[260] Suffer

Watching Rias, who kept her head down, Sirzechs sighed.

"Rias, I'll ask you one last time, what are your thoughts?"

"I don't know."

"Do you love him?"

"I do, but he..."

Rias hesitated, ultimately feeling a sense of unfairness. Why was she inferior to Sona? Why did August treat Sona better than her?

"If you love him, then fight for him. If you don't, I can help you one last time, even if it costs me my dignity, I can talk to August and annul this engagement. He won't miss just one of you."

"No!"

Without hesitation, Rias immediately refused the proposition.

Sirzechs now had a clearer understanding. His sister loved August but harbored some dissatisfaction, which explained her procrastination.

"Let's go, come with me to meet August."

"But, onii-sama, I..."

"Let's go."

"Yes."

The trio, with Sirzechs and Rias in front, trailed by Grayfia, attracted attention as they walked through the campus corridors, with their fiery red hair standing out.

Meanwhile, Sona led Serafall to the Student Council room. The current members were all out, leaving it empty.

"Onee-sama, what exactly do you want? Isn't finding a boyfriend normal?"

"Sona-chan, he's not a good man; he's engaged to Rias-chan"

"I know."

"He's obviously a womanizer; he'll definitely cheat on you in the future."

"I know."

"He's obviously not a good man; he'll definitely do something to hurt you in the future."

"Onee-sama, how can you tell?"

"Sona-chan~"

Serafall wanted to continue coaxing Sona, but Sona immediately pushed her away.

For the first time in many years, Serafall witnessed Sona truly angry, a feeling reminiscent of when the family pressured her for arranged marriages in the past.

"Sona-chan, I'm only looking out for you."

"Onee-sama, I have one question for you. Do you care about me?"

"Of course, I care about you. I love you the most in this world, I care about you the most."

"Then let me ask you honestly."

"Ask, onee-sama will tell you everything."

"Onee-sama, do you dislike August, or is it that you dislike all the men who come near me?"

Serafall didn't know how to respond to this question because she knew the answer very well.

In Serafall's impression, August wasn't a bad person. In the underworld, as a demon duke with some status, it was expected to have a bit of a reputation. Even her and Sona's father, despite having only one wife, had many mistresses.

Why was the relationship between Sirzechs and Grayfia hailed as a legend in the underworld? It was because they were each other's only partners. For so many years, not a single rumor had emerged about the demon duke.

August looked at Sona in astonishment; he hadn't expected her to ask such a question.

"Onee-sama~"

"Sona-chan, I..."

The two sisters, now facing each other, but the atmosphere turned somewhat ominous.

August knew he had to do something at this moment. If there were any gaps or misunderstandings between the two sisters because of him, it wouldn't be good.

"Alright, you're both sisters; it's only natural for sisters to care for each other."

August walked over at this moment, his words causing Serafall to pause.

She hadn't expected August to help her. After all, she was essentially interfering in his relationship.

"August, you-"

"Alright, she's your sister. She won't harm you."

"But you-"

"I'm a man."

With that simple statement, Sona was deeply moved. He was saying this for the sake of her and her sister's relationship.

At this moment, Serafall didn't know what to say. If she continued to nitpick, she would truly be shameless.

The tense atmosphere instantly eased.

"Oh, by the way, nee-chan, leave Sona-chan to me. Don't worry; I'll treat her well for the rest of my life. By this time tomorrow, I promise you'll be hugging your little nephew or niece."

However, in the next moment, the situation took a sudden turn. August suddenly turned to Serafall.

This caught Sona and Serafall off guard.

"You bastard! Sona is still so young; how dare you make a move on her? Are you even human?"

Serafall pulled Sona into her arms, holding onto her tightly, fearing that August might take her away.

Sona looked at August, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. Big brother, what did you just say? Trying to console my sister, but not like this. If you keep doing this, we might end up fighting whenever we meet.

"Of course I'm not a human, I'm a demon, nee-chan. I'm the last of the House of Demon, and Sona is one of the few pure-blooded devils. Our children will definitely be outstanding in the future."

"Shut up, you motherfucker! And don't call me nee-chan anymore."

"But we're already married. If I don't call you nee-chan, what should I call you?"

Bam!

This thunderbolt struck directly at Serafall's head.

"Sona, you two are already... sob..."

With tears streaming down her face, Serafall burst into tears. Her little bunny had truly been devoured.

"What are you saying?"

Sona also glared at August, then turned to comfort her sister.

August wore a smile on his face. This feeling was truly enjoyable, constantly oscillating between heaven and hell for a siscon.

"Sona-chan, I'm fine. After the baby is born, I'll help you take care of it. You're still in school, you can't be delayed."

"Don't listen to August's nonsense; I'm not pregnant."

"But what about between you and him?"

"That's true."

"Ah!"

Suddenly, they saw a glimmer of hope, only to be thrown back to reality.

The constant ups and downs left Serafall reeling from an unimaginable blow.

Seeing this, August understood that it was about time to put an end to this matter. If they continued, he was afraid he might drive away the Satan.

But even so, Serafall, now holding onto Sona, refused to let go. It had only been a few days, and Sona had been taken away and devoured. She hadn't protected her little sister.
