Chapter 137 - Side Story, The Fallen Maid Trio Part 1
On a seemingly unremarkable day, Ray just woke up from a good nap in the evening and found the mansion to be empty. Almost empty. After he spread his sense to scour each corner of his mansion.
Through his senses, he found Grayfia to be absent. Probably brought along by his wives and daughters for whatever outing they planned without him.
While he sensed the presence of the Fallen Maid Trio, he didn't know what they were up to since that would require him to expend an extra effort of using his Eldritch power to deploy his eyes through the shadow.
For whatever reason, he felt lazy to do that. Yet diligent enough to take a walk over to the garden where the trio is tending to the flowers and other plants.
In the garden.
"Haah… as much as I hate to admit, it feels nice to live a life without need to worry about anything else but my work. We even got three meals a day and a permanent roof over our heads." Mittelt said while trimming the bush into her desired shape as if sculpting a sculpture.
"I do agree. Better living a life where we don't have to worry about tomorrow every time we go to bed." Kalawarna reluctantly nodded her head in agreement while adding scoops of fertilizers for a few trees and flowers that were needed.
As for Raynare, she was silent without sign of wanting to participate in the conversation, looking dazed and immersed in her own thoughts as she feeds the definitely not normal, glowing and had crystal-like scale, ornamental fishes in the pond at the center of the garden surrounding the floating pavilion above the pond and surrounded by beautiful scenery filled with gorgeous flowers and shielded with shades by otherworldly trees.
"Raynare?" Mittelt paused her work and turned to look at Raynare who was dazed.
"Huh? What?" Raynare knocked out of her daze and noticed she almost over fed the fishes before she quickly stopped tossing fore fish feeds into the pond.
"What are you dazing about over there?" Mittelt shot Raynare a suspicious stare and gave an expression that demanded an answer out of curiosity.
"Well… the usual." Raynare unexpectedly blushed and faked a cough before putting away the container holding the fish feed away in a small tool shed at the corner of the garden.
If it was before, none of the two will ever believe Raynare could truly blush or even display genuine emotions aside from her sadistic display when torturing her victims. But ever since their eternal indenture into service as maids at this mansion, Raynare and themselves had changed. Raynare especially, changed for the better personality wise considering their life literally at the stake for their good conduct and attitude.
After being a maid for nearly half a year, they basically reformed into a better person. All three had suppressed their evil and sadistic nature and were replaced with submissive and servitude as demanded by their occupation. They learned to restrain themselves from following their vices under Sakuya's strict tutelage and guidance and be a better person in general.
"Oh, right. They are at it again." Mittelt sighs as does Kalawarna.
For the past few days, their Master and Mistresses had been regularly doing the deed at night. Almost every night for the past month. It's a pain in the ass to clean up the aftermath. From cleaning multiple large and hard to wash bed sheets, fixing broken beds to cleaning up the cum stained or cum flooded room every single day.
Even if the trio is part of the supernatural races, they still feel their body hurt and exhausted from their job. A far cry from what they imagined the romanticized occupation that is a maid. They heard stories from the devils especially, that maids serve their master on a daily basis, satisfying his every need, even carnal needs, almost like a mix of housewife and mistress kind of stuff. Not this hard labor job because aside from cleaning the aftermath of their master's sexual activities, they still have the whole mansion to deal with. They have to prepare breakfast, which thankfully Sakuya normally helped, then clean each and every last inch of the mansion on a daily basis by sweeping, mopping and wiping everything last inch of the mansion, doing laundry for everyone in the mansion and many more.
What infuriates them the most is when Grayfia who share status like them, are actually monopolizing their dreamt task of tending to their Master personally and even share beds a few times already. The last time being a cuckold play where Grayfia sent Sirzech the whole 9 hours 16 minutes and 37 seconds long sex tape of her being bred so brutally the bed breaks into four parts and Grayfia went out of commission for 5 days to recover because she couldn't stand straight to perform her duty. On the bright side, she isn't resentful enough to involve Millicas in her complicated relationship and left her son blissfully unaware of everything with a facade of her usual loving mother.
How did they know? Because the trio is the one fixing the shattered bed that was basically in pieces with dark faces in the morning only for it to break the following night when it's Baobhan Sith's turn. It's always the masochists that break the bed because Ray tends to get more violent and brutal.
They could only wish it was them.
The point is, because they fell off his graces early on and were only spared by Ray. The trio was always ignored by Ray. Much less making their advances. Compared to Grayfia who entered in his good grace. She gets treated well and basically his mistress by now.
Being reminded of their eternal penal servitudes, make the trio sighed collectively and frustrated. They are forever stuck in their position as lowly maids that's basically on a tightrope. A light mistake can make their head roll in the best case scenario or whatever horror their Master had in store for them in the worst case scenario. Consider what he usually did to living captive, they rather not take any chances and be turned into living puppets devoid of freedom and control of their body and actions.
