Let's get back to the fiction
It was the morning after the high class party, everyone had went home, as I was a pawn under Rias I had to stay in the Gremory castle, until Rias deemed it fit for us to return to the human world. It wasn't so bad, I had been given a room to sleep in, but the bed was as big as my actual bedroom at home, I ended up on the chair it proved to actually be more relaxing.
Rias had requested me to sleep in her room, apparently she wants us to be closer now, I down know how much closer we can get without actually doing it, we've only kissed twice now, but it was truly amazing.
I tried to cross my arms to get comfortable in the chair. I had just partly woken up I could hear people outside the door going about the morning routine, when I tried to move I felt a weight on me.
I opened my eyes and low and behold the sight I was currently witnessing would have been enough to send Issei to the moon on a nose bleed rocket while doing cartwheels and whistling the star spangled banner.
Currently lying on top of me completely in the nude, was Rias and my future Pawn, Mira.
Rias on my left and mire on my right and the sight was awesome, that's the only word I can describe, Rias has a huge pair on her and she is currently hugging my left arm like a body pillow her Oppai completely swallowing my arm.
Miras set are small but are just the right size to fit in the palm of your hand, noting major just the perfect size for her body, which she is currently nuzzling into my right shoulder. I can't help but smirk at my current situation.
It's a good thing I went to sleep with a shirt and shorts on if I slept in just my boxers and someone walked in, this would look very bad, hell it would still look bad even with clothes on.
The two of them began to stir as they began to awaken.
"Good morning you two, mind telling me why you're both lying on top of me in the nude"
Rias was the first respond
"Ah what is she doing here?"
"I asked first"
Rias pouted before standing up to stretch, and I got the full three sixty view, Sharingan photographic memory to the save once again.
"I said I wanted us to be closer, so last night I came in to be with you, when I noticed you were asleep I decided to join you, how she got here I don't know"
Rias pointed an accusing finger at mire who is copying Rias's stretches.
'Perfect view, Sharingan Save"
"I wasn't used to sleeping in such a big room all alone, so I decided to be by my future kings side, when I entered the room, I noticed you were sleeping on top of Kenta-Sama in the nude, I thought that was how he preferred to sleep so, I stripped and joined him, wanting to be closer to my future king and master"
"Such a loving little pawn you are"
I patted Mira on the head as she blushed at my praise. "We may as well get dressed, I assume we're returning to the human world today, given we spent the night here"
Rias nodded, "yes that's the plan, it's still the weekend so there is no major rush, we will return lunch time for now let's just enjoy the morning, in each other's arms."
Rias came close pressing herself into me, I raised an eyebrow at her actions, but didn't back away. I enjoyed her soft mounds pressing into me.
"oh my, very assertive today aren't we" I smiled at her with loving eyes, before leaning in and claiming her lips and letting my hand run down her bare back, making her shiver from my touch.
We broke the kiss, and I smirked, "I like this side to you Rias", she grinned back. I could hear an awkward silence behind us as I looked behind to see Mira, looking down in disappointment.
I moved to her, putting my finger under her chin and tilting her head so she's looking up at me.
"Is my future pawn feeling left out watching her future king and his king having some quality time?"
She nodded shyly, as I moved my head beside hers as I whispered into her ear.
"No need to worry my beautiful pawn~"
I put my arm around her waist and down her back and pulled her close
"As you king I will make sure you enjoy life to its fullest. In every way possible~"
I gripped her bare ass as she let out a little gasp.
"I will spoil you, pamper you and pleasure you as we enjoy life to its fullest together. You are my pawn and life will be good to you under my care."
"Yes master" she said with a smile
*smack*
She jumped as I swatted he bare cheek and I chuckled.
"I am kind king, and I only have a few rules, follow my orders and no honorifics unless on official business or I say its ok. Last night I may not have made myself clear, but consider that request I made last night when we met an order. Sama is fine as you will be my pawn, but master is out, and just Kenta in private. As I wasn't clear I'll let you off with a light swat, but now you know, don't let it happen again, or I may just have to. Punish~ my cute little pawn for disobedience"
I felt her entire body tingle at my words. I stood up straight and stretched myself, slightly cramped from sleeping in a chair but at least I slept.
"Oh Rias just to inform you we have another party to attend tonight"
"Oh and where is this?"
"My clan village, your family have shown their hospitality, now it's time for mine to show theirs"
I gave a big grin as she smiled back.
"Looks like it's going to be another busy night"
"Definitely, now let's get dressed, we can't very much go about like this all day"
They both looked down, and then blushed furiously.
