Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 9: Our son wishes to die

The aftermath of this trouble wasn't something that he had expected.

Whether it was the Grimory family or Sirzech admitted that they might have pampered Rias too much, so they didn't really blame him, but who knew what they thought inside their heart?

Still, at least on the surface, the relationship between the two families wasn't affected.

Moreover, did they dare to cut the relationship between the two families?

No way.

While the Phenex family might not be as powerful as Maou, their number was there, and they also held the Phenex Tears. Unless the Gremory family didn't want to buy the Phenex Tears, then they could only swallow this bitter pill.

Moreover, many also thought that it was also the fault of Rias and her family.

His reputation for being dandy was not for nothing.

Even his peerage was full of beautiful women, so the thought of him divorcing Rias had never appeared in the mind of others.

If there was something that would cause him to make this drastic move, then without a doubt, it was Rias and her family who made a disgusting move, trying to sabotage their engagement, breaking the engagement while making him the bad guy.

However, Riser's pride was something that they had never expected. He refused to be part of this charade and decisively divorced Rias without regret and left.

By now, the Underworld was full of their news.

While Sirzech and the Gremory family wanted to stop it, it was rather hard since not everything could be controlled by them.

Still, not many people agreed with Riser since if they were in his place; they might as well sleep with Rias first before they divorced her.

However, this was only a minority.

Without a doubt, the majority was in favor of Riser.

Moreover, his second brother was the boss of a media company in the Underworld, so it was impossible to put all the blame or tarnish the name of the Phenex House.

The name of the wealthiest family in the Underworld wasn't for nothing.

Naturally, this news was only known by the high-class devils.

Those who were below had no right to know this matter.

Still, without a doubt, Rias Gremory's pride was tarnished because of this. Not only was her first kiss taken, but she was also divorced. However, when she tried to challenge her fiance's limits from time to time again, she should be ready for the consequences as not everyone was going to accommodate her whimsical.

However, it didn't mean that Riser was okay.

While he had left with dignity, his problem didn't go away, but he wasn't fully blamed either.

Only his father was looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Are you not going to regret this?"

The marriage between Riser and Rias was made by the agreement between him and Rias's father, Zeoticus Gremory. The two agreed to marry them since this marriage was good for the devil. As a devil, they wanted their blood to be preserved, especially with many reincarnated devils starting to appear one after another.

No one was stupid, and they knew in the future, the number of the reincarnated devil would be much more than those pure-blood devils, especially after the previous wars where the devil with pure blood had almost gone extinct.

Moreover, unlike humans, which could quickly breed their races, the devils were different since it was hard for them to produce offspring.

The Phenex house aside, since in this generation, they had four children that consisted of three brothers and one sister, the Gremory house was different.

The only young-generation devil in the Gremory house was Rias Gremory.

As for Sirzech, as he had become a Maou, he wasn't someone part of the Gremory house again since when one became a Maou, they needed to be parted from their house.

"Yes, I don't regret this. I can see that they don't like me. Why should I force this relationship? Moreover, this is marriage. If it's just fun, then I don't mind, but a marriage? It means that I will live with her for the rest of my life. I don't want to be trapped with such a troublesome woman for the rest of my life."

Nevertheless, when he got home, he couldn't relax as he was called by his parents immediately.

Still, hearing his father's question, he didn't really regret it, especially when he got his reward.

High Intelligence.

It was a good ability, without a doubt.

Moreover, who wanted to marry a troublesome wife, right?

"Yes, if they don't want our son, then that's it. There is no need to force it. Also, all the problems started from them. If they don't want to marry, then they shouldn't agree with this agreement in the first place."

Fortunately, his mother was on his side.

Hearing that, his father also let him go. Anyway, he didn't think that his son would be troubled by a woman, especially with his power. Instead, many women would want to become his wife.

The world of the devil is like this.

The strongest got everything.

Moreover, he also knew that everything started with Rias and her family.

"But I am surprised that you decided to break your relationship so easily. Are you really sure that you don't regret your decision?"

Whether his father and mother knew how much his son wanted to marry Rias as soon as possible. Rias was a beautiful woman, and their son was a playboy, so knowing their son's personality, even now, they couldn't erase their surprise at his decision.

It was also why his father repeated this question.

"...."

Riser was speechless, but he knew that his image wasn't good. He let out a helpless sigh and looked into the distance with a lonely expression.

