King Of Seven Realms - Volume 5 Chapter 119 A Pawn?

Looking outside the window, Wang Lei could see the sun setting. He looked down at his lap, at little Akeno, who was breathing gently, already off to her dreamland.

‘Should I train her?… I think I should.’ Wang Lei thought as gently caressing her head, making her purr in pleasure.

On the other side, he could see Shuri and Akeno having tea and snacks to pass time and talking from time to time. Mostly about Shuri’s experience after she left the Himejima clan.

MEOW~

Kuro purred on Wang Lei’s lap, gaining Wang Lei’s attention towards the black feline. Smiling, Wang Lei gently strokes her smooth soft fur and wondered how long will this Youkai act like a cat.

He wondered if this cat still thought that he was unaware of her presence and did not find out about now who she was. He has already guessed who she is though.

I mean, it was not that hard as every person, who has watched DxD or read it’s fanfiction, could easily deduce the identity of the black two tails cat. And he was sure many people would die to have her too. Who would not want a cat Youkai cuddling with them?

If only humans in his previous life invested in the cat girl project…

Looking back at the moon, Wang Lei enjoyed the silence that the night provided him. Being a Primordial Vampire, he really felt calm at night. As if he was supposed to be awake and active at night. He knew it was a trait because of his Primordial Vampire’s bloodline, but sleeping was one of the things he liked too much — definitely not going to stop doing it.

SHRING~

Just then, a crimson magic circle forms in the center of the room, taking everyone’s attention towards it.

It seems like to avoid any complications, Suzaku had deployed the magic circle directly inside the guest room.

An abstract symbol was drawn on the magic circle — those with knowledge could tell that it was the symbol of the Gremory Family from the underworld.

A moment later, two figures form above the magic circle. One short and the other tall, a girl and an old man.

The girl had long red hair, silky smooth white skin, red eyes. Her face had slight baby fat, making her look quite cute with how serious she looked…or at least tried to look on, but failed miserably due to her slightly chubby face.

The other person was a gentle-looking old man with a dandy white beard and hat.

It was none other than Rias Gremory and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa — Bishop of Sirzech Lucifer.

Wang Lei stared at little Rias with interest in his eyes. She was looking around the room, examining the interior and its inhabitant.

After checking everyone, her eyes land on Wang Lei. Though she was not sure, she felt like. She should stay away from Wang Le, or she would be trapped in some kind of abyss from which she will never be able to escape.

But the same could not be said for Heinrich; his eyes were serious when he gazed at Wang Lei. He felt terror. He did not know the reason for that, but his blood of the devil was screaming to him not to mess with this young man. He was giving him the same or even worse feeling than his lord and master, Sirzech! Something that made him really confused as he could not feel anything special from this person, except that he had Youkai as his pet.

“Rias, you are here.” Suzaku gently said smiling.

Turning her attention away from Wang Lei, who was smiling the whole time, Rias smiled and nodded.

“Sorry if I was late. Brother wanted me to bring Heinrich as it could get dangerous for me to come alone.” Her childish voice resonates inside the room, a complete contrast as to her appearance as it was not something you would hear from a child. Her composure really matched an a.d.u.l.t, but maybe because she wanted to act like one.

Gently shaking her head, the raven head said, “It’s alright. I know how much your brother cares about you. He loves his sister after all.”

Rias giggled hearing it — a melody to hear.

“Onii-sama really does cares a lot about me. But sometimes it gets annoying.” She honestly presented her thoughts.

Rias and Suzaku have been in contact with each other for a year or two, enough for both of them to know about each other characters. They were like friends due to being in contact with each other for a year. And being the sister of Maou and heir of the Himejima clan played a vital role in it.

Suzaku also giggled slightly, hearing her. After some talk, she pointed her finger at Shuri, who has been smiling the whole time, making it really hard for a person to tell what she was thinking currently.

“She is my aunt, Shuri Himejima. Also, the mother of Akeno Himejima there.” The young buxom pointed her finger at Akeno, who was rhythmically breathing on Wang Lei’s lap, asleep.

Rias nodded and then looked at Wang Lei, obviously waiting for Shuzaku to introduce the young man to.

“…He is Wang Lei. The person who saved aunt Shuri and Akeno from the assassination.” After a slight pause, Suzaku said. She was not sure whether to introduce him without his permission or not; who knew if he wanted to hide his identity. But since Wang Lei did not say anything, she took it as an agreement for her to introduce him.

Rias was surprised to hear it. She could not feel anything from the young man in front of her, making him quite mortal in her eyes with no special talent except for his perfect jade-like face. Her curiosity rose. This man was definitely not normal, something she found intriguing.

Seeing her examining him, Wang Lei smirked, “Oya~, such a young girl are you and yet to check a male so blatantly, did no one thought you to not do that to a stranger, little girl?”

Rias frowned, hearing him. It was the first time for her to hear someone talking to her like that. Mostly would not after knowing her status as the little sister of the Maou.

