"He took my woman. There will be consequences for that." Diodora stated with a grim frown though his eyes remained closed.

"He lived. That's all the reason I need to kill him." Freed smirked as his tongue traced his lips in perverse pleasure.

"Whatever. So long as the war restarts then I'll stomach this little alliance of ours." Kokabiel grimaced, crossing his arms in abject disgust.

"Don't worry. When this is all over you can do whatever you want to those two devil princesses. After all… what is war without a little tragedy." Diodora giggled slightly. Kokabiel merely grinned at the thought as the three continued their plans in secret.

Riser had told his Peerage the news. They were saddened by it but they knew their place in Devil society all too well. Ravel had taken them away just to make certain that everyone was able to process this turn of events.

"I didn't want it to go this far but now I have more reason to win, don't I?" Riser asked his brother who returned just moments ago.

"It wouldn't have come to this if you didn't immediately say to father, 'her, she'll be my bride!'." Ruval answered as he nursed his head against his palm. He had started drinking early which was something he normally didn't do.

"It is the right of every member of our family to get what they want! What they deserve! I'm just taking what is mine." Riser announced in a strong regal tone. He didn't even feel the least bit worried about the games. "I shall be the winner as it is so written. With how weak their members are and the lack of training that Rias put them through, we shall come out victorious."

"That arrogance is bad for making decisions. If they win? What then?" Ruval stopped his next drink looking at his foolish younger brother.

"There's no way I can lose. They are nothing and that is the only thing I need to know." Riser stated, his confidence the one thing that seemed to carry him through life.

"I expect a win if you're saying that. If you lose then you'll be helping me with paperwork for the next couple of years." Ruval glibly answered, draining another glass of wine. It was the only thing that could ease his mind.

The constant cloak and dagger of the situation had made him suspicious but at the end of the day, he acted on it. If things did go wrong he would go and kill Diodora for it, even if it would cause problems later on. Though, as he thought on it, he was starting to think that using the human they all were fighting over or about was the better course of action. It didn't matter. Everything would be settled as soon as tomorrow came.

Ritsuka laid back on his bed. It had been a tense morning and he didn't like how things were handled. His involvement had suddenly gone from partial to completely involved. It didn't help that he was seeing that things had gone completely out of hand. He didn't think that the Phenex family would have agreed to something that stupid. He released a frustrated growl as he rubbed his hands down his face.

It didn't help that when everyone finished dinner they all went to bed almost immediately. No one seemed to be in the mood to talk since tomorrow was the day everything could change. Ritsuka remained on his bed staring up at the ceiling. The door opened and Rias came into the room… dressed far too scantily for comfort.

"Ritsuka… I- " Rias started only for him to cut her off.

"Lay down next to me and let's chat." Ritsuka muttered and Rias reluctantly did so… staring up at the ceiling as well.

"Did you know what I was going to do?" Rias sulked slightly since her plan was broken before it even began.

"No. I figured it out the moment you stepped into the room. Worried about tomorrow, aren't you?" Ritsuka wondered letting his hands rest behind his head.

"Isn't it obvious? Tomorrow I could wind up marrying someone even though I did this game just to get out of it. I'm absolutely terrified…" Rias trailed off as she turned to Ritsuka.

"We won't. You should know that already. I've already told you that we're going to win this." Ritsuka mentioned clearly not as worried as she was.

"How can you be so confident…? Riser is one of the strongest candidates within the entirety of hell with only two other devils reaching that level at mid tier." Rias muttered as she curled up trying to be as small as possible.

"I just know we are going to win." Ritsuka mentioned with that same resolute tone. "I take it you came to my room so that if we lose… he wouldn't win, right?"

"Yes…" Rias trailed off feeling ashamed of what she attempted.

"Come here." Ritsuka ushered her with his arm which she reluctantly went into. "I wouldn't mind doing what you want… kind of used to women having me do as they ask already…"

"From Chaldea?" Rias reluctantly asked… she knew the answer… but his tone showed some annoyance.

"Yeah. I get your reasoning and I would say yes in any other circumstance but your reason for doing so now… it would complicate things. If anything happened at this moment before we get rid of the baggage that's trapped to you, any relationship we had would be... unsatisfying." Ritsuka sighed as he rubbed his hand over her head petting her lightly as tears started falling down her cheeks.

"Sorry…" Rias muttered.

"It's not your fault. And I'm used to being shared already. The sad part of my life is just how normal it seems to me to have so many loved ones nowadays." Ritsuka muttered and his tone took a more somber tone.

"It's normal for you to be shared?" Rias looked up… her crying had slowed down considerably. There were still tear tracts but she wasn't sniffling anymore.
