Chapter 9: Reaction!

Recap:

"I heard ... you got engaged ..!" Sona stated simply, getting a red face Rias full of anger and embracement. Her spoiled attitude was telling her to say something to shut Sona's mouth, while one part of her wanted to ask Sons to help her so she could get out of her marriage. In the end, her spoiled attitude won as she said something that will closed any chances for her to get Sona's help.

"Thank you... but i couldn't say same thing about you..." said Rias.

Sona just chuckled getting a red face Road as she thought Sona was making fun of her but Sona continue and spoke "Oh silly me.. I didn't tell you.. yet... " paused Sona before a pure smile spread on her face "I got engaged, today"

Rias blinked and start laughing loudly. Sona eyes twitched when she saw Rias making fun of her engagement.

"Stop... joking... around... Sona..." said Rias somehow between her laugh. Sona just smiled and spoke "joking Rias..? I wasn't talking about your engagement " paused Sona as she saw completely red face Rias full of embracement and she continued "I got engaged today.. so it's obvious that you don't know... so I'll let you slide this time but next you make fun of my engagement..." again paused Sona as she let her little bit demonic power release around her, making huge temperature drop in the room, and she continue "We will have a problem then" said Sona sweetly but the aura around was screaming to froze everything around her and there was no way it was sweet.

Rias, who was already on her knees, sweet running down her face but in the same time she was feeling cold. It was so cold that it's mere presence can freeze you.

She nodded whatever demanded the 'Ice-princess' [1] made to her. As she nodded, she found the entire demonic aura, she was brought herself into, had gone, leaving her on her knees. Sona chuckled inwardly in amusement as she saw Rias in this type of condition and the reason behind her condition was Sona's demonic power. She never thought Rias was going to push her to released her little bit demonic power.

Her power is increasing exponentially. According to Serafall, even her power wasn't growing at this rate much to their parents joy, as they never thought Sona will ever show the same potential as their older daughter shown before, not to mention having the potential to surpass her.

"Good" simply stated Sona as nothing happened.

"So, who is he...?" asked Rias.

"That's secret~" replied Sona cheerfully, giving Rias another shock. As she never thought she'll live a day when Sona will act like Serafall.

"I bet Riser is better than him.."said Rias nonchalantly, She didn't care about Riser but she'll be damned if Sona get a better husband than her.

Sona blinked and stared at Rias and a moment later, burst out in laughing which quite unnerved Rias, and a visible anger expressions would displayed on her face if she didn't hide it in her 'fake smile'.

"Are you laughing at me, Sona?" asked Rias with a annoyed and anger expressions which was hidden of course, but Sona could easily find it anyway, after all she is a heiress too and a intelligent one.

"Of course.. not, why did you think so...?" replied Sona sarcastically, getting a full red Rias of anger. Sona didn't make Rias more mad and she continued "You said Yours is better than mine..?"

Sona emphasised the word 'Yours' making Rias flinched but her sentence wasn't a question, it's a statement. Rias didn't understand what her 'bestfriend' was getting at but she replied nonetheless "Y-ye-yes..."

This time Sona didn't laugh like last time but a anger expressions shown in her eyes and then she grinned and spoke "oh really...Rias? I didn't find a single trace of arrogance in him..?"

This time Rias couldn't hide behind her ' fake smile' as her mask completely broke. If the last time Rias was hiding behind her 'mask' and showing a half smile, this time it was completely broken as visible anger displayed om her face but Sona ignored it and continue "You know what... Rias..?"

"What...?" asked Rias half-heartily.

"He doesn't want me.. because I'm a Sitri, and a heiress of the clan nonetheless " paused Sona as she shifted her the direction of her face now facing the window of the room, now looking at the garden through the window, completely missing the disbelieving and somewhat a anger look of Rias' s face. "And you know what...? It was my house with my permission sent a marriage proposals to his house..."

If just a disbelieving look was the expressions of Rias before, it was now completely replaced by utter disbelief, shocked, stunned and somewhat betrayal. Her face showed bewildered expression, taken aback by Sona's sudden comment.

"B-but..." Rias started but cut off by Sona as she spoke "you do know what it means? Don't you, Rias...?" paused Sona as she thought about the moment when first time she met her Ise. She actually didn't meet him exactly, She bumped into him. A soft smile always spread on her face whenever she thought about that moment.

