"Our king has fallen," Spear Valk stared at the red mist on the cobblestone entrance.
"Yes he has," Scythe Valk, added with a look of acceptance.
"What shall we do now?" Flail Valk questioned
"Shall we continue our fight," Kara wished to continue where they left off,"
"No, fighting this man will do us no good, it will only spell our demise," Spear Valk said giving a definite answer.
The Valkyries discussed the situation, the sudden death of their lord would lead to inevitable political problems as he was a figure that couldn't be taken lightly.
"So...what will you guys do?" Dante was standing right beside them without them feeling his presence.
The Valkyries looked at each other, as they all got on one knee, paying respects to their new lord.
"We shall serve you as our lord until the day we fall!" The Valkyries chanted in unison.
"Good, now what are your names," Dante asked with a
"Regina, my lord!" The spear Valk said
"Freyja, my lord!" The sword Valk said
"Kara, my lord!" The gauntlet Valk said
"Eira, my lord!" The scythe Valk said
"Oh, and what's her name?" Dante said, pointing to the hole in the wall where a large framed woman lay unconscious.
"Her name is Hilda, my lord," Regina answered in an instant.
"Thank you. Now all of you disperse and make sure what has happened here does not reach the outside world, Oh, and take Hilda somewhere to rest," Dante commanded the Valkyries as he didn't wish to draw too much attention just yet.
"As you command Your Highness!" the Valkyries chanted in unison as they disappeared in an instant.
Dante walked away from the scene followed by Sinsohka who was carrying Alfonso on its back. walking into the palace Dante looked around to see the spotless hall of pictures and sculptures of past royalty, Walking deeper into the building he came across many servants who had not known yet of the death of their king. Dante came upon the dining hall of the royal family, kicking the door down Dante saw no one in the room.
"Find them," Dante calmly said as his many clones became invisible and dispersed into the gigantic palace.
'Already?' Dante was surprised at the speed at which his clones found the royal family. Down the hall, a room hidden behind a sculpture that seemed to be a trap door was found. Dante pressed a button, activating the trap door.
"Click!"
A door behind the sculpture was unlatched showcasing a set of stairs leading underground Dante took a torch off of the wall, lit it, and waltzed down the stairs coming to a steal door that had to be opened by someone with royal magic power such as Adam, but sadly he was now deceased. Dante touched the door lightly, the steel felt almost frozen as a clear frost could be seen over the giant door, summoning a small flame Dante melted the door. Molten metal dripped to the floor as Dante walked into the fairly sized bunker, he heard a soft voice in the corner of the room
"Little lord, it's ok his highness will be back in a little while, just please be patient,"
"Gloria is right my son Adam will be back soon enough Please don't cry",
Two women sat at a table in the corner of the room, one in a maid outfit with dark purple hair on her head, two pointy ears peered over her headwear, a tail could be seen beneath her skirt, and her chest was slightly flight her ass voluptuous. she was a cat beast-kin. The other woman wore an all-white noble dress, her head full of long blond hair her eyes a clear jade green, her breasts plentiful her legs as thick as could be. Both of them were comforting a baby seemingly no older than a year.
"Wah!"
"No little lord you mustn't cry," the maid said as she unbuttoned her shirt, preparing to breastfeed the baby.
"Waaaaaah!" The baby screamed to the top of his lungs.
"Ahem!" Dante cleared his throat which could still be heard over the loud cries of the baby. The cough caught the attention of both women taking both of them by surprise but not for long.
"Whoosh!"
The maid slashed at Dante's neck with her void black dagger leaving no room for discussion, Dante caught her wrist, breaking it he quickly struck the nape of the maid rendering her unconscious.
"I hope you know that you are trespassing on the royal palace of Magnolia, you have made an irreversible mistake. You bastard criminal!" The woman in noble clothing yelled a Dante as she backed away with the baby in her arms.
"Shut up," Dante said as he approached the woman, snatching the baby from her hands he cradled it in his arms.
"GIVE HIM BACK!" The woman ran towards Dante, ready to die to get her son back
"Tch!" Dante clicked his tongue as he appeared behind the woman chopping the back of her neck.
"Carrying them and follow me," Dante ordered Sinsohka as he carried the baby in his arms while walking out of the bunker. Sinsohka increased its, gently wrapping its tail around the women it slithered after its master.
Upstairs the baby had stopped its whines as it played with a toy Dante had created.
"Gyah!" The baby raised its hands to Dante's face.
"You are quite noisy," Dante commented as he planted his finger in the small hand of the child. Dante had walked up a few flights of stairs followed by Sinsohka. When he came across a room that he assumed to be the royal bed chambers because several guards were patrolling this level of the palace, covering the baby's ears he quickly got rid of the guards

"Drop the Queen on the bed and take the other to the infirmary," Dante commanded Sinsohka as he walked into the room. The baby had fallen asleep, exhausted from playing with its new toy, Dante laid the baby beside the unconscious Queen as he sat in the rocking chair beside the bed.
'System,' Dante thought.

Also, Create a pact that can never be broken that states that Party 2(Valkyries) can never betray Party 1(Dante),' Dante told the system in great detail, careful to not be too vague.

" Valk Serum," Dante replied.
'Valkyries Come here' his thought shook the kingdom as his aura surged attracting the women and scaring the hell out of the child lying a few feet from him.
"Wah?!" The baby awoke, ready to cry as he had done earlier
"Oh, my bad," Dante said apologetically as he picked the baby up from the bed. While rocking the child back to sleep Dante looked at the sleeping Queen surprised that she didn't wake up even after that incident just now.
"As Dante put the baby back down the five Valkyries appeared behind him,"
"Is there a problem, your maje-" The Valkyries greeted in unison before raising their heads to see to the two individuals in the room alongside their King.
"Your majesty...They are," Regina commented with an awkward look.
"Don't worry about them and take these," Dante said as he threw 5 syringes filled with golden liquid toward the Valkyries. After which he warned them of what great pain they would experience if they injected this but that didn't deter the Valkyries.
"Also...Sign this" Dante commanded as he retrieved a piece of paper from the void handing it to the five of them, along with a magical pen. After the women signed it he took it back storing it in his inventory. The five left the room eager to gain power for themselves with the Valk serum, as their power had become stagnant as of late.
"Yawn" Dante rubbed his eyes as he walked over towards the bed laying on the other side of the bed he shut his eyes his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
