Of them, she was easily the most flimsy and prone to doing whatever she wanted as long as the mission was fulfilled with no consideration for consequences besides what would amuse her more.
This was the sort of woman that Dimaria, the Rook of her sister was. .
. unfortunately.
"Was anything of what I said wrong?" Sona questioned to which the woman in question just shrugged.

"Nothing much, just that you simply assume that someone capable would just turn tail and run so easily. Sera told me of the injuries of knight boy from that red-haired idiot, those injuries were not designed to kill but to incapacitate and make it flashy while also making him unable to be a threat.
Using that on someone to make his allies leave was a very smart move, a person this smart would know that trying to leave town right away would be hard and would be easily detected, painting a big target on his back. No, someone like that would stay low for a while yet, try to either blend in for a while more before leaving.
Heck, I wouldn't find it strange if we won't know how the enemy even looks like until the weakling who got his ass kicked wakes up. "
Sona sighed and nodded, understanding the logic of the situation.
"What you think we should do then, Lady Dimaria. "
"Use these. " She said as she threw some cheap jewelry at them.
"These things were designed to hide the demonic energy we devils exude. It should help you pass undetected if in a crowd and it has an SOS signal in it in case of a fight or if your life is in sudden danger.
We normally only let our spies with something like that but we can't abandon the town and it is your and Rias' responsibility to watch over it. When the Gremory and her little servants come back she will be provided with similar equipment, even if I doubt she would use them.
She and her servants feel like the emotional type and they might go and try to hunt the one who did that. "
Sona wanted to deny that Rias would be stupid enough to try to challenge whoever attacked Kiba by actively serving as bait, but Rias was not exactly logical when pushed and she already wasn't in the best state of mind due to her approaching Rating Game to decide if she would marry or not.
Heck, Sona even wondered if she would force whoever dealt with Kiba to join her Peerage as 'compensation', a stupid and rather shortsighted idea but the redhead was anxious and not thinking straight.
Meanwhile, as Sona and Dimaria talked about the protection protocol and other such matters, Momo worried over her cousin. She knew he was likely safe but he was still in a fragile state and was completely human while being close to her, a devil.
Momo was not as worried about her parents since they had a certain degree of protection in the house and knew of the supernatural due to their business, but Soma had no protection against this exorcist running around town.
Not that Soma needed protection against himself, but Momo did not know that the two were one and the same.
With decisiveness, she made it a point that she would go see him as soon as this whole thing blew over.
///---///
It has been a day since Kiba was put in the ICU due to the injuries afflicted to him and Rias was not doing well.
Not doing well at all.
And it did not look like things would be improving any time soon as a woman stood before her. Her usually bubbly personality and cute magical girl dress not in place, instead, formal clothes and a serious expression could be seen when one looked at Serafal Leviathan.
". .
. You understand what you did wrong, correct?" Serafal said in a serious tone that was not usual for her and Rias flinched at it before her energy flared and eyes of pure anger could be seen.
"I let my peerage fight alone and one of them got injured for it. " Rias said with pure venom and fire-spitting out with every word.
However, no matter how much anger she had it all amounted to nothing in front of the coldness in Serafal's eyes.
"No, that is not what I am talking about. I honestly couldn't care less right now about the state of your knight.
"
". .
. Huh?" Rias said, her anger distracted by the sudden words of Satan Leviathan in front of her.
For her the only true concern would be that her servant got injured, that was her main focus so saying that him getting injured wasn't her mistake made Rias unable to comprehend.
Not minding it Serafal continued, she had to make sure to point out exactly WHAT her actual mistakes were.
"You acted by yourself without talking with either me or Sirzechs when you attacked a group of fallen angels in your territory while invading a church. This alone is bad enough, the problems we will be facing from this act will be quite hard for me specifically to deal with since I am the one responsible for dealing with external affairs and we are already hated by almost every other race and faction in the world.
You might not understand this but the devil race is in a truly precarious state since ALL Pantheons and factions hate us and if even one attacks the others will also follow soon after. And your actions tonight provoked the two most likely groups to start the hostilities.

"I couldn't let my pawn kill himself if he acted alone and he wouldn't listen to me when I said to not act!" Rias justified in a loud voice, trying to explain herself.
"THEN BE HIS KING AND MAKE HIM LISTEN!" Serafal yelled at her, her powers flaring and Rias being moved back gasping due to the sheer pressure of it. "You are the KING, he has to listen to you and not the other way around.
