Ravel looked at the scene in front of her and sighed. She knew that the one she chose to be her Queen was strong, she did not doubt that at all, but for what she was seeing she could only say.

"... Can I even reincarnate him?"

By her side, Yubelluna shrugged her shoulders at those words. It had to be said that Ravel was by no means weak, she was very strong for her age and her potential was great, but Ace's current strength was such that it was not clear if Ravel could reincarnate him.

The reason? Ace was currently scratching the back of his head in doubt over what to do after he defeated Riser in two moves total.

The match was quite straightforward overall, Ace moved in Riser's direction with a speed that made it hard for anyone to see clearly, even the two knights under Riser had some difficulty to do so. When Riser used a fireball at Ace he had already prepared and used alchemy to create a stone wall in front of him. While the side in front of Riser was a solid wall, the one in front of Ace was more of a slope that made it easy for him to climb over it and jump. While in the air he used wind alchemy to further accelerate downwards and slashed through the shocked Riser, cutting him from the top of his head to his balls.

When Riser regenerated and clearly showed unwillingness to accept the result Ace did not hesitate, using a roundhouse kick right at his head and sending him spiraling to the floor and passing out then and there.

The reason for being knocked out was truly quite simple, while Riser's body was nearly impossible to harm in a significant fashion his soul was an entirely different matter and Ace used the soul shock technique common amongst soul meisters. His technique was rough and would need a lot of time and improvement, but for someone who was not used to it whatsoever and had no defenses against it like Riser?

His having passed out after a single punch was quite a normal outcome.

Ace felt that maybe he was a bit over-prepared, seeing as he used his full speed together with wind alchemy for acceleration and his other skills had a combined result that was not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Turning to Ravel he moved with an awkward smile on his face seeing as he just made his future boss's brother pass out on the floor in front of her.

"Well, I hope this is enough and... sorry if I gave him a concussion."

Ravel snorted at those words, not knowing if she should laugh or not considering she didn't think that him having a concussion would make much of a difference in how he acted.

"Don't worry, he should be taken down a peg or two and it was in time. With this, he should at least not underestimate others so easily and maybe he would train for once." Ravel sighed at that.

In truth Riser was extremely talented, even if a tad less than herself or their eldest brother, but Riser never bothered with improving or training as his talents lay in regeneration so he never saw why to bother with training when no one could injure him for real.

Except, Ace could do so easily. If Rias were to know this she would do absolutely anything to get Ace in her peerage, but she didn't know it and Ace was most interested in a supply of Phenex Tears and large sums of money anyway.

As such, Ravel was ultimately the best option for Ace who was all too glad about this chance.

"So, should we get going?" Ace proposed and Ravel nodded, using a simple teleportation magic circle to go back to her own mansion before her brother could wake up and start causing a scene to try and stop Ace from joining her peerage.

Back in her own mansion's gardens, Ravel smiled brightly as she could breathe in deeply without having to smell the strong stench her brother's mansion exuded. As for Ace, he was just glad his boss had promised a new wardrobe since he would want to at the very least throw away these shoes, how Riser managed to make the entire house feel sticky to the touch was beyond Ace who honestly didn't want to know the answer either.

"Now, Uhm, where should we do this?" Ravel said while fidgeting a bit, not knowing what to do as she took out her Queen piece.

"We can do it right here." Ace said easily as he sat in a comfortable chair present in the garden where Ravel sat with him and pressed the Queen piece in his chest.

As the piece entered Ace's chest, Ravel felt glad that there was no rejection as she muttered the aria needed to complete the reincarnation process. Not that Ace noticed her words as he was more focused on the changes his body was going through.

While he felt his muscles strengthening at a clear rate and his magic reserves growing considerably, almost to six times their original amount, the thing Ace paid the most attention to was none of that and instead the Black Blood inside him and how it was interacting with the transformation.

It was... weird. It was almost too smooth, the black blood and the changes happening being synergic quite easily, but at the same time Ace could feel even more keenly that the two's synergy was not a good thing as the madness in the blood was mixing with the chaotic devil energy which was fed by sin.

Ravel, on the side, had her mood go from good to bad as she sensed that something was not going quite right. Ace's face was releasing a frown as he was focusing on something and, as he began trying to deal with his issues, Ravel felt a sudden wave of something from him.

The soul resonance existent between King and his peerage was enough to where the now strengthening madness inside Ace resonated with Ravel. As she was entirely unprepared for any of it and Ace was doing his best to deal with his considerably larger problem, as such he did not realize that Ravel's mind was no longer working as it normally would.

