Chapter 46: Truth and Corrections Will of World.

Riser then said, "Yes, I know. And I will invite someone from my side as I do not have any trust towards both Gremory and Phenex family. And I do know that Lucifer-sama will be present. So, I need someone from my side so that I will be safe from any harm. And don't worry, the one I will invite is someone you all know."

This time Grayfia too got angry and asked, "Riser-sama, I can tolerate all the things that you said till now. But I will not tolerate when you say that you do not trust the credibility of Gremory family."

Riser was waiting for this line. He was asked by Pyran and Trini that when the name of Gremory was on line for discussion, he can let them know that he knows what they did with the second son of the Gremory. But it has to the last thing he says before teleporting out.

So, Riser smiled and said with a mock polite tone, "Oh then please tell me how to trust you when you all know that I not the one who will sell my peerage member body to get what I want but all through training. But when have you come forward to dissuade the rumours. And the last time when I fought regarding this, I was asked to let this go as the others will not believe. Who was that allowed this detail run this deep till I am unable to clear my name.

And don't tell me nobody knew. I know how much Lucifer-sama loves hs sister. He will have a constant check about my news and location in the underworls. Not to mention Zeoticus-sama and Vanalena-sama. And you are asking me to trust the credibility of Gremory family.

Now tell me Lady Grayfia, am I allowed to be scared for my life."

Grayfia was speechless and was unable to retort to Riser's questioning. She knew that this was their fault that they defamed the young man opposite to her and she is in no way to retaliate verbally. If allowed she can silence him, but it seems Riser has thought of this development and spread his visit to Rias earlier.

They can always say some accusations after killing him but this will make them grow a seed of doubt. Not to mention Riser's connection with Asaroth, Agares, Bellial and few more clans. Also, that someone he will call for their meeting. If something happens to him, there will be a new civil war in underworld.

After thinking through all this Grayfia looked at Riser in a horror. Riser looked at Grayfia and knows what she was thinking. Riser then smiled politely and said, "It seems Lady Grayfia understands where this will go. Please send the details of meeting details to my devitube messenger. I will not be present in Phenex family house as will be out for training."

Riser then started the teleportation circle and got ready to teleport out. Before teleporting he said, "One last this lady Grayfia. The thing I'm most worried about is the double standards that you follow in Gremory family. I not talking about your servants but the second son of Gremory. Do think for a single second that you have closed off the news. I know about him and I will spread the news if something happens to me." Then he vanished.

The news was like a bomb exploded inside Grayfia's head. Before she can stop him, Riser vanished. Rias was confused as to what riser was talking about. She looked at Grayfia, who was looking like she was terrified. Rias though Grayfia has a second child other than Millicas and something happened to him. But as far as she knows, there was no one like that present in the family house. 

Before she can ask questions, Grayfia said, "Rias-sama, there no time to talk. Please follow me to underworld. You can take all your peerage members there too. There is something important I have to talk with Sirzechs-sama. Please don't make any trouble."

Rias was stunned due to the seriousness. She wanted to protest but all those ideas vanished after seeing the look on Grayfia's face. She was sure that she will be taken to underworld by force if she so much as to say otherwise. Rias nodded and said, "In that case I will take the devil train as one of my peerages has not been to underworld formally. It will help me in registering his energy signature to underworld."

Grayfia nodded and started sense the teleportation circle that was left my Riser. As Riser said, he was in the underworld, in the Phenex family house. Even if she wanted, she will not be able to take him by force without offending Phenex family and she is not sure if the Phenex family knows anything about Rahakki Gremory.

Riser after speaking with Grayfia, went straight to Phenex family house. He went straight to his mother, Caitlyn Phenex. As soon as he found her, "Mother I've come here for Trading Bishop piece of Ravel with yours."

Caitlyn was surprised by the visit but was displeased due to his urging. "You've just come in but went directly to the subject. It has been a long time before we were able to have a talk. Sit down first and lets me have a look at you."

Riser knew that this was not due to her motherly love. She just wants to know the detail of the what happened in the meeting with Rias. So, he immediately said, "Mother I know you wanted to know the details of the meeting. Don't beat around the bush. There are few complications but everything worked out for me. Let us finish the Trading ceremony. You can ask all the details from Ravel later."

