Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 209: Be responsible

Chapter 209: Be responsible

Riser and Rias stared at each other, and neither said anything.

Nevertheless, as their gazes met, a burst of memory seemed to gush out from their brain as they recalled many things from how he divorced her previously until they kissed each other at Sirzech's funeral that day.

However, now, they met each other again, but this time, this meeting made Rias feel complex as the man who had divorced her and made her obsessed would take the position of her deceased older brother.

Riser Phenex, her former fiance, would become Maou Lucifer from today on.

There were many feelings mixed within her heart as she could hardly accept this since the position of Lucifer had always been held by her older brother, yet now, it was taken by her former fiance.

Somehow, it felt like a joke.

The whole world seemed to love to play with her.

Yet, at the same time, she also didn't have much hatred as she knew this was the best, especially when her house didn't have the power to retain the position of Lucifer taken from them.

Meanwhile, Riser also felt quite emotional as he thought about his journey.

Rias was the first woman that he saw.

She was beautiful.

There was no doubt about it, and she was also the one who made the previous Riser Phenex to be obsessed.

Yet, he divorced her and rejected her.

However, the more he tried to reject her, the more they seemed to be intertwined and closer than he had thought. Frankly, he wasn't sure what was on Rias' head, especially when she saw her former fiancee, the one who had divorced her in front of everyone, take the position of Lucifer, the position which was supposed to be owned by her dead older brother.

To be honest, Riser had prepared for her to hate him.

Yet, he couldn't see such hatred in her eyes.

However, he also didn't feel surprised.

A girl's mind was like an eternal riddle.

It was impossible to guess what they were thinking as their heads worked differently from him.

"I wonder why we often meet each other like this."

"I wonder, too. Is it fate?" Rias answered with a chuckle.

Riser didn't chuckle when he heard Rias' answer. Instead, he asked, "Do you hate me?"

Rias stopped her chuckle as she stared into his eyes.His eyes were full of sincerity, asking her what she felt toward him. Her eyes trembled, and her heart shivered, yet she approached him.

"...you're horrible."

As she stood close to him, she said those words.

No doubt this guy was the worst of the worst.

What did he want to know after he asked her that question?

Did he wish for her to leave?

Curse him?

Or even telling him to die for this revenge?

"Isn't it a bit too late for you to realize that? Or rather, shouldn't you know it already? Especially after you asked me to have a "Rating Game" or let that perverted dragon have a duel against me."

"...you still have a grudge over that?" Rias was speechless and wanted to hide her body in a hole when Riser reminded her of all of that. If it was in the original, she might not feel anything, but now, it was different, and she felt her face was reddened like her crimson-colored hair. Her face was so hot due to her embarrassment, wondering why she did all of that.

Right now, she felt an endless regret as she knew that even though they were so close, they were so far away.

Rias stretched her hand and gently caressed his face, who was staring at her with a relaxed expression. She wondered whether something would change or be different if they married each other, but now, such a change was impossible to happen.

No, it was possible.

However, what would her dead older brother and her family think if they knew she had fallen for this horrible man?

"Your brother is going to be sad, you know?"

"It should be okay. He will understand me."

Riser looked at Rias, who approached him, wishing to kiss him again.

Watching how horny this young woman was, he knew that it was really impossible to tell what was on the head of a woman. He had just taken the position of Lucifer, yet Rias was eager to kiss him.

Yet, why should he reject her?

The two entered a private bathroom nearby and started to smooch each other's lips.

Hot. Hot. Hot.

Rias felt that his body was hot, and it burnt her body. Yet, this felt nice, and she enjoyed it so much that she didn't want to stop. Instead, she wished for this to continue for an eternity as it made her forget about everything.

The responsibility she needed to bear as the heiress of the Gremory House, the death of her older brother, taking care of all of the complicated things after her family lost her older brother...

There were so many things that she needed to face that it was too hard for a young woman like her to bear.

So, at this moment, she just wanted to indulge in this forbidden pleasure with him.

Nevertheless, Riser didn't reject her and accepted her as he felt responsible. He knew that he was the one who had caused her misery, and it was also due to this he was going to take care of her and her sister-in-law like a responsible man.

Parting their lips, licking each other's tongues as they lewdly exchanged their saliva, falling deeper and deeper into a sea of pleasure until their breath separated them.

Rias hugged him tightly as she rested her forehead on his chest.

"Riser."

"Hmm?"

"Don't leave me, okay?"

"Is that what you're supposed to say to a married man like me?"

Rias looked at him with a grudge, then complained, "Then, are you not going to take responsibility for me after you had taken my first kiss?"

"How long have you held such a grudge? Were you the one who took the initiative?"

"You bastard!"

They argued with each other before the mood just made them kiss each other again.

"It's impossible for you to be my first, but in case you need a chest to lean on..."

Riser gently caressed Rias' beautiful crimson hair and softly said, "You can come to me."

Rias buried her face against his chest and hugged him tightly. She knew this guy was horrible, but she loved him so much that she stuck to him like a magnet, completely unwilling to be inseparable.

"I love you."

Riser didn't answer her confession and just kissed her again, but Rias didn't mind since as long as she could be with him, this was enough.

At the Gremory Castle, all of Rias' peerage members gathered.At this moment, all of them stared at the television screen as they watched the ceremony for Riser Phenex.

Unlike their master, with their position, they couldn't appear at the venue and could only watch the ceremony from the television, but no one said anything as they watched this ceremony solemnly.

However, one person was quite dissatisfied as he was unable to be on the side of Rias.

Issei knew that there was no doubt Rias was sad after the death of her older brother, yet the world was cruel and just threw salt into her wound. He knew that she needed someone by her side, and he wished to be that person.

'Ddraig, I want to become stronger.'

'You'll partner, but I think you need to forget your revenge if you wish to have a comfortable life.'

If Riser was just a normal "Ultimate-Class Devil," then Ddraig might not say anything, but now it was different as Riser had become Lucifer.

If Issei didn't know his place, then he would have been disposed of already, as everyone needed to give Riser the respect that fit his position.

"..."

Issei clenched his fists tightly and thought that he needed to become stronger as he wished to become Buchou's power.
