7 6. The Wedding (May go through revision)

"She lost" like a pandora's box, the words of revelation filled his mind.

The girl who he knew for not so long, failed in her quest. But that was not the most important topic for him. However, the silver-haired girl's existence was.

With a prim and proper maid like clothes stood a woman a deceptive charm.

"Yes, it seems so."

Now that the news reached his ears, he could only lament on how hard his life would be. After all brainwashing and information gathering from Rias alone is quite easier. A gullible girl she is, mind filled with idealistic thoughts. These type of people however were easy to string along with.

'I guess this venture went down the drain' huffing a sigh, Ainz laid on his bed trying to simulate on how a teenager losing her best friend might feel like hoping in his small heart that this girl with menacing eyes leaves and not scare this overlord black-heart.

But she is still there eying him, 'She cannot see what I am. So why the treatment?' confusion spread his mind. Before leaving Nazarick, Ainz made sure to equip status and aura nullifying equipment with enough power to even escape the eyes of the world. Paranoid, he was, however, these events saved him quite a bit in his past.

"Issei Hyoudo, what do you feel about this marriage?"

Deciding to play it safe. Ainz spoke, "A marriage between two clans in order to restrict their overall lineage. Varying on standpoints my answer differs"

"Standpoints"

"Like for who I am advocating"

"I am asking only your opinion." Ainz wanted to say, 'just sell her to the bird' after all his inner collector wanted to know what might produce crossing phoenix and his well-endowed friend but that should be illogical for issei to say such. A pervert like him will only think low-class idealistic future as well as hop into any kind of friendship with his charisma. 'Imitating it will be hard but I have played this game for quite a while might as well get used to it.' Heaving a sigh. Ainz answered,

"I think that chicken should burn in hell. That bastard dared to touch..."

Hardening his resolve to let Issei persona face the world.

"Rias Oppai. That Oppai belongs to me" Trying to force in a stupid expression Ainz tried his best to deceive this wandering fetish maid. There is a saying 'the more obnoxious a statement is, the more likely people will believe it. This might just work'

With his internal war plan going on to overthrow this stupid maid who dared exist outside Nazarick and question his will, he is forced to enact judgement upon her. Papers were thrown, generals left their post as battles enacted for Ainz to come with this plan. 'Next time, I will just let pandora's actor handle this, this might as well be his dream job. But still, a nazi issei would still be suspicious?'

Trying to escape from reality Ainz drowned in his obnoxious theories.

"haha. You are quite a jester, you know. The reason for my question is simple. If you had the means to shelter her from this marriage will you do so?" With a fake smile in her cold face, she spoke.

This was a tricky question. If he truly was a breast loving hormonal teenage boy then his answer would have been an immediate yes. But Ainz was an ex-ruler, the meaning of words would simply translate 'Will you take responsibility for her?'

This simple action has more negatives than positives in the long term aspect. Being used as a tool, getting involved in their family feud or getting enslaved for a few centuries long. Every single answer led him to get chained himself.

'However, if her idealism is the reason for this problem. Then would it not be solved by removing so' turning her against her own.

Idealism never saves anyone as well caters to none. In reality, it is used by all people to defend themselves from growing anger of populace, like the creation of industries destroying Suzuki's planet from inside with the soothing words, to save others or annexing other nations, violating women and stealing their precious resources with words, to protect their own nation. In a small concept, it would stand as, us against them. But in the wider picture, there is no them, human killing another of their kind. For filling their cardinal sins. Nevertheless, if he fails then he would simply ditch her to demiurge, problem solved.

With an evil plan which demiurge would be proud of, Ainz entered the fray.

"Yes, I would"

Marriage Hall (Underworld):

Riser and his posse stood before his guest entertaining them to his utmost ability.

Chandeliers glowed at the centre. A giant hall filled by the nobility of all classes.

"I welcome you all to the union of our great houses and now I introduce you to my bride Rias Gremory" with an insignia of flames she came forth in a wedding gown.

But around the same time. A magical insignia filled a corner of the room. This took everyone's even the bride's attention away for a bit. After all, direct access is only provided to close relatives and as everyone was already present, only one conclusion could be drawn from it, A terrorist.

A familiar face made his way towards them. A boy she recognized, left to guard her only sanctuary.

"Issei"

"Why are you here?" Spoke his fiance in anger.

"It seems your attitude has yet to change"

Suddenly his left hand glowed throwing rias off from the thing manifested to this world.

"Sacred Gear..."

"I challenge you to a duel, Riser Phoenix"

Rias knew Issei for quite a while. His antics never failing to give rise on her laughter or his obsession shaming her. Again though no matter how less they have interacted, Rias trusted him the most. For the boy genuinely wished to aid her.

Anticipation caused butterflies to move on her stomach bringing in a silent giggle for the boy who remained neutral, fought for her.

"How dare you?!! Breaking in a sacred wedding as well to challenge me, Riser Phoenix to a duel, Know your place, maggot" A small fireball rose from his hands but before any actions could be made another actor to this stage came forth.

"I called him"

"Sirzechs. Why?" Her brother with his usual attire made his appearance.

"The wedding was getting stale. So I thought why not spice it up."

"But against him. An untrained human with no regards to the supernatural world, this is suicide. If not for me think of the boy..."

Suddenly, Ainz made his thoughts known," Ah, worried about me? I'm touched but there seems to be no concern from my side"

"Issei, thank you for all that you are doing but you do not need to push yourself for me..." said Rias in a meek voice.

"So, boy, now that you presented a challenge, what is your wish"

"You cannot be serious."

"No, I am. A no-name human, fighting against a member of one of the pillars of Underworld deserves a grand reward. "

"Is that so. Then, I wish for Rias to choose her own marriage partner and also an agreement from Gremory household to not interfere in any way towards her decision. That will be her free will. "

"Quite an interesting wish. Most would want her to want in marriage or an exorbitant item but to wish something like this is indirect scrutiny to the pillar. I accept your wishes"

Like such the dice was rolled...

----------------------------------

Maa...I still do not know which girl should I pick. Grayfia's mysterious knockers or Albedo charming love.

Ophis's innocence or the kohai Ravel.

Or should I go the father route Rubedo, teaching her of the world or be a lolicon?

I do not know...

Also, side note Rias progression will go nowhere for people expecting developments between them.