"Don't worry I've got you both covered"
I clicked my fingers and silk dressing gowns materialized over them, Mira smiled at me in thanks. Rias looked down in surprize.
"Kenta when did you learn conjuring magic"
"I didn't spend six months in mental training focusing solely on my attack magic Rias, I'm full of surprizes"
"You always are. When should we leave for the party?"
"like you said mid-day, my clans events tend to go on for a while, the last one I went to lasted all evening and all night, so make sure everyone knows to be ready for an enjoyable night, there is a meal first so bring two sets of clothes, fancy dress for the meal, then casual for the party"
"Ok, I will. I look forward to seeing your family's origins"
"I'm sure it will be entertaining. Make sure anyone who wants to go there is there when we're leaving, only I will be able to take us all there"
"Sure will do" she nods in thanks
I nod back as Rias leaves the room to go change
I then turn to Mira with a smile.
"Time to dote on my cute pawn I think"
I snapped my fingers and the dressing gown disappeared and a set of white lingerie with chocolate brown trimmings manifested along with white jean short shorts and a light red sundress and a large sun hat, complete with shades and sandals.
She did a little twirl and curtsied in awe at the clothes.
"Thank you Kenta-Sama I love them" she said pulling down the sides of the large sun hat in embarrassment.
"Thought you would"
I snapped my fingers again as my family crest appeared below me and rose up manifesting black shoes, jeans, a white dress shirt and a loose silver blazer and shades.
I turned for the door and held out my arm for her.
"Coming my cute pawn"
She wrapped her arm around mine with a smile as we made our way to the dining hall.
Time Skip mid-day
Everyone was waiting at the front of the house as I came out, everyone looked excited to see my clan's village.
'Is it really that interesting?'
{Well considering they know very little about your family and your origins they can't help but be a little curious, it's only natural}
'Yea I suppose you're right'. "Is everyone ready?"
They all nod in confirmation as I come down the steps
"Rias did you ask your brother, if he wanted to come"
"I did sadly he's' had a backlog or work with all the time he's taken off so he can't come, but he says thanks for the invite"
"Ah well, can't be helped"
I took my position between them all.
"Ok as you're all visitors to the clan, and it's your first time there, you'll arrive about one hundred meters from the main entrance to the village, just keep walking and I'll meet you at the entrance ok"
They all nod in response, I turn to Issei
"You try anything perverted in my village I've got the perfect anti pervert illusion to stick you in for a week, am I clear"
He nods now very afraid. I snap my finger and my family crest extends out for below my feet, I snap again and everyone bar me teleports, I snap a third time and I'm gone.
Outside Maki village Mira POV
The light fades and we look around, were surrounded by thick forest, and were on a path, I can see tall walls in the distance.
"That must be the village"
Rias-Sama says as we all start walking towards the large gate.
When we arrive we are confronted by three men dressed in white kimono, with red under cloth.
"Halt, this is private land, no trespassers"
"Leave now or you will be met with force"
'Uh-oh, very assertive aren't they'
One of the men grips his katana and is about to attack, when a familiar voice rings out from above.
"Still your blades they're with me!"
Everyone looked to see Kenta-Sama standing atop one of the buildings, wearing a black kimono, with white under cloth and his clan head sash. The three guards immediately dropped to a knee, and bowed
"""Ouji-Sama"""
Kenta-Sama leaped off the roof and lands a few feet from the guards.
"They are here as my guests, let them pass"
"""Hai"""
We all walked into the village and up to Kenta-Sama. there was something different about him, before we teleported, he was so calm and relaxed, now he's much more formal, the way he carries himself there is an air to it that demands respect. But then it vanished when he spoke to us.
"Welcome to Maki territory"
'Maki territory, just how much land dose this clan own'
"The party doesn't start for another hour as preparations are still under way, so for now let's go to the head family residence"
We walked through the streets following Kenta-Sama, everywhere I looked someone was decorating, people were hanging lanterns overhead, people were setting up stalls, it didn't look like a party it looked like a festival celebration, when this clan celebrates it pulls out all the stops, it looks like they're dressing the whole village up, no wonder they aren't ready yet.
As we rounded a corner, a huge building with trees on top came into view, it had seven floors and a railing running along the roof and the fourth and third floors. 'That's the head family residence it's twice as big as the Gremory castle.
"the first floor is all for clan affairs, the second and third are meeting rooms for council and political meetings, the top three floors and the roof are the main residence, and don't worry Issei there's an elevator, you don't have to climb all thoughts stairs"
Along the way people keep approaching Kenta-Sama, bowing and offering him and us samples off different things and asking his opinion, he just smiles and speaks kindly, he really has this whole clan heir thing down pact.
