Not even an hour after Lady Rias finished the binding, she and her new familiar promptly fell asleep.
It was as she expected. While it may not feel tiring at first, binding a familiar is far more exhausting than one would think. After all, you are binding a living being to your soul. If one is not accustomed to such magic, then it will be tiring, no matter how simple it appears to be.
This is why Lord Zeoticus and Lady Venelana wanted to wait a bit longer before Lady Rias chose her familiar. They worried for her as good parents should.
She, however, fully believed Lady Rias was capable of going through with the binding with little to no issue. While not her tutor in magic she did offer her Lady some advice here and again. So she knew she was more than capable.
So, it was expected that Lady Rias got her way in the end by giving her parents the dreaded puppy dog eyes.
She had to be vigilant as her lady may grow up to be a bit too spoiled. But taking proper care of her familiar should help teach her some responsibility.
She walked over and smiled as Lady Rias clutched her familiar to her chest.
She collected the children and placed them on a nearby couch. She retrieved a blanket and tucked the two of them in.
Grayfia nodded as Lady Rias was properly attended to.
Now for Lady Venelana. She believed she went to the library.
She strolled through the Gremory estate, giving her nods of approval to the various maids running about, making sure everything was as it was supposed to be.
Grayfia soon arrived at the family library. The Gremory library was a rather large section of the castle as the family had quite the peculiar luck in obtaining all manners of rare objects. She was sure nobody truly knew what all was kept in the family's vault, although there were attempts to document everything held within.
But because of it, the library was also quite a chore to maintain as it often had a constant influx of new materials. Thankfully, they had an excellent… if moody, librarian to organize and manage it. Beatrice could be quite the pain at times but still, the tiny reincarnated devil was good at her job despite being a more recent acquisition of Lady Venelana, being her bishop. In her 200 years managing the library she managed to organize the entire library and identify over a quarter of the ridiculous backlog kept in the Gremory vaults.
Beatrice was more often than not actually in the library, as she spent most of her time identifying new materials. This worked fine with her, as the tiny devil usually jeered and sneered at her whenever they met.
Although she could do with her actually tutoring Lady Rias in magic as she should. Her frequent absences left her to pick up the slack in Rias' teachings and while she preferred it that way. The sheer unprofessionalism irked her.
She entered the library, almost expecting the tiny blonde devil to accost her for some reason or another.
When the tiny terror never showed, she continued on her way.
She walked over to a nearby table, and it appeared Lady Venelana was looking through a stack of books.
Her Lady looked up and smiled, "Ah, Grayfia, how are the children?"
She bowed, "I have left them to their nap, my lady."
Lady Venelana's smile brightened, "It's always a treat to see them tucker themselves out, isn't it?"
She smiled in turn, "Too true. Now, my lady, what are you searching for, and may I offer my assistance?" She almost mentioned the lack of assistance from Beatrice but held her tongue.
Lady Venelana shut a book and placed a hand on her cheek, "I'm looking for a book on raising goblin familiars. There was one that Chysis had but I can't seem to find it. I do know it's here… but Betty is always moving things around."
"Then I will assist you in your search, my Lady."
"Thank you very much, Grayfia. I hope Sirzechs appreciates how much effort you put in."
Grayfia gave her lady a warm smile. "My lord does. You don't have to worry about that, Lady Venelana."
The two female devils perused the library in search of a book to help raise Lady Rias' goblin familiar.
She was still surprised that Lady Rias chose a goblin of all things. She expected her to get something more traditionally cute. Perhaps a bat?
But in the end, it was not her duty to make such decisions, it was to serve.
Still, a goblin was not the worst choice. They could be civilized with effort and often made loyal servants. She remembered meeting Lady Chysis' goblin butler, Grobul.
While he was getting on in age he was hard working and spent his time making sure his Lady lived her best life. She both understood his dedication and respected him for it.
And it warmed her heart to know that Lady Chysis learned the sage arts to keep Grobul as hale and hearty as she could.
Due to her efforts the goblin far outlived the expected lifespan of one of his species nearly a dozen times over making him perhaps the oldest goblin to ever live.
He managed to make it to the advent of the evil pieces and she assumed he would join Lady Chysis' peerage… but he refused to reincarnate as he felt it would be a waste of such a useful tool on a lowly goblin.
She still recalls how moved she was by Lady Chysis' declaration that day. That she would reach the greatest heights of the sage arts so they may live together forever more, as she simply could not live without him.
