Chapter 17:

– Valerie –

A couple seconds after introducing herself, I felt a pulse of magic ripple from Grayfia. Suddenly, every single person in the club who was staring at us decided they had something more important to do. It was hypnosis, but on a much larger scale than I had pulled off earlier.

"My king likes her privacy," Grayfia said, glancing back at me as she gestured toward the booth.

I followed her gaze and stopped short. The woman sitting there was breathtaking. Her crimson hair seemed to shimmer even in the dim lighting, and her entire presence was almost suffocating in how powerful it felt. My instincts screamed that she was on the same level as Alucard—maybe even higher. It was impossible not to feel a little intimidated.

Grayfia stepped to the side and motioned for me to sit. I slid into the seat next to the red-haired devil, trying to maintain some semblance of calm. She turned toward me with a warm smile that made me feel both comfortable and wary at the same time.

"It's nice to meet you, Valerie Tepes," she said. "My name is Sylvana Lucifer. I am one of the current Maous of the Underworld."

I smiled back, even though I could feel the weight of her words. "It's nice to meet you as well. One of the rulers of the Devils? What did I do to get a visit from someone so high up? Is this about Regis Phenex?" I asked, a little cautiously. Ravel had promised me I wouldn't face any trouble for taking that guy out, but I wasn't sure if everyone in the Underworld agreed.

Sylvana shook her head slightly. "It is and it isn't. While there may be a few devils upset that a male pureblood was slain by a half-vampire, no one would actually raise a fuss after hearing who your father is. No one wants to risk someone like him coming after them."

"He must be pretty scary, huh?" I chuckled, trying to lighten the mood.

Sylvana chuckled softly in return. "Do you truly know what your father is capable of?"

I hesitated for a moment before admitting the truth. "Not really. I don't think I've seen what the peak of power looks like in this world, but I'm pretty sure my dad is the king of monsters."

Her smile grew, like she appreciated my honesty. "I don't mind giving you some perspective," she said. "Devils have a ranking system when it comes to classes and power. While it's true that all pureblood nobles are granted the rank of high class by birth, very few actually achieve that rank properly." She let out a small sigh, as if that fact annoyed her. "A High Class devil is someone who can destroy a small-scale city on their own, usually within an hour."

I nodded slowly, letting the information sink in. Destroying a city in an hour? I wasn't even close to being able to pull off something like that. "So, I guess I don't count as High Class to the rest of the world," I said with a shrug.

"I'm sure you'll reach that level soon," Sylvana said sincerely. "Above High Class is Ultimate Class. At this level, a single being is capable of single handedly causing significant damage to a large city or small country in only a couple of hours. There are very few beings of this level in the entire world despite what many factions might claim. I myself would be considered at that peak of this class, as would your father," she explained to me and I felt a tiny shudder down my spine.

Alucard could single handedly bring down London in only a few hours? I honestly had trouble seeing how he was capable of that, he must have been hiding a lot more of his power than I'd ever seen him use at once. It was also crazy that multiple beings like this inhabited the world.

"Among the Christian Pantheon, only the four Maou, the leader of the Fallen Angels, and the two Archangels Michael and Gabriel can technically be considered Ultimate Class." Sylvana explained to me.

I nodded and thanked Sylvana for explaining that to me. I was a bit surprised to hear that the Devils had more Ultimate Class beings than literal Heaven. If I was being honest, it was a tiny bit disturbing actually.

Grayfia placed two glasses of alcohol on the table in front of me and Sylvana. She stood off to the side as we talked.

I swirled the glass in my hand, trying to process everything Sylvana had just told me. It was interesting. "So," I said, setting the glass down, "are you going to tell me why you tracked me down to some random club in London at two in the morning?"

"Oh, yes, that," Sylvana said. She looked—for a moment—almost embarrassed. "My apologies if my sudden appearance startled you.

"Only a little bit," I admitted. As I spoke, my eyes darted to the darker corners of the club. My father had to be somewhere nearby. I doubted he'd really ditched me when two powerful Devils had shown up out of nowhere. Hopefully…

Sylvana reached across the table and placed her hand over mine. Her touch was warm, and I felt a blush creeping onto my cheeks. "I'm here to ask you for your favor," she said.

"My favor?" I didn't pull my hand away, but I stayed cautious.

She nodded. "It's about my little sister, Rias. She's engaged to an insufferable man in the Underworld. I've been searching for ways to break the engagement for years, and I think I've finally found one."

"What does this have to do with me?" I asked.

Sylvana smiled. "The man she's engaged to is Riser Phenex. I believe you're familiar with the Phenex family?"

"You want me to use my favor from Ravel to break the engagement," I said, putting it all together.

