Hello everybody, names Alex, or Ronin. Some of you may know me as author of Rise of Devil Emperor, which is actually my prime work and one that I am proud of most. Some of you may have read it and those who did know that I have a reputation of completely and utterly destroying the Gremories as characters, for which I am not apologizing. However, if you think that I simply hate them all, then you would be wrong, because I do like them, at least three of them. Sirzechs, Millicas and Grayfia are in my personal Top 15 Favorite Characters in DxD, but I don`t really like Rias, for her attitude, manipulative nature and how she really simply can`t accomplish anything without mentioning her status or using it, along with her peerage.

So, for a while, I have been thinking about a new story within the DxD. Sorry, my readers, but Rise of Dragon Emperor is on long hold until I sort out all my plans for it and there is even a possibility of it being canceled. I`ll inform you if anything happens.

Instead returning to my usual deconstruction of name of Gremory and their members, I`ve decided to do something far more exciting and interesting- I`ll make them look good! Well, not all of them (I still really don`t like Rias that much, always for Akeno and Sona, not her), but those that are in my personal list are included.

This is an OC story, with OC being inspired from my earliest work on Fanfiction, The Black Reaper. This time, we are going to have not a member of Rias` peerage teaching her, but a member of her own family. And he is ain`t buying any of her shit and he isn`t into her manipulating and bossing around everyone, while also playing busty innocence. This dude has pride in himself as a real true Gremory.

The events are set just before Issei got a case of backstabbing girlfriend-turned-hot-as-hell-Raynare.

Oh, and a side note: he doesn`t have a Power of Destruction, but he does have the Power of Gremory clan. Will be revealed in later chapters.

Have a nice readying!

Occult Research Club.

Rias Gremory, Heiress to the House of Gremory, one of the most beautiful young ladies of Kuoh Academy and Underworld itself, scion her house, was currently having a not very pleasant conversation with her older brother, current Lucifer, Sirzechs Lucifer, along with her father, Zeoticus Gremory. And to say that this was a talk she didn't wanted to have, would be a huge understatement, for they were discussing Rias` status as a governor of Kuoh. Right by her side, were the members of her peerage, Akeno Himejima, Koneko Toujou and Yuuto Kiba, who were also listening to this discussion and answering the questions if they were asked to.

Apparently, someone from the Devils` society has been spreading rumors about Rias` way of governing Kuoh and how lax and irresponsible she was at, leading to some older Devils questioning her and her family about the decision of putting her in charge of that area. There were even talks about removing her from the said position and handing this region to someone with far more experience and responsibility, which wasn`t something that Rias, and her friend Sona Sitri, wanted. They were perfectly fine with the way they were handling things here and having someone of the higher ups poking nose into their dealings would ruin their little personal kingdom they`ve set up here. Zeoticus and Sirzechs also didn`t wanted that, not just because they knew it would upset their dear Rias, but also because it could undermine the position of House of Gremory in Devil`s society. And if the new ruler would be set here, then it most certainly would be someone from the powerful and controlling clan, like Belial or Bael, which wasn`t something that they all would like to have.

And so, Rias spoke to her father.

"Let me get this straight: I`m not handing over the government of this town to anyone." Rias stated firmly. "I don`t know who spreads those rumors, but I`m sure this is all done to undermine my position. I wouldn`t be surprised if it was Riser`s doing or someone of his House." Rias was actually seriously considering it to be a plot of her future fiancée, for he was pressing the matter more and more each day.

"Rias, please refrain from accusations without any solid proof on hand." Zeoticus recommended his daughter. "We are already in a complicated situation because of these rumors. Accusing respectable members of other Houses, plus your own fiancée would only serve to further complicate the matter and undermine our position. I and your mother would prefer to settle this without any further difficulties and complications, and I believe you as well, would like to avoid this."

"And how do you propose we deal with this mess? Make a public statement?" Rias asked serious.

"That would be pointless." Sirzechs spoke up. "The rumors are circulating not in the common masses, but in higher society, among the Houses and its members. Simple public speech would only confirm the suspicions of all the other Houses. To put these rumors to rest, they require solid proof of efficiency of your government."

