Limits Of The Flesh In DXD

As I entered the typically ornate sitting room with Grayfia and entered as she closed the door behind me, I raised an eyebrow as she sealed the room with a series of magical glyphs that I knew through my own magical lessons with Akeno that the glyphs were to seal sounds and act as a physical lock should someone attempt to open the door.

I wasn't feeling threatened or anything as we always as a matter of fact sealed the room should we need to talk about important stuff that could impact the clan so I raised an eyebrow as I looked to Venelana and then to Grayfia as the queen of maids took a seat next to the Gremory Matriarch.

"So Grayfia told me, that we needed to discuss something." I gently led in, and the ladies shared a look before Venelana began to speak.

"Jake what do you know of the Gremory Bloodline?" She asked and I raised an eyebrow and reflexively felt the passive 'plot armor' bloodline ability of the devil's luck that the Gremory clan had and I said as such, with her nodding and continuing. "What most people do not understand is that just as Gremory's have seemingly infinite 'good luck' they are also cursed to 'live in interesting times' as the karma of good and bad things happening must settle... Its why even as Rias ran around the world getting high-quality peerage members, later on in life things became difficult and problematic things always landed in her lap." 

That kinda made sense as even if she was Sirzechs sister and had a Longinus wielder in canon, the amount of assholes and nonsense that kept happening in the large town or small city of Kuoh was ridiculous honestly. But if she was paying back the luck of running into all her high-quality peerage members in the worst state that made them latch onto her? The balance in karmic retribution would explain the canon nonsense always bum-rushing her.

"But regardless of the effects of the Gremory Bloodline, what matters now and why we wished to speak with you, Is the fact that you have the Gremory Bloodline, Rias and even my son Milicas don't technically have it as both inherited the Bael Bloodline of the Power of Destruction... And the Gremory ancestor isn't slated to wake up for months if not a full year." Grayfia explained before taking a breath.

"Jake, the laws of the Underworld are complicated... And with both Rias and Milicas not having the Gremory clan trait clearly, like Sairaorg, just as he has the Vapula bloodline to control and enhance lions, he is noted as being a Bael, a devil with no clan trail... And thus now the devils are considering the Gremory Clan to be extinct."

I didn't really see where this was going for a bit but then I kinda got it as I nodded. "So you wish for me to give Rias or Miliicas, the Gremory, Devils Luck?" I asked in confirmation and there was a silence as they both shared a look.

Then finally with a small smile, Venelana shook her head as she spoke in her typical soft and gentle tone. "No Jake, Grayfia, and myself are in a bit of a quandary due to our status as entities born of clans hostile to the New Satans from the get-go, or belonging to the forces that broke the New Satans... In other words Jake. I will be blunt, I wish for you to take myself and Grayfia into your harem allowing us the legitimacy to remain within the family without drama with the rest of the devil clans."

I froze at the utterly blunt way of her asking to join my harem. Which wasn't exactly the most established of things as I had only fooled around with my creations a bit, and had only slept with Rias, Artemis, and Yubelluna, Riser's previous queen.

"You don't need to do that," I said with a small frown as there was something else at play here than just the remaining devil clans doing a smear campaign. The maids here, at the mansion were almost assuredly loyal due to them living almost their entire lives here, and likewise, the Gremory clan itself was very tightnit with everyone getting along very well so it's not like we would split apart. "Neither of us care for the opinions of the other devil clans... What is the actual reason?" I asked with a small smile and Grayfia flushed as Venelana tittered as she gave me a lidded look.

"Jake. Being too intelligent and calculative when a woman opens her heart isn't that manly... But you are correct in either case." Venelana spoke as she then placed her hand on Grayfia's knee and the silver-haired beauty jolted at the contact as Venelana continued. "You see Jake. The Lucifuge Devil Bloodline is actually a supportive bloodline, when a Lucifuge locks onto a 'Lucifer' their passive bloodline will boost and make the recipient of their attentions stronger... While also making the Lucifuge member more focused on that person." 

I could now see the small flush in Grayfia's cheeks and then I remembered the times of Grayfia being physically affectionate and the way her eyes lit up in the bath... And of course the time she held her arm against her breasts as she checked on her son and she so longingly said I would make a good father.

There was a moment of silence as I processed all this information. And finally, after a bit of mental gymnastics, I nodded in understanding and I spoke out my thoughts. I mean I already accepted Milicas, as my brother-in-law.

Accepting him as my son-in-law wasn't that big of a leap at this point.

"I... Alright, if that's the way you feel, I will do my best to honor those feelings. But what about you Venelana?" I asked with a wry smile as she elegantly giggled behind a closed hand and then she looked at me with almost slitted eyes as her voice came through her hand huskily.

"And I must be the lonely widow of the Gremory Clan? Unloved and left with the warmth of a man and meant to only knit the clothes of the children you will be creating with your harem?" She monologued and as I my eyebrows raised at her nonsense, I heard a giggle as she lowered her hand and then leaned forward and I couldn't help but notice her massive breasts cleavage that was open to my eyes with the motion as she spoke.

"Jake, I am a needy woman, I was the queen of Zeoticus's harem and I have needs. I want you Jake, you are already the head of the Gremory clan basically so, as long as you take me as your concubine or as a wife I can continue my work as the Matriach of the clan without any issues..."

Venelana finally shrugged and finished her speech with. "And frankly, Rias has told me about the degenerate stuff you can do with your flesh crafting and I want to try this mindbreak fetish she mentioned." She spoke and then added frankly. "And Jake, you are right. I certainly love you a bit, not as much as my previous husband granted, but I can see myself coming to love you deeply in the countless years we have." 

With that final speech from Venelana that was it. There was now a sort of tension in the room as Grayfia and Venelana were clear as to what would happen naturally as a member of my harem. It was just a question of when. 

But as I shifted at the thought of doing the deed Grayfia likewise shifted and Venelana tittered with her giggling ringing out like a bell before she mischievously spoke. "Oh, dear? Already think of the carnal aspects? Should I leave you two alone?" She teased and I think I got where Akeno got a lot of her teasing from.

But regardless I struck back verbally. "I only shifted... Aren't you the one going to that level?" I questioned and she paused before actually nodding as she hefted her large breasts under her arms and then stretched as she stood up from the couch she was sharing with Grayfia and then walked over and leaned over at face level with me and her large breasts hanging in view from the cut in her dress.

"I am a needy woman Jake, who has lived for millennia and tasted all forms of the forbidden fruit... Rias got her love of nudity from me, say the word and I will drop my dress right now and we can see where things go?" She teased and I couldn't help but see how Grayfia's face had become utterly pink at how shameless Venelana was.
