Everyone was surprised with how frank Ritsuka was about winning… like if it was second nature.
"So… now that I've placed a target on my back, shall we formulate a plan then?" Ritsuka chuckled as he pulled out a small red potion from his magical storage.
Riser kicked one of the ottomans in his room. His Peerage was avoiding him at the moment clearly not wanting to get on his bad side. He wasn't a bad master… but his arrogance sometimes made him insufferable. The only one who could stand to be around him at this point was Ravel Phenex, his younger sister and temporary bishop.
"Calm down already. He just got lucky." Ravel attempted to get Riser to calm down but he was still freaking out.
"How the fuck can I calm down when he basically walked through my flames like it was nothing!" Riser barked back accidentally burning the ottoman he kicked in his blind rage.
"Stop burning everything! It was a fluke! That's it!." Ravel argued back. "I find it weird that he was only a human but managed to do all that. I want him."
"What!?" Riser stopped his pacing instantly staring his little sister down.
"What? You said you were going to kill him. If that happens then I want to revive him as a devil. He'll be mine since he's so strong. I'd say it's a good plan to make the Phenex clan stronger in the future." Ravel glared at her brother who slightly balked in disgust. "Or should I tell father how you were intimidated by a regular human."
Riser flinched slightly, remembering how he let his flames attack the human. It was infuriating. He needed a way to stop this from getting anywhere. A flash of inspiration struck him in that moment giving him a way to stop this from going anywhere. No way in hell was he allowing his sister to be anywhere near that human.
"Rias would probably revive him herself. There's no way you'll ever get him regardless of who you are Ravel. Just let it be. We'll win and then we'll have them all anyways." Riser stated smugly nodding his head to himself with his eyes closed.
"So? That isn't very convincing if he could stop our flames. I want it to be a sure thing." Ravel muttered back. Someone strong like that that was free was not something that would be coming around every day.
"He got lucky! That's all." Riser growled as he was taken out of his confident stance.
"Are you okay sweetheart?" A voice called out from the hall. "I heard the screaming."
"Yes mother… just discussing what I want for the Ratings Game with brother." Ravel called back as their mother only know as Lady Phenex to her contemporaries stepped within. She was slightly disappointed by the ashes on the ground.
"Riser… did you burn another ottoman?" Lady Phenex sighed as Riser took a step back.
"Sorry… just got a little mad over negotiations." Riser growled out trying to keep his anger from spilling out.
"Why? Did Rias turn you away still?" Lady Phenex was sympathetic but Riser couldn't tell that she was also more on Rias' side for independence. That was her little secret.
"No mother. It wasn't that… well it wasn't only that. Rias has two new members… but one of them is only a human." Ravel announced without pause which caused her mother to look at them in surprise.
"What? That doesn't seem right?" She answered as her hand covered her mouth. "How was that a problem though?"
"It was actually very impressive mother. He stood up to Riser without even flinching, I want him as one of my Peerage." Ravel mentioned clearly not wanting to lose an opportunity.
"I said that wouldn't happen. Besides if he dies then Rias would get him and when I win the Ratings Game he'll be ours as well." Riser argued back getting in his little sister's face who returned his glare back at him.
"And I said I want insurance in case Riser goes overboard." Ravel growled back clearly knowing what her brother was planning.
"Children… no fighting." Lady Phenex clapped her hands stopping the two from going any further in their arguments than that.
"Riser, you asked your sister to stand in as your bishop so you need to respect her wishes. Ravel, you can't take someone's member unless they are actually being traded to you. If you want to discuss changing things then talk to Ruval. Since he's the head of the family right now, you know if you want to get things then you need to talk to him." Lady Phenex announced clearly not wanting this argument to get out of hand.
"That's a great idea Mother. I shall go to him at once!" Ravel cheered as she rushed out the door for her older brother's room.
"Mother… that seems like a horrible idea." Riser grimaced as he watched his mother's expression.
"It probably won't go anywhere but if she can start her own Peerage then it should be fine. Still… you can win right?" His mother questioned as she stopped her cute act.
"Of course I can win. They are nothing to me." Riser sneered clearly unhappy that even his mother had questioned him.
"Don't underestimate people. That is a very bad habit you still haven't broken." Lady Phenex scolded him raising her finger to him in mock anger. "You have a tendency to do something stupid when you get really angry."
"I won't." Riser ignored the warning. After all that human had a weak weapon that couldn't do anything to him anyways. All his talk was that, talk.
"Ruval! Ruval-sama! I need your help!" Ravel called out to her older brother who was luckily home at the moment.
"What is it?" Ruval called from behind the large stack of paperwork he had been working on. The distribution of Phoenix Tears, the premier healing agent in the underworld, was still going under way.
"I need to talk to you about something with the deals made with the Gremory household." Ravel brought up which caused Ruval to silently sigh behind the paperwork. It was enough that he had to deal with his father's old fashioned way of putting pureblood first, but he had to continue with his younger brother's stupid desire. He rubbed his eyes in exasperation.
