Chapter 157 : Ritual

"Morning love, slept well?" Lucy asked as she blushed a bit, as Issei put his head on her should gently with his breath intently hitting her neck.

"Umm, I had a good sleep, though I did have a conversation with Ddraig, Elsha and the strongest host of Ddraig, Belzard.

But your delicious cooking woke me up, dear." Issei answered her softly, while kissing her neck making her shiver a bit with a smile.

"Really? Belzard?" Lucy asked as she was watching the eggs frying.

"You heard of him?" Issei asked with a bit of surprise in his voice.

"Well, we all heard him when you hot angry at Rias and was about to slaughter her, he, from the looks of things, took your body for a moment before releasing you hun." Lucy answered him.

"Hmm... now that you mentioned, I guess that is what Sirzechs wants to talk to me about the most, but oh well, we will see him after breakfast. it's Saturday, so no school." Issei spoke, making Lucy nod with a smile.

"Yes love, I think we should call Murayama, Katase, Cassie and Chelsea and start training for a bit after we return home.

It would be good for all of us to be prepared if something happens in future. Plus, we do have to go to Europe after all for Elsha's sake." Lucy told him making Issei think for a bit before he smiled.

"Sure, I was thinking of starting to increase my training anyway. So, we might as well train together." Issei spoke with a smile, while helping Lucy putting the food on the table.

Sitting in front of the two very powerful people would strike fear into almost anyone. And Issei, if he was honest with himself, was now very afraid of Grayfia more than Sirzechs.

It was true that Sirzechs was stronger, but woman's wrath was something he knew very well not to face if he wanted to live.

Drinking the tea, made by said woman, Lucy, Issei, Sirzechs and Grayfia were sitting in Sirzechs personal quarters around the table, with one couple facing the other.

"So... what do you guys wanted to talk... with me?" Issei asked a bit scared.

It took a few seconds for Grayfia to start this conversation, those few seconds were like an eternity for Issei as he waited what would be said.

Lucy and Sirzechs just waited to see what Grayfia has to say. If they were honest, they were expecting that Grayfia take Issei to talk to him alone, but she didn't so it couldn't be that bad, right?

"What we want to talk to you about Issei, is about what Lucy said about the ritual, and what happened to you after Rias spoke. But we will talk about the ritual now, we'll talk about Rias later." Grayfia spoke elegantly while slowly drink her tea.

"Sister, I know that the Ritual is big deal, but I have no doubt in my mind that we will do it, and even if we failed, which there is no way in hell, I would still love and cherish Issei with my whole heart and be with him." Lucy told her clearly.

"That I don't doubt Lucy at all, what I want is a confirmation on Issei about this and when did you mention this to him?" Grayfia responded to Lucy while looking her seriously making the said girl sweat a bit.

"Well, I did mention it to him when I took him to promotion testing. I told him that there is a ritual involving as to marry and him becoming the head of our clan then."

Lucy answered her sister making Grayfia look towards Issei who just nodded his head.

"What Lucy said is true, I was first surprised that there is one and that it would need me to get to achieve a High-Class to do it.

But that also gave me a lot more reason to go up the ladder as fast as I can, as I would be very proud and very happy to have Lucy as my wife."

Absorbing his answer, Grayfia looked towards Sirzechs who nodded his head in acknowledgment before clearing his throat with a cough.

"Now that would be something interesting to see. Though what would you do Issei when you get to be a head of the clan? That is the more important issue. I have no doubt about Lucy managing things in your name, though do you have anything that will strengthen Lucifuge clan with the rest, or will you use solemnly your own might to do so?" Sirzechs asked, knowing that the choices that Issei would make in the future could have a huge impact.

"Well, first thing is for me is to get to High-Class in order to get my peerage, and to do that Ritual in order to marry the woman I love with all of my heart.

Next is that I got Ravel from the Phenex clan to be my future Bishop, and just to note, she alone decided to be in my peerage without Lady Phenex or my influence.

That would hopefully bring closer the two houses. Of course, I will be in alliance with Gremory, that is without a doubt, so you can rest assure Sirzechs I will help in any way I can.

Then, since I made a pact with Elsha about bringing her back to life, I plan of course with your two's permission to go Norse and Slavic factions in order to bring her back.

With her, maybe I can also form a treaty with those two factions if things go smoothly." Issei answered honestly, making the adults look at his for the moment before processing all the info given to them. They couldn't help but smile at what he had planned.

It didn't take a genius to figure out what Issei planed, and from the sounds of things, it was rather an interesting plan, and one that would no doubt increase the Lucifuge prestige and strength it tenfold. Though that begged the question about Elsha's revival.
