Pillar of Hatred

Chapter 15

*Y/N Pov*

I look towards Akeno with surprise clearly plastered on my face for several reasons. The fact that another girl likes me romantically enough to join a harem, how I never saw that she liked me; I mean I practically lived with her for years because of how often I'd go to Rias's house, and why Rias even agrees to this. Those are just a few of the things running through my mind as I look at Akeno. I look towards Rias who looks over at me and seems kinda guilty... or maybe it's her being worried.

Me: Rias you... did you agree to it?

Rias: Yes I did Y/N, Akeno is someone I trust with my life and is like a sister to me.

Me: But what about waiting to see if this curse thing is even real?

Rias: Y/N, to tell you the truth I've been fine with you having a harem since the start. I saw my dad and well... almost everyone who's high class around my family have harems. So knowing that by sharing you with someone like Akeno who I trust... it makes me even happier to be dating you.

I stare at her shocked but realize she's right about quite a bit. At least 70 percent of high-class devils have harems especially due to the fact there are more female devils than male devils. There are about 65 to 70 females to the 30 to 35 percent male devils. It was more even before the war but almost all the males went to fight in the great war. The females did fight but it was more at the end so there weren't as many that died. There are still reverse harems with certain rules depending on things just like how if I accept Akeno into my harem. Such as the fact that Rias will be the first one to get pregnant unless she agrees to me getting another girl pregnant. Also how if the other girl did get pregnant her kid wouldn't automatically be the heir to the L/N clan.

Me: I... I need to go.

I push past Rias and out the door as my thoughts are all over the place. Too much stuff has happened within a few days and I just feel like I'll lash out at someone I don't want to be mean to. As I'm walking through the hallway I see that my peerage and maids are in the main hall. I walk over to Albedo before making her turn towards me.

Me: Albedo I need to go do something so I'm leaving you in charge right now.

Albedo: Is everything-

Me: Don't ask, just... please do it.

Albedo: Of course lord Y/N.

I walk past everyone before anyone can ask anything and leave out the front door. I make my wings come out of my back before jumping into the sky and flying away. I don't look back as I decide to just fly to my oldest sister's house because her house is the closest to mine. I feel terrible going there due to her still having to take care of her child. Once I make it to her house I land on the roof before sitting down. I put my face into my hands the thoughts overwhelming my mind. First I become the owner of a house, then I have to basically get respect from the maids, the village being attacked, and now the whole harem thing going on. Everything is just moving too damn fast and I'm only a 15-year-old boy.

Me: Is this some kind of fucking test by my parents or...?

???: They aren't the type to do that Y/N.

I bring my face out of my hands and turn towards the voice that's behind me. The person behind me actually surprises me as it's my sister's husband, Ben L/N. He took my family's name due to the fact that he is half-human. He was in her peerage for over a hundred years before they started dating and they got married before I was born.

Me: Ben... right now is probably not the best time. And don't you have a baby to help take care of?

He floats down onto the roof before sitting down next to me.