"Then we must give them this proof." Rias said. "I could send out my reports or have Akeno attest, along with Sona. I`m sure she and Tsubaki would vouch for me, if I asked them to do so."

"We are ready to speak up if needed." Akeno supported the idea. "Kiba and Koneko are also ready to stand up for our King." The two nodded to that.

"Sweetheart, this would be pointless, because having members of your Peerage speaking out in your defense would only serve to further undermine your position, because it is Peerage`s responsibility to protect their King and uphold their position." Zeoticus explained, turning to Rias` Peerage. "I appreciate your loyalty to Rias and our House, but this isn`t something you can solve yourselves. Fortunately, there is a solution that we have managed to come up with that will settle these rumors for good."

"What kind of a solution you are talking about, father?" Rias questioned.

"Heads of the Houses and their members respect the word of those certain individuals that have a considerable weight in all that they say and do." Sirzechs reminded Rias one of the fundamental lessons about Devils` society. "As such, if a High-Class Devil, not associated with Kuoh and your government of this area, would observe and provide his word as the necessary proof that everything is alright in your area, then those that spread those rumors will have to shut up. And for these reasons, along with several other important factors, as Great King Lucifer, with permission from Serafall and approval of the Council, I have assigned an official observer to this area for the next 4 weeks. You are to provide him any requested documents or proof that he might need."

"That`s an entire month! I don`t want some middle-aged nobleman breathing down my neck and telling me just how he and his clan would run things here." Rias protested, sighing.

"Careful, Rias. Grayfia, Serafall and Ajuka, not mention I personally, trust him with our lives." Sirzechs warned her with serious demeanor, getting Rias` and her Queen`s attention. "Not to mention that he is also the only Devil to have lived in Kyoto with Youkais for 15 years already and is engaged to Yasaka`s daughter, Kunou." Sirzechs said with a bit of smile and gleam in his face, seeing as Rias` eyes have widened.

"No… You can`t be serious…" Rias said with not believing voice.

"Oh yes, I am." Sirzechs` smile grew larger. "Corvus is coming to Kuoh. I am sure that he will be arriving shortly, after he settles things with Yasaka and his lovely bride. You know how much he loves Kunou and when I first asked him of this favor, he actually refused because of her, but I`ve managed to convince him, though barely. He can be just as stubborn as his mother, my son, can`t he?"

Rias` worst fear came to be a reality. She most certainly did not want this to happen, but now it was happening. Any other option, in Rias` opinion, would be better then he, even Riser, for Rias knew how to handle her fiancée, at least for a little duration of a time, but

Corvinus Gremory, older son of Sirzechs Lucifer and Grayfia Lucifuge, older brother to Millicas Gremory, her nephew and a former Heir to the House of Gremory… was coming to Kuoh, to basically serve as her overseer. Known as Corvus "Bloodraven" Gremory to the most, he is nothing like most of todays` High-Class Devils in many different ways and that`s not just because of him being a son to the Strongest Devil in existence and The Strongest Queen. Born 21 year ago, Corvus was the original Heir of Gremory, but he was deprived of such status, after Rias` birth 4 years later, by the decision made by her father and mother. The main reason for his subsequent removal was his apparent lack of magical abilities and the fact that he didn`t inherited Power of Destruction from his father, like he did from their mother. Because of that, he was considered to be a failure as a Devil and removed from the line of succession completely, despite the fact that it actually worsened relations between Venelana, Rias` mother, and Grayfia, Corvus` mother, as Grayfia seriously considered it to be Venelana`s affair, for she, as a former Bael, saw in Corvus a failure and used it to make Rias an Heiress. After that, Corvus was seemingly removed from the spotlight of nobility, but that didn`t mean that he lost the love of his parents, not even after he willingly decided to stay in Kyoto.

