Chapter 256: Glyph
As the two new devils stood before Aegis, he wondered what kind of line of thought brought them there, but ultimately, Aegis thought it was their curiosity, simple yet a dangerous thing...
Neo, Neopolitan, Viser and Krull were somewhere else, and Aegis could feel them where in the city they were but otherwise let them enjoy for themselves, there was no need for him to look too closely without reason, still the fact he felt an aura of death where Krull was made it clear she enjoyed some hunting...
Aegis angels with a new nun that seemed to misunderstand him as her God, stood behind Aegis, well, his angels stood, Asia knelt and seemed to pray to him, and how irritating it was to feel that little faith energy coming to him, but as irritating it was, Aegis didn't stop her for the same reason, because that girl's pure and innocent soul just made it hard for Aegis to be angry at her, of course, if needed Aegis would kill her, but there was no need for such drastic measure, and so, Aegis let the girl pray to him, Aegis silently wondered if Heaven will notice a loss of one of their most devout's sheep's...
Still, Aegis silently filtered the girl's faith and sent it back to his angel's, at least like this Aegis used that problematic power in some meaningful way and strengthened his angel's at the same time, strange was that no matter how much his angel's seemed to pray to him, Aegis did not feel the faith coming from them, maybe it was because they weren't mortal's?
"Schnee-san?"
"Hm? Oh im sorry, I had was momentarily lost in thought."
"We can come later if you want?"
"No, no, I can see how that need to know is gnawing at your mind, ask what you want, miss Shitori, or Sitri if you wish, after all, you are Rias friend."
Aegis said with a smile, as the girl seemed to adjust her glasses, strange fact for Aegis, he knew Devil's didn't have such mundane problems for the need to wear glasses, maybe they were enchanted to have other purposes?
"Very well, I wish to know what your intentions are, as im aware that Kuoh was picked to by our territory because of its insignificance, for someone of your stature to come there is unheard of, that is if you didn't come to there precisely because of me or Rias, for which I have right to ask."
Sona said as she sharply looked at the man sitting before her, even knowledge of Tsubaki standing behind her didn't calm Sona's nerves, the stupidity of her actions made itself clear the moment she saw the man in person, even if the man or being, somehow hid his or its power, Sona grew up in upper Devil society, and as such, she thought herself good to know someone being dangerous even without him or her showing their power...
"Hm, I did say I will answer your questions, just not how... But very well, as a sign of goodwill, I will tell you my reason for coming there was not my own, you can say im just an... Agent? Yes, let's go with that, im an Agent for someone, and you don't need to worry, my mission was already accomplished."
Aegis said with a smile as Sona's eyes narrowed in thought.
"Rias, your reason coming there was canceling Rias' engagement or outright taking her for yourself?"
Sona asked as this was sole know fact, Sona didn't know about this being doing anything other in her town, briefly, Sona's eyes traveled to the sole other human in the room, the girl who was introduced as Asia Argento and who was now seemingly content to just pray to the man before Sona, another reason Sona was dubious of calling the man a human as he himself introduced as, as just Gods were prayed to...
"No, Rias situation... If we can even call it as such, was completely different, and it was Rias who came to me, at the same time, it was Rias who gave herself to me, even if for a while."
"You don't plan to prolong her service to you?"
"Service? No, don't call it as such girl, and no, if after five years Rias would wish to leave me, she wouldn't be stopped."
"But?"
Sona asked as Aegis smiled at her, making Sona recoil, it was a strange smile.
"I think, no, I hope that after these five year's Rias would be mine, in spirit and mind."
"Not body?"
"Body... It is meaningless, at least for me, the pleasure of the flesh is enjoyable, and I do like it with my wives, but ultimately it is not something I seek or desire, as mine needs are more in an emotional and spiritual sense."
Aegis said with a smile, the face of his wives and women flashing in his mind, especially his other half Weiss, how he missed her cold touch...
