Kiba stiffened at the mention of the word 'Excalibur' but Rex ignored him.

"But Ddraig. I'll say this once and only one." Rex spoke, his voice nearly as much a growl as Ddraig. "Don't. You. Dare. Talk about Elsha. In front of me." A spear made of light appeared in Rex' hand as he pointed it at the gauntlet that the Boosted Gear took the form of. 

"I've a damn good mind to kill your host, or at the least severely harm her, right here and now, just so you don't get your precious rematch with Albion."

Isane widened her eyes and began to sweat. She had barely any mastery of the Boosted Gear, and after how Rex had killed Apoge as easily as he did, she didn't have a chance in hell of defending herself against him.

"Choose, Ddraig." Rex spoke, in the same chilling tone, as the room's temperature dropped another degree or so. "Your desire to not miss out on a battle with Albion for the third time? Or your desire to get revenge on me?"

There was a tense silence for a full thirteen seconds, as everyone in Rias' peerage, as well as Grayfia, began to subtly prepare for a fight.

However, it didn't come to that, as Ddraig gave a ["Hmph."] and the Boosted Gear deactivated itself. Rex gave a sigh, and the room began to thaw itself, as a result of returning to its normal temperature.

"Good." Rex remarked, waving his hand and casting a spell that dried everything up. Rias, who had gone quiet, spoke up.

"Rex, why did you threaten to kill a member of my peerage?!" She cried. "Did you really have to go that far?"

"Yes. And calm down." Rex replied, before turning to Isane. "Sorry I had to threaten to kill you there, uh..."

"I-Isane." Isane replied, who was just wrapping her head around the fact that she wasn't going to die.

"Isane. Nice name, by the way." Rex replied. "Anyway, sorry I had to threaten to kill you. I didn't actually want to do it, since I got no reason to, but it was the only way I could get Ddraig to back his oversized ass down."

Isane had gone as red as the gauntlet that was on her arm mere moments ago, and Rex chuckled.

"Anyway, Rias. What have you asked me here for?"

"Yes, I'm curious to hear what you want with my eldest son as well, Rias." Grayfia spoke up.

"Well, you see-" Rias began, but her words were interrupted as an orange magic-circle with a bird encased in the centre of it, formed itself in the entrance to the room, and flames began to erupt from it.

Rex was unimpressed. In fact, he was so unimpressed that he was tempted to freeze the demonic flames which were beginning to clear coming from the magic-circle, right there and then, but he held himself back.

When the flames completely cleared, a tall and handsome man in his early-twenties with short blonde hair and dark blue eyes became known to everyone in the room. 

He wore a burgundy blazer with gold embroidery on the right, with matching pants and black dress shoes. Underneath this open blazer was a white dress shirt that wasn't fully buttoned, giving a slight view to his toned chest.

"Hm. It's been a while since I've been to the human world." The man turned around, and looked at Rias. "I've come to see you, my darling Rias."

Rias frowned, before the man looked at Rex, who also had a frown on his face. The gears were starting to turn in his head, and they didn't paint a very pretty picture.

"Who's this guy?" He asked, looking unconcernedly at Rex, before noticing Akeno. "Hmm, and who is this lovely young lady?"

"None of your concern, blondie." Rex replied, having immediately taken a dislike to the man, who adopted a rather ugly expression on his face.

"Blondie? Don't try to insult Riser Phenex." He said, before turning to Rias. "Rias, you should try and control your servants."

"He's not my servant, Riser." Rias replied. "He's my nephew, Rex Gremory."

Riser shrugged, stepped around Rex while looking extremely openly at Akeno's ass and sat down on the sofa, right next to Rias, as Rex and Akeno went and stood next to Grayfia.

"Mind filling me in on this, Mom?" Rex whispered to Grayfia. "What the hell is Rias doing with Fianna Asmodeus' youngest brother?"

"Lord Zeoticus and Lord Renzo Phenex worked out a marital contract for Lady Rias and Lord Riser, about ten years ago." Grayfia whispered in reply. "Rias has hated the idea of the contract from as soon as she heard about it, and has wanted out ever since."

The whole room was then enveloped in a tense silence as Riser, looking quite satisfied with himself, played with the hair of Rias who looked extremely uncomfortable, and placed his hand on her leg, slowly going up towards her skirt, until Rias, having finally had enough, stood up.

"Cut it out already, Riser!" She snapped. "I told you last time. I'm not marrying you."

"Oh, but Rias." Riser replied, nonchalantly. "You're in no position to be selfish. Your family has its back against the wall, as does my illustrious family, to an extent, and our fathers knew that this would be a perfect way to produce strong grandchildren."

Rex gave a loud cough into his hand, which to Akeno, Grayfia, and everyone else in the room, sounded suspiciously like the word "Bullshit!"

Riser heard as well, and stood up, turning to Rex.

"Did you say something?" He asked. "Or were you just clearing your throat?"

"The latter." Rex replied, his voice light and polite. "Sorry, just keep going. Pretend I'm not even here. I got a tickle in my throat, it happens all the time." He coughed into his hand three more times, and Riser distinctly heard the words "Bullshit! Fucking bullshit!" come through the coughs.
