Marriage Contract

"That was something." Issei sighed as he was sketching Rias on a piece of paper. When Asia and Rias entered the house, they were met by Raynare and Kalawarna who were eating lunch together.

After much explanation and calming down, Asia was situated into her new home with much reluctance from Raynare and Kalawarna.

The two Fallen Angels knew who she was, they were apart of the group of Fallen Angels that wanted to capture Asia's Twilight Healing.

Raynare and Kalawarna didn't dare to bring it up, they didn't want Issei to get mad because they scare their new roommate.

Currently, Issei only had his boxers on. It's his house now since his parents seem to not want to be back here anytime soon, he can wear what he wants at least.

"Perfect." Issei whispered as he looked at his sketch of Rias naked and lying on a bed while performing a seductive pose.

He stood up and taped it on the wall with cellophane tape. He sat back down on the chair and sighed in satisfaction.

Suddenly, he sensed someone approaching him from behind. He and his chair turned around. It was Rias, and she was in the middle of taking off her very tight t-shirt that showed off her knockers. She was only wearing panties underneath the shirt. Suddenly, Rias threw the shirt to his face, covering it.

Issei grabbed the shirt and smelled it a little. It had her fragrant perfume on it. Issei put it gently on his bed.

He looked at Rias who was swaying around while biting her lip nervously. "What's wrong, princess?" Issei asked her out of concern. Rias looked at him.

"Do you trust me, Issei?" Rias asked. Issei nodded.

"Of course." Issei replied. Rias walked towards him and sat on his lap.

"I um....." Rias bit her lip harder and looked away. It seems the topic of discussion is sensitive to her.

"I.... have been lying to you, Issei." Rias whispered. Issei was confused.

" I'm..... engaged to someone named Riser Phenex. He is someone who I do not even want to see." Rias squeaked out. Issei widened his eyes at her revelation.

" I haven't done anything with him at all. I don't even want to see his face because of how disgusting he is. I keep pushing back my marriage ceremony with him. But I don't think it's going to work anymore. " Rias added while looking down sadly. Issei wrapped his arms around her waist.

" Tell your family about it then. Or did you already try this?" Issei asked hoping it was not true. Rias nodded.

"It never worked. Their heads are like dragon skin, I can't even get them to hear me out. They always say it can improve our Clan's reputation. I don't care about that!" Rias shouted. Issei listened intently.

" I'm the heiress of the Gremory Clan! I should have the power to cancel this fucking marriage! But they won't let me because I'm 'too young to take charge!' " Rias shouted angrily. There was an ominous red aura around her. Issei wasn't affected by it.

Issei's frown was getting bigger and bigger the more Rias ranted on and on about her troubles.

"I want to be able to choose who I marry! I want to be with the man I love! But they won't let me because apparently our offspring will be as strong as a Super Devil! " Rias clenched her fists tight. She had tears forming at the corner of her eyes.

"Why do they treat me like I'm some breeding machine!? I hate them! I hate all of them! Waaaahhhh!!!" Rias wailed as she hugged Issei tightly. She can't control her mask anymore. The princess had finally broken down.

Issei felt angered at how much she was suffering. If this was how devil children were treated in the underworld, he didn't want to know how sane the angels were.

"There there, princess. It's okay. I'm here for you, nothing can hurt you while I'm here." Issei whispered gently as he rubbed her head and patted her back gently.

Rias looked at him and kissed him out of nowhere. Her kiss was full of love and undying passion.

Issei returned her kiss with the same passion as hers. He caressed her back while doing so. Rias looked at him. They touched their foreheads with their own. "I don't want us to be separated ever again, Issei. I want us to be together forever. And nothing can change that. " Rias declared to him. Issei smiled.

" It will, Rias. "

Rias and Issei looked at the newcomer that emerged from the Gremory Family magic circle. It was Grayfia, and she wasn't happy about what she heard.

"Grayfia!" Rias stood in front of Issei protectively.

"I won't let you take me away from him!" Rias declared. Grayfia narrowed her eyes.

"What is so good about this human, Rias? All I see is a lecherous bastard who only loves your beauty and nothing else—

"Shut up! Issei is better than that! Sure he may love a lot of women! But at least he treats them like they're someone! You won't know because you treat me like I'm the plague!" Rias shouted. Grayfia narrowed her eyes.

" I don't understand. " Grayfia muttered. Rias scoffed and crossed her arms.

" Of course you don't. I wanted to be friends with you. I wanted to get to know my aunt better. But no, you are always 'busy' or have something to 'clean up'. " Rias glared at her. Grayfia narrowed her eyes even more.

" You do not understand the duties as a maid, especially as the one who serves Lord Sirzechs. " Grayfia replied.

" Let me remind you that you assigned yourself to that position. You're his wife and Queen for Lucifer's sake, act like one! Why do you act like some divorced couple instead of a married one?! That's stupid? " Rias argued.

" Do not speak as if you know the love I have for Sirzechs . " Grayfia argued calmly.

" Then don't speak as if you understand me too!" Rias shouted back while clenching her fists tightly. Issei swore he saw blood dripping from her palms.

"This is exactly why no one wants to listen to you, Rias. You're childish, you're spoiled and you don't care about your responsibilities. Why not just accept it like a grownup?" Grayfia asked. Rias held back a sob. Tears were threatening to flow out of her eyes.

"That's enough out of you." Issei muttered as he stood in between them. Grayfia looked up at him. Issei looked at her with a stoic face.

"Leave my house at once, Grayfia Lucifuge." Issei muttered, surprising her because he somehow knew her full name.

"How do you—

" I said leave damnit!!! Don't make me repeat myself!!! " Issei growled as he summoned the Boosted Gear. He was surrounded by an immense aura. The room was shaking violently. under the pressure he was emitting.

He was sure the supernatural could sense his anger. Grayfia stepped back out of fear and looked at him with a surprised face. "The Boosted Gear! You are—

" Yes. The Red Dragon Emperor of Domination. You should know your place now, maid of the Gremory Clan. " Issei threatened her with his green eyes shining dangerously. Grayfia looked at Rias who was in awe at his presence.

" This isn't over, Rias. You cannot escape your responsibilities. "

Grayfia then quickly sank back into the Gremory Family magic circle. Issei sighed and deactivated everything. He looked at Rias who was wiping her tears with her hands while smiling in relief.

Issei went and hugged her tenderly. He kissed her cheek.

"Let's go take a shower to cool ourselves off, Rias. You need one to relieve your stress...