Sona turned around and saw, Rias clenched her fist angrily and now barely controlling her urge to not burst out in her anger. But that didn't stop Sona as she continued "And he accepted the proposals, of course, making it final. you know what, Rias?! He doesn't want me as his trophy wife or one of his conquest. He wants me as a SONA. JUST. SONA, nothing else matter to him... " Sona paused again as she thought about the moment when her futuremother-in-law taught her cooking for the first time and how did she treated her like she was her mother. That was something Sona value above all of thing 'the love of the family' after all her parents mostly busy in household affairs. And it also wasn't like they didn't love her. NO her parents love her dearly. Not to mention she also have an overprotective obsessive Onee-sama, who didn't think a single time before showering her in her affection. [2]

"even if I somehow disown by Sitri Clan, he'll still want me.They will want me" finished Sona, getting a stunned Rias as the bold comment from Sona's completely caught her off guard. She opened her mouth to say something but words could come to her mouth as she thought if she ever get disown by her clan, what will she do? No her brother won't let that happen and so Sona's sister too. But still Sona could say something so easily and still then someone want her just for being Sona, was completely ridiculous in Rias's mind as something like that couldn't be real. She always thought about true 'love' and wanted to marry someone for love, not just for it was 'arranged' , but that thought completely vanished from her mind when her family told her about RiserPhoenix and her arrange marriage. And here she was standing in front of herbest friend , who will marry someone she loves unlike her! And more of that it was Sona's family who 'sent' her marriage proposals after getting 'Sona's' permission. Why didn't her family did that for her?

But before Rias asked any anything a voice came from her behind "Are you having fun, Ria-tan..?"

Turning around, Sona caught the site of Sirzechs , her Onee-sama, and her parents.

Seeing her Onii-sama, Rias cheered. "Onii-sama... you returned..." asked Rias . To which Sirzechs shows his famous gremory smile and spoke "Haii Ria-tan"

"Do you know Onii-sama.." paused Rias then looked at Sona then again at her Onii-sama and continue "Sona is engaged"

That caught Sirzechs Lucifer completely off-guard. Serafall and Lady Sitri just giggled and Lord Sitri chuckled.

Sirzechs turned to Lord Sitri while maintaining his 'leader' face and asked "is it true..? Lord Sitri..?"

Lord Sitri was about to answer his questions but Serafall beat him to it as she spoke "Haii... Sirzechs-Chan.. today Sona got engaged... but not only Sona get engaged today..." paused Serafall as pink blush form on her face but before she continues, Lady Sitri spoke "She mean.. she also got engaged today.. Sirzechs-san"

Sirzechs was dumbfounded for a moment but a realization suddenly hit his mind as his eyes widened and he asked again to confirmed "you mean to tell me both Sona and Serafall got engaged today...?"

"Haii.. Sirzechs... isn't it the news of celebration...?" asked/ said Lord Sitri with a amused smile.

"But with whom..?... if you don't mind me asking.." asked Sirzechs.

"No.. not at all.. both of them engaged to same person... "paused Lord Sitri as he looked at the disbelieving face of Sirzechs and continue "his name is Issei Hyoudou "

BACK TO ISSEI

Currently Issei was laying on his bed trying to get some sleep, but he knew the sleep was on wait. After today's certain 'event' , he found himself completely lost. He had no single clue how to deal with this situation. True, he was marked by his Ophis-hime for a long time. But after that she was always be by his side, helping him directly or indirectly in anything as she called 'A wife duty'. [3]

And there was his Rumi-chan, at first she was his only friend before Ophis-hime came to his life. He always felt something for his Rumi-Chan but didn't know what was it. He still have a hard time to believe it, but he certainly knew that with time it will get smoother as his grandfather said earlier 'give it some time... it will get smoother '.

As for Tiamat, he didn't know in which category he will put her. Sometimes she got clingy, most of the times she acted quite flirtish but she also could act seriously when the situation demanded, not to mention she proud herself. And why wouldn't she..? She is a Dragon king for his 'father' same and the strongest of all current Dragon king. She rank #1 if you removed dragon gods of course.

Kunou, the first friend he made when he moved into Kyoto. He has mixed feelings for her but it wasn't like he doesn't like her.

Valine, Naruki, and Satuski were the new additions to his family. He didn't know what to feel about them. Given time, he'll surely develop feeling for them too.

And there was Irina, his childhood friend. Sure, Rumi-chan forgot about her but he didn't, She was his childhood friend after all. And he didn't know how she will going to react when she comes to know about his current situation. Just thinking give Issei a headache.