Riser used the evil piece to command Ravel to keep quiet till finishing the Trading ceremony. Caitlyn too got embarrassed because of Riser's statement, which was true, and wanted to hear the details from Ravel as soon as possible. She started the ceremony and traded her pieces with the piece within Ravel.

As soon as the Ceremony was over, Riser teleported out with his peerage. At that time Caitlyn was did not concern with why Riser left immediately. She wanted to know about the meeting and that was her priority. 

As soon as the Trading completed, Ravel ran to her mother's embrace and started to cry. Caitlyn was surprised and then was worried about her daughter. Ravel has not cried this hard till now and she was sure this was because of something that Riser did. It took her half an hour before calming down Ravel. 

Before she could ask Ravel, what happened, a maid came in to announce Vanalena has come for a visit. Caitlyn was surprised but when she met her a distressed Vanalena whose first question was, "Caitlyn, can you call Riser out. I want to speak with him about something." Now Caitlyn was completely sure Riser did something and it will bring a headache to the family soon.

Earlier in the Gremory family house. As soon as Grayfia teleported in to the Underworld, she asked Sirzechs to come to Gremory family hose. Then she called both Zeoticus and Vanalena to come to the living room. In fifteen minutes, everyone was present. There they met with a restless Grayfia. 

Vanalena was not sure what happened to Grayfia and asked, "Grayfia dear, what happened? Why are you so restless. And why have you called us? Did something go wrong between the meeting with Rias and Riser. Don't worry, we can handle whatever comes our way." She was really looking forward to something going wrong between Rias and riser. She was not okay with the Marriage contract and she wanted Rias to come out of it. And knowing Rias, she knows that something will go wrong.

Zeoticus and Sirzechs were curious too. Zeoticus was worried but Sirzechs was elated. Bu both did not show any emotions in their face other than being curious. They both looked at Grayfia for explanation. 

Grayfia too a deep breath and said, "Everything went wrong in the meeting. Not a single thing went according to our plan. One thing we can be sure of is that Rating game between Riser-sama and Rias-sama is happeneing. But that is not what I called you all here for. It was because of the news regarding Rahakki-sama and his whereabouts."

This shocked all those present. Vanalena was the most affected. She just came out of her self blame after the birth of Millicas, son of Sirzechs and Grayfia. But hearing the news of her second son threw her off.

Vanalena immediately grabbed Grayfia's shoulders and asked, "Grayfia, don't play around. You know how I was broken down after not finding him for so long. Please tell me this is ture and you are not deceiving me."

Grayfia knew what Vanalena was feeling right now. After she gave birth to Millicas, she understood the pain of motherhood and she was not sure how Vanalena was able to abandon Rahakki in the first place. But she understood the reason and the state of their mind at that time. 

Grayfia said in a placating voice, "Don't worry Okaa-sama. If the news came from our sources I would've checked before telling you all this. But this came from someone else. That is why I am getting worried now." She paused to let Vanalena digest the news. Then Grayfia continued, "While Riser was leaving, he said to me that he know about the second son of Gremory and what we did. He threatened me by saying if something happens to him, he will spread the news to all of underworld. Riser was more aunning and manipulative than we give him credit for. That was why I did not pursue him before consulting with you all. There are few more things happened but that can wait for Rias-sama to come."

The news shocked everyone to the core. Zeoticus and Sirzechs were getting serious after hearing what Grayfia said. It will be a huge shit storm if the news of Rahakki leaks out from a different source. If they were the ones that released the news, they can surely manipulate. Before all this they have to find Rahakki and talk to him first.

Vanalena too though about this but she was not patient as Zeoticus and Sirzechs. She immediately teleported to the Phenex family Territory. She wanted to see Riser first and talk to him. She was sure she can have Riser talk to her.

After Vanalena vanished, Zeoticus started to talk, "When can handle one problem at a time. Grayfia, what happened in the meeting. It is not like Riser will unable to use this news as to get Rias marry him. This news alone enough for him to have Rias Marry him into his household."

