Chapter 155 Worried mother-in-law
Novah, who had been calmly working, heard a loud crash that made most of the servants at the Agares mansion tremble. But since she was the oldest and most confident, she decided to go and check out what had happened herself.
She walked through the halls with a concerned expression, her eyes quickly scanning the destroyed walls. She let out a long sigh upon seeing the numerous holes and cracks.
"My mistress... you really need to control yourself..." she murmured, noticing small sparks of flames and traces of Sapphire's demonic energy around the holes.
It was clear that the situation had gotten out of hand. Despite Sapphire's explosive personality, she didn't do things like this on a whim.
"Ah... we're going to need to hire a contractor to fix all this..." Novah muttered, shaking her head as she surveyed the destruction.
She didn't need to ask what had happened; she already knew her mistress' temper. But still, the scene left her worried.
'Hm? It's Vergil's aura...' she thought.
She continued, walking toward the center of the largest room, where she could feel the aura. The energy was really drawing her attention, so she entered the room, where most of the destruction seemed to have occurred, and gently touched the debris of one of the broken walls.
Then... Novah stood still for a moment, her eyes narrowing as she observed the scene before her.
She had expected to find Vergil in an irritated state, perhaps still dealing with the aftermath of a possible confrontation with Sapphire. But what she saw was nothing like that.
Vergil was relaxed on the sofa, his posture calm and controlled. But what truly caught Novah's attention was the woman sitting on his lap, kissing him with an expression of relaxed intimacy.
It was the first time Novah had seen her mistress, the always wild and imposing figure, acting so... personal. Without the usual defenses, without the games of madness, it seemed that the chaos from the previous moment had been left behind, replaced by something much more private, almost intimate.
"Well, this just became a complicated situation," Novah murmured to herself, surprise evident in her voice. She was used to seeing Vergil as an innocent being, often indifferent to those around him. But in this moment, he was captivated in a different way, and the woman with him seemed equally at ease, as if the world around them had disappeared.
She approached but made no move to interrupt their moment. Novah already knew what would happen if she interfered—Sapphire didn't like being interrupted, especially in personal matters, and the man beside her probably wouldn't be happy either.
"Well, I did expect this to happen," Novah said, her tone lightly ironic but still filled with concern. She was observing the dynamic between the two with a sharp gaze, trying to understand exactly what was going on. The destroyed house, the fight, and now... this.
Definitely more than she expected when she entered the mansion.
Vergil slowly raised his eyes, noticing Novah's presence, but didn't move to distance himself or interrupt the moment with the woman beside him. He seemed perfectly comfortable, as if there was no reason to hide anything.
"I'm not one to hide anything, Novah," Vergil said calmly between passionate kisses from his mother-in-law, his voice as tranquil as always. "You already know how things work around here."
The woman beside him, still kissing him, smiled softly without saying a word. The atmosphere now felt more relaxed, but the tension Novah felt didn't fully dissipate. She knew that situations like this had the power to affect more than just the mood of the house—they could bring complications no one wanted to face.
"Yes, I know," Novah replied, though there was a hint of doubt in her voice. She was still trying to understand exactly what was happening here. As much as she knew Vergil, he always managed to surprise her in unexpected ways.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Finally, after a moment of silence, she sighed, deciding that for now, her presence no longer made sense. "I think I'll leave you two alone... for now. But..." she said, turning to him, "You'd better head to a room... this is a bit too exposed, and Katharina won't like this one bit..." Novah said, trying to stay composed. After all, she wasn't afraid of Vergil, but... the look she felt coming from Sapphire practically screamed for her to leave.
Vergil simply nodded slightly, not responding immediately, and the woman beside him continued her calm, comfortable demeanor as if nothing in the world could disturb her.
Novah, realizing that the conversation wasn't going to lead anywhere at that moment, turned and quietly left the room, leaving the two alone.
"Now that she's gone..." Vergil murmured. "Can you tell me why this all of a sudden?" he asked as the woman moved away from him, revealing the smudged lipstick and her excited face.
"I went to see a friend... he told me to come back because you were in danger." Sapphire spoke, her possessive eyes locking onto him deeply. "When I arrived, I was told you had taken a black contract." She admitted. "I got worried."
"You've been getting cuter and cuter, you know?" Vergil replied, his voice calm but with a hint of teasing. He raised an eyebrow, still with his arms crossed. "I knew exactly what I was doing. I don't need anyone to protect me."
Sapphire slowly approached, her eyes burning with fierce possessiveness. "I'm not an idiot, Vergil. When I sense something's off, I go all the way." She ran a hand gently over her face, as if trying to hide the frustration she was feeling. "But I can't stop worrying about you. Not after everything... after everything you've made me feel."
Vergil looked at her, his icy blue eyes reflecting a mix of curiosity and playfulness. "Worried, huh? Looks like my Demon Queen is getting cuter and cuter," he teased as he embraced her.
"I met someone," Vergil admitted with a smile. "Even though I didn't like him, I got some... interesting things," Vergil admitted, pulling away slightly from her. Her thighs, still draped over him, tightened almost pleadingly as if shouting "Continue!" But he only smiled and showed her the Blue Orb...
"HAHAHAHA!" Sapphire immediately laughed loudly.
She looked at the blue orb in Vergil's hands, laughter escaping her lips uncontrollably. Her expression was a mix of incredulity and amusement. "That's the 'gift' you got? That idiot dragon? HAHAHAHA!" she asked, her voice sharp with sarcasm.
"Azazel hired me to hunt down small Fallen Angels who don't want to follow orders," Vergil admitted, and Sapphire's expression immediately froze.
"Azazel... you found the damn leader of the Fallen Angels?"
