30 A Challange and Heart to Heart.

When Romonus returned to his room he still had plenty of time to use up so he walked over to his weight rack to get a few sets in. He discarded his upper clothes before he got his weight ready. 

'A ton and a half seems good' 

Once he got the weights ready, he laid down and activated his gravity magic on himself.

'20 times normal gravity seems good.' 

Instantly the gravity around him became 20 times greater meaning he was now lifting 30 tons. Not to mention that he now weighed 3,600 pounds making this even harder. 

He grit his teeth as his Touki shimmers around him. It was still a light white, but mixed in was a purple glow as his entire being was being transformed by his unique soul. Either way, this was the best way to train his control was to train with it as much as he could. Until he could perfectly circulate his Life Force at all times he would not cease. 

'Until I can lift that planet, this won't end.' 

For the hours of the night, Romonus spent part of training his body and a small part in his magical studies. Thanks to all his abilities sleep was slowly being turned into a want, not a need. 

He and Falbium were very different as he saw sleep as a waste of time while Falbium saw it as the greatest activity. He saw it as more time to be used to train and grow stronger.

When the morning came, Venelana smiled to herself as she got out of bed. For years now she had been sleeping in her own room and today was the day she would cease to be Venelana Gremory. 

Centuries ago, she could have fought her engagement, but she was doing it now. She walked over to her mirror and looked herself over. She asked herself what the hell was wrong with Zeoticus. She had been faithful to him for centuries, managed his harem, gathered the finest women for it and all she got was being ignored. 

Now she was not the most prideful of people, but even then she knew she was hotter than any woman in his harem. If her son's reaction to her body was to go by she was certainly not ugly. 

'Was there just something wrong with him? Maybe he got off on feeling like he was cucking me? Is that it?' 

Realizing that thinking about her failed marriage would not change anything she instead thought of how to dress for this day. While this was going to be a duel, Zeoticus was not her match at all. 

He had never been a powerful fighter as he was still only a High-Class Devil after all his centuries alive. Romonus had been stronger than him at age 6 and Sirzechs had been stronger than him at birth. 

"Honestly, the only thing he passed on to those boys was his Clan trait and his hair in Sirzechs' case. In Romonus he looks more like my Father than he does Zeoticus."

Thinking of her younger son, she remembered the Victorian suit he sometimes wore. 

"He called it the Hunter's suit right?"

She smiled as she removed her nightgown and tossed it onto the bed. From her body, dense Demonic Power began to surge all over her body like liquid. From her feet, a suit similar to Romonus's began to form. 

Rather quickly she had formed a female version of her son's favorite outfit. She spun around checking herself out before touching her breasts a bit. She still could not think of why Zeoticus ignored her so much. Romonus certainly loved her breasts.

'Wonder what he will think?' 

Now that she had time to think it over and what she did with her son last night she still did not care. As long as he did not find an issue with it she didn't either.

"Right then, let's get this over with."

By this time Romonus was already up and about as he had not slept at all. Divorces in Devil culture were beyond rare as it was usually a source of shame to be divorced. Instead of drawing out the process, the spouse who wanted a divorce would challenge their spouse to a duel. 

Being the challenger meant they were unhappy and would cause the challenged party shame in the case they lost. Even if they win the shame of their spouse hating them enough to challenge them for a divorce would last centuries. 

 Zeoticus and Venelana outwardly shared a loving marriage to the outside, but that was beyond true. Maybe that was the case long ago, but that certainly was not the case today. Romonus sighed as he got out of his walk-in shower and bath. He evaporated the water on his skin with Demonic Energy and quickly got dressed in his Hunter outfit. 

He drew Blood Drinker to his side and as usual strapped it to his side. When he walked out of his room he ran into his Mother who took this route on purpose. She smiled in his direction as she saw his eyes run through her body. 

"So, what do you think?" 

She spun around a bit before leaning forward to look him in the eyes. Her posture caused her breasts to push on her suit. 

"It looks good on you, Mother. Of course, nothing bears the original." 

She smiled at his joke and praise. 

"Oh of course my Lord, how could this lowly one think of surpassing you? Joking aside, I did wear it because I thought you might like it. I can see you do." 

Romonus sighed as he asked the question he wanted to ask. 

"So, you off the challenge him to a Duel?" 

She nodded. 

"I am. I already know I will win even if I am a bit rusty, and so is he. He hasn't fought in centuries and neither have I, but my edge is still there. While I do this, console Rias for me. She won't understand." 

Before anything else happened he needed to know. 

"Was this my fault?"

She could see he was conflicted so she walked toward him and placed her hand on his chest to feel his heart. She could feel it slightly elevated as he did not want to be why his family broke apart. 

"No. This was not your fault, and never blame yourself for this. This was going to happen this century, or maybe the next. You just gave me the courage I needed. I do wonder how long we will keep this secret." 

