However, this was also understandable, as the identity and background of the silver-haired maid were far too intimidating.
Grayfia Lucifuge, the queen of Satan Sirzechs Lucifer, known as the Underworld’s Strongest Queen, the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation. Even among the Satan Class Devils, she stood as one of the top-tier powerhouses.
Her personality was exceedingly strict, to the extent that even Rias rarely dared to talk back to her.
"The legendary Queen of Annihilation gracing me with her presence—what business might you have with me?"
Faced with Grayfia’s unwavering gaze, Blake furrowed his brows slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but quickly regained his composure. Looking at her calmly, he spoke.
Seeing how quickly Blake recovered from the pressure of her aura, Grayfia was momentarily surprised.
Though she hadn’t been serious, the released aura was not something a mere human should have been able to endure. Even High-Class Devils would pale under its weight, yet Blake appeared unaffected.
"Just call me Grayfia. For now, my identity is merely that of the head maid of the Gremory household. Blake, I’ve come to deliver a message."
Maintaining her solemn demeanor, Grayfia suddenly broke the silence and spoke.
"Miss Rias is about to marry the young master of the renowned Phenex family from the Underworld. Your little game of romance should end here."
"Hah, did Rias agree to this?"
Hearing this, Blake immediately sneered coldly, speaking nonchalantly.
"This marriage concerns the future of the pure-blooded devils of the Underworld. It is not something Miss Rias can decide on her own," Grayfia replied indifferently, her gaze unwavering as she looked at him.
"Such tyranny."
After muttering this disdainfully, Blake’s aura suddenly transformed, becoming as sharp and indomitable as an unsheathed blade.
"However, at least for now, Rias is my girlfriend. Until Rias herself breaks up with me, I will not hand her over to anyone."
The moment these words left his lips, Grayfia frowned. Rias’s emerald eyes wavered intensely, while Akeno, Koneko, Yuuto Kiba, and the slightly nervous Asia all turned to look at Blake’s resolute figure, ripples forming in their hearts.
Aside from Asia, who didn’t understand the significance of Grayfia’s identity, the others were fully aware of who she was and the terrifying power she concealed beneath her delicate form.
They had never imagined that Blake would stand so firmly against Grayfia for Rias’s sake.
"Stubborn. This is the will of the Underworld. It’s not something you can change."
Grayfia’s tone became stern, her aura intensifying further, causing Koneko and Asia to feel slightly breathless.
At that moment, a silver glow appeared on the back of Blake’s hand, and soon, Kanna materialized before everyone’s eyes.
"Big Brother Blake, she’s very strong..."
Standing protectively in front of him, Kanna spoke seriously, her usual carefree expression replaced by a grave demeanor.
"I know. But I’m not so weak as to need you to shield me, Kanna."
Hearing this, Blake gently patted her head and then pulled her behind him.
Though Kanna was indeed powerful, she was still far from being a match for someone like Grayfia, who stood at the pinnacle of the Satan-class.
A dragon’s aura? And not just any dragon...
When Kanna appeared, Grayfia’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, a rare expression of shock crossing her usually composed face.
Seeing Kanna, her gaze toward Blake shifted. After all, it was inconceivable for an ordinary human to form a contract with such a unique dragon.
"Grayfia, I too have my will."
As the tense atmosphere lingered, Rias suddenly broke the silence, drawing everyone’s attention.
"I will never give up Blake. I will not marry a weak man."
Standing up, Rias cast an apologetic yet deeply moved glance at Blake before turning to face Grayfia with unwavering determination.
Hearing this, Grayfia frowned. Though her impression of Blake had changed, abandoning her mission was out of the question.
A mission had to be carried out perfectly.
"Miss Rias, this matter—"
Before Grayfia could finish, the magic circle on the floor of the club room began to glow.
The Gremory family crest inscribed within the circle shifted, transforming into a fiery emblem.
"—Phenex."
Yuuto Kiba muttered softly as he glanced at the altered magic circle.
The room was enveloped in a radiant light as a figure materialized within the circle.
Boom!
Flames erupted from the circle, filling the room with an oppressive heat.
A male silhouette emerged from the fire.
Seeing Koneko and Asia looking slightly uncomfortable, Blake furrowed his brows. His power shifted instantly to ice magic, countering the flames and restoring the room’s temperature to normal.
"Impressive. You’re not bad for someone trying to steal Rias from me."
A man dressed in a red suit stood there. His outfit was worn carelessly, with no tie and his shirt unbuttoned at the chest. Appearing to be in his twenties, he looked at Blake with an amused expression, a playful smirk tugging at his lips.
Surrounding him were fourteen beautiful girls of varying appearances, exuding an air of decadence and luxury.
"Riser Phenex."
Rias spoke his name with an unmistakable tone of disdain.
"Ah, Rias. I’ve come to take you home."
With that, Riser casually walked over, intending to touch Rias’s face in front of everyone.
"You’re a bit too bold, don’t you think? Trying to touch my girlfriend’s face right in front of me."
In the next instant, Blake appeared before Riser with astonishing speed, grabbing his hand firmly. His expression was ice-cold.
At that moment, the tension in the room reached its peak.