"Haah… let's get this done quickly and pick up the dried laundry before the sky turns dark." Raynare sighed and helped Kalawarna and Mittelt finish up their work quickly.
"Yeah. Help me trim the tall part of the bush." Mittelt gave the gardening scissor to Raynare before taking a rake to quickly sweep the trimmed branches and leaves. Kalawarna silently finished her task and washed the small shovel before storing it away in the shed after drying it with magic.

Meanwhile, in the semi open walkway in the garden connecting the recreational area and the main hallway of the mansion, Ray listened to the conversation between the trio.
What shocked him isn't the fact the reformed trio wish to be his bed warmer or mistresses. But Grayfia actually sent her sex tape with him to Sirzech.
He actually knew, there's Grayfia's frustration playing some part in this, the inability of Sirzech to protect her and lead to her having to serve another man against her wish. Initially that is. She now serves him willingly and eagerly too.
A little too eager when Grayfia beg him to fuck her until she break. Then, who is he to deny such a scrumptious offer on a silver platter? He basically bred her non-stop for over nine hours, all holes loaded till her leg turned useless from orgasming and convulsing too much. He even pumps a kid inside her which seems to tone down her horniness and draw out her maternal instinct to nurture the child inside her instead of constantly being on heat like a bunny during the mating season which is both a relief and worry in its own way.
"Ah! Master!" A frightened voice shouted which caused Ray to look at the offending person to see Raynare who shouted and the rest of the trio entering the walkway only to see a black cat inside.
Raynare immediately lowered her head to hide her face burning in embarrassment while also fearful as she bowed down a little too low then what she usually did.
"I apologize! I didn't mean to talk behind your back, Master! It was… Mittelt! She is the one that brought it up!" Raynare immediately throws Mittelt under the bus before dropping on the floor prostrating followed by the other two who are similarly afraid Ray would get angry from them badmouthing him behind his back. Especially Mittelt because she remembers swearing at Ray with profanity for increasing their workload so much with his unbridled libido.
At first, Ray didn't really mind them talking behind his back. Like, should he even consider talking about his incredible libido even as something negative? Sounds like an unintentional flex to him. But after seeing them three prostrating themselves so submissively and fearfully on the floor like that, dark thoughts bloomed in his mind as his sadistic urges seemed to awaken.
Ray didn't give them an answer for the apology. Instead, he transformed into his humanoid form and smirked ominously as he snapped his finger and teleported the trio along with him to a familiar location.
"Follow me." Ray ordered before he started walking towards a large and heavy steel door with only a handle to hold and pull to open the door.
Raynare immediately lifted her head up and saw Ray walking away before she quickly glanced worriedly at Kalawarna and the obviously angry Mittelt. Neither of the three dared to keep Ray waiting as they hurried to stand up and keep a pace with him.
"Get inside." Ray ordered as the heavy steel door opened on its own to reveal a dark and wide room with only a singular candle on a stand placed in the middle of the room and left most of the room dark and unlit.
With a trace of hesitation that they quickly suppressed, Raynare entered the room followed by Kalawarna and Mittelt before the door forcefully slammed shut, giving the trio a fright as they turned around and saw Ray already vanished from behind them and reappeared on another side of the room, seemingly selecting the 'tools' on display with meticulous expression.
If the trio isn't already afraid. They definitely are now. They remember a long while ago when they cleaned up this very dungeon after a 'session' where Ray had 'fun' with several captured angels.
After a while, Ray finished selecting his tools and turned around to address the trio.
"So, you three are aware why you all are here for right?" He asked with the ominous smirk still plastered on his face.
"Be-Because we talked behind your back and we… We will be punished?" The trio answered in unison.
"Correct." Ray clapped for the after they managed to give the correct answer. But only he shares the enthusiasm while the other three are already shivering in fear.
Seeing their state, he frowned a little before he realized that they might have misunderstood his intentions.
Well, he is just in the mood for some Master and Maids bondage play or something along the line. Nothing extreme like breaking the mind and body type of play. After all, he is a reasonable person and would uphold his words that he promised. Since the trio had changed for the better and were diligent at work, he wouldn't kill them off. Besides, aren't Fallen Angels known for their love for Bondage and BDSM in general? Like within the Fallen Angel faction. Everyone is either a sadist or masochist. There's no in between.
As he thought of explaining that to the trio, a sudden epiphany that if he simply didn't explain and proceed as is, wouldn't they display much extreme reactions? Thinking that they might truly be killed off for their slight. With that thought in mind, his grin grew wider as his eyes landed on the trio who immediately twitched in response.
"So… who was it that started it? The lowly maid that dares behind the back of her Master's back, hmn?"
Mittelt immediately takes a few steps back unconsciously while looking at Kalawarna and Raynare for help. But both turned their heads away as Ray laid his eyes straight at her own.
"Would you look at that? The culprit reveals herself." He approaches Mittelt with a steady pace while Mittelt tried to retreat back in fear, desperation and betrayal. Only to find her legs turn weak and wobbly before she fell to her butt while still trying to crawl back but not fast enough to outrun him.
