Synopsis: Rigr Stafford, is a mysterious young man who studies at Kuoh Academy in the third year of high school. He was once at the top, but now lives a peaceful life as he flees from his dark past, his days are peaceful but boring, the flow of time for him feels extraordinarily slow, one day just by showing kindness to a silver-haired girl, his life will be forced to return to the world that saw him born and make his way back to the top.

Rigr Stafford, lived a peaceful life. Rigr is an eighteen-year-old boy, tall, with silvery white hair, eyes that look like light-colored sapphire blue jewelry. He lived in Kuoh City, and studied at Kuoh Academy, as a junior in high school.

Young Stafford lived alone, had no parents and therefore had the house to himself, his life consisted of getting up, showering, brushing, eating, going to class, coming home to do his homework and sleeping and repeating the same cycle over and over again. He had no friends, the closest thing to it might be his class teacher Grayfia Einfolk. At the Academy he was called, The Lone Prince.

The days for Rigr were peaceful and somewhat boring; for him, the flow of time felt extraordinarily slow.

But we living beings make hundreds of decisions a day, and without knowing it, those decisions can completely change our lives.

That's the case with Rigr.

One rainy day, Rigr was preparing to return home after a day of school, carrying an umbrella to avoid getting wet.

Then he saw something.

A student from the same academy as him, but not just any student but a young doll-faced girl that Rigr would consider too beautiful and well designed, red pupils that could easily be compared to a Ruby, light skin and long silver hair. Her eyes looked puffy as if she had been crying for a long time, she was sitting in a small alley, her hair along with her clothes were wet. She is Isabella Einfolk, Grayfia's younger sister, and a third year high school student at Kuoh Academy and therefore Rigr's partner.

The first thing Rigr thought of was to go on his way and leave her there, but he had a good heart despite looking cold.

Rigr came over and extended the umbrella to her, ignoring the fact that he was now getting wet. She looked up and Rigr's sapphire blue eyes met Isabella's ruby red eyes.

"At this rate you'll get cold" declared Rigr as Isabella looked on in surprise. "Do you want to go to my house?" the Stafford asked the silver-haired girl as he held out his hand. Isabella hesitated for a few moments, but in the end she accepted.

Unbeknownst to Rigr, that decision would change her life.

… ..

Isabella was in the living room of Rigr's house, looking out the window.

He had a towel around his shoulders, his clothes are now drier and so is his hair, in his hands he had a small cup of hot chocolate.

Rigr approached her, he was no longer dressed in the uniform but in casual clothes.

"Why were you alone in the alley?" Rigr asked curiously.

"I got into a fight with my sister," Isabella replied while looking out the window. Her voice is beautiful and lovely

"Grayfia?" He questioned Rigr while raising an eyebrow.

"Do I have another sister?" Isabella answered as she turned to see Rigr.

Well,' Rigr thought as she looked away, thought of saying something, but decided to keep quiet.

"I'm sorry." Isabella apologized as she took a sip of her hot chocolate. "You offered me to come to your house so I wouldn't be in the rain, you gave me this towel and chocolate so I wouldn't catch cold. It was rude of me to answer you like that" continued the young woman with a blush on her cheeks.

She looks like a princess,' thought Rigr, slightly surprised.

"It's okay, it wasn't my smartest question either." Rigr said. "Sorry to intrude. Why did you fight with Grayfia-Sensei?" Asked the interested Stafford.

Isabella did not respond immediately, but thought about it a little.

"She wouldn't let me go out with my friends," said the silver-haired girl, a little embarrassed.

Rigr looked at him incredulously.

"It's not that simple." The young lady continued quickly. "I've been living here in Kuoh for three years and I haven't even been able to see half the city, whenever my friends have a job to do, my sister won't let me go with them because she thinks it's too dangerous for me to go with them. I got angry with her and brought up a sensitive subject between us, we argued for a few more minutes until I decided to run away from her" confessed Isabella in sorrow.

Young Stafford felt sorry for the young lady. His gaze went up to the ceiling. 'These emotions are troublesome,' Rigr thought as he grimaced.

He looked at Isabella who was looking out of the window and there was some melancholy in her eyes. It was already evening and it had stopped raining.

'Damn' thought Rigr and then sighed.

"Your sister, where is she?" Thoughtful Rigr question.

"At the moment, possibly busy with her work, she shouldn't arrive at our apartment until very late" Isabella answered, although she looked a little confused by Rigr's question.

"Well" declared Rigr as he got up from his seat and walked to the entrance, but he stopped and looked at Isabella who was looking at him curiously.