"Exactly," Sylvana said teasingly. "You're really smart. I like that…"

I leaned back in my chair, finally pulling my hand free from hers. "And what's in it for me?" I asked with a grin. I wasn't going to hand over such a big favor easily…

Sylvana chuckled at my grin. "I would be more than happy to pay you back however you want." She winked at me. "I saw the way you looked at me and my queen, Grayfia. Maybe you'd like to spend a night in bed with both of us, giving you our complete and undivided attentions."

Grayfia's composure cracked. She flushed slightly and shot Sylvana a glare. "Really, my king…?"

The mental image made me blush fiercely, but I shook my head. I wasn't about to waste such a big favor on a single night, no matter how tempting the offer. "That's... tempting, but I'll have to pass," I said.

Sylvana pouted and tapped her chin. "I could maybe offer you a Sacred Gear in return," she said.

"What's a Sacred Gear?" I asked.

Sylvana straightened in her seat. "Ah, I suppose they are a closely guarded secret after what happened. Sacred Gears are objects of power that the Biblical God created. He fused them with the souls of humans or half-humans with the potential to achieve great things."

I frowned. Fused to the soul? That sounded very familiar. "Why haven't I heard of these before?"

"Other supernatural races grew jealous of humanity for being gifted such power," Sylvana said. "A few decades ago, everything came to a head when one of the Dragon Emperors killed a low-ranked god. That sparked a campaign where anyone with a Sacred Gear was hunted down and exterminated. Back then, it wasn't hard to sense people who had them."

My pulse quickened. I thought about my three Holy Grails and now knew where they came from. "...Back then?" I asked hesitantly. "So not anymore?"

Sylvana nodded. "After all the death, Michael and Azazel worked together to modify the Biblical God's System. Now, Sacred Gears are undetectable unless actively used. Anyone with a powerful Sacred Gear lives in hiding."

I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I'd been careful with the Grails, but this confirmed I needed to be even more cautious until I got stronger to protect myself. I'd have to tell everyone at the mansion to keep their mouths shut—not that they didn't already.

"If owning a Sacred Gear is that dangerous, then I'll also have to pass," I said, not mentioning or hinting that I already had one.

Sylvana nodded in understanding. "Fair enough. I'll have think of something else then. Just know that whatever you ask for in return, I'll make it worth your while," she said with a wicked wink. "...In fact, why don't I prove that I mean it?" she asked with a glint in her eyes.

She then turned her head to Grayfia who was standing next to our table. Grayfia and Sylvana stared at each other for a few seconds before Grayfia sighed.

"Fine…" Grayfia movedand sat in the booth, on my side.

Grayfia slid into the booth until she was sitting so close to me that we were practically touching. I blushed at the sudden contact and was about to ask Sylvana across the table what was going on when I heard Grayfia speak again in her soft voice.

"With your permission, my lady..." she said. I turned my head and quickly found Grayfia's flawless face right in front of mine. Her very soft lips were suddenly kissing me!

I felt my heart skip a beat in surprise. Grayfia was a very talented kisser… or maybe I was just very inexperienced because she was quickly dominating the kiss. Her tongue slipped into my mouth easily. I let out a small moan into her mouth.

Sylvana giggled from across the table as she watched all this with a grin. "Don't stop now you two," she said with a small moan. I noticed that her hand was now below the table as her arm started to move up and down. I could only imagine what she was doing down there...

As Grayfia and I continued making out, I felt her hand start rubbing up and down my jean-clad thigh. Her other hand was slowly rubbing up and down my back. A shiver ripped through me. I let out another moan into the kiss.

Grayfia broke the kiss and pulled her head back a bit. She was looking flustered too, with her cheeks now rosily tinted. "Would you like to continue, my lady?" the beautiful maid asked me.

I glanced over at Sylvana who just winked at me, her arm still moving under the table. I could hear a wet sound coming from her side as she was obviously fingering herself watching us.

This was all going very fast. Did I want to continue? I would have liked to say I thought about it more, but honestly this situation was hot as fuck.

"Yes please keep going..." I heard myself say breathily.

Grayfia smiled a tiny bit before leaning back in and kissing me again. This time the kiss was slower but no less passionate.

"Oh yes, that's it..." Sylvana murmured at us, biting her lip. I could tell she was really into it too.

Grayfia's hand settled over my chest next as we made out. She started to firmly grope my breasts. Her other hand also moved itself from my upper thigh to between my legs. She started slowly moving her hand up and down between them. My breath hitched as I started feeling it. Grayfia was very skilled with her hands and her kissing technique was amazing.

I felt my breath hitch again as Grayfia started to move her hand faster between my thighs. At the same time, Grayfia's lips wrapped themselves around my tongue as she started to gently suck on it. My whole body was shuddering in my seat as Grayfia played with me. Grayfia's hand moved quickly up and down over my core while her other hand fondled my breasts and massaged my nipples.

