The Promise

Chapter 4: The Warning

Third Person POV

"They say that you only get one warning to things in life, whether it be from another human or something from instincts"

"Warnings can be interpreted by two categories, the first is an actual warning and the second is a threat...threat, you know the more I think about it what I said may have been a threat...oh well!"

Rias: "W-what!?"

Rias couldn't believe what she had just heard, so many emotions were flowing through her such as confusion, shock, and even a bit of anger.

How could Issei not be here to save her, she was his master for Lucifer's sake and the one who saved his life before he died...numerous times. So to hear that Issei wasn't here to save her from the marriage was an outrage, why would he say such a thing?

Doesn't he like her?

Only a few days ago he was his usual perverted self that drooled at the sight of the crimson-red-haired girl's tits, but now he was completely different and she wasn't just talking about his new appearance.

While that was also a surprise, his aura felt different as well. It was like there were multiple souls trapped within the brown-haired boy's body, trying to escape from his grasp. Rias wasn't sure herself, since it was very faint but it was almost like she could hear the screams within her mind. However, she decided to ignore all this because it was probably because of stress since she had a stressful time for the last couple of days.

Rias wasn't the only one surprised by Issei's words, Akeno and the rest of the peerage were also taken aback by what they had heard. Koneko, Asia, and Kiba weren't sure how to respond to all this since they have never seen Issei act like this before.

Akeno, on the other hand, was fuming with anger on the Inside, how could she not since the very pawn that was supposed to SERVE Rias was now saying that HIS master shouldn't be saved at all?

The black-haired girl made a mental note to teach Issei a lesson, after all, he was nothing more than a mere dog that can easily be put down whenever they need to.

Riser was the most surprised out of everyone in the wedding room, he fully expected Issei to come and save Rias from his grasp.

But he was wrong?

Riser: "You're not here to save Rias?"

Issei: "Of course not"

Riser: "Why?"

Rias: "Yeah, why!? Issei, it's me!"

The brown-haired boy scoffed and rolled his eyes, but then he soon sensed something close by and it was more powerful than every other devil within the room.

Issei: "Oh, we have a new guest"

???: "While I'm surprised you sensed me, I would also like to know your reason, Issei Hydouou"

Everyone looked over to the source of the voice and was greeted by Grayfia who stood next to a handsome man who seems to be in his early 20s. He has shoulder-length crimson hair and blue eyes, similar to Rias. In fact, Issei could only describe the man as the male version of Rias.
