It would be odd if he had to fight for Rias when she called on him, especially considering he'd be of a higher social and political standing. I think he would still fight for her, just not because hes compelled to do so, more because he loves her. He'd likely keep the pawn pieces and wouldn't get a king piece, he'll just be more important politically than her. Theres no garuntee of them making it to the final four, its just incredibly likely.