When he was 6 years old, members of Old Satan Faction, have managed to kidnap Corvinus and they`ve brought him into Kyoto, where they believed they would be safe from Sirzechs` and Grayfia`s wrath, until they would get what they`ve wanted from Crimson Satan. However, what they didn`t account for was Youkai Faction of Kyoto, which quickly detected the presence of Devils and quickly eliminated them from the face of the earth, rescuing Corvinus and brining him to Yasaka and Shinto Gods, that were visiting the place. As a jest of good will, Sirzechs and Grayfia were able to immediately inform of Corvus and allowed to take him back home, but, due to unknown to Rias reasons, Corvus, with the permission of Sirzechs and Amaterasu, was allowed to stay in Kyoto, with Yasaka and Kunou. After that, Corvus basically became an outcast of High-Class Devils` society and most of the Underworld, for he visited the household 2 or 3 times per year and never stayed for more than a couple of days. And while he was there, he spent most of his time on his own and doing something his own, instead of catching up with grandfather and grandmother and Rias. And he was always really private and secretive about what he was doing and how he was doing in Kyoto, at least, with Rias and her parents. That attitude and the fact that Corvus had almost, if any, no respect or sibling love towards Rias for various reasons, ranging from her being, in his words, a spoiled princess, to the fact that during the announcement of his engagement with Kunou a year ago, Rias made Kunou almost a laughing stock of Devils` society, when Heiress decided to tell a couple anecdotes about Youkais to some of her friends, thinking that it would make people feel a little more relaxed. That was enough for several High-Class Devils to pick on Kunou and her mother for them being "just animal girls, drooling over handsome men, such as Devils". This was enough for Corvus and his fiancée to leave the party, followed shortly by Yasaka and her escort. Soon after that, Rias received an earring from her brother and father, and then followed by Grayfia and her punishment, for she and Sirzechs were fully in support of their son and his actions.

Personally, Rias believed that Corvus had very little to nothing of a true Devil in him, for he willingly distanced himself from Devils` society, abandoned his lineage as a Devil and basically became a puppet of Youkais and Shinto Gods. Rias didn`t even know if he had a Peerage, but suspected that he didn`t have one, for a betrayer of Devils` customs didn`t deserve one. Rias couldn`t wrap it around, just how in the world was he someone worthy of 4 Great Devil Kings` respect and trust, especially considering the fact that he was basically an ally to Shinto Faction and lived with them for well over 15 years. Why would he be given a position of her observer was beyond Rias.

She looked at her brother`s hologram and spoke up.

"Brother, you and I know that Corvus has absolutely no respect or love for me." Rias reminded to Sirzechs. "He`ll surely just use his position to sack me and have me removed in a matter of days. Heck, the moment he steps in Kuoh, he`ll just hand this place over back to Shinto Gods and…"

"RIAS!" Sirzechs shouted threateningly directly at his little sister, for the first time, feeling insulted by such words. "This attitude of yours and your disrespectful manner to speak about Corvus is something I truly hate to see you display. If anything, my son deserves yours and your Peerage`s respect, so I suggest you show it to him when he arrives. And if I hear even a hint of you or any members of your Peerage disrespecting Corvus or his fiancée in any insulting manner, like at the announcement party, then I`ll personally order Grayfia to educate you in proper etiquette and manners. And trust me, not even our mother will save you from this." Sirzechs warned her with full seriousness. "Now, with you informed, this conversation is over. I expect to hear good news soon, Rias, so true your best. Until later." With that said, Sirzechs disconnected, followed soon, by his father.

Rias kicked back in her chair and sighed in defeat, understanding that she will now have to deal with one of the few people that she couldn`t completely control or manipulate to any extent. Seeing that, Kiba decided to ask right away.

"President, do you really think that Corvus would actually use his position to do just that?" Rias` Knight asked her directly. "I mean, he is the firstborn of Sirzechs and he has the trust of Satans with him. Wouldn`t it be stupid to actually doubt their wisdom?"

"Kiba, it`s not really the matter right now." Rias looked at her Knight. "What really matters is that Corvus is anything but a standard High-Class Devil. If anything, I know almost nothing about him, safe for his apparent love of Kunou, him being discarded as an Heir and a bit unorthodox choice in clothing. Aside from that, one thing is absolutely clear to me, is that he doesn`t respect me in the slightest, or even like me."

"Perhaps, Sirzechs is trying to fix your relations this way?" Akeno suggested. "He is your brother and loves you dearly, Rias, but he is also Corvus` father and obviously he would love his son. Seeing you two in such poor relations probably makes him sad."

