"Another move like that, and Grayfia will be informing Lord and Lady Phenex, that there son is dead." Daniel's soft spoken words carried it's heavy intent as Riser sneered back in response.
"Riser-sama, Cole-sama, please calm down. However Cole-sama is correct. Another unwarranted action like that Riser-sama and on the name of Sirzechs-sama's honour, I won't hold back." Grayfia added as her response actually caused Riser to back down.
"To be told that by the Strongest Queen, even Riser would be scared. Riser definitely wouldn't want to fight the people from Sirzech-sama's group, which Riser knows to be made up of monsters." Riser stated out in a smug tone as if nothing had actually happened.
With the tension brought back down once more, Grayfia turned and began informing Rias. "Master, Sirzechs-sama, and those from the House of Phoenix knew it would turn out like this. To tell you the truth this was to be the last discussion meeting. Everyone knew that it wouldn't be solved, so they decided to make a last resort."
"Last resort? What do you mean, Grayfia?" Rias asked in slight confusion.
'So they didn't tell her anything after I had left then?' Daniel thought to himself in confusion from Rias' response.
"Rias-ojousama, if you wish to push your opinion forward, then how about you settle it by having a Rating Game against Riser-sama?" Grayfia stated out as Rias and the rest of her peerage looked stunned, except for both Issei and Asia.
"Rating Game? I think I heard about it before." Issei thought to himself out loud.
"It's a game that is played by the Devils with peerage, and they compete by making their servants battle." Kiba explained to Issei who remembered after hearing Kiba's description.
'Oh, I think I remember about it. It's a battle amongst Devils where you use your servants, Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, and Queen.' Issei thought to himself as Grayfia continued her explanation
"Just as you know, Rias-ojousama, only mature aged Devils can participate in an official Rating Game. But if it's an unofficial match between pure-blood Devils, even immature Devils can participate. However, in this case."
"When it involves the family and household problems." Rias stated out before she sighed in annoyance. "In other words Father and the others decided to have a game as a last resort if I was to decline, right?"
Grayfia raised an eyebrow at Rias as she asked. "Then Rias-ojousama, are you willing to accept your participation in this game?"
"Yes, I accept." Rias' response brought a smirk to Riser's face.
"Ha, so you're accepting it. Not that Riser minds of course. But Riser's already a matured Devil and has already participated in the official game. Right now Riser has won most of the games. Even so, you still want to play, Rias?" Riser replied back with an even more provocative words.
Rias in response sent back a fearless smile. "I will. I will knock you into the ground, Riser!"
"Fine. If you win, do whatever you like. But if Riser wins, you will marry me immediately." Riser's response caused them both to glare at one another again.
"Understood. I, Grayfia, have confirmed both sides opinion. I will be in charge of the game between the two household. Is that okay?" Grayfia asked both parties.
"Yes."
"Yeah." Both Rias and Riser stated together as they looked at Grayfia.
"Understood. I will inform the two households then." Grayfia bowed her head after the two devils confirmed the Rating Game.
"Would you need me to confirm as a third party witness?" Daniel asked Grayfia.
"That would not be necessary Cole-sama, but thank you for the offer." Grayfia replied as she shook her head.
"I still don't understand why a human of all things is here assisting with Devil matters." Riser sneered at Daniel who in response simple smirked back at him knowing it'll piss him off more.
"This human happens to be a close friend of Lady Leviathan." Rias snapped at Riser in Daniel's defence.
'No, Rias why did you say that!?' Daniel panicked slightly as Riser seemed to him like the type of guy that would use this information as blackmail.
"Oh, it that so?" Riser smirked as he glanced over at Daniel. "Seems like the little tramp finally found a man, or a dog in this case."
Without warning, Daniel was about to force Gáe Dearg into Riser's stomach, only to be held back by Grayfia. "You can mock me all day long, but say one word against Sera and next time you will be wishing for death when I'll be done with you!" Daniel growled as seemed to struggle holding him back.
"Please Cole-sama, calm yourself!" Grayfia stated out before she began to freeze his body in place.
"Seems like the dog is all bark then. It appears Riser had nothing to worry about with you." Riser stated with a smug grin as he looked over at Rias' peerage. "Hey, Rias. Would the ones here be your servants?"
Rias twitched slightly as she narrowed her eyes at him ."So what?" Rias' question only caused Riser to laugh though.
"Then this match will be a laugh. Only your Queen, the Priestess of Thunder can fight on par with my adorable servants." After Riser finished, he snapped his fingers as a magic formula appeared near the entrance.
As the figures from the formula emerged, Grayfia released Daniel from the ice prison. "Well, these are my cute servants." Riser stated as he stood directly in front of 15 other women of different ages and sizes. Each of them a beauty in there own rights.
All this was too much for Issei as he began to cry. "H-Hey, Rias... This servant of yours over here. Why is he crying while looking at Riser?" Riser asked in confusion.
Rias placed her hand over her forehead as she responded. "This boy's dream is to have a harem. I think he was moved after looking at your servants."
The answer though seems to disturb the girls of Riser's peerage.
