Chapter 126: Trouble from the underworld
Kuoh academy.
Inside the council office, all the council members were present except for Yasuhiro.
All the members of orc were also there except for Asia.
Everyone looked rather unwell.
Sona in particular wore an unusually bloodless expression that she had never shown before.
The source of the tension was two strangers who appeared in the office.
They were a man and woman.
"Odsch, Nako, I won't go back with either of you," Sona said.
"When I defeated my former fiancé in the rating game, I clearly declared to the sitri clan that my marriage was my own decision."
"No one else, including my parents and even my sister, can interfere."
Looking at the stubborn girl, Odsch and Nako both showed expressions of helplessness and heartache.
They were the retainers of the sitri clan but in terms of their years of service, they were much older than other servants.
They'd served three generations of the sitri clan heads.
It's easy to imagine how long these two had been with the sitri clan. Sona and her Serafall both grew up under their care.
Therefore, to them, Sona and Serafall were more like their own granddaughters.
Under normal circumstances, they might have proposed a motion favoring Sona at the sitri clan meeting.
Given their influence within the clan, her father would have given it serious consideration.
Moreover, after defeating her former fiancé, Sona had stated that she was free to decide her own marriage and that the clan shouldn't interfere.
This was agreed upon by the head and other high ranking members of the clan.
This intervention could now be considered a unilateral breach of their agreement.
Though, All of that only applied under normal circumstances.
The current situation was completely different.
Moreover, her marriage wasn't only decided by the clan, it also involved the four great maous.
It was all because of Sona.
She was too willful this time.
Even if she'd chosen an ordinary human as her lover, the underworld wouldn't have reacted so strongly. Instead, she chose a member of the church.
He wasn't just an ordinary member, he was a holy knight and a holy sword wielder. And his teacher was Gabriel.
This series of identities caused a massive shockwave in the underworld that was quickly spiraling out of control.
With a proposed marriage between the bael clan and the sitri clan, the rumors that had been suppressed in the underworld were stirred up again, regardless of whether they were fabricated or just baseless gossip.
Now almost all the devils knew that the heir of the sitri clan seemed to have found a church member as her lover.
The resulting turmoil had even somewhat shaken the position of the sitri clan.
Odsch and Nako came here with the purpose of taking Sona back to the underworld for a marriage with the bael clan.
"We're sorry, Sona." Odsch said.
He immediately used magic to restrain Sona and everyone present, including Rias and all the members of the occult research club.
"Odsch, how dare you do this," Sona demanded, her eyes widening as she stared at the man in pure disbelief.
She never expected that he would try to forcibly take her back to the underworld.
Deep down, Sona knew that since Odsch had acted so directly without regard for her status, he must have had the permission of the clan head.
"Retainers of the sitri clan, this matter has nothing to do with me," Rias said somberly.
"You forcibly restrained me, and I expect a satisfactory explanation otherwise it's highly disrespectful to my clan."
"I apologize, Rias," Nako explained.
"We received maou Sirzechs's decree before we came here, instructing us to bring you back to the underworld as well."
Hearing Nako's explanation, Rias felt the color completely drain from her face.
It seemed that her clan didn't want to let her continue like this and wanted to bring her own arranged marriage forward as soon as possible.