"What will my Father say when he realizes what we will become? What will Sirzechs think?" 

She snorted. 

"Let me handle Sirzechs, you handle Zeoticus. Just know he is still your Father so go easy on him." 

"I will." 

Romonus released his senses to make sure no servants were around. He lifted his Mother's chin with his fingers. He leaned in and gave her a small kiss. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss. 

"Good luck then." 

She smiled and returned the kiss, but went deeper with her tongue to wrap it around his. She enjoyed the immoral nature of this relationship which seemed to turn her on because of her Devil side. Devils loved to sin and this was a terrible sin. 

She pulled back and winked at him. 

"I love you." 

"I love you too Mother." 

She let go of him and walked off with a bit of a hop in his step. As she did that he took in the gaze of her ass in the leather pants.

'She is perfect. Hotter, kinder, more caring than her.' 

He shook his head thinking back to Carla. They were nothing alike, but he had no hatred for her. She just gave him some fetishes that were accepted by him being a Devil. 

'Thank you Boss once again.' 

He focused back on the situation and saw that Akeno and Itsuki were still snoozing. He would need to wake them up soon, but first, he had something to do. He did not delay and teleported directly into Rias' room.

The burst of light from the teleportation woke her up instantly. She shot up in bed about and launched a giant almost lightning bolt of POD at him. He reached out and caught the attack with his gloved hand with ease. 

Rias was stuck staring as he dissipated her attack instantly. When Romonus turned to look at Rias he was almost shocked. She was naked and uncovered, but she did not look embarrassed to be seen like that. 

She didn't cover herself at all, but since she was 11 there was barely anything to see. Though due to her being a Devil she was filling out faster than normal human girls. She rubbed her eyes a bit as wondered what he wanted. 

"Brother, what is it?"

Romonus's face palmed a little as he remembered that Rias in the anime never cared to undress in front of Issei or even Kiba. She even said she could only sleep if she was naked. He thought that was not going to happen, but it seemed it started when she went through puberty. 

"Why are you naked? You always slept in a nightgown before this so I thought you would be dressed." 

Rias reached down and began to pull on her clothes starting with her panties. 

"My body is hurting and it's more comfy this way. You normally knock, what is it?" 

Romonus waved his hand and pulled a nightgown onto his sister's uncovered body. She was far too young to get his interest yet and he was no pedophile. He knew what that did to a person one just had to look at him. 

"Rias, sit down as I got news to tell you." 

She sat down on her bed as he sat next to her. He had to move his sword onto his lap first to get it out of the way. Once they were seated he reached out and wrapped an arm around her to pull her into a hug.

She reached up with a hand to pat his arm a little confused. 

"Brother, what happened?" 

He looked down at her and hugged her tight. 

"Mother just went to challenge Father into a Duel for the right to Divorce him." 

Instantly Rias' blue eyes became wide like sausers. 

"WHAT?!"

She tried to struggle out of his hold, but she was far too weak to fight him in strength. He did not let her out of it as this was serious. 

"BROTHER! We have to stop her. She can't, she just can't." 

She reached up and tried to pry his arm off of her. He did not let go. 

"I know it's not ideal, but do you think Mom is happy being married to Father?" 

Rias looked up to look at him with tears starting to stream down her eyes. 

"She told me she was. She always said so, she said their love was beautiful." 

"Rias. She was lying to you for your sake. She wanted you to find happiness instead of being married off like she was. Do you want to hear the full story?" 

She nodded. 

"Yes, I want to know. ?"

"Simply put our Father's harem. I know harems are normal for our people, but he went about it the wrong way. He neglected our Mother for years at a time. The last time they were together was when you and I were conceived. 

Due to our low birthrates, they did not expect us, but we happened. Mom is nearly 1,000 years old and she has been married to Father since she was 25. She has been venting to me about her marriage. For the first 100 to 200 years they had a happy marriage. Then Father began to get his harem and he just kept growing it. 

She tried to manage it for him, but that was hard when there were over 200 women in it. Even for a Devil keeping that many women without neglecting them is impossible. Mother is just the one who was forgotten." 

Rias clenched her hands in anger as she looked up at him. 

"I didn't know." 

He smiled at her and laid down on the bed with Rias in his arms. She was 5'3 right now and in the anime, she got to be around 5'8 his current height. 

"Neither did I until she told me 5 months ago. Seems the pregnancy of Marcina was the final straw for her. It was the one rule she had for his harem. She just told me to come tell you the news." 

He let go of Rias and saw her sit up in bed. She turned around to face him while wiping her tears. 

"Are all men the same? Do they even love us?"

He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He sat up and crossed his legs under him. He pointed at himself. 

"Do you think I am like Father?" 

Rias thought about it a bit before she looked at him with a distrustful look. 

