Chapter 1009: Fiancé Sairaorg Bael

"Department Head, did something happen?" Tachiro Shirone looked at Rias Gremory in front of her, her tone full of worry.

"To be able to make Rias mention her own background and fall into this level of distress, it should only be a matter like marriage, right!" Lingyun said softly.

"Marriage?" A trace of astonishment could not help but appear on Tachiro Shirone's face.

A wry smile appeared on Rias Gremory's face: "Yes, it is indeed because of the marriage issue!"

"Is the Department Head getting married?" A trace of agitation entered Shirone's tone.

"It is not getting married, but rather I have a fiancé, however, I do not like this kind of marriage." Rias Gremory shook her head and said.

"It looks like you have already made your own decision!" A thoughtful expression appeared on Lingyun's face.

"That's right!" A firm expression appeared on Rias Gremory's face. "I have already raised objections to my family and my elder brother regarding my marriage issue. But, what the final result will be, I myself do not know."

"You have already raised objections, this really is your style!" Lingyun nodded and said. "However, I think this matter will not be settled so easily; neither your family nor your fiancé's family will interrupt this marriage alliance so easily."

Hearing Lingyun's words, a trace of heaviness also appeared on Rias Gremory's face, and then she nodded.

After all, whether it is the Gremory Family or the Phenex Family, both are famous families in the Underworld, and the marriage alliance between the two families is being watched by many people. If any problems arise with the marriage alliance, then who knows how many people will mock this matter, and it might even bring shame to the reputation of the two great families. And as the next head of the Gremory Family, Rias Gremory has the necessity to bear the consequences of this matter.

"If only a method could be found that does not cause the two families to lose face, or minimizes the situation, that would be fine!" Facing this kind of problem, Tachiro Shirone also fell into confusion; having once lived in the Underworld, she also knew the seriousness of this kind of problem.

"I also don't know what kind of opinion my elder brother might have regarding this matter." Rias Gremory also rubbed her forehead with some headache.

Just at this moment, a Magic Array suddenly lit up in the room. Within the Magic Array, the figure of Grayfia Lucifuge slowly appeared once again.

Seeing Grayfia Lucifuge appear, a trace of caution could not help but appear on Rias Gremory's face. Since Grayfia Lucifuge had returned, it meant that she had already discussed this matter with her elder brother, the current Devil King Lucifer, and as for what the final result of the matter would be, there should be a conclusion at this time.

"Lady Rias." Grayfia Lucifuge, who walked out from the Magic Array, bowed slightly toward Rias Gremory.

Looking at Grayfia Lucifuge dressed in a maid outfit, Lingyun could not help but think of one person, and that was the dashing head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Sakuya Izayoi. In a certain sense, there was still a certain degree of similarity between the two.

Of course, Lingyun did not have the intention of looking down on this maid, after all, this maid had the title of the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation, and her combat power could be considered a top-tier existence in the Underworld.

"Grayfia, since you have already returned, then the matter I mentioned before should have a conclusion, right!" Rias Gremory stared at Grayfia Lucifuge and said.

"Yes, I have come here under the orders of the master and Lord Sirzechs!" Grayfia Lucifuge said.

Hearing Grayfia Lucifuge's words, Rias Gremory could not help but become nervous. After all, wanting to sever this marriage contract was not a simple matter; in this situation, it was normal for her father and elder brother to be concerned. But at this critical juncture, she inevitably still had a few moments of trepidation in her heart.

"However, Miss Rias, who is this human?" Grayfia Lucifuge's gaze could not help but fall onto Lingyun.

"He is my friend!" Rias Gremory said.

"A friend, appearing in this kind of occasion, do you want him to intervene in this matter?" Grayfia Lucifuge's tone suddenly became serious.

If Lingyun was not involved in this matter, then this matter would be an internal affair of the Devils. But if Lingyun intervened in Rias Gremory's marriage contract, then the situation would become much more complicated, and one never knew if some old fogies in the Underworld would use this matter to make things difficult for the Gremory Family.

"What I want to do is my own business, it does not require your questioning!" A trace of hardness entered Rias Gremory's tone.

After all, she was the next head of the Gremory Family, and in some matters, she still had great autonomy.

Seeing Rias Gremory's attitude so hard, Grayfia Lucifuge could not help but stop this topic. But she still kept a portion of her attention on Lingyun, because Lingyun's current appearance was truly too plain, as if he did not take this matter to heart at all. Moreover, the aura on Lingyun also made her very concerned; although she could not perceive Lingyun's specific strength, her intuition was telling her that this man sitting on the sofa was a very dangerous existence.

Just as Grayfia Lucifuge wanted to say something more, a Magic Array suddenly appeared in the room once again. A scorching aura suddenly spread out from the Magic Array, and the family crest within the Magic Array made Rias Gremory's face suddenly sink.

"Phenex!"

Within the Magic Array, a figure slowly appeared amidst a pillar of fire that rose to the sky. The moment this figure appeared, Tachiro Shirone's body could not help but tense up; she felt a very dangerous aura from this figure. Immediately, strands of golden light surged into her pupils, causing her eyes to be dyed with a trace of gold.

Looking at Tachiro Shirone, who was releasing an abnormal aura, Grayfia Lucifuge's eyes could not help but narrow slightly.

The man who walked out from the Magic Array looked to be about twenty years old, wearing a wine-red suit; the suit did not have a tie, but instead was left open along with the shirt inside, exposing his chest. The man's face looked quite fierce, and his words and actions looked quite frivolous.

Seeing this person's way of appearing, Lingyun recognized this person's identity. This person was exactly Rias Gremory's nominal fiancé, the third young master of the pure-blooded High-class Devil family, the Phenex Family—Sairaorg Bael.

Looking at the person in front of him, Lingyun's brows could not help but furrow; judging from the behavior this guy was showing now, this Sairaorg Bael, who was like a small-time hoodlum, really was somewhat unworthy of Rias Gremory. And after being defeated by Hyoudou Issei in the original World Line, he was actually hit hard and shut himself away, which showed that his character might not be that great either, which made Lingyun's rating of him even lower.
