Highschool dxd: Abused And betrayed oc

chapter 38: a new trouble

The gentle hum of a year's worth of memories resonated in the room, accompanied by the soft breathing of Hisuka nestled on my chest. As I sensed a faint knock on the door, I opened it to reveal Yubelluna, my brother's queen, standing in the doorway.

"Rai," she began, her tone carrying a mixture of formality and a hint of hesitation,

Yubelluna:I come bearing an invitation. Riser's marriage is set to take place next week, and you are invited.

The words hung in the air, each syllable carrying the weight of a past filled with strife and familial discord. Yubelluna's presence was a reminder of the intricate web of relationships that connected us, whether by blood or association.

I regarded her with a contemplative gaze, acknowledging the significance of the invitation.

Me:Riser's marriage

I mused,

Me:a union that was once entwined with my sister. How times have changed.

Yubelluna nodded, a subtle acknowledgment of the shifting dynamics within the underworld.

Yubelluna:Indeed, Rai. The circumstances have evolved, and this marriage carries its own implications.

As the gravity of the situation settled in, I couldn't help but reflect on the events that had transpired over the past year. The flames of conflict that had defined my interactions with the Phenex family were now replaced by a more subdued atmosphere, one where invitations to familial events held the promise of both reconciliation and potential discord.

Me:I appreciate the invitation

I finally responded, breaking the silence that had settled between us.

Me:It's been a year of change, and attending this ceremony may offer a chance to observe the shifting tides.

Yubelluna nodded again, her eyes reflecting a depth of understanding.

Yubelluna:Rai, the underworld is ever-changing, and the dynamics of our relationships are no exception. I hope that attending the ceremony might bring about a semblance of closure or, perhaps, the beginning of a new chapter.

As the conversation unfolded, the room became a nexus of contemplation, bridging the past and the present. The impending marriage served as a focal point, inviting reflection on the complexities of family, duty, and the uncertain paths that lay ahead.

Me: I thought you and the girls would join the low class and mid class devils

Riser is a bastard through and through, he treats low class and mid class devils like trash especially his peerage I heard he had raped every single last one of them

I should have reduced him to ashes that day

Yubelluna's sigh carried with it a weight of resignation as she began to disrobe, revealing a seal prominently placed in the center of her breasts. The intricate markings bespoke a cruel reality—a slave seal imposed by Riser to shackle the will of his peerage members and prevent any thoughts of defiance or abandonment.

Her eyes, once proud and determined, now held a glint of subdued rebellion as she spoke,

Yubelluna:Rai, the desire for change, for justice, it burns within us. However, these seals... they are a symbol of our subjugation, a cruel measure to ensure loyalty through coercion.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of empathy for Yubelluna and the others ensnared by Riser's manipulative tactics. "These seals," I responded with a mix of understanding and indignation,

Mw:are an affront to the very ideals we hoped to uphold. How can we strive for a better underworld when such oppressive measures persist?

Yubelluna nodded solemnly, her expression revealing the internal struggle she faced.
