The Three Way Peace Treaty

Regina's PoV

The next day I received a call from Father inviting us to come with him as his guards along with Onii-chan.

Raina declined as she had some things to do with Medea at Regulus Dominion today so it will be only me. Ilya however seemed to be free so she is joining us.

Joining up with Ilya we teleported to Azazel's location as we will go there with all of us together.

"Greetings, Father, Onii-chan."

"Father, Vali Onii-san."

Both of us greeted Father upon our arrival. Looking outside I see a lot of Fallen Angels that will serve as guards outside during the meeting.

Seeing us the Fallen Angels also greeted me. They still didnt know of Ilya as she hasn't come here before.

""Princess Regina, Welcome!""

Onii-chan patted our heads with a smile before Father says to us.

"Ilya-chan is also coming?" He asked to which we nodded.

"I see well then lets go!" With his declaration we teleported to Kuon Academy where the meeting will take place.

...

We have arrived at the venue, the Fallen Angels stayed outside while the three of us accompanied Father to the meeting place. Grayfia was the one who greeted us and guided us to the meeting room.

"Welcome, Azazel-sama and delegates."

Father nodded with a serious expression as she guides us.

Arriving at the meeting room I saw that the representatives of the Angel side and the Devil side have already arrived.

On the Angel's side was the golden feathered Michael who has 12 wings out. Beside him was an unknown Angel who is serving as his guard.

On the Devil's side were the Maou's Sirzechs Lucifer and Serafall Leviathan, with Grayfia serving us tea. Sona and her peerave are also present.

Looking closely it seemed like Rias and the others still hasn't arrived.

"Welcome, Azazel, Regina." Sirzechs greeted us.

"Sirzechs, Serafall." I greeted them with a nod.

"Happy to be here." Father responded with a grin.

"Mou! Call me Levia-tan, Regina chan~!" Serafall pouted hearing me call her as such.

"Good day to you Azazel and delegates." Michael as well greeted us.

"Its been a while Michael." Father greeted him as well.

Father then sat down while the three of us stood at the back as we are considered guards this time. We were offered seats but we refused them.

We were served Tea by Grayfia.

Shortly after a knock was heard from the door. It was Rias with her peerage.

"My younger sister and her family." Sirzechs introduced them to the delegates here today.

"They were active during Kokabiel's raid a few days ago."

"I have heard the report, I give ny thanks once more" Michael says his thanks, where as Rias conducts herself cooly and  bows once more.

"Sorry for the trouble Kokabiel has caused." Said Father without any timid expression.

After confirming that everyone is present. Sirzechs nodded as he starts the meeting.

"Now that everyone has arrived, I'll say the preconditions for the meeting. The people present here acknowledge the most important event and forbidden subject, i.e. The Non-existence of God."

Everyone nodded. Ilya had also been informed by me beforehand.

"Acknowledging that let us start the meeting."

With Sirzech's words the meeting started.

The conference is progressing smoothly.

"Like that, we Angels-------."

Michael says that.

"That's true. That way would be better. If it's like now, certainly the 3 greatpowers will go down the road of destruction-----."

Sirzechs also says that.

"Well, we don't have any particular thing to fuss over." Father sometimes says things that freezes the atmosphere, I can see that he is enjoying it.

As the meeting progressed, it finally reached the topic of the attack of Kokabiel a few days ago.

"Now then, Rias. Could you speak about the incident a few days before?"

"Yes, Lucifer-sama." Says Rias as she stands up along with Sona and Akeno to explain the details of what happened in the incident a few days ago.

Looking closely I see that her hands are slightly shaking. Its understandable since a young girl like her is here in a meeting with two other leaders of different opposing factions.

As she explains the situation the expression of the leaders change with a sigh, scowling and a smile.

"---That is all. The report which I, Rias Gremory and the household devils over there experienced."

Rias who had reported everything was allowed to sit down upon hearing Sirzechs's "Good work, sit down".

