After Paul was subdued, Lucifer's gaze turned toward Aria, and he said,
"Yes... So, Duchess Aria, tell me, what is the reason for your visit to Westirifer?"
Upon Lucifer asking this, Aria replied,
"Sir Lucifer, about five days ago, Lady Mitalda from the HolyCross Duchy came here as Westirifer's envoy.
She told us that you needed the assistance of the HolyCross Duchy to move against Morthveil. She also demanded that we kill all the followers of the Church of Toxara in the HolyCross Duchy or capture them and hand them over to you.
But Sir Lucifer, I don't think there is even a single follower of Morthveil or the Church of Toxara in our duchy. The ideology of the HolyCross Duchy and the Church of Toxara has always been completely different. We have always been mortal enemies.
And that was exactly why I agreed to Lady Mitalda's request.
However, afterwards I learned that the relationship between Westirifer and the Lustbound Heaven Kingdom is not good anymore. Or rather, you two have now become enemies.
Because of that, I started doubting whether the decision I made with Lady Mitalda was correct.
Later, when I had no other options left, I sought help from my aunt — the only Oracle Master of our HolyCross Duchy and the Holygrill Ducal Family… Lady Synthia.
You see, although I am the Duchess of the HolyCross Duchy and also the matriarch of the Holygrill Ducal Family, the only person I cannot go against is Lady Synthia. Every word she says becomes law in the HolyCross Duchy.
After she spoke with the spirits, she told me that the spirits had informed her that you are their fated partner for us… and that we should abandon the kingdom's side.
That is why she ordered me to speak with you and merge the HolyCross Duchy with Westirifer.
Simply put, both the Holygrill Ducal Family and the HolyCross Duchy want to live under your protection and become your subjects.
The sole purpose of our delegation coming here is to inform you that the HolyCross Duchy is willingly surrendering to Westirifer.
There was no other reason for our visit."
Hearing Aria's words, everyone sitting in the Ducal Palace was shocked — except for the people from the HolyCross Duchy.
They had never imagined that the HolyCross Duchy would come here to surrender, and that too willingly, without any pressure from Westirifer.
Even for Lucifer, Aria's statement was no less than a shock. So he said to her,
"Lady Aria, we are talking about the merger of a duchy here. This is not a game.
If you are joking, it's fine, but please don't do this again.
My duchy only asked for cooperation from you, nothing more."
Hearing Lucifer's words, Aria replied,
"No, Sir Lucifer, I am not joking.
The HolyCross Duchy has decided that it must merge into Westirifer.
And the Holygrill Family has also decided that the people of the HolyCross Duchy want to become your subjects. We have not come here to joke with you."
After hearing Aria, Lucifer said,
"If that is the case, then Duchess Aria… what is the meaning of bringing so many soldiers with your delegation?"
To this, Aria replied,
"Sir Lucifer, these soldiers have come here only to show our sincerity.
These soldiers are here to help you. There is no other meaning behind their arrival."
After Aria said this much, Lucifer looked toward Veronica, perhaps hoping she would give him some expert advice. Seeing Lucifer's confused eyes, Veronica said,
"Luci… you told me to take decisions when you are not in the duchy. But look, you are already here. So why should I take this responsibility?
Besides, I am pregnant. I can't put too much pressure on my brain."
Saying this, Veronica looked at Lucifer and smiled teasingly.
Lucifer accepted defeat and looked toward Mia instead. But Mia said,
"Luci, being Grand-Duchess is already a huge responsibility for me. Don't look at me like that. What can I tell you?
Moreover, Duchess Aria just told you that her Oracle Master wants to stay with you and even marry you. I don't see any problem with that. Who knows, maybe the Duchess herself will also marry you. Don't you think she is beautiful?"
Lucifer accepted defeat here as well. Whether it was his mother or his wife Veronica, both were teasing him to their heart's content right now.
The person most shocked seeing this scene was none other than Elder Guntor.
He was thinking that just yesterday the Keilname County had surrendered to Westirifer and merged into it, and today the HolyCross Duchy was also surrendering. What on earth was happening?
On the other side, seeing the teasing smiles of Mia and Veronica, Lucifer said,
"You two, stop making fun of me. And Veronica, I asked you for help and you are laughing at me like this? Weren't you the one who managed the kingdom before?"
To this, Veronica replied,
"Darling, I managed it before when I was queen. But now I have left that identity behind. Now I just want to stay in my Lucifer's arms."
Hearing Veronica's words, Mia said,
"Veronica… you may be my Lucifer's wife, but I am his mommy and also his first wife. You can stay in his arms, but in his heart, only I will remain."
To this, Veronica teased Mia and said,
"We'll see about that, Mother. Besides, look, Lucifer loves me more than you. Our daughter Lucivera is growing in my womb, while there is nothing in yours."
Mia looked at Veronica and said,
"Slut… I have kept my womb reserved for Lucifer for the fertility ceremony festival. He has promised me that on the very first day of the festival, he will impregnate me.
And not only that, he will impregnate Ruby that same day too.
Now tell me, what do you have to say about that?"
Veronica replied,
"Whore Mother… who was the one who made my Lucifer cry? How can he love you more than me?
To this mia said,
What slut, what are you trying to do.... Creating conflict between me and my luci?
Besides, you have Tristian, right? I never stopped you from doing whatever you want with him, so why are you coming between me and my Lucifer?"
And just like that, a fight started between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The only thing on the faces of the onlookers was amusement.
Meanwhile, Lucifer was trying to calm both of them down.
"Mommy… Mommy, calm down."
"Veronica… Darling, don't talk to Mommy like that."
"Mommy, you also stop fighting with Veronica."
