Chapter 56 : Strongest Queen

She would admit later, that seeing him hold her like this made her secure and made her want to be held by him even more.

She could tell by his firm and yet soft hold on her that he was holding her like she was his treasure.

Just how a Dragon would protect what was his with all his might. She smiled softly, as she remembered that the boy who was holding her was also a part dragon as he was a Red Dragon Emperor.

As she slowly, almost reluctantly, removed herself from his embrace she could see that he was almost protesting that he couldn't hold her which made her smile softly at him with a blush on her face.

"Thank you, Ise. I needed that." Lucy answered before she yawned as she felt herself getting extremely tired. The fight and her emotions were enough to make her needing sleep.

Smiling Issei just nodded before he chuckled at her yawn which her made go full red this time as she playfully hit him in the arm as he started laughing.

"Jerk." She mumbled to herself with a pout, but when she heard him laughing, even more, she was red like his balance-breaker.

"S-sorry, your face was just too cute to resist. Anyway, you go to bed. I assume that you have a free room here for me to use while staying here with you?"

Issei asked here as she just nodded with steam coming out her ears as she heard what he said about her.

"Yeah, there are plenty of rooms here for you to use, I will show you where is mine and you can take the one next to me, so if you need anything you will know where I am." She answered as she collected herself.

"Sweet. Though one question. Where are all the servants? I figured there were be a lot of them here."

"When Grayfia comes they are getting their day off since they all agreed that they would leave both of us to have a day for ourselves. I'm actually grateful for that.

They kept me sane all this time." Lucy said as she started to make her way towards her room while showing Issei where were other stuff in the castle.

As the day was slowly coming to a close and sun was slowly setting and was replaced by a moon, Issei decided to take a walk to recap what happened today, while Lucy was asleep resting from the eventful day that she had.

He was re-winding the events of this day, however he was brought out of his thought's the moment he saw a magic circle that had a Gremory symbol a little away from him appear.

Stepping out of it was none other the Grayfia that was dressed in a black shirt with silver straps and light blue jeans with black sneakers.

Seeing him, Grayfia showed him a smile that was similar to Lucy's but unlike hers, it showed more of a family smile like a big sisters one.

As they both neared each other Grayfia brought Issei into a tight hug that made him go red for what seemed like the hundredth time today.

"I'm glad that you are alright. Lucy can be ballistic when dealing with anyone that isn't me." She told him in a soft tone as she released him and looked at him to see if there are any injuries on him.

"Yeah, I saw. Though you don't need to worry, I'm alright as is Lucy, she is sleeping right now. Looks like the fight and her emotions exhausted her way too much." Issei answer as he saw Grayfia widen her eyes a little.

"S-she showed emotions?" She asked in disbelief.

Nodding, Issei explained to her what happened after the fight. Grayfia was at first shocked that Lucy did what she did but later smiled widely at seeing that her baby sister was finally recovering.

"Issei, let's go back to the castle. I talked with Sirzechs and he told me it's okay for me to take a few days off to see how both of you are doing."

"Sure, I was finished with my walk anyway." Issei replied with a small smile.

With that both of them started walking back towards the castle that was Grayfia's and Lucy's home, Issei asked about the things that transpired back home, during his time here with a silvered haired heiress.

To say that Issei was laughing at what he was told would be an understatement.

He along with Grayfia were laughing while Ddraig and Elsha were both roaring's in his head at what they heard from the Strongest Queen.

Apparently, Rias was demanding to know where Issei was, while the rest of ORC was also in the agreement with her.

Though while Rias was fuming at Grayfia for not wanting to answer her about his whereabouts, Chelsea who got tired of hearing her annoying voice decide to use her Gear and stealthily come behind Rias and with a chop to the neck knock her out while saying 'Finally peace and quiet'.

That made all the members of ORC about to charge her but were frozen in place by Grayfia who let a bit of her power leak out stopping them in their place. As Rias recovered after about 5 minutes.

She was furious but before she could attack, Grayfia froze her completely to let her 'cool down' making the three girls laugh at Rias' misfortune.

After coming inside the living room, Grayfia told him to find a sit and relax while she makes some tea for the three of them as she felt that Lucy was waking up from her sleep.

She knew that Lucy was never a sleepy person at that she would sleep for an hour or two max if she was tired.

As soon as Grayfia returned and poured three cups of tea. Lucy entered the room wearing a simple purple top with grey shorts and slippers making Issei blush madly at seeing her.

Seeing his face become bright red made Lucy show off her real smile that made him have steam come out of his ears seeing it.

'Her smile is so amazing.' Issei thought as he followed her form.