"Kenta what's up with your clothes?"
"oh these, these are formal head family attire, when I teleport into the clan territory, my ring automatically put them on me, each branch of the clan has a different colour or colour sequence of kimono representing their branch of the clan, but when anyone other than the head family enters into the head family building, the magic there turns their kimono white and under cloth black, until they leave, it took me a while to notice that"
'Wow so it isn't just one family there are branches from the main family'
"You must have been really lucky to be born the first son of the first son of this this huge clan, if your father the current head if your next in line?"
Everyone's expressions turned grim at my question, and Kenta-Sama sighed, 'did I say something I wasn't meant to?'
"I'm not the first born, I'm only the last living member of my branch that isn't disgraced, dishonoured and disowned."
'Isn't the first born? Disgraced, dishonoured and disowned? What happened to the rest of the first born branch' that's what I want to ask
"I'll fill you in on all the un-pleasantries later Mira, for now let's just enjoy my clan's celebration, ok"
'his voice sounded weak for a second, that's not like him, but then I really haven't known him all that long, but he isn't weak, something must have happened in his past, should I push,... no ill let him tell me when he's ready and then I'll be there for him like a pawn should be for their master'
As we entered through a gateway to what looks like the front yard of the head family residence, everyone within eyesight suddenly turned and bowed to Kenta-Sama, I guess the head family are treated with the utmost respect here, as this is technically their home.
Kenta-Sama raised his hands and they all returned to what they were doing.
As we approached the entrance a girl with long black hair came out and instantly bowed to Kenta-Sama, she was about my height maybe a bit taller with hair down to her waste, Kenta-Sama bowed his head slightly and she stood up, wait a minute I know her she was at the Gremory castle with, Kenta-Samas grandfather.
"Everyone this is Akiko Maki, my apparent bodyguard"
"It's an honour to meet comrades of Kenta-Sama, well everyone except the pervert"
The pervert fell flat on his face. I couldn't help but snicker inside, 'serves you right'
I walk up and bow to Akiko, and greet her.
"A pleasure to meet you Akiko-san, I'm Mira, future pawn of my master Kenta-Sama"
"Future pawn of Ouji-Sama"
*FLICK**FLICK*
""OW!""
"I've warned the both of you about calling me "Ouji-Sama" and "master", Ouji-Sama is only for events, and master is off the table completely, Sama is fine seeing as you won't accept anything else"
'That hurt'
Kenta-Sama leaned down to beside my ear and whispered in it.
"That was just a quick reminder, you will only get one of them a day my cute pawn, don't let your tongue slip again or else I'll deliver the swift and stinging punishment that I promised this morning"
I shivered at his words, I'm a little scared at his threat of punishment, better watch my tongue.
Kenta's POV
I chuckle a bit in my head seeing my pawn shiver at me reminder. 'So cute, it's barely a challenge teasing her like this'
"Ah Kenta-Sama"
I turn to Akiko, to see her looking up to me.
"What did she meet by future pawn?"
"It's a devil thing Akiko, I'll explain it later"
"Very well, Maki-Dono-Sama, has asked that you, and the heiress to the Gremory household come to see him, in the grand hall while the others wait in the sitting room on the top floor"
'I wonder why he want to see us both'
"Very well, Akiko please show the rest to the sitting room, I'll take Rias and see what my grandfather wants"
We entered into the second elevator and began our accent.
"What do you think your grandfather wants to talk to us about?"
"I'm not too sure, probable just wants to welcome you to the village, himself, not often someone from the Gremory house comes to call, just a formality I'm sure"
As we exited the elevator I felt two strangely familiar presences, very strange, what is they doing here.
I stopped in my tracks trying to put a few things together. "Looks like I spoke to soon"
"What are you talking about?"
"This could prove to be interesting, what could those three...oh no. I should have seen this coming."
"What do you...?"
Her eyes widened, looks like she felt them to.
"What are they doing here?"
"I'm afraid we're about to find out, though I'm afraid we're too late"
We entered into the great hall, to see three figures standing near the main table.
One was my grandfather, the other was Rias' father lord Gremory and the second was a young woman about Rias' age with shoulder length brown hair, whose aura was similar to Rias'.
