Alex was with Asia in the school hallways, his objective was the student council. Alex approached the door when he was about to knock, Asia squeezed his hand, she was nervous, everything was very new to her. Alex smiled and said that everything would be okay, Asia said she would trust him, and Alex knocked on the door.

A few seconds later, Tsubaki opened the door, she greeted Alex and Asia and invited them in. Inside the student council room, Alex led Asia to sit in front of Sona.

Alex said, "Sona, I would like to introduce you to Asia. She's the special girl I asked you to enroll in the school."

Sona said, "Nice to meet you, Asia. I'm Sona Sitri, the president of the student council, and this is Tsubaki Shinra, the vice president."

Asia said, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Sitri and Ms. Shinra."

Sona said, "Just call me Sona, and you can call her Tsubaki. Tsubaki will accompany Asia to her class while I talk to Alex."

Tsubaki nodded and asked Asia to follow her. Asia turned to Alex and asked for permission, and Alex told her to go. So Asia and Tsubaki left the student council room.

Alex asked, "What would you like to talk to me about, Sona?"

Sona said, "My sister wants to meet you to discuss our marriage."

Alex asked, "Marriage? When did we become engaged?"

Sona said, "A few years ago, my parents arranged a marriage contract for me, which I rejected. I said I would only marry someone who could beat me at chess. I knew with my intelligence, few people in the world could do that, so I used it as a shield to not marry just anyone."

"I know you must be wondering why I want to marry you since you didn't beat me. The truth is, even if someone beats me at chess, I can still ask my sister to intervene. And you, Alex, are someone I like in appearance and personality, and you're also a powerful man, so I want to marry you."

Alex said, "You know I'm dating Rias and Akeno."

Sona said, "That's okay. The idea of a harem is common in the underworld, and if you marry me, all the girls of my nobility can be your mistresses, too."

Alex said, "I agree to marry you, but you have to sign a loyalty and fidelity contract. The consequence of breaking the contract is agonizing pain that will only go away if someone kills you. So, Sona, do you agree to these terms?"

Sona said, "I agree, but the contract needs to favor me. I'll be the first wife and head of the harem, and you cannot share me or any woman from my nobility with other men."

Alex agreed with Sona. Even without this request, he would never share his woman with anyone. Alex started using his powers to create a shadow demon named Constantine, who would have the power to make absolute contracts. The only one who could be freed from the consequences of breaking the contract was Alex, but nobody had to know that. Sona signed the contract, and they were married forever.

Sona and Alex felt connected, not by words or documents, but by their souls. Sona ran towards Alex, sat on his lap, and kissed him deeply. After their kiss, Alex smiled at Sona and kissed her forehead.

Alex said, "I'll make some monsters to protect you."

Alex summoned 10 monsters with healing abilities, control over the elements of nature, the power to make protection runes, and more. Sona thanked him and asked if she could have someone remodel his house and turn it into a mansion. Alex agreed, but asked if he would live with only her or with other girls from her nobility as well. Sona said that she, Tsubaki, and two other girls would live with him, and the rest still had family in the area.

After their conversation, Sona asked someone to remodel Alex's house, and she and Alex continued to kiss until Tsubaki walked into the room. Tsubaki blushed when she saw Sona sitting on Alex's lap, but Sona explained everything to her. Alex said he had to go somewhere and kissed both girls goodbye before leaving the student council room. He went to the forest to find Tiamat.

Alex arrived at the edge of the forest and felt many different magical powers. Somewhere deep in the forest was a power that was different from the others, stronger but at the same time seemed to be holding back.

Alex summoned a monster in the form of a dragon tattoo with the ability to attract female dragons. He walked deeper into the forest; he wondered why one of the Five Great Dragon Kings would want to live there. As he approached, the magic he had sensed vanished.

Suddenly, a voice spoke, "Looking for me, human."

Alex turned and saw a woman with pale blue hair, dark blue eyes, and an icy atmosphere that emanated from her beauty. She wore a navy blue skirt.

Tiamat said, "Your trick to seduce me won't work. What will you do now?"

Alex was scared and called for Yadrat to teleport him away, but the moment Yadrat appeared, he was destroyed.

Tiamat said, "I know all your powers. I know you killed Ddraig's host, and I know your plan to make me your familiar. Now, you will participate in my test."

Alex said, "Of course, just tell me what I have to do."

Tiamat said, "As a dragon, I like to collect treasures, so I want a very rare treasure to protect. And what could be rarer for a woman than your child? But I cannot bear children, so I have never been with anyone. I will pass on my lineage to you. If you fail to assimilate it, you will die. But if you survive, you will become stronger, gain my powers, and have me as your familiar, your mother, and your wife."

Tiamat took a drop of her blood which was red at first but turned blue, and placed it on Alex's forehead. Alex's eyes turned blue, blue veins appeared all over his body, and he began screaming in pain. After nearly two hours of agony, Alex passed out.