When he stood looming over her, he bent down his body and reached a hand for Mittelt while she closed her eyes shut. Not daring to watch what might come next. Her breath was fast, basically hyperventilating as her heart beat was so loud, it was audible and echoing inside the silent dungeon room.
"Fueh?" Mittelt voiced her confusion when instead of the expected pains, she only felt a hand reaching out for her chin and lifting it up.
Still afraid but ever more curious, she opened her eyes to see no horror beyond her mortal understanding. But just Ray staring at her amusedly.
"So, I heard that you were envious of Grayfia?" He asked while maintaining eye contact with Mittelt as he licked his lips like he was eyeing a particularly juicy meat. "Dissatisfied that I wouldn't give my attention and love to you and the other two?"
"Huh?" Mittelt became even more confused that instead of the punishment that she was expecting, she was asked this question instead.
Raynare and Kalawarna on the sidelines also look surprised by the change of events. Especially Raynare who immediately realized what was happening and wished she didn't sell out Mittelt so she could be on the receiving end of this life changing opportunity!
It took Mittelt a moment to process and realize what was happening. Not wanting to look at the gift horse in the mouth, Mittelt immediately gained a surge of confidence as opposed to her previous fear.
"Yes!" Mittelt answered a little too eagerly while catching a glance of Raynare gnashing her teeth with envy on the side but she wouldn't spare her much attention as her eyes glued to Ray, her Master.
The mannerisms of Mittelt immediately changed like a flip of a switch, a moment before she was shivering in fear and recoiled from his mere gaze. But now, she becomes obedient and coquettish under his touch like a kitten, eager for more attention and affection.
"Good. Good. I like an obedient girl." Ray spared Mittelt a few more moments to give her the attention and touches she craves before retracting his hand which left her craving for more like an addict wanting for more.
"Master?" She lifted her head up warily and confused why Ray would pull his hand back only to see something appeared in his hands.
A collar and a leash with a small bell and a tag engraved with her name, visible even in the barely lit room as it shines by the glint of the candle light.
Without even needing to be told, Mittelt knew what to do. The illusory promise of affection and care, even as a mere pet to him, felt irresistible compared to her current one.
Eagerly she crawled on both hands and legs closer to him, she extended her neck for him as she gazed at his widening smirk, a verification that her actions and decision was correct.
"Do you crave it that much, Mittelt? To be little more than a pet?" He asked, teasing her with the collar dangling from one hand while the other gently caressed her cheek, his touch so soft it felt like a cruel illusion of comfort.
The old Mittelt would definitely be infuriated by the mere thought of degrading herself much less as a pet. As a proud Fallen Angel, the thought of such submission would have been unthinkable.
But now? Deprived of love, affection, and the indulgence she once knew, Mittelt found herself willing to accept much worse for the promise of even a sliver of comfort. The collar swaying before her eyes was more than a symbol of submission. It carried promises of love, protection, and most of all, power. If he granted her even a fraction of the strength he gave his daughters so easily, she would no longer be just Mittelt the Low Class Fallen Angel. No, she would rise above them all, wielding new power, standing under his protection. To be untouchable even by the strongest. The true freedom none could offer for her loyalty.
The collar dangling before her wasn't just a symbol of ownership. It carried promises of love, affection and more than anything, power. The kind of power she could never have reached on her own. A glimpse at the chance to escape the abyss of the Low Class Fallen Angels and rise beyond her predetermined limits.
Did she want it? Without a doubt she is!
She would fight tooth and nail, bleed for the chance to wear that collar which is not as a mark of submission, but as a crown that symbolizes her future. Her hard earned prize for the suffering she endured. For it, she wouldn't even need to think twice to forsake everything, her past, her friendship with Raynare and Kalawarna, everything.
"Crave? Yes. I crave Master's love! Please make me your pet!" Mittelt shed all her resistance and laid herself bare before him as Ray fastened the collar on her neck.
Without a need of words, the grin on Ray's face tells how much he enjoys savoring the satisfaction of Mittelt's mental transformation and emotions.
On the sideline, Raynare and Kalawarna had mixed feelings regarding what happened to Mittelt.
On one hand, it shows how weak Mittelt's willpower was to cave in that easily. Probably a combination of being the youngest and weakest of the group along with the stress of their servitude since what happened at the abandoned church.
On another hand, it shows that even with mercy. The method Ray's used rarely leave his victim's mind intact as even Mittelt hadn't had her mind broken, she her willpower is and had succumbed
However, hate it or not. This is their only future. The only chance to grasp at their freedom which Mittelt already did and now it's their turn as Ray turns towards them, looking knowingly at them while proudly tugging at the leash connected to Mittelt who leans closer to him as she was pulled closer and delightfully rubbing herself against him. Creating a scene that conveys the message that they are next.

Well, I added extra scene on Mittelt's leading up to it as bonus. No need to thank me. 👍
