Fallen Scales

Half Breed

"WHAT?!

She couldn't believe what she had heard from her brother. That Fallen Angel is her new fiance!? She had just gotten out of a forced engagement and now she has to be in a new one? Hell, even Akeno was shocked at the news. Akeno had a look of both anger and sadness on her. It was obvious that the reasoning behind that is because she hates Fallen Angels and rejects her heritage.

"But I thought after Riser I was free to marry whoever I pleased!" Rias exclaimed. "Why would the Elders accept this anyways?"

"That's because they saw better opportunities out of this marriage" Sirzechs replied.

Rias looked at her brother with a confused look. "What do you mean?" Rias asked.

Sirzechs took a pause. As much it was a bad idea to explain the Elders reasoning he just had to. He cared much of his younger sister and thought she deserved to know. "They saw this as an opportunity to strengthen the bond between both factions. There is obvious tension between us and the Fallen Angels. Even though their Vice Govenor General is married and is having a child with a Devil woman she isn't high enough in status to lessen the tension. Because i'm the current Lucifer and you're my younger sister you and Issei could become the bridge between Devils and Fallen Angels" Sirzechs explained.

Both Rias and Akeno stood shocked at the explanation. The Elders wanted to use Rias just to form a bond between the two races!? Fallen Angels have wronged both her Queen and Knight and now she has to marry one of them!? At this point she didn't know which was worse. Marry Riser or marry Issei.

"Is there anyway for me to get out of this one?" Rias asked.

"No there isn't" Sirzechs replied. "Rias you should give Issei a chance. Although he gets somewhat aggressive he's a good man"

Rias took those words to heart. She would decide how much of a good man Issei is herself. "And what are his views on the engagement?" Rias asked.

"The thing is, he has knowledge of it" Sirzechs explained. Rias' eyes quickly widened. The fact that he still has no idea about the whole engagement was shocking to say the least. Perhaps that's why he acted somewhat cold towards her when he picked up Raynare. "Azazel thought it would be a better idea for you two to formally meet before he tells Issei"

"I see. In any case I appreciate you telling me about this big brother" Rias thanked.

"You're welcome sister" Sirzechs replied. "I have business to attend to. I'll speak with you soon" His hologram quickly disappeared from where it once stood.

Both Rias and Akeno were left in the darkness of the ORC room. Rias began to think through the entirety of the conversation.

'He's a good man huh? I'll see about that' Rias thought.

[Timeskip Kokabiel Fight]

"That's right! Not only did the Four Great Devil Kings perish from the war but so did God!" Annouced ten winged Fallen Angel Kokabiel. "Even when we were winning Azazel forced us to retreat from my war! The glory of winning was stolen from me!"

"Y-you lie! There's no way for God to be dead!" Yelled a blue haired exorcist. She was unable to accept the fact that the one person she fought for her entirety of life ended up being dead the entire time. She didn't want to believe it. She refused to believe it.

"Oh but it is true. It was during the battle between the Four Devil Kings and God which resulted in their demise" Kokabiel explained. "It's Michael who filling Gods role to keep the system intact"
