Irregular In DxD

In a huge crater, a woman could be seen curled up in a fetal position while seemingly holding something. 

Venelana was sobbing as she held Celestina's severed head tightly against her chest while tears flowed down her face. She was devastated by the events that happened this day, she truly wanted to end it all, but she also didn't want to take her life knowing that the perpetrators behind this would be living happily.....

.... 

She had reached Satan class ( God class) , a pinnacle of strength most devils could only dream of achieving in their lives. She could be now considered a genuine powerhouse in her race, but she neither felt any excitement nor happiness from this as the price paid was something she was unwilling to accept. 

What's the point of all this strength when she couldn't even protect the one she cared about, first her mother, and now Celestina. She couldn't help but blame herself for what happened today. Both her mother and Celestina died due to her. 

The people who attacked them were allies of the Bael house and had strong ties to Elizabeth Bael. She had spent a lot of connections and favours to get rid of her, to think even a Satan class devil would be involved. 

She was just a Peak Ultimate class devil who wouldn't have even reached Satan class. Reaching the Ultimate class itself was very difficult because the barrier between the High class and Ultimate is very difficult to cross.

It may seem simple but it was like a huge chasm, and the difficulty of the level between Ultimate and Satan is 100 times more difficult than this. 

Or else Satan-class Devils wouldn't be rare, but they still decided to use a Satan-class devil to deal with her, it seems that woman was really that desperate to deal with her.

If it wasn't for these devils trying to have their way with her she would have been already dead, but she wasn't grateful for that because she wished they would have just killed her, at least in that way Celestina wouldn't have to be humiliated like that and broken to a point where she wasn't herself anymore. 

With Celestina's strength, it shouldn't have happened like that but the aphrodisiac they used was too strong and it damages the mind of the person, causing irreparable damage.

When she watched them kill Celestina in front of her, it was like something inside her broke. She couldn't help but remember the situation in which her mother died, all kinds of negative emotions flooded her mind. 

Devils were creatures of sin, it is said that comprehending your Sins will help you gain greater strength. And at that time, she was filled with Wrath, Greed, and Pride. Wrath against herself, the Bael clan, Elizabeth, Zekram, these scum and the whole world. 

Greed for power, power to kill these scum in front of her and change her current predicament, to take revenge and to have a sense of safety. 

Pride from the bottom of her heart to never be in a predicament like this, to never be humiliated like this, to never feel the loss she felt today. her pride wouldn't allow her to just give up on the life that was gifted to her by her mother, the life that was exchanged by Celestina.

....

She didn't immediately take revenge as she knew she was still far from competing with Zekram who was a High Class Satan who was very close to reaching the peak.

She knew Zekram may not care about familial relationships, as a man like him cared only about his interests. 

Thus she continued participating in the war and honing herself, making a name for herself as the Ruin Princess of the Bael house. 

Celestina had a daughter, Mirelia Belphegor whom Venelana took in as her goddaughter.

Whenever she faced Mirelia she would feel guilty but Mirelia never blamed her for Celestina's death which only made Venelana feel even more ashamed. 

But she tried her best to be there for Mirelia, with the support of a Satan class devil Mirelia didn't have to deal with any political marriages and didn't have to go to dangerous battlefields.

Venelana took her under her wing and trained her and made sure nothing would happen to her, because due to how much she loved Celestina, Mirelia was like a daughter to her. And Celestina did kind of make her the child's godmother.

Venelana knew she had to marry someone when the time came, she could refuse but that would affect her plans. But marrying Zeoticus was still humiliating for her and her pride wouldn't allow her to see someone like him as her husband.

She still tried to work the relationship out somehow but Zeoticus was someone who thought with his second head rather than his first head. 

And their relationship worsened each time she had to deal with Zeoticus, he would find new ways to make her disgusted with him and even the presence of her son didn't do anything to make their relationship better. 

After the Civil War, their relationship got to a point where they were worse than strangers, Venelana nearly crippled Zeoticus when she heard that he commanded her newly recruited Queen to accompany him in bed.

If it weren't for some considerations and Sirzechs interceding for his father then Zeoticus would have had to live as a eunuch from then on....