"Thanks, Rias-chan~"

Serafall also sent a wink and a smile towards Rias.

"Regina, as someone who is also involved in the incident can you share a report from your side?"

"He was weak." I said simply. There is no need to beat around the bush. Rias has pretty much already said everything.

Hearing my answer Sirzechs sighs and then looks towards my Father who is laughing after hearing my answer. Onii-chan nodded in agreement towards my statement while Ilya has an expressionless face.

"Now then, Azazel. After hearing this report, I want to hear the opinion ofthe Governor of the fallen angels." Sirzechs said bringing the focus to Father.

"Regarding the incident a few days back, Kokabiel, a leader of our Central Organisation, Grigori, kept quiet to the other leaders, as well as to me, the Governor, and acted independently. His disposal was done by Vali and Regina. After that, in the organisation's court martial his punishment was enforced. His punishment is eternal freezing in the Cocytus. He can't come out anymore. The explanation for that, everything was written in the material that was forwarded to you, right? That is all." Father responded after calming down from his laughter.

Michael-san says while sighing.

"As the explanation, it is in the worst category but------ I know about the story of you personally not wanting to make anything big occur against us. Is that true?"

"Aah, I don't have any interest in wars. When Kokabiel attacked he also disparaged me, don't you have the report for that as well?"

This time it was Sirzechs who asks Father.

"Azazel, I want to ask one thing but, why have you been gathering owners of Sacred Gears for the past decades? At first I thought you were gathering humans, and attempting to augment your battle potential. I even anticipated you to wage war against heaven or us but...."

"Yes, no matter how much time passed, you didn't wage a war against us.When I heard you got hold of the Vanishing Dragon, I was enveloped by a strong wariness. You also have the current King of Heroes on your side as well."

Michael's opinion was the same as Sirzechs. He looked towards me who came with Father.

Hearing the two's opinion, Father smiles bitterly.

"It's for the sake of Sacred Gear research. If that's the case, should I send a part of the research materials to you as well? Even if I did research, I wouldn't wage a war against you or anything. I don't have any interest in war at this late of an hour. I am perfectly satisfied with the world right now.I have strongly ordered my subordinates, 'Don't interfere with the human world's politics', you know? I have no intention of intervening in religioneither, nor to influence the business of the devils. -----Damn, is my trust in the 3 factions the least?"

"That's true."

"That's right."

"That's exactly it~"

Hearing those response I almost burst out laughing but held it in.

"Che. I thought you were better than God or the last generation's Luciferbut, you guys are troublesome guys yourselves. Sneakily researching doesn't get along well with you, huh. Ah, I got it. -----then, let's make peace. Originally wasn't that the intention as well? Angels and Devils as well?"

Upon Father's words everyone was surprise. I don't see a reason to surprised as this was the purpose of the meeting anyway. Its pointless to just drag this on.

"Yes, I also planned to propose peace to the Devil side and Grigori. Even if we continue the relationship of the 3 factions like before, then it will become damaging to the world right now. I, the leader of the angels will also agree to it since---------the original cause of the war, God and Maou-sama have been annihilated."

Michael said that he wants peace in this interval. Father burst out laughing on Michael's words.

"Ha! That stubborn Michael has started to speak. Even though he was about God, God, God before."

I then grab a golden harisen from the treasury and hit his head.

"Father, thats rude."

"Sorry, sorry" He said with a mischievous smile.

"....I have lost a lot of things. However, there's no helping seeking forthings that aren't present. It is our duty to guide humans. We members of the Seraph have the same opinion that the most important thing is to watch over the children of God from now on as well, and to guide them." Explained Michael.

"Hey hey, with your speech just now, you'll 'fall' you know? -----I thought that but you took over the system, right. It's become a good world. It's completely different from the time when we 'fell'." Father said with a joking tone.

Sirzechs is also in agreement.

"We are the same. Even if the Maou isn't here, in order to continue the species, Devils too have moved forward as well. Even we wouldn't want war. --------If we do another war, the devils will be destroyed."

