6. Rise of the Phenex and Neko's!

Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

HaMiroKar420; Thanks, here's the next chapter!

Primus1661; Yeah maybe he could, I don't see why not.

LoamyCoffee; Imagining a cat dancing to that made me chuckle, and thanks very much!

Oblivious IJ; She really can be yeah. It does yeah, she has a lot of trust in him. Apparently, that's the name Rias likes~ That's Tsubaki for you, she's quite wild with her imaginations sometimes. And thanks!

Morregen; He could technically I guess, he is apart of that family as well.

Clarent excalibur; Thanks very much! Yeah, he could learn that anyway, Bova's gonna be a good part of the story regardless if he would be on Zavian's peerage or not. He could be protective of Asia, she does also draw in Dragon's towards her so it wouldn't be impossible for Bova to take a liking to her. That would be a fun moment. I could see that happening, thanks for the suggestions!

Skull Flame; It surely is yeah. There is yeah, we'll discover more in the future, it's going to be someone from canon but I wont say who yet. She is yeah~ Yeah, he does, Grayfia can be scary apparently. I thought it would be~ Zekram in this likes Zavian due to his full blooded status, and the power that brings.

LuisMStar; Thanks very much, they'll still be apart of the harem regardless~

TehStorm; Thanks very much, they'll still be apart of the harem, and yeah, Zavian's peerage members will be getting upgrades to make them strong. Yeah, Sona could do that, I don't see why not.

lio4567892012; Hehe, I guess that it can be huh~?

ShadowUzumaki55; A serious Zavian is quite the beast. Anger him, or harm someone he loves, then he'll come at you with the intent of destroying you. She does yeah, she can see that he's trustworthy. They have yeah, Sona's role is to be his second in command, Ravel is someone that assists him personally with events, his schedule among other things, Sona's role is to help him with formal duties such as underworld matters, peerage matters, and other important duties. He has yeah, and yup, it is gonna be like that, especially when Millicas grows up a bit. We'll find out more about it in the near future.

Arkraith; That's Tsubaki for you~ Thanks very much! She is quite cute huh~ He's going to have his hands full when they become teenagers. Yeah, there will be a timeskip quite soon.

Drake; Thanks very much! Yeah, seems so~

Guest 1; Thanks very much! Yeah, it could be cool~

Guest 2; I've never really watched Jojo's before, I've heard of it, and seen some clips and stuff, but I've never watched it. I'd have to get back to you, it is in my watch list, I've heard good things from the series so I might end up loving it.

Andrew123456; Yeah they could be!

ivan meza; I don't see why not!

OechsnerC; Thanks very much!

Silver crow; Thanks very much! Yeah he surely did his best huh~? He's still young, so of course he'd need time to charge, he can't just do it like Sirzechs yet, but when we reach canon, he'll be quite powerful. He is yeah, I always thought that Ajuka would be an awkward kind of parent n contrast to Sirzechs who we've seen in canon is quite hands on. She is yeah! They didn't have enough evidence, Sirzechs put him under house arrest until they gained the evidence they needed, then he went to take him away, before he killed himself. Thanks, glad you liked it! She did yeah, considering they're both have important stances in Zavian's life. Zekram in this would love the idea of Zavian since he's not only a pure blood, but someone who's powerful, and can rally people around in the Underworld. Yeah, it probably was like that yeah~ Hehe, yeah maybe~ Yeah, I guess that he could be like that. Though that person probably would be in Rias' peerage since Rias needs the Sekiryuutei or something equivalent within the peerage. That sounds good to me! Maybe she might be. He will be the President. Yeah maybe that could happen. Yeah he'll have some special moves all his own. Yeah I've seen the trailer. Those sound like awesome ideas to me! Perhaps she could, but she'd have to have a reason to show up. The same for Hades. That sounds great to me, and maybe she'd be there, I don't know yet. Sounds good to me!

Guest 3; That sounds good to me, if I did a Resident Evil fic, I'd probably go with something like that, and even with Lisa Trevor, I always felt sorry for her. That sounds awesome to me!

PAZZ; Zavian's peerage might seem like they aren't impressive, but they are going to get power ups, and will make them strong. Saji gets like four Sacred Gear's so that's quite awesome. Elmenhilde is going to have something that makes her strong as will the others. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take them into consideration!

AlphaOmega; Yeah, they surely did~ She does yeah, and yeah, Kuroka's gonna be fun when they grow up. I suppose they do now~

Lightwave; He has yeah. I'm glad that you liked it! He did yeah, Zavian's gonna do his best to keep him safe. It surely is.

Guest 4; The peerage is going to be getting power ups to make them stronger, and yeah, he can reincarnate people with less pieces. Cao Cao though still has the True Longinus so it would take a good number of pieces for him to reincarnate Cao Cao. Yes I know, and sorry but she's staying.

Neonlight01; They tried their best, and managed to pull off a few victories. Yeah, it's going to be something that's looming for a while. They are yeah. He has yeah, and it seems like Sirzechs is worried when Grayfia's in that state. He did yeah, and we'll have to wait and see~

Guest 5; Yeah, I could see Kuroka doing things like that, and she could do things like that. Zavian by the point of canon could take the Fallen Angels easily, so Asia wouldn't be in danger, we'll see a few things happening during that arc. I could see Xenovia doing things like that, sounds good to me!

Guest 6; I guess that he could, it sounds great to me!

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!

Rise of the Phenex and Neko's!

A week after dealing with Naberius, Zavian was at a ceremony that was being held in his honour.

Because he had uncovered a big scandal, along with the fact that he had managed to save a good number of Devils from being sold on this black market, he was being honoured. He himself didn't want to make a huge deal out of it, but some of the more, stronger supporters of Zavian's were less than willing to let it go.

The people boomed and roared as Zavian began walking out onto the stage, being greeted by the four Maou's themselves. He also saw a good number of Old Devils that were also clapping and praising Zavian for what he had done.

He also saw his friends, Rias, Sona, Tsubaki, and the others in the crowd, clapping along. Even Koneko and Kuroka were clapping, Kuroka now had come out of the hospital, and was well enough to attend what was going on right now.

Sirzechs offered a proud smile, while Grayfia with the baby sat in the background and gave a prideful smile to her son.

"Aah Zavian, this seems quite extravagant huh?"

"Hehe, too extravagant for someone like me Tou-chan."

Zavian admitted with a chuckle, Sirzechs shared that same notion.

"I feel the same honestly. But this is for the Underworld after all. It wouldn't be a celebration if it didn't go all out like this." Zavian nodded, and went towards the microphone. "Today, we're here to celebrate, and recognize the hard work and effort my son had in not only bringing down a crime ring, but also saving many people from a harsh fate!" The crowd roared loudly, while Zavian himself gave a shy smile. "Zavian, is there anything you'd like to say?"

Zavian nodded, and took the mic from the stand before him.

"Yes, I'd like to say...I don't really deserve this praise." The crowd looked surprised but Zavian continued. "I managed to work and get this result yes, but these kind of things shouldn't be happening in the first place. And I didn't do it alone, I did it with the help of Ravel Phenex, Sona Sitri, Tsubaki Shinra, Bova Tannin, and my Tou-chan's Bishop, and Knight. Without them, I wouldn't of accomplished this." The crowd continued to be surprised but Zavian continued regardless. "Kuroka-san, and Koneko-chan, were girls that had nowhere to go, and were taken in by a man that was abusing their trust, and were going to experiment on them. He was apart of a large crime ring, the black market my Tou-chan mentioned. I saw many horrifying things during that day, I saw people locked in cages and being sold as if they were nothing. But, I also recognized something as well...mostly, they were Reincarnated Devils."

The crowds watched on while Kuroka and Koneko nodded to each other.

Even Ravel nodded her head, facing such a truth was hard for most, but she and a good few could understand what he was speaking about.

Zavian then fixed his stance and continued.

"Reincarnated Devils, have very little rights if any at all. I understand why that is, but sometimes, they are dealt a bad hand, and the Master they follow, can be a terrible person. Sometimes, it is too much power that the Master holds over the Reincarnated Devils. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I've witnessed horrors before due to these vulnerable people. Rather than Stray, I want to make sure these people are safe and sound. If Kuroka-san didn't have me and my family, then she could have turned into a Stray, because she didn't have anywhere else to turn to when she, and her Imouto were being abused. That's why, in the future, I hope to establish more rights for Reincarnated Devils, and Low Class Devils who aren't born as lucky as I am, and others are. A place they can go to if they are being threatened or are forced to do terrible things. I want to make a place where Devils have to Stray less and less. To give them more rights than they have now, give them more of an education and see their progression through hard work and effort." Zavian bowed his head, and smiled gently. "Thank you for listening, and I'll be holding any questions you have for me afterwards."

At first, the crowd were stunned that he said that.

Even the Old Devils were stunned, and said things like "Yeah right." and "What kind of Devil does he think he is?" even saying things like "Such statements can't be taken lightly." but as they were saying that…

[YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!]

The crowd went wild with what Zavian had said.

They cheered because of the truth of his words.

Though of course some more pompous Devils held up their noses.

But mostly Low and Reincarnated Devils cheered. Even if their Masters were there, it showed that they truly believed in what Zavian was saying.

Sona was caught by surprise by what was happening.

Hearing what Zavian wanted to do, she was quite impressed, and thought that it was a noble goal.

Ravel watched with a prideful smile on her face, glad that Zavian was able to do such things.

It only made her decision to help him out with his missions and his persona goals, finding them to be very admirable.

Zavian then fielded some questions from the others while Ravel and Sona both supported Zavian as much as they could do.

But in this light, Ravel was sure that she was determined, and would face Zavian about it, how she was going to be beside him.

---

When Zavian had finished his talks for the day, Rias happened to catch him up when he was walking towards his bedroom, and she was followed behind by a young girl that he didn't recognize. Zavian gave her a curious, but kind look as Rias beamed out.

"Hey Zavian, I've got someone for you to meet!"