"Otou-Sama, Okaa- Sama"
'So the brunet is her mother, no wonder their aura are so similar'
"Ah Rias, good to see you made here safely, and Kenta-kun a pleasure to finally get to talk to the next head of the Maki clan"
"A pleasure, lord Gremory, I wasn't aware you were attending to nights events"
"Why of course, we have so much to celebrate, your health, the Maki clan coming to the devils side after all these years, and the joining of our families"
'There it is'
"W-what!"
Rias practically screamed that, looks like she wasn't expecting that. I looked to my grandfather.
"So I take it that was the reason behind you passing this sash onto me, you two killed two birds with one stone on that one"
my grandfather just smiled at me, "I wasn't intending on it to turn out like this, but when I was watching and listening to you two at the fountain last night I though it wouldn't hurt"
"Y-You were watching us Maki-Dono-Sama"
"My dear these old Sharingan eyes of mine aren't quite over the hill just yet, I can see and hear quite well"
"Yes other people having private moments it would seem"
My grandfather rubbed the back of his head quite sheepishly at my comment.
"I swear. When you will stop trying to run my life for me" Rias screamed at her parents.
"I thought you would approve of it this time Rias, after what lord Maki tells me you and Kenta were like at the fountain, I though you would be thrilled to be engaged, it would settle all disputes and work out for the best"
"I swear you people are...OOOOOOOOOOH!"
With that Rias stormed off into the side room, well that was kind of expected.
"I didn't think it would go down that badly"
"My daughter can be quite the stubborn one when she wants to be"
"She gets that from you dear, Kenta, would you perhaps try and persuade Rias into this"
"Yes I'm afraid we're at our wits end, I don't know what else to do"
'Great now I've got to play mediator, and I'm engaged', "I've got no problem with that but I may need to come back with some terms, would you two be able to agree with them if I did, it will probably be a waiting period before the actual marriage, you did just drop it on her"
The two Gremorys looked at one another before nodding.
'At least that give me a bargaining chip', "alright I'll give it a shot"
I went into the other room after Rias. I opened the door and closed it behind me, I turned to see Rias with her head in her lands on one of the sofas. I just shook my head and went over 'this girl'
"Well that could have gone better, you ok"
"I swear those two just can't leave well enough alone"
"Wow I never knew you we're that dead set against marrying me"
Her cheeks went red, and she looked away.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just I don't want made to do it by them"
"*sigh* well I'm not exactly thrilled about it ether, I thought I might get hooked into an arranged marriage one of these days, given that I'm the next clan head and they would want the head family to continue, but I'm a little sad to in a way"
"Why am I not good enough for you!?"
"No, I'm just sad cause I never got to propose to the girl I love"
Rias looked visible shocked at my words, and I mean really taken back, was she that surprized.
"Well now's as good a time as any I suppose"
I snapped my fingers and my energy started to flow into my hand and in a flash a small box appeared. Her eyes widened even more as I lowered myself to one knee.
"Rias Gremory, will you marry me"
I opened the box and inside was a gold engagement ring with three gemstones, the middle was a large ruby with two black sapphires on either side, slightly smaller in size.
Rias looked at it with her hands over her mouth her eyes beginning to tear up.
"Y-yes"
"You..."
That's all I got out before she jumped to me and hugged me pulling me down to the ground.
"Yes of course I will"
She then placed her lips to mine as we shared a passionate kiss as we held each other close for a few wonderful seconds. Until we parted. Both with ecstatic looks on our faces.
"But what about Akeno, Koneko and your future pawn won't they be sad if you choose me over them, I saw how you were with Mira this morning."
"something tells me Akeno is more of the mistress kind of girl, as for Koneko as long as she has my lap and my affections I don't think she'll care, as for my pawn and any other girl or member of my future peerage, they would all be second to you, my wife"
"So you're wanting a harem then"
"With you as the lead girl, would that be so bad"
"I suppose I can agree to that, but I claim you're first, as your fiancé and lead girl that is mine and mine alone"
"Fair enough, but I think we should leave the marriage a little while, we're not even out of school yet"
"I was hoping you were going to say that, I don't think they'll take it that well"
"I was able to convince them to give you as much time as you'd like, so how long you want to leave it is entirely up to..."
I couldn't get another word out before she kissed me again, I just went down and let her play with my mouth. She was enjoying herself to much. She broke it off about twenty seconds later for air.
"Oh Kenta, thank you"
She lay on my chest and I just stroked her hair, as we lay in front of the fire.