Sona's eyebrow's rose, it was uncommon, no almost rare to see male, especially powerful one to not by lustful, Sona knew that the more powerful, the more powerful their desires were, and even with self-control if not satisfied, it could hurt them, as such, Sona would by doubtful if not for sincerity she heard in the man's voice and the voice that told her that the man who sat before her had no need to lie...
"I see... And this master of yours, or contractor... To who you serve as Agent?"
Sona asked as she tried to lead the conversation back to the topic.
"Hmmm, that is more complicated, let's just say that everyone knows her, or more precisely IT, but there is no need for you to know more."
Aegis said with a tilt of head and smile that made Sona frown as she thought.
"Is there no way for you to answer my question without beating around the bush?"
"Hmm no, or at least I don't see reason, so you can give me one."
Aegis said, and Sona's eyebrow twitched.
"I see... Give you one hm... A bet."
"Bet?"
"Yes, a bet, if I win, you will tell me."
"And if I win?"
Sona wanted to say he wouldn't but stopped herself.
"Then you can ask me the same important question."
"I see... Well, im not very competitive, but I do lose just against my family, how could I not when they look at you with such eyes... Good, in which we will compete?"
Tsubaki looked in worry as her king pulled out her personal chess board from her bag...
"In the game of Chess."
"You devils and Chess..."
Aegis shook his head as he nodded at Sona that he would gladly play.
The next hour was like an eternity for Sona and Tsubaki, Tsubaki who worriedly and pityingly looked at her king and Sona who almost sweet as she tried to find a way from her predicament into which she got herself.
But ultimately, just one voice was then heard...
"Checkmate."
Aegis said with a smile, and his eyes curiously traveled to Sona, who seemed as if she lost her life, strange to be so sad just because she lost the game, or was there something else in play?
--------------------------
"RIIIAAAA-TTAAAAANNNN!!!!"
"Argh! On-onii-samaa!"
Rias grumbled out as she tried to fish herself out of Sirzech's iron grip, Sirzech mute to her pleas or tries to leave as he hugged her fiercely with a dopey grin on his face.
"Sirzech-sama, I think that's enough."
Grayfia said as she tried to pull them apart, earning Rias thanks as Rias hid behind Grayfia who blocked another Sirzech tried to hug her.
"Mou! Ria-tan hug your oni-sama more!"
"Mou! No! It is always like this oni-sama! Calm down!"
"Mou!"
"Mou!"
"Ara, truly siblings, that speech tick is strong on in your blood."
Akeno said with a smile.
"Heya Akeno-tan!"
Sirzech said.
"Good day Sirzech-sama."
Akeno greeted Sirzech back with a bow.
"And little kitten is there too! And hellou boya!"
"Greetings Satan-sama."
Kiba said with a bow and polite smile as Koneto just nodded her head.
After that, it calmed down, at least little as they spoke, but ultimately the reason for their visit came out.
"Rias."
Rias immediately knew what was coming.
"Yes oni-sama?"
"What happened, and don't play with your big brother, you know what im speaking about."
"I-"
After that, Rias spilled beans, how weak she felt, how ostracized, how powerless she was, with each word Sirzech face scrunched up, but it was not before she started speaking about Aegis this Sirzech face frowned into anger and concern, even Grayfia showed concern on her normally strictly set face.
"You what!"
"I sold herself for five years and I. DO. NOT. REGRET. IT! You did nothing! Father was too happy with his deal! And I was to pay the price! No! You always promised your help! But when the arranged marriage came, you did nothing! Yes! You helped me find my peerage, my dear friends and members of family and im thankful for that! But you had done nothing when father dwarfed any of my attempts to find good instructors for them!"
Rias said with tears as another argument was coming close until a blue glyph was revealed in the room, making all alert as Aegis came through it.
"It seems... That someone made mine... Girlfriend? Yes, let's go with that, cry..."
Aegis said as Rias's eyes opened wide and instinctively threw herself into Aegis embrace...
At that moment, Aegis was glad that he copied the Devil's use of teleportation crest's for his Glyphs, and after a while from the glyph, other people came through, Aegis angels, Asia, and the dead-eyed looking Sona and troubled looking Tsubaki...
