After 'talking' with Venelana, it was time to 'talk' with Skadi. His Goddess Wife was still hungry and wanting that child, which Raynor was still holding back as he was waiting for her to realise that he could control fertility.
The beauty needs to realise that she can't manipulate him that easily.
With night spent 'talking', morning arrived, and Raynor returned to work on the totem.
As Raynor was working in his room, Lady Gremory finally woke up; it was way past midday.
Venelana's purple eyes trembled for a second before she opened them. Complex emotions washed her up. Her plan had backfired. No, it was something worse. She got nothing out of this!
Nothing at all!
Instead, she ended up fucked silly. Now the Shaman has another card to play!
There is no way she can say no to him. If he wants to fuck her, he can simply call her, not that she will mind. What he did to her is something no one was able to do through her long life.
She is certain that he has broken her body.
'I suppose now I know why blood magic is forbidden, at least the unspoken part of it.'
After resting for a few more minutes, she started to use demonic energy to accelerate her muscle healing as she couldn't sense her legs.
"Mother, you are finally awake." RIas walked into the room, dressed in yukata. Unlike Venelana, Rias was enjoying her stay in the spa. Raynor didn't torture the crimson-haired beauty. Because of that, she can enjoy the hospitality of the resort.
"...Yes, is he still around?"
"Darling? Yes, he has been working on the totem for several hours now." Rias explained as she walked over to the window and opened it; some fresh air was needed as it smelled like sweat and sex.
"...I see; I want to speak with him."
"...Again? Mother, you are quite greedy."
Rias frowned as she thought her mother meant for fucking.
"...Don't be ridiculous; I want to speak with him, nothing else." Venelana clarified with an annoyed tone. It would seem her image in her daughter's eyes has been shattered.
"Well, it depends on what Darling wants to do. You might want one thing, but he could want another." The crimson-haired beauty replied with a smirk.
Her words made the brown-haired devil lady frown; what she said was true. Now that she crossed the boundary, there is no more coming back. The only way she could do it is if she is to have a deterrent.
"...I know."
After a short exchange, Rias left the room as she wanted to relax and laze around; the Heiress of the Gremory Clan summoned her Queen after getting permission from Raynor. After all, being without her Queen is quite weird. Rias even wonders where Sona's Queen is; she is never around when Sitri Heiress is with Raynor.
As the pair of Heiresses are spending time alone, Venelana thought she would have the opportunity to spend more time alone with Raynor. But to her annoyance, a black-haired beauty was sitting not far from Raynor.
"Oh, the devil is here." Skadi's tone was very sarcastic as she understood what happened. Venelana tried to be a smartass but got roasted badly.
"...Morning, I thought I could speak with you." The brown-haired lady ignored the sarcastic jab.
"We did much speaking last night," Raynor replied nonchalantly.
"...Not that kind of talking." Lady Gremory grimaced at his reply.
"Then speak, I am listening…sort off."
The brown-haired devil lady sighed and realised she wouldn't be taken seriously after last night's flop.
"... It's concerning my daughter-in-law. Do you know what happened to her?"
"...And you think I know anything about that based on what?" He asked with a curious tone.
Venelana grimaced again as she realised she hadn't progressed a single inch from last night!
'Damn it all…'
"...Do we truly need to pretend? Grayfia was terrified of you. So no doubt she attacked you." Lady Gremory massaged her forehead as she explained to him.
"It would seem you misunderstand something. For one, I do not know who this Grayfia is; you automatically assume I know who is who.
Your son never introduced his wife to me."
Grayfia paled; she got ghostly white. Did she misread the situation?
"...Didn't Sona introduce or tell who his wife is." Now she started to panic; there could have been a big misunderstanding! Grayfia is, after all, a maid and his wife!
Why would Raynor hold back when some devil maid attacked him? With this realisation, Venelana started to panic!
"No, I only know that Sirzechs is Crimson Lucifer and Rias' brother. No one told me who his wife was." He shrugged without care.
But Skadi was grinning from the side as she knew he was messing with her big time. Not that Venelana understood the reason for such smugness, as she didn't know who this woman was. All she could say was that this woman was one of his lovers.
"...I see…" Venelana looked like someone had sold her soul without even telling her.
"Yes. So I have no idea. The only thing I could tell is that some crazy maid tried to attack me, so I 'put' her down."
"...D-Do you have her corpse?"
"...Nope, my wolves took care of her. I wasn't in the mood to play around with her." His words had a double meaning, as he wasn't playing with Grayfia; no, he was training her. So, in a sense, he wasn't lying. He did put the maid down and didn't play. He trained her.
"...I understand. May I request your permission to leave?"
"...Of course, but I do request to see you soon; we will continue our training later."
"...Very well." Venelana trembled as she slowly nodded at him.
Her body started to heat up as she imagined things that would happen to her.
The devil lady realised that her body was already broken and desired him.