And now, Sona and Serafall, he surely get along with Sona not to mention their last night sleeping together. But Serafall was the wild card, he didn't completely understand her. Maybe in future he'll get to know her.

He distracted from his thought when he sensed some movements in his cheek. As he opened his eyes he found Kunou was caressing his cheek with one of her tails.

'Her tails... so soft... ' thought Issei as he looked at her with a smile and a blush. The said girl was caressing the cheek of 'her' Ise-koi with her eyes closed.

•••

•••••

Not only Issei was in deep thinking, Kunou too. According to her, it was not fair. She met Issei before the Sona's. So she should be the one who engaged to her 'Ise-koi'.

Issei was her first friend. Being born as Royalty wasn't that awesome that everyone think it is. Yes, you can get anything you wanted but not everything, like spending a quality time with her mother. Her mother was too much busy in her work that she hardly have enough time to play with her. It was always one of her mother's loyal servent who played with her, and keep an eye on her when her mother was not around or busy in a important meetings. Growing up, she didn't have a single friend as her mother told her that most of the people just try to please her or try to hurt her since she is her mother's daughter.

Kunou was born with an ability to sense emotions such as hatred and killing intent in individuals around her, much to her mother surprise. According to her mother, she inherited this ability from his father , whom Kunou never met. And her mother didn't tell her about him at all. In fact that was the first time her mother even mentioned about his father in her presence. That was story for another time, back to current topic.

Kunou as she sensed negative emotion, was only trusted her mother and her bodyguards who were extremely loyal to her mother thus loyal to her too. She usually spent her play time with one of her mother's bodyguard or wandering around the park, near to their palace while some of guards keeping an eye on her. In fact that was how she met Issei .

That day she sneaked out of palace and the guards were failed to notice her departure. And she was glad they did as she met Issei, her first friend. When she met him, she was struggling against some rough devils, who were targeting her because she was the daughter of Yasaka. If it wasn't for Issei, she didn't know what will happen to her. Even her mother arrived after Issei saved her but she doubted that she would arrive at correct time. When she sensed Issei, she doesn't feel any negative feeling towards her rather at the devil around her, she only felt warm sensation around her, felt she will be safe and secured around him and that draw her attention towards him.

Not to mention other girls who were treating her as their family member. At first it was only Ise-kun and Phis-chan [4] and others were start to join their little friend circle. She never thought she'll ever make this many friends. And she was glad she did. They completely filled the gap of loneliness in her heart, much to her mother's delight.

She looked at Issei who was sleeping peacefully next to her and start gently caressing his cheek with one of her tails, feeling the warmth he was providing and closed her eyes but didn't stop caressing her 'Ise-koi' cheek as her life depend on it.

Unknown to her, Issei was already awake and her little 'caressing' turned his attention completely to her. As Issei start rubbing her fox ears, making her purr.

Kunou slightly opened her eyes and found herself in loving gaze of her 'Ise-koi' , those golden eyes with filled with love and care for her and those around him, looking at her, making her blushed neon red.

"Did I ever tell you ... How cute you look when you let you fox ears and tells out...?" asked Issei, still rubbing her ears, making her purr and giggle same time.

"Y-Ye-Yes... Many times..." replied Kunou between her purr and giggle. Really her 'Ise-koi' was the only one who make her feel different type of loving emotion/gestures at the same time.

Issei simply smiled at her reply and asked "Are you feeling okay..Kunou-chan?" this time his tone of voice filled wih seriousness and concern of her.

Kunou smiled as she felt the emotion he was leaking, and spoke "yes.." She then looked at his golden eyes, those shinning golden eyes... She always feel completely lost in those golden eyes... It attracted her more and more whenever she payed a single glance at it and in the end, she found herself lost in those eyes.

"What about you...you know?!" asked Kunou somehow as she pulled herself from those attracting golden eyes.

Issei sighed deeply and replied "there was lot to take in... After what happened today "

Kunou looked at him, knowing full well by saying where he was going and said "I understand... But you should know.. I.. we... will be your side "

Issei blinked once and twice as her words reminded him of certain developmnt among the girls which was completely unknown to him untill now. He didn't ask anything from any of girls. It wasn't for he didn't want to know, it's for he didn't know what and how to ask. But finding himself having a comfortable conversation even laying next to each other, he decided to ask her opinion. Kunou was his very first friend when he moved into Kyoto. So who's better person for discussion that matter.

