Chapter 521 – Calm Before The Storm…

[POV Reo]

"Shouldn't you be helping Hela?" I asked as I stared at the woman standing in front of me. I had to use quite a bit of my Mind Powers to stop my eyebrows from twitching. 

"No, Lady Hela is doing something secretive and she doesn't want anyone to find out about it. She said that she wants to surprise everyone, including me… That is why she sent me here Reo-Sama" Grayfia answered my question in a respectful tone. Except for the flushed look on her face, her face was completely stoic. 

Grayfia is really good at lying… Hela is simply lazing in front of the Heaven's System while thinking about how to cause more discord and destruction. I have also heard the stuff the girls have been discussing in the bath. I already knew that Grayfia was interested in me, but I had no idea how to make a move on Grayfia.

Grayfia also seems to have a masochist kink… Surprising, right? Though, I wouldn't mind having a beautiful maid like Grayfia who is also one of my women. I would have preferred if she stopped being a maid, but that wasn't going to happen. 

Lucifuge Clan is… was the servant Clan of the original Lucifer Clan. So, the members of the Lucifuge Clan were trained to serve the Lucifer Clan since they were small. Grayfia has been also trained in a similar manner, so being a maid is a part of her life. 

She would never give up being a maid, no matter what and it would be very cruel of me if I make her give up being a maid. Since Grayfia was small, she always dreamed of being the best maid. Being Hela's maid has made her dream come true… At least, Grayfia believed that.

"Fine…" I accepted Grayfia's request, but there is no way that I would make the 'Seducing Reo-Sama and get boned' part easy for her and she is a masochist. She might have just realized the fact, but that a masochist is a masochist. After dealing with Nemuri and Dora, I learned quite a bit about them.

So, I am sure that Grayfia would love the dismissive play. "You can accompany me even though I don't have much to do except for some wedding shopping" I said and Grayfia smiled brightly.

"Of course, Reo-Sama. I would love to accompany you" Grayfia declared and I would have cackled in mad glee, but doing that would have given away my real intentions.

We spent the rest of the day visiting various shops, I could have used my powers to get everything with a simple thought, but for whatever reason, the girls wanted me to buy everything by physically visiting shops. I don't have any idea why the girls would ask something like that, but I knew not to argue with them.

By the end of the day, Grayfia was both annoyed and frustrated. She was frustrated because I was acting completely oblivious to all of her advances and she was annoyed because she was liking the feeling of growing frustration. Don't worry, Grayfia, you will thank me later.

I kept our interactions completely professional and that frustrated her to no end. I loved the look on her face when I refused her offer of body message, saying that I wasn't tired. Technically, I didn't lie since I truly wasn't tired, so it was fine, and only after a few days, I would get much more than just a body massage from her.

"So, Grayfia what are your plans for the future?" I asked her once we finally returned to my mansion.

"I plan to keep serving Lady Hela. Of course, if she wants to keep me" Grayfia said with a small smile on her face. 

"I see… Don't you have any plans of having a family? I mean a husband and children?" I asked and for a moment Grayfia froze. Only after a moment, she resumed to follow me. 

"I don't know… My priority is to keep serving Lady Hela…" Grayfia trailed off with a hint of longing in her eyes. It was quite clear that she was very good at hiding it, but you could notice her desire for Family if you know what you are looking for.

"I see… So, are you excited about the upcoming Rating Games?" I asked Grayfia when we finally arrived in the living room. I called a few House-Elves as I pulled out everything I had bought today from my Storage Space. The Elves gladly accepted the duty with bright smiles on their faces and popped away.

"I am pretty excited about it, but I don't know everything Lady Hela has planned for the Tournament. She did mention that she was going to show us the prizes before a day of opening" Grayfia explained and I nodded my head in understanding. Though I already know what Hela is planning to give away as prizes.

"Oh… So, who do you think has the highest chance of winning the tournament?" I asked while I gestured Grayfia to sit on the other side. She reluctantly accepted the gesture and plopped down on the other side of the couch. I summoned a house-elf and asked him to bring some snacks for us.

