RAVEL'S POV—
Waking up next morning, I found Sona to be missing from the bed. Sitting up on the bed, I found myself in some loose and clean clothes. *Bang* A loud sound came from downstairs. Sona's screams followed after that.
I got off from the bed, and climbed down the stairs. I looked around to find where she was. At that moment, I heard clanking of utensils coming from the kitchen. I headed towards the kitchen and saw Sona cooking... er, trying to cook.
Utensils were all over the floor, like they were having playdate amongst them. I asked, "What are you doing? Why the utensils are all over the floor?"
She flinched from my words. Turning towards me, she stuttered, "Y-you a-are a-a-awake?"
"Yeah. Are you trying to cook? Let me see?"
"Wait!!" yelled Sona. She tried to stop me but, I lightly pushed her away and looked at the dish she prepared.
Dark Matter. It was pure dark matter. Believe me when I say, dark matter is not something you can see. But what Sona prepared... is the same as that invisible substance.
Sighing, I said, "Sort out the utensils that are on the floor and I will cook our breakfast. And no buts, or anything." Sona wanted to protest but ultimately nodded her head. After cooking and eating, both of us sat on the couch in the living room. Suddenly, I noticed her to be blushing. When I followed her gaze, I saw her looking at the marks she left last night. She asked, "You didn't... heal yourself?"
I replied, "You told not to, and besides, I don't mind having marks on my body. Do you think I care what anyone would say?"
Sona blushed even more, and nodded her head. What's with this contrast? Yesterday, she was roaring lion, who was marking its territory and today, she behaving like an ostrich. Will she even bury her head in the ground?
She asked, "How you can be so nonchalant about this? You are now a very hot topic in underworld... no, I would say in the whole supernatural world. Your strength is not something to joke about. If I were to believe... your strength can put the devil kings in a tight situation."
Wow! Did she just change the topic? I asked, "You are asking me...my future endeavours, right?" Sona nodded her head, "I don't plan to do any. I just plan to have fun and... maybe some adventures," I looked in her eyes, "Sona, I... am a very listless person. Unlike you, I don't have any goals. I don't plan to use my strength as a hero or, a villain. I don't plan to conquer anything. I just want to do whatever I want. I want to live freely, without any obstacles and limits. If there are any, I would just break them. So, I am warning you... being with me, you would have to handle these things. Think of me... as a housewife. It will be easy. I am not handling any responsibility that comes my way."
Sona looked at me with no surprise evident on her face. She said, "I know. Maybe that's why I like you. You don't have any motives. You are happy with what you have. You are a devil yet; you lack our qualities. It's almost like you are a human. Also, in my future... I do believe you attract more like me. Over the course of time, I believe I will be able to handle it."
'More like her?' Is she saying I will have a harem? Ppftt!! What a joke?! I said, "I won't have any. I can't handle too many. One is already enough for me." I assured her.
She mocked, "Yeah... we will see." I didn't say anything and just laughed at her words. What I didn't know is that... I will be forced to eat these words back.
The bell rang. Sona got up and walked towards the door. After a minute, she returned with Gremory siblings, Grayfia and Rias's peerage in tow.
"Yo! Why are you here? Is this because of the conditions?" I asked them. Of course, I knew the reason but... asking them gives me, a wonderful feeling.
Sirzechs sighed, "Yes, I have told them about that specific condition of yours..."
He couldn't complete his words. He coughed and averted his eyes. Grayfia asked, "What happened with your neck?"
I pointed at my neck. I said, "This? Last night, this is done by Sona. She has marked me all over my body."
"RAVELLL!! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!" Sona yelled loudly. Everyone was blushing at my words. Sirzechs cleared his throat and said, "Good to know that... Sona, is a passionate lover. But I think we should get back on the topic?"
I nodded my head. Seeing me agreeing, he continued, "I have told them, and they agreed to it. They—"
"I don't think I have asked their opinion, Lord Lucifer. If I am helping their leader, then have to accept my conditions. It wasn't a choice. It was a fucking order. I would say it's karma," I looked at Rias, "I want to ask you some questions. Did I hurt you? Did I do something outrageous to you?" she shook her head in denial, "then, why were you behaving like that? It was as if, I killed your dog. Hmmm... whatever. I hope you are ready."
They nodded their head in unison. I continued, "Good. So, you all would be wearing servant's uniform. You also, the spoiled brat, Rias. My second-in-command would be Sona. After me, she would come in power. You all will sleep in the hall. Cooking, cleaning, washing, everything would done by you all. And Issei, if I hear anything perverted about me or Sona then, I would rip off your tongue and put it in your ass. Understood?"
He nodded his head frantically. It seems they have told him everything that had transpired yesterday. Sirzechs gritted his teeth in anger. I smiled at him in provocation. He won't fight me, when the odds are against him. With a heavy heart, he nodded his head.
"Well, bye Lord and his wife or... er, maid." I waved at him and Grayfia. Sirzechs patted Rias's head and went away. Grayfia did the same but, before going she bowed to me and went away, following after her husband.
