CH.2 The Tyrant's Kingdom

While waiting for dinner, Ravel is brushing her hair while thinking about what dinner is going to be like with the Tyrant Red Dragon Emperor. She heard things get intense, and wonders what that means. From what she heard, things could be like.

"FEED ME WITH YOUR BODIES AS MY PLATE!" She imagines with the women lying on their backs as Issei uses them as plates, or even.

"THIS FOOD IS TERRIBLE! I'M NOT GOING TO EAT THIS CRAP, SO YOU CAN WEAR IT!" This time, she thinks him throwing the food at the maids and covering them with messy food.

Or even "I'M DONE, NOW LICK MY PLATE CLEAN." Now she imagines him forcing the girls to clean the plates by licking them.

She shivers at the thought, but she must make good impressions since he is backing down from attacking parts of the underworld. But a big problem is she doesn't actually know where this palace even is, because the view outside is hard to see because of how dark it is outside the windows. She gets dressed and readies for what she must face and is escorted by a maid to dining room.

Dining Room

Issei's wives have all gathered here for their daily argument. They all make their cases when Asia shouts "Today is my turn! I haven't gotten my turn in over a week."

But Irina argues "That's because your chest is too small for his great thirst."

Akeno intrudes as she holds her bosom and says "That's right, so it means that it's perfectly fine that I use my body to sate his thirst."

Flustered, Asia argues "No, he has a light thirst, so my smaller breasts make more sense, Akeno."

Seeing an opportunity, Koneko interjects "Then mine are better. I'm like a shot glass for him."

While the others argue, Kuroka seizes opportunity when Issei shows up and the others continue to argue and she sits next to him while grabbing a bottle of wine and holds her large boobs together and pours some wine between them and says "Here, hubby, drink up."

The others fail to notice as Issei smiles perversely at Kuroka, she's won this round beyond a doubt. Xenovia even comments "She's like an assassin for getting Issei's perversion."

The others pout for the moment until Asia and Akeno bring in the food. Ravel walks into the dining room while Issei drinks the wine from Kuroka's cleavage as she moans from pleasure.

Upon seeing this, Ravel says "Oh man is this something he makes them do? It's so perverted and gross."

She sits down and is presented a plate of food that looks amazing, as Asia and Akeno's cooking legendary and they only do it for the entire family on rare occasions. Kuroka picks up chop sticks and feeds Issei herself as he opens his mouth while the other girls watch with jealousy. Now Ravel understands what he meant.

A boob chalice aside, the dinner exceedingly well as Ravel drinks and eats the food and Issei is very complimenting towards Akeno and Asia. He is very grateful to them for their cooking and he even makes room for Koneko to sit on his lap while Kuroka feeds him, and of course eats herself.

After some minutes of silence and brief conversation, Issei swallows some food and asks "So, how did everything go?" He refers to his wives' missions he assigned them.

Of course, Akeno and Asia are exempt due to how tasty their meal is, but Kuroka mentions while giving him another bite "I got little miss fire bird settled into her room."

Ravel confirms this by saying "It's true, she did show me everything in my room and showed me around a little."

Xenovia explains "As you requested, I ordered the soldiers to remain on the frontlines but don't attack and I called back our more powerful units."

Koneko simply states "I told them to kick back or else."

Hearing that his wives fulfilled their duties makes him smile and he tells them all "I'm really happy to hear that. I thank all of you for being so great at helping me make this faction so great. In fact…" He raises a real glass in the air as the girls hold up wine, but Asia and Kuroka have water instead as Issei declares "To our faction!" They all cheer and share a victorious drink.

Ravel is relieved to hear that Issei kept his word to her and eats her meal without any worries. She thinks that she may have misjudged him, until dessert. The dessert was made by Asia, cheesecake with chocolate topping and whipped cream.

Issei loves this and he enthusiastically eats it with a happy expression with Koneko and Kuroka still eating while sitting on his lap, but, he eats it so fast that he fails to notice he gets some chocolate on his face.

Not letting the opportunity slide, Koneko licks his face in front of the other girls, making them all jealous. That's when it hits Ravel like a cannon ball as she thinks "Wait? They actually WANT to jump his gun without being told!? How horny are these ladies?"

