Haru lay on the sofa, naked, his arms wrapped around Michael and Ravel.

Both girls, their faces flushed, their breaths coming in soft gasps, looked exhausted but satisfied, their golden hair spread across Haru’s body.

Michael, having… gone first, had already drifted off to sleep.

Ravel, thanks to her Phoenix bloodline’s enhanced regenerative abilities, had managed to last until the early hours of the morning.

“Things escalated rather quickly, didn’t they, Haru-sama?” Ravel murmured, her voice laced with a seductive purr.

Haru chuckled awkwardly. He hadn’t planned on that.

He’d been startled by Ravel’s arrival and, seeing Michael’s dazed state after their activities, had quickly pulled Ravel into the fray.

A hasty, but enjoyable decision.

He knew what a shy Archangel like Michael would do if she’d been caught off guard. The spear of holy light had already been forming in her hand.

In her initial state of panic, her first instinct had been to eliminate the witness.

Had he not intervened, he’d probably be cleaning up a crime scene right now.

Ravel’s arrival, though earlier than expected, had been part of his plan.

The previous day, after taking control of the Phoenix clan’s leader with his Death Servant Authority, he’d requested a secretary, specifically named Ravel, to assist with the Three Factions integration.

He’d assumed it would take at least three days for the adorable, petite, blonde-haired girl to arrive. But she’d shown up the very next evening.

“Well I was prepared to some extent, though I didn’t expect my first time to be with Michael-sama,” Ravel said, her blue eyes fixed on Haru’s face as she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Having been raised in a pure-blooded Devil family, Ravel’s criteria for a partner were simple: strength first, looks second, and noble bloodline last.

And Haru, introduced to her as the ancient Devil King Baal, with his deceptively appearance, perfectly matched her ideals.

And he’d proposed, well, sort of…

So, the lovestruck maiden had eagerly accepted the position of his secretary.

But a night of passion with a Devil and an Angel, with the Seraphim Michael, no less, had been a bit much for the fifteen-year-old Devil.

Initially, she’d been terrified. But under Haru’s expert guidance, she’d quickly succumbed.

Haru grinned, giving Ravel’s forehead a playful nip, earning him a soft moan from the girl.

….

….

As Haru and Ravel materialized in the Gremory mansion’s living room via the teleportation circle, his eyes narrowed.

“Well, well.. Look who’s back,” a playful voice echoed through the room.

“Too bad. Vali kept me occupied.”

The words, spoken in a casual, almost flippant tone, belonged to a mature-looking man with striking silver hair, around forty years old.

Before him stood Vali, his armor battered, half of his helmet sheared off.

They had clearly fought. And judging by Vali’s condition, he’d activated Juggernaut Drive and still lost.

“Rizevim…” Vali’s voice was low, filled with hatred, his eyes fixed on the man.

“Mwahahaha! Seeing my dear grandson look at me with such… passion… fills me with joy! I could almost… climax!” The man, Rizevim, replied, his voice dripping with… unpleasant innuendo.

Rias and the others, watching from a distance, shuddered, their faces contorting in disgust.

….

Earlier that morning, Rizevim had appeared in the living room, attempting to take Ophis.

Vali, still recovering from his injuries, had flown into a rage at the sight of him, activating his Juggernaut Drive and engaging Rizevim in a fierce battle.

But Juggernaut Drive‘s duration was limited. Once its power faded, Vali had been forced to rely on his Scale Mail, and the battle had quickly turned against him.

He’d been on the verge of defeat when Haru returned.

“Why does Vali hate that… Rizevim… so much?” Kuroka asked Bikou, her brow furrowed as she listened to Vali’s enraged cries. As a recent addition to the group, she was unfamiliar with their history.

Bikou scratched his head, a troubled expression on his face. “That bastard Rizevim, he ordered his own son, Vali’s father, to abuse Vali from the moment he was born. Vali’s childhood was… ‘hell

‘. He finally escaped and was taken in by Azazel. That’s why he loses control whenever he sees Rizevim.”

The others’ faces darkened, their gazes fixed on Rizevim with undisguised loathing.

“Don’t exaggerate, I only offered my dear son some… helpful advice. ‘If you’re afraid of him, bully him first.’ With the blood of a Lucifer and the White Dragon Emperor within him, that spineless boy couldn’t handle it, I was only trying to help him,” Rizevim said, pouting slightly as if he’d been unjustly accused.

“And besides, I avenged him, didn’t I? A few days ago, I felt the urge to see some blood. So I killed my son. I’m so troubled now. My poor Vali is an orphan.” He put on a melodramatic expression, his voice filled with mock sorrow.

Everyone stared at Rizevim in horror. He’d killed his own son… just because he felt like it?

Haru’s eye twitched as he watched Rizevim’s performance, fighting back the urge to vomit. He glared at the man, his eyes filled with barely contained-fury.

Rizevim, after a moment of preening, turned to Haru, a playful smirk on his face.

“I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Rizevim Livan Lucifer. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Red Dragon Emperor.”

“I know who you are, Rizevim. Are you here for Ophis?” Haru asked, his gaze flicking towards Ophis, who was clinging to Pandora in the distance.

“What else could it be, Red Dragon Emperor?” Rizevim shrugged, spreading his hands.

“My unruly subordinates, they need someone like Ophis-sama to keep them in line. They were about to start a civil war after she disappeared for just a day. So, I had to retrieve our leader.”

Despite being the son of the original Lucifer, a Devil Prince in all but name, Rizevim acted like a clown, his every word and gesture dripping with insincerity.

He tilted his head, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Be careful now. I’m about to attack.”

And then, he vanished.