"Come on, I'll show you the city" Rigr declared and Isabella's gaze lit up.

Isabella smiled and within seconds she was following Rigr around the city.

….

Isabella's surprised look as they passed a street full of shops was priceless. Young Einfolk's eyes shone with interest.

"Rigr-San let's go into this store" Isabella asked while Rigr nodded and then followed her.

It's a clothing store, Isabella saw several clothes and dresses, but Rigr noticed that she seemed to be fascinated by one in particular.

The ensemble consisted of a burgundy red blouse with a brooch, a white skirt, white boots up to the thighs and black stockings. The young Stafford approached her.

"Do you like it?" Rigr asked with his eyes fixed on Isabella.

"Hey, no," Isabella replied as she looked away with a blush on her cheeks.

"You're a bad liar," said Rigr. "If you like it, I can buy it for you." He continued the Stafford.

"I couldn't accept it is too expensive" declared Isabella as she shook her head. After all, the whole outfit is branded clothing.

"Don't worry about the money, I'll take care of it," said Rigr when he asked a store clerk. Despite Isabella's pleas not to buy it, Rigr didn't listen to her

When they left the store, Isabella seemed embarrassed to carry the bag containing the set.

"I still can't believe it." This is Isabella in shame.

"Don't worry, it's nothing." I dismiss Rigr.

"But" Isabella started, but was interrupted by the Stafford.

"I'm not going to be able to show you the whole city today. Therefore, the least I can do is to make you have good memories" declared Rigr when the look of both met.

Isabella blushed, but Rigr didn't take much notice and went on her way. Isabella reacted and followed him quickly.

But there was something that made them stop. There was a young man walking towards them. The young man is muscular with skin so fair that it looked bright white dyed green, decorated with a thick blue mass, short bright pink hair, and yellow eyes that tilt inward with pink eyelashes. "Upper moon three." He wore a short, sleeveless haori of dark purple pink that was cut at his waist, left open to expose his chest, which was decorated with a square pattern on the back. Below this, he wore a pair of loose white pants that were rolled up just below the knee with a blue rope belt to secure them at his waist, other than that he was barefoot.

People looked at him in wonder at his dress and his marks, and those strange eyes. Isabella unconsciously approached Rigr.

"Traitor" whispered the young man in Rigr's ear as he passed by, low enough that he did not reach Isabella's ears.

The young Stafford turned to see him as he walked away, but one hand held Isabella's hand.

"Rigr-San let's continue to see the city" said Isabella with a smile that Rigr noticed it was forced.

Isabella, your hand is sweating' thought Rigr, but decided not to comment, it would be better to forget this meeting.

Everything continued without problems after that, after buying Isabella's clothes they continued to show her the city, Rigr showed her other clothes shops, but Isabella was not interested in another outfit, then they went to the aquarium where the face of joy that Isabella showed when she saw the fish was priceless. Then they went to a play center where Rigr won a teddy bear for Isabella.

And finally they were now in a very expensive restaurant and the best in Kuoh City. Both were already sitting at the table, seeing what they were going to order. Isabella moved uncomfortably in her chair as she looked at the menu.

"Rigr-San, I don't know if this is right, you already bought me a very expensive outfit and you also won me a teddy bear, dinner and more in such an expensive restaurant" I speak Isabella in an insecure tone.

"Don't worry, as I said I couldn't show you the whole city, I didn't show you the Karaoke or the park and other points of interest. The least I can do is take you to dinner at the best and most expensive restaurant in town" commented Rigr trying to make Isabella feel better.

"But" Isabella began, her gaze turned to her skirt where her hands clenched helplessly. "I'll never be able to repay you for what I did today." Isabella revealed her sadness.

"I didn't do this so you'd pay me back one day," Rigr confessed, making Isabella look at him. "But if you insist that you have to pay for it in a way then the best way to pay for it is to smile, that will show me that I did not do wrong by taking you here" declared Rigr as his gaze met Isabella's.

Isabella's ruby red eyes glowed with happiness, she gave a beautiful smile that shone as warmly as the sun, Rigr felt her cheeks turn red. A pair of tears of joy came from Isabella's eyes.

For the first time all day Rigr almost smiled.

