"He was, but we sent him back to the underworld with Souji before coming over here. I believe you will owe him a statement or an apology as well son, considering he was the one looking after you," Sirzech laughed.
"Oh, he will be pissed, considering how I escaped his legendary tracing ability." Marid laughed as well.
"How did you escape him exactly." Rias asked her nephew.
"I placed multiple illusions spells over me and then made multiple clones to send him off course.
When the clone he was following teleported away, and naturally when he followed the clone, he ended up in the gutters of Mumbai, India" Marid laughed much to the surprise of Rias.
'He could have used illusion during our battle all those years ago? His illusion magic must be very refined to juke Souji-san like that.
If he had used those against me, I would have never stood a chance.
Perhaps his overconfidence in beating me due to him being a son of One-sama caught up to him,' Rias thought to herself.
"Well, then you should just come with us so that you can meet Millicas and the rest of the family as well" Sirzech placed a comforting hand on his son s shoulder.
"What do you mean, rest of the family?" Marid asked cautiously.
"Well, you are going to Gremory manor after all" Sirzech smiled at his son's growing discomfort after hearing he would be facing his grandfather after all those years. It was no secret in the family that Marid and Lord Gremory didn't see eye to eye.
"Ahhh my stomach looks like I ate something bad. I will be back real quick," Marid said lamely before trying to teleport away.
However, his plan was nulled when his mother grabbed him and disabled his teleportation circle.
"You won't get away that easily, Marid" Grayfia joined her husband in teasing their son about what was to come.
"Someone help me, Rias Sona, please," Marid pleaded, but to his dismay, his call for help landed on deaf ears.
"I am sorry Marid, I am busy at the moment since I have to look after the new incoming students,"
Sona said as she returned to her desk to resume her work which was disturbed by Marid's unannounced arrival.
"Same here, Marid. My peerage and I have a research paper due about the occult movement in the city this week.
Looks like you are on your own," Rias said slyly before turning around and leaving the room.
"Traitors," Marid said weakly before being teleported away by his amused but relieved parents.
Lucifer Manor, Lilth
"Its good to be back, nothing has changed" Marid said aloud, fondly remembering all the time he was at his father's manor.
The courtyard in the middle of the palace where he used to meditate and train with Sairaorg, the prestigious yet clean décor of the manor, and not to mention the incredible kitchen the manor had.
"It's good to have you back as well son" Sirzech said excitedly. Not only his son was back he was also looking forward to seeing Millicas reaction.
Soon they arrived at the Manors lounge. Unlike the rest of the manor, this room felt more like home and less like a Royal manor for the family. It was a room Marid redesigned when he was young.
The cozy and warm room felt like a breath of fresh air for the family, a welcome change. So when Sirzechs and Grayfia found out about the room on their wedding anniversary as a gift from Marid to the couple, they were more than happy to keep the room as is.
Ever since then, the lounge had become their family room where they all used to spend their time together.
"I am not going to lie to you guys, I am very glad that you guys didn't take me to the Gremory Manor to meet the others"
Marid said as he took a seat on his favorite recliner chair. Something he used to sit on when he was younger.
"Oh we still are going over there tonight, we just wanted to talk to you before we head over there" Sirzech said as he and his wife shared a uncomfortable look.
"Son, I want you to tell me the truth, why did you leave the underworld for this long" Grayfia asked Marid wanting to get the truth. After all the couple had blamed themselves for Marid leaving unannounced.
"What do you mean, I told everyone about it, I wanted to go and train" Marid replied incredulously.
"That's one reason, we want the other reason Marid" Sirzech asked softly.
"What makes you think there is even another reason Dad" Marid crooked his eyebrow in their direction.
"Because with you there is always another reason" Grayfia replied with a smile.
"Son is it not liking this castle as a home? I knew the style of the castle isn't something you like. If you don't like it that much you can move the Gremory Manor.
That's where Millicas and Grayfia live as well. I join them there on the weekend" Sirzech asked his eagerly. Wanting to get to the bottom of it.
"Well Dad, you kinda landed on a large part of why left in the first place. The House of Gremory itself" Marid sighed.
His reasoning caught both Sirzech and Grayfia off guard.
"I am sorry what?" Sirzech asked confused and a little offended.
"Dad what I am talking about, is that the House of Gremory was the only thing that was ever talked about, at least where I was concerned.
Zeoticus wasn't grooming me and Rias to become better Devils, he was training us to become better tools for him and by extension the Great King faction since he thinks they are the best thing ever happened to the Devils.
And when I didn't develop the power of destruction like you, Rias and I imagine now Millicas, he threw me to the side.
Despite the fact fabled power of destruction we inherited from the Bael family through Gran and not his side of the family" Marid explained. His reply resulted in pained expression coming over the couple's face.
