Chapter 415 Venelana ③
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Already gettin’ jealous?”
Aki laughed, givin’ Venelana’s large breast a playful squeeze. He didn’t bother defendin’ himself. “Even without usin’ this opportunity, if I really made a move, how many days you think those little maids would last?”
Venelana shot him an elegant glare and swatted away his wanderin’ hand.
She had to admit—he was right. A tool positioned like that was ultimately disposable. But havin’ one certainly lowered the risks of certain operations. As for whether Nina would betray ’em later… settin’ aside Aki’s Dual Cultivation1 ability, the Gremory household had plenty of master-servant contracts.
After a moment’s thought, she exchanged a glance with Greyfia. They decided to agree.
But before draggin’ Nina into bed, they needed to get the full story of what had happened.
”Nina…”
At her mistress’s call, the young maid who’d been sobbin’ quietly outside the door quickly responded: “Yes, my lady. I’m here.”
”Tell me exactly what happened. From the beginning.”
”Yes, ma’am.”
Nina wasn’t dumb—just naive. This time she’d roughly figured out that Venelana probably hadn’t wanted her to know somethin’. So through the closed door, she recounted the restaurant incident in detail.
After hearin’ the maid’s account, Greyfia and Venelana both let out relieved sighs. So it was just a missed dinner. And since neither of ’em had sent word, the household staff had panicked.
On the doorknob, silver magic circles flickered to life. Greyfia unlocked the magical seal. “Alright, I understand. Come in.”
Nina’s heart trembled again. Her imaginative little mind immediately started spinnin’ wild theories.
But no matter how scared or worried she was, she was powerless against Greyfia and Venelana. Steelin’ herself, she pushed open the door.
The scene inside was nothin’ like the secret meetin’s she’d imagined. But when she saw three naked figures on the bed, her brain short-circuited for a moment.
”Come serve Aki-sama.”
Greyfia rose from the bed, gesturin’ to the empty space beside Aki. Her voice was flat: “Or choose between havin’ your memory erased and death.”
Memories could be erased—and restored. If Nina refused, the most likely outcome was bein’ silenced for good.
The imaginative young maid’s body trembled as she grasped the gravity of the choice.
Comin’ back to her senses, she immediately began undressin’, then carefully crawled onto the bed.
Seein’ this, Venelana reluctantly released Aki from her embrace.
”Aki, stay here for now. I’ll come back tonight.”
With that, she greedily claimed one more passionate kiss from him before gracefully risin’ from the bed.
When the two beautiful wives had cleaned up, dressed, and left the room, Nina finally began to calm down. She’d fully grasped what kind of secret she’d stumbled into.
There was fear in her heart. And worry. And shock. But resistance? None at all.
If her own mistress and head maid had already given themselves to him, what right did a lowly maid like her have to refuse? In fact, once she understood what was about to happen, a tiny thrill of excitement stirred in her chest.
”Then let’s begin.”
Watchin’ Greyfia and Venelana leave to handle the Gremory household’s chaos, Aki didn’t hold back. He rolled over, pinnin’ the beautiful young maid beneath him—her eyes already hazy, her body flushed with heat.
Nina’s looks and figure couldn’t compete with a prodigy like Rias, but she was still top-tier. Red eyes, blonde hair, slim build, long legs—and still untouched. Every bit of her offered a uniquely delightful experience.
While Aki Dual Cultivated with Nina and taught her how to cover for ’em in the future, Venelana and Greyfia were busy dealin’ with tonight’s upheaval.
Once they appeared, the commotion quickly subsided. But explainin’ their unannounced absence was trickier. They could simply not explain—no one dared to question ’em, with Sirzechs and Georgix away. Venelana and Greyfia were the absolute authorities in the household.
Rias’s father, the current Gremory household head, was Georgix Gremory.
But even without explainin’, deliberately avoidin’ the topic could plant seeds of suspicion. After discussion, they decided on a gamble.
”Prepare a fresh dinner. Then call Georgix and Sirzechs back from their seclusion.”
Venelana, now in an evenin’ gown with long silk gloves, gave the order.
Greyfia nodded in agreement and immediately began fulfillin’ her duties as head maid, delegatin’ tasks to the waitin’ butler and maids.
