Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Alluring Angel. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own DxD, Ichiei Ishibumi and a few others do.

Rias watched as Corvus looked at Koneko. The Hybrid blinked and titled his head at her in confusion.

"I told you, the kid is like a crocodile. He can be ruthless and brutal when he needs to be, but he's docile like this the rest of the time… Kid has been in combat so many times he's better at breaking someone's ribs…" Sol stated to Rias. She didn't respond.

"I want you to know that if your Queen keeps making advances on the kid, I'm shielding the kid in his armor… He trusts you a lot more then you think…." Rias rolled her eyes and sighed.

Rias knew Akeno wouldn't stop making advances on Corvus… Granted, it seemed more like it was just a way of getting a rise out of both him and her… She knew her second in command didn't like Fallen Angels, so that seemed more likely.

"You said his memory was scrambled in chunks." Rias walked into the room as Corvus blinked and cocked his head at her.

Rias would be lying if she didn't find it cute. Sol continued to speak up.

He knew the kid was none the wiser, he understood magic and such, but Corvus didn't see Rias as an enemy… He saw her not as an ally yet either.

Rias took a seat in front of him and began to use her magic to work on his mental faculties.

"Kid, let her look at your brain…" Sol said. Corvus rolled his eyes and looked behind him.

"I am… Why does ri-ri need to poke in my brain again?" Rias rolled her eyes.

Sol continued his speech as Corvus passed out for the moment.

"You know, you and the kid don't sound so different… I heard your being married off… That reminds me a lot of how the Angels forced the kid to work for them… I don't know who the hell we were fighting… But I do know they gave the kid a second chance at life at least… I do know the dragon who the guy was using for a powerup like the kid did…" Rias came upon several grizzly imagines.

Corvus had a very strict schedule from what she saw: Get up, train, then be sent on a list of combat missions for the day. He would end up dragging himself back, covered in bruises and cuts and bleeding… They allowed him to return to his room and spent 2 or so hours stitching himself back up.

He would get to read, got very bare hygienics care… Then if he was lucky, he would get 10 minutes to talk to his father… Sometimes less.

"Not all angels are this cruel… But there is a faction of them who resent the kid for being able to indulge in more… vices… They treat Corvus like an animal, a heretic when the kid can't control his bloodline. He can't go for help or they'd play the victim card and dangle his father in front of them… I want to gut them." Corvus woke up and looked at Rias as she finished.

The Hybrid young man went from being annoyed to confused and once again tilted his head like a dog.

"I heard married… You're going to be a wife?" He asked. Rias frowned at this.

She hated Riser, but if Corvus found out who he was? Sol guaranteed he'd beat the crap out of him and his peerage… Though Corvus was said to have a rule against hitting girls and only did it if they were monsters or so.

She hummed as Corvus turned to Sol. She smiled weakly.

"Go and sleep, Corvus. I'm going to go talk to the others, ok?" Corvus noted something was off as he raised an eyebrow and frowned.

Before he could question the Gremory about anything, she had turned and left. He flexed his wings and repeated the name he and Sol heard.

"Riser…" Corvus turned to Sol who looked at Koneko. The Rook continued to keep guard… Knocking out Corvus would make things a lot worse than she thought they'd turn out.

The hybrid frowned and sorted through the latest set of memories that Rias had restored.

He clenched his fists and went back to the meditation he ended up doing in between the 'sessions' that he and Rias had been having.

He sighed with annoyance as Sol grabbed a book, this one about angels and devils… Their history.

Sol wanted Corvus to make friends… To rip free from the Angels... But he knew that would have to be his choice.

He could Corvus did enjoy the company of Rias… Because she was the first genuinely nice person besides his father… Besides the group she had which could be chalked up to caring about him because Rias did.

Neither knew how the next day would change things… And how it would change the feelings Rias felt towards Corvus.

Author Note

Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Corvus isn't meant to be overpowered or stupid… I want to present him as a blank state and then form his personality when Riser shows up. Next chapter will be on either Monday or next Sunday and will show Riser showing up and Corvus meeting him. until then, Lighting Wolf out!
