Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

"Then let's meet later, Miss Rias!"

Grayfia bowed gently, smiled slightly, and left here with a dignified posture.

Rias did not turn a deaf ear to Grayfia's words.

She quickly left the training grounds and headed to the bathroom of the Gremory residence.

As a high-ranking noble family among the entire demon race, the Gremory family's food, clothing and daily expenses are extremely luxurious.

In the ancient Roman-style bathroom covering hundreds of square meters, Gremory was helped to wash his body by the maid.

Then she returned to her bedroom, looked at the dazzling array of clothes in the closet, and began to choose in distress.

She ended up choosing a gown that was more of an evening gown, but one that was a little cuter in style.

A fluffy skirt decorated with lace and ruffles was worn on her tender body, and her slender legs were wrapped in white stockings and a pair of small high heels.

Although Rias is still very young, after careful dressing up, her young face already has some feminine charm.

After carefully examining herself in the mirror, Rias turned around like a blooming flower.

As the hem of her skirt fluttered, her thighs wrapped in white stockings were faintly visible under the skirt, exuding a seductive aura. Fortunately, no one else here saw her exposure.

Rias held down her skirt somewhat embarrassedly, no longer as cheerful as a little girl, but becoming calm and elegant.

She called the maid and asked, "...Where is father?"

The maid who walked in folded her hands in front of her and bowed respectfully, "...At this time, the master should be in his study, Miss Rias."

Rias nodded slightly at that and said to the maid, "...Then I will go to the study now."

"Yes, Miss!"

Several maids hurriedly followed Rias, and the group walked through the long corridor, circled the huge mansion twice, and finally arrived at the door of Saigo's study.

Standing in front of the door, Rias took a deep breath, making herself elegant and reserved, with a hint of noble pride, she gently knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A gentle yet majestic voice came from inside the door.

Rias tried to calm her nervous heartbeat. She said in a tender and noble voice, "…It's me, father. Did I disturb your newspaper reading time?"

Rias knew that her father would always spend some time every day reading newspapers published in the underworld.

According to my father, it was just a way to kill time and also a way to think about some problems.

Therefore, most of the time when my father was reading the newspaper, no one would disturb him.

"So that's my little princess. Come in, Rias."

As the voice came, Rias signaled the maids to stand at the door, and she gently opened the door and walked in.

The study room was not very big, and the shelves around it were filled with all kinds of books. Seeing the traces of books being flipped, I knew that my father had read these books himself, and they were not just for display.

Under the windowsill, the pale sunlight from the underworld shone in, casting light on the slender figure sitting on the chair.

At this time, Saigo was wearing a slim-fitting home suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. Although he looked young, he gave people the demeanor of an elegant scholar.

After seeing Rias coming in, Saigo folded the newspaper in his hand and put it down, then spoke in a gentle yet majestic voice:

"...My little princess, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

For some reason, every time Rias saw her father, she always felt her heart beat faster due to nervousness.

The girl tangled her two delicate hands together. She lowered her head and said in a slightly panicked voice, "...No, it's nothing particularly important."

"It's just...just..."

Rias racked her brains to come up with an excuse, but couldn't find anything useful for the time being.

She secretly regretted that she should have found a good excuse before coming to see her father.

When my father asked me this, I really didn't know what to do.

I wonder if my father would be angry when he sees me so helpless.

The more I thought about her, the more irritated I felt, and the more I thought about her, the more confused my mind felt.

Saigo saw the annoyance in Rias's eyes, he waved at her and said: "...My gentle little princess, it seems that you also know that I am very bored now, so you specially come to accompany me."

Although Saigo was very strict in educating Rias, after all, Saigo required Rias to grow up as quickly as possible so that she could inherit another part of his destructive spiritual power.

After all, time is running out, and Shiva may break the seal set by the God of the Bible at any time.

But Rias is also very hardworking. She is not the kind of child who is obsessed with playing with things, but a gentle and serious girl.

Therefore, most of the time, Saigo was also doting on Rias, and only was strict with her when training her.

"Come here, my little princess, let me see if you have grown taller again."

Following Saigo's words, Rias smiled and walked over with dignity.

Looking at Rias, who was wearing a beautiful dress and white stockings on her slender legs, and exuding both innocence and feminine charm, Saigo exclaimed:

"…You are becoming more and more beautiful. No one can ignore your beauty, Rias!"

"When you grow up, everyone will be amazed by you."

Chapter 65: Want to marry my daughter? Impossible!

"You always say such nice things, father."

Rias looked a little naive, her hands folded in front of her, her slender white fingers hooked together.

But looking at the bright smile on her lips, you can tell that she must be in a very happy mood.

"I am just telling the truth. The truth sounds so good. Doesn't it prove the excellence of our little princess?"

Saigo smiled gently and said, "...Today is your birthday, and I want to wish you a happy birthday."

Rias stood quietly in front of Saigo, staring at him with her beautiful big eyes, biting her lips with her pearly teeth, and smiled slyly:

"…Then where is my birthday present, Father?"

Saigo thought for a moment, then he waved to Rias.

Rias curiously rubbed her body forward, getting closer to Saigo.

Saigo then grasped Rias's small, white hand, and used the momentum to pull her young, petite body into his arms.

