Grayfia, upon learning of my status dissolved some of the pressure on us.
Good, communication is possible.
I ease myself back up and look at the silver haired woman. The Strongest Queen stands before me and I don't want to get on her bad side.
Though she has let up on the pressure, she is still suspicious of my identity it seems. That's fine though.
But first, I need to take out some trash.
I look over to Kuroka and it seems she understood my intentions because she covered Shirone's eyes and casted a barrier over themselves to blind their senses to the outside world.
Now then, these fuckers clearly have no qualms about kidnapping kids and selling them on some market so I channel some of my mana and create 5 devil bullets and blow off the heads of the 5 lackeys before throwing some PoD at them and erasing their corpses from existence, leaving the leader alive but i quickly knock him out.
I'm no saint, but if something happens right in my face, I can't exactly ignore it. I'll save the guy for the authorities who can wring some info out of him but that's where my cooperation ends.
Grayfia, seeing me use the Power of Destruction unique to the Bael clan is surprised but she doesn't show it. But now I truly have her attention.
"Have him interrogated for the whereabouts of an underground slave market and have him erased afterwards. I can't have my existence being made public yet as it will cause many problems for my Uncle and myself."
Grayfia nods her head and creates a magic circle near her ear and relays information to someone before cutting it off and looking back at me.
Grayfia: "Authorities have been informed and are on their way. Please follow me to somewhere where you can properly explain your situation, Zell-sama."
Ooo, I got a little tingly hearing her call me with -sama. I may have a small maid fetish.
I tap on Kuroka's barrier getting her attention before she releases the barrier. If Shirone knows what just happened earlier, she doesn't show it.
"Let's go, we follow her for now."
The nekoshou sisters nod and follow behind me.
Grayfia sets up a teleportation spell with the gremory crest on it and we follow her into it. That circle shines crimson before we are teleported into a reception room. Decorative blue wallpaper, antique red velvet sofas, and a low wooden coffee table. Fancy.
Grayfia: "Please wait here for a moment while I inform Lord Zeoticus Gremory of your arrival."
Before she leaves, I quickly stop her.
"Lady Grayfia, I would also like to request a private meeting with Lord Lucifer later on, as I have come across some damning information that is for his ears only. It can lead to very serious consequences if not handled thoroughly."
Grayfia looks into my eyes for any sign of falsehood, but finding none, accepts my request. She gives a curt bow and teleports out, presumably to inform one or both of them.
I sigh out of relief before looking over at the sisters.
Kuroka: "Oh, my young master is so eloquent with his tongue nya~, maybe in the future you may even be able to fell many young noble ladies with your words alone nya~."
Shirone: "Ooh"
Kuroka says teasingly while Shirone tries to keep up with the energy by clapping her hands, although failing adorably because of her blank face.
"Uuuugh, noble talk is annoying, I'd much rather get to the point quickly instead of talking a mile to get to the point. It's absolutely annoying."
I grumble and complain much to Kuroka's amusement while Shirone has already been lead astray by the tray of sweets on the table.
It's not long before a magic circle with the Gremory family crest shines at the entrance of the room and 3 figures appear before us.
I quickly stand up recognizing them, Kuroka and Shirone follwing my lead. I didn't expect to meet both of them at once.
A tall, handsome man who seems to be in his early 20's. He has shoulder length crimson hair and blue eyes and exudes an aura of power.
The other is a middle-aged, handsome looking man with long crimson hair that is tied in a loose ponytail with a black hairband. He has bright blue eyes just like the other man and has a short red beard.
???: "Greeting young man, I am Sirzechs Lucifer, besides me is my father, Zeoticus Gremory. Grayfia here has informed us that you have a peculiar identity and wish to speak with us but she didn't say what. May we have your name?"
Huh, guy's pretty laid back just like in the anime. For the third time that day, I introduce myself.
"Greetings, Lord Lucifer, my name is Zell Agares. Nephew of Lord Stephen Agares, Head of the Agares clan. Due to reasons beyond my control, I have been seperated from my family for the past 3 years and I now intend to return."