Zavian looked towards the girl, and gave a refreshing smile.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Zavian Gremory. Rias' nephew."

"Nephew?" She repeated, Zavian nodding. "But...you look like you're near the same age. How is that possible?"

Zavian gave a gentle smile, and whispered in her ear.

"You know about Devils hiding their age with their demonic power, right?" The girl nodded, Zavian indicated to Rias who smiled. "She's really older than she looks. She really is in her thirties."

The girls eyes widened, while Zavian chuckled lightly.

"W-Wow, so...yeah, that makes sense...she did seem to have old fashion tastes fufufufu~"

Rias, picking up on what was being said, knitted her brows together.

"What was that Akeno?"

Akeno, showing a teasing smile, poked Rias' face.

"Great work done. I almost believed that you were my age."

"I am your age though."

Rias shot back with a curiosity like no other.

But for Akeno, she seemed to be enjoying the feeling of teasing.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter, even if you are in your thirties, we can still be friends. Though no sleepovers fufufu~"

"T-Thirties?! I'm not in my thirties!" Rias roared like a tiger, then shot her eyes to Zavian who whistled innocently. "You told her I was in my thirties!?"

"Sorry, did you not want people to know?"

Rias shook bit her lower lip while her face turned red with embarrassed.

"W-Well...he sleeps nude!"

"We both do that."

Zavian answered Rias back, Akeno came into astonishment.

"Even then, you...erm...damn, I can't think of anything..."

Rias huffed while Zavian chuckled lightly.

"No worries Rias, it was just a joke after all~"

Akeno, observing the good natured fun between the two, gave her thoughts on the matter.

"Wow, it seems that you are quite close to one another~"

Rias inclined her neck.

"Close as can be." Rias' words caused Akeno to glance between them. "Anyway, Zavian. Akeno is going to be staying with us now. Remember when I talked about the person who was wandering into Gremory territories?" Zavian vaguely remembered that. "It seems that it was Akeno here who was the one going into our territories within the human world. She was worried we'd exterminate her, understandable considering that Devils must seem terrifying to humans who don't know of us personally."

"I can understand that." Zavian beamed. "Anyway, it's great that Rias managed to help you out! She is really kind huh~?"

Akeno adopted a slight smile, hugging the upper half of her body.

"Yes, Rias-san helped me out. I would have been killed if it wasn't for her."

Zavian continued to smile, placing a hand on Rias' shoulder, and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"Well done Rias~ You did amazing!"

Rias coyly placed with her hair.

"Yeah, I just did my best. It was also my Tou-sama's Bishop who helped out as well. Either way, I'm sure that Akeno and I will be friends. I'll be taking care of her now since she's had a hard life."

Zavian showed a sympathetic look to his face, giving Akeno said look which made her tilt her head.

"Yes, that's right, if you are Rias, then I'll help you look after Akeno-san here too!"

Akeno gave a surprised look while Rias beamed out happily.

"Naturally, it seems that your kindness is shining through Zavian."

Zavian inclined his neck, giving Akeno a calm smile.

Akeno herself felt calm around the pair and could see how close they were to one another.

---

That night, Zavian laid on his bed, his body stripped of the clothing he usually wore, where he heard his door open just a crack.

At first, he wondered who it was.

But it became clear when it revealed it to be Tsubaki who had entered into his bedroom.

"Zavian-sama...I-I mean, Zavian-san, can I come inside?"

"Sure, please come in!"

Tsubaki fully opened the door, and walked in wearing nothing but her pyjamas.

Zavian sat up on his bed, and revealed some of his naked form to her.

Tsubaki's face turned bright red, but she pulled closer to Zavian's form.

She shyly sat down on the bed, drinking in his form with her eyes over his body.

When realizing what she was doing, she shyly turned to his face and saw that he was still smiling at her.

"T-Today Zavian-san, with the words you said...you truly want to accomplish those things? To give those people a right if they are being abused?"

"Yes, that's right. I've just seen many people like that, and no one is doing anything, so I'll do it myself, and give them a good life if I can help it. Like with Kuroka-san and Koneko-chan, I want to save people going down that path of darkness if I can so help it. Why do you ask?"

Tsubaki poked her fingers together with a timid expression, something she didn't usually show, but she pulled closer, and placed a hand near his thigh, as she edged towards his body.

"Zavian-san, your group...your peerage I mean, have you decided who's going to be apart of it yet?"

"Actually, I've got some candidates yes. But, why do you ask?"

Tsubaki's face turned slightly downtrodden.

"N-No reason." She lied. "I was just thinking about when you gain your Evil Pieces, and what that will mean for the future. I hope that you get a good peerage, because you really do have a lot of love to give people." Saying it from the depths of her feelings, Tsubaki placed a hand over her heart. "Like you did for me. You gave me a new life here, and I've had so much fun with everyone around me, it is amazing."

Zavian's face turned upwards.

"Tsubaki-san, you are adorable after all~ It isn't like I did those things for rewards or anything."

Tsubaki nodded as if she already knew that.

"I know, that's what makes it all the more special to me Zavian-san. You do these things, even when people don't know about it, to make peoples lives better. I know that my own life is better for having you in it."

Zavian was touched and surprised that she had said something so wonderful like that.

"Tsubaki-san, you're so kind to me. Thank you Tsubaki-san, it means a lot to me to know that I could help you out like that. And you are also getting along with Sona-san quite well. Are you thinking of joining Sona-san's peerage?"

Tsubaki tilted her head.

"But, isn't she joining yours?"

"Honestly, while I would love if Sona-san joined my peerage, I'm not sure she'd want to join my peerage."

Tsubaki, confused, moved closer on the bed.

"Why Zavian-san?"

"Well, Sona-san is amazing. She's smart, capable, and can pretty much think herself out of a gun fight with a single pen. She could do that, as she is that amazing. I don't know if she would want to join my group. I plan to ask her once more, but I'm expecting the answer to be no."

Tsubaki furrowed her eyebrows, thinking about what he said, and then she gently shook her head.

"I don't think that's the case Zavian-san."

"Oh? Do you have some insider knowledge Tsubaki-san?"

Zavian chuckled out, Tsubaki ran a finger through her long black hair, showcasing a soft expression on her face.

"I just think that Sona-sama might have a few reasons to join your peerage. I think she'd have a good chance to do such things with being on your group."

Zavian took in what Tsubaki had said, and couldn't help but smile lightly at the sight of Tsubaki.

"Thanks Tsubaki-san!"

Zavian hugged onto Tsubaki's body, but Tsubaki's mind went into overload when feeling his body against her own. She looked down and saw the curves of his butt, and could feel his warm skin on her own skin.

Her bottom lip quivered, her body heated up to an abnormal temperature, but she didn't feel like she was burning, she felt a good warm fuzzy feeling inside of her body, something about Zavian hugging onto her body made her feel good inside of her body and she didn't want to let go of him either.

Then her hands touched his back, and blew her mind at the sensation on her fingertips.

Her body jolted up, electricity passing through her body from his body.

Her eyes darted downwards and looked at his butt briefly, before she pulled away, her trembling lips made Zavian believe that Tsubaki was quite cute.

"Something wrong Tsubaki-san?"

Tsubaki overlooked Zavian's body once more, before she fell onto the bed, passing out from stimulation.

Zavian panicked "Tsubaki-san!" and got towards her, pushing against her body to wake her up, as Koneko walked into the room.

Her eyes looked over the bent over Zavian, and her cheeks flushed red.

"Z-Zavian-sans naked body..."

Koneko blushed adorably, and clutched her hands together cutely.

Kuroka casually walked into the room, and saw the naked Zavian, and the flushing Koneko, and smirked.

"Alright then, lets do this."

Zavian heard Kuroka's voice, turned towards her, and saw Kuroka disrobing her clothing, tossing it to the side, and revealed her naked body to Zavian's form. His eyes bulged while Kuroka swayed her hips side to side, pulling herself closer to Zavian.

"K-Kuroka-san! Why have you taken your clothes off!?"

"Nyaaa~ It's a naked free for all, isn't it? Lets have fun Zavi-chan~"

Kuroka placed a hand on Zavian's butt, and dragged him closer to her body.

His face turned slightly red, Koneko on the other hand didn't look pleased in the slightest.

Koneko walked over, and grabbed Zavian's hand, pulling him towards her.

"Onee-sama, I was coming here to sleep together with Zavian-san."

Kuroka stuck out her tongue.

"Seems like great ideas are just that, great. Because I also had the same thought." Her eyes went to the passed out Tsubaki, and chuckled dirtily. "Naughty girl, she must not have been able to handle the situation of intimacy like this. It doesn't matter anyway, we can still have fun." Kuroka's lips went to Zavian's neck, and lightly kissed his flesh, causing a groan to come out of his mouth. "Come on Zavi-chan, lets work up some cuteness points between us before we make love to one another in the future."

Koneko still frowned, hugging onto Zavian's body, his cheeks burned red when noticing that Koneko's head was near a certain area of his.

"...No, I wont allow Onee-sama to steal Zavian-san from me."

Kuroka smirked dangerously.

"Fufufu, even if it is Shirone, I wont hold back from my cute Zavi-chan nyaaa."

"Neither will I Onee-sama."

Koneko said it sternly, showcasing her willingness to fight even Kuroka over Zavian's body.

Zavian on the other hand enjoyed that they were settled into a new life even if they occasionally fought one another like this.

---

The next day, early that morning, Ravel paced up and down in her bedroom.

She had been thinking about asking since she was younger.

But now with the time that he'll actually be gaining his Evil Pieces, her reality is coming quicker, and she felt all the more nervous.

She realized that she would have to deal with being in Zavian's peerage, the peerage that was going to be closely monitored. Though she was determined, she didn't know how she was going to break it to her family, and if they would be alright with it.

But then as she paced back and forth, there was a knock at her door, surprising her.

"Y-Yes?"

[Yo Ravel, it's me, Riser. Kaa-sama and Tou-sama told me to get you up.]

