Chapter 38: A pleasure indeed!
Arthur POV
Rias and I proceeded in walking towards the mansion the Gremory's called home. I could feel her nerves grow as we approached, mainly due to her hand shaking as it continued clasping onto the arm of my suit.
'She's going to fucking crease it!'
I crudely thought to myself as as my eyebrows pinched together. I ran through the scenarios of how good the initial meeting of her family would go. 'Hopefully better than with sis-con Luci'. Though I was undoubtedly excited to meet the matriarch of her family. Venelana Gremory.
"What's got you thinking so hard Arthur?" I heard Rias ask me, now at my side staring up at me. "Your mum"
…
…
After a couple of second Rias's brows furrowed, most likely expecting me to change my answer. I laughed before mussing her hair as she pouted, no doubt thinking I was joking.
We continued the walk in comfortable silence, or at least it was for me, before arriving at the door. Just as we were about to enter, Rias turned me around to look at her. "Arthur, I've got a few ground rules before we enter" She started. "One, don't be impolite. Number two, please act formally, as you would at an event" I inwardly laughed at them. 'As if'
"And finally, please don't ogle my mother. Please"
'Hah! Seems like Rias has some sort of Spidey sense.' I thought before nodding to her, as my own confirmation to her that I would follow the rules.
*Knock-knock-knock*
Rias knocked on the door three times before it was answered by a woman in a French maid uniform I recognized.
'Oh fuck, yeah. Grayfia is the maid for the Gremory house, not individually Sirzechs!' I thought in surprise at seeing her answer the door. The maid's eyes instantly locked onto mine before going back to Rias's. "Hello again Rias-sama. Hello to you too Liones-Dono." She said to us both, switching eye contact when addressing us.
"Hello Grayfia" Rias replied before me.
"Hello again. You can call me Arthur, I don't really care for formalities." I started "Well, unless were in bed" I said to her with a kind smile, speaking the last part quietly, along with making sure that Rias couldn't hear me.
She stared at me, no emotion visible and I tilted my head in confusion, acting as if something was wrong. "You okay Grayfia? You've been staring at me for a while now. Something on my face?" I questioned her innocently as she shook her head once. Rias looked between us, confused.
"No Arthur-Dono. Nothing is wrong" Grayfia said before turning around and walking into the house. I noticed a small kid with red hair standing near the door, dressing in elegant clothing.
"Rias! Where did you go? Who is this?" The boy questioned. 'Ahhh. This must be Millicas, Grayfia's son.
"Millicas, hello. I went to the front gate where my friend was waiting for me. Millicas, meet Arthur. Arthur, meet Millicas." Rias spoke back to him along with introducing us.
"Hello sir" Millicas said with a large smile and a small bow towards me. 'Very polite' I thought to myself.
"Hey Millicas, a pleasure to meet you" I said back to him, earning a larger smile.

"Damn kid" I said out loud in surprise. 'His stats are well rounded, he must train frequently with the correct schedules. Though his stats aren't as high as Rias's are, they are impressive for his age, and that mana pool! Fucking hell! It must be a blessing to be the son of the Lucifer and strongest queen'
I came out of my own thoughts and noticed the people around me were looking at me, each with varying emotions. "What's wrong Arthur?" Rias asked with confusing lacing her voice. Millicas looked like a scorned child, worried that I had somehow been offended, and Grayfia stared at me with narrowed eyes.
"Ah, sorry Heheh. I was just surprised at how strong you were mate...Sorry, Millicas" I apologized for worrying him and he instantly cheered up.
"How do you know how strong I am mister Arthur?" the child asked with a sparkle in his eye and I laughed.
"I know how strong everyone is Millicas, its one of my skills. Your mana pool is exceedingly large for your age, that's what surprised me. Though I suppose that's what happens with intense training along with being the son of the Lucifer and strongest queen" I replied to him with a smile and mussed his hair, glancing to Grayfia who was looking between me and her son.
"Yep! Yep! I train loads! I want to be as strong as my dad when I grow up!" Millicas said with excitement and I smiled.
"Your dads quite strong kid. You've set a lofty goal for yourself" I said to him and he looked at me with determination set in his eyes. "If you train plenty and for long enough, im sure you'll achieve your goal. And when you reach there, set your eyes above the stars. I'll be waiting for you all the way at the top" I spoke to him with admiration, happy to see his determination and want for strength.
Millicas nodded his head and smiled brightly and I felt Rias's hand on my shoulder, I turned to her and she simply smiled at me before planting a kiss on my cheek, appreciating my gesture of motivation for the young child.
Though the comforting silence was soon broken when another voice spoke. "Now now Rias, you shouldn't be kissing another man when you already have a fiancé."
I turned my head to the side, seeing a middle aged man with red hair and a red goatee 'thing' on his chin. 'This must be Zeoticus'. I looked to his left and behind him was a woman with lovely flaxen hair and violet eyes. She had a mature but sweet look, as if she hadn't aged since she turned 20. But by the lord, if anything stood out over all, it was her form. She had large breasts with nice legs. 'thicc enough to choke a man'.
I looked up from observing her form and she was staring at me with a sweet smile but narrowed eyes. 'Welllssss, I've been caught staring'. I felt an elbow to my rib and turned to said elbower, rias was pouting cutely at me with a serious look. I leaned in closely to her ear, preemptively making her blush, to whisper a sorry.
Grayfia was still stood a bit away from us, now with Millicas by her side, simply observing, though with the appearance of the patriarch and matriarch of the family, she bowed in respect.
I looked back over to the married couple and rose my eyebrow, focusing solely on the woman. "Hmm Rias? I didnt know you had such a beautiful sister?" I said for everyone to hear. I noticed Zeoticus look my way and raise an eyebrow, whereas Venelana chuckled behind her hand before looking to Rias.
"Hello darling Rias, are you going to introduce us to your friend?" Venelana asked looking to Rias before setting her eyes back on me.
"Mother, father. This is my close friend Arthur, he goes to my school" Rias introduced me to her parents.
Rias's mother raised her hand for me to take and I gladly took her hand gently and gave a polite kiss. "A pleasure to meet you ma'am. It gladdens me to meet such a beautiful woman's, let alone Rias's mother" I spoke to her clearly and respectfully, though I couldn't help the light flirting.
"A pleasure to meet you as well Arthur, you may call me Venelana" She said with a light smile towards me. The lovely moment was ruined however when the red headed dude stepped in, Zeoticus, yeah, that's it, that's his name.
"Hello, Rias didnt inform us of having a human in our home?" he said questioningly with a glance towards Rias. 'Good lord, a pretentious prick is in the midst'.
"Yes, well. Here I am. The human! Hm, Rias has mentioned her family a few times before, Sirzechs, her lovely mother and Grayfia, as well as the little lad Millicas over there now. I've even spoken to them all. Though im saddened to say your name or position in the Gremory family hasn't been mentioned. You must be the father? Forgive me for not knowing your name good sir, it would appear you haven't come up in any conversation" I said back to him with a polite smile and innocent tone, though indirectly telling him his place in the hierarchy.
