chapter 4

Kuoh`s Mall.

It has been a week since Alex became a Devil Servant under Rias Gremory. He honestly didn`t expect to have so much new lived throughout one week. While Alex could definitely say that this week was one his favorites in life, it still had some positive moments of its own and good results as well. Throughout this entire week Alex has managed to actually get along with Akeno and Koneko and establish normal friendly relations, with the occasional flirting, from Akeno`s side. With Kiba Alex was still on more neutral side, but at least he didn`t annoy him with needless questions or small talk at the most inopportune times. With Issei, the relations were rocky, at best. Both literally couldn`t stand each other at times as they were so much different from each other in personalities and their beliefs. That also hasn`t made things easier with Rias, who saw Alex`s independent nature and his solitary act as some sort of insult to herself and her honor, because Alex was her Servant, her Pawn and even with Gremory family treating their servants as part of their own family, it was expected of them to do their master`s beddings, along with showing deserved respect and trust in each other. Unfortunately, in Alex` case, he still were to consider Rias as someone he would respect or trust.

Granted, however, he did his job as Reincarnated Devil with spreading the fliers and working on the contracts with the clients and fulfilling their wishes as the summoned Devil, scoring 3 contracts under his belt already and having set up ORC`s new official web-site after he approached Rias with the idea. That, in turn, has boosted the flow of the contractors and clients. Of course, Alex didn`t just work for Rias only. As Sona has promised, she arranged for Alex to become a freelance linguistic specialist, specializing in translation of documents. Job was fairly familiar and Alex did it well, earning him already some good money for translating 4 documents for the department. Not enough to get himself a separate apartment, but, with the income like that, he wouldn`t have to worry for his own wallet getting empty any time soon.

As for his trainings, Alex was already making some noticeable progress in controlling his Sacred Gear, increasing his physical abilities and in developing his own unique Devil`s powers. While Rias wasn`t helping out with training her Servants to better hone their skills and abilities, probably thinking that now wasn`t the time. Fortunately, Alex had a pretty good mentor in Galeran to help him develop his abilities in controlling Forsaken Regalia and it`s powers. Along with that that, he shared with Alex the knowledge of sensing the energy around him and how to identify to which race it belonged and measure up the power level from how much of the energy were the users letting out. As for his demonic abilities, he had to go and ask Sona of the assistance about it. Heiress of the Sitri family, despite all of her work and strict graphic, was more than willing to lend a hand to Alex in developing his abilities as a Devil, teaching him the foundations of Devil`s magic, energy manipulations and how does the magic works. Basically, as long as the user could create a concept of a spell and have enough energy to pull it off, then there shouldn`t be any trouble with using it. Alex has taken this to a heart and it resulted in Alex quickly progressing in the magical field. Sona herself was surprised to see Alex effortlessly controlling several of the energy balls and shooting them. She noted that Alex possesses vast magical force and with his determination and will, he soon might just be able to match up with some of the High-Ranks in mastery of dark arts. That only encouraged Alex to progress even further and right now he was actually in progress of creating his own unique magical technique. The concept was already made up in his mind and worked out. All that remained was to perform the technique in real life on someone.

And today might just be his lucky chance to do so.

For the past 30 minutes, Alex has felt the presence of a Fallen Angel in the mall, one that has been following him for everywhere he went, probably spying on him and looking for an opportunity to take him out. While the Fallen did a good job at staying off the radars, Alex did catch a look at her: long black straight hair, youthful appearance, alluring beautiful body and violet eyes. She was actually emitting quite the amount of energy, signaling that she was either pretty powerful, which wasn`t helping her to in spying on others, or that she was putting on a disguise trough the usage of magic. Second was Alex`s pick. In this situation, the best thing that Alex could`ve done was to retreat to ORC, but he had other plans in mind.

Right now, Alex was heading towards the underground garage level.

'Galeran, give me a heads up on what can I expect from her?' Alex asked his partner.

[From the amount of energy I`m sensing and usage of that disguise, I assume that we are dealing with two-winged Fallen Angel, their lowest branch of fighter.] Galeran reported. [While she is clearly not Baraquel or Azazel by a very long shot, she might put up a good fight against you. If anything, this might be a very good opportunity of testing out your own strength and powers in a fight with someone who should be in your own league, though I have my doubts.]