"I'm awake!" Ravel yelled, blushing furiously as she thought about being in Zavian's peerage once more. "I-I'll be coming down soon enough! Please wait for me!"

Ravel stretched her arms, and heard a small [Whatever.] coming from Riser before he left.

Ravel quickly got dressed, and prepared herself.

She wouldn't wait anymore.

She wouldn't want to wait until she finally got to tell her parents.

She had to say something.

She hadn't even spoke to Zavian about it yet.

That's why this was more worrying than she thought that it would be.

So she walked down her stairs, and got towards the dining room.

"Good day Kaa-sama, Tou-sama, and Onii-sama."

She greeted her Mother, Father, and elder brother. Her other elder brothers seemingly weren't present, and she was okay with that. As long as her parents heard her words, then she would be alright with it.

"Aah Ravel, are you spending another day with Zavian-sama?"

Lord Phenex asked that, addressing Zavian with the appropriate suffix, recognizing that he was the son of the Maou. Though even then the Phenex and Gremory were close due to Ravel and Zavian being close friends.

Ravel sat down near her parents, and then fiddled with her fingers, letting out a meek "Yes." before looking down at her food.

The topics then ranged from Riser speaking about getting new servants, and other things of that nature.

But then as they were together, Ravel found the courage that she needed, and raised her voice.

"Everyone. I have an announcement to make."

Suddenly, the others turned to Ravel with confusion.

"Ravel? Is something wrong?"

Lord Phenex asked his daughter kindly, Ravel nodded, but then shook her head.

"No...it isn't wrong...but, everyone...I need to say, I am...I am...erm, Zavian-sama is...Zavian-sama. He is going to be forming his peerage in a few short months, and when he does…no, before that, with permission of the Phenex family, and Zavian-sama himself...I'd like to join his peerage."

All three of them were blown away by what he said.

Riser however looked angered.

Though before he could speak, the person who spoke up was Lord Phenex.

"And why did you choose this path Ravel?"

Ravel continued fiddling with her fingers, before nodding.

"Tou-sama...you see, Zavian-sama's got many ambitions, and his goals are what I truly find to be beautiful. He is a very influential person, and I can say that Zavian-sama is going to need support for the future, and I thought I could provide that support. Of course, I haven't asked Zavian-sama yet, but I wanted to know your thoughts on this matter before I push forward with my thoughts."

Lord Phenex tightened his eyes while Lady Phenex bowed her head.

"Ravel, do you believe that you could support Zavian-sama? He will have an amazing future, and it will be highly difficult. But if you think you can handle it, then I'd like to give you my blessing already."

"R-Really Kaa-sama?"

Ravel was in disbelief.

But Lady Phenex nodded.

"Of course, he is the Gremory's future, maybe even the Maou's future...no, I don't think another title for him could exist, as we've all seen the prospects of that boy already. He is going to be a very influential person. And this decision also benefits the Phenex, doesn't it dear?"

Lady Phenex talked to her husband who saw Riser fuming.

"Yes, it very well is a good idea. Ties to not only Gremory, but the Maou? It also could be good for the Phenex in the future to have such relations. And if you did choose to become apart of his peerage Ravel, it also would be hard. It wont be an easy choice to make. As your Kaa-sama said, it is something that will be difficult. Not only the public of the Devils, but all races have been watching Zavian-sama since birth. Whether that be an enemy, ally, or somewhere in between, like jealousy, envy. In some ways, I don't envy that child at all. He is going to have a politically hard life. Even so, are you willing to deal with that Ravel?"

"It's the exact reason why I want to stand beside Zavian-sama!" Ravel gave an impassioned cry. "Because...exactly as you said, Zavian-sama is going to have a hard life, with many people looking at him and wanting to have his approval for many different things. If I could support Zavian-sama in his goals, then I know I've done a good job in helping him out."

Lady Phenex seemed pleased with her daughter, even Lord Phenex thought that Ravel had thought about it for a good while before deciding, and it seemed that she was determined to do what was necessary.

However, Riser didn't seem pleased in the slightest.

"Unacceptable Ravel."

Riser finally spoke up, Ravel turned to him with a confused face.

"Why is it Onii-sama?"

"Because it is! You want to join his peerage Ravel? Why would you want to do such a thing? You're a lady of the house of Phenex, and you want to become his servant?"

"Zavian-sama wouldn't treat me as his servant, I'd be his partner. To be apart of his peerage, would mean that I would be apart of Zavian-sama's family. Why is it wrong that I want to be apart of Zavian-sama's group exactly? Plenty of Devils have done it before, and no doubt, they'll do it in the future as well."

Ravel answered straight away, while Riser didn't look pleased in the slightest.

"Honestly, if you want to join a peerage, then join mine. I can give you fulfilment if that's what you desire. You could operate on my peerage and-"

"But, this isn't about just fulfilment, this is about the future of many different things. That's including the idea of me being in your group. While that would be nice Onii-sama, I believe this path is what I must lead. Being with Zavian-sama's group, I believe I could do the best there. And change a few things that I don't agree with."

Riser didn't look thrilled with the idea.

The idea that Ravel would go towards Zavian's group, it wasn't something that he loved.

In fact, he hated it.

Riser stood up, and ran a hand through his hair.

"If my Imouto is going to that group, then I wont stand for it. He better be prepared for what I've got in store. I wont allow anyone to simply say that he'll have you in his peerage Ravel. He'll have to prove that he's worthy to have you in his peerage."

"W-Wait, what does that mean Onii-sama?"

Ravel didn't get it, but Riser was already walking out of the door.

"It seems that Riser is pumped up this morning."

"T-Tou-sama, but Onii-sama is going to do something drastic to Zavian-sama, and then he would be in trouble..."

When Ravel showed worries, Lord Phenex waved his hand.

"Don't worry about it Ravel, we'll take care of this. Also, I don't believe that Riser is acting too irrationally. He wants to make sure that you're safe, and this is the right path for you. Probably, he wants to make sure that Zavian-sama can take care of your needs just as much as you take care of his. But, I do believe that you're doing an admirable thing Ravel. By allying with the Gremory group, it could bring many prospects for the future."

Ravel smiled slightly.

Though she didn't care for such things, if she could make a difference with the Gremory and Phenex, then she would be happy to do that.

But her main goal was to always be beside Zavian.

Though she then remembered that Riser right now was going to Zavian, so she quickly dashed out of the room.

---

Zavian came across a curious state when he was invited to go towards the Sitri estate, and then was teleported to another place entirely, Zavian thought that it might have been the human world due to the colouring of the sky among other things of that nature.

"S-Sera-tan, and Gabriel-sama?"

Sitting together, was Gabriel of Heaven, and Serafall who waved cheerfully, sitting down together in a lounge like area, that seemed to be in a coffee shop.

Zavian surely was surprised because of many reasons.

One of them was because…

He thought that Serafall hated Gabriel.

But here they were, drinking coffee or tea together, Zavian couldn't tell.

He knew that the area must be for magical or supernatural people since he had teleported inside and no one even batted an eyelid, that's how surprising it was.

"Aah Zavi-tan! I'm glad you've arrived! Look, it's me and Gabriel! Aren't we awesome for being friends~?"

The annoyance in her voice when saying 'Gabriel' caused Zavian to question a few things.

Gabriel looked towards Zavian and adopted a smile on her face, befitting an Angel.

"Zavian-san, it is a pleasure to see you again~ It's like a reunion between friends~"

She winked towards Zavian causing him to blush lightly.

Serafall's face dropped ever so slightly, then she stood up, and walked to Zavian.

Wordlessly, she pulled Zavian into her bust, petting the back of his head.

"Awww, Zavi-tan, if you wanted a cuddle, you could of asked~"

Zavian wore confusion on his face, he didn't get why she was saying such things when it was her who had hugged him into her own chest.

Gabriel wore the innocent smile of an Angel, and gently embraced Zavian as well, igniting rage within Serafall.

"He is quite cuddly Serafall-san~"

Serafall growled "Damn woman." which only Zavian heard.

Serafall then sat down, with Zavian being held by her, Gabriel whined, and hugged Zavian from the other side, their large breasts pushing against his face, his face turning red with such expressions of an innocent child.

For a minute of so, no one spoke. Serafall kept her glare upon Gabriel, while Gabriel just smiled blissfully unaware of what was happening with Serafall right now, and Zavian could feel the tension in the air, it was quite thick.

"S-So, I'm surprised you're together..."

Zavian broke the silence after no one spoke for a few minutes.

Serafall gave a daring smile to Gabriel who was blissfully unaware of what was happening.

"Yes, sometimes Serafall-san and I get together, and have private conversations."

"I-I see..."

Zavian didn't get it.

He knew Serafall didn't like Gabriel.

So the reason why they were getting together just didn't make much sense to someone like him.

"Yes, that's right. Today we're discussing these letters that I have received from someone named S. Voorhees."

"S. Voorhees huh."

Zavian's accusing eyes went to Serafall who whistled an innocent tune.

Gabriel continued while showing a slightly worried look.

"Yes, that's right. I don't know who it is, but this S. Voorhees surprised me when saying that I wouldn't be as good as Serafall-san, and that I'd never have Zavian-san as my friend, or anything else. I was so shocked. I had to share it with Serafall-san and see if there was anything that was happening with her since her name was specifically mentioned. I was worried for my friend."

Zavian continued staring at Serafall who smiled right back.

"Yeah, I haven't gotten anything like that Gabriel." Serafall gave a sinister smile. "I wouldn't worry, they're only letters. They can't hurt you."

She brushed off Gabriel's worries, yet Zavian thought that there was more to it than that.

"Ye-Yes, you're right Serafall-san. But, they also said that I wouldn't be good enough to be friends with Zavian-san, that made me depressed."

Zavian shook his head at Serafall who released a dark chuckle.

"Don't worry Gabriel, even if you're not, it's alright, Zavi-tan has me~ Since one day, Zavi-tan and I are going to be wed."

"W-What?!"