"Any ideas on how long we should make them wait for pushing this on us"
"Any length of time would be hard on us too"
"I agree, I know how about we postpone until I'm a high class devil, and given my strength that shouldn't be long, I wouldn't want to wait too long, and in the mean time you can plan for the day"
"I like that idea, but don't make me wait too long"
"I wont I promise"
I kissed her and ran my fingers done her back as she mewled to my pleasure. I rolled us over and began kissing down her neck lightly, careful not to leave any signs, as I let my hand slip under her skirt and gently brush over her panties as she gasped at my touch. And then pout as I withdrew.
"Don't stop"
"If only we could continue, but with your parents and my gramps in the next room and with the party now an engagement party happening in a few minutes, I'm afraid we'll just have to make do with this for now"
I pushed our lips together as I claimed her mouth and took dominance with my tongue she wrapped her arms around the back of my neck as I stood up, cupping her ass under her skirt and falling back on the sofa with her straddling me, we broke the kiss and she leaned against my shoulder.
"Ever since I saw you fighting that stray, I have wished for a moment like this"
"Well what about this moment" I asked as I slipped the engagement ring onto her finger.
She smiled as she looked at it, "and now the moment is perfect"
"Well shall we announce our decision to the three out there"
"I suppose we should"
Rias got up and I stood up behind her as we both walked to the door, slipped my hand under her skirt once again giving her baby fat a little pinch as she jumped, and I giggled.
'Oh I'm going to enjoy this so much'
Scene break
We opened the door to see those three eagerly awaiting our return.
Rias and I walked up to them, as we looked to each other with grins on our faces.
"Have you seen it our way Rias?"
Rias was about to speak when I cut in
"first of all I honestly don't see where you to see it as necessary to arrange our marriage, and why you can't just trust us to do the right thing if it was right we would have gotten married any way, all you three have done is irritated and stirred up trouble"
"But we can't leave it be, not when the future of pure blooded devils is a stake"
"oh please what do you two care, your house is already secure, or did you think I didn't know about Sirzechs son, you already have a grandchild by one of your children, pushing Rias to marry that raiser and then me is just plain greed, she's your daughter and yet you force her into something that she doesn't want to do"
They both hung their heads realizing their mistake, at how they were putting their greed for another grandchild above that of their own daughter. Rias just looked at me confused at why I was saying this.
"Your right, we were greedy, I guess we let our greed as devils get the better of us"
"Oh that's a load of bull, I've been a devil for three months now, and that so called devil greed is a pile of rubbish so quit using that as an excuse"
"y-your right, Rias, can you ever forgive us"
"Of course I can you're my parents, but I want to make it clear my life is my life to lead, and no one else"
"Of course we won't force anything on you again and we're sorry"
I look to Rias with a smirk, looks like she caught on to what I was doing, hey even the adults need a good tongue lashing every now and again.
"Now that that is all settled, I thought you should know, I tossed out your arrangement and proposed to Rias about five minutes ago"
The two Gremorys looked to us with shock
"And I said yes" Rias said ecstatically kissing my cheek and flashing the engagement ring.
"But then what was that whole speech about, if you had already proposed to her"
As they were asking Rias and I were walking towards the door.
"I just wanted to make sure you realized how stupid you were in that whole raiser incident, left me in a coma for a week remember, I just wanted to make sure you felt some shame in your part in that"
They were both speechless, as my grandfather chuckled to himself as Rias and I left
Out in the hall way the two of us laughed
"Oh thanks for that, they deserved every bit of that tongue lashing"
"Don't mention it I've been dying to do that ever since I first laid eyes on raiser, any parent who would set their child up to marry that prick deserves what I just gave them"
We entered the elevator and Rias leaned against me leaning her head on my shoulder, as we went up I enjoyed the love, I wrapped my arm around her waist and gave her a smile.
"So how do you want to tackle the announcement, I can dodge their attacks so straight out telling them would be an option, but if you want to get tricky with them, by all means"
"How about we leave it to your grandfather to tell them at the table the looks on their faces will be priceless"
"Oh I agree, especially Issei, I'm willing to bet he'll attack me after he hears it"
"Oh I don't think he'll be that bad"
"Want to bet"
"What's your pleasure?"
"Your ass, twenty four hours, from whenever I say, belongs to me whenever I want, no complaints, I can do whatever I want, no take backs"
Rias gulped, "and if I win"
I bent down to her ear "seventy two hours of the purest pleasure you have ever felt, complements of my Sharingan, all in a split second that will feel like three days of complete paradise"
"You're on" Rias gleamed
'That was fast must be her the devil in her lusting for me'
As the elevator doors opened and we walked into the top floor living room, the room was wide, with a half circle sofa and a massive eighty inch television, with a bar at the side of the room just before the kitchen, across the way there were two bedrooms and a bathroom and a stare case to the next floor. Everyone was sitting on the sofa drinking some tea, Akenos brew most likely.
