Descendent Unchained

Chapter 3

"So, your last name is Lucifuge?" Grayson let out an annoyed sigh, this was almost the hundredth time Sirzechs had asked him that question.

Right after Grayson was carried in and fed, Sirzechs took the chance to formally introduce himself and also give Grayson a brief explanation about where he was.

Grayson couldn't dwell on his newly received information. Because Sirzechs, one of the four Devil Kings, with the title of Lucifer, wouldn't stop bugging him about his last name as soon as he introduced himself.

"For the last time, yes my last name is Lucifuge, Grayson Lucifuge," Grayson replied stoically.

"Sorry, it's just you share the same last name as someone else I know." Sirzechs rubbed the back of his head. From the stupid moronic smile that he was sporting, Grayson thought he was trying to rile him up.

But in reality, Sirzechs has many thoughts swarming his head.

"And just who might this person be?" Grayson asked curiously.

"Lord Lucifer." A female voice interrupted him, and any more attempts that seemed like Sirzechs was trying to rile up Grayson had disappeared along with his smile. Grayson turned his attention to the door and indeed standing there was a female and the one who had kindly made the food for him.

Grayson was thankful to her, this woman was Grayfia. She had given him a splendid meal and also killed the idiotic conversation he found himself in with Sirzechs that had been going on for quite some time now.

"You said you have no knowledge of the Underworld, yet you are here. Tell me, where do you hail from?" From her voice alone one could tell that she wasn't asking she was telling Grayson to tell or he would have some kind of punishment for refusing.

...

...

"Hmm... I have no knowledge of my past. The only thing I truly remember is my name." Grayson stated he had no reason to lie and not that he would anyway. Truly the only thing he remembered before his name was that big red lizard.

"Well~, if my deduction is correct, then you must have Amnesia and I think I know who's responsible for it too. But the only question is Grayson, why would Great Red take such an interest in you to the point he would trouble himself by both taking away your memories and transporting you here? What is it that makes you special? What are you...?" Although Sirzechs was asking cheerfully, his voice had an edge to it that would put someone into submission.

Grayson felt nostalgic like he was used to being asked things and ordered around. Grayson could only look down at himself and think, "...I... Am..."

Present

After they had finished the meal, Grayson was dragged away by Rias who was eager to show him around the mansion. The adults were content to let the children play, and besides, now they could finally get down to the pressing issue.

"So, why did you bring the boy here?" Zeoticus asked. Sirzechs, who was eating ice cream, stopped, and sweat dropped at the gaze his father was giving him, it was so intense that it could melt his ice cream.

"Yes, I would like to know as well. When you contacted us earlier and said you found something interesting. I didn't expect it to be a child," Venelana stated.

"Okay~, but before I tell you, let me ask you something first," Zeoticus and Venelana only looked at each other and sighed at their son's whimsical question, but let him carry on, "What do you think of him?"

...

...

"Huh? Was that question hard? Or was I not clear enough on who I was talking about?" Sirzechs asked curious at his parents' lack of response.