'Hm, I`ll consider it.' Alex spoke in his mind, opening the door in the underground garage. 'Fallen Angel`s greatest assets are her wings, giving her a huge advantage in battles in the opened areas. This garage renders this advantage basically useless and evens the odds in our favor.'

[Well thought, partner.] Galeran approved of such strategic approach to the situation at hand. [And seeing how you still have yet master up your own combat flights, grounding a Fallen Angel to the ground is a very good choice.]

Alex looked around the garage, noticing the light`s switch on the wall. Just what he had needed, and seeing how there were no humans to get in the way, this might just be his best bet ever to beat this Fallen Angel. And, if he were to get in trouble, Alex had little doubt that Tsubasa Yura, a member of Student Counsil and one of Sona`s servants, would intervene and help out. After all, she has been following Alex for a week now. Not that he was against it, knowing that it was Sona just keeping an eye out for him. And honestly, Alex would`ve done the same for Sona if he was in her place. Now that Alex had a look at the place he has chosen as a stage for showdown, all he needed was to wait for the lead actress to show up.

It took just only a minute for the Fallen Angel to reach the garage and open up the door, revealing her entering the place, where Alex was simply leaning against the wall just a couple of centimeters away from the switch. The girl did manage to put up an act, looking surprised seeing how the area was deserted, leaving just her, Alex and numerous cars around. Alex was the first one to break the silence, looking at the Fallen Angel with a stern expression.

"You have a good timing, lady." Alex spoke up calmly. "Just two minutes and you already have found me."

Angel managed to put up an act of confusion and spoke to him.

"Um, sorry, but I think that you`ve mistaken me for someone." Girl acted cutely. "I`m simply going to my car, mister."

"Doubtful." Alex objected. "Seeing as you don`t have a bag with yourself and your skirt doesn't have pockets as well, so there is no place where you could place your keys. Not that you would need a car in the first place, seeing as you have a far more effective way of transportation trough flying."

Now that stunned the girl and for a moment she dropped her cutely persona and her expression has changed to one of fear and surprise. Alex capitalized on that one moment.

"Let`s drop the act and get down to the business, shall we?" Alex offered, getting in the straight position. "While I do find this look quite appealing to the eye, I would like to see your true form, Fallen Angel."

The girl`s expression of surprise and fear grew larger until it turned into one of anger and fury from the fact that Alex has discovered who she really was. And in that moment, she decided to completely drop the act and reveal her real self, as she transformed from the seeming school girl into a more developed woman in a very revealing skintight suit, complete with a pair of black wings from her back. While, Alex knew that she was an enemy, he couldn`t help but admit that she was attractive by all means. Besides, Alex may`ve never liked redheads, but girls with black long raven clad hair which look like black silk and are smooth to touch- that`s where his little secret weakness lied. Still, Alex knew better then to allow his basic male instincts to take over, and kept his eyes on Fallen Angel`s face. The girl now spoke.

"Well, I must admit that I`m impressed that you sought through my disguise. For a low-class Reincarnate Devil this is quite the feat." She praised Alex. "Still, it won`t help you in what comes next. I`ve first hoped to get some information out of you, but now I`ll have to settle on simply killing you."

"Those are some rather bold words coming from someone who is currently at the disadvantage in this situation." Alex commented, rising his own energy levels.

"What are you saying? I`m the one who is in charge of this situation here." Fallen Angel boasted.

"Yare yare daze…" And with that said, Alex activated his Sacred Gear, signature coat, battle boots and gantlets appearing. "I think not." Alex turned around and with one hit smashed the switch, resulting in Forsaken Regalia absorbing energy coming from the electrical backlash.

In the next couple of seconds, the entire area went completely dark and almost nothing could be seen, save for a few back up lights and a light coming from the exiting tunnel. Alex counted on this, being informed that Devils have a better night vision then most other races and Fallen Angels do not have it, so this was playing to his advantage. It was good that Forsaken Regalia only shot bright when it was absorbing the energy and when it wasn`t, then it was good for blending in with darkness. Without wasting any time, Fallen Angel casted a spear of light and quickly thrown it in the position where Alex was last seen by her. However, the spear only managed to hit the brick solid wall, revealing that Alex was no longer there, but somewhere around here, hiding. This only aggravated her and she began to steadily search for him.

In the meantime, Alex was hiding behind one of the spotted earlier cars, using his senses of energy to track down Fallen Angel`s position. Right now, she turned her back to him as she was getting further away from him. Alex took this opportunity to plan his next move.