As we came into view
Mira instantly got up and hugged me, tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry I asked such a stupid question earlier, I should never have pried into your family business, I'm so sorry"
I put my hand on her head and gave a sad smile, "it's alright you didn't know, I assume the others told you"
"Yes I realized I had upset you so I asked them why so as not to make you hurt further, I'm sorry"
"It's alright you did nothing wrong, now cheer up, seeing my future pawn cry makes me want to cry to, so please show me a smile"
She showed me a sad smile and I hugged her close, "that's my girl"
"Awe~, you're going to make a great king one of these days Kenta-kun" Akeno smiles at us
"I agree, putting your servants first above yourself is the mark of a good king" Rias said joining the praise
"I learned from the best"
Rias smiled at my complement
"Kenta-Sama"
I turned to see Akiko standing to my left
"Kenta-Sama, you're friends have explained to me about the devils so called evil piece system, and the functioning's of a peerage, and I have a request"
'I see where this is going, I was hoping she would ask', "ask and it will be granted"
"Hai, when you get your peerage, please take me as one of your servants I wish to server you always"
I smiled, "of course, you're welcome in my peerage, you've been a good friend and a loyal bodyguard you guarded me those ten days of training and watched over me the full week I was out, I would be honoured if you joined my peerage"
Akikos cheeks blushed hearing my words, "I am not worthy of your praise, thank you for having me, I will do my best to serve you"
"I'd expect nothing less from my Queen"
"Queen!?"
"That's right, I can think of no one better suited, will you accept?"
Her eyes went wide and a smile grew on her lips, as she gave a solid nod.
"Very well, then your first order as my future queen, report to my grandfather and check on the preparations for the party and report back when we are expected to appear"
"Hai, it shall be done my king"
She knelt to the ground on one knee with her arm across her chest, and head bowed, as she sunk into her shadow and disappeared. Much to everyone's shock.
"Wow" Issei
"...cool" Koneko
"Ara Ara, so full of surprizes" Akeno
"Wicked" Yumi
"*gasp*" Asia
"Interesting, so that's why you accepted her so quickly as your queen none the less"
"Of course, on top of her sacred gear, she's all so one of the best fighters of her generation in the clan, that being said I've never competed so that's not counting me, and she's loyal, kind and will follow orders without hesitation, all the makings of a perfect queen"
"You have chosen well"
"I always do, oh and while I remember, do you think you'd be able to work your magic to get my two future servants a place in the school, like you did for Asia, I won't have anyone in my peerage go without a first class education"
"Sure no problem"
"That goes for you too Mira, and B+ grades are expected anything less will result in privileges being withheld"
"Ara Ara, Kenta-kun your sadistic side is showing"
"It's not sadistic, it's called setting standards"
"Now why haven't I thought about that?"
"Probably because everyone in your peerage is hitting that standard of B+, well except Issei, that's why I chose it as my base line"
"Perhaps I should try it"
"Looks like Issei is screwed then, better step up Issei"
Issei drooped hearing that
"I look forward to the experience, my king"
I looked behind me as Akiko surfaced from my shadow facing the doorway.
"Preparations are complete we can come down any time, everyone from the ten key branches are taking their seats, and an extra table has been set up for everyone here"
"Very good, report back to them to prepare two more seats at my table as part of my future peerage, I would have to sit at the same table as me"
"I would be honoured my king"
As she sunk into the shadow again, I knelt down to her height
*flick*
"Ow"
"Drop the my king, ok its adorable coming from you but, Kenta-Sama is enough, I'm not your king yet, maybe when I am, but not now"
She bowed her head and sunk fully into the shadows
"Ok everyone let's make a move"
I snapped my fingers and my family sword appeared in my hand and I fastened it to the back of my kimono.
Everyone looked to me like I was preparing for battle
"It's tradition like the sash, the family sword is to be held by the next heir or head at all events, and since I'm the current owner that falls to me, let's go"
We all entered the elevator and got out on the third floor we took the side path to the main hall on this floor where the meal was being held.
"What about the rest of the clan are they being left out" Rias asked
"no, the opening speech is broadcast through a close circuit broadcast channel to every TV in the village and on every radio, since we can't fit ever member of the clan in the hall, that's the best we can do"
We entered in the side door where two men met us and lead us to our seats, I and Rias were sat the first branches table, Rias on my left, Mira one seat to my right, Akiko appeared out of the shadows as we arrived and took my immediate right. Everyone else was seated directly behind us at their own table.
to our right was my grandfather and, lord and lady Gremory, and to their right was the second branch of the family, my uncle Norio and his eldest son, his wife had passed away during child birth,
The other branches were lined up vertically in two rows to us stretching down the hall.
