"Azazel, you want me to attend tomorrow's peace conference? Are you sure?"
Vali was surprised by Azazel's request. He looked at Azazel questioningly.
"Of course, Vali. You're the White Dragon Emperor, after all."
Azazel scratched his head, then tried to persuade him.
"Tell me, Azazel, if they sign a peace treaty tomorrow, will there be no more wars in this world?"
Vali suddenly turned his gaze to the sky, sounding a little absentminded as he posed his question.
Azazel was startled and looked at Vali curiously, wondering why he sounded so down.
After thinking for a moment, Azazel finally understood. "I see. As one of the Two Heavenly Dragons, your only desire is to battle. Perhaps I understand you a little better now."
"However, world peace is necessary. We must follow the trends of the world!"
"Alright, I'll be going now, the summit of the Three Factions is tomorrow. Vali, don't forget to attend!"
After saying that, Azazel vanished in a flash.
—
Looking at the direction Azazel had disappeared in, Vali remained motionless for a long time, just standing there blankly.
Then, a strange look flickered in Vali's eyes as he muttered, "As the White Dragon Emperor, I have no interest in such a boring world. So, Azazel, we may not be on the same path."
"I hope you won't stand in my way tomorrow. After all, I don't want to be your enemy!"
Then, white dragon armor covered Vali's entire body, and the pale blue wings on his back shook. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night.
—
The next day was the day of the Three Factions Summit.
After some discussion, the meeting was to be held in the teachers' conference room in the new school building of Kuoh Academy.
At this moment, Kuoh Academy was surrounded by a powerful barrier jointly established by the leaders of the Three Factions. Almost no one could enter, and those inside couldn't leave until the meeting was over.
Outside the meeting room, there were armies of Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils everywhere.
They were not only on guard against each other, but also patrolling for surprise attacks from other factions.
After all, the attendees of this meeting were the most important figures of the Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils.
If something were to happen to the leaders of the Three Factions today, or if the negotiations broke down, it could immediately lead to a war between the Three Factions.
—
Inside the meeting room, Kyoya and the leaders of the Three Factions were already seated around a table.
Representing Heaven were Archangel Michael and an unfamiliar female Angel I didn't recognize. In the original story, Irina was supposed to accompany Michael to the meeting, but Irina had been spirited away by me, so she had been replaced.
Representing the Fallen Angels were Governor-General Azazel and the White Dragon Emperor Vali, who leaned against a wall with a cold expression.
The Devil representatives were the Maou Sirzechs and Serafall. The maid leader Evelyn stood behind Sirzechs.
As for Rias and Sona, and their peerages, they didn't have the right to sit and could only stand quietly in the distance.
Of course, I was the exception. After all, both in terms of strength and status, I was fully qualified to sit at the table.
The meeting was supposed to be very serious, but the atmosphere at the moment was extremely strange.
Azazel kept looking at me with a strange smile, not knowing what he was thinking.
Michael, that old good-natured guy, was still smiling at everyone, looking like a warm and friendly man.
As for Serafall, she was glaring at me.
Ever since the magical girl video shoot, I had become even bolder with her.
Now, during this meeting, I even dared to openly tease her with my eyes, making Serafall grit her teeth in frustration.
And I was deliberately sitting next to Serafall, even occasionally poking her with my finger, enjoying myself immensely.
Everyone present looked at me and Serafall with odd expressions.
Especially Sona, who was practically fuming, seeing me flirting with her sister in such a serious meeting.
But she couldn't help it. Thinking of this, a trace of helplessness flashed across Sona's face.
Just then, Sirzechs coughed, breaking the awkward silence.
"Ahem! Well then, since everyone is here, let's officially begin this meeting!"
Just then, Michael spoke up. "Before we begin, allow me to apologize for the incidents involving Asia Argento and Kiba Yuuto."
Then, to everyone's surprise, Michael bowed his head to Asia and Kiba.
Seeing this, Asia and Kiba quickly said, "Michael-sama, there's no need. Onii-sama has already told me everything, and I'm very happy now."
"That's right. After all, it was Valper who acted on his own, not you, Michael-sama. And I'm no longer troubled by the past."
Hearing Asia and Kiba's words, Michael apologized to them again, with a remorseful expression. "I'm sorry, for letting you endure so much suffering!"
Then, Michael returned to his seat, indicating to Sirzechs that they could continue the meeting.
Sirzechs nodded, looked at Rias and Sona, and said, "Since that's the case, let's continue the meeting! Rias, Sona, please explain the situation last time."
"Understood! Lucifer-sama!" Rias and Sona said in unison.
—
Rias and Sona stood up and explained the incident involving the stolen Excalibur fragments, how the Fallen Angel cadre Kokabiel tried to destroy Kuoh Town, and kill them both, all to trigger a war between the Three Factions.
After hearing their report, the leaders of the Three Factions reacted differently. Some sighed, some rubbed their temples in frustration, and some even smiled.
"That's everything that happened, and our opinions on the matter."
After Rias and Sona finished their report, Sirzechs said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. You two can return to your seats."
Hearing this, Rias and Sona nodded and returned to their original positions.
I gave them both an encouraging look, which made them blush slightly.
"Everyone understands the situation now. So, Azazel, I want to know what you have to say about Kokabiel's actions."
Then, Sirzechs turned to Azazel, his tone accusatory.
Everyone's gaze fell upon the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels, Azazel.