Sirzechs and Georgix’s “seclusion” actually took ’em beyond the Three Realms2. But they could still be contacted—it just required a special method and some valuable resources. They trained so hard to strengthen the family; if they couldn’t be reached and the household was attacked, what was the point of all that cultivation?
The butler and maids were full of questions, but with Venelana and Greyfia offerin’ no explanation, they didn’t dare ask. Bowing deferentially, they acknowledged the order and immediately set to work.
Half an hour later.
At the long dinin’ table, Georgix Gremory—red-haired, with neatly trimmed red whiskers—sat in the single head seat. To his left and right were Sirzechs and Venelana. Despite the long rectangular table havin’ many empty seats, Greyfia and the other maidservants stood at a respectful distance. No one else was qualified to join the meal.
Even the silver-haired wife, despite her status as daughter-in-law, got no special treatment—her only privilege was standin’ close enough to hear the master family’s conversation clearly.
”So why’d you suddenly call us back?”
Georgix lifted his goblet, tastin’ the blood-red wine, and asked with mild curiosity.
Sirzechs was the Demon King outside, but at home, he was just a son. With his parents speakin’, he stayed dutifully silent—though the confusion in his eyes showed he was equally curious.
Venelana elegantly cut a small piece of the still-steamin’ steak, chewed slowly, and swallowed. Once the hunger gnawin’ at her stomach had eased slightly, she picked up her napkin, dabbed the corners of her mouth gracefully, and replied at a leisurely pace: “Nothin’ too major. Aki just broke through to God-tier3.”
She’d had a strenuous afternoon—her Life Energy had been thoroughly satisfied, and her belly had just flattened out again. But that energy only strengthened her power; it couldn’t fill her stomach. At her level, she wouldn’t starve, but hunger still made itself known. If higher power meant feelin’ less and less, what would be the point of livin’? She’d just be a puppet of strength.
Still, Venelana didn’t overdo it. Her current actions were part feminine grace, part deliberate performance to manage her husband, and part fillin’ her belly while she had the chance.
”Ha?!”
Georgix visibly blinked in surprise, then exclaimed: “You mean Aki—the one in Rias’s Peerage4? The current Red Dragon Emperor5? That kid who just broke through to Demon King-class not long ago?”
They were rhetorical questions—he wasn’t lookin’ for answers, just expressin’ his disbelief.
Before Venelana could respond, he continued: “In that case, Rias probably isn’t far from God-tier herself. We need to speed up that marriage arrangement.”
Rias’s talent was no less than his own—perhaps even stronger than Sirzechs’s. Becomin’ God-tier was only a matter of time. As her father, he had full confidence in that. Now with Aki’s miraculous Dual Cultivation talent boostin’ her, the timeline would only shorten.
Beyond that, marryin’ Aki into the family would announce to the world that the Gremorys were now bound to the current Red Dragon Emperor—gaining an additional God-tier powerhouse with limitless potential.
Sirzechs was equally excited, though his mind worked faster than his father’s.
”Mother, when exactly did Aki break through? How many people know about this?”
Hearin’ her son’s question, Venelana paused in her steak-cuttin’. Her son was definitely sharper than his father—he’d hit the crucial point immediately.
Fortunately, she and Greyfia had already planned for this. She took a sip of wine before slowly recountin’ the details of Aki’s breakthrough—adjustin’ the story slightly. The final step of overcomin’ his Heart Demon6 became an impromptu inspiration, triggered by the unique sights of the Underworld that didn’t exist in the human world. Their afternoon disappearance was re-framed as helpin’ Aki conceal the breakthrough’s energy signature and standin’ guard during the process.
As Venelana spoke, the butler and maids’ confusion dissolved completely. Understandin’ dawned on their faces.
Author’s Notes
Author’s Note: Celebrating New Year’s, dinner ran a bit late.
Author’s Note: Thanks to all the bosses for your support, voting, subscribing—thanks to everyone, we made it into the top ten for monthly tickets. However, due to various things, December’s updates were a bit less, only 12W+.
As I mentioned before, January gets busy… basically discussing marriage arrangements with my girlfriend’s family. February is New Year again, plus country New Year and family matters, so February definitely won’t have updates. I’ll try to maintain updates in January, though the word count will probably be a bit less.
As for the plot—same as always, moving toward the main story line, then collecting the girls from the anime.