It brought a tear to her eye that she appreciated her servant that much.
That moment served to highlight how much the Gremory cared for their servants.
As she floated back down from checking the upper section of a bookshelf she heard a voice sneer, "What are you doing here, maid."
She gazed down at the tiny devil known as Beatrice.
"I am here to assist my lady, unlike you," she replied sharply. Was it perhaps a bit unprofessional? Yes, it was, but the two had their differences that were better handled with words rather than actions.
The mess would have been a nuisance to clean up otherwise after all.
The twin drill-haired devil glared at her and let out a huff, "Well then, I will endeavor to assist Venny, I suppose."
She twitched at how casually she referred to her lady.
The tiny devil's eyes sharpened, "So you may leave, if fact."
She glared in response to the arrogance, and they both released the smallest amount of their power—just enough to kick up a small breeze, as they both knew better than to release more.
Their staredown was then stopped by Lady Venelana smiling at them. They momentarily froze and yelled out,
"Lady Venelana/Venny!"
"Ufufu, it's nice to see you two getting along so well. Now Betty, how are you doing?"
Beatrice, flustered and fiddled with her dress, "I'm doing good, Venny. I was just talking to Grayfia about why you were here, In fact."
Lady Venelana patted the small devil on the head, "Oh, that's wonderful. The search should go much quicker now that you're here."
Beatrice tossed a smug look to her as Lady Venelana rubbed her head.
Grayfia's eye twitched ever so slightly.
Beatrice then replied, "Hehehe, I'll do my best to help you, Venny, I suppose."
Lady Venelana smiled with glee, "Thank you very much, Betty!"
"Now then, what book are you looking for, Venny? It should take but a moment to locate, in fact."
Lady Venelana then described the book: "Ah, it was about raising goblin familiars. Chysis owned it before. She recommended it in case I decided to raise one." Lady Venelana looked a bit confused as she continued, "Although I don't know why she expected me to."
Beatrice flushed briefly but banished it quickly.
Now, what was that about?
With a cough, she asked, "Are you sure you want that book Venny?"
Lady Venelana tilted her head confused, "Yes I do. Little Rias chose a goblin as her familiar after all. Why is it a bad book?"
Beatrice looked a bit red again, "N-no it is a good one. Very informative, I suppose."
With a flick of her wrist and a small flare of magic, a book rested in Beatrice's hands. The small devil looked between Lady Venelana and herself.
She then said, "Venny, why don't I let Grayfia handle it? She is the one most likely to help little Rias with her familiar, in fact."
She didn't miss the devious look the small devil gave her. What is she planning?
Lady Venelana brought a finger to her lips in contemplation. She then nodded after a moment, "That's fine so long as Grayfia is fine with it."
She bowed, "I live to serve Lady Venelana."
Her lady then said, "Thank you Grayfia. Just think of it as practice for when you and Sirzechs have a child."
She jolted as the idea excited her. She quickly collected her bearings, "It would be improper for a mere maid to carry the child of my lord."
Lady Venelana giggled, "Fufufu, I suppose that would be true. Wouldn't want his wife to find out now would we?"
"Too true my lady."
Grayfia smiled internally as Lady Venelana was one of the few who could understand her specific… desires. Lord Sirzechs tried his best and the few times he got into they had a wonderful time… but he is always skittish about it.
But as before she cannot control her master… she could only remind him she is a servant and hoped he made use of her.
Her joyful mood was then ruined by a disgusted face of Beatrice. The small devil stuck out her tongue and made a gagging gesture.
The little imp!
She sharpened her gaze as Beatrice waltzed over, "Here you go, I suppose."
Beatrice gingerly handed the book to her, and with a gentle wind that tickled her ear, she heard an amused voice say, "Have fun with this maid. I imagine you will, in fact."
She narrowed her eyes for a moment and took the book. She looked at it and found it appeared to be ordinary if well-worn.
"How to raise a strong, vigorous goblin."
While the title felt a bit odd, she found no issue with it… something had to be in this book if Beatrice wanted only her to handle it.
Before she could think of questioning her, Beatrice ran off towards her lady.
"Ne, Venny, why don't you join me for tea? And I'll make it myself, I suppose?"
"It has been some time since I had your tea. So why not."
Beatrice turned to her with an insufferable smug look, "How about you get going, Grayfia? That book does contain important information, in fact."
She then made a shooing motion, and her eye twitched ever so slightly once more.
The audacity!
