"Hmm~!" It was past noon when Ravel finally left her bed, the humid, stuffy, and strange smell still lingering in the air of her room.
The moment her feet touched the floor, her weak legs gave out, and she nearly fell, only steadying herself by leaning heavily against the side of the bed.
Her usually perfect golden drill hair was undone, spilling messily down her back, with a portion of it swept across part of her face like a veil. Beads of sweat dripped from her neck, tracing a path between her breasts and over her flat stomach, both clearly visible beneath the thin white shirt she wore. Her legs were completely bare, and from her secret place, love juice still dripped, trailing slowly down her inner thighs.
"Perhaps I overdid it again... but I couldn't help it... Dreaming of Yusuke-sama.... It is only natural that I would get a little excited~!" She stared at the damp bedsheets and pillows, now soaked from the mixture of her sweat and squirt. She had dreamed of Yusuke last night, and when she woke up early that morning, the excitement lingered. It naturally led to her generating electricity, which continued for hours and only stopped now.
"Yusuke-sama!" At the thought of Yusuke, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes darted forward, fixing on the extremely large picture occupying nearly half the wall. It was a picture of Yusuke smiling confidently, taken during his match against Riser.
"This is bad, I am getting excited all over again! If I continue to stay in my room, I'll end up doing it once more!" Shaking her head to chase away the tempting idea, Ravel hurried toward the bathroom, practically dashing inside to take a shower before her body betrayed her again.
A full hour later, she exited her room, her long blonde hair styled back into twin tails with large, drill-like curls. She was dressed in long white stockings, a dark blue skirt, and a white shirt, looking neat and composed once more.
"I lost my anal virginity... I want to die!"
Walking through the hallways, Ravel suddenly heard a sharp, shrill cry. Her face twisted in disgust as she snapped, "What the fuck is onii-sama doing again?!" After giving up his peerage members, did he start collecting males now? Was he planning to create some weird gay harem?!
"Poor guy, to think he already fell into the hands of that twisted onii-sama." Ravel felt a bit of pity for the boy with the Boosted Gear who chose to follow her brother.
Putting aside the matter that had nothing to do with her right now, she headed toward her mother's room. Without knocking, she opened the door, and there she saw her mother seated behind a large, luxurious desk, her back facing her. From this angle, Ravel could tell her mother was holding something.
"Mother?" Ravel closed the door and walked toward the desk.
Her mother was clutching a black object that looked like a pair of trousers, pressing it tightly against her face. Her usually dignified and noble expression was twisted into one of pure ecstasy and bliss.
Ravel's eyes widened, her lips parted, and for some reason her heart began to race. Flushed, she glanced at her mother, unable to look away from the scene.
No, don't misunderstand. It wasn't that Ravel harbored some weird feelings for her own mother. The reason for her excitement was the trousers her mother was holding. She didn't need her mother to tell her. They had to be Yusuke's. After all, was there anything besides Yusuke's things that could make her react like this?
"Mother! This... is this?!" Unable to contain her excitement, she leaned closer, her nose twitching, her eyes shining with intense light. "This scent... this is really Yusuke-sama's scent! It's really his!"
"Ravel, that's rude," Eleonora said, reluctantly setting the trousers down. Her tone carried a slight reprimand, but she did not scold her only daughter. "Yes, it's his."
"I originally wanted his freshly worn boxers, but strangely enough, the spies couldn't find them," she explained, caressing the piece of clothing as if it were Yusuke himself. "It seems someone else stole them. In the end, I could only get his trousers and shirt."
Having spies planted in other noble houses was a basic practice among human nobles, and even more so among the Devils. Thanks to them, she knew the majority of what was happening in the Gremory House and was able to acquire Yusuke's belongings fairly easily.
"Is that so? What a pity," Ravel sighed in disappointment upon hearing they couldn't get Yusuke's boxers. Her mood, however, quickly brightened. "This is still better than nothing. Can I borrow it for a while, mother?"
"No," Eleonora said immediately, refusing. But before her daughter could show her sad expression, she patted her head. "Don't worry. I've got you covered."
"Did you hear what I just said? I got Yusuke's trousers and shirt." Standing up, she walked to the wall and pressed a hidden switch. The wall slid aside, revealing a safe. Opening it, Eleonora took out a wooden red box covered in intricate magical inscriptions. After removing the seals, she opened the box to reveal a black sleeveless shirt. "Here, this is yours."
"Really?! Thank you, mother! You are the best!" Ravel couldn't suppress her excitement and happiness. She dove into her mother's arms, hugging her tightly. "I love you, Mom! Just behind Yusuke!"
Letting go of her mother, she picked up the shirt carefully and slowly brought it to her face. She took a long, deep breath, her expression twisting into pure intoxication and bliss. "This... this is the best! It's peak!"
