Now, like a quiet and well-behaved maiden, she sat with her eyes closed, gently stroking her repaired hand with a faint smile on her lips.
'When looking at her like this, she truly looks identical to both Liana and Vinea. She has aspects from the pair of them. No, maybe they grew up respecting her and ended up mimicking her because of this?'

However, there was still one big problem in his heart and mind. How did Alice, Vinea and Velvet know the forms of his mother's martial arts?
'I have tried to throw hints or traps, but it seems that even if Velvet met my mother, it wasn't long enough to learn the entire art from her. Alice is even less likely, yet she knows my mother's martial arts to a degree beyond Velvet!'
[You are so caught up on this. Is there a reason?]
'No...'
[I can't believe my apostle is such a mommy's boy. Is that why you prefer older women?]
'Like you?'
[...]
Asmodeus didn't plan to become an easy target for the bored Serena.
He began to realise that she wasn't as gentle and all-forgiving. The act she created for the other gods to see was fake. This old woman was vengeful and perverted and loved to make her apostle overwork for no reward!
[You know I can punish you just for these kinds of thoughts, right? Then you would die and know nothing.]
'I will get my revenge and make you squeal goddess! I am a demon lord, you are my prey!'
[Yes, yes~ whatever will I do~ Oh, someone, please, I need a hero to save me from this evil boy who wants to take my virginity and power!]
Her voice was both beautiful and soothing; since his mother vanished, Serena no longer mimicked his mother's voice; instead, it was a gentle yet mature tone that comforted him mostly when she wasn't trying to take out her boredom on him.
'This is why you are a lonely, single woman at your age...'
[Danger! If you push it anymore, the goddess of darkness shall curse you with impotence!]
Asmodeus closed his eyes before lifting his arms above his head and cracking his back with a large stretch because he knew this goddess was playing unfairly, so he would stop trying to fight.
'What would you do if your future husband can't get it up?'
[...]
The amusing fact she didn't deny his words made Asmodeus wonder... 'What exactly does this beautiful goddess want in the future?'
However, this time, there was no snarky response or answer.

Meanwhile, in the divine realm, Eternal Midnight Palace.
Serena's feet were kicking against her bed, while rolling on the cover as she punched a pillow with the image of Asmodeus sewn into the fabric.
"Stupid demon, perverted demon! Idiot.... why say that!"
"What are you planning?! You perverted demon!"
"I am worried about my pretty female friend; what's wrong with that?" Asmodeus asked while smiling innocently at her. "Besides, what if you try to stab me with a hidden weapon."
"Tsk! What if you stab me with yours?!" She retorted while looking away from him.
Asmodeus looked stunned when she made a dirty joke because Velvet hadn't done something like that before, and it shocked him. The shock was enough to allow her to wrap both legs around his waist and reverse the situation, with her body pressing him down against the seat, her face a few inches from his, while panting.
"Hah... I don't want you to look down at me anymore..." She said with her eyes closed. "I can't allow you to think I am weak and that you need to protect me."
"I would never think of you as weak, Velvet. You are a strong woman who is very captivating. Especially in battle."
"Do you really think so?" She opened her eyes and looked at him.
Velvet's purple and black eyes were enchanting, as her juicy, red lips pressed together with her slight smirk made Asmodeus feel a strange feeling in his stomach.
He reached up and cupped her cheeks, the palms of his hands feeling soft as he looked at her. "Yes. I will not lie. You are beautiful, I am planning to make you make woman one day."
"Oh? You want to defeat me and make me another of your women~ Heh, what a greedy man!"
Velvet smirked and pressed her lips against his cheek, but instead of leaving a lip print, she licked his cheek with her long tongue as if tasting a piece of meat. "Then, you better get stronger."
She then leaned down so her breasts pressed against his chest, the huge, squishy melons squashed flat against his muscle. "Don't make me wait too long, Asmodeus."
Asmodeus was lying on the soft as she jumped off his body. The carriage stopped because they reached a small village where they would be staying.
However... He lay on the sofa with a dazed expression, his chest racing from the sudden words he could never expect from THAT Velvet.
'What do I do... I think she made me fall for her for real.'
It wasn't like he aimed for a large harem or anything. Asmodeus planned to keep it small, to women he truly cared for and would love them enough to die for them...
Velvet was the first of them apart from Serena, which made him feel this strange feeling.
'Is it because the Grigor females are too compatible with me? Alan... You won't hold it against me right... Right?'
"Hurry and get out, Asmodeus! Dinner will get cold!" A sharp yell came from the strict Velvet, yet he could feel it. The voice was strict and cold, yet inside her heart was a magma pit of affection and desire that was now facing him.

Meanwhile, in Grigor, inside the Duke's office, a handsome blonde male with a beautiful black-haired maid sitting on his lap suddenly began to shudder as if someone dumped ice down his back and then slapped his face twice.
"Darling, are you alright?" Akari asked as she looked at the beautiful ring on her right hand showing the promise of her engagement to her beloved.
"Ah... My love. Suddenly, I thought I heard that guy's voice and the fearful cries of my sisters and aunt..."
"Fufu~ silly, would he do anything to harm them?"
Akari was grateful to Ryuji for helping her to come to the mansion. Now, she lived a life like a princess, and her clothes became able to protect him from curses, and the necrotic damage from the demons attacking the territory she and Alan now led together.
She looked at Alan with the softest eyes before Alan, who seemed to relax, could only smile bitterly and sigh. "He might not hurt anything but their purity... That's what I am worried about."
"Haha~ surely even he isn't that lustful! Don't worry, my love." Akari's words might have soothed Alan now... but one day, the pair would be shocked by how much they underestimated him.