After dinner is finished, Issei decides to approach Ravel, who fears him less, and asks her "Did you enjoy your first day here?"

Ravel looks unsure when she timidly admits "Well…I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy it. The food was good, and the maids are nice."

He simply smiles and replies "Well, that's a start."

After this, a maid rushes into the dining room in a panic and announces "My Emperor, I have a message from one of our returning squads."

Issei's demeanor turns serious as he asks "What happened?"

The maid explains "Some servants from the house of Phenex have attacked one of our squads. The elites are injured, and they're backed into a corner."

Confused, Issei asks "How, my forces should be stronger than them?"

The maid has no idea as she's just the messenger and then Issei looks at Ravel with anger and demands to know "Did you know about this?"

Ravel cowers and swears "No, I had no idea. I swear I didn't, Emperor."

Appearing from nowhere, Ophis admits "She's telling the truth. I placed a spell on her that makes her incapable of lying."

Issei nods and then tells her "Fine, but we're going to talk about this when I get back." To which Ravel looks scared because she has no idea what's going on.

Issei then says "Xenovia, Akeno, and Irina, you're all with me. The others make sure the kids get back here safely. If they're hitting our troops, our kids aren't safe outside the palace."

With their duties clear, they all don normal battle attire with Akeno putting on her Miko and Irina with Xenovia putting on their former church attire. With some additions, Xenovia conjures her own blue Boosted Gear with a yellow gem on her right hand and Irina does the same but hers is on the left and it's white with a red gem. Rossweisse summons a crown as her weapon, a white crown with a pink gem resembling a dragon Sacred Gear with spikes that hang over her face like a guard. Asia summons a pair of silver bracelets with green gems that glow like the Boosted Gear. Koneko and Kuroka summon belts with chains that wrap around their tails with Koneko's being white with a yellow gem, and Kuroka's being black and also a red gem. While Akeno summons her collar. The teams split up go their ways.

Underworld

Issei and his team move to the underworld immediately with a magic circle and are greeted by a terrible sight. Issei sees his soldiers, warriors wearing armor invoking dragons, lying on the ground. This causes him to become enraged as he stares at his soldiers in a pitiful state and some dead, and he wants payback.

He looks over at distance of this wasteland in the underworld and sees the attackers, a group of fifteen devils, one man and fourteen women. He asks "Which one of you killed my soldiers?"

His question not falling on deaf ears, the man approaches and mentions "Riser thought they needed punishing. After all, they work for someone who took Ravel from us."

Issei retorts "I didn't want Ravel as a peace offering. I would have preferred toys for my kids."

Riser takes this as an insult to his family and gathers his peerage and declares "No need to mince words, we're here to take you and end your attacks in the underworld."

Now Issei takes this as an insult and what he does is unconventional as he summons a throne from the ground and sits while saying "If you want me, then you'll to take me from this seat."

His wives summon their weapons with Xenovia using her Durandal EX being forged with help from the dragons. Irina has a Katana made from the fangs of different evil dragons. Then, the three of them, Irina, Xenovia, and Akeno, all glow with dark auras.

Riser's queen, Yubelluna fires magic at Issei but it's blocked by Xenovia stepping forward and blocking it with her own Boosted Gear and it doesn't even faze her at all.

Issei comments "You're not going to get me as long as they protect me."

Akeno shoots her holy lightning at Riser's entire peerage, but this lightning in extremely more dangerous and has a black coloring. They dodge it and scatter around with Irina and Xenovia chasing after them. Akeno ends up fighting with Yubelluna while Irina and Xenovia split the other twelve as Riser continues to shoot magic at Issei to hit him, but each magical attack is blocked by either Akeno summoning a barrier to protect him or Irina and Xenovia shooting shockwaves with their swords to protect him.

Before long, Riser is greeted by a horrifying image, he sees multiple bodies slamming into each other and then Yubelluna falls from the sky with blank eyes and her body suddenly catches fire and burns to ash within moments. He looks around and sees that his entire peerage was massacred within minutes of the fight starting. He looks towards the sky and sees three dragons, but it's only Issei's wives wearing armor much like the scale mail he wears but with alterations. Akeno's is black with bird-like black wings that radiate energy feathers as she floats and she has a yellow and red aura. Xenovia's is blue but has a slightly bulkier figure as her Durandal looks normal in size compared to her armor. Irina's is white and slimmer and is built more for movement and speed. They all have a black evil aura around them. They are covered in blood from their slain foes and lower down to join their husband.