The madness inside the Black Blood was resonating strongly with Ravel as she got, well, horny. Sure, normally the madness was all about female breasts, but the devil's energy changed things.

Devil Energy was powered and strengthened by sin itself. Lust, being one of the seven sins, resonated strongly with the madness inside the Black Blood and this lust was what was invading Ravel, who to start with was a devil of Lust like her entire family so this was only more effective on her. Ace, who was facing the brunt of it, was even worse as two sins were fighting for dominance inside him as the lust caused by the resonance between the Black Blood and the devil energy faced what should be Ace's main sin automatically considering who he was.

Greed.

As Ravel's lust increased she became more and more unable to control herself. Her hand unconsciously moved to Ace's crotch and, upon touching him, made him snap his eyes open. When the two eyes met and the lust on both was felt, no longer could either control themselves.

And thus, Riser's greatest fear came to pass as Ravel no longer could be said to be his 'innocent' and 'pure' little sister.


A few hours later, after Ace finally managed to control his Black Blood entirely and reach balance, he stared out at the dark sky outside and felt his heart clench as he looked down and saw the gorgeous naked body laying on top of him. Most men in his circumstances would be counting their blessings, but Ace could only curse himself right about now.

"Fuck, the first day at the job and I already am fucking this up." Ace muttered in irritation. Taking his boss's first time right after they had just formed a contract was not a good deal for him. Especially when one could argue he pretty much cheated her into it.

Who knows how her family or her own reaction would be for this? While Ace fully planned for this to eventually happen considering it the best way of doing things moving forward (he would do the same regardless of who became his king anyway), he wanted to first seduce Ravel properly. To make her want to be with him in such a way, not just stick his dick in her while the two were high on lust and not really able to control themselves. Who knows how exactly Ravel will react to it after she recovers her senses and, worse, what if she decides she wants to reduce his paycheck or something?

Not wanting to disturb her sleep, or think of that sort of terrifying possibility, Ace closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on the new energy inside him. It was a rather easy process in Ace's opinion and, with his newfound magic energy level, it was easy for him to do what he desired right now.

Namely, awaken his Sacred Gear.

It has been a good while since he got curious about what exactly his gear was... and if he should keep or sell it for other things. It is not like all Sacred Gears were all precious and depending on what it was he could perhaps sell it for something nice.

Regardless, he could not awaken his gear before due to his lack of magic energy. The Alchemy from the world of Symphogear was extremely cost-efficient so he could use rather large magic attacks, but his reserves were ultimately very small and he couldn't stimulate his gear enough to awaken it previously due to it. A Sacred Gear needed either extreme emotions or magic energy to awaken, due to Ace not having had a strong enough emotional outburst before and his lacking magic energy reserves he was unable to awaken previously.

But that is in the past. Now he has enough energy and can try and summon his gear.

With focus, Ace thought of the strongest thing he could. Visualizing a firm handshake as he sealed a profitable deal he spoke.

"Pleasure doing business with you." As he said thus, his wrist glowed, and, from there, he saw it.

It was a simple, small thing. Nothing but a simple red gauntlet that couldn't cover more than his hand and part of his wrist with a green gem on it. At a glance, Ace knew what it was, and didn't know if he should laugh or cry.

A Twice Critical. The knock-off weak version of the Boosted gear which could only 'boost' once. Sure, it would double all of Ace's attributes when active, but it was still not that powerful a gear in his eyes. There were some slight differences with it, the borders and corners having some black in it and the gem's color being a darker shade of black compared to the rest, but he could feel that the power of the gear was as he remembers.

Sighing, and not wanting to deal with this disappointment any further, Ace dismissed the gear as he felt Ravel stir in his chest.

Looking down Ace saw Ravel look around, confusion on her face as she noted her current state of nakedness and Ace's own state as well.

Her face went ballistic as she remembered what she did.

"Did we?"

"Yes."

"Oh, by the satans." Ravel says with her hands in her face as if to close her eyes. "I just got a peerage member and I immediately forced myself on him. I am becoming my brother!"

With clear despair by the end there, Ace did not know how to react precisely but realizing a chance to push the blame away from him, Ace acted as if he just put a hand on her shoulder and spoke.

"Don't worry, we didn't do anything bad." Ace says, not saying that the blame for this whole thing was with him.

Ravel just shook her head.

