He then looked at Gurefia.

"Sister Grayfia, could you borrow a set of [Demon Chess Pieces] for me?"

Grayfia glanced at Rias and nodded slightly.

"no problem."

Bai Hao is the future husband of the Gilmore family and the future brother-in-law of Lucifer.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to get a set of "Devil Chess Pieces".

Rias was somewhat puzzled.

What do you need the [Demon Chess Piece] for?

"Is he planning to be reincarnated as a demon?"

"No."

Bai Hao isn't stupid; how could he possibly be reincarnated as a demon?

"I plan to research and develop a set of [Contract Chess Pieces] that I own."

Rias's eyes lit up.

"Really?!"

"Then can I be your [Queen]?!"

As soon as Rias finished speaking, all the women around her instantly focused on Bai Hao.

The word "Queen" carries immense weight!

Bai Hao remained calm, shook his head, and explained.

"I don't plan to make [International Chess], I want to develop a [Chinese Chess] system."

There is no Queen inside.

"Only chariots, horses, ministers, advisors, cannons, and soldiers."

"Eh?"

Rias has some knowledge of Chinese Chess; she knows the pieces.

But that's precisely why she was even more puzzled.

"But there aren't any over-the-top pieces like the Queen here."

"Will the effect of making it into a [Contract Piece] be inferior to that of [Chess]?"

Bai Hao explained,

"Both games have 16 pieces, but [Chinese Chess] only has 5 [Pawns], making the overall quality of the pieces higher."

"That's it~"

Rias suddenly realized what was going on, and then said nothing more.

Bai Hao's mind gradually became more active.

Making a "Wanning Chess" game, and building half a chessboard's worth of "chariots" in one go, seems like a good idea.

…………

The next morning.

Bai Hao and Himejima Akeno were having breakfast together.

He reached out and gently gathered Zhu Nai's hair from the back of her head, placing it to one side.

The girl turned to look at Bai Hao behind her, her tone carrying the languidness of an early riser.

"Good morning, Haojun~"

Upon hearing this, Bai Hao smiled slightly, bent down, and put his arm around the girl's waist.

"It seems that Zhu Nai no longer cares about her own bloodline?"

He stroked the girl's dark wings, his words revealing a hint of probing.

This is proof that she has the blood of a fallen angel, and it is also the part of herself that she hates the most.

Because these filthy wings always reminded her of her irresponsible father and her tragically deceased mother.

For this reason, she even tore off the wings on her back with her own hands.

Himejima Akeno could sense Shiro's concern.

She smiled sweetly and took the initiative to wave her wings, which resembled those of a fallen angel and a demon.

"Haojun, you won't dislike me..."

"Is it right?"

…………

Two hours later.

Bai Hao walked into the villa's dining room and immediately saw Gu Leifeiya standing next to the head of the table.

The silver-haired maid had exquisite makeup on.

She was wearing a blue and white maid dress.

The voluminous skirt reached almost to her ankles.

The upper body was buttoned up tightly.

Only her two slender, white arms were visible.

Gurefia slightly curled the corners of her lips, revealing a small smile.

The silence in his eyes from yesterday was gone.

It seemed to carry a hint of genuine ease and joy.

Bai Hao could tell that Gurefia was in a much better mood today than yesterday.

There's a feeling of "finally being free from a heavy burden".

"Sister Gurefia, what are you doing here?"

Gurefia smiled slightly, gracefully walked to Bai Hao's side, and guided Bai Hao to sit in the main seat.

“Lord Bai Hao, from today onwards I am no longer Lucifer’s retainer.”

"??"

Bai Hao was completely bewildered and couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Gurefia brought breakfast to Bai Hao.

"Please use."

Looking at the exquisite plating in front of him, Bai Hao became increasingly puzzled.

Grayfia glanced at Rias and explained softly,

"Two hundred years ago, Lucifer and I made a pact."

“He spared the survivors of the Lucifogus family, and I served as his retainer, assisting him in his work as a demon king.”

Yesterday was the deadline we agreed upon.

"Starting today, I am free again."

Bai Hao now understood why Gurefia's emotions had been so strange yesterday.

Gurefia handed Bai Hao some cutlery.

"Thank you."

Bai Hao habitually thanked him, then noticed something was amiss.

"What are you doing now...?"

Gurefia smiled slightly.

"Two hundred years have made me forget what ordinary life is like."

"I am filled with uncertainty about the future of freedom."

“I went to ask Miss Rias for advice last night.”

She said that Lord Bai Hao's world was much richer and more colorful.

"By following you, I may gradually come to understand the meaning of life."

"???"

Bai Hao didn't quite understand Rias's actions.

Did they trick him into giving away Gurefia?

Rias smiled sheepishly and explained,

“Last night, Sister Gurefia’s condition was terrifying. I was afraid something might happen to her, so I made up an excuse to talk to her all night.”
