Being watched by so many people and cheered on made Rias blush, seemingly embarrassed by the welcoming spectacle.
"Amazing… are all of these people from Rias-sama's family?" Asia asked, walking towards the back of the carriage. The little girl looked curious, clearly excited by the scenery along the way. Irina had the same expression.
"It's all my idiot brother and father's doing. What's with this? It's like they're idiots." Rias said, sitting in the carriage. Her cheeks were as red as apples.
"Alright, you all be careful. This is the Gremory territory. You're Rias's familiars. Don't embarrass her."
Arthas shook his head, amused by Irina's exuberance.
"Okay, okay."
Irina stuck out her tongue and calmed down a bit, then got in the carriage.
"I'll be with you until now. I'll go to the Devil King territory later. It's been a while since I saw Sirzechs. I'll come back to the Gremory territory after that." Azazel said, stretching.
"Azazel, say hello to my brother for me." Rias asked.
Azazel waved and left.
The others boarded the luxurious carriage. Maids began to move the luggage from the train.
"Um… is this whole city Rias-sama's? Where are we going next?" Asia asked, looking at the scenery.
"It's not just this city. The Gremory territory is huge. You'll each get a piece." Rias said casually. Asia's mouth dropped open.
"Eh? Can you just give away territory like that?"
"You're my familiars. It's normal to give you territory." Rias said, smiling.
The carriage moved forward. Outside, the road was paved and the trees were trimmed. A huge building came into view.
"So the stories about Devil Kings living in castles are true. It's so big and romantic." Irina said, eyes sparkling.
"That's the main residence. One of my homes." Rias said easily.
Outside the carriage, flowers bloomed, water sprayed from fountains, and birds flew in the sky. The carriage entered Rias's home, which looked like a garden.
The carriage stopped. They had arrived.
A butler opened the door.
Rias got out first, followed by the others.
Maids and butlers lined the road. A red carpet led to the castle. The huge gate opened with a sound.
Led by Grayfia, everyone entered the castle. The entrance was huge, with crystal chandeliers and decorations. Anything here would be worth a fortune at auction in the human world.
The upper-class pure-blooded devil family, the top nobles of the Underworld, deserved this luxury. But Asia, the confused nun, and Xenovia and Irina, who were used to the Church's simplicity, were shocked.
Arthas was unfazed. He had been shocked at Nehelenia's home.
Irina became subdued, even shrinking back.
"Miss, I'll take the familiars to their rooms." Grayfia called a few maids and ordered them and the butlers to take the luggage inside.
"Okay. I'll take Arthas to say hello. Are Father and Mother home?"
"Yes, Lord and Lady are home. I'll take the familiars to their rooms." Grayfia led the familiars to their rooms. The castle was huge. There were enough rooms for five times as many people.
Arthas touched his nose, amused.
"Am I meeting the parents?"
Rias blushed, not denying it.
"Alright, let's go. You're the star of the young generation's party."
"The star… sounds like trouble."
Arthas said. Rias pulled him forward. They arrived at a huge, luxurious room.
"So you're here, the little guy who thwarted the old Devil King faction and the Khaos Brigade. Sirzechs has been praising you to the skies."
A cheerful voice echoed.
Standing in front of Arthas were a man and a woman. The man had the same crimson hair as Sirzechs and Rias. The woman looked like Rias, but with flaxen hair.
"It was just what I had to do." Arthas said, feeling awkward.
"Haha, don't be nervous. This is my wife, Venelana Gremory." Gremory said, introducing her.
"You're the amazing soldier? Sirzechs told me about you." Venelana smiled warmly, looking at Arthas like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
Arthas was awkward. Rias couldn't look at her parents. They were too enthusiastic, as if they wanted to force her to marry him.