Without saying anything extra, she turned around and left.
Skadi waited for a few minutes and proceeded to talk.
"...Amusing that she believes that you have killed her." The beauty, with an amused tone, giggled as she recalled the interaction.
"She is quite an old and experienced devil. She no doubt is proud of all of her experiences and lineage. So she always takes into account my words, which could have double meanings.
To mess up with her is to give truth mixed with half-truth. For example, no one introduced Grayfia; everyone assumed I would know who was who just because it's related to Crimson Lucifer.
And I indeed put things together on my own. But I dropped the ball into their court, making them think it was their fault I didn't know who this maid was who attacked me." Raynor explained to his Jotun Goddess.
"Hahaha, so not only were you fucked, mother, wife and sister of satan, but it was his fault? Pfff hahahaha." The black-haired goddess started to roll on the ground as she was laughing at the realisation of what happened.
"I would call it arrogance of their kin; they think I need to know their whole structure and relationships automatically. I would if I needed them, but then need me more than I need them." The Shaman shrugged his shoulders before returning to his work.

Sirzechs rushed home to see his mother when she contacted him.
The moment he saw her, she looked in quite a bad state, which made him worried.
"...Sirzechs, did you ever introduce Grayfia to him as something more than a maid?" Venelana went straight to the point.
"...You saying…"
"He told me that he took care of some crazy maid trying to kill him."
"..."
Sirzechs whole body trembled from disbelief. Did he fucked up so bad?
He immediately recalled all of the meetings he had with him.
It only made him pale from realisation. In none of those meetings, he ever introduced Grayfia. That's because why would he?
She was his maid; high-calibre supernatural leaders knew who she was. But his situation is different.
"...and her body?"
"...When she attacked him, it was right after he finished setting up the totem; he was tired from what I understood, so he left the body to the wolves."
After hearing all of this, he stood up and proceeded to leave.
"Sirzechs! Are you planning to kill him?" Venelana panicked a little bit as she saw how angry he was.
"...No." He stopped for a second.
"...But I won't be dealing with him anymore. I am Lucifer; my job is internal affairs; Serafall can handle him."
After saying that, he disappeared in a crimson circle.
Seeing that it was resolved in the worst possible way, Venelana sighed in relief; she didn't know she was holding in.
'Damn it all. Now that this is resolved, what about my situation?'
Venelana realised that she had become a toy over some piece of information!
How does she suppose to tell anyone that she is now a fuck toy to the shaman? Both Gremory and even the Bael clan would be laughing stock.
Or not? Depending on circumstances, after all, the Shaman is their Golden Goose.
The nobles do want him as close as possible.
'In that case, I will keep this as secret as possible.'
Realising that telling anyone of this is not good, she decided to rest as her body was sore.
~~~
After finishing the totem, Raynor was free to do whatever he wanted.
Sona immediately wanted to take him to Kuoh. After all, it was her 'stronghold', and she wanted to show him her peerage. At the same time, Rias wasn't that interested.
Her interest was seeing the 'isekai' world. She wants to see the medieval world, which Sona kept talking about, and maybe add someone to her peerage.
She isn't discouraged. She is excited that she might be able to get a dragon of her own!
Maybe it depends on how well she plays her cards.
"We should go to Kuoh. Don't you like manga and that stuff? Your friend told me you used to read and watch it." Sona reasoned that she knew how to pull his strings.
"No, we should visit the Isekai world. Don't you have an array of things you need to do?" Rias countered Sona's suggestion.
Raynor pondered for a couple of seconds. He then recalled that he could collect some more Legacy magic.
"We are going to Westeros. There is a mountain of stuff I need to do."
Rias fist-bumped while Sona sighed in resignation. Even Skadi looked curious as she wanted to see what this world was all about.
Maybe it will be more interesting than Midgar, as Midgar becomes far too artificial to her.
"I agree with Gremory. We should visit that place. I want to see what it is all about."
With his Goddess wife's agreement, there was no need to dilly-dally anymore.
So the group booked out of the resort, and Raynor transported everyone to Dragonstone.
~~~
Raynor estimates that he has around two weeks until he can use his power to access a different time period.
In Westeros, two weeks are— insignificant.
With that little time he might be able to finish his lodge and maybe start working on the kennel's totem. It's about bloody time when he gets his Godslaying wolves.
"...Whoa… look at the size of the volcano and the castle!" Rias gushed, seeing the massive volcano that reached the clouds and the black castle in the distance built on the island's edge.
"Sona, I want you to show things to Rias and Skadi, oh, and let the girls know…" With a hand motion, he summoned his other girls, Daenerys and Margaery.
There is a reason why he kept Margaery away for this long. It's a reminder for her to keep her ambitions in check.
"...My Lord?"
"Come with me, girls. Let me explain a couple of things."
As Sona motioned for them to follow her, Skadi wondered where the silver-haired maid was. He had not summoned her yet.
