The Peerage

Your lust was finally sated after two more feverish makeout sessions where Rias sucked you off, once in the shower and the other while getting dressed. In between your heated kisses, Rias had managed to moan out a few things about the life of a devil.

She was a pureblood, born by a devil mother and a devil father. However, such natural births are very rare due to devils' low fertility that compensated their long lives. In order to bolster their numbers for their ongoing war with angels and other races, they use Evil Pieces to reincarnate humans such as yourself into devils. These are based on the game of chess and there are a total of 15 pieces in a peerage (1 Queen ♛, 2 Rooks ♜, 2 Bishops ♝, 2 Knights ♞, and 8 Pawns ♟).

Each piece had its own unique abilities in order to create a balanced system. Rooks were more physically stronger, Bishops were more magically gifted, Knights were faster and the Queen had all the advantages of the other pieces while the Pawns were pretty much useless.

Rias was your King (♚) a genderfluid term for master and she resurrected you with a Bishop Piece, which granted you exceptional magical abilities though you hardly felt any different. The sun appeared brighter and being out in the light for too long felt draining but you still felt like your old self.

"Wait... So, God is... Real?" You asked as you hooked up Rias' bra, still dumbfounded by your new life and still half-expected to wake up from this dream at any moment. You had been an atheist since highschool, ever since you stumbled upon a video of the late Christopher Hitchens and realised the ridiculous notion of praying to an invisible man in the sky. Now, you discovered that He was real and so are angels and demons! Your entire worldview was thrown upside down and you have no idea what to believe anymore. Now, you wouldn't even be too surprised if it turns out that the Tooth Fairy is real or that the Earth is actually flat.

"He is." Rias gave you a coy smile as she fixed her hair, "But the God of the Bible is just one of numerous other gods."

"Wait... What?"

Rias turned in the mirror and inspected her bra before putting on her school uniform, making her look even more innocent and young and you felt a ping in your chest as you remembered how wrong it was to lust after one of your student. Well... You're a devil now and destined to live in hell. No point in caring about what is right or wrong.

"Come now," Rias took your hand in hers as she led you out of her bedroom. "The others are waiting for us."

You still had a hundred questions for the redhead but as she led you downstairs and you looked down at your interlocked hands, there was only one question on your mind. "So, Rias... Last night was... Uhm... Are we dating now? Or do you do that to every..."

Rias paused mid-step and gave you a confused look and you wondered if you said something that you shouldn't have. But then her eyes turned hopeful and her lips twisted into that familiar, beautiful, contagious smile. "Professor! Are you asking me out?"

"Uhmm, yeah?" You replied, now feeling a bit embarrassed at asking the teenager out, flustered as you began to defensively ramble. "I know that you are my "king" or master or whatever, and you would rather date someone closer to your age..."

Before you had the chance to finish, Rias closed the distance between your lips and kissed you passionately. The kiss was much different than the lustful, hurried ones you stole earlier. It was what a first kiss should be like. Slow, tentative and almost romantic. Your lips glided across her lush, rosy lips as your hand snaked to her back, pushing her closer to you. Even as she parted her lips and your tongues came together in a loving dance, the kiss remained slow as you both took the time to commit each other's mouth to memory. Rias broke off the kiss too soon for your liking, giving you a loving smile that made your heart melt.

"I would love to go on a date with you, Professor!" Rias said cheerfully but then her face fell as she stared at the door that led to the living room. "I'll be honest, I don't want to introduce you to the rest of my peerage."

"Why?"

"You'll see..."

"Professor Van Helsing, it will be an honour to fight by your side!" said a beautiful blonde girl, she had a mole beneath one of her grey eyes but that actually enhanced her beauty though she was certainly not as attractive as Rias. "My name is Yumi Kiba and I am a knight of Gremory."

A devil knight, you mused in irony, remembering what Rias had told you about her peerage. Knights are the opposite of a Rook, with lightning fast attacks to compensate for their weak defence. Rias had told you that you were the fourth servant in her peerage yet there was only one other person in the room. Unlike, Kiba you actually knew this girl, being a student in your second-year history class, Koneko Toujou. Unlike Yumi, who had quickly gotten up and bowed respectfully as soon as you entered the room, arms in arms with Rias, Koneko had remained aloof, sitting with both feet on the expensive couch as she licked a popsicle.

"Professor Alexander, welcome." Koneko said in a monotonous, uninterested voice, her golden eyes flicking to you and then towards the TV, watching nothing in particular.

"Well, that's a warm welcome by Koneko's standards." Rias smiled at you before looking around the room for someone else. "Where is my Vice-President?"

"Uh..." {yumi} looked uneasy at her master's question while Koneko merely shrugged and went back to licking her popsicle.

"I'm right here, Buchou." said an erotic voice from behind you. Turning around, you nearly had a heartattack as you came face to face with the only girl other than Rias that dominated your fantasies. Akeno stood before you in a short, dripping wet towel that was translucent enough to show skin. It may just be a simple white cloth, but on a wet Akeno it was by far the hottest piece of clothing that you ever seen on a woman.

"Professor, you've already met Akeno." Rias spoke, turning her head towards the purple-eyed girl, jealousy burning in her deep blue eyes. "She's my first servant, my queen."

Akeno curtsied before you, using her towel as a short dress and giving you a scandalous view of her cleavage.

"Forgive my appearance, Professor." Akeno smiled as she caught you staring at her breasts, her purple eyes full of mischief as she taunt you. "I needed a shower to cool down after overhearing Buchou and you. May I say, I look forward to serving under you as Rias does."

"Akeno! You have no business eavesdropping on me!!!" Rias' nostrils flared up like a dragon about to breathe flames and her cheeks were quickly turning a bright shade of pink as she was teased by her best friend. Meanwhile, the two other members of her group remained oblivious to the teasing of the two busty friends.

"Now, now, Rias. I only want to give a proper welcome to the newest addition of our family." Akeno said teasingly as she sashayed towards you, rolling her wide hips seductively. "I would never dream of going behind your back... You are free to watch, is that right, {professor}?"

"AKENO!" Rias was now more than infuriated by the brunette, green with jealousy as you didn't protest when Akeno snuggle to the other side of you until you were literally sandwiched between two beautiful women, their breasts rubbing against your side and making it difficult to control the lewd thoughts coursing through your head. Just then, the middle of the room burts into flames, and as you stepped back in shock, Rias and her friends merely watched the inferno with contempt in their eyes. Even Akeno dropped her teasing nature as she became more serious, a scowl forming on her beautiful face.

From the orange flames, emerged the silhouette of a man who quickly formed into a young handsome blond man in his mid-twenties, with icy blue eyes. You saw his eyes staring hungrily at Rias and then moving over to Akeno, ignoring you entirely as he gawked over Akeno's sexy form, opening his mouth and then closing it as if he was resisting the urge to lick his lips hungrily.

Now, that's a devil. You thought with instant contempt for the man.

"What are you doing here unannounced, Riser?" Rias spat at the man, who still stared hungrily at Akeno, forcing her to mutter some words and in the blink of an eye, she was dressed in her school uniform. The devil, Riser, suddenly noticed that both Rias and Akeno were holding on to your arms and his face quickly turned into an angry, jealous scowl.

"So, RiRi," the man scowled menacingly at Rias. "You found yourself a manservant. Shame. I had hoped you would keep an all-girls peerage for me. It would make for an incredible wedding night, breaking in all of your female servants while he watches."
