"Good evening, Father, Mother." Millicas Gremory greeted his parents as he walked into the dining room of Sirzechs' private residence, after coming out of a transportation-circle, in the aftermath of visiting a friend's house.

He jumped up to his seat, where there was already a plate of food. He began to eat, as Grayfia and Sirzechs both greeted their son.

"How were your friends, Millicas?" Sirzechs asked. "Were you okay? Was there any problems?"

"I was fine, Father. You don't have to worry." Millicas replied after swallowing his mouthful.

"But I do!" Sirzechs replied. "I'm your father, of course I have to worry about you!"

"Have a little faith, Sirzechs." Grayfia gently chided her husband, in the warm voice she usually used in private.

The silverette beauty gently kissed her second-born son on the forehead, and went back to her meal, in quiet, yet comfortable and homely, silence.

Sirzechs finished his dinner first, and stood up, clearing his plate away. He kissed Grayfia, and as he received a magic-circle call on his ear, left the room in order to take it.

The Crimson Satan gently touched the magic-circle at his ear, and spoke aloud.

"Hello?"

"Sirzechs." The current Lucifer heard Ajuka Beelzebub's voice, which seemed to be both rather happy and rather, scratch that, REALLY tired. "I've finished creating the transportation-circle."

"Really?!" Sirzechs replied, raising his voice due to his sudden excitement. "You've finished the circle, and can get to Rex?!"

"I have." Ajuka replied. Sirzechs then heard a stifled yawn from his green-haired best friend's end of the line. "Come over here as fast as you can."

"I will!" Sirzechs replied. "Ajuka, have you been working on that thing all night? You know I didn't ask you-" the magic-circle connection was cut. By Ajuka

Sirzechs sighed at his friend, who was much more of a workaholic than he was when it came to his hobby, which was creation, and after remembering exactly what was said in the brief interaction between him and his best friend, rushed back into the dining room, taking Grayfia and Millicas by surprise.

"Grayfia!" Sirzechs called, urgently.

"What?" Grayfia replied. "What's got you so uncharacteristically worked up?"

"I just got a call from Ajuka." Sirzechs replied. "He's finished the transportation-circle." Grayfia's eyes widened, as she hurriedly got to her feet.

"You mean the one that Big Bro Rex went through?" Millicas asked. He had been filled in about Rex Gremory: from how he was the second Heir of the Gremory Household behind Sirzechs grew up in the aftermath of the Devils Civil War, to his unexplained disappearance just over two centuries ago. "Can I come and see him?"

"No." Sirzechs replied, instantly. "I'm sorry, Millicas, but you can't come with us. Not the first time, at least, as we don't know what's on the other side of the transportation-circle, or how safe it will be for you, our son."

"Aww~" Millicas replied. "I really wanted to meet my Big Bro, though."

"You can meet him next time we go. We promise, Millicas." Grayfia replied, with a slightly hard look at Sirzechs, who gave a nod. "But for now, we're going to have to leave you with your grandparents."

"Okay..." Millicas whined a little, but complied as Grayfia took him through a transportation-circle, and straight into the foyer of the Gremory Manor, which, on its own, could probably fit the entire private home of Sirzechs Lucifer in it, three times over. Maybe even four or five.

As they came in, a woman came walking out of one of the many doors that branched off to other parts of the Gremory Manor: Millicas' grandmother, and Grayfia's mother-in-law, the Lady of the Gremory Clan, Venelana Gremory nee. Bael.

Venelana was an incredibly beautiful woman, in her late-twenties to early-thirties, with back-length soft brown hair, violet eyes, and a buxom figure, which could be comparable to Grayfia's own size. Her hips were wide, and she wore a formal-looking purple dress with high slits.

"Oh, Grayfia, Miliicas!" Venelana greeted the two of them. "This is a pleasant surprise. Why didn't you tell me and Zeoticus you were coming?"

"What's going on?" A male voice asked, and someone came walking out of the same door: Grayfia's father-in-law, and Millicas' grandfather, Zeoticus Gremory.

Zeoticus appeared to be a middle-aged looking man who was handsome. He had long, crimson hair that went down to his back, and was tied in a loose ponytail with a black hairband. He wore standard noble Devils' attire.

"Lord Zeoticus, Lady Venelana, I apologize for the sudden intrusion." Grayfia bowed before the Heads of the Clan she was employed by. "But I need you to watch Millicas. Sirzechs and I have something that we need to do."

"Oh, we'll take good care of him." Venelana replied. "Don't worry, Grayfia. We won't let Millicas out of our sight for a moment, just like Sirzechs always gets so worked up about."

Grayfia sighed.

"Yes, Sirzechs is always overprotective of those he is related to. First Rex, then Rias, now Millicas." She replied. "I simultaneously see where he is coming from, and think that he needs to lay off it a bit."

Zeoticus shrugged.

"Anyway, Grayfia, you can be assured that Millicas will be fine with us." He waved. "Go and do what you and Sirzechs need to do. When can we expect you to come back?"

"I... don't know." Grayfia replied, honestly. "But if I had to guess, we'd probably be a full day."

Zeoticus and Venelana both nodded as Grayfia left via magic-circle.