Sirzechs was displeased with his father's statement but was able to understand what he said was true. But he too wanted to know what Riser was thinking. As far as he knew, Riser was a Casanova. He can use this knowledge to even draw a wedge between their family and Rias. He can use this news to manipulate her into marrying him.

Grayfia nodded her head and started to recount what happened few days ago when she went to meet with Rias. She told them about how Rias was ready to give away her virginity and how she sopped her and what conversation they had. But suddenly, Vanalena teleported in.

Sirzechs immediately asked, "Mother, did you see Riser? What did he say?" Vanalena looked sad and said, "No, he traded his bishop piece with his mother and left. He was not present in underworld and as per his sister, Ravel, he should've gone to his master who belongs to the Chaos Originals."

This got all of them present shocked. If what Ravel said is true, then the Eternity knows about Rahakki. But they all wanted to know the full proceeding of the meeting before planning for further action. And Rias came in on time. She came in with her peerage members. Zeoticus and Sirzechs then thought for a moment and decided to call their own peerage. This will help them plan for a detailed action.

Grayfia then started the news from the beginning. Few of them gave Rias a disapproving look and Vanalena was outright glaring at her. Issei got the glare of all those present which sent shivers down his spine. As per the canon, he was supposed to meet most of those who present here.

Then Grayfia talked about what happened in the meeting and the argument between Rias and Riser. How Issei disrespected Riser. How Rias reacted and confessed. How Riser retorted. What happened after the Rating game was proposed and what were the demand of Riser. How he speculated about Rias's conduct. And finally, about his statement regarding the credibility of the Gremory family and regarding Rahakki's news.

Everyone was silent was digesting the news they got from Grayfia. They were not sure how to proceed. But they were sure that this was cause a huge impact for the Gremory family.

Before anyone could speak, Rias shouted, "Who is Rahakki? And what is with Riser shouting about second son of Gremory? What is it that you guys hiding from me? Please tell me this before you decide about my future."

Everyone looked at her guiltily and Vanalena started to tell her about Rahakki, the second son of Gremory family. What happened and why he was not here. After hearing the story, Rias looked at her crying mother angrily and asked, "So, if I was not born with our bloodline, you will have sent me out too, right?"

Vanalena looked at her terrified and answered, "NO!! I learned my lesson after losing him. I was unable to forgive myself to this day. I was only able to come out of my depression after the birth of Millicas."

Rias had an angry and depressed look. Vanalena was looking at her with a crying face. But Akeno, Kiba and Koneko felt uneasy about the actions of Gremory's. They felt that they have made the mistake and were trying to justify their mistake. But Issei was only looking at Vanalena chest area with great awe. But after seeing the look on Rias and Vanalena he shouted,

"Don't worry Bouchou and aunty. I will make sure to bring your sone back to you even if I had to beat it out of that Fried chicken. So, please trust me and trust us to bring him back to you. We will make sure that your family gets reunited."

This got all their attention. Rias was touched and said his name emotionally, "Issei!!!" Akeno, Kiba and Koneko forgot about their unease and got motivated. Rest of them present started to view Issei in a different light. Mainly Sirzechs, he started to consider that Issei will make a good match for Rias. What they failed to understand was how their mood shifted from depressed to motivated in a short period of time.

Immediately after that Zeoticus and Vanalena went to Phenex family to dish out the details for their meeting. Both Corey and Caitlyn were informed about the meeting by Ravel. She gave them all the details from start to end. She also gave up the names of who Riser was meeting. After Zeoticus and Vanalena came in, the went straight to the planning the future meeting with Riser, Gremory and Phenex. Corey and Caitlyn did not ask anything about the second sone of Gremory.

Corey then said, "So, we can have the meeting planned tomorrow. We can set it up in the underworld. As you guys agreed with the parting of the territory, I will not ask for any other compensation from my end. But we will try to convince him to marry Rias as she will be a good match for him. If he agreed, there is no need for signing off the territory. I too have something to beat into his head. I will have all his siblings present during the meeting."

What they don't know was that Riser was doing all this for his own purpose and he is not one to get controlled. He has already made allies for few heirs that were willing to move to his territory and few low nobles and large number of commoner devils. He already made plans and now is waiting for the meeting and Rating game to start.
