Riser Phenex isn’t a villain

"You guys! How can you be so lazy!"

Ravel couldn't help but scold and looked at all of Riser's members' peerage dissatisfiedly since they woke up so late!

While the Underworld lacked the concept of a morning and a night, similar to a human, they woke up at a similar time to a morning on Earth and slept at a similar time to a night on Earth. Moreover, the concept of morning and night became more distinct, with many reincarnated devils who were previously human.

Similarly, all Riser's peerage members woke up late in the afternoon like how people on Earth spent their holiday lazily.

Yet, being scolded by Ravel, they couldn't say anything and could only lower their heads.

"Onii-sama has woken up so early! But you guys are still sleeping like a pig! Is this how you act as his servants?!"

"We're sorry!"

What could they say?

They could only apologize.

Yet, they knew that they were also at fault since last night... last night was just so fantastic! While they were scolded, their eyes kept glancing at Riser, who was reading a book while eating a sandwich with one hand with longing and flush. It might not be their first time having sex with him, yet last night was different.

While his stamina was as good as ever, his technique was so much different... it was so otherworldly! It was something that they had never expected from him since, while he was a genius, a lack of experience, the unwillingness to learn, and blind confidence was something inevitable.

Yet, that last night was different since the pleasure they felt was just too paramount. They felt their brains melt, their bodies became boneless, and they became mindless animals that only sought after him.

Even now, their bodies were tingling, and the sensation from last night was impossible to erase.

His every being was engraved and even marked deep into their souls.

Probably, they might not be able to escape from him, but they didn't really mind since they didn't want to either.

"Ravel, that's enough. You shouldn't blame them too much."

"But Onii-sama..."

Ravel was aggrieved since she only wanted to teach Riser's peerage members not to forget about their identity as his servants, yet why did she feel like she was the bad guy?

"I know that you want the best for me, but they helped me with something last night. I am sure something like this won't happen again next time, right?"

"Yes!"

All of them answered at the same time since the better Ravel's mood recovered, the better for them.

While being patted by Riser, Ravel felt better, but inwardly, she rolled her eyes.

Helping?

Well, they helped him, but somehow she felt a certain resentment and jealousy toward all of them somehow. However, she could think about that later since she had to say it felt great when she was patted by her older brother.

"...."

Was it his imagination, but his little sister's eyes seemed a little strange?

He decided to erase this strange thought since this should be normal since the relationship between the original Riser and Ravel wasn't bad.

"Come on. Hurry up and eat. There is something that I want to say to all of you later."

"Yes."

They hurriedly ate since they were so hungry at that moment. Still, even if they were hungry, they still maintained a certain etiquette, though they had to say they anticipated what he would tell them later.

Was he going to do it again?

Ah... once again, their bodies were tingling with lust.

Ravel frowned and moved even closer to Riser.

"..." Riser.

---

When everyone had finished their food, he brought all of them to his study room.

While they felt slightly disappointed since he didn't intend to do anything, they didn't change their expression and waited for him to talk.

"Okay, I am sure that you are curious about what I am going to say, but I want to tell you that I plan to teach you magic."

"Magic?"

"I am sure that you have seen my last battle with Sekiryuutei. What do you think?"

What did they think?

It was awesome!

While Riser was powerful and even known as a genius, they never expected him to be so strong!

"Riser-sama, your blue fire is cool!"

"Yes, it is so hot that it can burn anything!"

"I like that mirage better!"

Many had various thoughts about his fight with Sekiryuutei.

However, while many were amazed by his blue flame, his ability to create many clones to fool the Sekiyuutei was something they liked the most.

"It's good that you like it, so I will do my best to teach you."

"—eh?!"

All of them were dumbfounded and tongue-tied, unable to say a single word.

"What? You don't want to?"

"We want to!"

They hurriedly said.

"But is that okay, Onii-sama?"

"Yes, Riser-sama, is it okay for you to teach us?"

Frankly, after that battle, many of the members of the Phenex House and the other devils knew that the best fire users in this world were him, and they all wished him to teach them, but they refrained from doing so since they knew it was impossible for him to teach them since magic was a secretive thing like an heirloom that could only be taught for his family.

"Why not? You are all members of my peerage. I have thought of you as my family, so isn't it natural for me to wish for you to become stronger? And I want to change how we fight from now on. While an injury or sacrificing some people in the Rating Game might be inevitable, I don't want that to happen to us. You all have to care for each other, and when you can help others, then do it."

Riser could see the surprised expression on their faces, but how could they be blamed?

The difference between him and the original Riser was too huge!

The original Riser was like any high-class pure-blood devil, and he was looking down on anyone, including his peerage members, who were reincarnated devils. In his eyes, they were his bitch, though he treated them better than the majority since they were also his women.

However, he was different since he thought of them as his family now.

As he had become Riser, he knew that instead of his real family, the one that was closest to him was his peerage members since they couldn't betray him.

Everyone could see that he had changed, and this change... wasn't bad at all.

"There will be a lot of changes from now on, including how I will act with all of you. It might be strange at first, but I wish to change, so will you follow me?"

"Yes, Riser-sama!"

They were all in synch, and there was no doubt in their voices.

Even if he was going to go to heaven, they were going to follow him without hesitation.

"Still, if you like humiliation play, I can do it too, but wait until tonight, okay, Isabela?"

"Riser-sama!"

His "Rook,"  a voluptuous woman with short, light brown hair, grey eyes, and a plain white mask that covered part of the right side of her face, blushed and raised her voice.

They all chuckled, and some looked at her with a perverted smile. Still, a minority of them were glad that he hadn't changed since, like Isabella, they also liked being humiliated by him.

"..." Riser.

Neverthless...

"Onii-sama, what is humiliation play?" Ravel asked.

"...." Everyone.

"There is still a lot of time, and I will teach you two magics. I want all of you to master these two magics before anything else."

"Yes!"

All of them followed him and ignored Ravel's question.

Only Ravel puffed her cheeks and showed her annoyance by lightly hitting his chest since she felt she was being left out!

Yet, he was also helpless since how could he even explain the answer?

Nevertheless, his peerage members were going to change from now on.

Ahem, as expected, I will probably update this novel with two chapters every day, but sometimes, if I don't feel good, don't blame me for only updating one chapter, okay?

This isn't my only novel, after all.

I will also update the novel before 11 PM GMT+7.

Oh, right; for those of you who don't know, there are 20 advanced chapters on my P@ tre0n.
