Rias continued her introduction.

"Lu...Lord Lucifer, hello!"

Asia looked a little nervous.

She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly into Gu Bo's eyes. She just greeted him in a low voice, her voice as small as a mosquito's.

Gu Bo looked at Asia, who was wearing a white nun's uniform. She looked as timid as a little animal.

It forms a sharp contrast with the mature charm of Himejima Akeno beside her.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Asia."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Guber Diablo."

Gu Bo's voice was gentle and he deliberately slowed down his speech in an attempt to ease the girl's anxiety.

There was a soothing smile in his purple eyes, and he did not use the new title "Lucifer".

Instead, he chose his original name.

This subtle action seemed to dissipate the invisible barrier in the air a little.

Hearing Gu Bo's gentle voice, Asia's tense body seemed to relax a little.

She raised her head cautiously and glanced at Gu Bo quickly. Her green eyes were wet like a frightened deer. Then she lowered her head quickly as if she had been electrocuted, and a faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

"Master Gu... Master Gubai, hello..."

"Asia has only recently become my dependent and isn't used to occasions like this. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Seeing this, Rias quickly stepped forward and explained with a smile.

"Oh my, Asia is really shy~"

Seeing this, Himejima Akeno on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Himejima Akeno walked over to Asia and gently patted her shoulder.

"However, it is a relief to receive personal greetings from Lord Lucifer."

"Asia is the first one~ You should cherish this opportunity~"

Although Himejima Akeno's words were meant as a joke, they just happened to ease Asia's tension.

"Akeno!" Rias glared at Himejima Akeno in annoyance, signaling her not to tease Asia.

Himejima Akeno still had that charming smile on her face, she covered her mouth lightly, but did not continue teasing.

At that moment, a faint fragrance blew over. Everyone turned their heads and saw Venelana Gremory approaching gracefully, holding a glass of red wine.

She had a proper smile on her face, and her deep purple eyes were like a calm lake, without any ripples, yet seemed to reflect everything.

Venelana Gremory walked over gracefully, holding a glass of scarlet wine.

The dark red dress she was wearing was like flowing flames.

It swayed gently with her movements, outlining her mature and voluptuous figure perfectly. Her long flaxen hair was tied to one side, revealing her smooth neck. Her purple eyes were like deep gems, with a faint smile, yet seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Master Copper, Rias."

Venelana's voice was gentle and pleasant, as intoxicating as mellow wine.

"It seems like you two are getting along very well."

Cooper noticed the moment Venelana approached.

Rias, who originally had a bit of girlish innocence, immediately became a little restrained.

She subconsciously stood up straight, and the smile on her face faded a little, becoming more polite. When her green eyes looked at Venelana, there was obvious respect and even a subtle nervousness.

"It seems that this elder sister means a lot to Rias."

Gu Bo understood clearly that Venelana's calm aura and Rias's subtle but obvious changes were silently telling of the unequal relationship between the two.

They are called sisters, but in reality they are more like superiors and inferiors.

"Lord Gubai, I hope I didn't disturb you."

"Ms. Venelana, you're welcome."

Cooper returned the polite smile.

"Miss Rias is introducing her followers to me."

"Really?"

Venelana's gaze fell on Himejima Akeno and Asia, a scrutiny flashed in her purple eyes, and then she revealed an impeccable smile.

"Both of them are very outstanding young people."

Venelana's words were flawless, expressing appreciation while maintaining an appropriate distance.

"Thank you for the compliment, sister."

Rias responded quickly, her response was very appropriate, completely in line with the attitude a noble lady should have in front of her elders.

But that reserved look was completely different from the agility she had when she was dancing with Gu Bo just now.

Venelana gently shook the wine glass in her hand, and the scarlet wine left traces on the wall of the glass.

Her gaze returned to Gu Bo again, with inquiry:

"Lord Gu Bo, I wonder how you feel about tonight's banquet? Was the hospitality very good?"

"The banquet was magnificent. The Gremory family's hospitality lived up to their reputation. Everything was wonderful."

Gu Bo's gaze fell on the graceful eldest daughter of the Gremory family and he nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Venelana's smile deepened a little, and she was about to say something else.

At this moment, another man with extraordinary bearing walked towards this side.

