Dressed in an elegant summer dress that showed off the voluptuous figure her daughter had inherited from her, her short flaxen hair perfectly framing her youthful face, an outside observer would be forgiven for thinking she has Rias' Sister, not her mother and the oldest devil in the room.
Calmly enjoying the cup of tea that Akeno had served her Venelana Gremory waited for her Grandson to arrive with his new bishop and unknown to Rias, the other members of his new peerage.
Subtly looking over her daughter's head, Venelana took a second to enjoy the annoyed look that Grayfia was hiding under her usual serious face and expertly kept her pleased smile hidden from view with a sip of her tea.
Lady Gremory and her Daughter-in-law had never truly gotten along more than what their stations and common family demanded of them.
The two devils always clashed with each other in regards to their views, their ways of life and their methodologies to name some of the few issues they couldn't see eye to eye.
One of their many issues was how they each had chosen to raise their children, with Millicas in particular being one of their biggest disagreements to date.
The white-haired queen's frankly obsessive need to control her son's life had a very understandable reasoning at the start but her inability to let the growing boy enjoy his freedom was ridiculous to the older woman.
The fact that Sirzechs had simply let his wife do as she pleased regarding the upbringing of their son was one of the many problems Venelana had with her eldest child.
So, when Zeoticus had told her last week that her son had finally decided to put his foot down and let Millicas get his evil pieces while also moving out of the manor to Kuoh Town she had been over the moon at the good news.
Even if it meant spending less time with her beloved grandson the poor boy deserved the chance to spread his wings and live his life.
The only friends the boy could call his own growing up were Rias, her peerage, Sona Sitri and the children of Venelana's own friends he got to meet every time he used the excuse of accompanying his grandmother to any of the tea parties, she had with the other clan ladies.
Her good mood had only improved over the week every time she talked with Grayfia and she could see how unhappy her daughter-in-law was at not being able to constantly watch over the youngest Gremory.
If Venelana had made an effort to interact at least once a day with the maid just to see her suffering from maternal separation anxiety then it was to help her along during such difficult times and not at all to enjoy the long-awaited event.
It will do Grayfia's good in the long run, she needed to learn that you couldn't hold your children's hands forever, no matter how much you wanted to.
And last night's dinner, for all its regular grievances, had been the cherry on top of Venelana's best week in recent memory.
(Last Night)
As it was tradition for a long time in the Gremory household Friday nights were family dinner nights.
It was the one time each week that all the available members of the family made an effort to get together, attempt to put aside personal differences and enjoy some quality family time.
Sitting around the table inside one of the smallest and more cosy dinner rooms in the Gremory main manor 5 of the current 8 living members of the family enjoyed their luxurious dinner.
At the head of the table sat the red-haired lord of the house, Zeoticus Gremory.
To his right sat his lovely wife and the current Lady Gremory, Venelana, while at his left sat his eldest and one of the current Satan ruling over Devilkind, Sirzechs Lucifer.
Sitting on the other side of her husband was the underworld's strongest queen, Grayfia Lucifuge.
Last but not least, sitting opposite her son at the opposite head of the table was the former head of house Gremory and mother of Zeoticus, Chysis Gremory.
Rias hadn't attended the family dinners for quite some time now as she was residing in the human world. And except on the rare occasions that she was awoken from her slumber by an important event, the last one being Millicas' birth,
The Founder and Acestor of House Gremory, Runeas Gremory didn't make regular appearances on the dinners period.
Having waited after the main course as decorum demanded, the former head couldn't hold her curiosity any longer.
"Zeo where is Milly?" The ponytailed redhead asked, curiosity shining in her eyes. "He never misses family dinner, even when he goes out to play in the Human world."
Knowing how his mother would react to the news Lord Gremory chose the best method to impart the news to her.
Throw his oldest under the bus and hope for the best.
"Sirzechs decided that Millicas was old and responsible enough to receive his evil pieces and move to the human world for the time being, Mama." Zeoticus diverted as he ignored the betrayed look his eldest sent him.
"Sirzechs Gremory!" Chysis anger was felt by the whole table, not only on her tone of voice but on her release of demonic power.
"How could you do something like that? It's already bad enough that your mother let Rias move out so young, but to let Milly live there also? I expected better of you."
With an uneasy chuckle the crimson Satan attempted to calm his grandmother down, regardless of how powerful and important he was Sirzechs could never deal with any of his female relatives' anger and disapproval.
"Grandma, please don't get angry I had a perfectly good reason for it" Sirzechs said slowly.
