Ages: Shu - 9, Reiji - 8, Laito, Ayato and Kanato - 7 and Subaru - 6.

Cordelia's POV
I have been in Diabolik lovers for years now and I cannot help but feel content with it. I was pushed into a position that I didn't think was possible. That's not to say that I don't enjoy being here, I have come to love it in my own way.

I must admit the characters have grown on me, even idiot known as Karlheinz. Honestly, the man grows on people like fungus, he's hard to get rid of. Beatrix is still quite strict although she is more lenient towards Shu about him being the heir to he family. She sometimes has conversations Reiji, however small they may be.

That brings me to my adorable triplets. Laito, Kanato and Ayato. Mammas boys are the best words to describe them, if I do say so myself. I wish I had a camera so I could document their growth. (All the adorable things that they did) Sadly this time period doesn't have cameras, yet. I'm working on it...

Ah, I'm getting of topic here. Anyways, Christa. Poor innocent Christa has began to lose her sanity due to the realisation that her 'Onii-sama' doesn't love her. The only reason that she hasn't completely lost it yet is because of Subaru and her 'Onee-sama'. The saddest thing is that I promised her that I would look after Subaru if anything was to happen to her. I cried when she told me that. I really hope that it doesn't come to that.

I have been speaking to the real Cordelia or Lia as I call her now. It's to confusing having the same name, so I shortened hers. Her reaction was amusing to say the least when I first started to call her that. She had a surprised expression, probably because I was the first to treat her as an actual person and give her a cute nickname. I had no reason to completely hate her because she hadn't harmed the children or at least to the extent in the anime. A few snide comments was the most she had done but never anything physical, according to her.

She had access to my memories and so I came clean to her. Lia looked remorseful when I told her what she had done to her own children. We grew closers as friends, a clingy friend. And she got over her obsession with Karlheinz, mostly. She would still sleep with him if the occasion occurred. In her words 'He is the finest specimen in the world'. I couldn't help but agree to an extent, the man was indeed a looker.

The man himself, Karlheinz is a far cry from the anime. He's like a child that wants attention 24/7. My triplets are better behaved than him and they're 7 years old. I wonder if he was dropped as a child, that would explain a few things... As time passed I learned to accept his overbearing and annoying presence.

When the man child becomes serious he is a force to be reckoned with. A sadist with yandere tendencies. I did try to include the man with all the children but they disliked him. I think the feelings were mutual. I never thought that I could see a child, my child out glare the man. Kufufu as expected as one of my children.

Our little masterpiece, operation Oreos has been in operation since that night. Steps 1 and 2 have been accomplished. It might have been slow but as they say patience is bitter but it's fruit is sweeter. Elizabeth has been the talk of the aristocratic gossip circles. The numerous affairs that she had and was having have come to light. Let's just say that the ladies weren't to happy with her, sleeping with the husbands. This caused her to be enemy number one in the eyes of the ladies.

There's other rumours about her, that she had been conspiring with our enemy's. Our father, the demon lord had heard of her scandalous ways and the other rumour was just the icing of the cake. He had his men look into, the ones that Elizabeth hadn't slept with. It turned out to be party true. Elizabeth has slept with some of his enemy's. When he found he was furious with her. He was that made that he stripped her of her noble title. He was a bit merciful as he allowed her to keep the money and items that she had.

Well for my reputation, it has been more positive in the recent years. The ladies view me as less of a threat to them because I have cut back on the flirting with their husbands. We also have our hatred of Elizabeth in common. I have been invited to more tea parties and balls. I sometimes bring my children and with permission, the others. The ladies cannot help but adore.

The plan is at step 3, to make those willing to associate with Elizabeth 'disappear'. To mine and Karlheinz's surprise it was actually fewer than we had anticipated. The ones that were willing to associate with Elizabeth were only doing it out of politeness and pity which meant that it would be easy to make them change their minds. A few scandals with the associates should be enough for them to back off and leave her a complete social outcast.

Step 4 is in its stages to commerce. The seduction of Elizabeth via Karlheinz. What a way to die. Well not for long, Karl would probably use her heart for his grand scheme, to create a superior race.

