A while later, Meelis woke up fully healed inside his room in the Gremory Mansion.

"You've finally woken up Meelis-sama." Grayfia's voice sounded from his side.

Meelis, seeing that it was just Grayfia, relaxed his guard and finally took in his surroundings. He was currently in bed and was probably asleep for who knows how long.

After that realization, he sat up and took a minute to inspect his body and reserves, only to see he was in top condition.

Grayfia, seeing his slight confusion, changed from her Perfect Maid mode to her Big Sister mode and filled him in on the situation, "After you passed out, the black haired nekomata, Kuroka, also passed out from overexertion. After applying a Phenex Tear to you and the other girls, I brought you all back to the Mansion. You've been asleep only for a few hours, currently the girls are being questioned for what they experienced in the Naberius house.

{Author: Grayfia is kind of like this in cannon with issei and Rias, her whole maid thing is really just a fetish of hers lol. When in maid mode she acts like a maid but any other time she does act her part as a sister-in-law, wife, and mom.} 

"I see, then what's going to happen to the two girls?" Meelis asked, since he definitely wanted Koneko and Kuroka to stay, not only for the cannon, but also because he wanted them.

"Since they are victims, they probably will not be charged with anything, and since you killed Zeldris and I captured his scientist, Sirzechs actually let me take the credit for both in order to cover up your existence, so they won't be charged for betraying their master." Grayfia answered with a slight smile.

"I see, hey Grayfia." Meelis said as he raised his left hand at Grayfia.

"Ye-." Grayfia's smile dropped as she went totally limp.

Meelis, feeling the drain, though way slower compared to Sirzechs, was still really draining, so he quickly decided to put a trial plan in motion that he made up ever since he discovered the weaknesses of (Absolute Hypnosis).

"Grayfia, can you hear me?" he said in a hurried tone.

"Yes." Grayfia answered in a monotone voice.

"Grayfia, every time I say the Keywords [Milf Maid] and snap my fingers in my left hand at the same time, you will enter a hypnotic trance in which only I will be able to manipulate and leave the same way." Meelis quickly gave his order just as he ran out of Demonic Power. Meelis' reasoning for giving such a complex command was because he didn't want to one day accidentally put her in a trance in front of everyone or accidentally leave her vulnerable to other people, so being specific with how and who could put her in a trance is the wiser choice.

Feeling exhausted from the drainage of his skill, Meelis observed Grayfia, who just came out of the trance and was looking at him in confusion as from her perspective, he just suddenly went from looking at his top condition to being absolutely tired, almost as if he ran a marathon.

"Are you okay, Meelis?" Grayfia asked in concern, wondering if it was a side effect of his technique.

Suddenly, she saw Meelis snap his left hand's fingers and heard him say, "[Milf Maid]."

Immediately, Grayfia went back into a trance and stood motionless like a doll.

Meelis, quick to notice her trance-like state asked her, "Grayfia, are you there."

"Yes." She responded.

"Grayfia, I will ask you some questions and you will answer honestly, do you understand?'

"Yes."

"Who is your husband?"

"Sirzechs Lucifer."

"Do you have a son?" I wanted to know this part since I had not seen her son at all in the mansion despite him supposed to have been born by now.

"No, I had a miscarriage."

'Oho, interesting.'

"Why did you have a miscarriage?" Meelis asked.

"I had a miscarriage because his potential was too strong and he died from his own power, nearly killing me in the process." She responded.

'Too strong? Is this what the AU meant? Devils in DxD have no afterlife, so I doubt I'd see him ever, so I cannot confirm whether it was caused by his own power, or maybe a plot by her brother or something, after all that guy was infatuated with his own sister. If it turns out it is, I'll make sure to settle that for her.' Meelis pondered over the information he received and kept note of it.

While Meelis is not a good person, he could have a good bone or two left inside him, all of which he made sure were only for those he considered his people.

"Grayfia, are you aware of my ability to make devils fertile?" Wanting to confirm that Grayfia remembered this information, he asked her about his fertility ability which she should've known since she was there when he said it. While Meelis did not actually have that ability, he was confident that he could actually make the skill later on, so he never corrected that fake information he spread.

"Yes."

"What were your thoughts when you heard it." Meelis probed.

"I thought that one day I could have another son with Sirzechs." She answered, her body slightly shaking.

Meelis, seeing her reaction became more convinced of his conjecture so he decided to try a different question to prove his hypothesis.

"Grayfia, who do you love the most?"

"My husband, Sirzechs."

"From now on, you love me the most, even more than your husband, for me you'd be willing to do anything. Say yes if you understand." As soon as Meelis said that command, he stared at Grayfia, only to see her motionless.

Seeing her motionless and unreactive to his command, Meelis changed his approach.

"Grayfia, who do you love the most?" He asked again.

"My husband, Sirzechs." Her answer was the same.

'Okay, let's try this.'

"Grayfia, you want to be a mother again, you resent the fact that you lost your child because of his bloodline, to be a mother again you're willing to earn my trust and please me to accomplish that goal. Do you understand."

"…..Yes." This time she responded, though from the slowness of the response it seems like she barely tolerated such a command.

'So that's how it is. Since I used my skill to essentially open up a hole inside her mind and inserted a Backdoor into her brain, I have access to it, but without my skill, at most she is susceptible to commands which follow her own thought process. I can't force her to change her personality completely without her subconscious rejecting my command.'

At this point, Meelis was just about done messing with her head since he didn't want to further risk her forcing her way out of the trance, it was safer to give her small commands through this method and use his skill for stronger commands.

Snapping his fingers and saying the keyword to get Grayfia out of her trance, Meelis proceeded to have a normal conversation with Grayfia, who did not seem to notice that she was in trance for a while nor that her mind was messed with.

{Author: I don't think I'll use this method a lot, at least not in any big ways just to subtly add effects to people later on, I just wanted to show it was possible since typical hypnosis methods always have some sort of backdoor where they can instantly put people in trances.}

After Grayfia left the room to let others know that he was awake, Meelis was left sitting in his bed pondering over ways to increase his Demonic Power reserves.

Yes, he could make Growth-type of skills that would boost his Demonic Power, but the thing about those skills was that they were expensive, around the 5-10,000LP range. It wasn't an impossible amount, but it was something that would take him a while to save up and couldn't be done in the short term.

As he pondered, three figures rushed into his room, Akeno, Emolga, and Rias.

"Meelis, are you ok?" Rias asked in concern.

"I'm okay, I am just a little tired." Meelis smiled at Rias.

"You need to take better care of yourself Meelis-kun." Akeno put in her two cents, with Emolga nodding on her shoulder.

As Meelis talked with Akeno and Rias, something in Meelis' mind clicked as he remembered the other show that was very similar to the DxD Universe.

'Testament of Devil New Sister, that's it!!' Meelis realized his breakthrough in his problem.

There was one spell crucial to the main Cast of 'Testament of Devil New Sister' it was the Master-Servant pact.

'So, that's my plan then, make a peerage of my women, and make the pact with them, then when our bond increases, I can reap the rewards and increase my Demonic Power., and I think I know just the first person to add to my peerage.' Meelis thought about a certain black cat currently in the mansion.