"Well, if anything, it is Corvus` fault, not mine." Rias stated. "He has had more than enough time to actually patch things up between us, but he simply decided not to do so. Probably because he thinks he is better than me."

"Or maybe because I simply didn`t give a damn about it?" Suddenly, a strong and calm voice came into the room, surprising everyone, including Koneko, who was munching her snacks just a moment before and now was looking around, like the rest of the group. "Has it never occurred to you, Rias that I had much more important things to take care of, instead of wishing to get your approval?" At that moment, Rias rose from her chair and started looking around, until she and the rest of Occult Research Club noticed a red glowing magical circle on ground, but without Gremory symbol.

Instead, it had an emblem of a red raven in the flight. A signature circle of Bloodraven, from which emerged a person. It was a tall young looking man, dressed in long black marine coat, ornamented with dark red features on the sleeves and having the same symbol as on the circle on his back. The inside of his coat was red, same as ornaments, while underneath the coat he was dressed in a vest with a white shirt, with white pants, geld by decorated black belt and tucked in his black boots. On his sides, he had two long katanas, with white and black hilts, along with another one, situated on his back, but covered up by a shroud of mystical origin. And on his head was a wide-brimmed black hat, with several long raven feathers on its side and with a unique brim of his hat, that actually becomes angular and goes a little down in the front, creating an homage to raven`s beak. And underneath this hat was a face of young, handsome looking man with steal white eyes, akin to his mothers, short crimson hair, with a bangs on the side, and a face almost completely copying Sirzechs, but at the same time having little in common with Rias` features. This man was emitting an aura of respect and dignity, while also showing a seemingly laid-back disposition and having a bit of a cocky smile on his face.

Everyone in the room knew this face, face of Corvinus "Bloodraven" Gremory. Corvus looked around and spoke up.

"Well, long time no see." Corvus greeted them all, tipping his hat with a finger upwards a little. "Though I would prefer it was longer."

"Greetings to you as well, Corvinus." Rias decided to play it nice, smiling to him. "I hope your trip from Kyoto has been nice."

"Oh, drop the act, princess." Corvus said with no regards, surprising Rias and the others. "After everything that you`ve said about me to gramps and dad just a couple of minutes ago, do you really think that I`ll buy into this entire act?"

Rias and her Peerage were completely shocked to hear that he basically heard the entire conversation she just had with her father and brother. She and others couldn`t wrap it in their heads, just how in the world was Corvus able to get in here and remain undetected by any of them all this time. Rias quickly regained her composure.

"I suppose not, although it was worth trying." She reasoned. "Being polite is a common trait in most of the civilized races, as you may`ve heard. I would`ve thought that priestesses have taught you at least that." She made a snarky remark to him.

"Hm, yeah, I think I`ve heard about it, though sincerity is far more valuable, in my opinion. And Yasaka-sama, along with Amaterasu-sama, also value sincerity and truth over false beauty of politeness." Corvus didn't lose his smirk. "Though, I never pictured you to possess either of the two traits, seeing how you prefer to address people without consideration." Corvus answered back, making Rias growl a little. "And, pardon me if I am wrong, is it normal for civilized girls to sleep completely exposing their dignity and virtue like a certain type of people I`ve heard so much about? Because if that`s the case, then I`ll prefer to remain a barbarian, with this obsolete decency and ridiculous modesty."

"Of all the traits, modesty seems to be the last thing I would associate you with, my dear nephew." Rias wasn`t going to lose. "After all, isn`t this whole outfit screams of attention, Mihawk?

"That, my dear little auntie, is a phenomenon known as individual style of a person." Corvus answered back with a smirk. "Something that does demand attention, but also make man in the eyes of others. In your case, however, it says nothing but one thing to most of the world."

"Oh, and what would that be?" Rias do would like to know. "No, let me guess. Sophistication?"

"Nope, more like: "Available for the night." Now Rias really got angry. "The only detail missing is a phone number and you can make a solid living."

"Enough! How dare you to insult President is such a manner?!" Kiba was seriously pissed and summoned up his Holy Eraser, standing in front of Corvus.

