Highschool dxd: Abused And betrayed oc

chapter 45: the meeting part 5

Facing Rias, the orchestrator of the heart-wrenching betrayal, I couldn't contain the tumult of emotions swirling within me. The courtroom awaited her explanation, demanding an account for the reprehensible actions that had shattered trust and camaraderie.

me:Now then I began

my voice steady but laced with the weight of betrayal.

Me:Explain yourself.

Rias, under the scrutiny of those present, took a moment before responding. Her expression, once composed, now betrayed a flicker of uncertainty.

Me:Danny, I... It's not what you think. There were reasons, circumstances that forced our hand.

I raised an incredulous eyebrow, my gaze piercing through any attempt at justification.

.w:Reasons? Circumstances? Is that what you call orchestrating my demise?

The bitterness in my tone reflected the depth of the wounds inflicted.

Rias hesitated, grappling with the gravity of her actions.

Rias: made choices I believed were for the greater good of the peerage. You were deemed a liability, and sacrifices had to be made.

"Sacrifices?" I scoffed.

Me:You sacrificed my trust, my loyalty, and my life for some twisted notion of greater good. What could possibly justify such cruelty?

As the tension in the courtroom thickened, Rias attempted to articulate her reasoning.

Rias:danny, you were not adapting to the challenges we faced. The battles demanded strength, and I had to make tough decisions to ensure the survival and success of the peerage.

I shot back, the sting of betrayal fueling my words.

Me:survival and success built on lies and deception? I trusted you, Rias. I believed in the bonds we formed, only to discover they were nothing but a facade.

Rias, now visibly distressed, struggled to find words that could assuage the mounting condemnation.

Rias:I never intended for it to unfold this way. It's regrettable, but sometimes leaders must make difficult choices.

A wave of anger surged within me.

Me:Difficult choices? You turned allies into enemies, friends into betrayers. This goes beyond leadership; it's a betrayal of everything we stood for.

The courtroom, a silent witness to the unraveling drama, awaited Rias's response. The air crackled with tension as the confrontation laid bare the shattered remnants of a once-unbreakable bond. The pursuit of justice and understanding hung in the balance, teetering on the edge of a reckoning that could reshape the destinies of those involved.

The atmosphere in the courtroom became charged with palpable anger and seething fury. Serafall, known for her calm demeanor, was visibly beyond pissed, her eyes narrowed in a rare display of unbridled rage. On the other side of the room, Sona, usually composed and strategic, was literally seething with fury. Tsubaki and Ravel found themselves struggling to restrain her, their efforts a testament to the depth of Sona's incensed emotions.

Andrea, having witnessed the holographic revelation and now confronted with Rias's feeble justifications, shared in the collective outrage. Her usually composed demeanor cracked, replaced by a fiery indignation that mirrored the sentiments of many in the courtroom.

The high-class devils, typically stoic and reserved, exchanged glances that betrayed their own astonishment and disapproval. Low-class devils, who had likely experienced their fair share of injustice, resonated with the sense of betrayal and injustice emanating from the unfolding drama.