'Galeran, is Forsaken Regalia capable of absorbing the Holy energy from her attacks?'

[Only if it hits the Regalia itself, then yes, it`ll absorb it without any harm done to you and empower you further. Forsaken Regalia not only the condensates the energy, but also its stabilizer. The only downside is that in order to relief the extra energy you must put it to some use.] Galeran answered. [By the way, aren`t you going to use that new technique you`ve been working on?]

'I will, but I need to get a little more power from our fallen friend here.' Alex looked out of his hiding and saw that she was turning around and moving towards him. 'If my technique fails or backfires, I want to have my own magical reserves to be untapped in case of the emergency. That`s why I`ll use her as a battery for myself.' With that said Alex left his cover and walked right up in front of the Fallen one.

Girl looked surprised to see him show himself up, but didn`t hesitate and simply have thrown a light spear at him, followed by the second one incoming at Alex. Alex waited for several seconds, wanting those spears to get closer to him. In any circumstance, he could dodge them without too much trouble, but right now they were his targets. And right when the first one was about to him, Alex`s left arm extended to the left and his gauntlet seemingly blocked the upcoming spear. However, in reality, it was immediately sucked inside the Sacred Gear that Alex was wearing, granting him quite an impressive amount of extra energy and power. When the second one was on its way, Alex didn`t hesitate and absorbed this one as well, gaining the same amount of power up as the previous one. Needless to say, that with the way this girl was recklessly sending those spears without much of concentration and power measuring, Alex received quite the boost in his own strengths. Fallen Angel looked in shock and fear at what she just witnessed.

"W-what have you done to my Light Spears?! Where are they?!" She was freaking out.

"I`ve absorbed them, silly." Alex simply answered, walking towards her in confidant stance. "You see, this coat, gauntlets and boots are actually my personal Sacred Gear, which allows me to absorb whatever the attack from the enemy thrown at me and then using this energy as my own. And your Light Spears have just served as a very powerful boost for me."

"What?!" Fallen Angel was freaking out. "There is no Sacred Gear that I know that is capable of this!"

"There is one." Alex contradicted, starting to concentrate the received energy in his left palm, deciding that it was an opportune time to test out his special technique. "And its name is Forsaken Regalia." And in that instant the small area around the two was flashed with the white energy.

The source of that light was coming from Alex`s left palm. Once the light settled down the Fallen Angel taken a look at it and she was shocked at the sight she was looking at. Alex`s left hand was engulfed in a concentrated energy, forming a structure of a blade with a thin long transparent blade of white color. Alex taken a look at it himself and noted.

"Hm, it worked." He admitted with a small hint of pride in his voice.

And then he immediately charged at Fallen Angel, who was now backing down and trying to flee away, but Alex was closing in very fast. And once the range was short enough, he swung his left palm and stroke down the Fallen Angel with his energy produced weapon. In one long slice, the energy sword caused the Fallen Angel to scream in pure agony and pain, a line formed from the slice, but there was no open wound. Instead, it looked like the Fallen Angel received a high-powered energy attack that caused her to fall into the oblivion. Alex stood above the defeated Fallen Angel, observing his blade.

'Looks like we call it a successful testing.' Alex concluded, deactivating the energy blade, but not his Sacred Gear. 'White Slicer is working just as it should.'

[I`m surprised that it didn`t kill her. Was there a miscalculation in power output?] Galeran wondered.

'No, I`ve purposefully didn`t put more energy into the Slicer, not wanting to overstep my limitations in controlling it during the fight.' Alex explained. 'Although, now that I`ve used it, I can say that could safely put more juice into it. But it`s actually a pretty good thing that I didn`t kill her.'

[Hm? How so?]

'Remember how Koneko mentioned that there have been awful a lot of Stray Exorcists and Fallen Angels showing up lately?' Alex reminded his partner. 'What we have here is a Fallen Angel who has been taken out of commission, but is alive and might hold very valuable information regarding Fallen Angels and their plans here.'

[In other words, you`ve got yourself a prisoner who holds vital information about the enemy.] Galeran commented. [Well, I have to say is great job, kid. I`m officially impressed by you.]