They both ordered their respective meals, although Rigr seemed distracted as not far from them there was a couple. There was a tall, plump woman with brown eyes and long, dark blue hair that obscured her right eye. Her attire consisted of a maroon gabardine top, wide neck, matching miniskirt, and black high heels. The top of the raincoat was open on her chest, giving a view of her breasts and neckline. She also wore a gold necklace around her neck. She appears to be wearing a white shirt underneath the top, but it can only be seen from below. And the other is a middle-aged man with short black hair and dark blue eyes. His attire consisted of a pale gray raincoat over a white dress shirt with a matching shoe, black pants and shoes, a pair of black gloves, and a hat of the same color.

Rigr felt that this couple had been following them the whole time. Which I miss, but he decided to ignore them.

After finishing the meal came the desserts where Rigr asked for something simple, while Isabella asked for a chocolate ice cream and some dangos which it is worth mentioning that she loved both of them.

But in the end all good things must come to an end, it was already night and very late, Rigr had accompanied Isabella to her apartment now they were at the entrance to the building.

Isabella moved nervously and with some fear of meeting her older sister.

"Do you want me to be there when they meet?" I ask Rigr looking at Isabella.

"No... I'm the one who started the fight, I'm the one who has to solve it" Isabella answered with determination. "But... I don't know what to say to her, I don't know what I can see in her face." Isabella continued. "What if she's still angry about the subject I brought up in the morning?" The red-eyed girl ended with doubt.

"I doubt that very much," Rigr replied by having Isabella look at him. "I don't know Grayfia-Sensei as much as you do, she doesn't talk about you much, but she has talked about you sometimes, and on those occasions the only thing I can perceive about her is the great love she has for you, so you don't need to be afraid of her. If you want to tell her something, it should be fine. Because Grayfia-Sensei. She has loved you all this time, Einfolk-San. If you don't know what to say to her start by apologizing for bringing up a delicate subject between you, you should know that happiness is like a crystal if you don't take good care of it it can break into a thousand pieces and it may never be repaired again" explained Rigr for the first time she had smiled, she smiled in a warm way. When Isabella saw his smile she felt that he was as red as a tomato.

"How do you know happiness is a crystal?" I question Isabella with interest, and her cheeks are still red. She received no answer, but had a hint when Rigr's smile changed from a warm to a melancholy one.

"It's late, you should go in." Rigr commented by dodging the question.

Isabella nodded and headed for the door of the building, but stopped and turned to look at Rigr.

"Rigr-San, you should smile more often. Well, your smile is very beautiful" declared Isabella with a smile and then entered the building.

The young Stafford was surprised, but after a few seconds he turned around and started his way home.

He asked himself mentally, Rigr, as he looked up at the crescent moon in the sky.

… .

The next day Rigr was dressed in his student uniform and was about to go to class, at the door of the academy something suddenly pulled him by the arm.

Isabella was grabbing her arm and putting it between her big breasts.

"Good morning, Rigr-San." I greet Isabella with a big smile.

"He returned the greeting Rigr, although you could tell he was confused by the way Isabella greeted him.

"Can you call me Isabella, can I call you Rigr?" I ask Isabella hopefully.

Rigr meditated for a few seconds before responding. "Yes, of course there is no problem, Isabella," Rigr replied, although he still seemed to be puzzled by this course of events.

"Ara, Ara, it seems that the silver-haired Princess has enchanted the lonely Prince." He said a familiar voice for Rigr and Isabella. A young woman of the same age as both approached them, the extremely beautiful young woman comparable to Isabella, has a voluptuous figure that matched Isabella's, she has long black hair tied in a ponytail and violet eyes.

"Himejima-San/Akeno" said Rigr and Isabella to see the young black-haired girl.

Isabella squeezed Rigr's arm tighter. The black-haired young woman is Himejima Akeno, a companion of Isabella and Rigr.

"Ara, Rigr-San it seems that you and Isabella have become quite close in a short time" declared Akeno as he approached the duo.

"What are you planning? Akeno" Isabella asked as she frowned.

"What's the matter? Can't I go near Rigr-San too?" Akeno replied as his hand hid a smile.

Rigr felt as if lightning were coming out of the gaze between Akeno and Isabella. Why do I feel like I'm just a piece of meat?' Rigr wondered mentally.

"This one, this one, we could calm down" said nervously a young woman who possesses a wonderful beauty that hardly felt real, she seemed to be someone from France, eyes of a blue-gray color completely pure. The young woman is a year younger than Akeno, Isabella and Rigr, she did not have a bust as big as the two young women mentioned above, but Rigr felt that in time she would equal them. Rigr had seen this young woman several times, Yumi Kiba the younger twin sister of Yuuto Kiba.

"But we are completely calm," Akeno said with a smile, while his gaze met Isabella's and there seemed to be an electric spark in that duel of glances.

