Reyer couldn't understand what the hell was going on. He stood there stunned, watching his own son, Klien, kneeling submissively in front of this young boy.
Before Reyer could even open his mouth to ask anything, Klien bowed once again before Lucifer and spoke with deep reverence:
"Young Master, please follow me… I will personally lead you to the residence of the Holygrill family."
Lucifer replied calmly, "Wait for a moment."
Then he called out two names: "Zyrelia and Mara… come here."
Neither Klien nor Reyer had any idea who Lucifer was calling. Apart from the group Reyer had been sitting with earlier, there was no one else around. That group mostly consisted of Reyer's family members and close friends, who were busy fooling around and offering their bodily fluids to the Goddess of Life and Fertility. None of them were named Zyrelia or Mara.
Klien was equally confused, but he had no choice but to wait. Suddenly, something unbelievable happened.
Two shadows materialized out of thin air in front of Lucifer and took solid physical form. Both figures knelt before him and spoke in perfect sync:
"Yes, Dad."
Klien and Reyer were witnessing this for the first time in their lives. Klien, at just 61 years old, was shocked beyond words. Even the 114-years-older Reyer stood there with his mouth wide open, completely bewildered and confused.
Lucifer, however, paid no attention to their dumbfounded expressions. He turned to his shadow-daughters and gave instructions.
"Mara… go and call Vance here. Then inform Allen that I will be away until the Fertility Ceremony Festival begins. Depending on the situation, there is a slight possibility that I won't be able to celebrate the festival with everyone back home. After calling Vance and delivering the message, return to me immediately."
He then looked at Zyrelia. "Tell Artemis to increase the overall security of the duchy. If any infiltrator is caught, do not capture them — kill them on sight. Prepare an immediate response team using all the soldiers and Viper Guards inside the duchy. Inform the entire spy unit to cooperate with Artemis. Out of the 26 members, station three in Serendity Town, another three at the Ducal Palace, and have one join me directly."
"And just like Mara, come back to me after you're done."
After giving orders to both daughters, Lucifer said, "Now go, both of you, and return quickly."
The moment they received their father's commands, Mara and Zyrelia turned into wisps of smoke and vanished straight into Lucifer's shadow.
Seeing such an absurd and impossible scene, Reyer was completely speechless. Klien, however, gathered some courage and asked, "Young Master… who were those two? How did they appear out of nowhere and vanish so suddenly?"
Lucifer replied indifferently, "Those two are my daughters. The rest doesn't concern you — at least not yet. Now lead the way without delay. The first bell of the day has already rung."
"Yes, Young Master. Please follow me," Klien said immediately and began walking toward the Holygrill family residence. Lucifer followed.
Reyer, overwhelmed by the sight of his son escorting someone with such reverence, joined them out of sheer curiosity. Now the father-son duo was personally escorting Lucifer.

While escorting Lucifer, Reyer was burning with anxiety and curiosity. Every second felt like torture. He desperately wanted to know who this young man was — the one his son kept calling "Young Master."
One thing was clear: this boy held higher authority than Klien. But the most confusing part was Klien's extreme submissiveness. Unable to hold it in any longer, Reyer whispered secretly into his son's ear:
"Hey… Klien, you bastard… who the fuck is he? Why are you calling him Young Master? Aren't our Young Masters Sir Stuart, Sir Nyx, and Sir Harry? I know all of them! But this lad — I've never seen his face in my entire goddamn life! And even if you're calling him Young Master, why the hell are you acting like his personal boot-licking slave? Are you trying to defect from the Holygrill family, you traitorous dickhead?!"
The moment Klien heard his father's whisper, he whispered back furiously:
"Old man, are you trying to get me killed?! Do you want both of us to die today? I know you're a horny old goat who wants to fuck my sisters, my aunts, and even my mother every single day, but don't drag your poor son into the jaws of death just so you can keep dipping your wrinkly dick in family holes! I love them just as much as you do, you selfish cum-goblin! Why can't I fuck them too?!"
Reyer was fuming with rage but kept his voice low. "You brain-dead donkey! Fuck whoever you want — your mother, your sisters, your aunts, the goddamn family dog for all I care! I won't stop you! Just tell me who this kid is, you sister-fucking pig!"
Klien, hearing only what he wanted, grinned wickedly and whispered back, "Dad, I'll tell you everything… but not for free. Let's make a deal, you stinky old pervert."
Reyer growled, "What the hell do you want in return, you cock-sucking barterer?! Can't you just tell your own father? Look at this bastard doing sacred business with the man who shot him out of his balls! What do you want? My asshole? Should I bend over right now and spread my cheeks for you?!"
Klien whispered back in a mocking, dramatic tone, "Who the fuck wants to enter your disgusting, dung-covered hellhole, you filthy animal?! You haven't wiped your ass properly since last week! My innocent, pure dick would commit suicide if it ever touched that stinky graveyard of yours!
What I want is simple — you will never, ever disturb me when I'm balls-deep in Mom, my sisters, or anyone else. You will not monopolize them like some greedy old warlord. Share the family pussy, you greedy bastard!"
Reyer's anger reached boiling point, but he had no choice. He crushed Klien's shoulder with a death grip, smiled sweetly at Lucifer like nothing was happening, then turned back and snarled, "Fine, you motherfucking extortionist! I accept your shitty barter in the name of the Goddess of Life and Fertility! Now tell me who this young man is, you treacherous cum-rag!"
Klien's face lit up with pure evil joy. "The young boy I'm escorting to the Holygrill residence is none other than Young Master Lucifer!"
Reyer asked desperately, "Who the hell is this Lucifer?! Tell me the whole story, you limp-dicked bastard!"
Klien continued, ignoring the insults, "Dad, don't you remember? A few days ago, the Holygrill family sent a delegation to the Westirifer Duchy — and I was part of it."
"I know! I was so proud of you!" Reyer said. "Don't tell me that puny little duchy got scared shitless seeing our brave soldiers—"
Klien's face turned pale with terror. Without warning, he slapped the back of his father's head with full force and hissed, "You suicidal motherfucker! Do you have a death wish?! Shut your arrogant cum-hole!"
Before Reyer could react, Klien whispered urgently, "Young Master Lucifer is the real power behind the Westirifer Duchy! He is the son and husband of Grand Duchess Mia, and the younger brother and husband of Duchess Amelia! He is the actual ruler!"
"That 'puny duchy' you're talking about? Yesterday, not a single soldier from our delegation could last even ten minutes against him! Not one! Even groups of ten SS+ rank warriors, the Holy Mothers, and the elite Valkyrie Knights got their asses handed to them! He beat every single one of us without breaking a sweat!"
As they continued escorting Lucifer, Klien kept narrating the entire insane story in a rapid whisper. By the time he finished, the three of them had already reached the residential palace of the Holygrill family.
