Chapter 29. The Aftermath.
(Two days after the fight against Sirzechs).
Sirzechs Lucifer woke up with a groan of pain and slowly looked around the unknown room he found himself in, only to see his mother Venelana sitting besides his bed and looking out a window in silence "where am I?...".
Venelana turned her head towards her son as soon as she heard him "in the Sitri general hospital, it's been a two days since you been brought here Sirzechs, do you remember what happened?".
Sirzechs closed his eyes and began to think back to what happened to him, suddenly flashes of his fight against Rean came rushing into his mind, he then opened his eyes and stared at his mother "Grayfia?... where is she?...".
Venelana smiled at his son and the moved her gaze to the other side of his bed, Sirzechs turned his head and noticed Grayfia peacefully sleeping on a bed besides his.
Sirzechs smiled at his wife noticing that she was okay "how is she?...".
Venelana then answersed her son's question "she's fine, all her wounds were instantly healed with a Phenex Tear, she was awake a few hours ago but I told her to sleep since she has been keeping an eye on you since yesterday".
Sirzechs nodded and then turned his head towards his mother "sigh... that's good, at least she's okay... now tell me, how bad is it?".
Venelana frowned and the sighed "well your father and I along the Sitris and the Phenex are making sure everything stays a secret, no one knows about your fight against Rean and your current physical condition, the only thing everyone knows is that your in the hospital but no the why though I don't think everything will stay a secret for too long except who sent you to the hospital".
Sirzechs sighed and nodded "remind me to thank the Sitri and Phenex lords... and my condition? what's the verdict?".
Venelana frowned and then pinched Sirzechs on the leg causing her son to grunt in pain "don't take you condition lightly! your lucky to be alive right now, not only were you severally poisoned by Rean's holy sword and its light but you also lost an arm, the only reason you were able to survive that last attack from Rean is because your Power of Destruction was able to eat away some of the power from that blast and the holy light in your system".
Sirzechs sheepishly smiled at his mother "Sorry mom, looks like I got my ass handed to me... hehe but that fight was fun, I don't think I ever been that close to death before".
Sirzechs the brought up his stumped and stared at it with a smirk on his face, Venelana just tiredly shook his head at her son's attitude "Ajuka is already working in making you a replacement arm, he said something about 'I'll add all kinds of cool stuff for Sirzechs to play with, it will be great' I swear you kids are to reckless sometimes".
Sirzechs chuckled at her mother words and nodded "mom, I'm sorry but I wanted to help Rias, she looked so miserable during the engagement party, I think I would do it all over again... just not with Rean though".
Venelana exasperatedly huffed "I understand why you did it Sirzechs but you have to be smarter than this, what would you have done if Rean came to the Underworld with the full intention of killing us all? after the fight, young Ravel told us how Rean has a big number of strange creatures under his command and each and every one of them are as strong as him".
Sirzechs eyes widen in shock at the implications of what he just heard "well shit... we got lucky then but Rean seems like a cool guy though. I don't think he would do that, let's just never make him angry again".
Sirzechs smiled at her mother who rolled her eyes at him "what are you planning Sirzechs, I know you well enough to know that your thinking about doing something more than likely stupid too, what is it?".
