Chapter 210: Vow

Chapter 210: Vow

"I am not late, right?" Rias asked hurriedly.

"Rias, where have you been?"

Rias looked at her mother, who clearly reprimanded her, so she quickly apologized. "Sorry, I was lost." There was no doubt after her divorce from Riser, her mother had become more strict toward her, but she also understood how horrible her mother's mood was, especially with what had happened in their house.

"It's okay. Don't blame her too much since the ceremony has yet started." Lord Gremory quickly appeased his wife.

"If only..."

Venelana Gremory stared in the direction where Sona, Riser's family, and everyone related to Riser gathered together, full of excitement and happiness.

If her daughter wasn't so selfish, then—

However, she knew that there was nothing she could do, especially when she had acquitted the actions of her husband and her son. Everything had happened. She lost her son, and their family lost many things.

If there was something that she was glad for, the fallen angels upheld their promise by providing much support and all the things to help the Gremory House.

Still, as expected, even if the alliance of three factions had been made, there weren't many things that the Grigori could do since they were a fallen angel.

The fallen angel might be living in the Underworld, but their society was much different.

Moreover, Venelana would be lying if she didn't look down on the Grigori, especially when they showed many blunders and fragility. Instead of being an ally, she felt that the devil might as well conquer the fallen angels as they were too weak. However, she knew that their existence was still necessary, especially when their daughter's "Queen" was the daughter of the new leader of the Grigori and Azazel was the one who knew the most about the Sacred Gears.

Right now, they might be weak, but as long as the Boosted Gear could grow, then they wouldn't think of the Gremory House as a weakling anymore.

Zeoticus Gremory and Rias looked at their wife (mother), but they didn't say anything since, without Sirzech, their house was weak.

Still, as Rias saw the figure that entered the venue and the protagonist of this ceremony, she couldn't look away as her heart was filled with obsession as she smiled, thinking about what they had done previously.

"What's wrong, Rias?" Venelana noticed her daughter's smile.

"Nothing." Rias shook her head and thought that she had to keep this matter a secret, at least for now, but then, she couldn't help but think about her sister-in-law, who was still drowned in her sadness.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Watching the concern on Rias, Zeoticus and Venelana also sighed, thinking about their daughter-in-law before their attention was taken by the commotion before them. It seemed that Riser was nowhere to be seen, which caused everyone to be panicked.

However, Rias' expression was a little subtle.

Nevertheless, soon, everyone sighed in relief since Riser had arrived, and the organizer quickly welcomed him inside.

"Please, welcome Riser Phenex-sama."

When those words fell, it was impossible for Zeoticus, Venelana, Rias, and everyone in the Gremory domain who saw all of this to remain calm, but when all of them saw the young man who was about to become the next Lucifer, all of them remained silent.

Power is everything in the supernatural world.

Riser wasn't sure, but due to his fiery aura, like a blazing sun, his charm was enhanced.

Arigitaou system-san.

Still, Riser knew that he needed to start his speech.

"Future.

"For us, the devils, this might be an unfamiliar term, especially when our purpose of life is to fight against the angels and fallen angels, then die.

"For us, such a life is common sense and our way of life. If we are unlucky, then we will die the moment we fight. If we are lucky, then we will meet the next day as he continues to fight without knowing when we're going to die.

"For those of us who are accustomed to such a life, the word of the future is unfamiliar.

"Yet, now, the future exists for us.

"With the peace that exists among the three of us, the devils, the angels, and the fallen angels, a future exists for us.

"Many might not be able to accept such a future, especially when the price of that peace is to shake hands with the one that we have thought of as enemies.

"However, please remember that the future is not only for us but also for our future generations, whether it is our children or grandchildren.

"We can choose what we want to be, achieve the dream that we have been buried, and do something without being afraid of death tomorrow."

His words were like a spring breeze, and his existence was like a light.

Riser was blinding yet warm; whether they were his allies' enemies, none of them could take their eyes away from him.

"Yet such a future will crumble due to a new enemy known as the Khaos Brigade, the Old Satan faction, and those who hate our peace.

"By then, whether it is us, our children, or the future that has existed, will be gone due to the war and battle that we will have against them."

His tone might be plain, but it gave a shudder to anyone like a wind in the freezing winter.

"Yet, fear not, as Riser Lucifer, I... No, we, all the current government, will fight!We will protect you! And we will erase those threats and sink into the darkness of history forever.

"So, try to hide, run, and pray like the most pious believer so we don't find you, as we will kill all of you if you don't.

"That's my vow as Lucifer."

As Riser finished his speech, everyone clapped their hands hard as they welcomed the new Lucifer.

Only Riser wondered why it felt like he had to dominate the world now.

[Let's work hard to dominate the world!]

"..."

Riser felt that his goal of living as a lazy pig was impossible to achieve now.