"Well, how would you want me to insult her? I take requests." Corvus didn`t even budge, even when Holy Eraser tip was just 1 cm away from his neck. "How about… Her attire looks like something directly out of the sex shop in Tokyo for cosplayers; her skirt is in the category micro, because mini is too long for it and too modest; her shirt is about to bust open because of lack modesty and bra on its wearer; her hair look so crimson because of the fact that they actually know shame. Does that sound better to you, Prince Charming?" Corvus asked Kiba, seeing how he was about to blow with anger, along with Rias.

"I give you one chance to apologize to my King, because if you don`t, I shall strike you will all my righteous fury and I don`t care if you are a son of Great King Lucifer himself." Kiba warned Corvus. "That is not the way to treat an Heiress to the House of Gremory."

"Really?" Corvus made a surprised face and looked around, as if looking for something. "Sorry, but could you point me at any Heiresses I may`ve insulted here? `Cause the only one I see here is a Prince Charming, aka wanna-be-avenger-because-Excalibur-broke-my-life; a little white mascot kitty cat; a BDSM miko cosplayer with a couple feathers she is trying to hide; and on top it all off is a high-school prima donna with a douchbag of a fiancée, whose ego is bigger than my hat can hold. Care to take a guess who`s ego I mean right now?" Corvus smirked again.

And at that moment, when Kiba heard of the damned Excalibur, he snapped. With a roar and scream, he decided to strike down the infidel and he didn`t even give a damn that it was Sirzechs` son. In one second, he swung his sword and it went right at his darned throat. Only… it didn`t reach its target, being stopped by something. And when Kiba looked at what had stopped his Holy Eraser, his shock and terror knew no bounds, for Corvus Gremory stopped his best sword… with a pinky of his left hand. Casually moving the hand to the left, along with a sword, Corvus looked at shocked Kiba and spoke up.

"Ever heard about a pinky promise, Charming?" Corvus asked him. "Well, looks like your sword wants to make one with me. Why don`t I indulge it? And with that, Corvus` pinky, moved to the edge of the blade and he broke the blade when he folded his finger. "Aw, now that`s a shame. I really wanted to make a pinky promise with him. And now it`s broken." Corvus made a sad face, irritating Rias to the end.

"Are you done?!" Rias shouted at him, getting a victorious smirk from him. "Just how the hell did you do that?! You are no Sairaorg to break swords like that!"

"Rias, if you think that that was me trying to impress you, then you got it all wrong." With that, Corvus moved to the coach and sat in it. "That was just me teaching your Prince Charming a lesson."

"And what lesson was that?" Kiba asked him, getting scoff from Corvus.

"Well now I am not telling you about it." Corvus proclaimed, surprising everyone. "Figure it out yourself, Charming. And while you are doing that, I and your Donna are going to talk business, bene?" And with that, Corvus turned to Rias, while Akeno poured hot tea into his cup. "Gracias, at least somebody here has a sense to offer up tea." He took a sip and put it back "Not exactly my favorite flavor, but it`ll do."

"Alright, enough with that." Rias was on edge with Corvus. "Corvus, just tell me what the hell do you want?"

"What I want?" Corvus asked again. "Well, right at the moment, I would like nothing more but to be Kyoto, perform tea ceremony with Kunou and share a nice priceless moment of spiritual and emotional closeness, but…" He shrugged his shoulders and sipped more tea. "I was sent here by my boss and now I have to sit here and observe you and Sona going through your school drama days. I can already feel that this is going to a thrilling experience."

"Does that mean that you will be enrolling in Kuoh Academy, Corvus?" Akeno asked with her casual smile and curiosity. "Because if you do, then I would like to offer my assistance in taking your measurements."

"Sorry, miko, but this piece of hard work isn`t on the sale." Corvus said, getting a sad sigh from Akeno. "And no, no way I am going to be enrolling in here. I`m a little old for this place, anyway. Besides, it`s not like I am going to be looking at you make every move. I`ve got more important business to take care here." Corvus took the last sip and looked seriously at Rias and her Peerage, who had the questionable looks on their faces. "Judging by the expressions on your faces, you`ve finally started to understand that I am here not only because of this observation."

Rias looked at her nephew and then finally remembered that Sirzechs has mentioned other important factors involved in sending Corvus into this area. Heiress of Gremory couldn`t help but wonder what reasons would compel Corvinus to leave Kyoto and head right here. With a defeated sigh, Rias spoke once more.