"Ne, Kunou-chan... " started Issei as he looked directly into her golden eyes, making her blush and spoke "You know... the girls discussion about ... you know .." Issei tried to ask nervously but the exact words weren't coming from his mouth. Kunou found the behavior of Issei cute as she merely giggle in his response, giving Issei a mini-shock.

"You wanted to know my opinion, Ise-kun..?" asked Kunou as she could read Issei like an open book. Issei nodded at her question .

Next thing Issei felt Kunou moving as she rolled on her side and snuggled close to him. Intentionally, this made her press her form on the young dragon-god, causing him to blush in response.

"K-Ku-Kunou-ch-chan" stuttered Issei. He maybe get used to sleep with girls in same bed but 'snuggling' was something he didn't get used to it. It doesn't matter how many times they snuggled into him during sleeping. Every morning when he awoke up he found too much close to him. But still every time he blushed.

"Y~es... Iss~ei-ku~n" replied Kunou playfully. Unknown to her, her words changed the colour of her face that put his own hair in shame.

"Quit teasing him.. Kunou-chan" said a third voice, catching both of them off guard as they thought they were the only one who were awoken. Both of them didn't need to turn around the voice of the person but they did nevertheless, and found Ophis-chan was looking at them with an sleepy eyes.

Ophis moved closer to Issei and put her head between Issei's chest and shoulder and wrapped her hand around his chest, making Kunou jealous and Issei blushed if any left after Kunou' s teasing, at the same time.

"Ophis-hime..." Issei said as he found Ophistoo much closer to him. It wasn't the first time though, it reminds him of first night after his 'Ophis-hime' joined Hyoudou Household.

"You, do not have to worry about, ...My Ise" mumbled Ophis, enough to heard by Issei.

"But... Oph-.." started Issei but Ophis looked directly at his eyes and put her index finger on his lips, making him silence.

"I know... what are you thinking right now. But give your thoughts some rest. If you are thinking you will hurt any of girl's feeling by polygamy then what do you think will happen when you reject them..? " Ophis said with a serious face, still looking directly into his eyes. Issei blinked then the realization hit him, making his eyes widened but before he ask anything a voice inside him spoke to him.

"{She is right, patner}" Ddraig said as he can clearly feeling the uneasiness of his host.

Issei blinked at the voice and sighed as he heard Ddraig-Chan.

"But...Ddraig-chan, ...but polygamy..." Issei tried to say but stopped when he heard Ddraig-chan laughing.

"Hahahhahahhhah" Ddraig continued his laughing when he heard the reason that worried his host.

Issei eyes twitched at his partner laughing. Here he was seriously worrying about something that not only linked with his life only, others too. And he cared about them deeply and won't do anything that will harm any of his household members as well as peerage members.

Ddraig stopped laughing when he felt his host irritation. Try not to irritate more his host anymore he spoke with a serious wise tone "Polygamy... you say partner...?"

Issei nodded mentally at his partner question, making Ddraig smirked.

"You aren't a human, Issei..." paused Ddraig as he looked at the stunned face of his host and his smirked widened and continue "I think... now you understand... huh..? And tell you what..! Polygamy is completely normal in our race" finished Ddraig with a smirked as he know he clearly win the argument.

Issei eyes widened as his partner comments. How could he forget that basic things about his own race..? Polygamy is completely normal thing for a dragon, even devil, fallen angels and some other supernatural races are known for having more than one wife.

Ophis didn't say a single word during the whole conversation between Issei and Ddraig as she was only studying her 'mate' facial expressions. Which she can only think that either her mate was in deep thinking or having a conversation with someone and judging by her mate facial reaction she concluded that her mate was having a conversation with someone. And someone she could only think was either Ddraig or her 'father-in-law' Baka-R... Great Red.

Kunou was completely clueless at current behavior of Issei. She found it odd as she never saw Issei acting like now Issei was acting and try to ask him but stopped by Ophis. As she shook his face and connected Kunou mentally and directly spoke to her in her mind "let him give some time... Kunou-chan"

Kunou eyes widened as she forgot the ability of telepathy of Phis-chan. She looked at her and found her who was now staring at her. She nodded at her direction and drifted off to sleep .

With Issei ,

When the conversation between his partner and him,was over, he found Ophis was still looking at him with a small smile.

"...Ophis-Chan...?" asked Issei with a confused expressions that was completely written on his face.

