Chapter 50: Grayfia's Arrival

After taking a nap, I dressed myself in a familiar suit and waited for Grayfia in my room. Since Ravel and the others had already left their seats, there was no one in the room. Without anything to do in the quiet room, I sat on the bed, passing the time.

Soon, I felt someone approaching the front of the room, and immediately after, there was a knock on the door.

"Excuse me. Is it alright for me to enter, Riser-sama?"

"You may enter."

I heard Grayfia's voice, and I gave my permission right away.

The door opened, and Grayfia appeared. She was wearing her usual maid outfit and had a composed demeanor. It was hard to believe that she had been meeting with her husband to the extent that she neglected her master, me. Although her purpose was supposed to be about my engagement to Rias, it took quite a while.

"I've been waiting. Come here."

I called out to her, and Grayfia's movements faltered. Did it appear that strange for me to be in the room without doing anything? However, her wariness lasted only for a moment. Grayfia soon started walking and stopped in front of me.

"You took quite a while."

"I apologize."

Grayfia simply bowed deeply. It seemed she had no intention of making excuses.

"You didn't say anything unnecessary, did you?"

"No, I did not."

Grayfia said in a calm voice. I couldn't tell if she was lying or telling the truth. I hadn't bothered to check the footage to confirm what they had talked about. I judged that there was no need for such strict surveillance on Grayfia.

That's right. It's no longer necessary.

"Well, it doesn't matter."

After gazing into Grayfia's eyes for a moment, I stepped back. Even if I were to press her further, Grayfia wouldn't say anything more. Instead of being fixated on this matter, there were other things I should be advancing. That's what I thought.

"Grayfia, I want to ask you for a night rendezvous again today."

"Understood."

Grayfia nodded and leaned closer to me. I had the impulse to embrace her on the bed as usual, but for now, I had to restrain myself. It would be a waste not to use the stage I had set up so carefully. I stood up from the bed and moved towards the teleportation magic circle in the corner of the room.

When I turned back, Grayfia was looking at me with a curious expression. It seemed like she was questioning if it wasn't a night rendezvous. To dispel her doubts, I pointed at the magic circle and spoke.

"I've prepared a place suitable for us to love each other."

Upon hearing my words, Grayfia tensed her shoulders as if on guard.

"Follow me."

However, no matter how she prepared herself, it was meaningless. I am her master. There is no choice but to do as I say.

"Yes."

Her clear reply contained hidden determination.

I and Grayfia, through the magic circle, teleported to the intended location.

The destination was the pseudo-space I had created while engaging with Asia before taking a nap. It had the same structure as the combat field used in rating games. It was not an actual existing space. However, the original place it was based on did exist.

"What is this place...?"

As Grayfia surveyed the scenery of their destination, a surprised murmur escaped her lips.

And no wonder. This space was a familiar place for Grayfia.

"Welcome to the Gremory Estate. Well, it's a fake, though."

This was the mansion of the Gremory family, whom Grayfia used to serve. Within it was a bedroom prepared specifically for Sirzechs and Grayfia. There were no unnecessary furnishings, and a large bed was placed in the center of the room.

Here, Grayfia had shared intimate moments with Sirzechs as husband and wife countless times. They intertwined their sweating bodies, whispered words of love to each other, and conceived the essence of a child within her womb. They had connected in this place repeatedly until they conceived a child.

I intended to embrace Grayfia in this place from now on.