"Akeno" sounded a familiar voice to all three, an exceptionally beautiful young woman, as beautiful as Akeno and Isabella approached the trio, the young woman has white skin, a figure on par with Isabella and Akeno, she has long beautiful crimson hair that reaches her thighs, she has a breast that overhangs at the top. Her hair also has loose bangs that cover her forehead and side bangs that frame her face and blue eyes. None other than Rias Gremory.

"Ara, what's up, Rias?" I question Akeno by looking at the redhead.

"You don't think you're overdoing it, you're just doing this to have fun and make fun of Isabella." Rias replied.

Akeno chuckled amusingly. "I do not know what you are talking about, Rigr-San is truly handsome and attractive, I am just another woman who fell before this beautiful lone prince," Akeno declared as he grabbed Rigr's available arm, though his tone was brimming with amusement. It wasn't that she was in love with Rigr, she was just doing it for fun.

Someone cleared their throat behind them to get attention. None other than Grayfia. Grayfia is an inhumanly beautiful young woman in her early twenties with silver hair down her back that has a long braid on each side with small blue ribbons at the ends, while the rest is dropped, ending in twin braids and red eyes.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but at this rate you'll be late for your classes", commented Grayfia in a monotone voice.

"Right. Come on Rigr we'll be late" declared Isabella as she pulled on one of Rigr's arms and he was forced to follow her.

"Ara, don't get ahead of yourself," Akeno said as he let out a small laugh and followed them.

"Hey, watch out you can fall" This is Yumi speaking as she chased Akeno and Isabella.

Rias sighed and followed them, though more calmly and Grayfia quietly followed Rias.

For Rigr, time always passed so slowly that it seemed to be stagnating, and it began to flow again.

… ..

Classes were over and Rigr was packing up her supplies to start her journey home. She had stayed late helping Grayfia.

Isabella had stayed to wait for her sister and Rigr.

"Everything is ready now," confessed Grayfia as she looked at Rigr. "Thank you for staying to help me, Rigr-San." Continued the silver-haired woman.

"No problem." He dismissed Rigr while shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, then if you're done, Nee-Sama, can I go with Rigr?" Isabella asked hopefully as she positioned herself next to Rigr.

"Yes, you could," answered Grayfia and instantly Isabella's face lit up. "But, you can't, not today. You have your duties with Rias and the club." Grayfia continued.

"But, I could do them another day" Objection Isabella unhappy

"No, you have to be responsible with your duties" declared Grayfia and Isabella could do nothing but pout that Rigr would describe as adorable.

"But, Rigr needs me to get to her house, otherwise she could get lost" commented Isabella sadly still trying to convince her sister even though she knew it was a lost cause.

Am I a baby who doesn't know where his house is?' thought Rigr.

Young Stafford sighed. "Don't worry about me, your sister is right, you have a responsibility and you must fulfill it," said Rigr as his gaze met Isabella's.

"Good" I speak Isabella defeated and then retired.

"Well, I guess it's time for me to retire," Rigr declared as he walked to the door.

"Rigr" I call Grayfia making young Stafford stop. "I want to tell you that when I found out that you had taken Isabella to see the city knowing that I don't let her do that she was very angry, but after seeing how happy she was I can only say... Thank you" confessed Grayfia while showing a smile. "But next time ask my permission, okay?" She ended Grayfia.

Rigr had a very small laugh. "After saying that, Rigr set out to leave, but on the stairs she met a young woman who was waiting for them.

"Gremory-San" Rigr couldn't help but sound surprised.

"Stafford-San, I've been waiting for you," said Rias with his eyes on Rigr.

"And what would that be for?" Question Rigr confused.

"To thank you, Grayfia will have already thanked you as Isabella's sister, but it is my duty as her oldest friend to thank you for making her happy" commented Rias with a smile as he looked out the window.

Rigr approached to see what Rias was seeing, through the window Isabella could be seen talking happily to Akeno.

"Honestly, I didn't do anything special, I just showed him the city, that's all. That's no reason to be so cheerful." Rigr is a little confused.

"Just the opposite" Rias began by drawing Rigr's attention. "Where we come from, she is always seen as special and treated as a unique person, she is literally treated as if she were a princess, and she didn't like that, she wants to be seen as someone normal and you gave her that yesterday, you saw her as a young girl of her age and you helped her overcome the problems she had that day with her sister, You fulfilled her desire to see the city without having the obligation to do so, you bought her memories that she would treasure forever, that's why she's so happy, I honestly don't remember seeing her so happy" declared Rias while looking at Isabella with a smile, but Rigr could see some sadness in her tone, as if she expected to be treated that way.