'Thanks for the compliment. Now, just to figure out the way to…'

Alex`s train of thoughts was stopped once the lights switched on and the entire area was now bright as day. Black taken a look around himself only to notice a very familiar trio walking right towards him. Those three persons were two of his close friends, Sona and Tsubaki, and the person they`ve sent to watch over him, Tsubasa Yura. Sona looked with a bit surprised expression at Alex, who seemed to be absolutely fine, standing over defeated Fallen Angel. She was the first to break the silence.

"Alex, I assume you are alright?" Sona asked curiously.

"Yes, not a scratch actually." Alex responded. "By the way, fancy meeting you here, Sona. Did Tsubasa inform you that I was in a bit of trouble here?"

The said girl received a stern glare from Tsubaki, signifying that it was a secret covert operation and she blew it. Alex decided to intervene before blue-haired girl was burned alive by Tsubaki.

"Tsubaki, in her defense I can say that she was doing an impressive work of staying out of my line of vision." Alex defended the girl, causing her to blush slightly. "The sole reason why I knew that she was following me is because my dragon-mentor has trained me in art of energy sensing and I`ve spotted her from quite the distance."

"And you are not mad that I`ve put her up on watching after you?" Sona asked curiously.

"Honestly, I kinda feel flattered that you would do something like that for me. If anything, I should thank you for looking after me." Alex admitted, causing Sona to blush up a little, but then turning to the defeated Fallen Angel. "Now, about this Fallen Angel over here. I`ve managed to defeat her without killing her, so she is just out cold for a couple of hours or so."

Student Counsil members looked a little surprised and came closer to take a closer look at the defeated Fallen Angel. Tsubasa was the first one to speak up.

"Wait, how did you manage to take her out cold? She may be only two-winged, but she doesn`t look like a weakling either, by our standards." Tsubasa noted.

"You are right, she is quite strong and has powerful Light Spears for a Fallen Angel." Alex noted. "I`ve simply used the advantages I had at my disposal: closed space, darkness and my trainings, along with my now fully developed technique I`ve been working one. That`s the result of its usage."

"Well, I`m impressed, Alex." Sona admitted. "Not only were you able to hold your own against a Fallen Angel, but you`ve defeated her without even taking serious damage. Rias clearly doesn`t even realize what kind of a piece she got herself." Sona praised her friend. "So, what are planning to do with her? I assume that you didn`t keep her live just on a whim, did you?"

"You are right." Alex nodded. "At first, I was just testing out my technique on her without overstepping the possible boundaries. But, now that she is alive and will recover from that attack, I was thinking that we could get some very interesting information out of her, regarding the Fallen Angels operating in Kuoh and what are their plans, regarding this town and its people."

Sona rubbed her chin, thinking over all of this and Alex`s plans to interrogate this Fallen Angel. It was true that there were quite a few groups of them spotted lately, along with stray exorcists conspiring with them. And Alex was proposing that they question this Fallen Angel and find out of what they were planning to do. Unlike Rias, Sona didn`t like taking unnecessary risks and deal with problems as quickly and efficiently as possible. And now was the golden opportunity to do so, all thinks to Alexander Black`s genius. Heiress of Sitri had to admit to herself: she always found guys who used their intellect to their fullest sexy. And Alex had both the mind and looks that screamed absolutely sexy to her.

'Rias, I swear, if you even try to have some "fun" with Alex, I`ll make you suffer for this.' Rias promised in her mind.

"If anything, I only approve of that." Sona said to Alex. "I`ll contact Rias and inform her and the rest of her Peerage that we`ve got ourselves a golden opportunity on taking down the Fallen Angels. Tsubasa, transport this Fallen Angel to the detention cell and watch over her. Tsubaki, open up portal for us."

"And what should I do?" Alex asked curiously, drawing Sona`s attention, who gave him a playful smirk.

"Oh, you just stay here and let us take care of the business. We can`t have you do all the job, now can we?" Sona said in, surprisingly, very flirtatious voice that would make even Akeno the honors. "Just relax for a bit and let the ladies deal with this little mess here."

Alex was at a loss of words there for a moment. It was honestly the first time he ever heard Sona talking in such a manner. And, he wouldn`t call himself a man, if he didn`t admit that she sounded absolutely sexy when she was talking like that. Flirting defiantly suited Sona quite nicely, especially considering that she was usually official and controlling. And, seeing this side of her… Black did admit to himself that he was looking at Sona as a girl and she was in his eyes absolutely stunning and gorgeous in all of his parameters. Now that voice and intent just cranked his level of affection towards Sona from 10 to 15 in a matter of a second. When he gets a break from all of his dealings and works, he might just ask Sona on a date. Perhaps, once this mess with Angels has been dealt with. As of now, how could he say no to this lady here?