Sirzechs: "I see, I have heard of you, it was said that you passed away 3 years ago. It seems that this information was wrong. Would you care to explain what is going on."
I take a deep breath and begin to explain everything I knew about my circumstances. From being the Bael clan's stain, the kidnapping and attempted fuck up of an assassination, and surviving in the woods for 3 years. Although a little suspicious on how I could survive in the forest for the last 3 years by myself, after remembering that I possesed PoD, they let it go.
Sirzechs: "I see, the Bael clan has quite the nerve. If you wish, I can seek justice for you and your mother. With the evidence you have provided, it is enough to incriminate the Bael clan, although I can't do it publicly because of politics, I can assure you that you will be compensated for everything you have been through."
Sirzechs was sincere in his offer. Unfortunately, I have no plans to forgive the Bael clan. They need to be taught a lesson and be put in their place, or they'll be a thorn in the attempt for peace between the fallen and the angels. That, and I'm not done yet.
"Lord Lucifer, I have not finished with my explanation yet. I believe that what I'm about to say next is far too important, I wish not to be rude, Lord Gremory, but I wish for the following information to spread to as few people as possible. I hope you can grant my request."
I bowed my head deeply towards Zeoticus, I need him out for what is next.
Zeoticus: "If the following information is this important, then I see no problem with it. No need to worry, young Zell, I won't fault you."
I bow deeply once more to express my thanks before Zeoticus takes off. Crap, I forgot to ask him to contact my uncle. Oh well, I'll ask Grayfia later.
Sirzechs: "Very well, what do you have for me that is so important?"
I take a sip of the tea that Grayfia laid out earlier to quench my thirst.
"Before I begin, allow me to introduce you to my companions, this is Kuroka and her younger sister, Shirone."
They both bow respectfully knowing they're in the presence of the Maou Lucifer.
I begin to explain everything that I know and learnt about the Super Devil research from the idiot to the anger-management-needing Ultimate before passing the ball to Kuroka who explains what she has been through over the last 3 years.
As he listens, Sirzechs expression gets darker and darker until he has a full face frown. A bit of aura leaks from him and Kuroka and I quickly cover Shirone with our energy to protect her while Grayfia covers us with hers.
But there is one thing that I can say for certain. Lucifer's pissed.
Sirzechs takes a deep breath to calm himself before bowing in apology.
Sirzechs: "Forgive me, I lost control of myself and nearly brought harm to you. Please accept my apology."
"Not a problem Lord Lucifer, I can understand your dilemma."
I smoothe the situation over before Kuroka gets mad and look at her with a gaze that says, not now. She reluctantly nods her head and looks away, caring more for Shirone.
Sirzechs understood his blunder and apologizes once more towards her which she quietly accepts before he sighs in exhuastion.
Sirzechs: "I will make sure to look into this case personally and I will make sure to get some answers for this. In the meantime, I ask you to stay within my family's mansion so as to not draw too much attention to yourself.
I will also ask Ajuka to take a look at young Kuroka and see if he can anylyze and reverse the effect the experiments had on her body. And do not worry, I trust him with my life, and I swear on my name, that he will not harm her in any way."
"Thank you Lord Lucifer, for your help. Before you go, may I ask for a request?"
Everything has gone smoothely and the discussion is all but over. Before Sirzechs gets away, I need to fulfill my main objective for coming here originally.
Sirzechs: "Ask away, if it is within my power, I will grant it."
Bingo
"I wish to receive my own set of Evil Pieces. As you can possibly tell, I am a mid High class devil and possess the blood of both Bael and Agares and I wish to form my own peerage to aide and accompany me in my future. If possible, I wish to do the ceremony privately so as to not alert anyone of my existence."
Sirzechs takes a few seconds to think before smiling at me.
Sirzechs: "For the information you have provided, it shall be arranged."
Mission Accomplished