"You are getting a harem. I know about you with big sis Serafall and that Miria lady."

He saw her pout a little so he raised his hands to explain. 

"Just so you know I asked Latia permission and my girlfriends all know about each other. I also go on dates with each one often since I started dating them. I don't neglect them like Father does as he just has sex with them and nothing more. 

I don't want a harem of mistress as I want a big family of wives. Different thin and when was the last time Father took Mom out on a date?" 

Rias was going to speak, but she realized she had nothing to say. 

"Never. Big Brother Sirzechs gives all his time to big sis Grayfia. And I guess what you do is ok too?"

She crossed her arms and looked away from him. He smiled as he leaned forward to rest on his stomach to look at Rias. 

"Are you jealous, little girl that you have no one?"

She stuck her tongue out at him. 

"Who is jealous? I am not." 

He crawled forward and flipped around to rest his head on her lap as he looked up at her. 

"Really? Because Riser is still open?" 

Rias pulled on his cheeks hard. 

"JERK! All men suck. Riser included." 

He let her do as she wanted as this was not hurting. 

"In that case guess you will be single all your life. You will be like a human grandma with 100 cats then while I will have a big family with plenty of children." 

She looked down at him with a smile. 

"That sounds nice." 

He nodded. 

"Yeah. You know, if you don't find anyone, you can have me." 

Rias looked down at him as he was on her lap. 

"Really?" 

He nodded. 

"I learned something from mom, our great grandparents are half-siblings of house Bael. And Mother is the child of our grandfather and his niece." 

Rias reached down and began to stroke his hair. 

"I guess that won't be too bad then. I already know everything about you so I don't mind" 

He smiled as he poked her on her nose. 

"My heart will always be open to you Rias. Just grow up a little you little brat. You're barely taller than Serafall and so immature. I can't think that you and Latia are the same age as she acts like a refined Noble lady. "

She reached down and pulled on his cheeks again. 

"Jerk. Don't compare me to Latia. As for Serafall, I am getting taller and growing my boobs. She put all her points into her breaths." 

"You can't pick and choose Rias." 

"Watch me." 

He chuckled as he and Rias were always close. He decided to discard his thoughts of this world just being an 'anime' world. It was real and he would live his life to the fullest to make up for his past one. He could gather a large family, and more friends, and reach the level of his boss. 

He wanted to repay Rahvdall for this life he had been given. He was just glad that his family lasted together this long. He did wonder how it was going for his Father. 

---

Zeoticus when he woke up did not expect the day to change much. He took a shower without his maids for once as he still had this curse on him. He got dressed and left for his office where he spent most of his time these days. 

Just when he was about to get his work started, Venelana walked into his office. when she walked in he perked up as he thought that she had come to talk. 

"Venelana my love. I am glad you have come to see me. I have to say that outfit looks lovely on you. Did Romonus inspire it?"

Venelana kept a cordial smile as she reached up and removed her wedding ring. She placed it on his desk and pushed it forward. 

"He did, but that is not why I am here. I am here to challenge you to a duel for the right to divorce you. I am sorry." 

Zeoticus felt his entire world come crumbling down. A divorce after all the years they had gone through together. He stood up and reached out for her hand. 

"What? What brought this about? I know I broke our agreement with the baby, but a divorce?" 

Venelana shook her head. 

"That is just a part of the issue Zeoticus. When we married, I felt we had a marriage to be envied. You gave me your love and I gave you mine, but when you brought your harem I thought it would stay small. 

Now, you have over 200 women to satisfy all your needs and your attention. Before we conceived Romonus and Rias, we were intimate 9 times in a century. That was not normal and I was loyal to you that whole time while you were off enjoying yourself. 

Marcina's pregnancy was just the final nail. Now Zeoticus, I Venelana Bael officially challenge you to a duel. We can fight here or in the arena. Your pick. Oh, and win or lose I will be returning your ability to use your cock in 6 months. Marry Marcina or any of your ladies because I am through." 

Zeoticus looked down at his table before he stood up. He looked up both heart broken and angry because this was his fault. He should have known this would happen he just thought it wouldn't. 

"If that is what you want." 

He brought up his right hand where his wedding ring was placed. He activated the gem placed on it and teleported them down bellow the mansion to an ancient arena that was used long ago for gladiator battles. 

Once they arrived, Zeoticus looked across the field at his soon-to-be ex-wife. He could barely accept that fact, but he would fight with everything for even a chance to show how much he cared.

Venelana took a deep breath before her body a massive aura of Power of Destruction formed around her. Her hair began to float as she looked across at Zeoticus. 

"I loved you Zeoticus. You killed that love, now fight me." 

Zeoticus' face went rigid as he released his Demonic Power at all his power. He would show everything just to show he did not want their marriage to end. Sadly, it was over already.
