Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Alice Ashborn

Vespera's drive soon pulled into their mansion's parking space, and Elizabeth, her servant, opened the door for her with a minor bow.

The Monarch of Shadows then slowly walked up the stairs, took a left, then a right turn in the luxurious hallways adorned by incalculably expensive paintings and sculptures until she was greeted by an out-of-place pink, girly door that was decorated by drawings of flowers and cute animals.

It had a giant 'DO NOT DISTURB!' sign on it.

Vespera took a deep breath to calm herself and prepare to face her.

*Knock knock knock*

She firmly tapped her knuckles on the eccentrically decorated door.

"Leave me alone!" A feminine cry welcomed her gesture with a coarse voice. She had been audibly bawling her eyes out for a long while.

"It's me," Vespera said.

The room's occupant didn't respond for a good ten minutes. The mother stood in place motionlessly as she patiently waited.

"Is it done...?" a soft, barely audible whisper that has lost all its edge asked. Its owner had moved close to the door based on the proximity of her weak voice.

"Yes."

Another silence ensued save for the girl's renewed wailing, but she finally opened the door after a while, revealing a short female that had lush black hair ending in adorable twintails. She rushed out of the door and dashed into Vespera's embrace with a force that would've easily sent a commoner straight to the afterlife upon impact, but the Shadow Monarch didn't even flinch.

The black-haired woman did her best not to show emotions as she began petting Alice's head and hugging her daughter with her other hand.

Alice nestled her head into Vespera's bosom and allowed her mother's jacket to act as her tear-storing tissue since she was crying her heart out at the moment.

"I will never abandon my big brother, no matter if he's legally my brother or not!" Alice decreed a few minutes later once she managed to calm down enough to hold a conversation.

"I know."

"You better disown me too because if any of my so-called 'family members' attempt to hurt Kai even after you went this far, I will murder them in cold blood and burn this cursed mansion down with all of us still in it." Her statement was uttered in the same cold, lifeless tone the public knew Vespera to speak, and there was not even a shred of doubt in the mother's mind that her daughter would do exactly as she promised.

"Say cheese!" Nyx instructed while she held her phone in her hand and snapped a few selfies with all four of them in the frame.

As the member responsible for their social media presence, it was up to the pink-haired beauty to snap some good photos to be used as their profile picture. They decided to create a team page under the name 'Valhalla's Sinners.'

It took some deliberation between the four members to arrive at this name. Sadly, Kaiden's preferred handle— Kaiden's Sexy Sinners—was unanimously rejected.

The debate was between Valhalla and Sinners mostly.

Valhalla was thematically fitting for the Valkyrie Sub-System, and Nyx also insisted that he was their Odin, so it was sort of a no-brainer group name to select.

Sinners, on the other hand, was fitting due to the group being led by the Paragon of Sin and the fact that they planned to rise to stardom through unconventional, shameless methods.

Ultimately, they decided on the best of both worlds, that being Valhalla's Sinners.

He opened his status window to check his progress.