Hearing her mate voice, Ophis smile widened and leaned closer to Issei face and give a peak on his cheek, making him blushed.

"Ophis-chan...!" said Issei, blushing badly. If last time he called her with a confusing manner then this with a embracing blush on his face. Ophis just giggled at her mate reaction as she found him cute.

Normally, no one saw Ophis giggle before let alone even a emotion on her face. To them she is just a emotionless dragon god. But she did have emotion back then even if it was hidden somewhere inside of her that awaken after her fateful meeting with her destined mate.

"You, seemed realised... what am I trying to say.." asked Ophis, but Issei could easily identified it wasn't a question, it's an statement.

He nodded and spoke "What am I going to do without you, hime?"

As he finished his comments, he smirked and leaned closer to Ophis and give her a peak on her cheek before she could reply, making her blush this time and his smirked only widened as he saw the red blush appeared on her face.

"Anyway, thanks for the talk Ophis-hime" Issei said and wrapped his around Ophis, who snuggled closer to Issei and enjoying the warmth her mate body realising.

Issei chuckled at her behavior and turn his head other direction to looked at Kunou who already fallen asleep.

"My Ise..." mumbled Ophis and drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile in UNDERWORLD

"H-HYOU-HYOUDOU...? DID YOU JUST SAY HYOUDOU...?" cried/exclaimed Sirzechs. To say Sirzechs was staggered would be an understatement he never lost his cool during any serious discussion… But this… This was something else!

This is the first time Sona was seeing the 'Crimson Satan' acting like a school boy who was just told that today is a suprise rest. She looked at her Onee-sama and found she was acting like usual. ' Jeez, Onee-sama! we are discussing about marriage... at least, now you can act seriously...' thought Sona in her mind and signed.

The outburst of Sirzechs greatly suprised Rias. Rias may see her Onii-sama acting like a child but she never saw her Onii-sama lost his clam nature in the middle of a important talk, this is the first time she was seeing her Onii-sama losing his cool. Even when her own marriage agreement came to light, it wasn't shocking for him like he already knew about it. She didn't know about this 'Hyoudou' character and what they did to make her Onii-sama to lose his patient. All Rias could say that they aren't from 72-Pillars of the Underworld. She didn't learn anything outside that underworld and The Rating Game . To her learning about that didn't consider underworld, is complete waste of time. Rias, has only one dream.. To Become The Champion Of The Rating Game and to become one underworld's knowledge is enough, so why wasting time in focusing that didn't consider underworld, more importantly The Rating Game. After all, Angels, fallen angels, dragons, Yokais, etc other supernatural races didn't have any peerage. So why wasting her time to learn about them.

Lord & Lady Sitri stared at 'Crimson Satan' after all it's been a really awhile when they were seeing Sirzechs lost his cool.

Lord Sitri merely raised an eyebrow and spoke "Yes, I did... what of it..?"

Sirzechs, who already lost his cool now give a look like he has just seen a ghost (in his case, GOD) when he heard Lord Sitri reply.

Somehow Sirzechs calmed himself before he spoke "Hyoudous aren't devils... And by seeing low number of purebloods ... I can only suggest..." before Sirzechscould finish, Lady Sitri interrupted him and spoke "huh..? Suggest..? Contracts were already made.. and even if it isn't... my both daughters liked Issei." said Lady Sitri in a very sweet dark tone that promised pain, lots of pain if her daughters love declined, sending a chilling down in his spine.

Sirzechs could feel a shiver down in his spine and getting himself nervous, in front of a mother of two daughters. But he composed himself and tried to change her decision after all, he is 'Lucifer' his decision is what matters.

"B-Bu-But... p-pure" nervously started Sirzechs to explain his reasons, only to cut off by Serafall no less.

"Huh.? Pureblood~ ? but aren't the maous are allowed to marry anyone...~?" asked Serafall playfully but inside of her there was a rage building that no one notice except Lady Sitri.

Sirzechs knew there was no way to stop Serafall but what about Sona? So he said what he shouldn't "But what about Sona?! She is the heiress of..." But before Sirzechs could finished the entire room filled with huge amount of killing intent, and it didn't stop every second it was growing and growing but it was solely directed towards Sirzechs but other in the room could feel the pressure of her demonic killing amount.

