6 scoops. Where did her Icecream go?