"Well, who am I to say no to you?" Alex asked rhetorically.

Sona only smiled to that one and proceeded to make a contact with Rias. However, in her mind, she was practically celebrating a victory. She may not have the same assets as Rias or Akeno, or even Tsubaki, but, when it came down to those whom she liked, Sona was ready to fight tooth and nail for them. And for Alex she was ready to start up a war with Rias, because she was sure as hell that she was trying to get her hands in Alex`s pants. Well, she`ll have to get them away from him, because otherwise Sona will cut them out.

Once this whole mess with Fallen Angels is over, she`ll have a good time with Alex. Not in Rias` way, but in a romantic way. That was period.

Occult Research Club. 3 and half hours later.

Rias was known for having a long fuse and being able to take a lot of insults when they were about her. She knew how to be patient and how to wait for an opportune time to make a move, or how to deal with the trouble at hand. However, even she had a limit and some factors that really ticked her off. Such as her servants deciding to act on their own without confirming with her, or when she simply can`t control their actions at all and they suddenly start cooperating with her rivals. Those were just prime examples, but Alex, somehow, managed to do all of that at the same time and put Rias at a very interesting position. And what pissed her off the most was the fact that Alex couldn`t be controlled the same way as her other Pawn, Issei, who required literally minimal effort to control. Alex was a completely different beast, not charmed by her beauty and her seductive nature, retaining his independent nature and territorial principals, much to Rias` dismay.

Seriously, it seemed like all of his actions were directed to gain more and more independence for himself, as he was now working as freelance linguistic specialist for Serafall Leviathan and earning some good money, training on his own, developing his connection with Forsaken Regalia and his magical abilities with the help of Sona Sitri of all Devils. Rias actually didn`t want Alex to get this strong and independent so soon, hoping that in his more weaker state he would be easier to control. That`s why she wasn`t training Issei just yet. But, again, much to her own dismay, Alex was progressing without even Rias` help and his capture of Raynare is a clear indication that his powers are already starting to grow. If this were to continue unchecked, then he would be able to surpass her in terms of power in the matter of mere months.

However, now was not the time for her to deal with her Servant`s growth in power. Right now, she and members of her Peerage, along with Sona and Tsubaki, were discussing the situation regarding the Fallen Angels and the information that was revealed to them by a captured Raynare. Rias sighed and looked at Alex.

"Seriously, couldn`t you have called any of us? We would`ve handled this with no problem." Rias scolded Alex.

"If did, she would`ve noticed it and that would set her off." Alex countered. "And we would`ve not gained this information."

"He is right, you know." Akeno added to Rias. "I have to admit that it is pretty amazing that you`ve taken down a leader of these rough Fallen Angels with so little trouble."

"Yeah, I would`ve called the rest of the members of a club for that matter." Kiba admitted. "It was rather reckless of you to act independently."

"It was a calculated risk." Alex defended himself. "And I wouldn`t have done it if I knew that I couldn`t hold my own against her in a fight. Aside from that, I did set the conditions in my favor, so my chances of winning have increased."

"Senpai has won against her." Koneko stated simply, defending Alex. "He is pretty strong to fight against enemies."

"Yes, but still…" Rias was going to continue, until the white magical circle didn`t appear in the middle of the room and out of it appeared a young beautiful woman with silver hair and silver eyes, dressed in French style maid`s outfit.

Alex has checked this person`s level of power and almost chocked as he felt it. This woman`s power was beyond any he had felt before, easily dwarfing all of the powers in this room combined and Black felt that she was holding back an even bigger amount of it. She was defiantly someone of the Ultimate Class Devil, probably even at the same level as Four Great Satans. However, that was not what interested Alex in this woman the most. For some reason, this lady here… seemed very familiar for some reason. As if, he had known her, but he couldn`t quite put his mind to it. And, surprisingly enough, she even resembled his deseeded mother. He decided to ask his partner/mentor on who this woman was.

'Galeran, who is this lady? I`ve almost chocked on her power output.'

