Maoyu groaned as she woke up.

She slowly opened her eyes, wincing a little.

'When did I get here?' She asked herself, looking around.

She was currently sitting at her computer desk.

She suddenly groaned again as memories from last night came rushing back to her.

She had sensed an unfamiliar presence in the house last night that wasn't too friendly.

She remembered running up to Issei's room and breaking through the door.

It was terrible timing.

Rias was standing beside Issei's bed in only a pair of white panties, facing an older woman.

The woman had silver hair and was dressed like a maid. Her silver eyes glanced at seeing her enter the bedroom.

"What's going on here?" Maoyu looked at Rias. "What are you doing in our house?"

"M-Maoyu...." Issei stuttered.

"I'll explain everything, later." Rias told her before looking at the older woman. "But first...."

"I won't allow you to call my dear servant a lowborn. Not even you, my brother's queen."

Silver eyes shifted to Rias before looking at the floor.

She picked up Rias' clothes.

"In any case, you are the next head of the House of Gremory." She put a shirt around Rias shoulders. "Please have some respect for yourself."

She stepped away and turned to Issei.

"How are you?" She said, her silvers boring down onto his brown eyes. "My name is Grayfia, and I am in the service of the Gremory family."

She gave him a small bow.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance."

"S-Sure...." Issei felt a little flustered.

'She sure is pretty.' He blushed.

"Ow-w-w!" He exclaimed in pain as Rias pinched his face and pulled.

He looked at the girl, giving her his attention.

Rias stopped and sighed.

"Gomenasai, Issei." She said. "I wasn't in my right mind. Let's both just forget about this."

"Y-Yeah..." he agreed.

"Issei?" Grayfia said thoughtfully. "You mean, he is..."

"Yes. He's one of my pawns." Rias stood back on her feet.

Grayfia looked down at the boy.

"The one who bears the Boosted Gear, and is possessed by the Dragon Emperor, is this boy?" She said with a small frown

She was clearly looking down on him.

"W-What gives?" Issei was offended.

"I will hear what you have to say at my headquarters." Rias stood in front of him defensively. "Akeno may join us, right?"

"The Priestess of Thunder? I do not mind." Grayfia answered. "Those who are upper-class devils always have their queens at their side."

Rias sighed and turned to Issei.