Riser looks afraid as Issei tells him "Looks like you ain't stopping anything." To which the devil noble falls to his knees and the Tyrant adds "And I hope Lucifer is going to make this up to me." before he leaves with his wives in a magic circle after retrieving his soldiers.

Palace

It only took a short time for this trip, and Ravel barely had time to leave the dining room with her worries weighing her down and she hears Issei voice saying "We're back." and looks to see the three girls carrying bloody weapons and Akeno smells of ash.

Ravel's eyes widen when she sees this and asks "You didn't…."

Issei walks up to Ravel and tells her with an ominous look "I'm not going to let anybody attack my crew like that." He explains that it was Riser who attacked his soldiers but Issei admits "I didn't kill your brother, but the others killed his team."

Irina, Akeno, and Xenovia all have cold eyes when this is said, like they couldn't care less about what they did. Ravel is beyond words because she knew all of them, and Issei tells her that they're gone, killed in a matter of minutes.

But Issei mentions that he's going to want compensation for the attack and Ravel declares "I hate you!" before she runs away from him with tears falling from her eyes.

Akeno looks at her husband and kindly asks "Are you okay with that?" since Issei seems a little shaken by that declaration.

But he only replies "Many people hate me. It's nothing new." As he wonders if the other arrived back with the children.

Before too long, the others are gathered with five children, all of them are very small, between three years old and a few months. The five children are Xenovia's, Asia's, Irina's, Akeno's, and Rossweisse's. Most of them have a piece of pizza in their hands, except the smallest one, Akeno's, as he's being fed with a bottle by Mittelt. The three fallen angels are being protected by the other four wives since they mostly are just personal maids of Issei and his children.

Once the children are known to be safe, another ally of Issei's warps into the palace to greet him and immediately asks "Aren't we being a little too cautious with the kids, Issei?" He looks and sees Vali Lucifer standing next to him.

Issei smiles and rebukes "When it comes to my kids, nothing is too cautious."

Smiling, Vali conveys "Yeah, I'll let you have that one."

With the two heavenly dragons present, Ddraig comes in and asks "Albion, how are things in the grove?

To which the white dragon answers "It's good. We've seen many more dragons birthed. Our numbers are growing by the year."

Issei smiles "That's great!" He says with a big smile. He then tells Vali about what just went down in the underworld and the Phenex family.

Vali shrugs and says "You should have let me in that on that action."

Wishing that he could have let Vali handle that fight, Issei shrugs and reminds him "Yeah, but I'm just too impulsive at times."

Sensing distress in his partner, Ddraig tells him "Do not beat yourself for this. Wanting to kill your enemies for harming your men is natural. I would not tolerate it myself."

Being snarky, Vali asks "Oh, got a little trouble paradise?"

To which Issei explains to his close ally about Ravel and that he had servants of her house killed for attacking his soldiers.

Vali steps to the side and assures his comrade "Don't let that get you down. We're in the business of taking stuff from people. Not exactly a friendly venture." He walks away a little and then remembers Oh yeah, did you get Kuroka got pregnant yet?"

Issei rubs the back of his head and Ddraig answers "Oh yeah he did."

This causes Vali to grin "Good. Hopefully it'll turn out to be a good opponent in the future." He says before walking off to get something to eat. Issei wishes Vali wouldn't make plans to fight his kids, but that's Vali's nature for you.

After Vali leaves, Issei is approached by a maid that bows to him and says "My emperor, I'm sorry to disturb you, but you have business scheduled in a while and you wished to be reminded."

He understands and gets moving on. He has scheduled meetings with the other factions and other gods to make deals with them, and this is going to be tough but manageable. The next step is going to be getting Ravel to open up again, but after this little issue, that's going to prove difficult. Something that Ophis doesn't like because she wants something from Ravel after meeting her. But before that, he has another duty to attend to as Irina and Xenovia come back holding pieces of armor.

