Chapter 303: Drown

Chapter 303: Drown

When Sona told her that Riser couldn't meet her, Rias was confused, and at the same time, she was helpless. Nevertheless, she didn't go back immediately since when she returned, she knew that she needed to take care of many things in her home.

At this point, there was no one that she could rely upon, and her mother was working hard to take care of their Gremory domain.

While her grandma and ancestor helped out, Rias knew that as the heiress, she needed to do something, yet when many things happened, it was overwhelming, and she wanted to have a little escape, ignoring everything and enjoying a moment of peace.

When she thought about this, she felt jealous and hated by her big sister-in-law, Grayfia Lucifage. She was jealous that with Grayfia's power, there was nothing that could stop her, and Grayfia could do whatever she wished without anyone stopping her, but at the same time, she also hated her since Grayfia wasn't there when the Gremory House was attacked by Tannin.

While Tannin's issue was resolved by Riser, the aftermath of the incident was so heavy that she wished that everything was just a dream.

Moreover, this incident also happened when he disappeared.

At that time, when she knew he disappeared, her world stopped, and everything was crumbling. By that time, she realized that she had fallen for him. Regret and despair were probably the biggest feelings she felt at that time as she just didn't know what to do since she knew that she couldn't meet him, but as the heiress of the Gremory and the urge of her mother, in the end, she could only grit her teeth and kept fighting, especially when her house was in crisis.

Still, when the crisis ended and Riser appeared once again, the dawn came to her.

It was something that she had been waiting for, so after she left the rest to her family, she decided to visit Riser with Koneko and Akeno. Her family and the others didn't stop her since Riser's support was needed for their family.

Unfortunately, Rias couldn't meet Riser.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

While Akeno could enter due to her status as Riser's lover, and Koneko was also the same as she had a friendship with Ravel and also the little sister of Kuroka, Rias couldn't do the same.

Nevertheless, Rias decided to wait since Riser's city had always intrigued him. This place made her calm, and she just didn't need to worry about anything as this place gave her peace of mind.

Unfortunately, this peace was broken when she heard that he didn't want to meet her. It shocked her, and she couldn't even listen to Sona's words before she decided to wander around the city absentmindedly. While she could tell Sona's worry, she knew that there was nothing Sona could do since every decision was on her husband, Riser.

After Riser disappeared, Rias knew that the one who was devastated the most was Sona. At that time, she wished to stay by Sona's side, waiting for him, but when her home was on the verge of destruction, she could only grit her teeth and leave.

Yet, it was also because of this that she couldn't be the first person who greeted him.

The more she thought, the more she wondered whether she was worthy of him.

Rias also realized that Sona was more suitable to become his wife.

Sitting on the bench built near the lake, Rias stared at the lake absently. She wasn't sure why she did this, but she stood up and walked toward the lake, ignoring the water, and kept walking until the water reached her waist.

Even so, she didn't stop.

For a human, when they pass away, they would enter either hell or heaven, depending on their actions. However, if they have a good relative, they might put you into heaven to curry a favor and gain the friendship of your relative.

It was like how Issei's grandpa entered heaven because Issei was known as the strongest. Even if Issei's grandpa was as perverted as his grandson and even bothered the mothers of Issei's classmates, he was still able to enter heaven.

Yet, what about the devil?

When they die, where will they go?

Would they enter heaven? Hell?

Or would they enter an eternal darkness, a peaceful place where nothing could be seen?

Rias wasn't sure, but soon, the water drowned her head as she sunk into the lake.

"Rias!"

Rias wondered whether she was dreaming, but she saw the man that she had been waiting for coming toward him.

Was this a dream?

Was this a place after a death?

Rias didn't know, but she was happy as she saw how emotional he was. When he reached her, she stretched her hands toward him eagerly and kissed his lips deeply, ignoring the water that was about to drown her.