Zavian did a spit take, but Serafall continued smiling, and winked at Zavian, but Gabriel looked a little disheartened.

"That's right Zavi-tan, I've decided to be with you forever and ever, it is alright. I want to take care of you, and make sweet adorable cupcake love with Zavi-tan when you're of age~ I've never met anyone so cute before~"

"Oh, so I can't be friends with Zavian-san…?"

Gabriel seemed to be feeling sad, so Zavian as kind as he was, overlapped his hand over her own, and gently held onto her hand. Gabriel's cheeks turned slightly red when Zavian gave her a cute, and yet calm smile on his face.

"Gabriel-san, please don't be so sad, we can be friends."

Serafall let out a breath of sadness while Gabriel's face turned upwards.

"W-We can? Even if S. Voorhees doesn't like the idea of us being friends?"

Zavian glanced to Serafall who adopted a fake smile.

Then he turned back to Gabriel, nodding his head a single time.

"Yes of course, we can be great friends! It doesn't matter if this S. Voorhees doesn't want it, that person can't come between us being friends."

Serafall bit her lower lip so she didn't say anything else.

Gabriel's face turned upwards happily.

"Zavian-san is so kind and cute~ Thank you very much Zavian-san."

Gabriel hugged onto Zavian tightly into her chest.

Serafall looked on with jealousy, and murmured "Well that backfired." before Gabriel pulled away from Zavian.

"Then, I'm going to get some cake! Would you like any Serafall-san? Zavian-san?"

Both kindly rejected her, and she left to get some cake.

Zavian then looked towards Serafall who smiled gently.

"Sera-tan, you're S. Voorhees, aren't you?"

Serafall showed a blasé expression on her face.

"No." Zavian knitted his brows together, peering deeply into her eyes. "Maybe." Sheepishly, Serafall looked away. But Zavian got closer, his hand brushing against her thigh accidentally, Serafall turned back to him to see a cute expression on his face. "...Yes."

Zavian gave her an incredulous look, but Serafall shined brightly like a star.

"Sera-tan, be nice to Gabriel-san please. No Serafall Voorhees."

"It's actually Sera Voorhees."

Serafall corrected, but Zavian remained strong willed.

"Sera-tan. You have to be kind to Gabriel-san, she's a nice person."

"But…"

Zavian casually held onto her hand, causing her to smile.

"If you do, I'll hug you for ten minutes without complaint, and do cute things with you."

Serafall's face brightened up.

"Okay Zavi-tan! I can be happy with hugging Zavi-tan since you're so cuddly and cute~"

Serafall brought Zavian into a hug while he looked on with a complex expression on his face.

Though it seemed like he had managed to avert disaster for the moment.

---

After Gabriel had left, Serafall looked towards Zavian, and showed a slightly scary smile.

"So, I heard that you wish to have my Sona-chan join your group, is that right Zavi-tan?"

Zavian gave a surprised face.

"Where did you hear that Sera-tan?"

Serafall smacked her lips together.

"Kukuku, sometimes I might play the fool, but I could see that my Imouto has been thinking about it for a while now."

"I see..."

Serafall leaned closer, and gave a beautiful smile.

"So, do you want Sona-chan on your group?"

"If I said yes, would that be bad?"

Serafall wiggled her fingers.

"Course not. But you'd have to explain to my cute parents why that is. It would be a huge deal you know?"

Zavian inclined his neck in agreement.

"Yes, it is a huge deal after all! I have to make sure that all things are planned out. But, Sona-san hasn't even agreed yet. She said that she wished to see my future prospects among other things of that nature."

Serafall gave a bright smile on her face.

"I see, I see. Then you're going to have to have the backing of some good people for this deal to be pushed through. Even as the Maou's child, you'd still be expected to do a lot for the Sitri clan if this was going to go ahead."

Zavian understood what she was talking about.

Then Serafall hugged Zavian tightly into her chest.

"How about I back your deal Zavi-tan?"

"E-Eh? You would? But I thought that you wouldn't want your Imouto to go to someone else..."

Serafall raised her hands into the sky.

"It's true! But, Sona-chan is also a delicate girl! And she needs to be held by me! But, if it is Zavi-tan, then I know that she'd be taken care of~ We can be held by Zavi-tan together, it isn't an issue at all~"

Zavian gave a small smile on his face.

"Sera-tan, thank you. I'd of course take care of-"

"But, if you want to take Sona-chan into your peerage, you have to marry me."

Serafall said it like it was nothing.

Zavian's face drained of colour while Serafall continued hugging Zavian into her chest.

"Eh? Did I hear wrong?"

"Nope, lets get married in the future." Zavian's bottom lip trembled while Serafall grinned wildly. "The children of the Sitri need a new heir or heiress eventually, and if Sona-chan joins your group, then you can be with me, marry me, and we can make an heir, or heiress together~ Don't you find that amazing Zavi-tan?"

"S-So, we have to get married and have a child?"

Serafall jumped up and down, her boobs moving up and down and Zavian's cheeks turned slightly red.

"Yes, that's right. Like Sirzechs-chan did with Grayfia-chan. Even though he left the clan, you're still next in line to become the heir after Rias-chan. If you and I had a child, then he or she could take the name Sitri and become the next heiress or heir. See? Smart or what~? Until then, Sona-chan can handle the Sitri duties while being in your group, it will be fine if that's promised~"

Zavian didn't even know what to think about that.

It seemed like a plausible idea.

Yet, it seemed insane to hear that.

"A-Are you serious Sera-tan?"

"Deadly."

Serafall replied, shaking her body around.

"I-I see...t-then marrying Sera-tan...marriage is...Sera-tan would be good..."

Serafall cackled, placing a small kiss on his already reddening cheek.

"I think it would be good for us~ And Sona-chan would be so totes jealous and we could embrace each other in a threeway special cuddle~ Oh by the way Zavi-tan, if you become a Maou, would you rather become Lucifer, or Leviathan?"

"T-That is if I had a chance at all! I don't know if I would or not! Though to become a Maou would be quite wonderful..."

Serafall hugged Zavian's body to her own, and brought him onto her lap.

"You are so wonderfully cute. So modest, and adorable. Being their kid, no doubt you're gonna be a candidate for being a Maou, maybe even Super Devil in the future. Who knows what's gonna happen, but I think that this would be good~ So what do you say Zavi-tan? Wanna become my husbando~? I'll be your wifey for lifey~ When you're ready, let me know~"

"I-I see...S-Sera-tan, are you doing this to just make Sona-san happy?"

Serafall was surprised to hear that.

But, she gained a kind and heart warming smile.

"Sona-chan worries about these things sometimes. But, as her Onee-sama, I've seen that for a good while now, she's considered it, being in your group. She also has to think of her clan, what's best for it, and what is best for her future. In my honest opinion, being tied with the Gremory family, especially you Zavi-tan, would do wonders for Sona-chan's future. And I already know Zavi-tan would treat Sona-chan as his equal~"

Zavian placed a hand over his heart.

"Of course, that's what I want to do after all Sera-tan. I believe Sona-san and I could do many different things."

"But, it isn't just for Sona-chan, it is for me too~ I haven't found anyone so wonderfully cute. I love your cuteness, and I want to touch Zavi-tan all over when he gets older~ I can tell, you're going to be very adorable, and handsome~"

Zavian felt his head being pushed against her bust, gently petting the back of his head.

It seemed like Serafall truly did want to make Sona happy, while also finding some happiness herself.

Thanks to that, Zavian was deeply thinking about what he was going to do in the future.

---

"Zavian!"

Riser bellowed as he stormed into the castle of Gremory. Ravel trailed behind him, and walked fast, while saying "Wait Onii-sama." but he wouldn't have it, and kept yelling Zavian's name while walking through the castle.

He looked left and right, and up the large staircase, and couldn't see him.

"Damn it, where is he."

"Onii-sama, please act with restraint. This isn't going to solve anything at all."

Riser brushed off Ravel's attempts to stop him, and continued pulling forward.

He stormed through the castle, but couldn't find Zavian at all.

Then he walked into the living room and saw Kuroka eating some food, Koneko was curled up on the couch and Bova was walking up and down at a steady pace waiting for what seemed to be Zavian as he wasn't in the room.

"Zavian! Where are you boy?!"

Riser snapped, causing Koneko to stir awake, Kuroka's eyes snapped towards him, scowling.

"What do you want flame boy?"

Riser ground his teeth.

"I'm looking for that damn Zavian cat girl. Tell me where he is or I'll..."

"Or you'll what?" Kuroka shot back, standing up, and got closer to him, Riser felt her power so backed away slowly. "Why do you want Zavi-chan nyaaa? Because Zavi-chan is busy right now, so back off you weird monster."

Riser backed away slightly, tilting his head curiously, before showing a slight fear when Kuroka smacked her lips together.

"A-Anyway! Where is he!? I want to confront him right now about the idea of stealing Ravel to his peerage!"

Ravel slapped her head while Koneko's eyes shot for Ravel.

"...What was that?"

Ravel showed a slight scowl when Koneko sent a challenging look towards her.

"T-That's nothing to do with you cat."

Koneko got off the couch while Kuroka smirked.

"...I thought that I was the first to join Zavian-san's peerage. Are you trying to steal that position as well?"

Ravel's scowl grew while pushing past Riser who nearly hit the wall, Kuroka and Bova let out snickers.

"What other position have I been trying to supposedly steal anyway?"

"...You know that Zavian-sans lap is mine, yet I've seen on multiple occasions that you've been sat there."

"So what?" Ravel shot back. "Zavian-sama is completely fine with it."

"...Even then, Zavian-san allows me to sit there more."

"Hmph, even if that's the case. As they say, quality over quantity."

Koneko felt triggered, while Riser looked bewildered.

"W-Wait, Ravel. You're fighting about sitting on his lap? Is that amazing?"

"Yes."

Ravel answered a single word which threw Riser for a loop.

Kuroka gave a smirk, poking his cheek.