Everyone took their seats and servants poured out the sake to those of age, I just popped my own stash and poured my own, I offered to Rias, but she turned it down.
Everyone looked to the heads table to begin with his speech.
'Here we go'
My grandfather stood up holding his sake dish as he began his speech
"this celebration is to mark many things, my grandsons and future heir to the clan, joining us after so many years on his own, the fact that the clan will no longer be neutral in the three way conflict that has been going on for centuries, the fact that we will be siding with that of devils and the four Maou, and in celebration of this alliance we have chosen to solidify it through the bonds of marriage"
At that everyone began muttering, guess the cats about to burst for the bag.
"The marriage of two future heirs, my grandson heir to the clan head, and that of Rias Gremory heiress to the house of Gremory, shall be the bond that unites us to the devils and them to us"
Everyone falls silent for a moment, but the silence is broken by an angry yell from behind us
"KENTA!"
'Here it comes'
I turned my body static just as Issei lunged over the table for me, I lift my sake off the table just as he passes through me and slides along the table before he crashes to the floor.
I set my sake back on the table as I turned a glance at Rias, she had her head in her hands cursing herself for making a bet with me.
'Oh and I will collect my dear'
Issei is on the ground head spinning after he crashed, I was about to put him back in his seat when a voice speaks up on the far side of my grandfather
"Father I'm afraid I must protest"
I turn my gaze to that direction as dose everyone else, it was my uncle. 'He's against the marriage?'
"I understand that we are destined now to side with the devils in this conflict, but to allow a second generation of the head family, especially the first branch to be diluted, I kept quiet about it when Shoichi married outside of the clan, and when you supported his decision I supported him as well, but to allow this to happen again, with a generation right after the first, you risk to taint the future of the head family, with filthy blood"
*SLAM*
Everyone turned their heads the loud noise came from me slamming my fist down on the table, everyone close to me jumped slightly.
in the week I had spent here I had learned everything about my clans tradition as possible, by scanning every piece of text I could find in the clan library, and then reading it in my mind with the aid of my photographic memory, filthy blood was the most disgraceful term used to label those outside of the clan, it labels them as less than human, a beast not even worthy of our gaze.
I restrained myself from further acts of violence as I spoke with as much control and respect as I could.
"uncle I can understand your views on this matter and I respect them, as I respect all point of views on this matter, however I will not stand for that phrase, refer to anyone that I know or care about with it again, or even use it in my presence, and I will not stay silent, am I understood"
"I see you are just like your father, equally gazing and loyal to a fault, but I wonder where exactly dose yours fall"
Unbelievable, first he calls the woman I love less than us and now he's questioning my loyalties
"My loyalty is to my family as it has always been"
"but less than two weeks ago you didn't even know you had any family, other than that bastard of an older brother of yours, so how can you say your loyalty has always been with family, if you never even knew you had one"
"I'm afraid you're mistaken in my meaning of the term family. Family doesn't always stop at blood, family are those who watch over and protect you, who help you, care for you, who have your back through the good time and the bad, who will pull you from your darkness when you're so far gone you can't see the light, that is family and that is where my loyalty lies, right now you should be asking yourself that very same question, dear uncle of mine."
I could see my uncles fist visible clenching in anger as I spoke, once I finished he remained silent until my grandfather spoke.
"Well it's good to see that the matter is settled, now that that is settled, I propose a toast, to the marriage of Kenta and Rias, and to the unity of the clans"
"Kanpai!"
We raised our glasses and cheered, I raised mine with a smile. Rias blushed with embarrassment as I smiled at her.
The rest of the meal went off without a hitch. After the meal was done Rias and I were bombarded with members of the clan congratulating us on the engagement, my uncle and his son left the hall as soon as it started after an hour or so we managed to find a gap and slip out.
We managed to make it to the roof garden, and we both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Man, I knew I had a lot of relatives but that was ridiculous"
"And that was just from your family, just wait until my parents decide to throw us an engagement party in the underworld everyone will be there, it will be just as bad"
"Who knew getting engaged would be so much work, I thought that came with planning the marriage"
"Well most people aren't clan heirs"
The doors to the elevators opened and I smiled at Rias' reaction, the roof top garden was a complete oases. Floral from every corner of the globe, it was a private paradise.