The newcomer also had striking crimson hair, but her hair color was slightly darker than Rias's, making her look more stable.

He was wearing a well-tailored black suit and had a handsome face. Although there were traces of time at the corners of his eyes, his emerald green eyes were still sharp, scrutinizing everything around him like an eagle. His every move exuded the majesty and momentum of someone who had been in a superior position for a long time.

This person is none other than Geoticus Gremory, the current head of the Gremory family, the pure-blooded superior demon and the father of Venelana, Sirzechs, and Rias.

"Lord Lucifer, welcome to my daughter Rias's coming-of-age ceremony."

"Geoticus Gremory, I have been waiting for you."

"I apologize for not being able to greet you in person."

Geoticus and Varusen walked up to Guber, bowed slightly, and performed standard aristocratic etiquette with their voices deep and steady.

In response to Geoticus's greeting, Gu Bo simply raised his hand slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

"Master Geoticus, you're welcome."

Gu Bo's voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard.

"Today is Ms. Rias's coming-of-age ceremony. I'm here to congratulate her. I apologize for any inconvenience."

"It is an honor for the Gremory family that Lord Gu Bo has graced us with his presence. How can we be bothered by this?"

Geoticus showed a warm smile on his face, and his eyes swept over Gurefia, Esdeath and others behind Guber without leaving a trace.

He secretly evaluated the new demon king's team in his heart.

"I suppose this is the legendary Silver-haired Queen of Annihilation, Lady Greyfia? I've long heard of you."

Geoticus turned his gaze towards Gurefia and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Master Geoticus is too kind."

Gurefia bowed slightly and responded appropriately.

"By the way, Lord Guber, regarding the marriage that Venelana mentioned to you earlier."

Geotix paused, as if observing Guber's reaction. Seeing that he looked calm, he continued.

[120] Venelana

"Lord Guber, regarding the marriage that Venelana mentioned to you earlier."

He was choosing his words, his eyes casually sweeping over Gurefia who was standing next to Gu Bo.

The long silver hair and powerful aura silently reminded him that he needed to adjust his strategy.

"Everyone in the Gremory family admires Master Gubo's demeanor."

Geoticus had a perfectly placed smile on his face.

"To deepen the friendship between our two families, and to give Venelana the opportunity to learn more from Master Gu Bo..."

He did not directly mention the words "wife" or "principal wife".

Instead, it was expressed in a more tactful way.

"We hope that Venelana can... always be by your side."

"My Lord, I wonder what Master Gubai thinks?"

Once these words were spoken, even though the wording was euphemistic.

The meaning of "serving on one's left and right" was self-evident among the nobles, and was equivalent to degrading Venelana's status to that of a concubine.

Even the kind that has no clear identity.

Sirzechs's brows knitted slightly.

There was a hint of complexity in his eyes as he looked at Venelana.

Rias's eyes widened, her emerald green eyes filled with disbelief.

She subconsciously looked at her sister.

however.

Venelana's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

She still had that dignified and elegant smile on her face.

It was as if what Geoticus said was not something of great importance to her lifelong happiness, but a trivial social etiquette.

She even turned slightly to look at Gu Bo softly.

That gesture actually seemed like acquiescence?!

Gu Bo took it all in and understood it all.

This "flax-haired extinct lady".

The situation in the family.

It was indeed more subtle than he had imagined.

Although Sirzechs was once a "transcendent", his strength has been greatly reduced and he can no longer take care of himself.

Although Rias is loved, she is still young and has limited say in family affairs.

And Venelana, the eldest daughter with great strength and Baal blood, seems to have become a pawn used by the family to consolidate its status and exchange for benefits.

Just like a canary trapped in a gorgeous birdcage, it looks bright and beautiful, with full wings, but it cannot fly freely and can only sing according to the wishes of its owner.

This made Gu Bo even more interested in Venelana.

"..."

Guber did not directly respond to Geoticus's proposal in front of everyone.

Instead, he turned his gaze towards Venelana, a gentle smile on his face:

"Ms. Venelana, regarding this matter, I thought... perhaps we could talk about it alone?"

His tone was calm.

No emotion or anger could be heard.

Venelana was slightly startled, then nodded gracefully:

"Of course, Master Cooper."

Gu Bo then stood up.
