“Red Dragon Emperor, do you have anything left to say now?!”
In the room, Serafall glared at Tenraku, her anger evident.
“Serafall-sama, Sona and I have mutual feelings for each other, and I also won the match. Why are you trying to stop us?” Tenraku sighed, feeling helpless.
“Hmph, mutual feelings? I’m sure Sona-Chan has been deceived by you, this flirtatious Sex Dragon Emperor of all people!” Serafall crossed her arms indignantly. “You aren’t satisfied with Rias Chan and the others. I won’t let my Sona-Chan be defiled, especially not by this heartless, despicable Sex Dragon Emperor!”
Thinking about her precious Sona-Chan being tainted by a man, especially this notorious Sex Dragon Emperor, Serafall felt like her heart was bleeding. She was determined to prevent such a tragedy from happening!
“Serafall-Sama, your words are a bit harsh. Do you think you’re the only smart person in this world? Do you think I can deceive Sona, and she wouldn’t see through it?” Tenraku retorted calmly. “Furthermore, Serafall-Sama is a Demon King, and you should be mindful of your words and actions. The engagement between me and Sona has been approved by Otou-Sama and Duke-Sama. It already concerns the reputation of the Phenex family and the House of Sitri. Do you really want to jeopardize the relationship between these two houses?”
Tenraku’s tone turned colder as he spoke.
“I don’t care! I won’t hand Sona-Chan over to you!” Serafall was unyielding, her stance perfectly demonstrating her stubbornness.
Tenraku was slightly exasperated. Usually, Serafall was not like this. She was lively and adorable, even though she was a Demon King, and she was easy to get along with. She would listen to others’ opinions if she did something wrong.
But when it came to her younger sister, Sona-Chan, this Demon King was completely domineering and obstinate!
A sudden idea popped into Tenraku’s mind, and a faint smile curved his lips as he proposed, “Serafall-Sama, since neither of us is willing to back down, how about we make a deal?”
“One month from now, let’s have a showdown between the two of us, not in the form of a Rating Game but a one-on-one duel. If Serafall-Sama wins, I’ll annul my engagement with Sona, and I won’t pursue her any longer. If I win—”
“I agree!” Serafall interrupted Tenraku before he could finish speaking.
“Serafall-Sama, I haven’t even stated the conditions for my victory yet,” Tenraku remarked, a bead of sweat forming as he thought, “Is she in that much of a hurry?”
“Hmph, I won’t lose for Sona-Chan’s sake!” Serafall clenched her fist confidently.
“Alright then. If you happen to lose, what do you intend to do?” Tenraku inquired.
“If I really lose, you can do whatever you want!” Serafall declared.
“Very well, it’s settled then. I hope Serafall-Sama won’t slack off when the time comes.”
Tenraku couldn’t help but smile. He had been expecting her to say that.
“You just wait, you detestable Red Dragon Emperor! I’ll beat you and take Sona-Chan back!” Serafall exclaimed, her determination shining through.
“For the sake of Sona-Chan, I can do anything. You, a mere Sex Dragon Emperor, don’t stand a chance!”
“Oh, one more thing: before our showdown, you’re not allowed to engage in any… inappropriate activities with Sona-Chan!” Serafall warned, her thoughts turning to something specific.
Tenraku smirked and said, “Sure, but I also have a condition. This agreement and our secret will remain between us. Please don’t tell anyone else.”
Tenraku found it amusing that Serafall, who was fiercely protective of Sona-Chan, had no idea how many times her precious sister had already bitten him. If she knew, this Demon King would probably go berserk!
“Hmph, I won’t tell anyone,” Serafall responded. “Detestable Red Dragon Emperor, just you wait!”
In truth, Serafall didn’t actually dislike Tenraku all that much. However, because this annoying guy was trying to steal her Sona-Chan, she had labeled him as her number one arch-nemesis in life.
As she watched Serafall turn to leave, Tenraku’s face revealed a knowing smile.
This clever Demon King, in her determination to protect her younger sister, had become somewhat foolish. If Tenraku didn’t have absolute confidence, would he have made such an agreement with her?
Well, let him eagerly anticipate what would happen when Serafall was in his hands. Then, he would…
…
“Lord Tenraku, Lady Sona is coming out.”
In the lavish hall, the prepared Tenraku was waiting. Yubelluna suddenly whispered in Tenraku’s ear.
A wave of restlessness swept through the crowd. Tenraku turned to look and indeed saw Sitri Sona, walking out like a star amidst a sea of people.
After careful grooming, the young girl was dressed in an elegant white gown, accompanied by Lady Phenex, Lady Sitri, as well as Rias and Ravel. Step by step, she approached Tenraku.
It was the first time Tenraku had seen Sona so resplendent, and he couldn’t help but be struck by her stunning beauty. If Rias was like a fiery rose, then Sitri Sona was like a noble and cool white lotus. They were entirely different types, but both equally beautiful and enchanting.
“Sona, you look truly beautiful today,” Tenraku sincerely praised as the girl stood before him.
A blush graced Sona’s face, and the President-sama lowered her head. “Kamiya Tenraku, I am entrusting my most precious daughter to you. You must not let Sona down in the future.”
Handing Sona’s hand to Tenraku, Lady Sitri spoke.
“Rest assured, Aunt. I will never let Sona down. I promise!” Holding Sona’s hand, Tenraku responded solemnly.
Whether it was Rias or Sona, they were both girls that Tenraku recognized and cared for. He would naturally not let them down.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the engagement ceremony between my daughter Sona and Kamiya Tenraku of the Phenex family,” Duke Sitri announced from the elevated platform. Representatives from various major families of the Underworld were present for Tenraku and Sona’s engagement ceremony. Even many who had watched the match earlier had stayed.
Although many male Devils were cursing the detestable Kamiya Tenraku in their hearts, as he had once again plucked the coveted flower they admired, they still gave friendly applause and blessings at this moment.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Tenraku and Sitri Sona ascended the platform hand in hand. Then, in the presence of all, they formally bound their engagement…
