Three months have passed since I was in the Devil Capital, Lilith.
During these three months, I was taught by Grayfia-san about the knowledge of devils as well as the Noble Etiquette in preparation for the exams.
While the three women who were with me, they kept training my fighting skills from after breakfast to before lunch every day. And in the afternoon, when I was being taught by Grayfia-san, they were quite relaxed. If they don't just stay in the villa, they usually go sightseeing and shopping.
And today....
"Grayfia-san..."
"...."
"Uhh.... How?"
I looked at Grayfia-san somewhat nervously and fluttered.
"You passed."
"Yeaahhh!!!!"
I am grateful and very happy to hear the statement from Grayfia-san. That's because, that means I already understand and master enough about the Noble Etiquette. And that also meant that I had completed my studies in Devil Knowledge as well as Noble Etiquette.
That's why I cheered.
And.... She stared at me intently for that.
I immediately corrected my attitude!
"Ah! I-I mean.... Thank you very much for the lesson, Grayfia-san.
I bowed elegantly and thanked her politely.
"Yes. You're welcome."
Grayfia-san answered with a smile.
"Thank you also for taking the time and effort to teach me. Even though you already have a lot to do as a servant of the Devil King and the House of Gremory. Moreover, you also have to raise your own child too."
Yes. Grayfia-san also has a child of her own. His name is Millicas and moreover he is still a toddler. Grayfia-san said since she is quite busy, the one who takes care of her child more is her mother-in-law from the House of Gremory. So sometimes I feel a bit guilty too for causing less and less time for his child.
Grayfia-san shook her head then patted my head after hearing what I said.
"It's okay, Rey. Didn't I tell you, you are my best friend's son. I consider you like my nephew. So, you are my family too."
I nodded firmly at her words.
Then, Grayfia-san asked,
"Then, when will you be taking your exam?"
I silently held my chin and thought for a moment at Grayfia-san's question.
"Hmm.... How about a week later?"
"A week? That's good. That way you can use this week to prepare your conditions.... I will convey your decision to Lucifer-sama later."
"Yes. Thank you."
Grayfia-san gave a small nod.
Then she talks again
"Oh, by the way, Rey... There will probably be some "audiences" when you take the exam."
"Audiences? What do you mean?"
I looked at Grayfia-san confused and wondering.
"Fufufu….Did you forget? You are currently the youngest Ultimate-class Devil, Rey. Even though not many know about it right now, but only because you got the chance to directly rise from Low-class to High-class and being the Head of a Family is enough to be in the spotlight, Rey. So, many people are curious about you and want to see if you deserve such "privileges and exceptions".... Moreover, you are also required to marry a pure-blood Devil later on. So, many Families who have daughters want to take advantage of this situation to observe you. They want to see whether or not you have good prospects as a future son-in-law or husband-to-be."
"Guh!"
I almost forgot about that!
"Haahhh~...."
In the end I could only take a sighed deeply. After all, that matter is still much later and I still have plenty of time. So no need to be overthink it either.
"Fufufu.... Take it easy, Rey. I believe you can."
Yeah. I'm sure I can pass the test later!

A few days later, the news about Rey going to take the promotion exam soon spread among the upper echelon of Devils.
And the Heads of the Devil Families started discussing about Rey with their closest and trusted people.
Especially they who had daughters who weren't heir candidates.

"What do you think?"
"Hmm.... Sounds good. But.... Are you sure? You know yourself what is she likes?"
"Hah~.... I don't know. But there's no harm in trying."
"Hah~.... Fine then. I'll call her."
▫️
▫️
"Dad! What's up!?"
"Watch your attitude."
"Tsk.... Troublesome.... Just go back to your fancy room and look at the mirror, you shameless...."
"What did you say!? How dare you!? Do you know who's your talking to!?"
"Shut up, you two-face! You're not my mother! You're just a b*t-...."
"Enough! We're not here to hear you two bickering!"
"...."
"...."
"My daughter, listen carefully to this...."
▫️
▫️
"I know you don't want to be forced. We don't want to force you either. But I hope you'll at least consider it. So?"
"Hmm.... Is he really that good?"
"I don't know.... But at least it will be more certain after observing him directly."
"Hmm...."
▫️
▫️
"They thought that half-breed is an asset. But I don't think so.... He's just a low-life!"
"But...."
"No means No! I won't let my family to be polluted by a dirty blood no matter what!"
"...."
▫️
▫️
"So? What do you think of him?"
"Hmph! A half like him is not my cup of tea! Please don't disgrace me!"
"Yeah. He's just a glorified b*stard! Hahahaha!"
▫️
▫️
"Alright! .... If he's that good, I'll challenge him later!"
"Why do you want to challenge him instead, you stupid brat!?"
"So what!? I'll only seriously consider it if he can beat me!"
▫️
▫️
"How is it?"
"...."
"Isn't it too soon for her? She's still too young."
"Hmm.... Maybe you're right."
"But.... It won't hurt for us to observe him."
▫️
▫️
"So?"
"Interesting. I'm curious.... I'll take a look."
▫️
▫️
Such conversations took place in the upper echelon of the Devils.
They intended to witness Rey's exam and observe him first-hand. And if they think that Rey is indeed have a good prospect, they will consider further actions and attitudes.
Even though they also know that the final decision, namely who will be chosen or considered further, lies with Rey himself.
