Lucifuge Hope

Petra kept the wand under his robe, ensuring that his magic tool was always ready to use. When he was about to descend from the cold mountains, his clothing style changed drastically. From the thick clothes that tightly covered his body, Petra changed into a more contemporary figure. He wore a sharp long coat, a neat shirt, and an elegant tweed coat. Every outfit he wore gave a classic touch that exuded elegance.

Grayfia, who was previously moved by her father's story, was a little flabbergasted at the sudden change in Petra's appearance. However, she was not too surprised. A renowned magus like Petra could change his appearance in an instant, and that was not an extraordinary skill for him.

However, the sight of a handsome man in an elegant suit like this was unusual, even for Grayfia who had often seen men with similar styles. However, the aura radiating from Petra cannot be described in words.

"Okay, let's go," said Petra, ending the moment of silence firmly.

Grayfia quickly wiped away her tears and nodded with a face that was slightly red from crying earlier. She tried to maintain her composure even though she still felt emotionally stunned for a moment by the depth of the story she had just heard.

....

"So this is what the underworld looks like," said Petra while looking at the sky which was not blue, but like an aurora, even though according to the time in the underworld it was still daytime.

"Has Petra-sama never visited the underworld before?" Grayfia asked. It's a little surprising that a magus as renowned as Petra has never visited the underworld.

"No..." Petra answered briefly. "When I wanted to go to the underworld, it was still at war, and everyone annoyed me so that opportunity was lost." Still remembering how every faction made a fuss about him, including the demon race, which was the most numerous and annoyed him the most except for Areon.

"I-I see-" An awkward expression was evident on Grayfia's face, with her eyes averted due to the shame of being part of a devil, making Petra feel annoyed towards her race.

"It's okay, I understand. "Not everyone is like that, so don't make the assumption that I don't like you either," explained Petra, trying to clarify the misunderstanding.

The beautiful, silver-haired woman nodded in understanding and unknowingly they were close to the Lucifuge clan mansion. However, there was something strange about the many soldiers in front of the residence that made Grayfia feel bad.

'Mother!' Grayfia suddenly thought of her mother when she saw the familiar face of one of the soldiers. Without hesitation, she abandoned her duty to guide Petra and ran towards the mansion without him. This scene made Petra stunned by what was happening, and he felt something was wrong with this situation when he looked at the mansion with his magic eyes.

....

The demons on guard were busy talking and gossiping about what happened.

"You know, madam Lucifuge has a more voluptuous body than lady Lucifuge herself," said a demon soldier, while wiping his obscene smile with his black-skinned hand.

"Hehehe... You know, Sir Goverick is really crazy about Lady Grayfia. However, since that woman was stubborn, so it didn't matter if it was her mother. Besides, madam is still young. So, it would be a shame not to try it too," replied his colleague in an equally obscene tone.

Grayfia, from a distance, heard what the guards were talking about and immediately attacked them indiscriminately with her ice magic. The two guards in front of the gate suddenly froze to death in ice without realizing it.

Then the other demons gathered because they felt the magical energy exploding in front of them, so a hundred demons gathered to hold Grayfia. The woman was in such anxious emotions that she couldn't focus to dodge the many attacks from the demons holding her back, but even so, she still succeeded despite the difficulties. Even though she was strong, fighting even low-rank demons with unstable emotions like this was still difficult.

The moment Grayfia opened the door, the sight she saw sparked deep anger. Goverick, the demon commander of Lord Asmodeus, was on top of the body of his mother, Layla. The woman was lying with Goverick on top of her, and her torn clothes revealed her plump body.

Lady Lucifuge's mind was full of anger. The moment she saw her mother, her beloved person was almost tainted.

"Bastard! What did you do to my mother, Goverick!" Grayfia's scream full of anger echoed in the room.

Goverick, at the peak of his lust, turned to Grayfia with a smile full of satisfaction. "Kekekeke~ Finally what we have been waiting for has arrived. Wait, after I finish with this old woman, it will be your turn."

That man was truly vile and had no morals, even wanting to continue his humiliating actions with Layla in front of her own daughter!

Of course, Grayfia wouldn't just let that happen. However, Goverick had bodyguards whose strength was at the level of a high-rank demon, and there were two of them.

The two demons managed to restrain Grayfia, even though Lady Lucifuge had magical skills that could not be underestimated. However, her current emotions were not yet stable, so she was quickly defeated by them.

"NO, DON'T DO THAT TO MOM!!" Grayfia shouted while being held down by the two demons.

Meanwhile, Goverick licked Layla's cheek, resigned to the situation, because all the difficult situations that hit them then ended with indecent treatment from the man in front of her, making her cry.

"Kekeke… Don't cry, just relax and enjoy. "Over time, you will feel pleasure," whispered the perverted demon in Layla's ear.

"What's delicious?" said Petra suddenly, standing next to Goverick with a sharp gaze, crouched down because the demon was crushing someone beneath him.

"What-- Blurgh," before Goverick had time to react, a kick hit him in the face sending him flying into the wall.

Layla, who closed her eyes because she didn't want to see Goverick's perverted face that would tarnish her, was shocked to hear a loud sound as if someone was hitting the wall hard. Making her open her eyes and see a handsome young man with brown hair and gray eyes looking at her warmly, a slight smile on his face.

"Oh my, if we hadn't been on time, who knows what would have happened," said Petra as he reached out his hand to Layla, helping Madame Lucifuge up.

The woman who was similar to Grayfia herself, but fuller and plumper, was confused and worried when she saw her daughter, Grayfia, being held by two high ranking demons. He suddenly felt worried.

"Grayfia!" She shouted, about to approach her daughter, but was held back by Petra who grabbed her shoulder with one hand, making Layla turn towards him.

"Don't worry, don't worry, your daughter is strong," said Petra calmly, easing Layla's worries.

When Madame Lucifuge turned again towards her daughter, she saw the two demons frozen and dead, while Grayfia jumped towards her with a clear expression of concern.

"MOTHER!..." Grayfia screamed as she jumped into his lap sobbing because her mother had almost been tainted by that immoral bastard.

Meanwhile, Layla returned her daughter hug and cried too because she was happy that her child was here.

Petra watched the scene with a faint smile, sighing as he turned to Goverick who had bounced against the wall earlier.

"W-WHO! How dare you ruin my fun! Even though I can enjoy the beauty a little more!" He said with an angry expression, while showing clear shoe marks on his body. Because he almost violated Layla, the top of her clothes was exposed..

"Y-you!" Grayfia exclaimed, ending the emotional moment with her mother, as soon as she heard Goverick's scream. With a terrifying aura and explosive magic, she released her embrace towards Layla.

Madam Lucifuge was shocked, wanting to stop her d

aughter's anger, but Petra once again tapped her shoulder to get her attention. "It's okay, people like Goverick should receive the reward they deserve," said Petra to Layla who was anxious, while the woman was also seeing Petra for the first time, what's more, her feelings were not yet stable due to the bad situation she almost experienced before.

Layla's mood improved slightly seeing Petra's polite actions. Her face was still red, and her hands were still shaking as she tightly grasped the collar of the coat the man had given her. "T-thank you," she said in an almost trembling voice, accompanied by a small smile on her lips.

"You're welcome, Madam," answered Petra in a simple and elegant style, while bowing his head as a sign of respect.

However, the calm atmosphere was soon disturbed by the sound of Goverick's scream of pain which broke the silence.

"ARRRGH--!!!"