"...OUR CLAN. And CLAN head have the power to decide where any member of clan could marry or not. Even Maou couldn't interfere with it. " said Lady Sitri spoke, making Sirzechs shiver at her cold tone. It was widely known by entire Underworld that Lady Sitri loved her family dearly. If someone threaten her family, let's just say there was hell to pay. Even in Devil Civil War, She took down 2 battalion of High Class Devils who sent to assassinate Serafall. That day, underworld saw the fury of a mother, not just a mother , mother of current Leviathan. Even in Devil society, that day was rememberd as a 'Warth of a Mother' Anyone who remembered that day, never, absolutely never pissed her off. And the tone he heard just now form her, the look on her face kinda reminded him of that day.

Seeing her wife behavior Lord Sitri took a step away from her wife.

Sona, herself first time was witnessing her mother cold behavior. She heard about her mother's warth many times, either from her family or from books.

Rias was at it's worse, She never thought someone could make her Onii-sama nervous, let alone shivered. Granted there are lots of stronger being in the existence that could surpass her Onii-sama but in the Underworld her Onii-sama is the Lucifer,so he is the strongest so why her Onii-sama is nervous?

Serafall was completely lost in her thoughts, completely missing her beloved mother change in behavior. when she heard Sirzechs tried to interfere her sister, her beloved baby sister marriage by giving a poor excuse of purity of blood, She was mad...So mad... No! She is FURIOUS!

Soon the entire room filled with tremendous amount demonic power, it was so intense that the ground began to shake and the temperature dropped as ice began to form in all the windows around the castle. And if look outside the window, you'll find the sky was completed darkened, ices now covering the trees with a layer of it.

'T-this power.' Thought all the young devils (Sona & Rias) trembling in fear.

Even Lord Sitri stunned at the power her older daughter realising. He knew her older daughter wasn't as strong as a Super-devil though she is the strongest woman in the Underworld but still She wasn't a Super-devil and that was something unnerved her daughter so secretly she started to train herself more and more. And now he can clearly see the growth in her daughter power. The power she was putting out was something they never thought would be possible.

The power was so intense that it snapped out Lady Sitri as she looked at her daughter face. All she could see was the two large bang were covering her daughter face, making her worry at her daughter stare.

'She has gotten stronger.' Thought Sirzechs as sweat began to form in his brow. He knew that Serafall was powerful, but this power could match a Super-class Devil more importantly him.

"What exactly do you mean, Sirzechs?" Serafall asked in very low tone, making a shivered down in his spine. He began to sweating uncontrollably.

"Serafall... I... I mean... it's Sona's future afterall " Sirzechs try to change the subject but little did he know...

Hearing his poor excuse, Serafall calmed down after all she was making her baby sister nervous too, which she would like to avoid as much as possible.

"She was completely fine with the contract, Sirzechs" answered Serafall in very clam and serious tone, remembering him why was she choosen as 'Leviathan', not to mention carrying the title of strongest woman in underworld.

Rias had enough. She didn't know about this 'Hyoudous'. And why her Onii-sama so reluctant towards them..?

"What's so important about this Hyoudou...? I bet there aren't as worthy as Gremory or even any other underworld pillars " said Rias arrogantly with a smug smile.

Lord and Lady Sitri stared at her with the look that clearly mean 'how in the she become heiress' while Serafall igoned her as she didn't exists in the room. Sona only rolled her eyes at her friend comment, she won't be suprise in future if Rias says her Onii-sama defeated Ophis, heck she even know who is Ophis ... maybe in future but know?

Sirzechs face was now full of embracement, he was missing the company of his queen, Grayfia. She has a nack for saving him from being embraced. But he can't let her baby sister speak more as her baby sister is also the heiress of 'Gremory clan' so she was representing Gremory also, more like embracing. So he decided to stop her before she embrace more. "Ria-tan, I'll tell you when we get back, all I can tell you now is... the very powerful... important too... more than... Gremory..." said Sirzechs last part reluctantly, getting a disbelieve eyes from her baby sister whose eyes were now the same size of soccer as she still believe her house is the greatest even greater than original 'Lucifer' , after all her bother is current 'Lucifer', means he surpassed original Lucifer, little did she know.

"Anyway... Lord Sitri., now underworld has an alliance with Hyoudou, right...?" asked Sirzechs hopefully.

Lord Sitri looked at him with a narrowed eyes before replying "NO, it's clan alliance & businesses, Lord Lucifer"

Sirzechs blinked and spoke "But an alliance with Hyoudou will greatly improve..."