"Alright, cut to the chase already. What are you really doing here, Corvus?" Rias asked him directly. "Are you here to see if my Peerage is strong or did Sirzechs put you up to guarding this city?"

"News flash, Rias: world doesn`t move around you." Corvus said with serious tone. "I`ve got no interest in you or your Peerage whatsoever and I most certainly have absolutely no desire to become your personal guard dog and watch over you and your servants. I`ve my own Peerage to take care and while I may be residing in Kyoto, that doesn`t mean that I`m not protecting it. And, if rumors are correct, then I and my team are doing a pretty good job, compared to you and Sona."

"You have a Peerage? That`s something new." Rias said with a chuckle. "And just where are your Servants? Still in the box that Ajuka hasn`t given to you?"

"No, they are on Shikoku, dealing with a cabal of Stray Devils that has been causing a serious ruckus there and even attacked a couple of remote villages." Corvus informed Rias, not budging. "Should be a piece of cake for them to handle, especially after we`ve been through in the past couple of years together. Now, let`s get down to business and I`ll be off to talk with Sona, because this is something you both need to know."

"And what is it?" Rias got serious.

"First of all, this information, under any circumstances, must not leave this room without my say so. Got it?" Corvus saw how the entire group nodded. "Good, I do hope that you will keep that promise, because this is a serious matter of politics and diplomacy I will talk about. Now, with you all listening, I`ll start. A week ago, in Kyoto, lady Yasaka received a letter, meant for her, but addressing me, as a son of Great King Lucifer, informing me of a group of Fallen Angels and Stray Exorcists acting out of the assigned orders and stirring up problems in this particular area. I`ve checked the letter and the hand printing of it, which turned out to belong to Azazel, the man who also sent that letter."

"Why would Azazel, leader of Grigori and Fallen Angles, need to address you of all people?" Kiba asked seriously. "You are, after all, Sirzechs` son."

"Exactly because of that factor, Charming." Corvus continued. "Say whatever you want about Azazel, but he knows how to get a message delivered to a person. And using my unique closeness to Kyoto Youkais was a nice move from his part, informing me and then my father, for I do have a personal contact with him and mother. That letter informed us that this group was assigned as observers and protectors of certain people in this town, who are rumored to possess Sacred Gears in them."

"Do you have any names?" Rias asked him directly, getting a disappointed look from Corvus.

"Do you honestly think that he would share such information with us, Rias? Azazel isn`t that dumb, to openly reveal to us the names of Sacred Gear holders. I expected more from an Heiress." Corvus scoffed. "Anyway, apparently, somebody has informed this group that instead of observation and protection, they are now to either exterminate the confirmed users or extract their Sacred Gears out of them, which means that there is going to be a bloodbath in this town and nearest populated areas. And before you ask, it was checked and there are already a couple dead humans from a village just 6 miles away from this town, confirmed to have possessed Sacred Gears and were killed by a Light-based weapon. So, now you do you get why I was really assigned here?"

"In general terms, yes." Rias said. "So, what is your plan of actions? Assuming you have one, that is."

"That depends." Corvus said vaguely. "If they continue to act as they did in that village, which wasn`t really discreet, then I`ll have no problems intercepting them in no time and preventing civilians from getting hurt. And for that very reason, I expect you to fully cooperate with me and share any information you have on possible holders of Sacred Gear or any Fallen Angels` activity in the area. And because of that, I am asking you: do you have any information on potential Sacred Gear users or Fallen Angels` activity in this area?"

Rias seemingly pondered about it, with Akeno, Koneko and Kiba looking at each other, with questioning looks. After a seeming minute of pondering, Rias gave her direct answer.

"I am afraid that I don`t have any information about any of them." Rias spoke up, getting Corvus to cock up his brow, even though it was coved by shadow of his hat. "The only Sacred Gear user from this area I am informed of is Saji Genshirou, but he has recently been Reincarnated as Sona`s Pawn. Aside of him, me and my Peerage haven`t encountered."

