Respite

Huh... what happened to me? I'm sat here in my chair, yousei collared standing next to me.

What happened?

"Good afternoon, my lord." There was Sebastian.

"What happened?" A confused frown graced his face.

"You suddenly reappereared in this room, an arrow pierced clean through your chest. The woman appeared next to you, she hasn't spoken a word since her appearance. Even considering the fact it has been 2 days. Returning to the arrow, I swiftly removed it before healing you with a phoenix tear. We don't have many left but your life is invaluable to me."

Hmm. Something seems to live in that forest then. Likely an elf, but yousei made it seem like entering the forest was taboo.

"Yousei." The elf turned to me, a blank look on her face. "You will never question my decisions and you will follow my every order. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir." Her tone was as emotionless as her face. A perfectly compliant former noble. This is good. The first step to taking over the kingdom.

Information is key.

But that is not currently my focus. 11 days until serafall leviathan will visit.

That isn't a great amount of time.

"Sebastian. Who were allies with my father?" A soft hum as he placed his hand on his chin, thinking deeply.

"The Gremory were a close ally as a result of your father's relationship with the original Gremory. There was the servus-libidinis family but they have been missing since the great war. I recall lord asmodeus mentioning how they essentially reincarnate after each death, generally weaker than their last incarnation so there is a good chance that they're still alive."

I hummed in thought. Never heard of such a family in the Canon but dxd was never very thorough with the extra devil families.

"We were on amicable terms with the phenex family but I'm not sure how that has deteriorated. There is obviously the other 3 Satan families but all of their descendants went into hiding due to their affiliation to the old Satan faction." Yes, the bunch of morons who want to take over the world.

I've always hated such a goal. It would be incredibly taxing, mentally speaking.

You'd have to take control of the economy.

Win over the people.

Keep the politicians under a tight grip.

All while keeping a good public image to not have the people turn against you.

Its just an annoyance. You wont even rule permanently regardless of your race. The people will grow discontent eventually.

"Any others?"

"Not really. Descendants of lord asmodeus are generally looked upon better than lord asmodeus himself. I suppose your brother would be the reason." That piqued my interest.

"A brother you say?"

"Yes. He was born a few years after you went to sleep. Lord asmodeus was completely disappointed with him. The man hated how much of a womaniser his father was. He tried to act respectfully towards women, seemingly lacking any form of lust towards women. I am unaware of what happened to him after the civil war but I do know that he sided with his son creusery. What woman would even want children with such a disappointment?"

He sounds like the antithesis of my father. If he is still alive, I will likely have to kill him.

Quest generated

Cleanse the bloodline

Eliminate your brother and nephew

Rewards: 500 stat points, book of kyokushin karate

Interesting rewards. But judging by the 500 stat point Rewards, they're likely much stronger than I at the moment.

I can think of one way to fast track this.

Poison. Poison would work perfectly, and I can probably make an incredibly lethal one with herbs from the dungeon. Especially if they're saturated with magic.

"I can promise you now, I will deal with those two. For now, I'd like you to train yousei here into a fine maid. I take it you have a glimpse into my intentions?" Sebastian only smirked.

"Well, you are your father's son. I can make a guess." Such a good butler.

Now that I think about it, I've seen rule 63 of sebastian. There's definitely a potion to swap an individual's gender. Would sebastian be willing? Who am I kidding, sebastian follows anything I say.

Do I go back to the dungeon today or not? Now that I think about it, the family heirloom.

The dual crescent blades wielded by jin so han. There's a small compartment on the sides of the blades that poison can be stored and released from. Why didn't I take them with me?

I stood and gripped one of the blades.

Didn't budge.

Strength requirement, 500.

Are you... no. You're completely serious. And I hate it.

Well, how annoying. For now, I'll just practice my touki.

_________________________________________

Training a sex maid. An Intriguing job for our first and newest maid.

Not unexpected though. He is an asmodeus. I'm just so proud. Zetian is growing finely into his father's shoes.

I was hesitant with the idea of new maids, I don't want to endanger my Lords life. But that woman complied with all of his words, a blank face.

A broken woman.

Lord asmodeus took in many like that.

_________________________________________

I sat here for about 20 minutes, just training. My touki got to level 8.

No noticeable changes.

A bit of a pain that this takes so long, especially with how I don't have much else to do.

Should I reveal myself earlier than planned? No, maybe not. Actually, a curious thought just popped into my mind.

How do I only have a single brother? My father as I understand, fucked many women. Hundreds, thousands even. So how on earth do I only have one brother?

Sebastian must know if I have other siblings, excluding bastards.

Not exactly sure what Sebastian's stance on half devils and the purity of blood is, so I don't know how he would treat them.

