"Nice speech, Rias." Rex remarked, a smirk on his face. "It's a wonder you don't go into politics, you'd be a great candidate, with oration skills like yours. Then again, Hitler was a great orator, so..." He shrugged.
"Anyway. You plan on training you and your peerage, to the best of your ability, I think you said?"
"Y-Yes, that was what I asked you here for." Rias replied. "Rex... will you train me and my peerage for the Rating Game against Riser?"
Rex blinked.
"And why should I do that?" He asked. "I don't remember hearing you mention me in that little declaration of yours, once. Have you hear, Akeno?"
Akeno shook her head.
"Yeah, exactly." Rex remarked, turning to Rias. "So why should I help you, when you said it would be YOU and your servants, not me, who would train yourselves up?"
"R-Rex, please!" Rias' voice, rather than the passionate tone that he heard moments before, became more desperate. "I've looked for every possible way out! Renouncing my position as Heiress, having Riser killed, even-"
"Okay, okay, that's enough, Rias." Rex replied. "In actuality... okay."
Rias blinked.
"Wh-what?" She replied.
"I said 'okay', Rias." Rex said. "Zeoticus was the one who placed you in that engagement, and I'm feeling particularly vindictive towards him right now."
Rias' face lit up as she realised what her nephew was saying.
"So, therefore, I'll help you." Rex replied. "Besides, I remember saying a while ago that I couldn't wait to see the look on my grandfather's face when the next person, after me, he tries to groom into his perfect Heir, slash puppet, goes against his wishes in any way. Winning that Rating Game and leaving the engagement would be a pretty good way to go about that happening, don't you think?"
Rias rushed forward, and wrapped her arms around Rex. Even if she was his aunt, Rex mentally appreciated her rather generous assets pressing up against him.
"Thank you, Rex!" Rias spoke, into his shoulder. "Thank you."
"It's okay." Rex replied, as Rias released him. "Now. I've got something to do. I'll be back in five minutes. Chat to Akeno while I'm gone."
Rex created a silver transportation-circle, and disappeared.
Five minutes later, inside which Rias and Mira had started to make very pleasant conversation with Akeno, Rex returned.
"Alright, all done." He spoke. "Rias, Mira, Koneko, Kiba, Isane. Can you please be here around this time tommorrow? So I can take you to where you'll be trained."
There was a general murmur of ascent, and Rex nodded.
"Good. See you tomorrow." He looked at Akeno. "Come on, Akeno."
Akeno waved goodbye to Rias and Akeno as she followed Rex into the transportation-circle, and disappeared along with him.

"I'm back~!" Rex called, as he and Akeno arrived back in his house. Penemue, Akasha, Valian and Palutena, who were all watching TV, looked up.
"Hey, Rex." Valian greeted him. "So, what's going to happen?"
"Well, remember that holiday villa in Greece that I've had my eye on for a while?" Rex asked.
"You mean the thirteen-bedroom, houses-around-thirty one?" Penemue asked. "What of it?"
"Well, I called in that favour from Azazel, and he's buying it." Rex replied. "And my aunt and her peerage will be staying there for a week with us."
Akeno, Penemue, Akasha and Valian all made gestures of excitement, as they'd all seen the villa, and loved the idea of moving there. Palutena's reaction, however, was more... muted. She smiled, but that was about it.
"Akeno, Akasha, Valian, can you come with me when I go tommorrow?" Rex asked. "Since I've agreed to train Rias and her peerage, and I'll need your help."
"No problem, Rex." All three sexy-as-fuck women replied, practically in unison.
"And Palutena, would it be alright if you came with us as well?" Rex added. "I've got an idea for a possible modification I could make to the place, and I'd need your help for it."
"Okay, Rex." Palutena replied, sighing.
"Sweet." Rex replied. "Someone go and tell Asia and Kuroka what's happening."
Valian got up and left. Akeno, Akasha and Penemue left as well, deciding to go and do something else, leaving Rex and Palutena alone.
Rex plopped himself down beside his green-haired wife, who was looking at him. He snorted.
"I know that look, Palutena."
"I'm sure you do." Palutena replied. "I'm not unhappy with you for this, but... you do know who has supernatural dominion over Greece?"
"The Greek Pantheon." Rex replied. "Yes, I know, Palutena. And it isn't a crime for a supernatural being to live in Greece. I know several Fallen Angels that live in Athens, for example. Some of the Greek Gods can be dicks, like Ares and Hermes, but Zeus isn't that bad."
"I know that, but-" Palutena tried to reply, but Rex, knowing exactly what she was going to say, stopped her.
"Pal, I know what you're thinking, and everything will be fine." The silver-haired Nephalem assured his green-haired wife.
"If the worst comes to the worst, we'll be prepared for it. You know as well as I do that the number of Greek Gods that could beat either of us on our own in a one-on-one battle can be counted on one hand, with fingers to spare: Hades. And what is more" he added.
"That number lowers down to a big fat ZERO when I go Twilight God, or when you and I work together."
"I know that." Palutena replied. "Just promise me that if it comes to that, you PLEASE don't go into that damned form! It almost tore your soul apart last time you used it, and that was only after fifteen seconds!"
Rex remembered full-well what Palutena was talking about.
"I promise, love." Rex replied, wrapping his arms around Palutena and kissing her. "You know that I do."
"Good." Palutena replied. "Now." She shifted her body so she was sat on her husband's lap, and looked at him in a rather sultry way. "What should we do for the rest of the day?"
Rex grinned.