Garyfia seemed to contemplate my question for a few seconds before she started to answer. "…I can't say for sure. Sona-Sama is being being trained by Unohana-Sama. Sona-Sama has become extremely strong, but there are some good opponents too. Like Vali Lucifer or Sairaorg Bael" Grayfia answered…

[Vatican]

"I have a message from Lady Hela…" Michael declared as he teleported inside the meeting room. The meeting room was filled with various Church Officials and Holy Knights… Michael has sent a message through one of his Brave Saints to the Pope, asking the man to arrange an emergency meeting. 

The Pope has been quite displeased with the Angels, especially Michael since the man has selfishly abandoned them. So, by extension, the Pope was quite displeased with Michael's Brave Saints too, but when the Pope heard that the meeting was of utmost importance, he reluctantly agreed to call a meeting. 

So, here they were, waiting for Michael's arrival, but as soon as they heard Michael's words, several protests of outrage rang throughout the room. Michael was expecting a reaction like this, so he simply raised a hand in placating manner, but still screams of outrage rang throughout the room.

Michael finally understood how far his grace or the grace of Heaven has fallen. He knew that Humans were selfish creatures, this wasn't the first time he had seen them acting in such a manner. It has happened in the past too… The people of the Church were responsible for the Inquisition, but the Angels were blamed when everything was put to a stop.

In a corner of his mind, Michael felt really glad that the survival of Angels no longer depended on humans. The Pope finally raised his hand in a placating manner and everyone became silent. He subtly gave Michael a smug grin, but Michael simply ignored the man since he had much more important things to do. Like delivering a message…

"So, your esteemed Lady Hela had decided to finally address us? So, what does she want? Complete surrendered?" One of the Holy Knights asked in a mocking tone. Several Knights around him simply sneered at Michael in agreement.

"Tell her we aren't Angels, we won't surrender!" Someone screamed from the back. Michael wasn't able to see the woman's voice… It was obviously a woman since the voice was feminine, but Micahel could be wrong too. Humans seem to have weird sorts of kinks.

Michael simply shrugged, he would have felt insulted, but he has been maintaining the Heaven's System for quite some time, so he was used to getting cursed and insulted by the humans. "I assume that all you have heard about the Rating Games Tournament. Lady Hela wants Holy Knights or the Chruch Faction to participate in the tournament" Michale revealed and everyone gaped at him for a moment.

"And why would we do that?" The Pope asked curiously. He really wanted to know why the madwoman thought that he would follow her demands or orders.

"For your continued survival. This is what Lady Hela had said…

'If teams belonging to Church Faction don't show up then first, I will kill every single human residing in that puny city without exception, then I will track down every single human who visit Church and then I will kill them along with their whole families in front of the Church. I will continue doing that until nobody dares to speak the word Church' 

That is what Lady Hela said. I hope you make the right choice…" Michael delivered the message and teleported away. Silence ensued for minutes even after Michael's departure. Nobody was laughing now… they simply kept staring at each other for minutes, and finally, all hell broke loose when one of the Knights started to curse in a very colorful language…

[7th Heaven]

Only one day was left before the big opening of the Rating Games Tournament and every group of training tirelessly for the tournament. Hela was extremely happy with the development. She is the Goddess of Death and War. She arranged this Tournament so that she could watch different races clash against each other in an arena.

So, Hela was finally leading a group of three towards to show them the prizes she had arranged for the Tournament. When the Tournament was finally over, there will be only a few Factions with the power to oppose her, but she wouldn't be revealing that to anyone. At least not now. She suspected that Reo already knew about her intentions, but she was sure that he was fine with it.

So, Grafiya Lucifuge, Serafall Leviathan, and Diehauser Belial were led to the place where Hela was keeping the prizes. Hela pushed the door open, revealing everything to the three Devils. Grayfia, Serafall, and Diehauser didn't know drastically paled as soon as they read the plaques placed over the prizes…
