Duality (DxD) (Part 1)

Ch 191 - So Many Stalkers

Rias was left, but not alone. With Jin and Koneko gone Rias turned around to look at someone she knew all too well. Actually a relative through marriage. A beautiful young woman with a voluptuous body, curves prevailing through her blue and white maid uniform. She had back-length silver hair, long braids on each side with small blue bows at the ends, with the rest let down at the ends of her twin braids. Her eyes were silver almost matching her hair.

Rias: I suppose you have something to say about me bringing a man here who's not a part of my peerage. Grayfia.

Grayfia was Rias' sister in law. Married to her older brother Sirzechs. They even had a child together. One that took hundreds of years to actually have, her brother and Grayfia hundreds of years old. Yet Grayfia didn't look out of her twenties.

Grayfia: So you know what you're doing yet you're doing it anyways. Going against what your parents, your father arranged with the Phenex family.

Rias: The decline of Pure-Blood Devils should not be a problem I have to suffer. Especially when it's with someone as unbearable as Riser. He's a predator! A prejudiced, chauvinistic...

Just as Rias was about to swear, she looked at Grayfia and gripped her hands. Riser was her secret. Riser Phenex was a noble of the Phenex family and her arranged partner. It was an arranged marriage where Riser would marry into the Gremory family from the Phenex family. A household with the rank of Marquis marrying into the Gremory family which held the rank of Duke, the highest rank in Devil society.

All for the prosperity of noble and pure-blood devils which had been declining since the Devil Civil War. Just after the decline that happened during the Great War.

Riser was not a man Rias ever wanted to marry. In her eyes, in the eyes of most women, the man was vile. For a family related to the legendary Phoenix, Riser wasn't anything so legendary.

Rias: What did you really come here to say Grayfia? If you wanted to have a friendly talk you wouldn't have waited till Koneko and Jin left.

Grayfia: You're right. I haven't come for a friendly conversation. In fact, I have two questions. One, what did you do in Kyoto? Two, you haven't told him your situation yet, have you?

Rias widened her eyes as she knew it, Grayfia was an amazing woman and Rias actually liked her quite a bit. But there was one thing she didn't like about her. The fact that she monitored Rias under the orders of her brother. As her brother's Queen piece, she kept a close watch on Rias' actions.

Rias: You mean when I entered Urakyoto? A place you couldn't so easily follow me to.

Grayfia: Did you...

Rias: No. If you're wondering whether I slept with Jin and lost my oh-so-precious purity before I was married. The answer is no. As for your second question, you will not tell or hint to him anything. If you do, I will never forgive you.

Rias said as she knew she was doing the wrong thing by not telling Jin her situation. But she also knew if anyone else told him, that if she lost time with Jin because of someone else, she wouldn't want to, but she would undoubtedly blame them.

Grayfia: This marriage is something your parents have agreed to.

Rias: But I haven't. So for you, I have one question. You keep such an amazing watch of me, so you know of the time I showered with him.

Grayfia: Your brother, my king and husband has tasked me with monitoring you while you're in the human world. I make sure to carry out the duties I am tasked with properly.

Grayfia tried to carry out her duties to the best of her abilities. Monitoring Rias, making sure she didn't make any rash decisions. She followed her king's orders and requests to the letter.