On Sirzechs' words, Father nodded as well.

"Yes. If we do another war, the 3 factions will definitely be mutually destroyed. And then, it will affect the human world as well, and the world will end. We can't do wars now."

Father's expression then became serious, completely different from his joking atmosphere before.

"Do you think a world without God is wrong? Do you think a world without God would decay? I am sorry to say but that isn't the case. Me and you as well are both healthily living like this."

Father said that while opening his arms.

"-------The world moves even without a God."

After that the conversation moved towards the interaction between each of the factions.

Compared to sometime ago, the feeling of nervousness has reduced as everyone understood that no one wants war.

"------And, is this it?"

Sirzechs said finalizing the treaty.

Michael then turned towards Issei.

"Now then, the discussion has considerably been solved in a good direction, is it alright if we hear about the matter of Sekiryuutei-dono soon."

Everyone's focus then turned towards Issei. Hmm? I wonder what matter he is talking about. It seems they have met before.

"Why did you exile Asia?"

On Issei's question to Michael-san, everyone had the astonished expression

"Why is he talking about it now?" Someone murmured.

Michael replied in an earnest manner.

"I can only apologise for that. .....After God had been annihilated, only the system to govern divine protection, mercy and miracles remained. This.system was, if I explain it simply, the system to perform the miracles etc. That God did. God made the system and used it to bring about miracles above ground. To bring about the effect of holy things like exorcism, crosses etc. these too are the system's powers."

Michael then proceeds to explain the reasons why he had to make Asia and Xenovia heretics. As the amount of people who knows of God's death will cause a major effect on the system. There is also the fact that Asia's power to heal includes Devils and Fallen Angels which would influence their faith.

Michael then proceeds to apologise to the two of them who were faithful believers.

"No, Michael-sama, please don't apologise. Even like this, till I reached this age I was brought up by the church. I somehow felt it was a bit irrational but if you know the reason then there's nothing such as asking why."

"The fact that you reincarnated as a devil, that is our crime."

"It's alright. .....I regretted it a bit but the things that I couldn't do when I was serving the church, the things that were sealed from me are now brilliantly colouring my everyday life. If I say these words, I may anger the other believers but..... Even then I am satisfied by my current life."

Asia then puts her hands together above her chest and continued to say.

"Michael-sama, I also feel I am happy. Since I now have a lot of important people. And also I have met and talked with the Michael-sama who I admired, it's an honour!"

On Asia's and Xenovia's words Michael showed an expression of relief.

"Sorry. I am grateful for your forgiving hearts. I leave Durandal to you, Xenovia. Since it's the family of the Sirzechs' sister then I am at ease that it won't be used by those who do as they please."

Azazel is looking at Asia. Asia also noticed it, and her body trembled.

"It seems my subordinates killed her while keeping quiet about it. I received that report as well."

Issei said to Father with anger and annoyance.

"That's right, Asia died once. E-even I was killed by Fallen Angels but above that Asia! It may be something that occurred in a place you don't know but the Fallen Angel girls who admired you killed Asia for your sake. I know that I have no right to say anything in this conference. What happened earlier was Michael-san's measure. Right now it's completely from my own personal grudge."

Rias at his side was trying to calm him down.

"It's true we Fallen Angels are eliminating those Sacred Gear users whomay cause harm to us. As an organisation it's obvious right? Sensing that a person may become a threat in the future, then if we know about it beforehand, you'll want to eliminate him. And because of that you died.The reason is, the human with no talent, you, could have run wild with the power of the Sekiryuutei without being able to control it, and have a bad effect on us or the world."

Although what Father said seems cruel. It was a rational decision. Unlike Onii-chan, Issei didn't have enough power to awaken the sacred gear nor control it. If it went badly he could rampage which would have been bad if it happened in populated places. The past red dragon emperors were didnt also have a leave a good impression with all their rampaging into juggernaut drive. The incident with Asia on the other hand were not Father's orders but from a traitor, Kokabiel.