"Clashing two loli's, never come between the lap wars. There's been casualties before, and you wouldn't be the last either. So what's this about Ravel-chan joining Zavi-chan's peerage nyaaa? What's wrong with it?"

"Everything cat girl!"

"Like?"

Kuroka's challenge was met with Riser's unsure face.

"W-Well, he's a Gremory, too affectionate."

Kuroka's smirk grew, she knew what she was going to do now, and how to have a little bit of fun.

"Ooh yeah I know. Last night, Zavi-chan and I slept together nyaaa."

""Pft! W-What!?""

Ravel and Riser spat out, Kuroka licked her lips.

"It's true nyaaa. Zavi-chan and I slept together. His hands, all over my body as I meowed adorably in his ear. Then how he cuddled me during the night, but I was alright with that, since he's that cuddly and adorable."

"N-No way! He couldn't of before me! He couldn't have lost it before me!"

Riser cried out, while Koneko rolled her eyes.

"She got into the room to sleep next to him, not with him."

"Only after you did nyaaa. If I recall, you went their first. Though Tsubaki-chan also wished to do it as well, and passed out by the time that we got there. Guess she couldn't handle the manliness of the situation nyaaa~ I definitely saw a big sight if you catch my drift nyaaa~"

Kuroka countered to Koneko who turned her head to the side while sending a teasing look to Riser and Riser understood what Kuroka was teasing him about and seemed to be quite annoyed by it, Ravel's eyes blazed with fury.

"W-Wait one second! You also slept in the same bed as Zavian-sama?!"

Koneko pushed out her chest while Ravel's face turned darker.

Bova smiled cheerfully "That's Zavian-sama for you~" while appearing happy.

"Yes, that's right. Zavian-san allowed me to get into bed with him. So I was happy about that nyaa."

Ravel looked very annoyed at that moment.

"D-Did you see anything!?"

"...Everything nyaa."

Ravel went into a fury, but Riser growled.

"Where the hell is he then?! I want to talk to him right now, and defeat him so he'll be proven to never be able to take Ravel into his peerage the weird bastard!"

Bova's eyes lowered angrily.

His face turned dark.

His eyes clouded, and his body tensed.

"...Did you just call him a bastard Riser?"

Surprisingly, Bova sounded as if he was going to murder Riser.

Even Riser was surprised by how he was showing an aggressive expression on his face.

"W-Well, that's something…."

Bova's aura grew around him, and he stomped over to Riser who continued showing surprise on his face.

"Do not attempt anything with Zavian-sama. As his herald, I will not stand by and allow some overgrown chicken-" Kuroka stifled a laugh. "-to try and harm Zavian-sama! If you want to have a fight with Zavian-sama, then you can fight me! If you can get by me, then maybe I'll let you get near him!"

"H-Hey! Hold on! I don't want to fight a Dragon!" Riser began moving backwards, while Bova moved closer to him. "I only wish to fight Zavian Gremory since he is the one my Imouto wishes to go towards! Not some Dragon!"

Bova's toothy smile revealed itself, and he pulled even closer to the man.

"If that's the case, then allow me to give you some tests before you can even try and beat Zavian-sama. Phenex or not, I wont have you become involved in this kind of situation, that's how it is after all."

Riser's eyes turned fearful, and he felt a beat of his heart rocking through his system.

"W-Wait a second! You need to calm down you weirdo Dragon! I'm trying to make this right with-"

"Make what right?"

Zavian came through the door, and spoke up, surprising the others. He was stood with Sona and Tsubaki, Riser's eyes snapped towards him but then shuddered when feeling Bova's eyes on his form, it was like flames dancing on his skin.

"Y-You! You are intending on taking Ravel onto your peerage, aren't you?!"

"What?"

Zavian genuinely didn't know what Riser was speaking about.

Ravel herself looked ashamed that Riser just blurted that out before she had a chance to say anything.

Sona herself was surprised Ravel had even discussed it with her family when she hasn't said anything at all.

"Y-You know what I'm talking about!" Riser continued to yell. "You have the intention of taking Ravel into your group! But, I'm not convinced that you can keep Ravel safe at all! So, why don't we have a fight? Though even if you're the Maou's son, it doesn't mean you can beat me. No one can defeat the Phenex."

Sona rolled her eyes while Tsubaki furrowed her own eyes.

Zavian himself remained calm.

"Keep calm, I don't really want to have a fight with you or anything Riser-san. I hadn't even heard of this." His eyes went towards Ravel who turned her head away trying to not make contact. "Ravel-chan, is what Riser-san saying true?"

Ravel pursed her lips, and then bit her lower one.

"Z-Zavian-sama, that's…I mean, that's...it could be something that..."

Ravel didn't know how to get her words out.

But Riser seemed determined to do something dangerous, and that wasn't good in Zavian's eyes.

"You heard her, for some weird reason, she wishes to join your group. So you have to take responsibility for her heart! And if that's the case, then I have to become involved to make sure that you're the right person that Ravel could join! Even if you're the Maou's son, it doesn't guarantee that you can give her a great life!"

Despite his harsh tones, Zavian could sense that Riser did genuinely wish to have his sister safe, and sound and happy.

Even if Riser didn't like Zavian all that much.

Upon seeing that, Zavian tightened his hands.

"If that's what you feel Riser-san. But first, I'd like to talk to Ravel-chan privately."

"No!"

"Onii-sama don't start!"

Ravel snapped at Riser who jumped back in surprise.

"R-Ravel..."

Ravel brushed her skirt, and walked away with Zavian.

Sona gave Riser a curious look who scowled at her.

"What are you looking at exactly?"

"Nothing, just attempting to see what's going on with you right now."

Sona shook her head as Riser kept his scowl on, even with Bova staring deeply at him.

---

Walking into a private area, Zavian looked towards Ravel who seemed to be shuffling beside him. It seemed like she was really determined yet nervous about speaking about a few things. Including that of what Riser had said before.

"Ravel-chan, is what Riser-san said true?"

Ravel didn't know how to answer that.

She looked nervous and shy to even speak about it.

She thought that she had worked up her courage to speak about it, but now when directly confronted by Zavian about it, it seemed like her courage had disappeared all together, and now she was being wrecked.

"Ravel-chan..."

Zavian tried to speak but Ravel sniffled.

"Z-Zavian-sama! Onii-sama had no right to even say that when I hadn't said anything! I hope you can forgive him!"

"Yeah, sure, that's Riser-san for you. But, Ravel-chan, tell me about what Riser-san had said. Do you want to become apart of my peerage?"

Zavian looked towards the shy Ravel who bowed her head.

"...I understand that you asked Sona-sama, but I also could...I mean, I've been thinking about it for a long time now, and if you'd want me too, then I wouldn't stop, because Zavian-sama! I want to make sure that...Zavian-sama's life is easier than it is now! I'm not Sona-sama but even I could-"

"Ravel-chan." Zavian stopped her, seeing her body moving up and down. His hand placed itself on top of her head, and he gave a gentle smile on his lips. "My cute Ravel-chan, please don't be so worried about such things. As I've said, you and Sona-san fulfil different roles in my life. And to think you'd actually even consider joining my peerage Ravel-chan, that's wonderful. Is this what you really want?"

Ravel bit her lower lip, but nodded, and gently embraced Zavian who hugged her head into his chest.

"Zavian-sama, would you really take me as your peerage member?"

"Of course~"

"B-But, don't you even have to think about it?"

Zavian peered down at Ravel while stroking the back of her head.

"I've already thought about it." He revealed to the surprised woman. "Ravel-chan, you're a Phenex. Literally, you have many amazing qualities that I could have on my peerage. Like your flames, immortality, and your tears as well. I'm surprised you asked me, just saves me the worry of asking you directly."

Ravel wore surprise on her face.

"S-Seriously Zavian-sama?"

"But of course." He divulged. "It isn't just Sona-san I've thought about Ravel-chan. As I said before, both of you fulfil different roles within my group, and together, I think we'd be quite great together. I just thought that Phenex, Sitri and Gremory could come together within my peerage and have many strong ties."

Ravel continued hugging onto Zavian tightly, and wouldn't let him go either.

"Zavian-sama, you're so kind. Thank you for saying such things. S-So, if it was me...y-you'd be okay with me joining your group? I'd do a lot for you Zavian-sama! You name it, I'll do it!"

"Hehe, yes Ravel-chan. But Ravel-chan, can I ask why you want to join my peerage out of everyone else's? I mean, I'm sure that a girl like you would be invaluable to any group that you're on. Yet you chose mine, I was curious as to why that was."

Ravel's cheeks began flushing a deep red, as Zavian looked questioningly towards her.

"Y-You see Zavian-sama, it is because I've seen all of the actions you've done before. Not just for the neko girls, but for others. Even the common Devil out there, I remember during that time with that boy, you just gave up your time for that boy, without even questioning it. And then there's how you lost your eye, and how you got a lot of wounds. Yet, it seems like it's made you a better person...that's the person I admire. You're quite like a Knight in shining armour to me."

"Really?"

Zavian hadn't expected Ravel to say something like that.

But Ravel nodded to herself, cupping her hands together.

"That's what I thought about Zavian-sama, since you're a very unique person, I wasn't sure what you'd be doing. But as I've watched Zavian-sama, and seeing what you've done for many people, and only still a child, when you grow up Zavian-sama, I'm very interested in what you're going to do for the future. And if I could stand beside you Zavian-sama...to do those amazing things...to help you accomplish your own goals, would help me also accomplish my own goals...to be truly useful."

"To be useful huh..."

Zavian could get that, and Ravel explained anyway.

"It's a good feeling that I would receive to be useful. I'm not like my Onii-sama's, I don't have the power that they to carry on into large battles...but, I know that I could be very good support Zavian-sama. So being your support would be the ultimate reward for someone like me. So, if you asked my reasoning's for joining your group, it would be because I want to stand beside someone I know can change the world in many interesting ways, and save those who can't save themselves."

Zavian couldn't deny that she was speaking such beautiful words.

He felt complete about his decision now.