"Oh wow"
"Yea that was my first reaction when I saw it"
Rias bent down and smelled the roses.
I just bent down beside her and cut one of the crimson red, before de horning it, and placing it behind Rias left ear, I smiled as she blushed.
"It's almost as beautiful as you"
She blushed even more as I looked into her eyes we both smiled, but the moment was short lived as the elevator opened and I had to turn static again, as Issei tried to spear me again.
"Kenta!"
He shot through me and into the rose bush. And then instantly out of it, after getting cut up. Asia followed after him to heal him, I couldn't help but remember mine and Rias' bet. I leant over to beside her ear and whispered softly.
"I look forward to collecting on our bet my dear"
She face palmed, looked like she was hopping I had forgotten, oh not on your life.
"Ara Ara, looks like the happy couple are enjoying some alone time"
"Well we were just swamped down there we just needed a breather"
I looked past Akeno to see the other girls with slight frowns on their faces.
I walked over and bent down to their heights with a curious look on my face.
"You girls sad that I'm marrying Rias"
"..."
None of them replied.
Yumi has a solid look on her face like she was still deciding, Koneko had a small frown and Mira looked like she had a forced smile on her lips.
"Well don't be Rias and I both understand that you all have feelings for me also, and neither of us want to hurt any of you, so if you are so inclined, Rias has permitted me a harem, as long as she is lead"
The second I spoke, I saw the light flash back into their eyes, even Yumi looked to be a little happier.
"Ara Ara, I can't wait to have an affair with a married man, Kenta-kun"
"...pervert-Senpais lap is still mine"
"Well isn't my future king a lucky one"
"Have fun"
I just smiled at the comments, as I heard moaning coming from Issei
"Kenta you lucky bastard"
"Sorry Issei looks like I'm leading four or five to one, better step it up or I'll be harem king"
Issei started crying anime tears
"So when's the big day, or have you not decided yet" Akeno asks
"Oh no we've decided" Rias replied hugging my arm
"We're going to wait until I become a high class devil, with my peerage, just to give everyone time to adjust to the announcement"
"Why put it off" Issei asked
"Payback on lord and lady Gremory" I smirked
"Those two and lord Maki dropped it on us when we arrived" Rias continued
"So I tossed out the arrangement, and proposed to Rias on the spot" I finished
Rias lifted her hand and flashed the engagement ring
"Wow look at the size of that rock" Issei said eyes wide.
I brought down my fist on Isseis head as he sunk to the ground again
"That was for the embarrassing me with that little tackle attempt in the hall, don't try it again"
Everyone giggled as Issei rubbed his head as the anime lump grew.
As we laughed Akiko appeared out of the shadow behind me and knelt down,
"Congratulations on your engagement, Kenta-Sama"
I turned with a smile, and patted her head, "thanks Akiko"
Her face blushed with a small frown, she looked like she was about to cry for a second,
A knelt down to her
"Kenta-Sama"
"Hey it's alright, you don't have to be sad. You'll still be by my side as my queen won't you?"
"Of course I will, I will always server you Kenta-Sama...always"
"I know you will, you're loyal and caring... but something is telling me it's more than just that isn't it"
Her cheeks blush even deeper,
"You have feeling for me don't you"
Her eyes went wide at my words, 'oh that's a yes'
"It's alright if you do, because the feelings are mutual"
"But you're getting married, and you..."
"Rias has permitted me a harem, it's a natural thing in the world of devils, so even if you can't be my legal wife you can still be with me"
Her frown faded and was instantly replaced by a smile as she nodded happily.
"Now come on everyone, this party isn't going to get started without the main guests"
""""""""HAI!""""""""
And that is that, ok first let me explain my main reasoning behind this.
First of all I couldn't really see anyone else with Kenta as a wife other than Rias, I know some people wanted Akeno, and personally she's my favourite in the whole DxD story, but in my opinion she's more of a Mistress type not the Wife kind, well not at the moment any way, but I really couldn't see Kenta with anyone but Rias is terms of marriage. (My Beta reader was shipping Akeno and Kenta when he was reading it, I got grief for this chapter, lol)
Second since I've put Rias in Kentas harem it would kind of stand to reason that if I followed the Cannon in any way that those two would fall in love and that Rias folks would push marriage on then when they travelled to the household in the summer so I thought I may as well get a jump start on it.
And my third reason, ever since I had the idea to make Kenta a future clan head I knew that those two would end up together, it was just a vision I've had in my head for a while and I knew it had to be done.
So love it or hate it what do you guys think please leave a review on your opinions of this chapter.
