And that was without factoring in the effect such a thing would have on her Peerage. While most if not all of Sona’s had been volunteers, almost all of Rias’ Peerage had been in some state of distress when she recruited them, Kiba, Issei and Asia having been literally on death’s door whereas Akeno had been hunted by her mother’s clan for the ’sin’ of having a Fallen for a Father.

Setting aside Koneko and Gasper, who both had issues of their own to consider even after she took them in, it was clear to Rias that not only she, but the entirety of Devil Society, and most likely Heaven itself, owed a considerable debt to Azazel the Scapegoat for being the first to call for a ceasefire.

That didn’t mean she’d forgiven him for his earlier transgressions mind you. It simply meant she wouldn’t vaporise him with her Power of Destruction unless he tried to lay a hand on her or any of her peerage without permission.

"As nice as it is to hear you sing my praises, it’s getting late and I’m sure these kids have had more than enough embarrassment for one day." Azazel mused, winking at Sona and Rias as he thumbed over his shoulder "With that in mind, how about I treat you all to some drinks before you head home? There’s this nice little bar I highly recommend."

"Sounds like fun." Sirzechs opined, his father nodding his head in agreement before turning to regard Serafall with a smile "What do you say? Care to join us Serafall?"

"If Az is paying that’s fine by me!" the Maou-Shoujo chirped, Shirou mentally applauding Issei for the well-fitting title as the Leviathan managed to squeeze in one last glomp on her flustered sister before skipping over to lock arms with Azazel, practically dragging the Governor General out of the hall alongside Rias’ chuckling brother and father "Bye Son-tan! Don’t stay out too late!"

"I should be the one saying that-!" Sona exclaimed, the frazzled looking heiress reaching up to cover her face with both hands, groaning into her palms as Rias crossed over to pat her on the shoulder with a long-suffering smile.

"Ah yes, before I forget..." Sirzechs called out, causing the girl to stiffen imperceptibly as her elder brother turned to look at her over his shoulder "Rias, when we get home, we need to speak about your other Bishop."

Yet another Action-free Chapter building up to the Big Conference.

Rest assured another will be released Shortly to tide you over for a bit.

As mentioned above, some of my older fics are being discontinued due to the lack of my Pen-Drive and my need to focus on other matters. I’ll still update my newer ones, but most of the older ones that have been dead in the water, so to speak, will be put up for adoption or retired within a week or so.

Currently, the list of stories being discontinued are as follows:

Most, if not all, of my old Naruto fics: Let’s face it, most of these have been dead in the water for years now. I might try to reboot a few, but till then first come first served.

The Herwald von Einzbern Series: Yeah, recent revelations from devout Type-Moon fans have pretty much blown this series out of the water. Sorry.

Kamen Rider Vandread-O: Yeah admittedly I kinda shot myself in the foot with this one.

Geass Rider Zero Knight: Sadly I don’t see this one finishing anytime soon.

Anyone interested in picking up where I left off, send me a PM and I’ll let people know before I take the fic down. My reasons for doing this is to both focus on getting my life together as well as ensuring I actually complete some stories within my lifetime (Lol). More on that next Chapter.

"You look like you had a good time last night." Shirou noted as he set out breakfast for everyone the following morning. While his comment was directed at Azazel, who had staggered into the house drunk off his ass in the wee-hours of the morning, it could also be attributed to Vali, who likewise had disappeared for the day following his near-altercation with Issei in front of the Academy.

"What can I say, it’s been a while since I could bitch about the old days with people who know what the hell I’m talking about." Azazel chuckled, sighing with relief as he downed his first cup of coffee for the day "Still, it’s good to know politics hasn’t changed Serafall all that much. She always was a ray of sunshine once the Great War ended, especially considering how dour her predecessor was." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"You mean the original Leviathan?" Xenovia pressed, honestly intrigued, as aside from their descriptions in the Bible, which were hardly the most flattering, there wasn’t that much known about the Original Four Satans, or any of the founding 72 pillars for that matter, with the exception of Lucifer.

"Yeah, a real sourpuss that one." Azazel sighed, shaking his head at the memory of the fallen Satan "Hell of an Alchemist but her people-skills left a lot to be desired...kinda like Falbium really." He noted as an afterthought.

"The current Asmodeus." Xenovia supplied dutifully for Shirou’s benefit "He’s considered something of a tactical genius even by the Vatican, but since he doesn’t appear in public that often, not much is known about him."