"Yes Mommy, I am only your Lucifer."
"No Veronica, that's not what I meant. I am your Lucifer too."
"Yes Mommy, I love you the most."
"Veronica… no matter what, I love Mommy the most."
"No, that doesn't mean I don't love you."
"Please… both of you stop fighting with each other. Look, everyone is watching."
"Fine Mommy, tomorrow I will do whatever you say. Okay, I will fuck you exactly the way you want."
"Fine Veronica… I will fuck you tomorrow too. But after Mommy."
While Lucifer was trying to pacify the fight between Mia and Veronica, Ruby suddenly said,
"Luci… when will my turn come? Look, your uncle Jeff only stays busy with Jenna. But honestly, his size can only satisfy Jenna."
Hearing this, Jeff said,
"Honey, it seems you've forgotten that night from three days ago when you were having orgasm after orgasm."
Ruby replied,
"Don't exaggerate so much, Jeff. I only squirted five times and you got tired after three hours.
Besides, no matter what you say, you can't compare to Luci. Your size is big and your girth is good too, but it's not like Lucifer's.
My Lucifer makes me orgasm more than ten times every time and keeps fucking me until I am fully satisfied."
Jeff said,
"That's because your Lucifer has monstrous stamina. You can't expect the same from everyone, can you?"
After that, Jeff's gaze fell on Lucifer and he said,
"Lucifer… satisfy your aunt Ruby tomorrow as well, okay?
And yes, tomorrow I will also have sex with Mia… and that too before you fuck her. Because after you, there won't be any strength left in her."
Mia said to Jeff,
"I also want to see how much strength is in Jeff's cock. Fine, tomorrow I will get fucked by you before Lucifer, but remember — you cannot kiss me mouth to mouth. And you cannot suck my boobs either."
Jeff replied,
"Fine. Anyway, I only like your comfortable pussy."
And just like that, in the middle of the ducal court assembly, Mia, Ruby, Jeff, and Veronica started bantering among themselves.
Seeing them like this, Lucifer said,
"Enough… Now all of you calm down.
Fine Uncle Jeff, you can fuck Mommy before me.
After that, I will fully satisfy Mommy. Then Veronica's turn will come, and after her, Aunt Ruby's.
Now do one thing — all of you sit quietly in your places and let me talk to Duchess Aria."
After Lucifer said this, the banter between Jeff, Veronica, Ruby, and Mia stopped. Then Lucifer looked at Aria and said,
"I apologize that you had to see and hear all this."
Aria smiled and replied,
"It's okay, Sir Lucifer. You have a very nice family. I am starting to understand you a little now."
Lucifer asked,
"Meaning?"
Aria smiled and said,
"Nothing, never mind. By the way, if you don't mind… after Lady Ruby, can my number also come?"
Hearing Aria's words, Lucifer smiled and said,
"Fine, I will satisfy you too. For now, let's talk about your duchy.
Alright, Lady Aria, I accept your duchy.
And since you have willingly chosen to merge into Westirifer, I want to give you some privileges.
You can ask me for any five wishes — whether they are related to your duchy, to you, or to your Holygrill Family. I will not refuse. You can tell me now or later as well."
Hearing Lucifer, Aria said,
"Sir Lucifer, I want to ask now."
Lucifer said,
"Go ahead."
As soon as he said that, Aria spoke:
- "Sir Lucifer, I want you to never refuse to take any woman from our Holygrill Family or the HolyCross Duchy as your wife."
- "The people of our HolyCross Duchy will not face any discrimination from you or the people of Westirifer. You will treat them exactly the same way you treat your own people."
- "The treasury of the HolyCross Duchy will remain in Lumera, and you will not use it until the matter is related to the HolyCross Duchy itself or unless you are facing an emergency."
- "If the Lustbound Kingdom puts any kind of pressure on us, you will react first."
- "You will not take any kind of interest from us, and you will focus on the development of our duchy as well."
"These are my five wishes."
Hearing Aria's words, Lucifer said,
"Even if you had not asked for any of these wishes, I would have done exactly the same.
Therefore, according to me, you have not asked for any wishes even now. Everything you asked for is my duty, and I will fulfill it in every situation.
Your five wishes are still pending. Think about it calmly and tell me later.
Now listen to me.
Westirifer has its own rules and laws, and you will have to follow them at all costs.
Upon merging with Westirifer, from today your HolyCross Duchy will no longer remain a duchy but will become the HolyCross State.
A state will have a capital, and there will be one chief family in the capital.
As the ducal family of HolyCross, your family will be made the new chief of the HolyCross State.
In my Westirifer, there is no high or low, nor are there any noble families. Therefore, you will also have to live with everyone without any discrimination.
Your army will have to work together with our army, and their pay grade will be the same as our army. I will not show any partiality.
The rights that the soldiers here have will be the same for your soldiers, and I will not even change the names of your units."
Hearing Lucifer's words, Aria said,
"Sir Lucifer, we accept everything."
Lucifer said,
"Then it's fine. With this, the assembly comes to an end. I welcome you once again to Westirifer."
After saying this, Lucifer looked toward Vance and said,
"Vance."
As soon as he took Vance's name, Vance immediately came forward and knelt before Lucifer, saying,
"Yes Master."
Lucifer continued,
"Vance… from today, Westirifer's boundary has expanded not only in the west direction but also in the south direction.
Include the soldiers who came from the HolyCross State and the soldiers from the Keilname State into our army and divide them into three parts that will guard our three borders.
The first border is that of the Keilname State.
The boundary of the Keilname State touches the Weilhiem Duchy and the Rebarn Barony, so we need around 100,000 soldiers on that border.
The second border...