I'm following the saying 'keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer'. Elizabeth is currently staying with us at the manor. I don't know how many times that I wanted to maim the bitch for her snide comments and attitude. What can a girl do? Apart from send their dogs on her. Kufufu, I think she now has a fear of dogs. Lia was particularly amused at the lovely scene, going so far as to help me come up with ideas on how to terrorise her. Who knew that cutlery could be so deadly.

Karlheinz better hurry up and seduce her so I can get ride of her. I think I might start to plan her leaving party. Ritcher has also been coming to the manor more often, at least he's not trying to flirt with me. I believe that we have become some-what friends or allies. Of course Karl has to watch our interactions like a hawk.

I have a busy day ahead of me but first breakfast. When I got there, I saw my kawii children already at the table, such good little children. I took a seat next to Beatrix and Christa.

"Good morning, onee-sama. Did you sleep well?"" Christa, questioned with a small gentle  smile. In contrast to her eyes. Dark bags peaked through the makeup that she was clearly wearing.

"Yes, I did. Did you sleep well last night?" I asked, knowing the answer but I did it out of politeness. She pondered for a moment.

"I... guess I did have an okay sleep." She didn't face me, finding better comfort at looking at the floor. This is awkward. Think, what to change the subject to.

"My little Kanato has learned a new song. Would you like to hear it after breakfast?" I gave her a dazzling smile. Before she could reply Beatrix cut in.

"I would also like to hear your 'songbird' as you call him." Beatrix said looking at Kanato. He blushed at her gaze. How cute.

"Mother I would love to sing for all of you after breakfast." Kanato told us with a cheery smile. "What song should I sing? I know lots but I can't pick..." I hushed the boy.

"Sing your favourite one. Scarborough Fair, was it?"

"Oh, I like that song." Christa laughed. Her laughter was contagious even the strict Beatrix had a smile. "Subaru, would you like to listen as well? We can sit near the roses." Subaru gave a shy smile to his mother.

"I suppose we might as well all go. Shu, I will permit you to have a break today from studying. And Reiji you are invited as well to come." Beatrix told her two sons. Shu looked happy at not study and Reiji looked pleased at being invited by his mother.

"I see all of yous arrived before me." Elizebeth appeared. A cheap looking red jewel on her neck. She caught me looking at it. "I see that your looking at my new piece of jewellery. It's one of a kind you know." She practically bragged to us. Can you please just go away before I freeze you. She sat right next to Karl's seat.

After a few tense moments the servants brought the food in. Breakfast was surprisingly quick for which I was grateful for. And no, I didn't kill her.

Kanato started to sing for all of us, it was beautiful. "Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme"
He truly sings beautifully and the others agree with me. "Remember me to one who lives there
For once she was a true love of mine" We all clapped after Kanato finished his song.

Sadly I had to go and do work, so I had asked the Christa to keep an eye on the triplets and make sure that they don't do anything stupid. I was signing and going over proposals for new orphanages. In the anime the orphanages where horrific, going over some of the nearby ones I found human trafficking to be very high. I want to change this.

I have already started on one orphanage. Before I bought the place, the conditions was terrible. The children barely received anime descent food, education and clothes. A majority  of the females and some of the males were and went into prostitution. I was sickened at the sight but not surprised, not at all. I live in the era when the nobility rains supreme

I started renovating the orphanage about a year ago. It know has a better education, clothing and food, by commoner standards. Adoption rates have increased drastically from 1 a year to 2 a month. I also make sure that the children are going to descent loving family. I did have to take care of one man who wanted to adopt one of the girls. Thanks to my 'special' message no one else has tried to do the same thing. Even though it's only one it's still a start... I grumbled in annoyance at the hundreds of sheets of paper in front. Sigh, I better get started.

Christa POV
When onii-sama proposed it was the beast day of my life. How could it not be? When the person you love the most wishes to spend the rest of your lives together. But there was a problem, he had two other wives, Beatrix and Cordelia. He already has two sons from Beatrix and three coming from Cordelia. Would I be able to compete with that? Give him a son that he can be proud of?

