Red Dragon's Family(ISSEI X RIAS)

Chapter 2-Whereabouts and Encounters

In the bustling city of Lillith, Sirzechs Lucifer, the Maou Lucifer and leader of the Devil Faction, found himself buried under a mountain of paperwork. The frustration and exhaustion were clearly etched on his face as he muttered curses under his breath, blaming every god in existence for his current predicament.

He thought 'WHY MUST I SUFFER THROUGH THIS EVIL?!!!'

Grayfia, his elegant and composed wife, watched him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. She sighed softly, her voice filled with gentle reproach. "Sirzechs-sama, can you please refrain from acting like this? You are the Maou Lucifer, the leader of our faction. It wouldn't do for others to witness such childish behavior."

Sirzechs pouted, his lower lip jutting out in a playful manner. "But Fia-chan," he whined, "there's just so much work to do! I've been tirelessly working for weeks. Don't I deserve a break?" He looked up at Grayfia with pleading eyes, hoping to soften her resolve.

Grayfia couldn't help but smile at her husband's antics. She reached out and gently placed a hand on his shoulder, offering comfort and support. "I understand, Zechs," she said affectionately, using the familiar name from their earlier days. "But remember, we have a responsibility to our people. They rely on us to lead with strength and determination."

Sirzechs pouted even more, but a mischievous glimmer sparkled in his eyes. "Well, at least when we're alone, you don't have to be so formal, Fia-chan. Just call me Zechs like you used to. No need for all the titles and formality."

Grayfia chuckled softly, her eyes filled with love for her eccentric husband. "Very well, Zechs," she conceded, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "But remember, even in private, you are still the Maou Lucifer, my esteemed husband."

Sirzechs grinned triumphantly, a sparkle of mischief dancing in his eyes. "Of course, my dear Fia-chan," he replied, leaning closer to her. "But for now, let's forget about paperwork and enjoy a well-deserved break together."

Sirzechs and Grayfia were engrossed in their conversation when an informer burst through the door. The informer quickly apologized for the interruption before delivering an urgent message. They explained that the spies Sirzechs had sent out had finally uncovered some information about Lady Rias.

Sirzechs stood up, his expression turning serious. He demanded to know what the information was, his voice filled with anticipation and concern. The informer took a deep breath and shared the news that "Some of the spies had witnessed a red-haired lady in the city of Hiroshima, utilizing the Power of Destruction belonging to the Bael Clan to eliminate a stray threat."

Sirzechs and Grayfia's eyes widened in realization. They exchanged a look of hope and excitement. In that moment, they understood that there were only three known individuals in their family who possessed the power of destruction: Sirzechs himself, his mother Venelana Gremory(formerly from the Bael Clan hence why Sirzechs and Rias could have the Power of destruction as well), and Rias, Sirzechs' beloved little sister, who bore the distinctive red hair of the Gremory family.

Their hearts filled with anticipation, and Sirzechs and Grayfia felt a renewed sense of hope. Could it be that the spies had indeed witnessed Rias using her powers? The mere possibility ignited a spark of joy within them.

With a glimmer of determination in his eyes, Sirzechs turned to Grayfia. "We must investigate this further," he said, his voice resolute. "If it truly is Rias, we need to ensure her safety and offer our support. We need to bring her back home."

Grayfia nodded, her expression mirroring her husband's determination. "Indeed, Sirzechs. We cannot afford to waste any time. Let us gather more information and plan our next move carefully."
