A Tale Of Knights And Devils (Highschool DXD X OC/Male Reader)

King versus Bird! The False Gremory!

"RISER!" Lukas shouted as he slammed through the last set of doors, interrupting some speech about this and that Riser was saying to inflate his own ego.

"Who dares.....the False Gremory!"

"Listen, I ain't stepping around this garbage! Me and you are dueling!"

"A real Gremory couldn't defeat Riser, what makes you think you could defeat Riser?"

"Rias nearly had you beat, you were just as overconfident as she was about the whole game, and because of it you nearly lost."

"You know nothing! Riser was just the right amount of confidence!"

"Then be confident and fight me in a duel!"

"Why waste Riser's time?"

"Riser, if I may?"

"Of course, feel free to speak, you are the King, Lord Lucifer."

"Thank you, Riser, I would like to say that if he is no threat to you this is the chance to prove it, to everyone, let everyone here see that Lord Riser Phenex can best any who foolishly challenge him."

"Very well, what do you wish for Riser to gift you after winning? Not that you'll ever beat Riser."

"I want Rias to have the right to choose who she marries, much like I chose."

"Very well, Riser, what do you want from the duel?"

"Your female servants become Riser's and you will be a vassal dog for Riser's sister."

"I can go with that," Lukas says to Sirzechs

Sirzechs internally laughed at Riser, he knew Lukas was stronger than Riser no question, the question was actually this: how long would Lukas drag this out for? He'd get his answer soon enough.

"How did it go?" A voice asked

"Well as to be expected, the Phenex Brat didn't even feel the poison go in him."

"So, Lukas is going to be the winner?"

"Of course, do I am confused on why you want him to win, it would be easier if we just got him out of the way?"

"We need to make sure the plans go haywire, you know that, you want it too or else you wouldn't be helping me."

"Truth comes from your lips, we do need him to subdue the powers of the Black Dragon Emperor and he will be vital in keeping the Knights away when they attack."

"Indeed he will be, good job."

"Sneaking around is what I'm good at, nyathing was going to stand in my way."

"I wish you would be tactful about this Master Lukas," a worried Grayfia speaks

"Fia, I assure you I will be just fine against someone like Riser."

"I know I-I just can't help but to worry about your safety, it has been three years since we last spoke, two since we last seen each other, I was always thinking about you."

"Thank you Fia, I didn't mean to avoid you and give you the silent treatment at all, much less for a year."

"I know you did not mean to, perhaps it was my fault for being so forward on your *clears throat* 'health' back either."

"That may have had something to do with it, I just didn't want to face the facts I suppose." Lukas mumbled, another sentence came after but it was nothing but a string of noises to Grayfia.

Grayfia was Lukas' own personal maid and servant, she directly served Lukas and as per the contract they made, Lukas had authority over her before even Zeoticus or Sirzechs.