Ravel's Room

Ravel is crying into her pillow and thinking about Issei and his wives decimated her brother's servants, her thoughts are about taking revenge on Issei. She stands up and shoots fire at the wall with the thoughts of burning this palace to the ground.

Once the smoke clears, "So, the spoiled little chicken princess is throwing a fit." A voice says in a monotone manner.

Ravel sees Koneko at the doorway and demands "You stay out of my room! I don't want anything to do with you monsters or your deranged emperor."

Koneko's body begins emitting a black aura that oddly causes Ravel's body to shake as Koneko threatens "Speaking bad about Ise isn't recommended in these parts, bird girl."

Despite her body shaking, Ravel musters the courage to tell Koneko "I don't' care. He's a monster, and he hurt my brother."

"Is that what you think?"Koenko asks and then remarks "Then I've got something to show you."

Not wanting to argue with one of the tyrant emperor's wives, Ravel stands and hopes that Koenko will just throw her out our do anything to get her out of this palace. She takes her through this palace, a massive structure filled with red décor and many statues of dragons. The windows are dark with red drapes.

?

Ravel and Koneko walk into a room with a large mirror being cleaned by a maid, who is moves out of the way when Koneko says they need the room. She approaches the mirror and holds up her dragon Sacred Gear and says "Show the grove, mirror." Then the mirror glows and reveals an image. It looks like a small town, like a rural or urban area and Issei is seen with Irina and Xenovia while they wear red robes with green accents and have sorrowful looks on their faces.

Wondering what's going on, Ravel asks "What on earth is going on here?"

"This place is how Ise keeps an eye on his stuff. He used to use it to peep on us until he remembered we'd have sex with him." She explains as Ravel blushes. "But what we're looking at is our town that we made."

Issei approaches a home in this town and knocks on the door as a woman dressed like a housewife opens the door. She at first looks happy to see him, but they soon start talking and then the housewife looks surprised by something as Issei shows her a piece of armor, which causes her to breakdown in tears and fall to her knees. Then, two children show up from inside the house.

Koneko glares and says "He tells the families himself. Your brother killed that lady's husband and left her a widow with two kids." They watch more and more as Issei visits more houses with different family members like husbands, siblings, and parents are told that their family died.

Seeing Issei do this to all these families is a lot to see. But Ravel had no idea because Issei visits over fifteen families. Others, the ones who survived, look relieved and happy when they are brought home.

"You think Ise is bad; just look at what your brother did. He destroyed families after Ise promised to back off for a while. Think on that." She says as she leaves Ravel alone in this room.

Later

Ravel walks down the hallway and reflects a little after being shown that image. He's called a tyrant who slew Kokabiel and decimated parts of the underworld. He killed many warriors from the church and took their holy swords, and he has the sister of Lucifer in his prison, but he treats his loved ones kindly, he cares for his people, and is hailed as a hero here. It just confuses her, but she won't forgive him for what he did to her brother. But she would like to see him.

She approaches his door and sees that it's partially opened. She hears voices a little and looks inside out of curiosity and before she can see inside, she hears moaning. She looks inside the doorway and what she sees brings surprise to her face because she sees Irina sitting on top of Issei with her eyes closed and she is moving up and with his hands on her hips. The other wives are in the room but it appears that they have to wait.

Ravel sees the two and her face turns red, but she can't look away. It makes her feel strange as her hand seemingly moves on its own as she grabs her bosom and begins to feel pleasure and uses one of her hands to reach under her skirt and feels wet as she places her hand under her panties and begins to feel good as she plays with herself. She enjoys herself for a minute.

"Enjoying the show." A voice says as Ravel immediately stops and nearly has a heart attack and turns to see Ophis eating a chocolate bar.

Ravel still has a blush when she lightly says "I swear, I was only pleasuring myself because it looked good…" She covers her mouth because she can't believe she said that.

Ophis grins and reminds her "Remember, I put a spell on you that prevents you from lying." She looks inside and closes the door while asking "You want to know more about him?"

Ravel listens inside a bit more and considers that idea. Maybe if she knew more about him, the more sense things will make as she asks "Can you tell me how he got started?"'

Ophis nods and says "I'll tell you about everything you want. After all, you have a debt to him now." She then invites Ravel to join her in another room as she tells Issei's origins to becoming the Tyrant Dragon Emperor.
