Chapter 96 - Truth behind the help

While both the teams were forming their strategies and the others were waiting for the match begin.

Sona had a lot of thoughts going through her mind and she then looked at Tatsuya's team and asked, "Hey, mind if I ask you a question?"

His team looked at her and asked, "What?"

Sona then said, "Why did Tatsuya helped her? Because as far as I know he don't have a good opinion of Rias."

All the girls in Tatsuya's team looked at each other as if discussing something which they were actually doing with their telepathy.

Miyuki then looked at her and said, "We can tell you but you have to promise that you are not going to utter a word about this outside."

Sona who heard the serious tone of Miyuki also became serious and thought about the condition for a while before agreeing to it.

Miyuki the nodded her head and said, "You see, just like you said, Onii-sama doesn't have a good impression of the red head. He don't like people who are way to spoiled and don't even give a effort to solve their problems. The actual reason for what he did is that he was willing to help her peerage not her."

Sona became confused by her words and asked, "What does that mean? Can you explain it in simple terms?"

Miyuki then said, "What I mean to say is that Onii-sama does not care about whether that red head marries Riser-san or not. What he is worried about is, her peerage members getting dragged with her. You see is and Onii-sama have a good opinion about her peerage members. Kiba-san is Onii-sama's good friend, Koneko is obedient and hardworking even though she had gone through a lot, then there is Isami who has become like a sister to all of us and Onii-sama care for her as well which is shown by how much effort he put in training her for all this time. And even though Akeno-san has 'that' side to her she helps us where ever she can and is also doing most of her King's work(and there is also a request to help her whenever we can)."

She was about to continue but Sona interjected her and asked, "Wait, how do you know about Koneko's past because as far as I remember she never tells about that to anyone."

Miyuki just smiled and said, "That is none of your concern, we have our own methods and now where was I."

Sona felt a bit annoyed but left it at that as she knew that everyone has their ways of accessing information.

Miyuki then continued, "So like I was saying, Onii-sama only helped her to help our friends from not getting dragged with her because as you may know how Power hungry you devils can get. Once they come to know that Isami has the booseted gear and Koneko's origins they will start to look at them with breeding livestock. Also there is Akeno-san whose body is enough to make most of the men l.u.s.t over her and being under same roof as Riser that is ssure to happen."

Sona then thought for a while and said, "Then why he did he even bothered to encourage Rias of he only wanted to help her peerage."

At her question the girls in Tatsuya's team looked at her weirdly and Miyuki said, "Sona I didn't expect you to ask such a question."

Hearing this Sona's lips twitched but she controlled herself from lashing out. Miyuki then sighed and said, "You are her childhood friend right. So you must be Knowing her quite well." Sona only nodded her head in approval.

Miyuki also nodded her head and said, "Then what do you think will happen if Onii-sama were to directly say that she was hopeless and would only help her peerage." She then paused for a while and then said, "Being the spoiled princess that she is she would surely reject his offer and would also try to prove that she was not hopeless by directly try to fight Riser who is leagues above her. Honestly, she would not even be able to follow the movements of his Knights and knowing the endurance of her body the game would be lost without any of the other members of her team fighting."

Himari and the other nekoshou then interjected and said, "And besides he never truly encouraged her. He was not even bothered even when we informed him that Rias was not doing her training, yet he would sometimes help the other members of her team. And just last night we picked up the sound of both of them talking about something being recognised as Rias and not as a Gremory. He explained to her that he didn't believe in titles and all only accept who is worthy by what he sees which made her feel relieved. But what she failed to catch on was that he never said that he deemed her worthy for the whole time he was talking."

They then crossed their arms and said, "And what is that not liking to be seen as a Gremory, All the wealth, authority and connections that she have are all because she is a Gremory. All the servants that she have except for Isami are all the ones which were recommend to her by someone in her family and you must be knowing what method did she use to get Isami in her peerage. Even the authority that she has over Kuoh was given to her because Sirzechs asked for it despite knowing how bad her administration skills are."

They then sighed and then said, "All in all, what i am saying is that all that she is, is because she is a Gremory and when it is asked of her to do some proper duty as a Gremory she is saying that she don't want to be recognised as a Gremory. I mean c'mon is this a joke to her. Even if the condition for her was to marry a person who she does not like, instead of training herself and her peerage she runs here to the human world while also taking over the town without giving a damn about the security of the people living here. Many people died because she didn't took proper attention about the stray devils, fallen angels and priests coming to this town. Despite knowing that Kuoh is currently a devil territory she didn't enquired any of them on entering the town without permission and when asked why she would say that it would lead to war. Like seriously, some unauthorized people try to enter your territory and

d you instead of questioning them, let them roam free and do what they want.

Sona remained silent for a while and then said, "I can understand what you want to say but from what I just heard don't you all think the same about me after all I am the Sitri heiress as well and all the things that I have are because of the Sitri name?"

On hearing her question Miyuki shook her head and said, "No, you are not the same. Even though you are the Sitri heiresses and recieve all the privileges of being one as well, you do not neglect your duty as one. Even you got out of your engagement by your own efforts and We both know that the areas which are under your supervision in town are safe. And do you really think that he would have accepted your confession if he thought that you were troublesome or spoiled. You work hard Sona and you help your peerage as well, all of us including Onii-sama know that."

Sona became happy that all of them thought so good of her and so were the thoughts of Tsubaki.

Sona then adjusted her glasses and said, "But then doesn't mean that you all were somewhat lying to Rias and were making her hopes rise up."

All the girls shrugged their shoulders and said, "Were we, We never said anything to her that was a lie, thought se never told the truth to her as well. But we still didn't lie a bit. I will still say that Rias would win this game but that to only if she doesn't do something reckless like confronting Riser or his queen on her own. Even Onii-sama said, "As long as she don't get overconfident over the achievements of her servants and starts decided to attack Riser on her own she can win." "

Sona had a sweat drop when she heard that and said, "You people are really scary, I don't know what would have happened to me if I was spoiled like Rias."

All of them just laughed and then looked back at the screen to observe the match.