Beatrix is okay, she wouldn't do anything to me but Cordelia on the other hand... I have meet her once previously at a ball. This first word that I could think of to describe her was 'whore'. She acted like one, flirting with all the married men and even sleeping with some, from what I heard.

The weirdest thing happened, after Cordelia gave birth to her triplets. Her personality changed, for the better. She was even nice to me. When I found out that I was pregnant with Subaru, I feared that she would revert back to her old ways but she didn't. His birth was a painful process and Karlheinz barely made it in time. Cordelia helped me with Subaru's birth every step of the way. She is my precious onee -Sama like Karlheinz was my Onii-sama.

Years went by and I came to realise that Onee-sama doesn't love me, that he is using me. It left my mind broken, I have these episodes were I lash out, especially at Subaru. I...I fear for him what if I hurt him what if I... kill him. I made Cordelia to protect him if I completely lose myself.

"Mother... mother... mother..." My sons voice broke me out of my pondering. Despite my dislike for you father I could never hate you.

"Yes, my sweet child?" I asked him with a warm smile.

"You didn't respond, I was worried." He gave a bashful look.

"You don't have to be worried for me. Now go and play with the others and be careful of the lake."

"Yes, mother" he replied and looked at the other boys. "Let's play hide and seek, Laito you count first."

The boys played the game for hours only stopping for the snacks brought by the maids. I sat reading a book next to the roses. Elizabeth walked out with a smug smile. Her eyes met mine and she walked over.

"Ah, what do we have here? An unfavoredwife. Tut tut tut. No wonder he needs me to satisfy him if this is all you have to offer him." I felt a pang in my heart hearing the words but I can not help but still have some feelings for him. Even if he is using another woman. Love is a dangerous emotion.

"Why are you here Elizabeth? You didn't come all the way just to tell me that." I glared at her. I swear if she tried anything...

"I'm looking for my dear nephews, the triplets. I wonder where they are? I think I hear Ayato over there." Elizabeth then left me. What if she did something to them? She wouldn't dare, Cordelia would immediately end her life if that was to happen. I couldn't help but have a sense of dark satisfaction at imaging her death at Cordelia's hand.

Anyone's POV
Elizebeth made her way over to Ayato, who was hiding behind the trees near the lake. Ayato was roughly pulled out from behind the tree by Elizabeth.

"What are you doing?" Yelled Ayato with a glare. Immediately frowning at his 'lovely aunt. "Let me go you stupid woman!"

"Now is that anyway to talk to your dear auntie. I could be your new mother, better than Cordelia." Elizebeth spat the name.

"Like father would ever go for you. Mother is much better than you. You make prostitutes look like nuns and that's pretty hard." Ayato said with a smirk. Before he knew it, he was slapped in the face by Elizabeth.

"Insolent child. I gave you a chance now drown like a dog." Elizebeth pushes Ayato into the lake. Ayato tried to keep his head up and take in breaths of air but was failing to do so.

Cordelia appeared, having finished her work. Jumped into the lake and carried Ayato out. "Do not think this is over." Cordelia told Elizabeth with venom in her voice. If looks could kill Elizabeth would be dead.

Cordelia's room
Ayato refused to let Cordelia go, so she decided to let him sleep with her tonight."Mother what's an OREO?" Ayato asked with curiosity

"Where did you hear that word?" Cordelia Questioned.

"I heard it from father. It isn't a bad word, is it?" Ayato gave an innocent look

"No, it isn't. An Oreo is a type of biscuit."

"Is it delicious?"

"I suppose.."

"Mother from now on call me the grey Oreo-sama!"

'Omg, Karl's infected our son with his stupidity." Thought Cordelia. She nearly face planted at the stupidity, at least Ayato had an excuse he was just a child.

"Mother, what are we going to do about Elizabeth?"

"Darling there is no 'we', it's what 'I' am going to do to her. I shouldn't be discussing this with you. Now time for bed."

"But..."

"No buts..."

"Of course but your way better than her anyway."

"Anyone is better than your aunt"

"I guess that is true."
