God Succession System 39 Party

As they flew to the party Alex spent the time talking with Tannin. As they both had a warrior mentality they got along well, and eagerly discussed sparring in the future. They also discussed Tannins reason for becoming a devil, being able to compete in the rating games and acquiring the territory where the dragon apples grow. They eventually arrived at an area for Tannin to land, then took a car the rest of the way. Arriving at the hotel, they took the elevator to the top floor where the party was.

"I thought I was prepared for it, but as I expected a high society party is quite oppressive." Alex said as everyone's eyes went to them as they walked out of the elevator.

"Indeed, well as the heiress of the Gremory family and the red dragon emperor, it's only understandable that we'll attract attention. Lets make the rounds now so that we can get the introductions out of the way." Rias said as she led Alex to the first of the many highs cla.s.s Devils he needed to meet. Though he didn't managed to take Venelana's high society lessons, he at least was able to prevent embarra.s.sing himself and Rias.

After they made their rounds Alex went to get some refreshments, while Rias and Akeno went to talk to some female Devils. Kiba was soon surrounded by fan girls, and Asia, Xenovia, Koneko and Gasper waited around the food table. Ravel was accompanied by a member of her brothers peerage, Isabella. She then came over to greet Alex,

"You look radiant Ravel. " he said in all honesty. Alex had also paid similar compliments to Rias and the others after the situation with Gasper finished. Ravel was beaming at his words, and replied,

"And you look handsome at the moment." Alex decided to tease her for her words a bit.

"So do you mean I'm not usually handsome?" Ravel spluttered at his words as she tried to correct herself, Alex laughed it off and said,

"I'm only teasing you Ravel, thank you for your compliment." Ravel looked pleased at his words, but before she could say anything else she was called away by someone else. Meanwhile across the room, Rias and Akeno were talking with other female Devils.

"Rias tell us about your Alex, i know your in a relations.h.i.+p with him, but I also heard there's others plus he's also engaged to the Pheonix families Ravel."

"What do you expect me to say?" Rias asked with a healthy blush as she already expected what they would ask. Not disappointing her expectations,

"I mean in bed, he already has several women and says he's actively trying for more, does that mean he's quite the monster in bed?" Rias was speechless at her bluntness, though she already expected the question but thought she would have more reservations. Before she could say anything though, Akeno spoke up seemingly without any shyness.

"Well let's just say that going at his own pace all night, three of us weren't enough. We even spent the whole next day and night sleeping it off while he was completely unfazed." Rias's face started to turn Crimson at her revelations, but all the other female Devils turned to Alex with a predatory gaze.

At that moment Alex couldn't help but notice that he was receiving looks, from the group of female Devils that Rias and Akeno were talking to, while Rias had a healthy blush on her cheeks. He was able to guess what the conversation was, based on the predatory looks he received and the level of the blush on Rias's face, and wondered what made Rias discuss such topics at the party. He then spotted a familiar figure a ways away, and went over to her.

"Greetings Sona, I wish you luck in the games tomorrow." Sona Sitri jumped at Alex's words, and turned to him with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Is that something you say to someone about to fight your girlfriend?" Alex shook his head, and while subtly moving closer replied,

"It's not wrong to wish a cla.s.smate luck, besides its not like the game will make you two enemies." Sona sighed at his words, realizing that the person she occasionally talked to the last two years now seemed more like a playboy. She backed away from him, with a slightly deeper blush and replied,

"Perhaps you are the one I should be wis.h.i.+ng luck, having to fight a whole peerage singlehandedly. Though it might also be my fault you have to anyways, thank you by the way for sticking up for me." She said, before some other Devils called for her attention and she fled the conversation with Alex. He smirked at her reaction, and knew he would have to push her a littler further, but not too much before she started accepting him. Alex continued talking to various figures in the party, and spotted someone he didn't expect to see here.

"Greetings lord Michael, and lady Gabriel." He said to the two seraphim. Michael and Gabriel smiled at Alex and returned his greetings. Michael then said,

"I suppose I should wish you fortune tomorrow, I hope your match goes well."

"Will you two be watching it? I hope I don't show a disappointing scene in front of the lovely Gabriel." Alex said, as he took her hand and kissed it. Michael raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything to Alex's words and actions, while Gabriel didn't seem to understand that he was trying to appeal to her.

"Yes we will be watching it, since many factions are thinking of possibly joining the games in the future. I hope you do well." Alex smiled at her words and said,

"If the beautiful Gabriel says that then I have to be sure to perform my best. Watch me especially ok?" Gabriel agreed to, before they had to move on as well due to them being busy as the top members of heaven present. Alex continued to move around the room and greeted people. It didn't take long though, before the girl he was keeping an eye on slipped out of the room. Alex excused himself and followed Koneko to the elevator.

(A.N. Two things, I'm not too sure about Gabriel's personality except that she's naive, so I'm mostly just winging it with her. And I decided on four candidates for Alex's peerage, between the queen are Ingvild leviathan, or Roygun Belphegor. And I already have the second bishop in mind so between the first p.a.w.n are Valarie Tepes, and Kuroka. Comment which ones you want between them.)