"..." Lord Phenex and Lady Phenex.

"I just realized something when Sirzech-sama asked me to fight Sekiryuutei."

"What did you realize?" 2x

They asked him curiously.

"Do we, devil, lack a beautiful woman?"

"....."

"Rias is beautiful, especially with that crimson hair, but when I thought about the trouble that came with her, I thought it wasn't worth it. First was the Rating Game, then a duel with the Sekiryuutei, then what's next? Moreover, she isn't the only unmarried high-class pure-blooded devil in the Underworld."

"That's true." Lord Phenex nodded. "So, do you want me to set up a new marriage for you?"

Riser's lips twitched, and he asked reluctantly, "Do I have to marry?"

"Of course!" 2x

His parents answered at the same time.

Riser didn't want to marry since he wanted to play around first.

[As a villain, how could you not have a fiancee? You should have a fiancee! Have a wife! Have a mistress! Have a lot of women! Make a harem!]

[The villain is someone that can't be controlled!]

[Live freely and more happily than others!]

[No rules can bind you!]

[The rules are made to be broken by you!]

[Set an engagement with another pureblood devil!]

[Target: Rias Gremory, Sona Sitri, Seekvaira Agares, Latia Astaroth, Iryuka Glasya-Labolas...]

[If you fail, you will lose one nipple]

[As for the reward, depending on the number and person, it will be different, but you will like it]

"....."

If he lost one nipple, then what should he do?

Should he rely on an artificial nipple?

He wanted to cry, but no tears came out, especially when he thought about the partner that he should take.

Also, what do you mean by Rias Gremory?

He had just divorced her before; then, the system wanted him to marry her again?!

Also, Sona Sitri?

Wasn't this Rias's best friend?

After he divorced Rias, then was he going to have an engagement with Rias's best friend?

Was the system wishing to kill him?

Even if Maou was a good guy, he might kill him!

Also, what do you mean that he would like the reward?

However, he didn't want to lose one nipple. He let out a helpless sigh in his heart, then tried to be as calm as possible. "Then set me up for a new engagement then."

"...." 2x

Lord Phenex and Lady Phenex blinked their eyes.

"...now?" 2x

"Yes."

"...."

They might wish him to marry, but it could be done later, so they didn't expect that he would ask them to set up an engagement once again right after he divorced his previous fiancee a moment ago.

However, it was good that he didn't reject the idea of marrying, and they could prepare his new fiancee quickly, so they were excited.

"So, who do you want to marry?"

"Yes, we will try to set up a meeting with the lady that you like."

With Riser's reputation as the "Blue Phenex" and their family status, who would reject him?

The only one that wanted to reject him was the one with higher status than him, like Rias, since she was the heir of Gremory's house and the little sister of Maou.

Still, he didn't answer them immediately. He looked at the list of women that he could marry in his system and thought about who he should marry. This decision was hard, but in the end, he chose...

"Sona Sitri."

"....." 2x

They wondered whether their son had a death wish.

---

Yes, I know that it is a bit cliche, but there is a reason why I chose this one.

Also, she is beautiful, okay?

That sharp gaze under her glasses gives me a shudder... Cough!

Also, frankly, I am confused about why you all hate Sona so much.

However, if I have to say the real reason for choosing Sona, it is because Riser needs backing, someone that can help to protect him.

The others are good girls, beautiful, and have better bodies than Sona, but if we talk about status, the only one that can compare to Rias in status is only Sona.

As for Latia Astaroth, she might be good, but she is only part of the Astaroth branch family, and it might be better not to get involved with the Astaroth family until Diodora is solved.

As for Seekvaria, this girl is part of the Great King faction, which is an unfavorable faction in the Underworld.

As for Iryuka Glasya-Labolas, she is also a branch member of the Glasya-Labolas family. The heir of this family will pass away soon, so Riser needs to be careful in case he might be framed. Moreover, her status in her family is rather low now.

In conclusion, whether you like Sona or not, you can't deny that if he wants to have a comfortable and stable life, having Sona is necessary since Serafall's backing is necessary. Moreover, unlike Ajuka Beelzebub, Serafall is family-oriented, and she can do anything for her family.

This marriage isn't simply just marrying a beautiful girl and satisfying his lust, but it is also to save his life.

Beauty is fine, but if you don't have enough time to enjoy it, what's the use of it?