Let's see, presence concealment is at lvl 29. No surprise there, touki enhancement took priority.

What to do, what to do. Maybe look around? I haven't particularly explored this study. First, I went through the desk that I sat at. Three were filled with various sex toys, and the fourth contained a book.

'Diary of asmodeus'

I opened the grey book to its first page.

'To whoever is reading this, you are likely one of my descendants living in this castle. And as such, I think it would be appropriate for you to know of the innate abilities I possess.

1. We of the asmodeus family were intended to raise the devil population, and so are more fertile than normal devils. If normal devils have a one in a million chance of pregnancy, we have 1 in a thousand.'

Troublesome. I may actually have to be somewhat careful with my sexual escapades. Having a bunch of children running around would be damn annoying. Though...

I can always just kill the children. That's a simple and easy solution.

2. Claiming property. To those who give up everything to the asmodeus family, they can be given a womb tattoo in the case of women and a stomach tattoo in the case of men. This is a sign of absolute submission and they will obey you, with no hesitation.

So, it's like the collar of obedience but with extra steps and more readily available.

Extra: somewhere in the mansion there is paint used to create the tattoo's in case you wish to customise.

Intriguing. I can imagine that will work well in establishing where they stand to me. I can practice on yousei. Onto the next page.

'Now that you have a basic understanding of our family. You have a sister. I know that doesn't mean anything considering who I am, but that sister of yours is a gremory. Damn, that woman was a good fuck. I'm getting a bit sidetracked, much like my son zetian, she fell under the sleeping disease. I have theories as to why, but nothing that is full proof. Nia is her name and she is kept under the gremory estate in a mini hospital. I hope you find some way to cure her. There's a book in my study on a bookshelf, it contains all my notes on the devil sleeping disease. It's called, 'thoughts for sleep'.'

The rest is blank. Still, a sister is an interesting discovery. I'll need to set up negotiations with the gremory family to get Nia back.

Time to search.

_________________________________________

After around an hour of searching, I found the paints within my room. A paint of all colours. Wonderful. Those went straight into my inventory, several brushes too.

I recall in several fanfictions, the devilnet was spoken about. I should find out whether that was real. It'd make for great information gathering for one as well as keeping up with current events.

Though I don't believe I own a computer.

Regardless, for now, I need only wait for yousei to be sufficiently trained.

_________________________________________

A day. An entire day of sitting here, just training my touki whilst waiting on yousei. And my touki only got to level 20. This is tedious. Incredibly tedious.

Maybe using the abilities in actual combat would level them up faster?

My thoughts were cut short by yousei entering, hands crossed over one another in front of her. The high elf calmly approached my desk

"Where's Sebastian?"

"Sir Sebastian has gone out to acquire more ingredients as well as what is known as a computer. He has been meaning to buy one as almost every devil family has one nowadays."

That, is extremely convenient. I won't complain though.

"Yousei, take a seat on my desk." The high elf noble did as asked, walking around my desk and taking a seat in front of me. I opened her legs, no panties, clean shaven. Nice.

I pulled up her maid outfit, fully allowing me to see her womb.

"Hold it." She grabbed her maid outfit allowing me to pull out some green paint and a brush slightly thicker than my fingers. I dipped the brush in the paint. What tattoo to draw? A bow? Maybe an arrow?

Hm, we'll go with an arrow.

I turned the brush to be vertical to draw the body of the arrow. A slick and smooth line. Then, the feather, carefully, I made slight lines off either side. Now, for the arrowhead. Just a simple v-shape.

The paint seems to dry instantly when coming in contact with the skin. That works.

Now, to revel.

"Pleasure yourself."

I sat there, as she stuck her fingers into her snatch. What a wonderful feeling it is to have someone follow all of your orders. Watching her fingers repeatedly plung in an out was truly amazing.

Such religious fervor. The collar of obedience is a wonderful tool. I wonder, to what extent does the womb tattoo allow in obedience?

For example, say I was to order her to feel heightened pleasure, would it work? The elves breath heightened, as if she had just gone through a strenuous workout.

Her smooth fingers, doused in the fluids of lubrication repeatedly sliding in and out, mimicking the act of fornication.

"Heighten your pleasure." Her entire body froze up, fingers seemingly locking up at her final plunge, the green womb tattoo clearly lighting up. Yousei had climaxed.

I took her hand from the dripping genitalia, bringing it up to my mouth, I placed her hand into my mouth.

The blush on her face made it clear that despite her emotionless state, certain things still aroused her. This is going to make things a lot more fun. I'm by no means a greedy man.

Just lustful.

But then again, lust and greed often go hand in hand.