[That`s Grayfia Lucifuge, also known as the Strongest Queen and Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation.] Galeran introduced her to Alex. [It`s no wonder you almost chock on her power output. Grayfia is very well known for being one of the strongest Devils in the entire history, more powerful than even the original Four Satans and on par with current Four Satan Kings, being on the same level as Sirzechs Lucifer, who is her husband by the way. She may be serving as maid in House of Gremory and is being a loving wife and a mother, but this lady is easily one of the most powerful creatures in the world. In fact, she is feared even among most of the dragons for her powers. Only the Dragon Emperors have a chance against her, but even they wouldn`t try their luck against. Which is no wonder, considering the fact that she was one of those few who fought, survived and defeated my brother Albion when he and Ddraig got into their fight. If anything, this woman deserves highest respect even from dragons.]

'Well, good to know.' Alex admitted. 'But… Why do I get this strange feeling as if I`ve had met her before?'

[Hm… This is something that is unknown to me.] Galeran responded. [Just remember to… well, basically be your usual self with higher ups and not get us in trouble.]

"Lady Rias, Lady Sona, pardon my interruption of this meeting, but I came her with the results of the emergency meeting between the Four Satan Kings regarding the uncovered information about attack on Kuoh." Grayfia said right away.

As soon as Raynare has revealed the plans of her group and what were the targets, Alex recommended immediately sending this information to the higher ups, because, after studying the international relations for quite some time, he knew that if they were to get in the fight with those Fallen Angels who haven`t officially started attacking every devil around, then Devils would have to deal with Grigori and another war might break out. Rias objected to that, but Sona actually listened and relayed this info to her sister, who immediately called the emergency meeting to deal with this threat. That way the possibility of a new war breaking out was minimized.

"Of course." Rias responded. "Please tell us the decision made by them."

"As you wish. Four Satan Kings have contacted leaders of Grigori, Azazel, Baraquel and Shemhazai, confronting them about this incident. All three have denied their involvement in the actions and have agreed to let the Devils deal with this threat as we see fit." Grayfia informed everyone. "Sirzechs and the others have decided to dispatch a specialized strike force against this threat. They are dealing with this situation as we speak. Regarding the possessor of the Twilight Healing, former nun Asia Argento, it was decided to place her under your protection, Lady Rias, if it`s alright with you."

"Of course it is, Grayfia." Rias conformed, but Alex smelled something more in this one.

'I`ve got a feeling that she`ll simply use that girl and turn her into one of her own Servants. Still, I`ve got to admit that Satans and Grigori did react quite fast to this threat of war.' Alex admitted.

[It`s not surprising at all. Neither side wishes to escalate this cold war further than this.] Galeran informed. [But your suspicions regarding that nun might be true. Also, it seems like Kokabiel has finally decided to leave the Grigori for good. I wouldn`t be surprised if he was behind this rough group`s actions.]

'Is he one of the leaders of Grigori, like Azazel?'

[Yes, but, unlike other leaders, he was hell-bent on continuing the Great War. He didn`t care much for the results, so as he had the excuse to spread death, destruction and sorrow throughout the land. He is warmongering maniac who only cares for his own desires, but he is one of the few Fallen Angels with 10 wings, making him a force to be reckoned with, although he is the weakest of Grigori leadership branch.]

'Thanks for the info.'

"Also, there is a personal message from Satan Kings that I was tasked to deliver to the current holder of Forsaken Regalia." Grayfia informed everyone, turning her gaze to Alex. "I believe you are Alexander Black, current holder of Forsaken Regalia?"

"At your service, ma`am." Alex responded, bowing his head to a higher positioned Devil.

"Four Satan Kings would like to officially thank you for your effort in preventing the conflict from happening. As a reward for your actions you`ve been granted a personal apartment in the center of a town as your own personal residence, along with a substantial sum of money. You needn`t to worry about the expenses or bills, everything has been arranged so that you won`t have to pay anything." Grayfia informed Alex.

Black actually smiled to that one, as he now didn`t have to live with Issei and not trying to kill him all the time. Seems like helping prevent a war from breaking out was something worth getting your own apartment. Now he could have some privacy all for himself. And he actually wondered, just how much money did he get for this?

"Also," Grayfia wasn`t done yet. "Regarding the fate of Fallen Angel Raynare, which was found guilty of plotting a killing of an innocent mortal, attacking Issei Hyoudou and attempted murder of Alexander Black, the Grigori have decided to place her in servitude of Alex Black, as a punishment and a compensation for trouble she have caused to you and your friends."

'Well, I so didn`t see this one coming…'