"What a naughty girl. Don't waste all your time on solo play. I still need your help," Eleonora said, shaking her head.
"Yes, mother!" The hand that had been slowly creeping between her legs froze. Reluctantly, Ravel folded the shirt and put it back into the box. Holding it in her arms, she asked, "By the way, mother, why did you let Yubelluna escape?"
"I originally wanted her to work with us, but unfortunately, she is too rebellious and stupid," Eleonora said, sitting down gracefully and tucking her hair behind her ears. At this moment, no one would connect this composed woman with the one who had been on the verge of a solo dance just moments ago.
Being remotely exposed to Yusuke, Eleonora had grown obsessed with him. However, unlike others who were completely fixated on having him all to themselves, she had grown up with her father keeping a harem, her brothers each maintaining large harems, and she herself had been in the same situation, as her husband also had a large harem of his own.
So, more or less, she was open to the idea and didn't care if Yusuke had other women. Her main goal, however, was to become Yusuke's primary woman and make her daughter second right after her. She wanted to monopolize as much of his love and time as possible.
To do that, she tried to pull Isabella and Yubelluna into her circle. She wanted to first tame them into obedient little pets before putting them to work, but it turned out to be harder than she had expected. Both women were far too rebellious. Whenever anything even remotely involved Yusuke, they acted even more violently and unpredictably, completely ignoring her authority.
In the end, she was forced to use magic suppression collars to keep them in check after they attempted to escape multiple times.
"As you know, Yusuke is currently in the Gremory House." Long before Yusuke decided to go there, Eleonora and Ravel had already learned about it from their spies, who overheard Venelana and Zeoticus mentioning it.
"Yes, mother," Ravel nodded, then, suddenly, a look of realization crossing her face, she asked, "Could it be that you purposely let her go so she could find Yusuke?"
"Exactly," Eleonora said, nodding. Her daughter had always been very smart, excellent at schemes, and anticipating her opponent's moves. She wasn't surprised that Ravel had guessed her motive.
"But why?" Ravel asked.
"To gauge Yusuke's reaction first, then the Gremory House's second, and thirdly, to spy on Yusuke," Eleonora explained patiently. "Before letting Yubelluna escape, I planted a little something on her to let me see everything she does."
"How brilliant! As expected of you, mother!" Ravel marveled at her mother's scheming. She had managed to turn the disobedient dog into her pawn with such a simple tactic.
"Yeah, and I've already got some good information," Eleonora said. A magic circle appeared before her as she spoke. "Come take a look."
"Luna!"
"Yusuke!"
"I love you, Luna!"
"I love you too, Yusuke!"
A small hologram appeared before them, showing the scene of Yusuke holding Yubelluna and kissing her.
"This!" Ravel's face flushed an unhealthy red, her eyes widening and glowing with an intense light, burning with jealousy and a strange sense of excitement at the same time.
"Yeah, it seems that Yubelluna succeeded in getting Yusuke's love... As expected of the man I love. He is big-hearted and doesn't discriminate between trash and highborn," Eleonora's breathing quickened as she watched him eating Yubelluna's pussy. Biting her lip, she thought, 'It should have been me, not her!'
"Mom, can I..." Ravel began suddenly.
"No," Eleonora immediately cut her off. "If you want a copy of this recording, you'd better first convince Isabella to work with us."
"Convincing her?" Ravel's expression turned troubled.
"We can't waste any more time. I've already dealt with your father. He will fully support our actions and won't hinder us. He even promised to convince your brother to help if needed," Eleonora said seriously. "The only missing piece is Isabella, who is refusing to face reality and make the better choice."
During this time, she didn't rush to the human world to meet Yusuke because her position set her apart from the other women. She was Lady Phenex. She wasn't a reckless girl like Rias, who paid no mind to anything else.
If she threw herself at Yusuke, she would only bring trouble to both herself and him. The political implications would be messy. The wife of the Phenex House head seducing the man who had defeated and humiliated her son, and attempting to seduce the prospective son-in-law of the Gremory House, would cause a scandal.
Setting aside whatever her monkey of a husband might do, the Gremory House would see it as retaliation for the broken engagement.
So during this time, Eleonora used every method to mentally crush her husband first. She did something so horrific it's better left unmentioned; she convinced(threatened) him to give in and assist her.
"If it wasn't because Yusuke displayed some interest in her, I wouldn't care about her at all!" Gritting her teeth, Eleonora snorted coldly.
"Alright, mother, since you put in so much effort, how can I fail?" Ravel glanced at the wooden box in her arms, and an idea suddenly flashed in her mind. "I won't disappoint you, mother. I think I have a way to convince her today."
"Really?" Eleonora looked surprised, but soon smiled, patting her daughter's head. "Then I'll be counting on you, Ravel."
