Andrea Lapiz, who had been silently observing the unfolding events, finally spoke up.

Andrea:Danny Takahashi, right? Since that's your name, compared to Danny Hydohou

she said, uttering my real name and instantly making me feel a bit uneasy.

Andrea:You were once part of Rias Gremory's peerage until you died, is that correct?

she continued, her gaze piercing through me. There was an unsettling intensity in her eyes.

This woman was scary. She delved into a part of my past that I hadn't expected to be brought up in such a setting.

Andrea:You... she killed you, didn't she?

The room fell into stunned silence. Andrea's words hung heavily in the air.

Rias Gremory, the sister of the Devil King, murdering her own pawn? The revelation left everyone, apart from Sona, Tsubaki, Jack, and Serafall, visibly taken aback.

I couldn't help but frown, grappling with the weight of Andrea's revelation. The air in the room had shifted, a tense atmosphere settling in.

Andrea:So, Rias Gremory killed her own pawn just for you to somehow be reincarnated into what you are now, I presume?

Andrea's words were a stark accusation, casting a shadow over the room.

The revelation sank in, and the gravity of Rias Gremory's actions weighed on everyone. The shock was palpable.

Rai, known for his blunt honesty, added

Rai:This is messed up. How can someone just kill their own teammate and not face consequences?

Serafall, standing by my side, offered a reassuring glance, acknowledging the complexity of the situation. The room was now a battleground of emotions, with a revelation that had shaken the foundations of trust.

Ravel and Rai, stunned by Andrea's revelation, couldn't hide their expressions of disgust. The room, once filled with tension, now held a heavy air of disbelief.

Andrea continued with a grim determination,

Andrea:You see, the Gremory clan, who claimed to treat their Peerage like family, murdered their own pawn and also abused him severely before all this.

She threw several pictures of my lifeless body onto the table, each image revealing the harsh marks of abuse and maltreatment. The room fell silent, the gruesome evidence casting a dark shadow over the atmosphere.

I couldn't contain my anger.

ME:WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO GO INTO MY PAST WITHOUT MY PERMISSION?

I demanded, my voice cutting through the heavy silence.

Andrea, maintaining a solemn demeanor, bowed apologetically.

Andrea:I understand your anger, Danny, but the underworld needs to know the truth. Transparency is crucial for finding a resolution to the issues we're facing.

Sona, the voice of reason, intervened,

Sona:As uncomfortable as it is, Andrea has a point. The truth, no matter how painful, needs to be addressed for the sake of finding common ground.

I'm sorry Danny I wish  I realized sooner

Ravel, her initial shock turning into empathy, spoke up

Ravel:Danny, I had no idea. This is beyond horrifying. I'm so sorry you had to endure such treatment.

Rai, visibly disturbed by the images, added

Rai:This is an atrocity. No one should go through that, especially not by the hands of their own  peerage members
