The love of my life.
This showed Sona's attitude toward Yasuhiro.
It didn't mean the others in the room could accept this explosive news.
"Are you serious?"
Sirzechs's usual easygoing expression vanished.
The others exchanged bewildered glances. Serafall nearly went crazy, she wanted to grind the bastard who had seduced her sister to dust.
"Yes, Lord Lucifer. I swear on the honor of the Sitri can, I'll take responsibility for the words I have spoken at this moment."
"Sona."
Rias looked at her with concern.
As a pure blood devil noble of the underworld, she represented the dignity of the underworld to some extent.
If these words reached the ears of other devils including commoners, they would undoubtedly cause a cataclysmic earthquake.
The idea of a pure blood devil noble becoming lovers with a holy knight was undoubtedly a collapse of their faith and would inevitably lead to greator chaos.
"Do you understand what saying these words means at this moment? It means that you, Sona Sitri have betrayed the underworld, teaching our enemies the core technologies of devils because he is your lover," Sirzechs said in a stiff, reprimanding tone.
Serafall didn't interrupt.
Sona was in the wrong first, and she couldn't argue for her either morally or logically.
Just as Sirzechs said, Sona's actions could be considered as betrayal.
Rias realized she'd greatly underestimated the seriousness of the situation, seeing that Sona's expression was calm, as if she had already foreseen this.
"I'm willing to accept any punishment from the Maous. Even giving up my Sitri name."
Sona knelt on one knee, prepared to accept any punishment.
Rias couldn't understand Sona.
When did she become so extreme, all for someone she'd only known for a little over a month and who was also their enemy?
For them, the most terrible punishment was to be stripped of their name, which meant stripping them of the title they were set to inherit.
Their names would be forever etched on their clan's monument of shame, serving as a warning to future gen.
For those raised with clan honor and mission as their core values, this punishment was unacceptable.
Was it worth it?
Rias didn't understand Sona's feelings for Yasuhiro.
That didn't mean she could simply accept it.
She could view the matter calmly, but her strong dissatisfaction with Yasuhiro kept welling up inside her.
She even suspected that Sona might have been manipulated by the church using mind control or some kind of magic, which was why she uttered such treasonous words.
Many people shared this view, but seeing Sona's clear calm expression, they realized she wasn't being manipulated.
"I bear half the responsibility for this mistake. If it weren't for my peerage, I wouldn't have handed my pieces over to the Church. Therefore, I'm willing to accept the same punishment as Sona."
Like Sona, Rias knelt on one knee, looking as if she were prepared to accept punishment.
"Rias, this is none of your business," Sona hurriedly said, not wanting to implicate Rias because of her own affairs.
"No, this matter arose because of me, so of course I bear some responsibility."
The two girls bowed their heads in remorse and accepted their impending punishment, but this created a difficult situation for the Four great maous.
These two girls weren't ordinary Devils, even putting aside the fact that Sirzechs and Serafall were their older siblings.
They were destined to be the future heads of their respective clans in the underworld, how could their names be stripped away so easily?
If not handled properly, it would inevitably cause turmoil. At the very least, the Gremory and Sitri clans would be the first to fall into chaos, as the two of them were currently considered the only heirs to their respective clans.
"Hmph, are you using your status to coerce us?" Falbium was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
"We wouldn't dare," Rias and Sona said in unison.
"You two may leave now."
Seeing the two idiots, Sirzechs knew that saying anything more right now would be pointless.
"Yes."
Their magical projections disappeared.
"We need to discuss how to control its impact within an acceptable range."
The others nodded in agreement.
No secrets stay hidden forever.
Who knew, the members of the old satan faction might reignite and challenge the authority of their new government.
"I'll give the underworld an explanation regarding Sona's matter. As for her church lover, Sitri clan will handle that mess."
The group nodded in agreement.
It was most appropriate to leave this matter to Serafall and have the Sitri clan handle it. In a sense, it was considered an internal matter for her clan.
...
The human world.
After ending the communication, Rias found Sona on the rooftop of the school building.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing Sona's flowing hair to dance, perfectly complementing her temperament.
Her eyes were fixed on the amusement park that Yasuhiro had taken her to, the turning point in their fate and the beginning of it all.
"Sona, you..."
Sona withdrew her gaze and interrupted Rias.
"Rias, I don't regret it."
"My clan has assigned me other missions and responsibilities, which I accept without hesitation, but my marriage is the one thing I must decide for myself."
"Sona, this is no reason for you to choose someone from the church as your lover, especially someone you have only known for a month at most."
"How much do you really know about him?"
Rias could understand the marriage issue that Sona mentioned, because it was also a problem she was currently facing.
However, this didn't mean she could understand why Sona liked Yasuhiro.
Sona seemed to have read Rias's mind.
"Rias, do you need a reason to like someone?"
Sona's words startled Rias.
Rias opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
[Drop the girls pics, we might need to see her face.]
