As soon as Lucifer stepped back into the Ducal Palace after returning from Holy Cross State, two voices hit him in perfect sync:
"Don't you dare take one more step!"
Lucifer had been in such a mad rush, dragging Crotivia along with him, that he hadn't even noticed who was standing on either side of him. But he recognized those two voices instantly.
Both voices were incredibly sweet, dripping with love... yet the pure rage bubbling underneath was crystal clear. They were like sweet poison—delicious but deadly.
And those voices belonged to his mommy, Mia, and his aunt, Ruby.
The moment he was about to take that second step, he froze dead in his tracks and started peeking inside the palace from the entrance like a scared intruder.
Two stunningly beautiful women came out. One had worry mixed with anger written all over her face. The other? She was straight-up blazing with fury, eyes glowing red like hot coals.
Seeing them, Lucifer waited for them to approach. Once they were close, he asked innocently, "Aunt... why are you so angry?"
Ruby's rage-filled reply exploded: **"Because of you, you Motherfucker!"**
Lucifer thought to himself, 'Yeah, I am a motherfucker... I've fucked Mommy so many times. But Aunt Ruby has never called me that before. She could've called me Aunt Fucker... or even Family Fucker. Why just Motherfucker?'
After pondering these completely useless thoughts, Lucifer decided to seek answers for the questions exploding inside him. He asked Ruby, "Aunt, why did you specifically call me Motherfucker? I've fucked you so many times too... so why not Aunt Fucker? And honestly, I've banged almost every female in the Velmora family. Why not just call me Family Fucker?"
After hearing Lucifer's wildly bizarre questions, a tiny smile flickered across Mia's face before vanishing. Ruby, standing beside her, thought, 'What the hell am I supposed to do with this boy? What kind of question is "why only Motherfucker"? Why not Aunt Fucker or Family Fucker?'
'Lucifer, my child, I'm angry at you... actually, both Mia and I are furious. I called you Motherfucker in the heat of the moment... though after getting fucked by you so often, it's become rare for anyone else to satisfy me. But right now, we're both mad at you... Why do you ask such ridiculous questions at a time like this? What am I even supposed to say?'
Ruby composed herself and was about to speak when Lucifer hit her again with those big, innocent puppy eyes and asked sweetly, "Aunt, why are you so angry?"
Ruby wanted to scream **'Because of you, idiot!'** but she controlled herself. Instead of answering his questions, she warned him coldly:
**"Kneel right now or I'll kick your eggs so hard they'll shatter into a million pieces!"**
Hearing Ruby's threat, Lucifer immediately cupped his testicles protectively and stammered in fake panic, "Aun-Aunt, what are you saying?! My balls are way stronger than you think! Your kick won't even scratch them! A-and-and... just imagine... even if you hypothetically destroyed my testicles... then who will fuck you senseless until you're squirting buckets of your sweet love juice? Who will impregnate you, huh?"
"You can't break my eggs, Aunt... Biologically speaking, **you** have the eggs and **I** have the sperms! How can you break my eggs when they don't even exist?!"
This time, Lucifer's dramatic despair act made a fresh little smile appear on Mia's face. Crotivia, standing beside him, burst out laughing loudly. Lucifer himself still had no clue what was happening, but sensing the seriousness, he shielded his crotch with both hands and dropped into a perfect kneeling position.
Ruby's face was a masterpiece of pure exasperation and frustration. She couldn't understand how Lucifer's brain sometimes wandered off to graze grass even in the most serious situations.
Once Lucifer was kneeling and clutching his crotch, Mia and Ruby moved to his left and right sides. They each grabbed one of his ears, twisted them hard in perfect sync, and asked together:
**"Lucifer... you were supposed to come back after the Fertility Ceremony Festival, right? That's the message you sent through Zyrelia to Allen, wasn't it? So why the hell did you return the very next day?! Do you enjoy making big decisions without telling us?!"**
Mia calmed down a bit, but Ruby continued furiously: "Luci, if you're always going to do whatever you want, then why did you even make Sister Mia the Grand-Duchess and Amelia the Duchess? You should've just become the Duke yourself! In the end, you end up making all the decisions anyway!"
Hearing Ruby's words, Lucifer finally understood why both of them were so angry. He looked at Mia and Ruby, gently removed his hands from his crotch, freed his earlobes from their iron grips, stood up, pulled both women toward him, and hugged them tightly against his chest.
Then he said softly, "Mommy... Aunt... I only make decisions on my own when I feel you both won't be able to solve the problem in time."
"Yes, the situation was such that I thought I wouldn't be able to celebrate the Fertility Ceremony Festival with you all... but now I've sent Vance, Mara, and Zyrelia to handle the issue."
At Lucifer's words, Mia's eyes shifted to Crotivia. She asked, "Luci... is this problem you're talking about related to Crotivia?"
"Last night, what exactly did Crotivia tell you that made you so furious?"
Lucifer gave Crotivia a reassuring look and replied to Mia, "Mom and Aunt... did either of you tell anyone that I left here yesterday?"
Mia answered, "No... only Jeff knows. I had a feeling you'd return soon, so I didn't tell anyone else."
As Lucifer heard Mia's confirmation, he let out a huge sigh of relief and said, "Mommy and Aunt, let's go to my room... I'll tell you everything Crotivia told me. And please don't stay angry with me."
After that, Lucifer looked at Crotivia and said, "Go get some proper rest. And before that, tell Allen to come see me in my room."
With those words, Lucifer opened a portal using his void transit magic straight to his penthouse room and went inside with Mia and Ruby. Meanwhile, Crotivia headed into the Ducal Hall from the entrance.
