Chapter 33: My wedding

Chapter 33: My wedding

In the luxurious hall with beautiful decorations, everyone sat in their place.

All of them were staring at the figure of the man who stood in front of everyone as he was looking in the direction of the door entrance.

Yet, whenever someone saw this man, they couldn't help but sigh since his change was too big!

Riser was quite famous in the Rating Game, especially when he had achieved many victories. He might have had two defeats, but all of them were done deliberately because his opponents were the allies of the Phenex House.

In other words, he gave them a chance.

Still, Riser didn't care about them and waited for his wife-to-be. Though at the same time, he felt like he was married in the church, which made him feel strange. After all, he was a devil, so why was his marriage not much different from human culture?

Or was it because a devil was born due to Christianity, so the culture of the devil was affected by this religion?

Nevertheless, when he waited for Sona, he noticed several familiar figures sitting among the guests. The one that attracted his attention the most was, without a doubt, Sirzech, Lord Gremory, and Rias Gremory since their crimson-colored hair was something that was impossible to ignore.

His glance might be discreet, but it was noticed, especially by Rias and Grayfia, who was a woman.

Unlike a male, a female was sensitive toward a gaze, so they noticed him.

Rias showed a gentle smile as if what had happened previously was just a dream.

Meanwhile, Grayfia politely gave a gentle nod.

Yet, Riser ignored the two of them and waited for Sona.

Rias only smiled and didn't care about his attitude since she definitely wouldn't give up.

However, Grayfia sighed since she knew that she had made a bad impression on Riser. During his previous engagement, Sirzech told him that she was the one who let Issei enter, caused a mess, and tarnished his pride as a high-class pure-blood devil.

If he could forgive her so simply, then he was simply a good guy.

Yet, Grayfia also knew Riser didn't have a choice but to forgive her, her husband, and her family since they were the family of Sirzech Lucifer, the strongest devil in the Underworld. Even if her husband was selfish and often caused trouble, no one would fight him directly, yet inwardly?

Grayfia thought that she might need to apologize to Riser since, with the combination of Riser and Sona, the house of Sitri and Phenex would be together.

In other words, the might of two families would increase even more, especially in politics.

While Riser might not trouble Sirzech, he might trouble her son, and as Sirzech's wife, Grayfia knew, it was her duty to clean up her husband's mess. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

Riser didn't know what Grayfia was thinking, or rather, while it might appear he didn't feel good about Grayfia because of Sirzech, who put the blame for letting Issei enter the engagement to her, he didn't want Sirzech to see that he put much attention to his family.

Due to that divorce, it was impossible for their family to appear as warm and good as before.

While they might not have said anything in public and kept each other's faces since his family was the sole producer of the Phenex Tears, who knew what was hidden inside, right?

Riser believed in evilness, and as long as it was related to love, wealth, and revenge, one would dare to do anything.

In the worst case, in the future, he might see his family made into cattle to produce the Phenex Tears.

"Father?"

Still, Sona was surprised when she saw his father crying.

"I am sorry. I thought that I would never see my grandchild in life."

"..." Sona.

"Come on. Your husband is waiting for you."

Lord Sitri was happy with his youngest daughter's wedding.

"Yes."

The two walked toward Riser under the gaze of everyone.

All of them had a smile on their faces since no matter whose factions they were, this marriage was politically correct and should be an example for all the young generations.

Yet, for Riser, he didn't care about all of those, and his eyes were only on Sona. It wasn't until Sona and her father came so close that he regained consciousness.

"Take care of her."

"I will, Father."

Riser nodded solemnly.

Lord Sitri nodded, satisfied, then left Sona in his care from now on.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Sona asked shyly.

"It's your fault for being too beautiful."

Sona giggled and hugged his arm intimately.

As the two stood among all the present, they talked quietly, waiting and listening to the priest-like figure who led the ceremony. Once again, he was speechless, but once again, maybe due to the devil being born from Christianity that most of the culture of the devil was affected by this religion, including this priest-like figure.

Then, it was time for them to say their vows.

"I, Riser Phenex, take you, Sona Sitri, to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life."

Riser would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous since he had just wed someone that he only knew for a while, but he had determined to take her as his wife, so he said that vow firmly.

Sona's eyes were wet, but even so, she also didn't hesitate since she knew she had fallen for him.

"I, Sona Sitri, take you, Riser Phenex, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life."

The two finished their vows and then faced each other before they kissed to symbolize love and commitment to their marriage.

When Riser and Sona kissed, all of them stood up and clapped their hands loudly, feeling happy and moved about their wedding.

Nevertheless, not all of them were happy, but there was nothing they could do except stare at the two figures in the distance with tears running down their cheeks.
