Chapter 25 - I'm afraid that's not possible

Simple outfit, black hair that reached her shoulders and violet eyes.

Leo looked at the man from head to toe. He couldn't remember someone like him in the original story, so most likely he was someone who didn't appear in the story and at a time like this, Leo could easily guess his identity.

Sona's fiance.

"So these two had the same idea ..." Leo thought to himself as he looked at Sona who, unlike before, was down and had a complex look on her face as she looked at the man.

"Hahaha Who would think that you of all people would come to look for your fiancee? Did you get bored of being in the Vassago clan?" Riser burst out laughing as he looked at Bane.

"Riser ... You're still as annoying as ever," Banet said indifferently.

"Hahaha" Riser laughed without responding as the flames appeared around him.

Bane looked coldly at Riser as unleashed his aura

"I didn't come here to fight you, Riser" Bane said as he looked at Sona.

"Tsk" Riser clicked his tongue in annoyance, his main objective was Rias and it was not time to fight with Bane. He had little time to convince Rias before the Maou's arrived.

Sona upon seeing this, looked at Bane as she sighed.

"Bane, you too?" Sona asked with a frown.

She had anticipated that Riser would appear, with his personality, she knew it was very likely that he would try to convince Rias to be part of his nobility but I never expect Bane that had the same intention as Riser.

Sincerely, although she was engaged to Bane, their interactions with him were minimal. Be it his tastes or his peerage, she knew nothing about him and whenever they met he had an aura of mystery surrounding him.

"Yes ... you don't need to be here Sona, like my wife, your place is to be with me," Bane said without emotion as he walked towards Sona and tried to grab her hand.

Before Bane could take Sona's hand, one hand grabbed his wrist.

"Bane right? you're going too far "Leo said while holding Bane's wrist. Turning, he looked at Riser and said: "You two, you should be more aware of your position and the fuss they are causing"

"Leo, no ..." Sona tried to persuade Leo but was quickly interrupted by Leo.

"It's okay. Besides, I don't think you can convince these two with words. "Leo whispered to Sona. He had already meddled fully in this conflict and did not intend to back down.

Before Sona could reply, Riser's murderous intent exploded throughout the place as he looked at Leo with a smile that wasn't a smile.

*Boom

At the same time, the magical energy surrounded Bane as he looked at Leo.

"Let go of me," Bane said indifferently as terrifying pressure filled the entire place.

"Clear. Just remember ... Sona is your fiancee, not your wife" Leo said as he unleashed his aura.

Auge!

Like a volcano that suddenly came into life, a terrifying pressure filled the entire place causing everyone to look at Leo with surprise, they would never have thought that the child who accompanied Sona was so strong.

Not only were the spectators, Sona also looked at Leo with surprise. She had been with Leo for a week and she knew from her sister that he was quite strong but never expected him to be at the level of a top-class devil.

"Hehe… who are you? Even if you are a slave of Sona, I will turn you into ashes if you don't take care of your words. "Riser said, and the flames began to surround his body and small pieces of these danced around him, this caused the temperature throughout the room to rise rapidly.

"* Sigh * you were wrong. I am no slave to anyone, I am a guest of the Sitri house and friend of Sona. My name is Tomika Leo, nice to meet you bird-kun" Leo smailed.

"Then slave-kun is just a servant of the Sitri house," Riser said. He was angry, Leo not only showed no respect for him but even called him a bird if it wasn't for him being in the residence where the ceremony would take place, he would have killed him the moment he opened his mouth.

"Even if you are a guest of the Sitri clan, this matter has nothing to do with you, so step aside," Bane said with annoyance.

"I'm afraid that's not possible," Leo shook his head.

"Then, I will have to force you slave-kun," Riser said as the flame around him danced violently.

At the same time, Bane looked coldly at Leo and his aura became more chaotic.

Given the pressure emanating from the three, the atmosphere before heavy, became even heavier which caused everyone in the room to shut up.

Over time, Riser began to get impatient, the ceremony would begin shortly and once this happened he would lose all the opportunities to get Rias and Akeno in their nobility.

Before Riser could launch his attack, Bane moved. Moving his hand, a violet magic circle appeared in his hand.

Leo did not sit still. Raising his arm, a black flame appeared in his palm and slowly expanded to form a bird half his size.

Sona looked at all this in horror. If the three started a fight at this time no one would come out unscathed.

Before Sona could stop the trio, the sound of the footsteps echoed throughout the place causing everyone to focus their attention on newcomers.

* Tap ... Tap ... Tap ...

Sirzechs and Serafall interrupted in the room accompanied by Grayfia who was dressed in her usual maid dress.

Seeing Sirzechs and Serafall, the three stopped their actions immediately.

"Looks like they're having a lot of fun," Sirzechs said as he watched the trio.

Looking at the trio, his gaze stopped on Leo, exactly the bird of fire that was next to him.

'Interesting ...' Sirzechs thought to himself. On the outside, it just looked like it was a normal firebird except for its black color. But if he concentrated, he could feel a terrifying amount of magic coming from that bird.

"You two have already received your evil pieces so why are you here?" Sirzechs asked as he looked at the duo.

"I am very sorry for the inconvenience Sirzechs-sama, I just wanted to see my fiancee. The fact that I can get her evil pieces is a special occasion and I wanted to support her personally but as I have already done my job, it is time for me to leave, "Bane said as he leaned down and left the room.

"Like Bane, I also came to see Rias and was about to leave" Riser followed Bane's example and bowed before leaving the room.

Neither Serafall nor Sirzechs tried to stop the duo, if they did, they could not guarantee that they would leave the place alive.

"Now, since everyone is gathered, we can start the ceremony," Sirzechs said and headed to the center of the room.

When he reached the center of the room, a magic circle appeared in his hand.

The circle shone brightly and a monument shaped like a piece of the king appeared in the middle of the hall.

"Once I called them they will come here to receive their pieces," Sirzechs said with a smiled.
