Chapter 1: Sona, you really are full of yourself

"Tea, coffee, or cola?"

Sona and Rias looked at the cola placed before them in silence.

Isn't there absolutely no choice here?

"Sorry, it seems I only have cola as a drink here."

Sona: "..."

Rias: "..."

Lin En sat on the sofa, leaning back slightly, ignoring their speechless expressions.

Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory.

Having watched two seasons of High School DxD in his previous life, Lin En was fairly familiar with these two.

But that was all.

Since transmigrating to this world, he had never had any interaction with these two.

Their sudden visit today left him completely baffled even now.

Lin En spoke up: "So, what is the reason for your visit?"

"Rias Gremory. Just call me Rias."

After a simple self-introduction, Rias gave Sona a look, signaling her to go first, while she herself stared at the can of cola in front of her, as if hesitating whether to open it.

"Sona Sitri."

After stating her name, Sona took out a piece of parchment and placed it on the table.

Lin En’s eyes dropped, narrowing slightly.

The parchment was densely packed with writing, but it wasn't any kind of human script.

Demonic script...

Seeing this font, Lin En felt a bit dazed.

Since coming to live in the human world, he hadn't seen demonic writing in a long time.

And...

Lin En’s gaze tightened, shifting to the very bottom.

"The family crest of Valper..."

Valper, a former demonic noble family of the Underworld.

And his full name was Lin En Valper.

He was a transmigrator; this was already his second life.

He had only broken through the mystery of the womb a few days ago.

The Lin En of this life was not a pure human, but a half-human, half-demon hybrid. However, when he was seven, because of his mixed-blood status, he was exiled by the Valper family and came to live in the human world.

Now, it seemed that because of the surname Valper, trouble had come knocking...

This parchment was actually a marriage contract.

The two parties to the contract were the Valper family and... the Sitri family.

Lin En’s expression was strange; now he knew why they had come.

Under normal circumstances, as a hybrid demon, this marriage contract with the Sitri clan clearly wouldn't fall to him.

But the Valper family had been wiped out overnight a few years ago.

Having been exiled, he became the only remaining bloodline of the Valper clan, and this marriage contract naturally fell to him.

However...

Lin En glanced at the expressionless Sona Sitri, roughly understanding that she probably wasn't here to fulfill the marriage contract.

So, she was here to call off the engagement?

Transmigration, and then having someone come to break off an engagement.

It’s the Xiao Yan script!

Lin En simply said: "You want to dissolve the engagement?"

Sona and Rias were both stunned for a moment. After exchanging a glance, Sona said: "Sorry, I will compensate you."

Apology flashed in her eyes.

Valper now only had Lin En as its sole bloodline, and her coming specifically to dissolve the engagement was, to some extent, kicking someone while they were down.

But she really didn't want to spend the rest of her life with someone she had never met and had no emotional foundation with.

"Fine, I agree."

Lin En agreed very readily.

It wasn't for any so-called compensation; he simply didn't want to bring trouble upon himself.

If he remembered correctly, behind Sona Sitri stood a sister-complex Demon King?

He didn't want to have a "three-year agreement" like Xiao Yan, only to have the sister beaten and the older sister show up.

Sona opened her mouth, a flash of astonishment in her eyes. Clearly, she hadn't expected Lin En to agree so readily, nor had she expected the dissolution of the engagement to go so smoothly.

One had to know, that was a marriage contract with the Sitri clan!

In the Underworld, anyone who could form a marriage contract with the Sitri clan would never let it go easily, let alone a family like Valper that only had one heir left.

If one could successfully marry into the Sitri clan, with their help, one might even be able to rebuild the family.

And yet, this Lin En in front of her just agreed to dissolve the engagement so simply?

This was not the process she had imagined before coming.

She didn't know that as a hybrid demon, Lin En had been like an invisible person when he was in the Valper family.

Furthermore, he had been exiled to the human world at the age of seven, so he naturally had no feelings for the Valper family.

Seeing this marriage contract, he had absolutely no intention of using the Sitri family's power to restore the glory of Valper.

Rias stared at Lin En, also very surprised in her heart, not expecting Lin En to be so easy to talk to.

"So, what is the next procedure?"

Lin En didn't care about their thoughts and said: "Do we need to sign an agreement contract to dissolve the engagement? Or..."

He picked up the contract document on the table, "Tear this thing up?"

Rias said in a low voice: "That contract is recognized by the four current Demon Kings. Unless you possess power exceeding that of the four Demon Kings, it cannot be torn at all."

"..."

Lin En silently put the contract back down and said with a straight face: "Let's talk about the agreement contract issue."

Rias pursed her lips, trying her best not to laugh out loud.

This Lin En was actually quite interesting.

And very handsome, too.

Black hair, red eyes, and an indescribable noble air about him.

This unexpected fiancé of Sona's, aside from potentially being a bit weak in strength, was much better than that firebird.

Thinking of the marriage contract on herself, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Sona was a bit dazed now.

Lin En’s refusal to play by the rules made her brain lag a bit.

She hadn't expected Lin En to agree to dissolve the engagement today; she had intended to resolve her own marriage contract issue through a Rating Game.
