64 His Feelings: Heart-wrenching II

"Sandalphon, the guests cant start coming…"

The green-haired Satan spoke to a device in his hand before shooting Richter a glance, "we have your word that there won't be any inconvenience, right? You call yourself a dragon, so surely your word is worth something" Ajuka frowned and gave one step forward just as Richter took place on his couch again. Lucy approached with a smile bringing the tray with shrimp again, refilled and with extra pink sauce.

"Naturally…"

Grayfia sat beside him on the same couch and began having shrimps from the same tray, Sirzechs' face contorted again seeing such intimacy and he walked forward, stopping both of them with his presence.

"Grayfia… it is good to see you again".

The silver-haired beauty sighed, looking past him her eyes met Layla's hurt eyes, she bit her lips and looked at the red-haired man with anger.

"Where is your wife, Sirzechs?" All she wanted him was to stop lingering and at least take her hand. While all this happened Richter measured the three of them.

"Layla and I… yeah, we're married, little Millicas is going to come soon, he'll surely want to meet you, Rias-chan too".

His words, friendly, only made everyone in the room frown, even Fia the east-going mother-in-law was releasing some killing intent, 'why does it sound like you're not sure!?'

In his part, Sirzechs bit his lips in respite, he loves Layla… but he loves Grayfia more, when thinking that having one of them would ruin his chance with the other, he made his choice.

'All I need to do is defeat this man… that's all'.

Grayfia sighed until she received a mental message from Richter who then left the trail on her lap and stood up, his movement garnered everyone's attention.

He walked up to Fia and hooked his arm with the surprised mother-in-law before walking up to the three other devil kings and hooking his arm with a distracted Layla.

"Let's go… the guests are coming through the air, no? we shall receive them on the terrace" He said offhandedly, all of his senses kept on Grayfia, his mate. Dragons are most conscious of their mates when there is a threat nearby, and as much as an ant that Sirzechs was, with his attitude... if Grayfia hadn't yet killed him herself, it was because she considered him important. Which was a direct threat to him.

"H-How do you know?" Serafall asked only for the man to begin walking away followed by a part of the servant's entourage.

"I already sensed them, and your group of troublemakers all lurking a few kilometres away, playing hide and seek. More than ten, a few of them gods~"

'H-He sensed our peerages?!' The devil kings frowned and followed his path to the towers that led to the top floor, leaving Grayfia and Sirzechs.

The silver-haired beauty sighed at the message that her master sent her.

'Settle down his hopes, or I'll end him',

Grayfia Lucifuge gulped down a mouthful harshly.

In front of her was a man who seemed to rejoice infinitely at the chance he was just given.

"Sirzechs…" She stood up gracefully and inhaled deeply, this was also a chance for her from her master, a chance to end everything once and for all.

"Grayfia, I have really missed-" Lucifer began enthusiastically.

"You need to forget about me," She said bluntly, not coldly... but bluntly.

"…" His eyebrows flinched just as his heart did.

"I'm in love with Richter-sama… I have given everything to him already, I'm his mate… you need to stop, please".

Sirzechs felt as if his heart wasn't being crushed, but instead pressed and twisted inside out.

"You're married to my sister, you have a beautiful child… stop chasing after me… it is going to cause trouble for the two of us. I see you as a friend, we have fought together and shared… moments, but that's all in the past".

"Layla told me that you have been with him for a mere year, while you and I have shared… decades! How can you love him!?" He felt outraged, he felt it was unjust... after waiting for so long the person he loved came back only for her to be with someone else... even when they promised to marry each other.

It was so outrageous that he could barely take it; not only that but he couldn't just blast away the man into existence because for one; he was indeed strong and two, it could have repercussions in the underworld as a whole. His endeavour as Satan Lucifer was to set aside personal feelings for the sake of all devils.

And right now his endeavour and personal feelings were clashing like never before.

Grayfia didn't know what to say, how did she fall in love again? he hadn't even tried, she just fell hopelessly like a stupid girl, be it his strength, demeanour or personality, she loved it all.

'If I had to say a moment... it was... yes, that moment~' she recalled the first interrogation that she got from the Dragon God, that was the moment she fell in love.

But Grayfia wasn't about to reveal those saucy details here, she coughed and went to the point.

"It just happened, Sirzechs… he's charming and I fell in love, that's all. I doubt any more details will ease your worries. That's all I ask you, for the sake of the two of us… let's talk like two friends who re-encountered after a long time? is that too hard to do? Layla is gorgeous, please focus more on her, you're hurting her"

The maid extended her hand forward in a sign of courtesy so he could shake it; delivering a bright friendly smile, hoping that Lucifer would be reasonable and this matter would finally be settled. She didn't want things to end badly; from the bottom of her heart, she still appreciated Sirzechs and his efforts for the underworld.

Not only was he her first love, but while she left to complete her mission he stayed and fought for the sake of the devils. Not only that but he's her sister's husband and the father of her nephew. She didn't want some stubborn infatuation to get in the way of a good friendship.

But Sirzechs seemed to be relentless, unable to let go.

Without asking for permission, instead of shaking her hand, he jumped with the intention to hug her tightly!

!!!

When Sirzechs grasped Grayfia's body he finally felt calm, taking her tightly in his arms; he hugged her as hard as he could and realised that her hips were wider than expected.

"Grayfia, I love-"

"GRRRRRR...."

A world-ending growl was what answered him; an ominous growling came from 'Grayfia' and opened his eyes only to see the golden-haired man looking at him with a gaze filled with killing intent.

*RUMBLE!!!*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!*

The red satan's body phased through three walls, shooting like a meteor into the forest where he destroyed a least fifty trees before blasting against a mountain that finally stopped him.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!*

He coughed a mouthful of blood and rain poured on him as a shocking aura pressed him to the ground mercilessly. Lifting his eyes he saw a golden light and there he found Richter Golden-Haze in his hybrid form, his wings spawning long as he floated.

His golden scales shone in the night, brighter than the moon itself.

"Let's do this boy, stand up... you say we won't know until we try? it is your time to try~" Richter beaconed him to stand up lazily, crossing his arms and floating on the sky as the whole terrain around him began to get pressed, the trees crushed under the weight of his aura, leaving a plain land, but this much was something the satan could resist.

The castle was far away in the distance, Sirzechs had been blasted a good few kilometres away into the desolate forest.

"Just what I wanted!" Sirzechs cleaned the blood in his mouth with a thrilled smile, it had been a long time since someone made him bleed, the last one had been Thor, the God of Thunder.

*RUMBLE!!!!*

Unparalleled destruction seeped from his body in the form of a crimson pillar that reached to the skies directly decimating the mountain as his body began to float and morph into something sinister with twelve devil wings and black scales.

The strongest being in the underworld, the strongest member of the three factions together with Archangel Michael.

A Super Devil.