“But, don’t worry, I am professional at ‘teaching’ little girls about etiquette. After spending some time with me, you will become a splendid lady.” He fufu laughed after saying that.

Rias shivered, seeing his smile.

Heinrich hurriedly blocked in front of Rias as if protecting her, making both Rias, Suzaku, and Shuri frown.

Rias frowned at Heinrich’s unusual behavior. She knew he would never do anything if it was not related to her health, so it can be interpreted that he thought Wang Lei was a dangerous individual.

While Shuri and Suzaku frowned as, for both of them, he was a benefactor. They would not feel good if was insulted in any way.

“Who are you?” Heinrich asked cautiously. He just could not get rid of the feeling he was having no matter what.

With the brow slightly raised, Wang Lei said with an amused smile, “Now that’s a question that I have been wondering for such a long time. I have many guesses though, do you want to hear them?”

Heinrich frowned, hearing his answer. Wang Lei did not know about his identity? Does he have amnesia or something? was what Heinrich thinking.

“I am not playing games with you sir, but if you please identify yourself, it would be appreciated. I am Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, Bishop of Sirzech-sama — the Maou!” Heinrich introduced himself as a form of courtest and hoped for Wang Lei to reply with the same.

With the same amused smile, Wang Lei spoke, “Hmm, it is nice to meet you, little Heinrich. As for who I am, did little Suzaku not explain it? I am Jiang Wang Lei.”

Heinrich, who still got no info out of him, wanted to speak again but was blocked by Rias, “Heinrich, it is rude to ask a person’s personal information!” Though she was interested in Wang Lei’s information, it was obvious that he was playing with them and was not willing to explain more than his name.

CLAP CLAP CLAP

“Well said, little girl. You should not seek what you cannot digest. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss, after all.” With the same amusing smile, Wang Lei stated while clapping.

Rias templed twitched, but then she thought of asking him to become her peerage member. He looked strong, and most importantly, mysterious. She could tell that he would become a great member of her peerage.

“Say, do you want to become part of my peerage?” Rias asked.

There was silence in the room after her question with everyone looking at Wang Lei, who suddenly started to laugh.

Rias frowned, seeing him laughing.

“Why are you laughing? Did I say anything funny?” It was really making her annoyed, seeing Wang Lei laughing at her.

Suzaku worriedly looked at them, same with Shuri. While Heinrich had the same serious eyes watching Wang Lei.

“Hahaha! Sorry, sorry… Just that, it was too funny for me. You said you want me to become part of your peerage, right?” Controlling his laughter, Wang Lei asked.

Though irritated, Rias nodded her head.

From an amusing smile, Wang Lei smirked and said, “Why not? Only if you can, that is. But if it’s too simple, it would make things too boring. Don’t you think so?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s simple! You can use as many pieces you have on me, and TRY to make me a devil. But here’s the twist, if you are not able to make me part of your peerage, then you will become mine.” Wang Lei smirked. He knew that the number of pieces a servant uses depends on how much potential he/she has. It was particularly impossible to make him part of the peerage; if the [King] is at least not as strong or even stronger than him — at least a Primordial entity.

Rias blushed hearing him, unlike that of her age. {You will become mine!} Those words rang in her mind. She had been proposed many times before — quite normal considering that she was the little sister of Maou, and also quite beautiful for her age — but for some reason, when Wang Lei said that, she felt different.

Suzaku frowned hearing him.

“T-to propose me like this, you pedo!” Even though she acted like an a.d.u.l.t, in the end, she was still a little girl who had never experienced anything related to love. It was obvious that she was fl.u.s.tered.

“Hm? Pedo?” Wang Lei had his lips twitched, hearing her. It was the first time someone has called him one. “You seem to misunderstand me. By becoming mine, I meant this.” Wang Lei said and made a gripping motion in the air. A [Pawn]? piece formed in his hands, silver in color.

Both Rias and Heinrich, even Suzaku, had their eyes opened wide. It was known that only the devil can use Evil Pieces, and Wang Lei having one can only mean that he was also a devil, a High-Class at that!

“How?! Are you a devil from 72 pillars?!” Rias asked, her voice quite raised due to the shock she was having currently.

“No, no, no.” Moving his finger right and left, Wang Lei continued, “Who said that only devils can use Evil Pieces? I was bored, so I thought of using it; that’s all. Also, please do not compare me with half products like yourself. It is the same as insulting me.” His bloodline made him quite prideful when it came to his race. He wouldn’t want himself to be compared to some defective products that have so many weaknesses.

“Who are you calling defected product?!” Rias’s voice rose. Even Heinrich was mad at him for calling them defective.

“You devils, of course. Having weakness against Holy Water, Light Magic, cross, can’t it get more cliched than this?” Wang Lei said, making both Heinrich and Rias mad. He was blatantly insulting them, but they could not retort as what he said was the truth.

“So? Are we doing it or not?”

“Humph! Why not? I will teach you to never look down on devils!” Rias spoke with her chest puffed out.

