The Saint's Trial: Can He Resist Their Charm!?

Chapter 8 - Side Story: After She Met Him (Sona)

"You will never be able to see him again if he decided not to come back here again."

"You are arrogant self-centered brats who didn't even visit him and asked how he was doing."

"You could have been the first wife if you weren't so childish."

These words kept ringing on Sona's and Rias' heads. At first, they wanted to refute him but found out that there are no words that are coming out of their mouths. It is because they knew that it was the truth.

=====

Sona, she is a diligent girl. After she learned that she would be the one to replace her father in the seat of being the Sitri Household Head, her head was full of thoughts about how to better her family and to study more. She was like a machine that kept on doing what she thinks she 'has' to. This led her to start losing her childish emotions, she tried to suppress it because she is the 'heiress' of the Sitri Household. Although she doesn't notice it, her mind is starting to take a toll on her. She is still a child, and a child is supposed to be playing around happily and enjoying life. In her case, she started to study when she reached 3 years old and continued to read multiple books and studies about how to better a clan or about Rating Games.

One day, her sister, who is not that clingy to her*, tried to convince her to meet another heiress of her age. She agreed, she wants to see who it was.

(A/N: Okay, this is because I concluded that Serafall started to become a Sis-con around when Sona was 7-8 years old. Why? Because she saw that she is now handling a burden that she's supposed to be handling. That's why she copied Sirzech's sis-con attitude to pamper her sister. Yuri is great and all but meh, that isn't my thing.)

Then, the day came and she met a crimson-haired little girl with an aura of grace surrounding her. Although she has that aura, her face obviously showed that she is quite spoiled. She stunned because she knew this girl, it was the heiress of the Gremory clan. But was stunned her more was the boy beside her. It would be an understatement to say that this boy is 'just' handsome. Although there was still some baby fat in his face, it is apparent that he would grow up as a handsome man in the near future. He has a silver and sakura colored hair done in a neat trim. Blue eyes that are as clear as the sky of the human world that she heard before. She noticed that, when she looked at him, he just looked at her, in kind, calmly and naturally. She tried to calm herself down and regain her 'calm' demeanor.

Sona did a curtsy to greet her visitors gracefully. Sona has a face that still has a lot of baby fat in it. Black hair and deep purple eyes*. She is currently wearing a purple one-piece dress with violet-colored frills.

(A/N: She still isn't wearing a glass. Although that would be cute on her, I have my own plans with Sona's appearance. You'll know when we get there ;))

"Greetings, my name is Sona Sitri, heiress of the Sitri Household," she greeted.

The girl, being an heiress too, greeted her in an elegant way. Holding both sides of her skirt, she did a cute but elegant curtsy. This girl is wearing a pink one-piece dress with a few frilly designs on the hem of the skirt and the c.h.e.s.t part. Her blue eyes looked at her after doing a curtsy and said,

"Greetings. My name is Rias Gremory, heiress of the Gremory Household." said the crimson-haired girl, now known as Rias.

After their formal greetings, the boy suddenly stepped forward and greeted her in a very casual way.

"Hello! My name is Ariyoshi Hiroto! My father is the Ultimate Devil, Blazing Meteor Dragon, Tannin!" said Hiroto energetically.

After greeting each other, they got to know that the two girls are quite similar to each other.

At first, they were the ones that are taking care of Hiroto. But then, after a few weeks, they were the ones that are being taken care of by him. They would start complaining to him about how everyone sees them only as an heiress and not as who they are. And his words would always calm them down mysteriously.

"Sona/Rias is still young so you don't need to worry about this right now! When you get burdened by the things going on in your head, just come to me and I'll pamper you lots!" says Hiroto. Sometimes, he sounds like someone older than them, which gave them a strange kind of comfort.

"It's okay, you are still young so you have lots of time to deal with those future problems! I will help you deal with them together!" says the boy always. This made them realize that there is someone who they can run to when they have a problem.

Days like that passed by and they got close to each other. Sona and Rias would cling onto Hiroto whenever they see him. They love it when he pampers them. And that feeling of getting pampered changed into a different feeling one day.

They were in a picnic at Sona's House. Specifically, their garden. They were here because they wanted to try and play house. Since Hiroto is the only boy, he will be the Father. Not like they would accept any other boy other than him.

Both girls decided to use the most ancient way of the devils to decide who will be Hiroto's wife. That's right, they played janken.

The intense battle lasted for 7 rounds until the tie broke and Sona emerged as the victor, she was so happy that she started to jump up and down while Rias pouted while inflating her cheeks. Sona didn't pay attention to her dissatisfaction and was happy that she will be Hiroto's wife. She then noticed that Rias was getting head pats from him. She was quite jealous of it and wanted to protest, but she was interrupted by his teasing.

She tried to punch him but to no avail, she lost her balance and fell on top of Hiroto. She readied herself for the impact, but what she felt was a soft feeling on her lips. She was then jolted by the sudden s.u.c.k.i.n.g feeling on her lips and she tasted a sweet flavor. When she opened her eyes slightly, Sona saw Hiroto in front of her.

'So this is how kissing feels. It feels so fluffy and comfortable,' Sona thought. She is a member of an aristocratic family in the devil world so it's obvious that she received some education about this subject. Although, it was just about kissing, holding hands, and hugging.

After that, they were interrupted by Rias who took her spot and kissed Hiroto too. She was jealous and they started to take turns on kissing Hiroto.

After that day, they would try to tell Hiroto to kiss them, but to no avail. They formulated a plan in order to entrap him, and it succeeded. After that plan succeeded, they would try kissing secretly. It was so soft and fluffy that they didn't want to lose his warmth.

But then, they came of age to train their devil powers. Sona was reluctant to part but remembered that she has a responsibility in her household.

She started to train and study hard that she forgot about Hiroto. Sometimes, Hiroto would visit her and she would just answer short sentences.

When she was busy studying, a piece of news came that shocked her a bit. Rias is now engaged to Riser of the Phoenix clan. But this news just shocked her a bit and she continued her study like nothing happened.

After that, 3 months after Hiroto's birthday, she never bothered to visit him. In fact, she forgot that it was his birthday 3 months ago. She didn't even bother to find out the reason why and just continued to study diligently. She stopped training because she is already a 'High-class Devil' since birth, and just focused on broadening her knowledge in tactics and such.

=====

When she remembered this, she knew that she was such a selfish girl. The boy who kept on worrying about her and comforting her when she is burdened is now gone.

"Hiro, please come back here. I promise Sona will be a good girl and train myself as you said. I promise that Sona will not ignore you anymore and take care of you too. Please, Sona will do her best… just… just come back, please. S-Sona loves you sooo much. I-I'm so sorry Hiroooo," Sona said as she started to weep childishly, but there was fire that is visible on her purple eyes.

From this day onwards, aside from her studies, Sona started to train her magic intensely. She even trained her body a bit just so she could maneuver it quite easily when battling. She trained intensely that she even forgot to trim her hair at shoulder length.

Sona changed her demeanor, although she still has the noblewoman's demeanor, she would talk to others with a smile or nod at them in acknowledgment. She also became kind and caring towards the members of her peerage. Although, she never accepted a male member.

(A/N: It isn't a gender-bent Saji. That guy sucks tbh, I don't like his attitude the first time he met Rias and her peerage. Find out the twist in the later chapters folks!)