Unlike most people who had asked, Ravel genuinely wanted to be useful, and to be able to change society that was flawed to begin with. That's what made it all the more better for someone like Zavian who was already deciding what peerage member he would have.

So, he made his decision.

"If you want to join my group, then I'll speak to the Phenex about it, and come to some arrangement."

"Z-Zavian-sama does that mean..."

When Ravel was asking for confirmation, Zavian's face turned very bright.

"It seems that before receiving my Evil Pieces, I have found my very first peerage member~ I choose you Ravel-chan! Stand beside me, and we'll do many amazing things together!"

"Yes Zavian-sama!"

Zavian picked up Ravel, and began spinning with the young Phenex, making her smile brightly.

But then a screaming Riser came through the door with Bova chasing after him.

"LITTLE CHICKEN! HOW DARE YOU INSULT ZAVIAN-SAMA?! I'LL BURN YOU FOR THAT INJUSTICE!"

"LEAVE ME ALONE YOU WEIRD DRAGON!"

"NO! FACE IT LIKE A CHICKEN AND CHARCOAL YOU ! I WONT ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Riser screamed while Bova shot fireballs at him.

It was all Riser could do to dodge the flames.

Though even then it seemed shocking for him to do that.

Kuroka came running into the room while egging Bova on "Get him Bova-chan nyaaa!" Zavian shook his head but Kuroka didn't care, and continued showing her dangerous smile on her face. Riser continued screaming and crying at what was happening, but Zavian placed his hand outwards.

"Alright Bova-kun, don't try and attack Riser."

"But Zavian-sama, he called you a freak! I couldn't let that injustice continue!"

"You're a monster Dragon!" Bova's eyes shot for Riser who backed away with a cry. "Damn!"

Zavian resisted a chuckle in his throat, and continued smiling gently.

"Alright everyone, keep calm." His eyes went towards Riser, while Ravel continued holding onto Zavian's body. "Riser-san, I've made a decision, and I want Ravel-chan to join my group."

Riser smirked arrogantly.

"I freaking knew it. I knew you'd want Ravel in your group. Then I-"

"If it means putting your mind at ease, I'll challenge you right now for the right to have Ravel-chan make her decision."

Riser was surprised he'd say that.

But he also wanted this.

"Hmph, fine with me. Then lets go and do this already."

Zavian placed his hand outwards, and shook his head.

"I'll be speaking to your parents first of all."

Riser felt ticked off, but Ravel's stare made him relent.

So the next destination was the Phenex estate.

---

Upon arriving at the Phenex estate, Zavian began speaking with Lord, and Lady Phenex about various things. Sona sat nearby and listened to what was going on, and how he was speaking quite candidly, and earnestly, while showing a noble and dignified expression on his face.

Even she had to wonder if Zavian would do something like this for her…

But when she thought about it, she also decided that it might seem crazy.

Ravel seemed to have already made her mind up, while she herself hadn't even done that yet.

"So, is this what you've agreed too Zavian-sama?"

Lord Phenex spoke up, Zavian inclined his neck in agreement.

"Ravel-chan passes the criteria that I had for someone to join my peerage."

"And what is that?"

"A good heart."

At his reply, Ravel's face turned even redder than before, while Koneko showed a frown on her face.

Riser shook his head again and again, like he was being told a lie.

But his parents seemed to be genuinely intrigued by what Zavian had said already.

"I-I see, that's a criteria?"

Lady Phenex seemed baffled, so Zavian gave his explanation.

"Yes, that's right. Many have come to me and asked to join my peerage. But Ravel-chan was the first to ask me while wearing her emotions on her face, and I sensed no hidden agenda, no deceit, only truth from her, and her kindness shined through. That's what made me say "Yes!" to Ravel-chan almost immediately. Apart from her good heart, everything else she has is an asset. As you maybe aware, my future is going to be a difficult path. With the various factions keeping an eye on me and watching my progression, I'll need a good strong group behind me, and Ravel-chan here was worried about her not being as strong as her Onii-sama's. But, I can see a very good side to Ravel-chan who'd grow a lot on my group and I'd of course say to you, I'd keep Ravel-chan safe and sound to the best of my ability. I wont lie and say that I'd always keep her safe, because that's a promise that I can't make. Yet, I can promise to do my best."

Lord and Lady Phenex looked surprised by the maturity that Zavian was showing.

It was clear that Ravel was going to be okay with Zavian due to how serious he was.

Lord Phenex opened his mouth, and gave a soft smile.

"Truthfully, this would be beneficial to both of our clans if you and Ravel came together. I was wondering if a union like that would come about, but when Ravel said it to me, I was quite surprised. But, I was happy at the same time. A few things would have to be discussed between the clans, before anything happened. But Ravel's happiness is our top priority, and I believe that with the crush Ravel has on you-" Ravel's face turned mortified while Koneko resisted the urge to laugh, so did Kuroka. "-it would seem that she would be very happy in the future if she joined your group."

Zavian heard what Lord Phenex said, but since he saw Ravel looked beyond embarrassed, he didn't say anything else about it.

"I see, then that's great Lord Phenex! Lady Phenex! I'll take care of Ravel-chan~"

"Wait! What about my test!?"

Riser snapped, Zavian and the others turned towards him.

"Ooh yes, Riser. It seems Ravel is happy so..."

When Lady Phenex tried to explain, Riser shook his head.

"I wont have any of it. Until he can prove that he can defend Ravel in front of me, then I want to see him fight against me! Not that he'd win though. Even with the Power of Destruction, Phenex will shine gloriously."

Ravel showed an annoyed expression on her face.

"Onii-sama, why do you have to be so difficult?!"

"Because I want to make sure you're safe Ravel!"

"Then why can't you just let me be happy already!?"

Zavian, seeing tensions rise, placed a hand on Ravel's head, giving it a small pet.

"Don't worry Ravel-chan, I can handle this myself." Zavian's assurance caused Ravel to show a slight smile. "Riser-san, if you want to fight me, then I'll agree to that. But on the condition if I win, you will allow Ravel-chan to do as she wishes. Is that okay with you?"

"Fine, that's fine with me. Though when I win, you'll be proven that you can't take care of Ravel."

Sona noticed how both of them spoke.

Zavian took a more kind and optimistic look on the fight.

While Riser was dead sure he wouldn't lose.

To her, it was Riser's downfall to underestimate enemies, while Zavian wasn't doing that at all.

"Okay then, I'm ready when you are."

Riser smirked, and stood up.

"Good, then I'm ready right now."

Zavian furrowed his eyebrows, and inclined his head.

---

Zavian and Riser went towards an official type arena where the surrounding would be safe and sound. It was an alternative space where they could do what they want and not worry about what was going to happen.

Watching was a good chunk of the Underworld.

To see Zavian fight was always something the elders took interest in.

Even Zekram had come in attendance.

Grayfia and Sirzechs watched on with Lord and Lady Phenex, Sona sat with Tsubaki, Ravel, Koneko, Bova, and Kuroka. Even Seekvaira had arrived, with a boy named Sairaorg, and watched the fight that was going to happen. Rias sat there with her parents, and watched keenly to see what is going to happen with the fight.

"Sorry about this Sirzechs-sama, Riser is only looking out for his Imouto."

Sirzechs waved his hand, looking after Millicas who sat on his lap.

"Of course, we all understand. And this might also help Riser out mentally, and begin to think about the future."

"Perhaps you're right."

Lord Phenex grinned, while Tsubaki looked towards Sona and saw that she was completely calm.

"Sona-sama, aren't you worried about Zavian-san?"

"Probably, Zavian-kun is going to win."

Tsubaki was surprised to hear Sona say that.

"You sound very confident in that Sona-sama. He is a Phenex, can't he regenerate indefinitely?"

Sona pushed up her glasses, and began explaining.

"It's because Riser is highly underestimating Zavian-kun. He thinks that because of his kindness, Zavian-kun wouldn't fight to his hardest, and in his mind, at least it seems that he thinks his regeneration is going to hold forever. Nothing is forever. Not even the Phenex's regeneration. Zavian-kun also knows how to defeat a Phenex, and he'll show that rather soon. He probably is thinking about the best way to make Riser see sense that he'll keep Ravel-san safe. And to answer your question, Riser can't regenerate indefinitely, and Zavian-kun knows this."

That's how Sona saw it anyway.

Then with Zavian and Riser, the former kept his hands behind his back, and Riser tightened his fists.

"Are you just going to stand there and do nothing?"

Riser baited, but Zavian furrowed his eyebrows.

"Riser-san, do you really hate the idea of me and Ravel-chan being together?"

"Pft!" Riser did a spit take. "Y-You want to date Ravel?! Never! You will not sully Ravel!"

Zavian looked clueless on what Riser was speaking about, it seemed like he was speaking nonsense at this point.

"Huh? I was talking about her being in my peerage."

Riser placed a hand over his heart.

"R-Right...I have a problem with someone that can't protect Ravel. She's my Imouto, and going towards you is a huge deal. I want to make sure that she's safe, and I don't think that you would be able to protect her."

Zavian took his hands from behind his back, clapping them together a single time.

"If that's how you feel then I'll show you my strength right now." He placed a hand to his ear, and a small communication circle appeared. "Tou-chan, I don't have to hold back right?"

"Haha, sure, it shouldn't be a problem. As soon as one of you enters a state of being unable to fight or fall unconscious, you'll be teleported out of there."

Zavian smiled, and spread his hands outwards. From his hands, POD began to show itself around him, and formed the crimson and silver energy that looked to be very strong. Riser felt a bead of sweat running down his face, as the "Begin!" was announced, and immediately, Zavian pushed off the ground at high speeds, immensely surprising Riser.

"Shit!"

Riser cursed, and shot off a powerful wave of fire…

But Zavian leaped over the flames, aiming his hand downwards towards Riser with POD surrounding his hand. Riser's eyes narrowed upon Zavian, and unleashed his flames right up towards Zavian who was suspended in the air.

"Onii-sama's flames are powerful for a Devil our age. He might burn Zavian-sama..."