Wang Lei nodded, seeing how cute she looked. He really wanted to cuddle with her, but before that, he had to make her his.

“You cannot, Young Miss! Sirzech-sama has sent me to protect you. This person is abnormal. Betting with him might not result in good.” Heinrich tried to stop Rias from doing the bet. Wang Lei was just too unpredictable in his eyes.

“…um…what is going on, brother Wang Lei?” Akeno, who woke up with all the voice, cutely rubbing her eyes asked.

Gently rubbing her head, Wang Lei said, “Nothing. Why don’t you go to your mother? Brother need to colle-I mean, get you a sister!”

Suzaku and Shuri were looking at him with questionable looks.

Looking back at Rias, Wang Lei waited for her.

Rias ignored Heinrich’s warning and walked in front of Wang Lei. She took out her strongest piece at the start — [Queen]!

“You will become my servant from now on!” Rias said, filled with confidence, and pushed the piece towards Wang Lei. But to her, and everyone’s surprise, it did not even enter inside him.

Smirking, Wang Lei said, “Heh! It seems like you are not worth to make me your servant, little Rias.”

Rias was surprised that she could not make Wang Lei part of her peerage. It only meant two things, Wang Lei’s potential was beyond her or that he was at God’s level already!

“My turn then.” Before Rias could do anything, or Heinrich stops Wang Lei — his hand was already touching her chest, sinking the Evil Piece [Pawn] inside her.

Magic circles blooms below stunned Rias as she felt energy completely new to her entering her body. Her whole body structure started to change. She could tell that her body was becoming stronger with each passing second.

A moment later, the whole process finished leaving stunned Rias still standing in front of Wang Lei.

Picking her up, and placing her on his lap, Wang Lei hugged her.

“Hehehe~, now you are mine, little Rias. You cannot escape now.”

Her face becomes the same as her hair, crimson. She could not believe what was happening. She came here to get herself a member of the peerage, and now she has become someone else peerage.

A pressure dropped on Wang Lei as Heinrich looked at him. His fist clenched tight. He could not believe that he let his Young Miss, sister of Maou and the heir of Gremory house, to become someone else’s servant.

“Leave Miss Rias this moment!”

Wang Lei waved his hand, “You can leave now, old man. There is no need for you. Go and tell Sirzech that little Rias will stay with me for a year. Also,” He looked at the old man and smirked, “Tell Grayfia that the moment I met her she should be ready as I might ‘eat’ her.”

Heinrich’s eyes widen to extreme hearing him. His steps staggered as he felt on his butt, an unsightly sight that he had never shown to anyone. But Wang Lei’s word surprised him that much.

“What happened Heinrich?!” Rias asked worriedly, but being hugged by Wang Lei, she could not leave.

Heinrich did not listen to her, but his finger pointed at Wang Lei, “You! Don’t tell…you are that person!?”

“Oh~, it took you some time to know me. But I am surprised that people still remember me. I thought I would be forgotten by now.”

Hearing Wang Lei’s word, Heinrich almost pissed his pants when he realized the person sitting in front of him was. The Oroboros dragon Ohpis was a kid compared to the person in front of him!

Heinrich hurriedly kneeled in front of Wang Lei, “Please forgive this little devil, Your Excellency!”

A frown took over Wang Lei’s face, “Don’t call me that. I hate that title. Call me Wang Lei, Lei’er, Young Master, or Young Noble. Anything you see fit.”

“Then please forgive me, Young Master!”

Wang Lei nodded and accepted his apology and waved his hand, “You can excuse yourself…also, send Koneko here too.” He spoke. He did not forget the cute loli cat.

Kuro’s ears perked when she heard Koneko’s name. Suddenly, she felt Wang Lei gently stroking her head, “It is alright, leave it to master.” Her cat eyes widen, hearing him. It was obvious that he knew her identity.

MEOW

She licked Wang Lei’s fingers, showing gratitude. Though Kuro did not know the reason, she felt safe near Wang Lei. As if back to her mother, safe and relax.

Heinrich bowed, “I will inform Sirzech-sama and Grayfia-sama about it.” Finishing, a teleportation magic circle bloomed below him, transferring away. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience,

“Who are you?” Suzaku asked something that was in everyone’s mind, except Akeno.

“Ma~, who knows? I am still looking for the answer~,” Everyone had their temple twitched.

‘This guy really knows how to make a person annoyed.’

Looking down at Rias, who was sulking about becoming someone else’s [Pawn], caressing her head, Wang Lei said, “It seems that your clan is going to move, little Suzaku. I will ask you, do you want me to ‘clean’ it for you? Or should I just beat the shit out of them?”

Suzaku frowned hearing him, but she understood what he meant when she felt different presences from the outside. After some time, she sighed. “Just don’t kill the young ones…I don’t care about the older generation.”

(AN: I don’t know if Suzaku will say something like that as according to the wiki, she is quite a gentle person. But #$$%# canon!)
