Akeno couldn't quite hold back the tension she was feeling, but she could certainly look like that wasn't the case.

The 'Priestess of Thunder' was by no means a weak girl. Though she cursed the blood in her veins for the taint it carried, she was still half fallen angel, and had been reincarnated as a devil as well. She was a queen class servant, and her powers were nothing to scoff at...

At least, that was what she told herself, as she tried her best not to sweat at the sheer, overwhelming, chilling, and downright horrifying power that the silver haired maid sitting near her King, Rias Gremory, was emitting.

'Grayfia-san is as amazing as always,' the queen of Rias Gremory thought to herself, adding in the customary 'Ofufufu' in her head even as she struggled to maintain her usual calm Japanese beauty persona.

It was hard to maintain a sense of superiority or pride when you were standing next to 'Strongest Queen' of the underworld.

Akeno had at one point or another thought that even maintaining a sense of relaxation was hard in the presence of Grayfia Lucifuge.

That belief was being challenged quite thoroughly by her two kohai's that were currently resting on a nearby couch.

"Ojou-sama," aforementioned maid of the apocalypse began, disapproval obvious in her tone. "Are you sure that it is appropriate..."

"Its fine," Rias declared, some of the tension easing out of her body as she turned a look in the direction that Grayfia's own disapproving one went.

"My apologies," the dark-blue haired girl sitting on the couch began, though she didn't look at all apologetic.

Instead, she seemed content to spend her time smiling gently at the golden haired head resting in her lap.

"Though we are servants of house Gremory, we are still inexperienced in the ways of devils. Gremory-sama has been most generous in allowing us time to adapt."

"I've said it before," Rias sighed good naturedly besides Akeno. "Hinata, won't you please simply call me Buchou?"

"If Gremory-sama asks, then I suppose there is nothing else I can do for Gremory-sama other than to comply," Hinata replied politely, smiling innocently.

"After all, Gremory-sama's wishes must be fulfilled, and whatever it is Gremory-sama requests, than it is my duty to fulfill that request for Gremory-sama."

Normally, Akeno would have something to say about such blatant insubordination. That was normally, however. This, this was a special case.

This newcomer, the single pawn known as 'Hinata' had only shown up recently in the Occult Research Club.

Akeno was aware, passingly, of her history, a girl who had recently recovered from a coma, aided by her devoted boyfriend at the cost of him joining the peerage.

Afterwards, after learning the price her boyfriend, had paid, she had thrown herself into the same pact so she could be with him forever.

It was just so romantic! Even now, with the 'Strongest Queen' standing nearby, with everything else afflicting her King, Akeno still couldn't suppress a delicious shiver at the thought of it.

The boy, no, the man, willing to give it all to be able to save his lover! The lover, on learning what her man did, throwing it all aside to be with him as well!

Akeno had to physically suppress the urge to lick her lips as she eyed the dozing Arata, blissfully unconscious on the lap pillow that his woman, Hinata, was providing for him.

Even with the tension of Grayfia's disapproving look on him, he somehow managed to sleep peacefully on the thighs of his lover.

It was almost enough to get her 'affair point' up and running. There were only two things that kept Akeno, the 'Ultimate S', from trying to make a move on the romantic young boy.

First is, Hinata, despite being having no sacred gear or hidden ability, Akeno can still find herself terrified by the look that the white-eyed girl was giving her.

The other reason that Akeno's 'affair point' never quite was reached was... well....

They were just so cute together!