Ravel gave a worried face, but Kuroka waved her hand.

"Naaaah, Zavi-chan isn't that stupid to do such things."

Ravel watched as the flames neared Zavian's body.

But Zavian flicked his hand outwards, and the POD shot forward, towards the middle of the flames coming for him, and then opened his hand when the power got in the middle of the flames, and expanded in size, creating a sizeable hole within the flames, which caused them to disappear all together.

Riser looked angered by that as the power came right for Riser, who extended his flaming wings, and flew away.

"Got you!"

However, because Riser's attention was on Zavian's power, he neglected to think about Zavian's presence, and he managed to get close, embedding a fist right into Riser's torso, causing his eyes to widen, and Zavian unleashed his destructive energy in Riser's torso, making it explode, and took out a good chunk of Riser's body with the attack, half of his chest, and his right arm had disappeared from this world.

"Ooh yeah! That's my Zavi-chan!"

Kuroka cheered, seeing Riser fall down to the ground from the attack.

Sona hummed, and watched as Riser's body began to regenerate from the attack that Zavian had given him.

"Even if he regenerates, it takes stamina and demonic energy. If he exhausts his power, then Riser wont be able to regenerate anymore, and would be finished. Most Devils our age with the exception of Sairaorg-san would have fallen to Zavian-kun's attack. It was that strong."

While Sona said it, Riser got back onto his feet, and showed a smile.

"Seems like I can always regenerate Zavian Gremory. You might have the famed Power of Destruction. But I have the famed Immortality of my clan. Which clan shines brighter? Yours, or mine?!"

Riser coated his hands with flames, and shot for Zavian who coated his own hands in POD, and clashed with Riser's fist. Their fists connecting caused a shock wave of flames and POD to spread around the area, breaking down the ground, Riser winced at the feeling of Zavian's fist which managed to break Riser's stance, and unleashing his POD at close range, Riser's arm was destroyed by Zavian's power.

"In terms of abilities, I'd say that the Phenex have many good traits. But, you are using those traits the wrong way. You'll run the risk of losing if you keep relying on your own talents, and not thinking about training."

Riser's eyes snapped on Zavian, and his wings grew larger.

The area around Zavian and Riser began to turn hotter, and hotter.

It wasn't a joke.

Most normal Devils would melt around due to the flames of Riser.

He wasn't weak either.

He was a strong Devil, even for his age.

Riser though was surprised when he saw that despite his flames circulating around Zavian's form, he didn't even seem to be hot, it didn't seem to be burning in the slightest is what he wanted to do, so seeing that Zavian was fine, was surprising.

"That's right Zavian-sama! Destroy the chicken!"

Bova cheered from the side, while Zavian cracked his neck.

"Riser-san, I'll keep Ravel-chan safe."

Riser's eyes narrowed.

"How can I even trust that?!"

Riser's regenerated arm once more coated with flames, and aimed it for Zavian's body, but Zavian raised defensive barriers before him, and blocked the flames with a shield of magic, Riser was annoyed, but Grayfia nodded her head.

"As expected, he does listen to my lessons on magic."

Sirzechs gave a slight smirk.

"You are quite versed in magic, so it is to be expected."

Riser watched as Zavian dropped the shield of magic, and he placed his hand outwards once more. Gathering the POD in his hands, the POD formed what seemed to be a claw of POD energy, and Zavian sent that outwards towards Riser while his other hand went behind him, and the POD began to rise into the air.

"What the hell!? Keep it away from me!"

Rather than fight it, he moved backwards and flew away while shooting many flaming attacks towards Zavian's POD claw, the spheres of fire managed to break down the claw of the POD energy, but the small little bullets left from the claw, all began to spin around, and then shoot for Riser as if they were going to destroy him.

"Amazing, to have that level of control..."

Seekvaira murmured, Sairaorg adopted a small smirk however.

"Exactly, a talented youth who I'm going to be having a personal battle with one day. To see this talent has given me more drive to become even stronger than ever before."

Sairaorg watched with intrigue while Zavian placed one of his hands outwards but seemingly didn't do anything at all. Riser however, focused on the attack coming for him, and shot down the spheres with his own flaming spheres, and it seemed quite easy to shoot them down, Riser thought that it was because Zavian wasn't strong enough for him.

But for Sona, she recognized what he was doing right away, seeing Riser had been moved into a place where Zavian had wanted him, seeing what was above Riser, but Riser hadn't even seen that at all.

From above Riser, a cloud of POD had formed. It was crackling with silver and red energy.

Like it could destroy anything.

Zavian cracked his neck towards Riser who began laughing.

"What's funny Riser-san?"

"I thought that you were powerful. But those bullets weren't strong at all."

Zavian nodded, actually agreeing to the confused Riser.

"That's correct, they aren't as strong as they could have been. But that would have been wasting energy."

Riser still seemed confused as a magical symbol revealed itself under Riser's form.

"Then what was the point of firing them against me? If you knew they weren't strong then..."

Riser realized the truth when he saw a shadow on the ground.

Casting his eyes up, and saw the POD cloud above him.

It looked as if he was going to faint from such a thing.

The power felt amazing.

Like it had been built up.

"Y-You! While trying to distract me, you had been setting up that damn cloud!"

Zavian inclined his neck.

"That's right, now time to be caught in the downpour." Zavian's hand raised up, and the cloud glowed brightly, small droplets of POD fell from the cloud, and some of the ground was destroyed from the small ones, which made Riser gulp. "Rain down destruction."

Zavian said it with a resolute face, and then his power came down in rain drops, a heavy downpour.

"S-Shit! Damn it you bastard!"

Riser went to move, when Zavian clicked his fingers, and a magic circle appeared below Riser's body, and ice shot up, wrapping around Riser's form, and stopped him from moving backwards, his eyes shot down to the ice, and unleashed flames, melting the ice, but it was too late already.

The POD energy hit many different places on Riser's body, blowing off different parts of the body. His arms, his head, his eyes, his shoulders, his legs, his hands, and fingers, any place that the power hit, and each time, Riser continued to regenerate from the attack once more.

"Riser-san, you're expending more power that you would have too. Right now, you've got the power to probably make me feel nervous. But you're allowing yourself to be hit, and waiting for the chance to counter-attack. It could work, but I've seen through that tactic already."

Sona nodded again and again at Zavian's words.

"It's true what Zavian-kun is saying. He's showing his tactical side, and also his power to counterbalance Riser's own power. Riser is powerful, but his skills are lacking. In talent, Riser is a genius, but in practice, he's not trained so he hasn't harnessed his abilities to the full potential."

As Sona spoke, Tsubaki saw sense within her words, and watched as Riser raised his hand once more to shoot off some flames, but Zavian's POD came into affect, and came in front of him, creating a wall of destruction, and the flames pushed against it, cancelling out the flames all together, due to the nature of Zavian's demonic power trait.

"But, there's something I don't understand." Tsubaki continued speaking with Sona. "He's standing so close to those flames. Even when attacking, the heat of those flames must be placing a burden on Zavian-san's body, yet he's able to take the power and just stand there as if he was under normal temperatures."

Sona shook her head, as Riser stopped his flame thrower technique, and the wall of destruction broke down a few pieces of destructive energy, circulating and shot off towards Riser in large bursts, Zavian manipulating them with his fingers.

Riser's eyes narrowed considerably, and tried to take down the POD blasts, but the flames of Phenex merely crumbled down due to the nature of power that Zavian possessed, Sona watched as Riser's body was destroyed in multiple places.

"Zavian-kun is an ordinary Devil, as in flames like that would burn his body."

"Then..."

When Tsubaki showed confusion, Sona continued without missing a beat.

"It's because around Zavian-kun's body, there's a thin constant layer of Power of Destruction that's cancelling out the flames as it goes near his skin." Tsubaki widened her eyes in surprise while Sona continued. "Zavian-kun is a genius when it comes to demonic power, and manipulating his clans trait. No doubt, he's come from two very powerful and skilled users of demonic energy, he's managed to keep the thin almost unnoticeable layer of Power of Destruction so he doesn't have to suffer those affects. Of course, it wouldn't take a direct attack of fire, but the residual heat is being destroyed before it can touch him. It's a unique skill he invented last year when speaking to me about fighting enemies that could cause problems like this. It doesn't waste much power while keeping Zavian-kun relatively safe."

Tsubaki was quite impressed to say the least.

She watched as Zavian continued blasting Riser's body as he tried to fight back.

But Zavian's power crumbled down Riser's attacks.

It took twenty minutes, but in the end, Riser was left panting while Zavian released a small breath, feeling slightly tired, but saw that Riser looked exhausted. He had spent his stamina and demonic energy, and anymore attacks, he wasn't sure if his regeneration was going to work.

Zavian raised a fist of POD and went to strike when Riser pulled away, falling onto his back.

"W-Wait a second! I give up! I can't do it anymore!"

Zavian lowered his fist, and bowed his head.

"Ravel-chan, is going to be safe with me Riser-san." Riser's eyes lowered down to the ground as Zavian moved closer. He extended his hand to Riser who stared at it. "I'm glad you were worried Riser-san, it shows that you really care about Ravel-chan. Since becoming an Onii-sama myself, I can understand wanting what's best for your sibling. But I'll promise that she'll have a good life. It will be hard, but together, Ravel-chan and I can accomplish many things. So, isn't it better that we are just friends than anything else? We'll be tied together if Ravel-chan is to join my peerage~"

Riser breathed out rapidly.

He hated that he lost to Zavian.

But, from what he heard, it did sound like Zavian was going to care for Ravel now, even when he couldn't.

Being stronger, Zavian could keep Ravel safe more than Riser could.

Riser looked at the hand, and then grabbed it slightly unwillingly.

"Fine, I accept it. If Ravel wants to join you, then that's fine. Though ever break Ravel's heart, and I'll burn you."

"Haha, I thought you'd say that Riser-san~ Don't worry, I'll keep Ravel-chan's heart safe~"

Riser had to admit that Zavian had done his best, and had beaten him.