"Thanks to you, I am a Devil."

"Do you dislike it? At the very least, those around you are happy that you became a Devil."

"I-I don't dislike it! Everyone is a good person and I know that I am receiving favourable treatment. However!"

"Even if I apologise now, it's too late. That's why, I am thinking of doing something that only I can do, to make you stand on both your legs."

It seems like Issei was confused on what Father said. However I have an idea regarding it.

"Now then, it's time we hear the opinion of people other than us, those who seem like they can influence the world. "

"Firstly, Vali. What do you want to do in the world?"

On Father's question Onii-chan answers.

"As long as I can fight strong people its worth it."

"Even if there is peace you can still fight strong opponents like Regina." Father responded to which Onii-chan nods in agreement.

Father then turns towards me.

"Regina how about you?" Father asks me as well.

"I dont mind peace, however I will retaliate against my enemies. Raina also has the same opinion." I said with a cold voice. I then remembered something and continued. "Ah right, I have a suggestion. I request that we hold a rating game that includes those in the alliance. This will satisfy Onii-chan's wish to fight strong people as well as become a way for those in the factions to vent against their former enemies.

Its not like they can accept their enemy as their allies that fast. Especially those who hold decades of hatred due to the conflicts in the past."

I explained to them as everyone nodded in agreement.

"We will take your suggestion into consideration." Said Sirzechs.

Seeing that I am finished Azazel then turns towards Issei.

"Then, Red Dragon Emperor, Hyoudou Issei, what about you?"

Issei however has an akward expression as he scratched his head.

"To be honest, I don't understand it well. Somehow due to all the fastidious stuff my head is in chaos. In addition to that, I am desperate about looking after my junior devil, so even if I am told what I think about the world, how should I say it, I don't have feelings gushing forth."

Issei said in confusion.

"However, you are one of those who has the power to move the world. If you don't make your standing clear then it would be difficult for those standing on top of each of the powers such as me to move."

Seeing the troubled Issei, Father got an idea.

"Hyoudou Issei, then let me explain it in a very simple manner. If we fight,then there will be a need for you to also fight at the front stage. If that happens, you won't be able to sleep with Rias Gremory."

"-------!"

"If we make peace, then there won't be a need to fight. If that happens,then what's left that is the most important is continuation of the species and prosperity. You may be able to endeavour in making children with Rias Gremory everyday. How's that? Is it easy to understand? If there's a fight, then there's no sex. If there's peace then you can have sex all the time.Which will you choose?"

Well thats one way of looking at it. The reasoning is ridiculous though...

"I would like to have the peaceful one please! Yes! It's peace, alright!Peace is the best! I want to do ecchi things with Buchou!"

He really is an idiot... *sigh*

I look at Onii-chan, it seems he is looking at this scene in amusement. Ilya is trying to hold her laughter. Father on the other hand was laughing.

Rias upon hearing this had a red flushed face.

Yuuto-kun had a bitter smile and had a 'oh boy...' expression.

"Ise-kun, Sirzechs-sama is present here you know?"

Realising that, Issei tried to explain his reasoning more.

"Um... I, since I am an idiot, the meaning of the 90% contents of thisconference are obscure. However, what I can say is, since the power residing in me is strong then I'll use it for my comrades. Buchou, Asia, Akeno-san and also the other members as well, if they're exposed to trouble then I'll protect them!....Wait, I am still quite weak though. However what I can do is about that. Even if I have to risk my life, I will live alongside my comrades--."

It was then at that moment that we all felt a sensation as the world around us froze. Golden aura covered my body as the others froze.

Ilya was covered by a silver aura as she was protected by her blessing from Svarog. Onii-chan's wings on the other hand were glowing which protected him.

The leaders along with Grayfia were also free. Yuuto-kun and Xenovia were protected by their swords. Issei then shortly came as well along with Rias who was protected with the boosted gear due to them holding hands.

They then explained what happened to the confused Issei. I exchanged glances with Ilya as she nodded and prepared for combat.
