Who knows what will happen ten years from now?
The first child, the first bloodline connection—this significance is heavier than Mount Tai!
"Then what do we do?" Geoticx asked anxiously. "Sazex took the things and put a gag order. We can't just go and rob them, can we?"
"Robbery? That's too low-level."
Vinilana straightened her skirt, and at that moment, the aura of the matriarch of Gremory was fully revealed.
"Since he has taken away the miracle, let's use the most primitive and irrefutable method."
She walked toward the door.
"I'm going to have a good talk with my daughter."
The atmosphere in Rias's room was subtle.
Rias and Akeno Himejima, fresh from their bath, wore only thin silk pajamas. Their rosy hair and long, jet-black hair were still damp with moisture, exuding an alluring fragrance.
They looked at Zhou Ye, who was sitting on the sofa, somewhat at a loss.
Rias's mind is still in turmoil from her mother's words at the banquet.
"Ye..." she was about to say something.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
"Rias, is that Mom? May I come in?"
Vinilana's voice was so gentle that Rias trembled.
"Mom...Mom? Please come in."
The door opened.
Vinilana entered carrying a silver tray with three steaming cups of herbal tea that emitted a calming aroma.
She first smiled and handed a cup of tea to Zhou Ye: "Ye-jun, you've had a busy day, you must be tired."
Then he gave the two cups of tea to Rias and Akeno respectively.
She did everything perfectly, acting as a loving mother who cared deeply for her daughter and son-in-law.
But Rias and Akeno sensed an unusual pressure behind that smile.
"Mom, it's so late, why are you..."
"I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come and talk to you all." Vinerana sat down beside Rias's bed and took her hand.
"Rias, Akeno, you two are both good children whom your mother watched grow up."
Her words were filled with love and remembrance.
“Especially you, Rias. From a young age, you were protected by your brother and lived a carefree life. But now, you've grown up and found your own place. Your mother is very happy, but also... very worried.”
Vinilana sighed, a hint of worry appearing on her face at just the right moment.
"Ye Jun is too outstanding."
She glanced at Zhou Ye, making no attempt to hide her admiration, before turning the conversation back to her daughter.
"A man like this is like the sun in the night, attracting countless moths. Mom doesn't ask you to be the brightest one, but you must have your own light, so that he can never ignore you."
Rias's face was completely red.
She knew what her mother was going to say.
"Mother……"
“Let me finish,” Vinilana interrupted her, her tone becoming serious.
"Sazex just contacted me."
She didn't hide anything and told Sazex's decision exactly as it was.
"He said that in order to maintain stability in the underworld and for the sake of long-term observation, the miracle bestowed upon us by Lord Ye should be sealed away for ten years."
Rias and Akeno were both startled.
"How could my brother..."
“He can. Because he is the Demon King.” Vinilana’s tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
"He stands on his throne, looking down upon the entire underworld. And I, sitting here, look upon my daughter."
Vinilana gripped his hand even tighter.
"Rias, do you understand what your mother means?"
"The waters of the Mother-Child River are gone, but you are still here."
"You, Himejima Akeno, you are the first partners that Ye-kun acknowledged. You have the advantage of being first to act!"
"You must, as soon as possible, give birth to a descendant with Ye Jun's bloodline for our Gremory family!"
“This is not a request, Rias.”
Vinilana cupped her daughter's face in her hands, looked directly into her eyes, and spoke each word with conviction.
"This is your responsibility, your mission, and the foundation upon which you will find your place in this palace in the future!"
"I don't care what methods you use!"
"Whether it was her initiative, getting her drunk, or using force!"
"In short, I want to see the results as soon as possible!"
boom!
Rias's mind completely exploded.
To get him drunk?
Use force?
Is this something your own mother would say?!
She was so ashamed that she trembled all over, wishing she could jump off the balcony immediately.
Himejima Akeno, standing to the side, also blushed, but a hint of eagerness flickered in her eyes.
"Hehehe... Auntie, you're being too direct." She covered her mouth and chuckled, but her tone sounded like she was adding fuel to the fire.
Zhou Ye sat on the sofa, holding the cup of floral tea, without saying a word the entire time.
He watched the "ultimate childbirth" drama, personally directed by his mother-in-law, and found it more interesting than watching any movie.
He could sense that every word Vinilana spoke carried an unyielding resolve.
This is not a matter for discussion.
This is an ultimatum.
Rias had been cornered on the edge of a cliff, her pleading eyes constantly glancing at him.
Zhou Ye put down his teacup and finally stood up.
He walked over to Rias, whose face was flushed and who was about to cry, and pulled her and Akeno, who was also somewhat at a loss, into his arms.
He gave his mother-in-law a helpless yet amused look.
"Mother-in-law."
Why would you do this?
"Making it so serious, like we're going to war."
Zhou Ye gently patted Rias's back to comfort her.
"When it comes to children, just let nature take its course."
Vinilana stared at him, refusing to budge an inch.
"Ye-kun, I'm not joking with you. I know this will put you in a difficult position, but it concerns Rias's lifelong happiness!"
"Happiness?" Zhou Ye smiled.
"My woman's happiness is never determined by a child."
"It is up to me."
He raised his hand and waved lightly.
The door to the room closed silently.
An invisible barrier enveloped the entire space, isolating everything inside and outside.
Zhou Ye looked at Vinilana, his tone calm, yet carrying an undeniable force.
“Mother-in-law, I respect your feelings as a mother.”
"But I have my own rules in my backyard."
"You should get some rest tonight."
After saying that, he ignored the complicated expression on Vinerana's face, picked up Rias and Akeno who exclaimed in surprise, and strode towards the large bed.
"As for the children..."
"We can start working on it tonight."
Vinilana stood there, looking at the bed shrouded in a barrier, listening to her daughter's exclamation of shame and anger, and Akeno's suppressed giggles coming from inside.
Finally, her tense face slowly relaxed.
A triumphant smile curved at the corners of his lips.
She knew she had achieved her goal.
Chapter 252 A Political Marriage from the Underworld
The morning sunlight streamed through the luxurious floor-to-ceiling windows and onto the disheveled bed.
Zhou Ye opened his eyes and felt as if he were being entangled by two octopuses.