Corvus paid some attention to Rias and her Servants, seeing if she was lying him right in the face, or was sincere. From their faces, it was pretty evident that Rias wasn`t lying, but Corvus` gut and instincts were telling him that there was something going on behind the curtains. He knew of Rias` deceitful and manipulating side, and he honestly hoped that she wasn`t playing trick with him, because this was the mission assigned by Great Kings themselves and there could be no meddling involved. But for now, he had to take on Rias` word on it.

Corvus rose up from his seat and headed towards the doors, his hands in the pockets. Before he stepped out of the cabinet, he spoke up once again.

"For the time being, I`ll reside in this building." Corvus wasn`t going to take no for answer. "We`ll talk after I`ve discussed things with Sona Sitri. See you later." And with that, he left the cabinet, shutting the door behind him.

And with that, all of Rias` servants turned to their King, with Akeno speaking up first.

"Rias, I understand that Corvus isn`t your favorite relative, but he was assigned here by Great King Lucifer himself." Akeno reminded her friend this detail. "Lying directly in his face is a bad decision, in my opinion, because he answers to Sirzechs, and when Corvus finds out that you`ve basically held the important information from him, there will be serious trouble awaiting you."

"Akeno, please." Rias spoke with a carefree smile. "It would only happen if Corvus finds out that we already know about Fallen Angels in this area and that they are already making a move. In fact, now with this information, I can say that now we can safely make our move, concerning Issei Hyoudou and that Fallen Angel girl."

"What do you have in mind, President?" Koneko finally spoke up.

"I`ll send out my Familiar and order him to give one of our flyers to Issei, when he and his Fallen Angel friend will be on the date. Once she does the deed, we will teleport via our flyer and after that we will have a new member of a club." Rias explained the plan. "Corvus will have absolutely nothing to suspect and will have his Fallen Angels to chase after. And if my suspicions about Hyoudou are correct, then Sirzechs will even thank me and will remove his son from here. Now, let us prepare ourselves for an upcoming event."

"President, on an off chance that Corvus does find out about our knowledge of Fallen Angels, what do you expect to do in this situation?" Kiba spoke up.

"Kiba, I thought that you`ve had more faith me." Rias chuckled. "There is no way he`ll find out about and I am confident that once Sona hears about Fallen Angels and Sacred Gear users, she`ll also try and exploit this opportunity, which will keep her mouth shut as well. Plus, even if he finds out about it all, there will be very little he`ll be able to actually do to me. After all, who would believe a word of disgraced outcast, living with Youkais and about to marry one, against a word of Heiress of prestigious House of Gremory, beloved by her parents and her brother?"

It would seem that in whatever story I start up, Rias is always so overconfident in her own abilities and status. Must be a thing of an attitude of mine towards her.

Alright, about Corvinus. Yes, he is engaged with Kunou, who is older than her canon version. And, unlike Rias and Riser, they are deeply in love with one another (which doesn't stop Corvus having several other beauties in love with him, basically having a harem, because Kunou understands and doesn`t stop him from loving those ladies) and it was Corvus proposing to Kunou and went as far as to ask Yasaka of her blessing. Needless to say, she approved, along with Grayfia and Sirzechs.

Now, Corvus does have a peerage. For this time, I am taking ALL suggestions in, from any anime, game, TV or cartoon and films. Recently, I`ve been doing some research on One Piece and thinking on starting to watch it, because the only long-runner I`ve watcher so far was Dragon Ball Z. And, Corvinus` look was heavily inspired by Dracule Mihawk, who is a total badass, from what I`ve read and saw on YouTube.

As for Corvus` status and powers, he is really is a son of Sirzechs, but he was stripped of being an Heir to the House of Gremory when it was discovered that he seemingly didn`t possess Power of Destruction, or any other power at all. Venelana was the one who played her part in it, as she wanted a strong future leader of clan, seeing one in her daughter Rias. As for his powers, I won`t reveal anything right now, but I will say that Corvinus is someone not to be messed with. More in later chapters, as I`ve said.

As for harem, yes, it is included, I am opened up for suggestions. Kunou is in his harem already, under consideration are Akeno, Sona, Kuroka, Xenovia and Raynare.

Let me know your suggestions and if you like Corvus as a character in Review section.
