(Y/N Pov)
Arriving in the room it's fairly standard with a table that has around ten chairs surrounding it. The Satans all sit down before motioning for me to sit down as well. I just wanna go home... I thought this would be a quick thing where they'd agree to it, I get my peerage together, we train, then I fight against Riser. Hearing a knock on the door my thoughts stop as I look towards the door as Serafall says to come in. The door opens and I see four people walk inside but to my surprise two of the four are ones I didn't expect. Instead of Lord Astaroth and Glasya-Labolas, it's the two girls from the clan along with my parents. This kinda confuses me since I thought the heads would come along but I guess not. The two girls bow as they greet everyone before Serafall asks them to sit down.
Sirzechs: First off, I thank you both for coming on such short notice and I'm guessing you both are already wondering what we've brought you here for. As you may know, the rating game between my sister Rias and Riser will be happening soon. Where Riser is fighting for Rias's hand in marriage, now to cut to the chase, due to it being heavily unfair to Y/N to risk Rias even without needing to fight due to them already being engaged. The court came to the decision that he shall be given girls from clans as a sort of deal. You two along with Roygun Belphegor and Ravel Phenex have been decided as the ones in that deal.
Looking at both girls I see them both keeping a somewhat poker face which is somewhat not surprising due to how devil society works. Not being the heir often means you're used as a pawn to grow the clan's alliances. If I remember right that's how it went with Venelana as well... To my shock as I was zoning out Sirzechs talks to me inside my mind.
Sirzechs: Y/N right now is the best moment to bring up not wanting to be in the marriage.
I nod just as he asks to the group of us whether or not we have any questions or concerns about it. That's when I speak up.
Me: I do.
Sirzechs: Go ahead.
Me: I'd firstly like to thank Roygun for being on my side for this as there are not many people who'd stick up for someone from my clan. Secondly, I'd like to state that if possible I'd appreciate breaking off the marriages as soon as possible once I beat Riser.
Looking around I can tell that Serafall and Sirzechs were both already expecting this along with my parents. But the rest of them are slightly shocked as getting other clan members into your clan is almost always a good thing.
Me: Now it may sound crazy but I have certain values I stick to and one of them deals with arranged marriages. Now I'm not saying the marriages will be immediately broken off as that'd be suspicious to everyone but I believe that after about two years we break the marriages off. I've never been one for an arranged marriage, I respect those that follow their clan's teachings, but I don't want to ever put someone into an arranged marriage.
Roygun: Y/N you do realize how great of an opportunity-
Me: Sorry to interrupt but yes I do know. I had said the same feeling with Rias when we first were told about our arranged marriage that I believe the two should know each other enough beforehand. Thankfully Rias and I did which has turned out great for us but I know none of you well. I've seen you all at parties and may have talked once or twice but never enough to be like "I want to marry that girl." I do hope that none of you talk about this to anyone else though...
Serafall: Don't worry, no one will talk about it as this meeting as right now I'm putting a magic seal on all but you Y/N so they can't talk about what happened in here.
Me: Thanks Sera.
She smiles widely and gives me a big thumbs-up toward me.
Sirzechs: Latia, Iryuka, or Roygun, do any of you have anything to comment on?
