That night they took Millicas and left for misty manor. With how Millicas didn't find their actions weird, Alex suspected that Venelana might have said goodbye or something to him. Once they arrived Alex and Rias led them both in a tour of the manor.
"All these here are rooms for future occupants, and this is the kitchen and one of the common areas. There's also a library and training area so Millicas can keep up his schooling once we find a tutor." Grayfia nodded, pleased with the manor and that it was so accommodating. She eventually settled on the room next to Yasaka, as they both had children, and those rooms were built with an add on for those with kids, or future kids.
The tour soon came to an end however, when Millicas started yawning as it was way past his usual bedtime, and they walked into the room where Kuroka was at. It was a lounge room that had a tv in it, but that wasn't the problem, it was Kuroka laying around snacking while in her kimono. Except it was very loose, and thanks to her usual carelessness and lack of underwear, various parts of her body were exposed that little kids shouldn't see. Grayfia immediately slapped her hand across Millicas's eyes(without hurting him) and said,
"Rias, would you please take Millicas to his new room, I think I need to have a few words with our "queen"." Rias immediately picked up Millicas and left the room, but she looked reluctant to do so, and miss the show. Kuroka, who didn't seem to hear what Grayfia said, suddenly noticed them and got up as if to go to Alex. Grayfia stood between them however, and said,
"I would like a few words with you Kuroka, if you don't mind." Kuroka looked at Grayfia, and said,
"Oh yay, a new servant right? Don't worry, I'll help you as your senior! Nyan!" Kuroka seemed to notice Grayfia was his new servant, but Alex wasn't sure she noticed the glare in Grayfia's eyes. He intended to stay out of this, as he felt it was going to happen eventually, plus it seemed as if it would be entertaining. As he thought, Grayfia suddenly vanished, and reappeared next to Kuroka, and pinched one of her cat ears, before saying,
"Do you not think that this kind of behavior, lounging around exposed as if an exhibitionist, makes our "king" look bad? Plus there are several other people that live here as well as a couple children. When more arrive here in the future do you plan to still act like this?" Kuroka was wincing at the pain in her ear and said,
"That's quite the authority a servant seems to think she has, or is that maid outfit just for show? Nya. Tell her Alex!" The man in question was simply looking up at the chandelier in the room, as if he suddenly found it interesting. Grayfia started dragging her away by her ear, and Kuroka just looked as if he betrayed her. Alex then returned to his own room, where Rias joined him after leaving Millicas.
***
The next morning found Alex sitting in the kitchen having breakfast with the rest of the current residents of the manor, Rias, Akeno, Ravel, Le Fay, Serafall, and soon Yasaka and Kunou joined them. The rest were staying at the dorms for the time being, as it was more familiar to walk to school from there than travel from Asora. They were chatting about their plans for the day, college for Rias and Akeno, high school for Ravel and Le fay who was a first year, and middle school for Kunou while Yasaka and Serafall had work. Soon Kuroka appeared as well, but looked dead tired, and seemed to be walking funny. She laid herself over Alex's lap, and said,
"That mean maid spent all night lecturing me, then she spanked me! Tell me she's not staying Alex! Nyan!" Alex wanted to laugh at her predicament, and asked,
"Did she really spank you?" Kuroka nodded with teary eyes, and disregarding the rest who were eating, she pulled up her kimono and displayed her cherry red ass for them. Alex admired her ass for a while, for various reasons, and noticed marking that looked like a magic circle, meaning that Grayfia most likely used magic power to spank her. Kuroka once more disregarded the rest, and said with mischief in her eyes,
"Maybe you should rub it so it feels better. Nya." Alex smiled with mischief in his eyes as well, and started rubbing her ass, Kuroka then hummed in pleasure, before she started purring. The rest were getting annoyed with the display, until they noticed Alex had an evil smile. Kuroka then felt his hand leave and started to get disappointed, before suddenly,
SMACK
"NYAN!!!!!!"
Alex smacked her ass, adding to the redness. She rolled off his lap and started rubbing it herself, while glaring at him slightly with her teary eyes. At that moment Grayfia arrived with Millicas. She took one look at the current situation, and said,
"Did she mention how the reason the spanking began was because the phrase "gray haired granny" was used?" Alex and everyone else looked at Kuroka in amazement, and she slinked off before she became more embarrassed, though Alex was sure he heard her swearing revenge. Alex then said,
"Changing the subject, Millicas, have you met Kunou before?" At his words the small fox girl was gently pushed forward by her mother. Millicas reached his hand out and said,
"Hi, I'm Millicas Gremory, a devil. It's nice to meet you." Kunou looked shy at first, but slowly reached out her hand and said,
"I'm Kunou, a kitsune." Since she didn't offer anymore to say, Millicas asked,
"Do you want to play later? I'm new here so I don't know what there is to do." Alex smiled at him, even though Millicas was a prodigy at learning and magic, he was still a kid at heart. After their breakfast the two took off to play, and the girls went their separate ways for the day. Alex stayed with Grayfia, and discussed plans for the Azazel cup, and the disguise and alias she would use. It was less than a week until the cup began.