With Raynor walking away towards his lodge, the girls went to where Sona used to take her classes.
"Umm, Lady Sona, how long has it been?" Margaery felt that she had not summoned for a while, as if she had missed something big.
"I would say a couple weeks for you."
The brown-haired girl sighed in relief. It was not years, at least!
"However, quite a bit has happened." Sitri Heiress motioned towards Skadi.
"This is Goddess Skadi."
"!!!"
The pair of Princesses dumbly stared at the Goddess. They immediately went on their knees.
When one of devil kind is present they have no idea how to act, but a Goddess? Now that is obvious! On knees and worship!
"Relax. I was beaten in combat and made Raynor's wife. He is the one you should worship." She casually waved her hand to make them relax.
"I want to know if there are more girls, apart from these?" Skadi asked Sona.
"There are my ladies who slept with him," Margaery said with a small, nervous look.
She never in her wildest dreams imagined him to beat a Goddess in a fight and make her into his wife! That's a fairy tale!
They don't even question her, as it would be suicidal as they know Sona is a devil. Now they wonder who the crimson-haired girl is, too! She looks gorgeous, and her breasts are massive!
"Summon them. We need to talk."
Skadi commanded with a serious tone. There was no way in hell Margaery would deny Skadi's request.
With hand motion, the girls were summoned.
They were as confused as Margaery was at first, but they quickly got up to speed.
Seconds later, they all looked with awe at the Goddess. Now that they knew who she was, they discerned how beautiful she was, with an extremely well-proportioned body and beautiful face. What they saw was a 'perfect' specimen. Rias, next to Skadi, was considered a sinful being. Her proportions made a man lust after her, wanting to breed such a woman.
There is no doubt that this woman was a devil.
"Since I am Raynor's wife, we must establish some rules." Skadi crossed her arms as she started to speak, bringing the girls' attention back to her.
"...What kind of rules, Goddess?" Margaery asked respectfully, but she felt dread inside of her. Her woman instincts are telling her that her future as Raynor's wife is looking bleak with the literal goddess as a wife already. It went from very high, considering she was his first companion, then to an 'okay' situation with Sona, but now? With Goddess, who is already a wife?
Well, it sucks!
"Well. First of all, you girls will need to work hard if you want to be close to him. From what I have seen so far, he doesn't easily summon you to his side."
Skadi said that as she has been with him for several days, he prefers to summon his pets, like wolves and birds, instead of girls.
That shows his priorities. They need to organise that!
The first thing which came to Goddess mind was that silver-haired maid.
"...I agree, what should we do?" Margaery agreed as she realised that they needed to fix this issue first.
"...Maids, you will become his maids. If you perform well, I will raise you in the ranks." Skadi said that after stroking her chin.
"...Maids? What are those?" Daenerys looked confused. She never heard such a term before.
"...In this world, it's called manservants," Sona explained while she pushed her glasses up. The idea was not bad, but they needed a headmaid.
The Westerosi girls looked shocked for a second but then calmed down. It was not bad, Daenerys swiftly agreed. She doesn't mind doing those little things around the house or castle. Most of all, they will serve a Goddess and a man who conquered a goddess.
Only Margaery took an extra longer to think about this.
Margaery's group were already ladies who assisted with something, so it was not new.
"But don't you need someone to teach them the ropes?" Rias chipped in.
Skadi smiled; her smile was a smug one as she looked at the crimson-haired Heiress.
"But we do have one. Husband tamed quite a great maid."
Gremory's eyes bulged out as she connected the dots in her head.
"...Grayfia is not dead…"
"Of course not. It's a waste to kill someone like her." The Jotun Goddess snorted.
"Who is this…Grayfia?" Margaery asked.
"She is Lucifer's assistant. Or was, in Devil society, she was the Queen of Devils as she married Lucifer, but she tried to kill my husband. So he caught her and fucked her for hours until she became obedient." Skadi explained with an amused voice.
"...Impressive, it would seem our Lord has been busy." Some sweat dripped from the Tyrell Princess' forehead as she was impressed and horrified at the same time. It would seem that during those two weeks, a lot of things happened.
"Yes." Daenerys agreed she was with him for several days, but his other days seemed very busy.
Rias could only show a forced smile. It would seem Raynor has banged her whole immediate family…
She has no idea how to word this. It was impressive and disturbing at the same time. Very devil-like.
"Yes, well, we need to see the husband. He needs to summon that maid. We will give her some work."
Sona simply nodded to Skadi's words as she motioned to follow her.
A Few minutes later, they arrived at the lodge, where wolves lazed around, and a dragon chewed on a mountain of meat.
"...Wow…a legit isekai dragon…" Rias exclaimed like she was a tourist.
"Yeah, we might also get one since he has a bunch of eggs," Sona said with a hopeful tone. The hope is quite big as this world needs magic, and dragons are the best stimulators for that.