"ah--"

Rias exclaimed, and then saw Saigo hugging her thin and soft waist. While Rias' eyelashes fluttered, he lowered his head and kissed her gently on the lips.

Rias's pearly teeth were slightly exposed, and her long eyelashes fluttered twice. She closed her beautiful eyes tightly, looking a little embarrassed.

"How about this birthday gift, my princess?"

Saigo said with a gentle smile and winked at Rias.

Rias timidly pushed Saigo's chest with her little hands, then jumped off his legs to the ground.

She used her hands to tidy up her wrinkled dress and pretended to be unhappy: "...This is my new dress, and you messed it up. You are such a jerk to give me such a gift."

Saigo said with a smile: "...Then what gift do you want Rias, and what do you want?"

"Even if you want the moon in the sky, I will pick it down and give it to you."

Saigo's words were not exaggerated or brazen.

But if Rias is willing, he can really pick the moon from the sky, make it into a pendant, and give it to Rias to hang around her waist.

"I don't need those material things, and I don't lack them."

Rias said coquettishly: "...I just want my father to be with me forever. Can you agree to this birthday gift?"

She said it coquettishly in a childish voice that sounded like she was acting coquettish.

Saigo thought for a moment, then he nodded and said, "...I don't want to leave my little princess, so I agree to this request."

"But you have to promise me one thing."

Rias happily held the hem of her skirt and turned around in a circle, performing a ladylike manner and saying, "...Please go ahead, father."

Saigo said solemnly: "... Try to make yourself stronger, Rias. You don't have much time. You only have 10 years at most."

"For a demon, 10 years passes in the blink of an eye. Don't blame me for rushing you. I am just preparing for some things in advance."

Hearing Saigo's serious words, Rias also restrained her smile. She said in a firm tone: "...If this is what you expect, I will definitely fulfill your expectations."

"I'm not forced to work hard, but I want to respond to your expectations."

Saigo smiled again and said, "...You are my blood descendant, I believe you can do it."

"In the coming period of time, you may encounter powerful enemies that you must defeat on your own."

"But you don't have to worry too much, because you will have friends who truly care about you and help you through this difficult time. This is exactly the kind of experience that will train you."

Rias was a little confused about what Saigo said, but she didn't ask any more questions.

Because she knew that if Saigo was willing to talk, he would tell her in detail.

If Saigo didn't want to say it, then no matter how she asked, she would not get an answer.

"Let's go, the dinner prepared for you will start soon. Many important figures from the underworld will come to attend your birthday dinner."

Saigo stood up and stretched out his right hand while saying this.

Rias obediently hugged Saigo's arm and walked out of the study with him like Saigo's female companion.

The many maids at the door hurriedly saluted when they saw the two people come out, and then followed them to the banquet hall.

"The so-called big shots you mentioned, could they be my brothers?"

Rias curled her lips. Although she respected her brother Sirzechs, she didn't respect him as much as she imagined.

After arriving at the banquet hall, Rias discovered that this banquet was really different from what she had imagined. There were actually many upper-class demon nobles at the banquet.

After seeing so many strangers, Rias immediately became steady and elegant, no longer the naughty little girl she was in front of Saigo.

Seeing the arrival of the host, the guests all stared at Rias who was dressed in her best. They clapped their hands loudly to welcome the little princess.

As everyone's eyes turned to Saigo, the sound of applause gradually became sparse.

For some reason, no one dared to look Saigo in the eye. Any demon in front of him would feel humbled.

This feeling was clearly wrong, but no one thought about it carefully, as if their brains and souls refused to think, and everyone became dull.

Saigo nodded and signaled to the demons, and Grayfia, the head maid, had already arranged all the work.

After completing these preparations, Grayfia came to the left rear of Saigo.

Saigo's right hand was tightly held by Rias, and on his left hand stood the respectful head maid. He led the two of them among the guests and introduced the origins of these people to Rias.

When they came to a young demon and two young demons, Saigo introduced them to Rias: "...This is the successor of the Phoenix family, Leval Phoenix."

The young Phoenix successor lord quickly bowed respectfully and said, "... Greetings to you, Lord Saigo and Miss Rias."

"I'm sorry that my parents are not in the underworld because of something. I am the only one who came to Ms. Rias's birthday party with my third brother and youngest sister."

"Raiser, Ravel, why don't you say hello to Saigo-sama?"

Following Leval's words, a blond and rebellious boy who was older than Lias, and a little girl who was younger than Lias, both greeted Saigo.

Rias also politely returned the greeting.

Levar Phoenix then said, "...Sir Saigo, what do you think of the proposal my parents made in the letter?"

Leval asked a little nervously.

Saigo looked at the rebellious blond young man and shook his head, "...The Phoenix family wants to form an alliance with the Gremory family?"

"But this boy is not worthy of my precious princess. Besides, demons may not care about the issue of seniority, but Rias is of the same generation as your parents."

Levar Phoenix was a little embarrassed by Saigo's unhesitating rejection, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, the Gremory family now holds great power in the underworld, and no demon dares to force the Gremory family.

Although Leval had long known that the possibility of his parents' proposal succeeding was very low, he could only sigh secretly when he was rejected so ruthlessly by Saigo.

But it was true. His brother was useless and didn't look like he was worthy of the princess of the Gremory family. It was natural that he was rejected.
