Leone Elena Luna Elderblood was having a busy day. It all started when suddenly one of her sisters said that they would learn to help their Father with The Empire, something she agreed with 100%. With everything she learned in the Dream World, she was confident that she could handle The Empire. But... She overestimated herself. In fact, they all underestimated everything very severely, and what they learned in the Dream World didn’t even qualify for The Empire that their Father had created. Yes, what they learned helped them manage, interact, and understand other people without having to use their Powers, and you could say that they grew as people. But helping in the Administration of The Empire? That was far from happening. The scale of the things her Father did was on a scale of planning for entire Galaxies. Her sisters, including herself, were ambitious, and they didn’t want to stay in their Father’s Personal World—even though it was a lot of fun there and there were a lot of things to do—they wanted to help her Father directly! They wanted to be useful! But... They may have really underestimated the level of Administration that went into everything. Yes, her Father and Mothers made it seem like it was a very simple task to do, but it wasn’t until she got into the nuances of The Empire’s context that she quickly understood that she was very wrong. As Imperial Princesses, Daughters of The Emperor, and the Highest-Ranking Goddesses in the Pantheon, they had responsibilities just by existing and needed to behave with nobility, charm, and impeccable attitudes. After all, any action they took could negatively affect The Emperor himself. Even if no one dared to express anything out of fear, they might think, ’Is this what The Emperor’s Daughters are like?’ A thought that would definitely lead to the death of many at the hands of their own parents. After all, they were very overprotective. The point is: They must be an example to be followed. They cannot behave spoiled like Lilith Tepes, the Daughter of The Vampire King. If they want to help their Father, they must understand that by assuming an Administrative position, any actions they take would not affect just one or two Beings but millions, and in some cases, potentially affecting billions or trillions of Beings. The number may seem exaggerated, but if you consider The Empire’s expansion policy and how every day they annexed a solar system to their control in this Galaxy, it was not an exaggeration to think about it. "Gahh, this is harder than I thought it would be." Unable to take it anymore, she complained in frustration. Fortunately, they were already in their personal quarters, which were given to all the Princesses. Returning to her ’normal’ height, using her Powers to remove that tight dress for white sneakers, jeans, and a black top that showed off her very well-built 6-pack abs, and putting on a shirt that left her shoulders free, she sat on the couch. Her choice of clothes was very much inspired by the clothes her Mother wore when she was younger, a casual and sporty outfit. Taking her long white hair that had black tips like a white tiger, she messed it up and then straightened it, throwing it back. The next moment, a bow of violet butterflies was created at the end of her hair, a hairstyle that reminded her a lot of a video game character she liked called Tifa. Looking at the tip of her hair that now rested at the height of her knees, she nodded in satisfaction. It was good to be back to ’normal’. "...How inappropriate." Leone snorted and looked at her sister, who was a sculpted copy of her Mother with only a few features of her Father. "Stop acting pompous, Irene, you disliked it just as much as I did." "...Well, that’s true." Irene Elderblood, Daughter of Aphrodite and Victor, nodded, sighing afterward. "I don’t wonder why our parents talked so much if that was really what we wanted." The weight of responsibility weighed on the sisters as they heard Irene’s words. Everyone here knew very well how important The Empire was to their parents. Valentina Victoria Elderblood, Victor and Violet’s Daughter, returned to her normal childlike appearance and looked at her younger sister Irene. "Just because it’s hard, are you going to give up?" Hearing their older sister’s words, the younger sisters fell silent. Of Victor’s ’natural’ children who were not created by him through his Powers, Aphrodite, Persephone, Metis, Nyx, Gaia, Hestia, Anna, and Jeanne’s Daughters were the youngest Daughters. Anna and Jeanne’s Daughters were the youngest of the group since they had the longest gestation time out of all the Mothers. "I won’t give up. Our Father finally accepted our request, thanks to Stella, and we need to take advantage of this." The youngest’s Power was always the strongest in convincing her Father, after all, she was the youngest. Valentina nodded in satisfaction. "Exactly. Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean we should give up. We need to keep learning at our own pace and not rush things." Looking at her sister. "How long are you going to imitate our Mother’s appearance?" Leone pouted, and then her appearance shrank and became the same size as her sister, losing all the mature appearances from before, and returned to her normal self, although her clothes didn’t change. "Let me abuse this a little more." "You know the rules, sis. Don’t abuse it." Siren Elderblood, the Daughter of Victor and Scathach, spoke. "Fiiine." It was an unspoken rule that everyone must show their true appearance and not use their metamorphosis Powers to change themselves, like becoming more adult, growing more ’active’, or anything like that, since they were already perfect the way they were. They were all Victor’s Daughters, after all, and they each inherited his supernatural beauty that could make even a rock or black hole blush. Another reason for this unspoken rule was so that they didn’t forget who they were in an attempt to imitate their Mothers. After all, they weren’t their Mothers, and they don’t need to imitate them. A mistake that Leone tended to forget too much, after all, she liked to imitate a little of her Mother’s style when she was younger. The sisters began to spread around, each one returning to their normal appearance, some more cautious ones looked around and reinforced the room by bending Reality to prevent anyone from entering. Seeing a group of redheads in a suspicious circle, including Hestia, Pepper, Lacus, Siena, and Helena’s Daughters, Leone narrowed her eyes. "What are you doing?" She asked the sisters, but the sisters didn’t answer her and continued to observe something. Leone narrowed her eyes even more and looked at the one who was most likely to answer the question, sneaking up behind her and nudging her. "Fueee?" The spitting image of Pepper and Victor mixed together looked at Leone. "What are you guys doing?" "Watching..." "Watching what?" "The clouds?" "We’re in a room." "...We can see through the wall." "You’re looking down." "The Earth is round, Sis. Didn’t you know that?" "Actually, the Earth is flattened at the poles." "Fuee? Is that true?" "Didn’t you pay attention in class?" "..." Priscilla Penny Elderblood wisely decided to exercise her right to remain silent. Leone narrowed her eyes and became even more curious now. She looked at the sisters, who were making a barrier of red hair and were even using their Powers to hide what they were doing. It was at that moment that she found a suspect among her red-haired sisters. Yog was there. Her sister, who could break the Laws of Reality, was there... disguising herself with red hair. Okay, and she was even more curious now. She turned her gaze to Priscilla, and her gaze intensified. "..." Priscilla began to sweat slightly. She knew that look on her sister’s face very well. She was about to play dirty. "I’ll tell our mother Anna that you were-." With ridiculous speed, Priscilla put her hand over Leone’s mouth. Even though she couldn’t see it because of her hand, Priscilla knew that Leone was smiling now. Showing a personality similar to Victor’s, Priscilla narrowed her eyes dangerously and muttered. "One more word, and I’ll tell Mother Anna what you were looking for in your Mother’s room." Leone’s eyes widened in shock. ’How does she know that!? I’d erased all my tracks!’ Priscilla let go of Leone’s face and returned to the innocent and air-headed expression she always had. "Truce?" Leone proposed. "Truce." Priscilla accepted. The two shook hands in agreement. All the sisters had some level of rottenness towards each other. After all, despite most of the time following the rules, they were still from a Race that was the perfect mix of a True Dragon and a Noble Vampire, Races very well known for following their desires. "So... What are you doing?" "..." Priscilla looked at Leone with a face that said: haven’t you given up yet? Leone continued to look up with intense eyes. Sighing slightly, Priscilla took Leone’s hand and pulled her towards the group. At some point, Leone’s white hair with black tips turned completely red, and she entered the circle. As soon as she got close, an invisible ’barrier’ was crossed and Leone realized that this barrier was created with the Power to alter Reality. She didn’t know who was doing it since every one of them could do it. It was a very simple Technique actually for them. But seeing what Yog was doing, she dismissed her previous thoughts. That wasn’t a Reality altering barrier, but something closer to what her Mother Natalia did. It was a manipulation of Space, along with her sister’s Null Powers. ’That’s why I couldn’t observe anything.’ She thought. "...We’re observing our new sister," Pepper’s Daughter explained. "Oh?" Looking where her sisters were looking, she saw her Father and Mother Scathach, training with her new sister. "...He’s giving her the training, huh." "Yes... She’s very unlucky. She was just born and has to deal with our Father and Mother Scathach." "...By the way, how are you observing this?" "Using my Powers, of course," Yog said as he snorted upwards with his nose in the air. "With our Father around?" Leone found it hard to believe. "Of course, he’s allowing me to do this. If he didn’t allow it, I wouldn’t be able to access that place." Yog wasn’t arrogant enough to think she could surpass her Father in this. Seeing her Father’s smile grow, and how he looked at them for a few seconds while making a gesture for silence, proved Yog’s words correct. Then he went back to talking to their new sister, although none of them could hear anything he was saying or even interpret it by lip reading. Waking up from her stupor, Leone blushed slightly and said to her sisters: "... You recorded what he did, right? Right? Say yes!" "..." Seeing everyone’s silence proved that no one had recorded anything, she grumbled even more. "I was stunned, dammit! I was supposed to have recorded it. I could sell it to my Mother in exchange for benefits!" "What a capitalist mentality you have there, sister." "Don’t point fingers at me, you would do the same." Leone snorted at her sister. Sylvia Elderblood, who was the Daughter of Victor and Siena, blushed slightly when she heard what her sister said, but she did not deny her words. "Leone, stop yelling and just watch," Priscilla grumbled. "... Fine." ....