"Just what anyone would do, I didn't do anything special." He dismissed Rigr as shrugging.

Rias smiled and went up to him, handed him a piece of paper. Rigr accepted the slip of paper, though he missed it. The slip of paper said something strange, "We will grant your wish." These were the words that were written on the slip of paper, apart from those words there was a strange circle that Rigr recognized.

The young redhead walked away. "You are a very kind and unique person, Rigr. If there is any way I can repay you for what you did for my friend, don't hesitate to let me know." Rias said as he walked away.

'What are you planning? Rias Gremory' thought Rigr as he watched her walk away.

… ..

It was night and Rigr had not yet returned home, but was in one of Kuoh's city parks. The reason he was there, he was easily followed. Rigr was standing in front of the fountain.

"You know I know you're there, you can come out." Rigr spoke as he admired the water in the fountain.

A few yards behind Rigr came out the navy blue-haired woman who had been in the restaurant while Isabella and Rigr were eating.

"What a surprise, you knew I was following you" said the slightly surprised woman.

"Since I left the academy," Rigr confessed as he shrugged.

"And you came to this park to confront your death, poor thing. It really is a shame to kill such a beautiful young man." The woman declared. "But an order is an order, and besides you were wrong, it's not just me. Mittelt!" The woman continued to exclaim the last part.

From Rigr's left side a light lance shot out in the direction of killing him, quickly the Stafford moved and narrowly avoided the lance.

A girl with blond hair combed into two tails with blue eyes and wearing a gothic lolita outfit, revealed herself. That girl must have been Mittelt and the one who had made an attempt on Rigr's life.

Damn I'm at a disadvantage, I'd better run away,' thought Rigr when he suddenly spat a lot of blood from his mouth.

He felt a burning in his stomach and came down to realize that a lance of light was passing through him.

"I'm sorry, kid. Unfortunately for you we are not just two, but three. If you want to blame someone, blame Grigori's top brass, who consider you a threat." I declare an attractive young woman with black hair and purple eyes, big breasts and dressed in a revealing outfit. The young woman, like the other two girls, pulled out crow's wings.

Rigr fell down. There was some blood coming out of the corner of her lips from the wound in her abdomen. He already knew the name of the high command of Grigori who had sent him to kill, but that no longer mattered.

'Damn this is the end of me' thought Rigr somewhat sad. "What did I expect to die a hero? This is the end I deserve, after all I'm a piece of garbage.

"You are a very kind and unique person, Rigr." Rias Gremory's words came to mind.

You're wrong Gremory-San, I'm nothing special, I didn't achieve anything in my life, I couldn't protect what was dear to me, kind? Me? I did a lot of bad things and in the end I didn't achieve anything with it. I am a man without value' I reflect Rigr with sadness.

"Rigr-San, you should smile more often. Well, your smile is very beautiful." Now were Isabella's words that came to her mind.

'End the smile of many innocents, only because of the selfish desire of others. I don't have the right to smile' thought Rigr. 'Damn my eyesight is blurred... it's the end' continued the line of thought the young Stafford when his eyesight began to darken.

Suddenly a beautiful humming came to his mind, something he had been doing for a long time. Rigr felt that he was a child again and was in his Mother's arms.

Kaa-san' Rigr's thoughts turned to his mother. In the end I did not manage to live as you wanted me to live.

In the little vision left to the Stafford, an exceptionally beautiful woman appeared, literally seeing her was seeing a goddess, the woman appeared to be in her early twenties, white skin, long silvery white hair like Rigr with hazel eyes. She wore a beautiful white and gold dress.

The woman looked at Rigr with a friendly smile.

Kaa-san' recognized Rigr in his thoughts of the woman. Seeing her Rigr immediately began to meditate.

I cannot die, my Mother gave her life so that I could live a good life, I will give my life for your beliefs Kaa-San, I will commit my sword and my own life for them. And I must live to avenge all that those bastards did to you' thought Rigr when the little piece of paper Rias had given him lit up.

Suddenly a magic circle emerged from the paper, and from it Rias turned his gaze to a dying Rigr. His beautiful crimson red hair was waving in the wind, Rigr could see that Rias' look was thoughtful, as if he was deciding the best plan of action.

"You're about to die," Rias acknowledged when he saw Rigr's condition. "I won't let that happen, as payment for showing kindness to one of my most precious friends I'll save you, so live for me... my new knight." It was the last thing Rigr could hear before she was lost in unconsciousness.
