Chapter 94: Chapter 94 “Rising Flames of Family and Fate”
Seems my clothing did not survive the Kyuubi attack last night, I had to wear one of my back up casual men's yukatas I had there at her house.
In public, she pulls her ears and tails back (with Transformation) and just looks like a devastating Human woman. She is not holding on to me, because her training has her keep a dignified-poise of a Leader in the public eye.
Just because we are mates, we both still have social identities we must uphold.
For her, it is the Youkai West Leader, and for me, it is the Heir to the Duke House of Gremory. At this time, the Youkai and Devils do not have a treaty, and our public relationship must be proper.
But no one will dare make an issue in my face about a Youkai lover.
So with Yasaka and I as lovers, why do the Youkai and Devils not have a treaty? It is simple, most of the Devils in the government are not the kind Devils of the Gremory and Sitri.
Just because a few Devils are nice, does not mean they are all nice. Many years of resentment for Devils forcefully making Youkai into Devil's Servants are hard to forget.
Just look at poor Kuroka and Shirone's position of being taken advantage of. Hell, even Shirone to not be prosecuted as an enemy, had to submit to me, sigh.
After arriving in my parents VIP room, Yasaka and I see. .
. Kuisha, Grayfia, Rias, Sirzechs, Venelana (mother), and Zeoticus (father).
I greet them.
"Devil King, Father, Mother, and Kuisha, I greet you. "
I have to greet everyone in formal order, and when Rias was about to pout, being excluded as a child, her eyes landed on Yasaka and her expression was thrilled, because Rias has a love of all things Japanese.
My brother waved his hand and told me.
"Ray, it is only family here, so I am only your big Brother for today on your birthday, come here for a hug!"
And to my horror, in front of Yasaka, he just hugged me, making my face twitch. But I endure because I won't be like the anime Rias and reject his care.
He patted my back hard and then greeted Yasaka.
"Hello Yasaka, I Sirzechs Lucifer, give you my honest greetings from the Devils. .
. Now with that out of the way, just call me Brother-in-law in private, ha-ha."
Yasaka with her elegance in tacked bowed slightly and said.
"It is finally nice to meet you in person Sirzechs Lucifer, and thanks for your past actions with Ray. Serafall has been a good partner in our negotiations.
Now with the formality out of the way."
She held onto my arm and pulled me in intimately, with her smile and finished.
"Brother-in-law thanks for bringing Ray to me."
My parents and Kuisha came over, while Rias hid behind Grayfia watching like a stalker.
My Mother said to Yasaka.
"Hello dear, I am Ray's Mother, and please just call me Mother as well. Kuisha has told me everything about you, and you are now part of this Gremory family."
"Then Mother, I am happy to be a part of it. "
Then my Father said something I did not expect.
"Well Yasaka, I am Ray's father, and am proud he managed to attract your heart. So in the future, I approve of you becoming one of Ray's official secondary wives, and just call me Father, ha-ha!" (polygamy is a thing for the Devils, and this is cannon in the LN.
But only the main wife will take the Gremory name, like Venelana took instead of her Bael name. Sona for example would keep her Sitri name if she married Ray.
This has to do with the next heir positions of the Gremory family. )
Yasaka was moved, because our tea ceremony is unofficial, but what he just offered her was real status in the Underworld, even not being a Devil. So she said with joy in her heart.
"Then Father, this Yasaka gladly thanks you. Ray, did you hear that, Ufufu."
Knowing Yasaka so well, and feeling her hand on my arm slightly tremble, I could tell she was happy, and so I said to my parents.
"Father and Mother, I thank you for allowing Yasaka to join the family formally in the future."
Then Kuisha came up to Yasaka and hugged her and said,
"I am also happy, sister Yasaka. Now we can really be family.
Now come with me and Mother, we have a lot to talk about while the boys hang out. I have some wedding suggestions to throw your way last minute, fufu.
Before Kuisha stole Yasaka from me, she kissed me and said quietly.
"Love you dear, but please do remember, no other woman is second but me, okay dear~!"
Her green eyes were happy to see me, and her hidden threat was felt, so I only nodded and said like a good-boy.
"Love you Kuisha, and if you vanished now, I would be with no one else for the rest of my life, promise, he-he. "
"I trust you my Ray, it is those two cats I don't trust. .
. Oh, and I cannot let my guard down with Akeno as well.
Shirone and Tsubaki are not going to move, so just keep your guard up, bye-bye, see you tomorrow for our wedding. .
. Husband~, Ufufu.
Oh, and happy birthday, Ray. "
Finally, I was able to hug my little niece and tease her a bit. I saw her eyes, and introduced her and Yasaka.
And when she heard Yasaka's words her little mouth opened wide.
"Well, if all goes well, you will have a little cousin named Kunou to play with one day, Ufufu. "
And to Rias's further amazement, seeing Yasaka let out her ears and tails, made her hug onto Yasaka. .
. Mofu Mofu! And Yasaka seeing Rias pet her tails, made her look at me and she said.