"That's it Valerie," Sylvana gasped from the other side of the table. "Just let yourself go and cum!" She wasn't even hiding the fact she was masturbating anymore as she leaned back and started moaning.

I had some tears of pleasure in my eyes. My vision was blurry but I could still see Grayfia's pretty eyes smirking at me as she continued to gently suck on my tongue.

…And then Grayfia moved her hand and blatantly shoved it down my pants. My eyes widened as Grayfia started directly moving her fingers over my bare pussy lips. Her thumb started rubbing circles over my clit while two of her fingers pushed into my core slightly and gently rubbed my inner folds.

Grayfia broke the kiss and smirked at me. "I wasn't expecting the daughter of Dracula to still be a virgin." Her fingers went a bit deeper and brushed against my barrier before pulling back. "Are you saving yourself for someone special?"

My face was hot and I knew I was furiously blushing. I wasn't particularly saving myself, I just barely had any experience…

"Oh fuck! That's so hot!" Sylvana gasped while watching us.

I clenched my thighs together tightly around Grayfia's hand. Grayfia was lustfully staring at me as she slowly fingered me, but not too deep. "Cum for me, Lady Valerie."

My entire body started to spasm. "Oh my God!" I threw my head back and let out a loud moan. I could feel my legs twitch as my pussy clenched down around Grayfia's fingers.

"Fuck yes!" At the same time, across the table Sylvana let out a loud gasp as her entire face turned red and she started trembling as well from her own orgasm.

I was twitching as I came down from my high. Grayfia was placing some kisses on my cheek and jaw, telling me that I was a "good girl". That only made me more flustered and embarrassed since that's the same thing Narcissa called me in the shower…

What was with all these beautiful older women taking advantage of me? Oh wait… I apparently really enjoyed it.

"That was nice, wasn't it?" Sylvana said with a sigh as she started patting her sweaty face with a napkin, like she hadn't just shamelessly touched herself while Grayfia was...doing all that to me.

I let out a whine as Grayfia pulled her hand out of my pants. They were glistening and dripping wet. To my shock, Sylvana reached over the table and grabbed them before leaning in and sticking them in her mouth. She fluttered her eyes at me while lustfully licking Grayfia's finger clean.

When she was finished, Sylvana gave Grayfia her hand back before licking her lips. "Consider that… a little incentive to hang onto that favor until I find something to pay you properly with," she said to me as I caught my breath and straightened out my clothes. I quickly glanced around the club and signed in relief that all the humans were still hypnotized and hadn't seen any of what happened in this booth.

"My spell also disrupts the security cameras so you don't have to worry, Lady Valerie," Grayfia told me.

I finally caught my breath though I was sure I was still blushing. "...I have no problem holding onto the favor for a while."

Both Sylvana and Grayfia smiled happily after hearing that. "Thank you," Sylvana said before handing me a slip of paper. It was the summoning flier for her and her Queen. "You can use that to contact us, and don't worry, if I can't find anything in a few weeks, I can send Grayfia again to give you another incentive to hang onto that favor longer… I might even join in." Sylvana said to me.

"S–Sure," I replied with a small stutter. And with that, Sylvana and Grayfia both vanished from next to me. Teleporting away from the club.

I let out a sigh when I was finally alone. Then I quickly snatched a napkin off the table and started wiping off the seat where I was sitting before standing up and leaving the club. I wanted to be out of their before Grayfia's mass hypnotism wore off.

"…Well now, that was interesting!" Alucard said right next to me, back on the dark empty streets.

I let out a yelp and jumped. "Where have you been!? W–Wait… you weren't watching all that were you?"

Alucard scoffed. "Hardly! I left when the two Devils started blatantly manipulating you with their charm…"

"They weren't manipulating me!" I replied defensively but he simply cocked an eyebrow at me underneath his yellow sunglasses. "...Ok, yes they probably were, but all they wanted was that favor I got from the little Phenex girl."

Alucard chuckled knowingly. "That woman Sylvana Gremory–or is it Lucifer now–wouldn't just visit you herself over a simple favor. Not unless she was truly desperate. She'll probably do anything for that favor. Make sure you properly know the value of what you have, daughter…"

I nodded at him. When I thought about his words, they made a lot of sense. Sylvana's sister must be completely screwed if someone as powerful as her can't get her little sister out of something as simple as an arranged marriage. Maybe a magical contract was in play? Rowena had told me about those and warned me against ever signing one or taking a magical vow of any kind. The consequences of violating them were pretty much always death, or a fate where you wished for death at the very least.

I huffed. "...If you don't have anything else to teach me tonight, I'll be heading home now," I told Alucard.

Instead of calling a driver, I decided to fly home and burn off some extra energy. I willed myself to turn into a swarm of bats and started flying across London back to the Hellsing mansion.
