Millicas was certain that his mother took offence to the fact that he added a maid who wasn't personally trained by herself to his Peerage.
"And last but not the least is our youngest member, my Pawn, Ruby Rose."
In contrast with her friend's restrained greetings, the red-haired speedster waved her hand happily at the occupants with a bright smile on her face before she dashed up to his grandmother and eagerly shocked the surprised devil's hand.
"Hello there madam I'm Ruby, it's a pleasure meeting you."
Stopping for a second, she quickly moved up to Grayfia and repeated her greeting and the handshake getting only a raised eyebrow at her speed and disregard of protocol from the Queen of Lucifer.
Seeing her fellow servant breaching social protocol without a second thought Tarte intervened while ignoring her Master's laughter at the sight.
Dashing to the younger girl's side the blond maid took hold of Ruby's cloak and stopped her.
"I'm terribly sorry for her actions Lady Gremory. Ruby! You can't just dash around the room as you please there is a proper place and a time for everything."
Tarte bowed apologetically at the oldest devil in the room while dragging the younger girl back to their group.
"Don't worry about it dear, no offence was made." Venelana easily forgave the younger girl's action before sending a look to her grandson when he finally stopped laughing.
After presenting his Peerage, Millicas proceeded to present the rest of the room to them starting with his grandmother and his relatives before going over Rias'
Peerage members while ignoring Tarte's whispered reprimands to Ruby and Kiara's whispered attempts at mediating, Ruby for her part looked a little guilty but not much.
Once presentations were done, Millicas and his Peerage sat on the couch opposite the women of the Gremory clan,
Millicas taking the middle sit while Kiara sat at his right, Ruby at his left and Tarte stood by the right side of the couch.
"Now that presentations are out of the way," Venelana said with a kind smile while observing her grandson and his friends.
"I must confess that the family was certainly surprised with you adding 3 members to your Peerage so quickly."
"As you must already know Grandma," said Millicas. "I had already recruited them before I got my evil pieces."
"Yes, Rias has already mentioned that," ignoring the betrayed look her daughter gave her Venelana continued with her question.
"But I was more interested in how you met each other than when you got them to agree to be reincarnated."
Venelana saw how Millicas looked at his servants as if to decide how to start answering her question before her attention was pulled to his pawn.
"Oh, can I answer?" Ruby said, smiling innocently and raising her hand as if to get a teacher's attention during class.
Venelana nodded to the girl before Millicas could say anything, the look in his eyes let her know that, for whatever reason, he wouldn't have started with the youngest one if given the choice.
"I don't know the details for the others but Millicas approached me late at night while I was in a store and he convinced me to follow him to a dark alleyway before he confessed,
he was a devil and promised me anything I could wish for in exchange for my eternal servitude."
Of all the different methods that were used by Devil Kind to make contracts, the granting of a wish was considered the most ancient and effective one,
as long as the wish could be granted and it not been just an excuse to manipulate an unsuspecting human.
It wasn't one of the methods that Venelana thought Millicas would default to but all in all, she was happy with the knowledge that he didn't seduce
the girl into his bed and service like her husband would have, she wasn't against that method or against Millicas sleeping with his servants, she didn't want her grandson to overdo it as Zeoticus did.
She knew for a fact that her husband had slept at the very least once with each and every one of their servants in their mansion, he was a bit of a manslut but his heart was in the right place and Venelana loved him.
"What did you wish for?" asked Rias to the younger girl, curious about the whole thing having never actually used that particular method to add one of her servants to her own Peerage
"It's a little complicated," Ruby replied with an awkward smile. "But I asked him to revive my mom."
An uncomfortable silence settled over the room. Seeing their surprise at the impossible wish and interest in how she would end up joining his Peerage if he couldn't grant her wish the younger redhead proceeded to explain.
Her Mother, Summer Rose, was a monster hunter who had disappeared during a mission while Ruby was a child and had been presumed KIA for years.
Millicas, knowing that he couldn't revive the woman promised to find out what had happened to her in exchange for Ruby's friendship instead.
He then spent the next couple of years investigating the fate of the elder Rose while visiting Ruby and getting to know each other better, their tenuous friendship blossoming into a proper one as the years went by.
Then some time ago his constant investigation finally bore a long-awaited fruit.
Only to discover that Summer hadn't died during her mission all those years ago but had been imprisoned and tortured by an enemy for close to a decade.
Once he discovered this Millicas made haste and tracked down the enemy's hideout.
Once the location was confirmed he attacked them with extreme prejudice, killing every single one of the wardens and kidnappers that watched over the location before rescuing the wounded Summer Rose and returning her to her family.
He even arranged for Kiara to heal Summer with her Sacred Gear and help her with the trauma with weekly meetings, a process that continues to this day.
