The Legacy of the Most Unpredictable Ninja

"I have returned from the mansion, Sirzechs-sama." Grayfia stated without emotion.

She was once more in front of her king, reporting on what has happened.

Well...more like she was about to.

"I see! Well then, I assume that Ria-tan has taken the rating game compromise? Hopefully she could pull it off..." Sirzechs mumbled worriedly, drifting off into a Rias-centric brainstorming session.

"Sirzechs-sama." Grayfia called, trying to stop him from his descent into sis-con mode.

Too late.

"Oh man...maybe I should try to send one of my Peerage members to train her and her Peerage...? Uhh...but what if someone finds out that I interfered with the engagement...? The clans would cause an uproar because of it, which in turn could make my initial compromise invalid! Oh no! What should I do!?" the Maou cried out, his arms flapping wildly beside him.

The maid sighed, she was wondering when her husband's frantic worrying over his sister would transform him back into his usual personality.

It was a minor miracle that he managed to stay as serious as long as he did.

"Maybe Beowulf could hide his presence enough to help Ria-tan..." Sirzechs mumbled quietly to himself, seriously contemplating the risk.

Grayfia walked up to her king and promptly bonked him upside the head.

"Sirzechs-sama, please bear in mind that you are the Maou Lucifer of the Underworld. You must retain the dignity and prestige that your position has granted you, otherwise your political standing could become tenuous. So please calm down." Grayfia remarked, somewhat cross at her husband's habit of going off the deep-end when it came to his beloved sister.

Truly, what he was thinking of doing could potentially place Rias-sama in a bad situation.

The red-headed Maou pouted at his beautiful wife. "Ohhhhhh...don't be so mean Grayfia~"

The silver-headed woman merely rolled her eyes in exasperation. He could be such a...

She shook her head quickly, she had to get back on topic.

"Sirzechs-sama, before you embark on any hare-brained scheme...I believe it would be prudent that I tell you that Rias-sama has already been freed from her engagement with Riser-sama." the maid stated stoically, putting back her poker face on.

Sirzechs blinked.

Then he gaped.

"Wait...she's...but...how!?" the Maou stuttered incredulously.

Don't get him wrong! He was happy to hear such news! But...how was that possible? Did Riser get a change of heart or something of that nature?

Grayfia stood taller, preparing to give her husband the information that really mattered.

"...It seems that Rias-sama has made a rather...unconventional friend. One even more so than young Naruse Mio-sama. He goes by the name of Uzumaki Naruto and he's a human, he managed to trick Riser-sama into signing a contract that took legal precedence over the one that the Gremory and Phenex families have constructed." Grayfia explained, remembering the events that have transpired merely an hour before.

Sirzechs was gaping like a fish. Such was his shock.

"Are...are you serious? You're not pulling my leg right!?"

The maid's eyebrow twitched slightly.

"...I assure you Sirzechs-sama...I'm not 'pulling your leg'."
