CHAPTER-4

It's been a month since Akira and Rias started dating. They haven't confessed their feelings to each other, but they know they love each other deeply. They have decided to go on dates and get to know each other better. Rias doesn't want any other girls looking at Akira, which makes her angry, so they have decided to spend their time together at Akira's home, cuddling.

Rias has also started training under her mother in order to become stronger and cancel her marriage with that bastard. Her mother was shocked when Rias asked for training, but she smiled upon seeing the determination in her child's eyes.

Flashback to the Underworld:

Three women are sitting and drinking tea. One of them resembles Rias, and she is Venelana Bael, Rias' mother. Venelana looks very much like her daughter, with shorter, flaxen hair and violet eyes like the members of the Bael Clan. Next to her are two beautiful ladies, Lucy Gremory and Grayfia Lucifuge. Lucy is Sirzechs's wife and Rias' sister-in-law, while Grayfia is known as the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation. They are both beautiful young women in their early twenties, with Lucy having short hair and Grayfia having long hair in twin ponytails. Lucy has red eyes while Grayfia has silver eyes.

While they are talking, Rias enters wearing her school uniform and walks towards them, particularly towards her mother.

Lucy: "Oh Rias, you're here! Come sit with us and have some tea." She said, smiling at her.

Rias: "Thank you, sister, but I came here to talk to mother." She replied, smiling back.

Venelana: "Oh my baby girl, come here for mommy! Give me a big hug." She said, smiling and looking at her.

Rias doesn't say anything, she just walks towards her mother and gives her a big hug. Everyone is shocked, even Grayfia, who usually doesn't show emotion.

Lucy: "Rias, is something happened at school?" She asks, coming back from her shock and showing concern.

Venelana: "Yes, Rias, tell me. Did something happen?" She asks, combing her hair with her fingers and placing Rias on her lap. Rias sits on her lap without complaining and continues hugging her mother. This surprises them once again.

Rias: "Mommy, I want you to train me so that I can cancel my marriage with that bastard." She says, looking directly into her mother's eyes with determination.

They are shocked to hear this, but seeing the determination in Rias' eyes, they smile at her.

Venelana: "Oh, my baby wants me to train her? Okay, I will train you. But tell me, why now?" She asks, smiling and questioning her.

Rias just blushes, and the two women share a knowing smile while Grayfia looks at her with an emotionless face, though she can guess the answer.

Rias doesn't give an answer but takes out her phone from her pocket. She opens the gallery and selects a photo of Akira sleeping, wearing his white jacket with the cat-like hood on his head, looking super cute. She shows them his picture.

The other three look at her in confusion, unsure of what she's trying to convey.