Not with just sheer power, but tactics that broke through even the mighty regeneration of the Phenex when he thought it would be near impossible.

So he relented and stood up while the crowd went wild seeing Zavian beating the Phenex.

Sona suspected this outcome since the beginning, but it proved to her that he truly was worthy to hold such a position as a King if he could overcome these odds just to have Ravel join his peerage, and convinced her that he'd do the same for her, and now she had come to a decision about her being beside Zavian.

---

Later that night, Zavian laid on his bed, and thought about what was going to happen in the future. Because it was very close to his birthday now, he was going to be receiving his Evil Pieces, and then he was going to have to start obtaining a peerage. He thought about what Serafall said, and Tsubaki, wondering if Sona would join his group.

He also thought about Ravel, and he was glad that Ravel had decided to join the group, his group.

But as he thought about it, the door to his bedroom opened, and he saw that Koneko had come into the room.

"Koneko-chan, what's going on?"

Koneko walked over to the bed, and sat down beside him.

Her small hand wormed its way into Zavian's own hand, and held onto it tightly.

"...Zavian-san, are you really going to take Ravel as your peerage member?"

Zavian was surprised she'd ask that.

But, he inclined his neck in agreement.

"Yes, that's right Koneko-chan. Why are you asking?"

Koneko knitted her brows together, edging closer to the young boy, placing her head on his shoulder.

"...I've been thinking about it Zavian-san, you are so kind and generous. You saved my life and Onee-sama's life during that time with Naberius."

"Yeah, but Koneko-chan..."

Koneko peered into his eyes, leaning upwards, and then her small arms wrapped around his body.

His hand gently placed itself on her head, petting gently which made Koneko meow adorably.

"Zavian-san...if you take Ravel onto your peerage...then, would you...I mean, Zavian-san...me and you are...I could also do things with Zavian-san..."

Zavian could see that Koneko was struggling to get her words out, so he picked her up and placed her on his lap.

Kuroka went towards the door, but stopped when she saw that Zavian was having a private moment with Koneko.

"Koneko-chan, you can speak to me about anything you know? You don't have to worry about anything at all."

Koneko strengthened her resolve, allowing a cute expression to appear on her face.

"Zavian-san! Take me too!"

"T-Take you?"

Zavian seemed confused, but Koneko knew what she wanted.

"...Yes, take me into your group too Zavian-san."

Zavian gave a surprised expression on his face.

Out of everything that he thought she'd say, this was one of the least likely to happen, but here it was, she was doing it.

"Koneko-chan..."

When Zavian tried to speak, Koneko's head fell against his chest.

"...I know there's stronger people than me out there...but, I'd work very hard Zavian-san...I'd do my best everyday to make your dreams come true as well...I'd train harder than anyone else to become very strong...if you took me on as your peerage member Zavian-san, then I would do my best to make you happy..."

Zavian heard her heartfelt words, and couldn't deny that Koneko truly was speaking from her heart.

Her body trembled on his lap.

Her eyes flickered, and her body heated up when realizing that she was on his lap.

But it didn't seem to matter in the end, and only enjoyed being with Zavian.

Zavian's finger brushed against her cheek, showcasing his kindness towards Koneko who was worried about what to say.

"Koneko-chan, you truly want to join my peerage?"

Koneko didn't even need to think about it, she had made up her mind already.

"Yes Zavian-san."

"I see...Koneko-chan, when you spoke then...I don't need you to promise me all of these things." Koneko appeared confused, but Zavian continued while hugging her into his body. "My peerage is going to be a place that is filled with the people I love, and cherish, and that need saving. You Koneko-chan, for you to say you want to join my family like that, it is an honour. You looked worried, but you didn't need to be worried, because I would accept you in a heart beat."

Koneko's face flushed when Zavian said that, recalling what Kuroka said, and how she also said similar things about Zavian taking her in a heart beat.

"...Then you'd have me?"

Zavian tightly brushed her face, and his other hand gently brushed against her tail sticking out behind her, causing her to meow.

"Yes, I'd have you Koneko-chan. Do you want to be the second person who joins my peerage?"

Koneko's face turned bright, she gained a smile that she usually didn't show, jumping Zavian's body and he was pushed down onto the bed, landing on top of him, and she purred lightly while Zavian cuddled her against his body.

"Yes, Zavian-san...yes Zavian-san, I want to be with you forever and ever."

Zavian gave a bright smile, sitting up on the bed, Koneko falling onto his lap.

"Of course Koneko-chan, you'll be apart of my family forever."

Koneko now felt accepted.

Loved.

The worry she felt was gone now thanks to Zavian's kind and beautiful words.

Kuroka, who had been listening in from the door, stepped inside, and peered into Zavian's eyes who was cuddling against Koneko.

"Zavi-chan, so you're going to be having Shirone in your group?"

Zavian gave a strong nod.

"Yes, that's right."

Kuroka strode forward, Koneko watched with hazy eyes, watching Kuroka's eyes on Zavian's form.

Then she got beside onto the bed, hugging onto his body.

"Zavi-chan...would you accept me too?"

"Onee-sama?"

Koneko gave an unsure face, but Kuroka rubbed her cheeks with Zavian's own, making him smile.

"You saved my life Zavi-chan, and you gave us a home. You've done so much for us, I want to return it somehow. And I've seen many hardships in your life, and we've only been living here not long, I want to also make you feel good Zavi-chan. If you're taking Shirone, how about taking her Onee-sama as well Zavi-chan?"

"Kuroka-san...are you sure?"

Kuroka gave her consent via her neck bobbing up and down.

"Yes. I'd not do this for just anyone you know? I don't want to be without my cute Zavi-chan, and my Imouto is joining your group, I might as well to look out for both of you nyaaa." Kuroka placed a kiss on Zavian's flushing cheeks. "Besides, you're cute Zavi-chan, I wouldn't mind serving your every single need forever and ever~"

The way she said it, Zavian's face heated up immensely, Kuroka gave a sly yet cute wink towards him.

Koneko continued holding onto Zavian's body, and wouldn't let go of him.

"...Zavian-san, taking both of us...yes, I would be okay with that."

Zavian looked between the two sisters, wrapping his arms around the pair, and brought them close.

"Then I've got three peerage members already. My cute Neko's and Phenex, all together."

"Phenex?" Zavian cocked his head to the door, Koneko looked and frowned when seeing Ravel walking into the room. "Oh, you."

"Oh, it's you."

Ravel bit back, as she moved forward, getting onto the bed, and hugged onto his body.

"Now, now~ No need to fight, lets all have a nice relaxing hug~ We've got to celebrate becoming a family together~"

The girls complied, and each embraced him tightly.

He looked between the three girls, and felt content right now.

He was happy that he had gained three lovely peerage members, next her had to get was the others he thought about.

---

End chapter!

So, Ravel's officially joined along with Koneko and Kuroka, and Sona's also made some decisions regarding her own future, and it seems that Tsubaki also has come to a decision but is a little shy and hesitant to speak about it. Zavian spoke to the Underworld about a goal of his to change society for Low Class, and Reincarnated Devils. Akeno and Zavian had a small meeting, and hit it off. Serafall and Gabriel had, a very interesting meeting with one another, and then Serafall practically proposed marriage to Zavian. Though she wants to also make her sister happy, she also likes being with Zavian. Riser, being worried for Ravel, and also wanting to one up Zavian, challenged Zavian to a fight, but Zavian used his techniques, and skills to take down Riser who relied on regeneration to try and take down Zavian, but since Zavian trains and Riser doesn't along with showcasing his intelligent side, that was the outcome!

Now, to address something's that people have been asking me about recently.

About female Cao Cao, a few people have been asking about it, and I'm thinking about her being in the harem, a sort of rivalry with female Vali, thought that would be fun.

Some people were worried about Zavian's peerage not being strong, but all of them are going to receive power ups, and people like Kuroka is already strong and she'll receive a power up in the future, Xenovia gets eight holy swords (seven Excalibur's along with Durandal), Asia gets a Dragon King in the future along with her incredible healing abilities, Saji will have four Sacred Gear's eventually which is a Dragon King, and is quite strong, Tsubaki's gonna get Balance Breaker, and she'll be getting an interesting upgrade to her naginata, Koneko's also going to receive a powerup she didn't in canon, and the same for Sona who'll make use of all traits of the Queen piece, Bova and Ravel as well though I wont spoil those yet, and of course, Zavian's pretty powerful and will show more in the future with the techniques he'll be pulling off along with how he develops.

Now, as for Elmenhilde, she is going to have a Sacred Gear (in this she'll be half Vampire and it wont be a Longinus though it could evolve into one like Gasper's in canon does) but I am torn between two that would work for Elmenhilde. So, I'll leave it to you all, and give a little description of what they do for those who aren't aware and what could happen Elmen using them. The Sacred Gear's are Staring Blue/Green, the ability to summon a bow of either blue or green light that's damaging to Devils and fire at a distance, supporting close range attackers like Xenovia. Gravity Jail, the ability to weigh down enemies with sight alone, and stop the enemy in their tracks for a powerhouse of the group to finish them off. I thought either of those two would be good for Elmenhilde since she's more of a long range fighter even in canon, and what I've got planned for Elmenhilde's power development. So yeah, please vote on either of those!

Also, been thinking about the peerage, and what not, and been getting good suggestions from others, and have decided on a few things. First, after thinking about it, I've changed a few things around. Everyone that was on the peerage still is on the peerage, but I've added Le Fay onto the group since Zavian didn't have a magician, he had magic types but no magician so Le Fay's the magician of the group! Since Zavian's quite powerful due to his parents, he's got good potential to reincarnate strong people with less pieces like Kuroka's canon master needed two Biships, yet Zavian who's a lot stronger, would only need one, and put a few people in different places which I think would be good places, it might change like making Bova a mutated Pawn, and giving the other Pawn to someone else, but this is the line up!

Anyway, not long until we reach canon timeline now! Thanks for reading!
