Irregular In DxD

Valentina Bael, the half-sister of the strongest women in the underworld and the wife of the Duke of Gremory. 

Unlike her sister Venelana, she was born to the first wife of Zekram Bael who was the head of the Bael house.

So someone of her stature shouldn't bother paying attention to Venelana who was just born to some common whore who was lucky enough to be noticed by Zekram Bael when she was working as a maid in the mansion.

But still, she felt a sense of satisfaction in bullying them. Her mother was especially dissatisfied by Venelana's whore of a mother who tried to seduce her husband without understanding her place. 

Obviously, it shouldn't have mattered much, she just bullied a maid and her daughter but at least that was what she thought until Venelana started showcasing her talent. She was much more talented than her and her siblings who were of pure blood. 

Valentina was jealous and resentful of this as she couldn't understand how an illegitimate child had more talent than them. She couldn't accept it, but she had to face reality as she watched Venelana grow stronger and stronger. They couldn't try any assassinations as Zekram took an interest in her. 

Valentina had to watch on in fear as Venelana participated in the Great War and made a name for herself. Her mother did pull some strings to get rid of the bitch but it seems they could only kill her friend and it ended up further strengthening her. 

But luckily Venelana didn't pursue matters with her and her mother and seemed to have forgotten about her. But Valentina wasn't grateful but she felt even more humiliated as she felt that Venelana didn't regard her as important. 

It hurt her self-esteem knowing that a person she regarded as worthless was currently viewing her as worthless. 

She was very envious of Venelana, as Venelana was everything she couldn't be. Venelana was more talented than her. more beautiful than her, stronger than her and overall better than her at everything. 

But Valentina would never acknowledge it, even if she knew deep down that she could never compare to Venelana. Each time she heard others comparing them and praising her sister she felt like her heart was stabbed by a hot stake. 

But she never attributed her failure to herself, she only blamed it all on Venelana as this was all her fault. If Venelana didn't exist then none of this would have happened. 

She gloated a bit when Venealana's marriage was decided without her consent, the thing she feared most would never happen and that made her relieved.

She feared that her father would make Venelana the heir seeing her immense talent but it seems it wouldn't happen. 

But she became angry again when she knew Venelana was marrying the Duke of Gremory. She felt so envious at that time, but she understood why her father had decided to marry Venelana off, it was to further his faction influence. 

She also knew that Zeoticus was a lecher just like most high-class devils, and even if she hated to admit it, Venelana was a very sought-after woman in the underworld who had beauty and strength that made her desired by many. 

She felt very uncomfortable when she thought that she had to watch Venelana live a comfortable life. But who would have thought that her wish would come true when she came to hear the news that Venelana's relationship with her husband was very cold and most of the time she didn't even stay in the Gremory mansion. 

She felt like she was very lucky when she noticed that Zeoticus seemed to have an interest in her. So she made sure to act in a way that would make him desire her more. Zeoticus was just a fool who always thought with his lower body so it wasn't that hard for her. 

Her plan succeeded when Zeoticus asked for her hand in marriage and she married into the Gremory house as the second lady. She expected Venelana to use her status to suppress her or at least do something but all she received was indifference. 

It was as if Venelana didn't care about her existence and her eyes which gazed at her were like a speck of dust. She felt like she was worthless before Venelana's eyes. 

And even Venelana's bitch of a maid dared to gaze at her like that. But Valentina couldn't do anything, she felt uncomfortable to the point that she felt like she wanted to kill someone, but in the end, she swallowed her bitterness and went to Zeoticus to pour out her grievance. 

By her acting like an Innocent and kind woman she was able to gain Zeoticus's pity and favour, each time she was annoyed by Venelana she would go Zeoticus and he would infer from her behaviour that she was bullied by Venelana.

She would try to speak up for Venelana telling him that Venelana still hated her for what happened when they were children and this would further worsen Zeoticus's impression of Venelana and improve her own in his eyes.

And Venelana not trying to explain anything when he confronted her and her indifference to Zeoticus only worked in Valentina's favour. 

Although she knew Sirzechs was displeased with what was happening he refrained from getting involved which made her relieved. Sirzechs was always a thorn she had to be wary of because even her father had to give leeway before him. 

But all of that changed when her daughter was born.....
