Looking at her [Queen] out of the corner of her eye, Rias showed a resolute mask, which hid her nervousness and discomfort.

"I don't have any choice anymore. It's the only way to think."

"I know that by orchestrating their death at the hands of the Fallen, they will give you their loyalty and trust after you reincarnate them. However, if they discover the truth that you abandoned them to die? Why don't you choose another path ?With less risk than that?

"There is another way to recruit them, of course. But...they won't give me their trust and loyalty right away. To build trust between us, as Master and Servant, we need time. And time is what we lack... " Rias paused for a moment. Her mask slipped and uneasiness could be seen in her navy blue eyes. It will be a problem in the future. I just hope that my care and affection for them can somehow lessen the impact... I don't need to worry about that. After all, my family is known for their affection for the servant. They even accepted the truth to be revealed. I'm sure of it! "

Akeno cast a dubious look at Rias. She wasn't sure how she [king] was. As Rias' queen and her best friend, Akeno knew how affectionate the House of Gremory was towards the family member. They thought the servant of the House of Gremory was her own family. After years of being on Rias' side, she knew the heiress to the House of Gremory really cared about her entire class.

Rias didn't care, even if all her peers had their own problem and emotional baggage, she would take care of them all unconditionally. However, in that split second, Akeno couldn't help but feel an uneasy feeling in the back of her mind. Her intuition told her that something far from Rias's hope would happen.

After a short moment of reflection, Akeno decided it was just her nervousness. She decided to ignore her intuition.

"If you are so sure, then I, as your [queen], will support you to the end."

"Thank you Akeno."

Rias gave her [queen] and best friend a grateful smile. She really needed support at this crucial moment.

Suddenly, Rias' eyes widened, as if she were in a trance. Seconds later, she snapped out of her stunned state and an excited smile bloomed on her face.

"They accepted the pamphlet my family member delivered!"

Rias said this with a smile. Her smile made her confident, telling her that her plan would work.

"So…it finally started?"

"Yes. What we need to do now is wait until the Fallen Angel kills them and they summon us." Leaning in the comfortable chair, a sigh escaped Rias's lips.

Beside her, Akeno's amethyst eyes regarded Rias with complex feelings.

At that time, Akeno expected everything to work out, just as she [King] expected…

Only what they didn't realize was that a ladybug watched everything.

*With Sona.*

Sitting in a luxurious chair, Sona Sitri was reading a certain document. Although the room was dimly lit, she read the newspaper without difficulty, showing exceptional - inhumane vision. After a brief moment, she placed the document on the table beside another document. Then she let out a dissatisfied sigh.

"Kaichou? Is something bothering you?"

Sona turned her attention to the speaker. It was his second-in-command: Tsubaki Shinra.

"Nothing…"

When Sona said this, Tsubaki was silent. However, her heterochromatic eyes said otherwise. Facing her [queen's] pleading gaze, Sona's facade faltered. After a tense silence, Sona relented.

"It was just that I really wanted Gilgamesh as my servant. He has more potential than Saji Genshirou."

Tsubaki nodded silently, acknowledging [King]'s words.

"What do you think, Tsubaki?"

After another silence, Tsubaki said, "To be honest, I agree with your words."

"Care to elaborate?" Saying that, Sona's eyebrow rose. She looked at her [queen] expectantly.

"Gilgamesh has never been against school rules. He also has good grades and his presence is always 100%. In addition, he is clearly exuding a stronger Magic Presence than Genshirou. From our observation, he has never had contact with the supernatural and can -if to say he doesn't know he's leaking a magical aura, obviously. He has more promises than Genshirou and Hyoudou by a far margin, I think"

Sona gave a nod of acknowledgment. Just as Tsubaki had declared. Gilgamesh clearly had more potential than Saji Genshirou or Issei Hyoudou. In fact, Sona wanted Gilgamesh to join his peers in this new school year.

"Unfortunately, I told Rias, she might try to recruit you. I know I shouldn't regret it. However, right now, I can't say otherwise."

Sona let out a resigned sigh.

Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory were childhood friends and rivals. They had known each other since they were small due to the close relationship between the House of Gremory and the House of Sitri after the Devil's Civil War. They were always trying to be better than each other and promised each other that they would fight a fair game to find out who was better.

"What are you going to do?"

Sona pinched the bridge of her nose. She thought about Tsubaki's question.

What was she going to do?

Sona couldn't act against her word. Pride of her would forbid her. As a peer of nobility, they must maintain their face and prestige. She wasn't Rias Gremory, who was spoiled by her parents and older brother. Although she was also spoiled by her parents and older sister, she knew of her responsibility as heir to Prince Sitri's name and legacy.

Remembering her responsibility, Sona hid her grimace. She remembered her previous engagement. Fortunately, she had escaped.

Unlike Rias Gremory's fiance, her fiancé was an ancient relic from the forgotten era. He was more of an idiot than Riser Phenex. To tell the truth, Riser was better in Sona's eyes, at least if Rias married Riser, she would be the main wife, unlike her, who would be a mere consort and only her first child who would bear the name Sitri!

Riser was arrogant and womanizing, the later was an open secret. However, as a member of the nobility who fulfilled the marriage contract, Sona knew that Riser was still truly a virgin. It was the pride of House Phenex that kept Riser in casual sex before his marriage to Rias. In fact, the other family would do something similar to maintain their face and prestige. Although Riser looked like a loose character, he had never had sex before. Until now, Riser only had kisses with members of his peers.
