NOVEL WEB 011 Andrea and Rias
011 Andrea and Rias
Underworld
July 31, 2011 ( 6 months left to Canon to Canon)
I really have to give props to Ajuka, being able to pull a Captain America on my body. Okay, my new body wasn't as diminutive as Steve Rogers before the super serum. Still, this body was not too far off from the pre-super-soldier serum Steve.
As I continue to admire my body in the bathroom mirror, a knock comes from the door. "Come in."
Pulling my gaze from the mirror to the opening door, I see my personal maid come into my bathroom with a garment bag. She doesn't even blush at my naked body, having seen it countless times in the last year and a half.
"Young Master, I have your suit for your introduction party. I suggest you stop admiring yourself in the mirror and get ready. Your guests have already begun arriving."
"Very well, Andrea." Not bothering to react to her snark.
Andrea, Entered my life shortly after I had my final check-in with Ajuka. Two and a half weeks after I woke up in this world.
-FLASHBACK-
"Morning, Sabastion. How can I help you?" I asked the Head Butler when he visited me this morning with a maid.
"I wanted to introduce you to your new personal maid, Andrea. Andrea will be responsible for all your personal needs."
"What's the difference between the normal maids running around and a personal maid?"
"Personal maids are loyal only to their master and not the family."
"And why am I getting a personal maid. I don't remember any of my siblings having a specific maid assigned to any of them."
"Young Master. The Lord and Lady decided that since you do not have a peerage or harem yet, that could be used to destress."
"What!" I sputter out. "I thought my mother does not let us have any sexual relations before marriage?"
"If that was your assumption, then you would be mistaken. Your mother only has this rule for Riser as he did not like Rias Gremory and did not want to marry her."
"So, in essence, my mother needed something to force my brother to marry Rias and not delay it any further."
"Pretty much."
"But that still does not explain why I need that kind of maid."
"With your rapidly increasing demonic power, your Sins will also be showing themselves soon. One of your sins will most definitely be Lust with your current age. Usually, sins come in around the age of 10 when young men have not yet started thinking about things such as sex."
I don't ask any further on that as I know a devil mustn't go too much against your sin. Going against your sin is like going against your true self and can cause mental problems.
"Andrea will also be acting as a maid, teacher, and bodyguard. I'll leave Andrea and you to get further acquainted."
As Sabastion leaves, I turn to the maid that has been ignored so far. I can not deny that she really is a beauty with bright blue eyes with blond hair that reaches just above her shoulders, the left side pushed behind her ear. And that maid attire really suits her well-endowed body (AN. think Android 18 in a french maid outfit)
"Hi, Andrea. I'm Rical Phenex. I hope you can take good care of me."
-FLASHBACK END-
"Riser will be meeting you at the antechamber." Andrea says with a sneer as she helps me put on my dress shirt. Andrea has hated Riser ever since he offered me 2 of his girls for her, to say she wasn't. Happy would be an understatement. She now refuses to call him young master Riser when we are alone. I can only chuckle to myself. I am very possessive; I'd never let another man touch what's mine.
"Well, then let us go meet him." I say as I take one last look in the mirror to make sure everything looks fine. I decided to keep it simple with navy dress pants, a white shirt, brown shoes, and a belt.
A few minutes later, I enter the antechamber seeing my brother standing there waiting for me with his queen. "Hello, Brother." I greet.
"Hey, Rical. Are you ready?"
"Let us get this over with. Ladies, you can leave." I sent the girls away as I specified that this party was for high-class devil youths only. I did this so that I could assess the youths without their Peerage around.
The servants open the door for us to enter.
-Rias Gremory-
It would be difficult to complain about my life. At least from an outsider's perspective, I have it all. I am Rias Gremory, a beautiful, talented heiress to one of the remaining Devil Clans of the 72 Pillars clans. I even inherited the power of Destruction from my mother's side of the family.
Outsiders see me standing on an unreachable pedestal, forgetting the price my ancestors paid for me to be on this pedestal. But, unfortunately, the outsiders don't see the price I am forced to pay to continue standing here.
"Rias." A familiar voice calls me from the right. Seeing who it is, my day immediately brightens.
"Seek-chan, Sona-chan. I did not expect to see you here." The buxom blond squints her red eyes. I guess she still doesn't like her nickname.
"I did not have a choice. All descendants of the 72 pillars were required to attend. I asked my father what this was all about he's only reply 'make a good impression.'" Seekvaira says while gesturing to all the Young devils in the room.
"My Mother said much the same and, Sarafall's was not much help either. If she knew anything, she did not say." Sona scowls. She never did like mysteries.
"I was told that if I embarrass myself tonight, I'll be back in the underworld permanently."
"That's understandable. The last time you were invited to the Phenex mansion for a party, you insulted Riser in front of everyone before you stormed off." Sona says, smirking at me. It's rare to see Sona without an icy expression.
"Well, it looks like we will be finding out shortly." Seek gestures for us to look at the door.
There I see the price I have to pay for my pedestal, my fiance Riser Phenex, the man I despise. He is with his sister Ravel and a young man with the classic Phenex looks, tall, good looking, blond with blue eyes. The only difference between him and a Phenex member is that he is larger than Sairaorg. If I didn't know better, I would say he was a Phenex, but I have met all the Phenex children.
"Who is that man with Riser?" My curiosity bleeds through the facade of indifference that I wear whenever Riser appears.
"No clue. I think he might be the reason we are all here. "Sona says, and I have to agree, Riser would not be leading an unimportant devil around to greet everyone.
The two men and Ravel are making the rounds and are taking their time with each group. The young man seems more The girls and I continue to talk about life and what we are up to lately until Seek says something.
"It looks like the new guy hit it off with Sairaorg."
That's surprising. While Sairaorg is friendly with everyone, not everyone is friendly in return. Everyone thinks that because he does not have the power of Destruction, he is a waste, forgetting he is the strongest among us young generation.
"It looks like we are next. Let's get this over with, then we can go." I say.
"Be nice. I know you are tired and hate Riser, but just hang in a bit longer, and then we can go home. Koah will be quiet without you." Sona says before making a thinking face. " You know what, make as much trouble as you want." Sona says with a smirk, clearly joking.
"Rias, Riser is so happy to see you." Satan, even the way he talks, is annoying. As he kisses my hand, I can feel my skin crawl. "Seekavaira and Sona, Riser is also happy to see you. Let Riser introduce you to Riser's younger brother." Riser's younger brother reaches for my hand and gently kisses it.
"Hello Rias, It's nice to finally meet you. I am Rical Phenex"