"...Underworld, we know" finished Lord Sitri. Sirzechs looked at him without any emotion or a emotionless face and spoke "So...?"

"They aren't interested in politics.." simply stated Lord Sitri, that was completely lie everyone know except for a certain red hair girl.

Lady Sitri, Serafall and Sona inwardly chuckled at her husband/ father's unique way to handle the things.

While, on the other hand Sirzechs didn't like the way conversation going.. But he couldn't say anything to counter.

He sighed, knowing he couldn't say anything to have Hyoudou to form a alliance with underworld instead of just Sitri clan. Since Hyoudous have different types of Alliance And close relationship with other powerful races. And with Sitri having a close alliance Hyoudou which marriage, no doubt their influence will surpass the Gremory in the near future.

"Besides, my father, former head of our clan promised an marriage alliance between Sitri and Hyoudous..." informed Lord Sitri as a matter of fact, catching everyone attention.

"Oh dear... now I remember ..." thought aloud Lady Sitri. Serafall smirked as now she remembered her grandfather promise to Hyoudous, which she love to fulfill.

Sona mearly titled her head as had no clue about what promise, her parents and Onee-sama were talking about but by judging the smirk on her Onee-sama, She could clearly say it'll be good news.

"Marriage promise...?" asked Sirzechs, still didn't sure if was it a good thing to ask as anything he said today, was backfiring at him.

"Yes, Lord Lucifer, Lord Hyoudou saved my father's life back then and my father promised an marriage alliance between Sitri Clans and Hyoudous, which was still in up hold..." replied Lord Sitri with an amused smile, getting an stunned face of Sirzechs. While Sons and Rias eyes widened.

"So it's arranged marriage then..?" said Rias with a smug smile.

Lord and Lady Sitri frowned at her comment but ignored like everyone did.

"So that's why, you don't have any problem with the marriage and agreed immediately " stated Sona with a calculating look. It's more of a question than a statement or comment.

"One of the reason Sona-chan.." replied Lady Sitri said softly. Her answer rises another question in Sona's head and she didn't wait for another moment before asking it "one of the reason...?"

Lord Sitri didn't reply, he simply walked to her and gently put his hand on her and patted heed and spoke "Yes... one of the reason So-Chan... if you say no to marriage, there will be no marriage So-Chan... remember So-Chan, if we ever talk about it...? Ever trying to put you or Sarefall in any marriage contract/ agreement... No! Absolutely No! Sona... " paused Lord Sitri and looked towards ceiling and remember the time when his both daughters born, when he hold his daughter for the first time and a warm smile spread on his face and he continued "When i hold you and Serafall for the first time in my arms just after you both were born... I promised myself I'll become the best father in the entire supernatural world... I won't do anything that could harm any of you or take away the smile from your faces... you both are too precious to me ..." before he could finished, Sona tackled him in a tight embrace. And if you could her face, you can simply say there are tears running down from her eyes.

Serafall smiled warmly but the words that came from her father, made her eyes waterly too.

Even Lady Sitri eyes watered at her husband statement. There was one thing she loves her husband about is, like her, he also loves his family darely.

Sona broke the embrace at looked at the her father with a loving gaze before she spoke "Arigato, Tou-sama .. it's mean a lot for me..."

In reply, Lord Sitri didn't say anything he just leaned towards her and give a parental kiss on her forehead.

Rias was looking at the scene between a father and a daughter and couldn't help but feel jealous. Why didn't her father could say thing to her? Why did her father agreed to the marriage contract between her and that person ?

'It's so unfair, Sona without knowing, fell for the guy, whom her parents wanted her marry? ... Why didn't same thing happened to her..?' thought Rias as she gritted her teeth.

"Lady Sitri was watching the interaction between her husband and daughter and then smirked before she spoke "Besides I heard So-Chan, loves to cuddle my dear future son-in-law while sleeping. ... isn't it Sera-chan..?"

Her statement caused many type of reaction. Sirzechs and Lord Sitri had a shocked face full of disbelieve. While Rias was looking at Sona like she didn't know who is she now. Sona face colour now could put Rias's hair in shame.

Serafall giggled and replied "Haii, Kaa-sama... just wait few years .. you will have lots of grandkids .."

Sona couldn't take her mother and sister teasing as she anime tears running down from eyes and she exclaimed "KAA-SAMA! ONEE-SAMA"

HUH..! BEEN AWHILE...
