Peace seems so easy to gain

When his coronation was over, and Riser officially became Lucifer, his name naturally changed into Riser Lucifer. With this, it was impossible for him to inherit the Phenex House again, but it didn't matter as the third son; it was impossible for him to become the next Lord Phenex as this position was taken by his eldest brother. 

It was also the same case as his second brother, who decided to focus on his business. 

Previously, Riser was thinking of becoming a son-in-law, mooching his wife's money, and living a debauchery life, yet in the end, he became a Lucifer. 

To be honest, he felt a slight regret after he became a Lucifer, especially when he realized how busy he was. Nevertheless, even if he became a Lucifer, he still abode his rule to work from nine to five in only five days. As for the other things which suddenly sprung out of nowhere during his break time? 

Riser ignored them no matter what the consequences were. 

His actions were wayward and even childish, but he didn't care as he was a Lucifer. 

Who dared to scold him?

Still, if there was something that made his mood slightly bad, it was the fact that he found a few of the distributors of the Phenex Tears had made a fake account. Nevertheless, there was no need for him to go out personally as he could leave the rest to his family, especially his father, older brothers, and other relatives. 

However, knowing that someone dared to make a fake account of their precious Phenex Tears, there was no doubt that it brought anger to the Phenex House, and they were ready to erase those distributors who tried to cheat their house from the world. 

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. 

They were going to kill those bastards so the others wouldn't follow. 

Moreover, with his "Location" ability, Riser could give them a direction where they should attack, so there was no need for him to worry, especially when the power of his older brother was strong. 

Nevertheless, even if the matters of the Phenex House were solved, Riser still needed to handle all the problems in the Underworld as the new Lucifer. Moreover, as the new Lucifer, he also became the new governor of the capital of the Underworld, Lucifaad. 

As for those who worked under the previous Lucifer, they had to leave since their existence was simply a burden for him. 

Riser knew that his relationship with Rias had been warmed up, but a man's ambition couldn't be stopped just because of his relationship with a woman. Moreover, those devils who worked under Sirzech had troubled him when he set up his businesses on the Lucifaad. They should be thankful that he didn't kill them. 

As for the resentment they had for him when he robbed all of their wealth and privilege, Riser didn't care, as they were enemies. 

Still, to be on the safe side, Riser planned to kill them, but he needed to wait until the time ripened. 

Nevertheless, he wondered what the Gremory House was thinking when he did all of this. 

Are they going to hate him?

Giving him revenge?

Either way, Riser couldn't help but recall the female in the Gremory House. 

Their silky crimson-colored hair, soft yet sensual body, and natural bewitching aura. 

Riser thought that they were really natural temptresses, but he knew that it was impossible for them to throw themselves at him. They might seem like a slut, or even a whore that would show their bodies to many, but he knew that they were just acting, teasing, but would never give the real deal. 

Instead, if anyone fell for them, there was no doubt that they would fall for them deeply, blindly, like a slave. 

It was the same case as Issei in the original, as he had never lost his virginity even after so long. 

Riser could imagine that all of those who were crazed about them would never realize that when they thought that they had a chance for them, they were so far away and captivated, so crazy about them, without realizing they became their slaves.

It was like a donkey who was teased with a carrot in front of it. 

As the donkey chased after the carrot, thinking to eat it immediately to satiate its lust, it would have never realized that it was being played. 

Love is like that, after all. 

Being chased by someone is better than chasing after someone. 

Riser would never chase after anyone, but if they pursued him, then why should he refuse?

Moreover, Riser was sure that Sirzech would be happy that his widow was taken care of by him as he would protect Grayfia from being bullied by others. 

As expected, it was impossible for him to become a villain, and he realized that he was still as gentle as ever. 

"..." System. 

However, the thought of a woman from the Gremory House quickly disappeared as he needed to attend another meeting with the three other Great Maous. 

Serafall Leviathan, Falbium Asmodeus, and Ajuka Beelzebub. 

Together with Sirzech Lucifer, they were known as the Four Great Satans, but now, Sirzech had died, and the position of Lucifer was taken from him. 

Apart from Serafall and Ajuka, Riser wondered what Falbium thought about him. 

"Riser, it's been a while." 

"Yes, it's been a while, Falbium-dono." 

"Riser, don't be so distant. Based on our relationship, you can also call me with the "-nii" suffix." Falbium didn't seem angry even if Riser didn't use the "-sama" suffix when Riser called him Riser's position as Lucifer was above him. Moreover, if possible, he wished for Riser to call him with the "-nii" suffix, as that way, his life would be even easier. 

"What do you mean, Falbium-chan~?" Serafall looked at Falbium dangerously as she thought that Falbium wished to steal Riser from her!

"..." 

Riser also fell in silence and moved closer to Serafall. 

Except for Sirzech, none of the rest of the Maous married, and they were still single until now. 

Riser wasn't sure why, but he hoped the thought on his mind wasn't the reason why they weren't married. 

"What are you thinking about?" Falbium looked speechless in Serafall. "Iryuka from our house is often being taken care of by him." 

"Oh, Iryuka-chan?" 

Serafall thought about the cute girl who often walked with Ravel. To be honest, she had never thought too much about Iryuka as she knew Riser loved a girl with a bombastic and seductive body like her, but then again, she felt that there was no need for her to think too much about this matter as she knew Riser was omnivore. 

As long as it was a beautiful woman, Serafall believed that Riser didn't mind at all. 

"..." 

If Riser knew what Serafall was thinking, he might smack her head. 

Yet, he might not have a refutation, considering his record. 

"What were you three talking about?" 

When the three talked, Ajuka, who appeared at the exact time, asked curiously. 

"Listen! Listen, Ajuka-chan! Falbium-chan is..." 

Like a student who wished to report the mischief of her classmate to a teacher, Serafall quickly exposed Falbium's crime to Ajuka. 

"I see..." Ajuka nodded and suddenly said something outrageous, "But that seems to be a good idea, right? Riser-kun might as well marry Iryuka and Latia Astaroth, my niece from the Astaroth from our house, so that way, our relationship will be even closer." 

"That's a good idea." Falbium nodded. 

"NO WAY~! RISER-CHAN IS SONA-CHAN'S HUSBAND~! THERE IS NO WAY I WILL AGREE~!" 

If Riser had to marry someone else, then he needed to marry her first!

There was no way that she could accept he married someone else first! 

Nevertheless, as the three excitedly discussed Riser's next marriage, Riser fell into silence, realizing that peace might seem easier to achieve than he had thought.