But nevertheless, she walked away intent to study the book.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Grayfia read the book a second time as she was in disbelief over its contents. Oh, it held much useful information in the way of rearing goblins… but one section, in particular, stood out to her.
"How to handle a Goblin's sexual desires."
A decent portion of the book was dedicated to this part. Paragraph after paragraph spoke of how to properly manage male and female goblin's innate heightened libido, or else there could be consequences, such as the goblin turning feral from their built-up lusts and raping anything in sight. She had heard of the goblin's… heightened fertility and virility, but for it to be such an issue? She felt it was ridiculous… but Lady Chysis had made use of the book, so the words must have been true.
That meant that Lady Rias was in potential danger if her familiar didn't get relieved regularly.
Ah, So that is what Beatrice was so smug about. She knew the contents of the book and what must be done for Lady Rias familiar. The little imp thought it would serve to humiliate her… but she is a servant of the Gremory family, and she will fulfill her duty… even if it meant getting her hands dirty.
And so she made the preparations for Gobu's lessons… and sexual relief.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The first thing she did in the morning was as she always did. Prepare Lady Rias for the day and send her off to her tutors. Lady Rias was the next heir to the Gremory family and must learn the lessons needed to manage the vast territory the family held. She knew while her lady wished to go to the human world for education, that could only fulfill her more mundane education. So, she must get a head start on her supernatural studies.
As Rias was off at her tutors, that left her with her familiar, Gobu.
Based on his appearance he was soon to leave the preadolescent phase and quickly mature into a young goblin. Which meant she had to begin his education… and relief now, less he turns feral.
She would hate for Lady Rias to lose her familiar so soon.
So she will do her level best to make sure he grows up to be an upstanding servant.
She had taken him to a room she had prepared. It was full of various educational materials meant for children. For some reason, Gobu gave the colorful room a look of fear.
Hmm… many of the more dangerous beasts in the familiar forest had unusual pigmentation, so perhaps he had recalled such a beast?
He quickly snapped out of his haze and looked resigned for his lessons. That wouldn't do. She had to raise him to be an upstanding servant of the Gremory family, after all. So, she began to teach the small goblin how to be civilized.
His first lesson… went well. The young goblin was bright, much more bright than she expected. He easily understood and could comprehend the simple lessons she had planned. That meant she had to adjust and accelerate her lesson plans then.
With his lesson done for the day meant that she had to perform the next portion of rearing a goblin familiar…managing their sexual desires.
The book had recommended that she document his growth and so she procured an empty journal and a camera to do just that.
Gobu, at first, was confused… but after she stripped him of his pants and released his small member into the air, he was on board.
It seemed that the book was telling the truth about goblins after all, as the young goblin sported an erection.
From an initial glance, the only difference between it and a normal penis was coloration. The skin was smooth and a similar green to the rest of his body if a tad darker. The head of the penis was a light pinkish purple.
After she did her initial observation she took a picture and then measured him.
His length was about three inches, and his girth was rather thin, with his testicles being about the size of grapes.
All in all, it was what she expected to belong to a child.
Now, it was time to relive him.
With a gloved hand, she gently took the small green member and began to stroke it.
During the entire process, she kept her face a perfect blank mask.
With every stroke, more precum leaked out of his small urethra and further stained her gloves.
For some odd reason, he seemed to enjoy the sight of her gloves slowly being defiled. She filed that thought away for later.
She then noted that his penis seemed to get a fair bit longer and thicker as she stroked him. With her other hand, she cupped his testicles and, too, found them bigger.
His penis jumped and spewed a rope of clear sticky precum as she massaged his balls. It seemed they were sensitive. That would be going in her report along with the size increase.
When Gobu began to buck his hips, that's when she knew it was time for his ejaculation.
One, two, and three ropes of seed shot onto her gloved hand, soiling the garment.
She stared at the now ruined glove blankly as surprisingly thick semen coated and soaked into it. With every movement of her hand, it made a squelching noise. She then brought her soiled hand closer to her face to observe as she had to document his semen quality as well. While thick globs of it dripped down her hand, she noted it was a healthy pearly white and rather sticky. In addition, his seed had a slightly pungent odor that made her nose crinkle ever so slightly.
After she obtained her observations she bid Gobu to leave. The young goblin walked out of her classroom with a satisfied gait.
She then removed and replaced her gloves, making sure the soiled pair was kept in her private facilities. It wouldn't do for one of the other maids to discover it after all.
With now clean gloves she documented her findings in her blank journal. It was to be the first of many.
