  ....

  Riser Phenex, hearing my words, was furious. But thinking back to how everyone else had reacted earlier, he burst into ughter.

  "Hmph, you think you fool me? Rias and everyone else's reas were clearly off. You think you deceive This Riser Phenex? You're still wet behind the ears, hahaha!"

  "Oh? I didn't know this 'turkey' had a brain!" I said, pouting.

  "Hahaha, of course! I am Riser Phenex, after all!"

  "Hmm? Wait a minute, did you just call me a turkey again, you bastard? I am the immortal Phoenix! Don't mistake me for some kind of fool. Or I'll burn you to ashes."

  I preteo be indifferent, then threatened him. "I know about you and Rias. But you're not engaged yet, so don't act like you own her. Rias is a woman I've set my sights on. Keep ag up, and I'll make yret it!"

  "What...? You, you bastard!" Riser, hearing my threat, grew even angrier, looking as if he were about to lose trol.

  Although he didn't particurly care about the e, as he wasn't fond of girls like Rias, the marriage was well-known throughout the Underworld.

  It olitical unioween the Gremory and Phenex families.

  So, even if he didn't care about the e personally, he couldn't back down for the sake of his family's honor.

  Otherwise, not only would his family lose face, but he would also bee a ughingsto the Underworld.

  ....

  Seeing Riser on the verge of exploding, I activated my [Rinnegan]. Both of us were ready to attack at any moment.

  Rias, seeing this, quickly stepped in front of me, shielding me from Riser.

  "Kyoya-kun, thank you for wanting to help, but this won't solve the problem. Si's my issue, I should be the oo resolve it. But thank you, I really appreciate it."

  Rias smiled gently at me.

  "Alright, if that's what you want. But I'll be watg. And I'll say it again: Rias is my woman." I deactivated my [Rinnegan] and sat back down on the sofa.

  Rias blushed at my decration.

  The irls in the Occult Research Club looked at Rias with envy, while Akeno's expression darkened, and she woo herself, 'You may have saved Rias, but will you save me iure?'

  ....

  Meanwhile, Ravel Phenex was looking at me with curiosity. To challehe Phenex family for Rias, it was like a hero proteg a princess.

  As a young girl, after hearing the stories read by the butlers, she had dreamed of being a girl who supported heroes. So now, fag me, Ravel couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart.

  "Oh, Rias, have you decided to accept our families' arra?" Riser retracted the fmes of the Phoenix, g me, and then turo Rias with a fmboyant air.

  Rias crossed her arms, her gaze sharp as she looked at Riser. She said coldly, "Hmph, Listen carefully, Riser Phenex—I am not a weak woman. Even if it's an arranged marriage, I will never marry you."

  "Tsk, that's why I don't like women like you." Riser clicked his tongue. "However, this is about the alliaween our two families. You have no room to resist. But the family has given you a ce."

  Just then, another red magic circle appeared in the room.

  When the red light faded, a woman in a maid's uniform appeared.

  Seeing the bck-haired maid, Rias's expression turned serious. "Evelyn, are you here to persuade me on behalf of Onii-sama?"

  The maid, Evelyn, performed a formal curtsy to both Rias and Riser, then turo Rias with a serious expression. "Good evening, Rias-sama. I am here on behalf of Sirzechs-sama to vey the Gremory family's message regarding yagement."

  Suddenly, I asked, a little fused, "Evelyn? Who is she...?"

  "Evelyn-sama is Rias-sama's older brother's top aide. She serves Sirzechs Lucifer-sama, as his 'Queen'." Akeno expined.

  "Then what about Grayfia?" I asked after looking at Evelyn and thinking for a moment.

  Hearing me ask about Grayfia, Akeno was surprised, then answered with a hint of suspi, "Eh? Kyoya-kun, do you know about Grayfia? Grayfia is known as the stro Queen in the Underworld, sed only to the Freat Maous in status. She's known as the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihition. But she currently serves no one."

  "Kyoya-kun, are you ied in the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihition?"
