Chapter 31: Chapter 30 He Will Be Back
In the vast and luxurious castle, the servants in formal attire were constantly at work.
Today is a special day. Riser Phenex, the Third Son of the Phenex family will have his coming of age ceremony today.
There are guests who came in the Castle from time to time to watch and congratulate, the whole Phenex house is more lively than usual. As the heir to Phenex Family who inherited the Phenex Bloodline, Riser's Coming Of Age Ceremony would naturally be watched by many big characters in Underworld.
In the magnificent hall, the guests had gathered for an impromptu reception and they were toasting and chatting with each other. A Magic array appeared on this hall and several figures appeared-
There was a Red-Haired Man, a beautiful Silver-Haired Women in Maid clothing, and two beautiful girls.
"Lucifer Sama."
Everyone stopped talking and bowed to the Red-Haired man who appeared.
Sirzechs Lucifer was originally the Eldest Son of the Gremory family but he inherited the name of Lucifer because of his powerful Magic Power and excellent ability, he is one of the Four Great Satans.
The Maid beside Sirzechs is not a mortal. She is beautiful and has a cold temperament. Her name is Grayfia Lucifuge. She is known as the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation and she is also the strongest Queen of Underworld.
The two girls who appeared with Sirzechs and Grayfia were not some unknown people, it was Rias and Akeno!
"Raise your heads, everyone." Sirzechs smiled and nodded to the surrounding guests.
Despite being one of the Four Great Satans, Sirzechs is known for his kindness that is rarely seen even among the other Great Satans. Although his position was questioned by many people, more of them are his lovers and followers.
A passage was cleared from the crowd, and the Hosts, the Lord Phenex and his wife came over:
"Long time no see, Sirzechs. How is Lord Gremory?"
"I haven't seen you in a long time, Lord Phenex, and my father is all well, and he asked me to apologize and Congratulate you on his behalf."
"Is this Princess Rias of the Gremory family? Sure enough, you are as beautiful as rumors made you out to be. Last time I saw you, you were still a kid, I didn't expect you to grow so fast."
"Greetings Duke Phenex, thank you for your praise."
Sirzechs and Duke Phenex greeted each other, and the next Rias also bowed down as a junior.
The dressed-up girl is noble and beautiful and dignified, but unlike the confidence of the past, the smile of the girl today is quite reluctant, and the gem-like eyes are filled with a layer of melancholy.
Before leaving, she was informed by her father that he wanted her to marry one of Phenex's heirs. Even her older brother, who had always loved her had also agreed to this matter, and he also came to investigate for her on the basis of this ceremony, until now, Rias has not recovered from the confusion.
Although Rias knew that this day would come sooner or later, she didn't expect it to come so fast and so suddenly. It's not that she didn't think about refusing it but her life is destined to be like this being the eldest daughter and next head of Gremory family.
Standing silently on the side, she didn't listen to the conversation between Duke Phenex and her older brother. The girl's heart was filled with endless confusion...
"Rias ..."
Looking at Rias' expressions, Akeno next to her became concerned.
Although they are nominal Master and Servants in the Peerage, they have long been sympathetic to each other in these two years. Akeno knew that Rias is confused right now but she can't intervene in these things and can't help her.
"You are the human girl who has Fallen Angel Bloodline? I have heard about you and my boy."
Duke Phenex's voice suddenly fell on Akeno's ears and there was a rare gentle smile on his firm face.
"Du, Duke ..."
Akeno, who was worried about Rias, was stunned by the attention she was getting from such a big man and she was at a loss for a moment.
Of course, it was not because the disparity in their identity and status that Akeno was nervous, what really makes Akeno at a loss is another identity of the Duke Phenex-
Tenraku's Father!
"That boy's taste is not bad. He said before he left that he would come back today. You should be able to see him today."
"Come back, Tenraku is coming back ..."
Hearing Duke Phenex's words, Akeno was stunned, and then a small smile appeared on her face.
Surprise, excitement, joy ... The girl can no longer use words to describe her mood at this moment.
Come back, Tenraku, who she cares and ask about every day will come back!
Looking at Akeno's surprise and excitement, Rias on the other side became more resentful—
"Damn it Akeno, I'm almost forced to do this but you only think about that guy. Traitor! No loyalty! I hate you!"
...
In the large and magnificent room, a Golden-Haired Handsome Man is being carefully dressed by several maids—
This person is Riser Phenex!
Devils have long lifespans, so their Coming of Age Ceremony gets performed later than humans. Riser has been waiting for this day for too long, and today, the whole world will be his stage.
Identity, Status, Power... Every single one of them is an enviable existence. As the descendants of the Phoenix, he as the Third Son Of The Phenex family has absolutely pride in himself.
He was so excited and there was an uninhibited smile on his face, he couldn't wait!
"Karlamine, come here, I want to enjoy your fragrant lips."
Looking at Karlamine among the other girls, he commanded, with a trace of enchantment hovering around his mouth.
Karlamine turned white at the sound, but she bit her lip and didn't move.
"Why, Karlamine, you who will be my Knight dare to disobey your master's orders?"
Karlamine's reaction caused Riser to frown and his face darkens. For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole room became tense, and all the other women around froze. Finally, Yubelluna stood and spoke:
"Master Riser, please bear with her. We will conclude a contract with Lord Riser when the ceremony is over, and become your Peerage members. Then any orders of Lord Riser will be executed by Karlamine."
"The Ceremony is about to begin Master Riser, you shouldn't keep your guest waiting."
After a change of expression, Riser finally stopped with a cold snort, but he still gave Karlamine a cold look as he passed by her.
He will punish this ignorant woman after the contract is concluded!
"Karlamine, this would be the only time I save you, don't have any illusions anymore, His Royal Highness Tenraku will not come back."
Looking at Karlamine lightly and knowing what she was thinking, Yubelluna said.
"No, he will come back!"
Raising her head, Karlamine's eyes were filled with stubborn perseverance.
Shaking her head, Yubelluna was too lazy to say anything more. Even if His Highness Tenraku came back, he is someone who couldn't awaken the Phenex Bloodline and he had no talents. He couldn't compare with Lord Riser. If he does come back then he would only bring shame to himself, that is the reality and the reality is always cruel.
Of course, Yubelluna doesn't miss the one-in-a-million chance that Lord Tenraku actually returns and beats Lord Riser, if that's the case -
It would really be a Miracle!
