" At Lelouch's curious stare, the Satan elaborated further. "Over the millennia, Ophis has appeared to us Devils, the Fallen, and the Angels and even other Gods in many forms, their current form changes with their whims." He shrugged while Lelouch nodded in understanding.
"A being born at the literal creation of all universes in the void between worlds is beyond understanding except in very small respects. She is older than any living creature except maybe Great Red can comprehend."
"I understand." Lelouch nodded at Sirzechs' comments. "So… where do we go from here?" As interesting as the discussion was, Lelouch knew Sirzechs wanted more answers than just how he got here.
Sirzechs stared blankly at the young Devil before chuckling. "As long as you are happy being my sister's Knight and you keep her safe, I have no issues with you being in this world." For a nanosecond, he flexed his powers once more, causing the former Emperor to break into a cold sweat.
"As long as you have no designs on conquering the human world, or any other, there will not be any issues between us." A lopsided smirk graced the Satan's face. "I can't promise that my colleagues won't have questions, but I'll make sure to ask they be discreet so your secrets aren't revealed until you're ready."
Lelouch sighed in relief at the terms Sirzechs outlined. "Thank you." He wasn't sure when, but at some point he'd like to reveal his past to an extent to his new friends.
With that, Sirzechs left and the meeting between the Demon Emperor and the strongest of the four Satans ended.
"Oh, by the way, that mansion you're renovating?" Sirzechs spoke as he was about to leave the room. "Don't worry about the costs, I'll handle everything for you." He turned back and smiled at Lelouch's gobsmacked face. "Consider it a gift for giving it your all and helping my baby sister."
With that, the Devil left and Lelouch was stunned speechless.
Two weeks passed in the Underworld after Lelouch met with Sirzechs. It was mid-November, not the greatest time for a wedding, but that was as long as Riser had given Rias to prepare.
Lelouch knew Sirzechs had a plan to sabotage the wedding, the Satan had been spending some time with Lelouch discussing strategies once Lelouch let it slip he was also a big brother.
The thought of Nunnally being put in Rias' position made Lelouch boil with rage. Given how Rias felt about Issei, Lelouch convinced Sirzechs that his idea for involving the Pawn was a good idea, but that he'd need to be more discreet if he actually wanted to minimize the political fallout for his parents.
Apparently, despite having the Gremory name and being Rias' little sister, officially Sirzechs was no longer a Gremory.
That's why Rias was even in line to become head in the first place and why this marriage had been arranged between her and Riser's families.
Lelouch understood using marriage for political gain, though he found it distasteful. It was Sirzechs' idea to setup a duel between Riser and Issei, but Lelouch convinced the Satan to be a little more underhanded in his method of convincing Issei to attend.
At the wedding party, Lelouch stood next to Koneko, who was wearing a black dress that meshed wonderfully with her white hair and pale complexion, that managed to look tasteful without impeding her movement.
Lelouch himself was wearing a suit Sirzechs helped him find, the pair having grown closer in their plotting to a point where they could almost be considered friends.
Akeno was aware of some aspects of the plan, as was Kiba, so they would be on guard to handle any attempts to interrupt.
Koneko kept clenching and unclenching her fists as her gaze shifted around the party, constantly aware of the guards.
"Calm down." Akeno's voice whispered from behind Lelouch and Koneko. "The two of you look jumpy." Wedging herself in between them, the Queen pressed her breasts against Lelouch's arm. "Let's dance, I want to talk to you." Akeno winked at Koneko as she dragged Lelouch to the dance floor. "I'll give him back shortly."
Lelouch allowed himself to be pulled to the dance floor, falling into step easily as his old training kicked in, though his gaze did meet Koneko's shortly before he turned his full attention to Akeno.
If her true features were showing he had no doubt her ears and tail would be twitching in annoyance.
Placing his hand on Akeno's waist he fell into step as they began to dance. "What do you want?" Lelouch asked, his gaze meeting Akeno, though his eyes kept flickering to the entrance.
"I wanted an answer." Akeno pressed herself against Lelouch, much closer than needed for the particular dance. "You know I like you, I know Koneko likes you." She pouted as she twirled in his grip, the dance music flowing through them. "It's rude to keep avoiding the answer, you know."
Lelouch sighed as he finally decided to bite the bullet. "I understand." Looking at Akeno seriously, he gave her a soft smile. "I'm sorry." There was a pain in Akeno's eyes at his answer, but she returned his smile.
"It's ok." Her reply was uncharacteristically kind and soft. "Just so you know." She leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "If you ever hurt her, your torture will make all of the Underworld blush." She nipped his ear playfully and continued. "And if you ever want more than one, well you know I'm interested." Lelouch blushed slightly at Akeno's words and her nibbling on his ear, but his soft smile remained.
"Thank you for understanding." Lelouch knew heartbreak wasn't easy, but Akeno was being surprisingly mature, minus her teasing about joining in at some point in the future.
The song ended soon and Lelouch returned to Koneko, holding his hand out. Her face went from annoyed to shocked rather quickly. "May I have this dance, Shirone?" He whispered so quietly only she could hear. A light dusting of pink graced Shirone's face.
