Riser Phenex isn’t a villain

"I am sorry for my older sister."

Sona apologized after she saw the video that was taken by Riser.

Riser didn't uphold his promise and showed the video of Serafall, which was taken by him previously to Sona.

What about his previous promise with Serafall?

He didn't care at all since wasn't a promise supposed to be broken?

Watching Sona, whose expression was flustered and extremely sorry about her older sister, who had caused a lot of trouble to Riser, Riser wished to bully her more. He was also proud of his cunning nature since, using this video, he could make Sona feel guilty and use this chance to make her fall even deeper or make her do something for him.

[Not bad at all]

"...."

Riser decided to ignore the system.

After that day, Riser rested for a day before he visited Sona and helped with the marriage preparation, so along the way, he also showed the video he had taken before.

Sona knew who knew about Serafall's personality, but even though she had reminded her, Serafall still did something outrageous.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay. I have a lot of Phenex Tears."

"Onee-chan..."

Sona's expression was gloomy since his words implied that he was beaten by Serafall, even though the reality was the other way around.

"I need to talk with her!"

"No, it's okay. I know that your older sister is just worried about you, especially when she is about to marry a good-for-nothing like me."

Riser's voice was soft and filled with self-deprecation, showing how he understood what kind of scumbag he was.

"No, you are not good for nothing! You are my husband! You are the best man out there!"

Sona refuted him without hesitation since she thought that her husband-to-be was really the best!

There was no way for Riser to be good for nothing!

Her first impression of him might not be good, but the more she knew him, the more he realized what kind of man he was.

While it might be embarrassing, she knew that she didn't hate this marriage, or rather she was looking forward to spending her days with him. She knew she had fallen for him, but with her little awkward personality, it was hard for her to admit it.

"Thank you. Those words mean a lot to me."

He gently held the side of her profile and caressed her

"No, I am the one who is lucky to have you."

Sona felt that she was fortunate and thought Rias was stupid.

However, Riser looked at his wife-to-be and thought that she was so cute.

"But don't blame your older sister. She is your family, and I understand she is worried about you."

"Riser..."

Sona couldn't look away from him.

Riser, who saw this gaze, wasn't sure where his courage came from, but he moved slowly and decided to kiss her.

"—?!"

Sona was startled since she didn't expect such a sudden intimate action, but she didn't move away and let him take her lips away.

'Oh?'

It was her first kiss, and she had never thought that it would taste like this. Unfortunately, she couldn't be his first, but she knew she would be his last, yet the sweet and lovely kiss on her impression changed, and it suddenly became a blazing hot kiss that ravaged her lips and the inside of her mouth.

Due to the pleasure of their kiss, her consciousness was hazy, and she hugged him tightly since she was a bit afraid yet quite eager for this new knowledge.

Riser also moved his hands, rubbing her body from her beautiful back, cute butts, then her long, slender thighs, feeling addicted to touching them.

Then, when she was about to lose her breath, he parted their lips, and they were in a daze, reminiscing about the feelings of their first kiss.

The two of them were in silence as they stared at each other.

Riser was a bit embarrassed and apologized. "...I am sorry. You are so cute that I can't help it." His words were sincere, telling her that he was wrong for being unable to hold his desire to kiss her. However, he had to say her appearance was charming, especially when her face flushed red, and her glasses slid down on her pointy, small nose.

"N-No, it's okay... I-I didn't hate it... and..." Sona's face was so red, showing how embarrassed she was. "...it-it feels good." Then, she pushed the frame of her glasses, trying to regain her composure, but it was impossible since her heart was beating so fast.

"....."

Riser blinked his eyes, then asked, "Can I kiss you again?"

"?!"

Sona was startled; her eyes moved right and left, playing with her fingers, before she looked at him shyly and nodded.

"...um."

Riser became a beast that day.

---

In Kuoh Town, Rias was staring at the letter invitation in her hand. After that day, her mood was far from good, and she hadn't gone to school, but it didn't matter. Education in the human world was easy for her, and even if she didn't go to school all the time, no one dared to say anything since she was the ruler of this town.

However, what she didn't know about her absence caused all the students at the Kuoh Academy to feel depressed.

Moreover, not only Rias was absent, but Sona, who was the president council, was also absent, but unlike Rias, her reason for being absent was understandable.

Nevertheless, all the students at the Kuoh Academy have been in a state of depression since the loss of two Madonnas, who were like the sun, illuminating them during their tough study time.

"Are you going?"

Akeno Himejima looked at her master, who had been in a daze inside her room all the time. Rias had been holed up after being divorced by Riser, and she had always been in a strange state. Also, she didn't let anyone except Akeno meet her, causing all the members of her peerage to feel worried, especially Issei.

However, Issei was stupid, and he didn't understand the reason why Rias was in that weird state since shouldn't she feel happy after not being engaged with Riser? Still, with his limited brain, it was impossible for him to think about the answer, and he could only think the reason why Rias was in that state was that she was in disbelief since Sona was about to marry Riser.

Though, Issei, once again, felt jealous and depressed since Riser was too lucky, right?

Everyone had gotten used to Issei's antic and perverted nature, so they didn't say much.

However, Rias didn't care about those things, and she also didn't really want to meet Issei since she was afraid if she saw him, she would start to hate him.

Still hearing Akeno's question, Rias snorted and then nodded. "Of course, I am going."

Why shouldn't she come?

If Sona had invited her to her marriage, why shouldn't Rias come?

Did Rias have something to be embarrassed about?

Her prideful nature didn't allow her to cower away from this invitation!

However, Akeno, who saw her master, could only sigh since she knew that it was impossible for her to stop Rias, who had made her decision. Still, she wondered whether Rias was a masochist for coming to the marriage of her ex-fiance and her best friend.

Or did Rias have a cuckold fetish?

Or was Rias like her, who had a fetish for having a relationship with a man who had a relationship?

Either way, Akeno had gotten used to Rias's whim since she had been with her for so long. It was also because of this that she knew how helpless she was, especially during their previous endeavor. Rias aside, she knew that they were lucky that Riser didn't have a grudge toward them.

Frankly, even if Riser raped her, no one would help her, and they would help him to hide this matter since the difference in their class was too high.

Even if Akeno was the Queen of Rias's peerage members, in the end, she was nothing but a low-class devil.

Akeno knew that she was overthinking, especially when Riser didn't seem to have an interest in her, but after the defeat of Issei, it was as if she had woken up and realized the depth of the devil society.

Akeno hoped that Rias didn't mess around and just quietly accepted everything, yet was it possible?

"Akeno, let's go! Let's get the best dress! I want to appear as the most beautiful woman in their marriage!"

Rias definitely didn't have good intentions since doing that meant she challenged the heroine on that wedding day, Sona.

Akeno's lips trembled, and she looked at Rias in disbelief.

"I-I don't have to go to the wedding, right?"

Rias shook her head and explained, "No, you have to go since you are my "Queen." If you are not present, then everyone will look down on me, thinking that my peerage members are weak."

As for the others, she didn't bring them since she wasn't stupid enough to bring them, considering such an act might be misunderstood as a provocation, or rather, even if she wanted to bring them, she might be stopped by her parents who became so strict with her after that day.

'Everything is because of him...'

When Rias thought about what he had done to her and what Sona said to her that day, she became emotional.

'There is no way that I will let them have a happy marriage!'

"....."

Akeno wanted to say something, but she couldn't. In the end, she could only agree, and hopefully, nothing would happen.
