"Also, I cannot forgive you for calling my servant lowly, even if you are my brother's [Queen], Grayfia. To me, he is far better than anyone else."

Rias spoke seriously, her tone angry, which caused the maid named Grayfia to fall silent.

Grayfia seemed to sigh lightly, bent down to pick up Rias clothes from the floor, and draped them over Rias shoulders.

"Regardless, you are the next head of the Gremory family. Please maintain your dignity."

After saying this, she looked at Badr, sizing him up.

Badr sat calmly on the bed, showing no fear despite the dangerous aura emanating from the woman in front of him.

"Did you cause such a disturbance with the master of the family just for this kid?"

Her tone was calm, but it was clear from her voice that she looked down on Badr completely.

Just as Rias was about to say something, Badr spoke softly:

"It seems you misunderstood something. Rias didn't do this for me."

As Badr stood up, a flash of light covered him, and he was suddenly fully dressed. He met Grayfia's oppressive gaze without hesitation:

"Rias is standing up for herself."

Grayfia stared at Badr without saying a word, but the pressure she emitted grew heavier, as if she could crush someone with her gaze alone.

Badr felt the pressure but wasn't affected by it. Using his Sacred Gear to bolster his will, he stared back at Grayfia defiantly.

"That's enough! Grayfia, even though you are the strongest [Queen] in the Underworld, this is not your place to intervene."

Rias spoke with unprecedented determination, "If there's anything to discuss, let's talk at my place. I'll bring Akeno with me. Is that acceptable?"

Grayfia lowered her gaze, seemingly conceding a bit, "As a high-ranking devil, it's appropriate for you to bring your [Queen]."

"Fine, let's settle everything there. I've had enough." Rias said coldly, taking Badr's hand and initiating the teleportation.

Grayfia immediately followed. Everyone gathered, including Koneko and Asia.

...

Rias shared her predicament with everyone for the first time.

There was no choice; she was truly running out of time. The family had been pushing their agenda, and her small efforts to resist were proving ineffective.

Koneko and Asia understood the situation but were equally helpless.

After all, if Rias couldn't solve the problem, what power did they have to stop it?

"Badr, you have a solution, don't you?"

Rias looked at Badr.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Badr nodded, "I have one."

"Really?"

Badr chuckled, "Actually, the solution has been there all along; you've just overlooked it."

Sitting on the sofa, Badr's gaze swept across everyone present, "Among devils, isn't there a specific way to resolve all disputes and allocations?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

"You mean... a Rating Game?" Rias asked uncertainly.

"Yes, if you win against that guy in the Rating Game, no one will have any reason to object. The reason could be that Rias fiancé can't be weaker than her."
