2 days later, Rias and her peerage (- Asahina and the exorcists) were under pressure of Arashi's bloodlust and killing intent, proving it was too strong for them to handle. The said Asahina was sitting on his lap, sleeping. Grayfia barely holding herself from trembling as the pressure he lets out was certainly deadly.

Grayfia: 'Arashi-kun is truly angry.. I don't blame him, it is involving Asahina, his sister. Still I don't expect him to be such eye candy~'

She thought with bit of lust as she thrist for love ever since she broke up with Sirzechs.

Arashi: "First and foremost, I didn't expect Devils do such a thing. My sister's free is one thing and I was nominated as Ultimate-Class Devil by Maous and Devil Council despite being human is another. What's the reason for you to do such thing, care to elaborate, Grayfia Lucifuge?"

He looks at the Lucifuge's heiress.

Grayfia: "We have no ulterior motives if that's what you referring. We've received warning from Lady Amaterasu from Shinto Faction regarding Rias abusing her authority as Governor of Kouh in handling situation that resulted with your younger sister's death in the first place. Since she is a Devil therefore I personally volunteer to recruit you."

She answered to his inquiry.

Arashi: "Recruit me for what purpose? Hypothetically speaking, what's the beneficial factor for me if I accept your offer to become part of your peerage as your Queen, Grayfia Lucifuge?"

He asked again. Grayfia was taken aback by this as she didn't have the answer.

Grayfia: "I uh... well..."

She was stuttering in fear as she felt his bloodlust has skyrocketing to another level. To everyone present, they (- Asahina) were absolutely terrified to the point they couldn't utter a single word from their mouth.

Arashi: "Well? I'm waiting."

He said impatiently. Grayfia looks down in resignation as she indeed doesn't have the answer. Arashi retracted his bloodlust which allows them to breathe in as much air they needed.

Arashi: "Hmm. Give me time to think about this, I will give you the answer after the Kokabiel fiasco. For now, I want you to watch over my sister for me."

He said calmly. Grayfia nodded her head and took Asahina from him then teleported away. Arashi looks at the heiress of the Gremory.

Arashi: "Now then. I don't have much to say. I'll have to ask you the Devils not to interfere with our mission here therefore if I see any of you or Sona Sitri and her peerage, I'll slaughter you all. Keep that in mind, we are here to apprehend Kokabiel and retrieve what he stole from the church not babysitting you Devils. That being said, keep your blonde Knight on tight leash. I'll personally deliver the man that he wants to kill."

Kiba wasn't expecting Arashi to do such thing however he grateful for that therefore he will agree to stay out of their mission without hesitation.

Kiba: "Very well. I'll be expecting that man groveling at my feet, begging for mercy before I kill him."

He said in cold tone.

Arashi: "Understood. Now if you excuse us."

He stood up from his seat and walks out of the clubroom with the other exorcists.

S.C - Gremory's Estate, Underworld.

Grayfia went to Sirzechs' office after put Asahina in her room. On the way there, she was greeted by the butlers and maids and she returned the gesture. Once she arrives, she knocks on the door.

Sirzechs: "Come in."

His voice echoed from the other side. Grayfia opens the door and walks into the room.

Sirzechs: "Ah Grayfia. How's the meeting going? Did he accept your offer to become part of your peerage as your Queen?"

He asked with the anticipation, hoping that man accept her offer.

Grayfia: "He asked me what's the beneficial factor if he accepts my offer but I don't think ahead of that so I don't have the answer. I don't even know what he wants in the first place but he told me that he will give me the answer after Kokabiel's fiasco, he needs time to think about it."

She said truthfully.

Sirzechs: "I see, at least he didn't reject it. He just need time since it is something he can't take lightly. How's his sister by the way? Where is she?"

He looks at his Queen.

Grayfia: "She's currently sleeping in my room, I was entrusted by Arashi-kun to wa--"

The realization hits her as she use suffix •kun• with Arashi which made her heated up, steam literally came out from her ears.

Grayfia: 'D-Did I say Arashi-kun just now??'

Sirzechs let out a giggle seeing his Queen gets all flustered because of a man.

Sirzechs: "You finally found someone else to love. Good to know that, you deserve it. You are free to pursuing him, Grayfia."

He commented with a smile.

Grayfia: "S-Sirzechs-sama! He already has a fiance plus he is a human!"

She said stoically after composed herself.

Sirzechs: "From what I heard of him, he has 3 fiancee. I don't think adding one or two more would hurt plus if he accepts your offer, he can't called himself a human. Furthermore, since his sister is a Devil, I'm sure he will add her as his Bishop. I doubt she want to be with Rias over her older brother of all people."

He explained logically. Grayfia nods in agreement with her King's assessment as he does make a valid point.

Grayfia: "You're right. It's been too long I ever felt this way, I hope he accept my offer. If he does, I'll confess my feelings to him."

She said with a blush on her as she thought of Arashi, the man who stole her heart.
