"Ah, Sirzechs, Rias, Sara. We are waiting for you." Said Zeoticus Gremory, the current Lord of House Gremory.
Zeoticus has the appearance of a middle-aged, handsome looking man with long crimson red hair that is tied in a loose ponytail with a black hairband. He has bright blue eyes just like his two children, Sirzechs and Rias Gremory. He also has a short and red beard or stubble. He wore a royal white suit with gold edges and a black shirt inside.
"Don't make them feel bad, dear," said Venelana Gremory, jerking her husband. She is the Lady of House Gremory but was born in the Bael family and is the sister of current Lord Bael.
Venelana looks very much like her Rias with shorter flaxen hair and violet eyes much like the natural-born members of the Bael Clan. She appears around the same age as her son, Sirzechs, as in her early to mid-twenties.
Similar to her husband, she also wore a white dress but has 2 necklaces, one has 3 rubies in it while the is a star-shaped necklace with a long string.
"Mother, Father. It's been so long." Said Rias and hugged them. They returned it as any parent does.
"It's good to see you home, dear." Said Venelana and they sat for dinner.
"How are the arrangements for the announcement going?" Asked Zeoticus.
"They are going well, father. I informed Lord-Zekram about this and he agreed that this was the right time." Said Sirzechs.
"Are you sure, Zechs? This is a big thing after all." Asked Venelana.
"I think it's been kept a secret for more than necessary time, mother. I know Grayfia doesn't feel much about it, but I don't want to keep her freedom away from her anymore." Replied Sara in place of Sirzechs.
She also calls Venelana and Zeoticus mother and father because she is with them for more time than she had spent with her parents.
"I suppose that is true. What do you feel, Grayfia?" Asked Venelana? Grayfia always has this strict and disciplinary demeanour, it is difficult to understand her sometimes.
"I'm happy to serve House Gremory, my Lady. You took me in when I didn't have anybody." Replied Grayfia in a neutral tone.
As she is on duty, she talks neutrally. If she is off duty, she will be more relaxed to talk to.
"Oh, dear. Even after all these years, you still speak as if you don't belong here, fia-chan." Said Venelana with a teasing smile. Grayfia didn't reply but continued serving.
"We'll see how she feels after the announcement, mother." Said Sara. Sara knew all of Grayfia's problems because of the label as the strongest Queen. She should always meet the expectations of others, which Sara wanted her best friend to be released from.
"Naruto is coming to the announcement as well." Said Sirzechs looking for any reaction from Rias and Grayfia.
"Damn. I should prepare myself. Nii-sama, we are going start training from tomorrow." Said Rias with determination. Venelana raised an eyebrow at the sudden determination in Rias. But stayed quiet.
Grayfia didn't reply, but Sirzechs saw a small jerk in her posture which she instantly corrected. Sirzechs smiled happily. 'At last, someone made her react.' Thought Sirzechs.
He also knows the burden his position puts on her. He wanted to announce this sooner, but they didn't get any chance to do it. But they got the perfect chance now and he is not going to leave it.
"Naruto? Is he that Hybrid?" Asked Zeoticus curiously.
"Yes, father. I told Ajuka to invite him as well, as Jiraiya-sama will be here." Said Sirzechs.
"He is an interesting choice to be chosen for the experiment, Zechs." Said Venelana.
"Yes, mother. He is strong as well. Ajuka found a diamond in the rough." Said Sirzechs. This piques his parent's interest.
Sirzechs doesn't call anyone strong unless they are at least Ultimate Class. So him calling Naruto strong made their minds run fast.
"Care to share his secret?" Asked Zeoticus with a friendly smile. When he saw a request for a transfer student, he considered Naruto to be a normal human.
But his transfer into Kuoh gave him a once in a millennia opportunity and the blonde showed his sharp mind there. He asked to be Kuoh's overseer in return to participate in the experiment and Ajuka didn't have any choice but to agree.
When this was informed to him, he was furious. How can someone become an overseer of his territory without his prior approval? But Ajuka explained everything and he had to agree at the end.
As everything is for Jiraiya-sama. He loves the man and his literature. He is tied for second place with Lord Sitri in the unofficial collection contest held among the current Lords of every pillar house.
