Prince of Asmodeus

In The Past

[10 years before chapter 1]

Rays of sunlight engulfed the quarters of Issei Asmodeus. His eyes slowly fluttered open as he slowly awakened from his deep slumber. He attempted to raise his torso from the bed but as he was almost up, a pair of hands took hold of his upper body and brought him back down.

"It's too early darling. You always work so hard you never spend enough time with me." The woman beside him spoke.

Issei freed himself from her grasp and removed the covers from their bodies. With the covers gone, their bare bodies were exposed with some of Issei's essence found on her lower regions. "What we did last night seems to point otherwise Grayfia." Came Issei's reply. When he noticed her pout Issei made sure to grab her around the waist and carry on his shoulder so they could get out of the bed.

"Issei put me down!" She playfully yelled as she hit his back with her fist.

Issei ignored her plea and made a beeline to their bath. When he arrived he made sure to check that the exceptionally large tub was filled with water and when he confirmed that it was, he threw Grayfia into it.

After Grayfia was thrown in, she quickly flailed her arms around until she was able to get a hold of herself and keep a balanced stance in the water. "You're so rude Issei!" She exclaimed.

Issei chuckled before walking into the tub and sitting beside her. "It was all in good fun Grayfia," He claimed as he began rubbing her back. "We have to get cleaned up anyways. The ceremony to officially recognize the Gremorys as the seventy-second pillar will begin in a few hours."

Grayfia grew a somber expression at the mention of the ceremony. She had hoped that they would be able to spend the whole day with one another without a care in the world. They're barely able to do so at all. As Lord Asmodeus' successor, Issei always had to be with his father when it came to the politics and battle strategy of their faction. Meanwhile, as per Issei's agreement with his father, Grayfia became the head-maid and worked tirelessly to repay the clan for saving her from Rizevim. Issei noticed Grayfias somber and decided to engage in one of his favorite activities.

While Grayfia was lost in thought, Issei decided to have some fun and began to nibble on her neck while he fondled her breast. "We still have an hour to spare before we really need to get ready. We could have a bit more fun in the meantime," He whispered into her ear seductively.

A smile returned to Grayfia's face. She wouldn't have him for long but she was going to make the most of it.

The two would once again drown themselves in euphoria for a few more hours than they originally anticipated. Lord and Lady Asmodeus would only hope that they got prepared in time for the ceremony. But knowing these two.

It probably wouldn't happen.

[Hours later]

The duo would arrive at the dining hall in the main manor belonging to House of Gremory. They had missed the main ceremony of the Gremory clan becoming the seventy-second pillar but luckily for them, no one had noticed them or seemed to care. No one except the two elder Asmodeus'. Oddly enough Lord Asmodeus wasn't that bothered by Issei being late; it was his mother who was more annoyed of the two.

"Seriously you two learn some restraint," Ukina started with a stern look on her face that said they were in some trouble. "You're lucky that none of the other Satans noticed your absence."