"No, it was my fault. I, I shouldn't have forced myself on you like that and-"

Ace did not let her continue, kissing her and pushing her tongue in her mouth. The Phenex girl froze for a moment but was soon kissing him back as the two enjoyed the moment.

After a good minute or two of them battling with their tongues intensely, they separated. A clear line of saliva connected their mouths as they did so and Ace said.

"You didn't force me or anything. You are an attractive woman, Ravel, and I am glad we are like this. Now stop moping, you are my woman now whenever you want to or not." Ace said with a fake bravado. He only proclaimed that she was his woman now because he clearly knows from CANON that Ravel is more of a submissive than a dominant.

Her liking or working for others and being a secretary of sorts is a clear show that she enjoyed obeying orders. Considering that she actually came to like Issei because he showed his strength by beating her brother also showed what she wanted.

A strong man.

She was not like Rias, who wants a knight in shining armor to rescue her. Ravel, in all honesty, wants a 'brute' that will take her, he might respect her wishes and thoughts but ultimately be the one in charge.

That was the image Ace wanted to build BEFORE they went to bed, but one does what he can with the pieces given to them, and if he had to do so while butt naked with a beauty in his arms, well... there were worst ways to do it.

Ravel blushed even further at that before meekly looking down, taking a deep breath, and speaking.

"If, if we are doing this. Would it be too much that we do it again? Do it right this time, last time was, well... not what I imagined for my first time."

Ace chuckled a bit at her words, making her glare at him as he gave her an easy smile and spoke.

"Of course, let us have a more proper first time then, shall we?"

And thus, Ace was right back doing his work of doing the beautiful blond in his arms until she couldn't walk properly without an obvious limp.


In another room in Kuoh where another devil princess was also getting exactly what she wanted.

"So, you accept joining my peerage?" Rias questioned as Isane nodded her head.

"Yes, I accept. I, I need strength, and the best way to get it as fast as possible is to join you." Isane said with all her heart. Her wish for strength had been fully ignited as she wished to no longer be a liability.

To be someone that has to be saved and would cause her family to worry for her, to fear for her. Since her gear started to awaken the dragon energy has been integrating into her body, her instincts becoming more and more like that of a dragon in some ways as she now desired strength.

She wanted power, and being a devil was a fast way to achieve that. That she was by now friends with Rias certainly did not make matters worse in any way either.

As for Rias, she did not mind what Isane wanted out of this. She was simply glad her friend, because that is what the redhead thought of Isane, had accepted to join her. This made Rias glad as it would certainly help her in her way to get rid of her unfortunate engagement, but it also made a part of Rias worry what might befall her friend if Rias were to lose the rating game.

'If I lose, I must trade my peerage away. I won't let them become playthings of Riser in any way!' Rias thought as she entered her bedroom to find the suitcase where she kept her evil pieces.

She first tried to use her remaining rook, but it didn't work. Frowning a bit, Rias directly used six pawns, but no result. She tried seven, and there was no sign of it working, so she had to hope it would work out as she tried the full eight pawns and, by the skin of the teeth, it was barely enough to let Isane be turned.

Rias released a sigh of relief as Isane felt the changes in her body, most importantly her energy levels growing as bat-like wings sprouted from her lower back and, soon after, her sacred gear naturally awakened.

And it was not awakening to look like a twice critical, but directly into the base Boosted Gear form since Isane's physique was better than her male counterpart thanks to training and a healthy diet.

Isane's eyes widened as recognition dawned on her regarding what she has in her arm. During this time Isane, like Ace, had seen a picture book about sacred gears thanks to Rias's help, so she naturally knew what she has. The Boosted Gear, one of the 13 Longinus!

Her eyes brightened as she felt a surge of confidence in her as she now felt she would no longer be hopeless when facing danger. That she could one day stand side by side with Ace.

As for Rias, she was almost jumping out of joy from obtaining a freaking Longinus just like that. And not only that, with Isane with her it would be must simpler to get Ace to join her as well, making her chance of beating Riser that much more secure.

Rias was so glad that she was sure that she was the happiest devil in town right now.


On Ravel's House, said Phenex was bouncing off the cock that had deflowered her not many hours ago and was having her orgasm... who knows what number really? She barely stopped counting after the seventh one and they were still going.

Say what you want about the Phenex family, but they were all naturally devils of lust and thus quite the nymphos, and they all had the stamina to match it. Not that Ace was currently complaining about the fact as he continued to thrust into the girl while sucking one of her bouncing tits and kneading her tight little ass.

But yeah, sure, Rias was the happier one right now.
