Grayfia was Venalana's Queen and also became her personal maid/secretary. She took her job very seriously and she would be in her work mode 24/7.
But it seems Venelana didn't like that as Grayfia got spanked, Grayfia felt very embarrassed when she a grown woman was punished like a little child.
But this also instilled in her the fear and majesty of an 'older sister', although it took some time she got used to being informal with Venelana when they were alone or when she was not in her work mode.
One thing that was common with Venelana's servant was that she too hated Zeoticus on the first meeting.
Grayfia hated the way Zeoticus's slimy gaze roamed her body, she honestly would have driven an Ice spike down his throat if not for some considerations.
She still beat him up when he outright demanded her to accompany him to bed like she was some common whore he could command.
She was Grayfia Lucifuge, the strongest Queen in the underworld.
Her strength was not for show and although she was in Venelana's peerage it didn't mean her weakling of a husband could command her.
Although she couldn't do anything drastic against him, she still noted this insult to her dignity and pride.
She would take care of him when the opportunity arises especially since her Lady hates this trash's slimy guts.
Death would be a release, Grayfia wasn't a sadistic woman but she had her bottom line and Insulting her and her Master while being a worthless shit is not something that she would let slide.
Devils were a very long-lived race and she had all the time in the world for her 'opportunity'.
Grayfia became even more of a fangirl the more time she spent time with Venelana as her 'Onee-sama' was just that good.
Venelana had a knack for taking advantage of the right opportunities.
She was one of the most well-connected individuals in the underworld with her business empire being quite a huge one and it was even more vast than the common public knew.
The only people who knew about it were Serafall, Ajuka and Sirzechs who wouldn't be stupid enough to not keep this a secret as Venelana was one of their biggest supporters.....
...
Although Sirzechs felt a bit bad about not letting his father know about it he wanted his mother to help the Gremory family out with her connections, or merge her business with the Gremory family's thereby creating a new branch and improving the Gremory family wealth and connections.
But he knew not to antagonise his mother too much because their relationship became a bit tense when he stopped listening to some of her suggestions instead he opted to listen to his father more and help him out in many things.
He did it because naturally although his mother hated his father's guts, Sirzechs still wished his mother and father would get along.
So he believed that helping his father out and letting his influence grow would make him much more capable.
Maybe that way his mother might be more inclined to get back with his father, and helping his father meant he was helping the Great King Faction and it would create a sort of balance and avoid dissatisfaction.
Sirzechs wanted everything to be stable, and he at that time didn't have any major conflicts with his grandfather and didn't wish to antagonise a High-Satan Class devil like Zekram who was one of the most influential devils in the underworld.
But this would be a decision he would come to regret as Zekram Bael was someone Sirzechs had come to dislike very much over the years.
Due to one decision which he didn't even consider that major his relationship with his mother became tense and he honestly felt that she became a little indifferent towards her 'son'.
He was a bit annoyed that his mother seemed to care more about her adopted daughter than her own son.
Especially since he also had a slight dislike towards Mirellia Belphagor, since he believed due to her existence his relationship with his mother became much more complicated.
He was also hit hard emotionally and was a bit hurt when Grayfia refused to be his Queen and instead became his mother's Queen.
But it still gave him hope as Grayfia was his mother's Queen so he should have a slight advantage since his mother should slightly support him thus Grayfia should have a good impression of him.
And if he persisted for years then she should be moved by his sincerity right?
Sirzechs was once again hit hard when he got rejected hard and was told that, the person he loved never had any sliver of affection for him and would never have.
She only sees him as her King's son, nothing more nothing less.
That was a hard pill to swallow for him at that time because Sirzechs Lucifer was a very prideful man at heart. He may not show it outwardly but he does have a lot of pride.
He couldn't accept for a while that he was rejected so thoroughly without any chance of recovery.
But he did move on and after years of feeling that he would remain single forever he met Cleria whom he went on to marry despite a lot of opposition.
After his marriage with Cleria his relationship with his mother became better as Clerai became the bridge between them to mend their relationship....
