10 Lilith & Grayfia
-Lilith, capital of the Satan's territory-
Teleported into a room. The light from the circle dissipates.
*BAM*
The door is flung open.
"W-welcome, great elder!" Bows another Gizmo, a look-alike.
'Aren't there women? Did all the females die off? Did these Gizmos scare them away? I have many question.'
After exchanging a one-sided pleasantry with Gizmo No.2, I leave the transport facility.
-
*Whistle*
'The capital sure lives up to its name. It's damn huge.'
I look around, seeing people go about their lives.
'Not really different from the human city life.' I compare the two races' way of life as I see no difference at all.
I go into an empty alleyway. Cast [Look&Cloth M] to change into a different average joe in a grey robe.
'Fufu. I'm abusing these two spells a lot. The only ones that can see through my [Look M] are those with stronger demonic power. And there are more than a handful of those in this town. It's just to be careful.'
-
Finding a street with food stalls lined up. Feeling peckish, went there and grabbed a bite to eat.
There's a special currency in the Underworld.
Satans coins and Devils coins.
Satans coins are coins with the faces of current four Satans engraved on 4 different coins, each differ in value.
Highest value coin is Levia coin. I think she demanded to have her coin considered as highest valued but who knows. Levia coin is large and pink in colour.
Second highest is Luci coin. Slightly smaller than Levia coin and red in colour.
Third, Belz coin. Green in colour. And lastly, Asmo coin. Purple in colour.
Most Satans coins can be found traded in the hands of rich merchants and nobles.
As for the Devils coin, They're gold, silver and copper. Commoner stuff. It has wings, tails and the word 'Devil' engraved on them.

After walking around for a bit, exploring what the capital has to offer. It's almost late afternoon.
'Damn it, it's not the time to relax. Gotta get those pieces and look for that shitty Naberius branch family. Since I have no fuckin' clue where those shitlords are hiding the kittens, I need to get my hands on a low-class Devil clan member and use either [Mind Control] or [Mind Read] to extract info on the whereabouts of their higher-ups. Those higher-ups should know the hidden lab's location.'
I organised my thoughts and then asked a pedestrian where I can find the monument that grants Evil pieces. He looked at me like I was an idiot. But he simply pointed at the tallest building and walked away, probably had his fair share of dealing with idiots.
'Should've asked my father where the monument is before I left.' I palmed my own face as I realized I am not good when it comes to asking the right questions at the right time.
-
Didn't take long to reach the building. And boy, is it tall.
Heading inside, it looks like a government building with people going back and forth.
And I sense it.
The imminent danger.
Stopping in my tracks. I reach for the daggers hidden under my robe. I grip the handles. Still, the surroundings are normal, people moving, uncaring.
I look around and spot some guards observing me, not all of them.
'Shit, is it the [Look M]? They can see through it. They're fucking good at hiding their demonic power. Probably high-class by the amount I can faintly detect.' I let go of the handles and smile awkwardly at them since it feels like they caught me with my pants down.
Seeing that I won't pull anything funny in this building, the danger I felt disappeared.
Feeling better after that scary encounter. I walk towards the wide reception area.
A man suddenly approaches me.
"Could I assist you?" The man in butler uniform says as he bows.
Taken by surprise for a bit because of the previous threat I felt, I stutter at first like a fool.
"A-ah y-yes, you could. I am here to obtain my Evil pieces." I straighten up.
The man stares at me for a second before smiling "Congratulations on your accomplishment, your lordship!" and bows again.
"Why thank you, yes." I pompously nod and return the smile.
"May I see the proclamation letter to ascertain the matter, your lordship?" he asks with a smile.
My expression freezes momentarily before smiling and showing him the sigil ring.
"Would this suffice?"
The butler examines the ring and nods. Probably had dealt with people using such ring.
"If you would please follow me, great elder." He bows and ushers me to follow him.
"Lead the way."
'Nepotism, fuck yeah!'
I follow him into an elevator.
-
It took a bit time to reach the floor.
Why, you ask? Because it's the top floor.
I stepped outside the elevator and froze.
Why again, you ask?
Because in front of me is Grayfia.
Grayfia Fuckin' Lucifuge!
The elevator door behind me closes.
-
Gazing at her, she's 100 times more beautiful than depicted on the internet
Silver back-length twin braided hair. Crimson irises. Red lipstick. And those damned tits that are accentuated by the navy blue vest!
'Aw shit.' I cursed as I felt the sleeping dragon stir.
-
'This is the man who attempted to disguise himself and walk into the main government building?'
Grayfia thought the young man was not right in his head since it is known that this building has one of the best guards in the territory. Hence, why the guards applied pressure on Senex and the head of guards alerted her of the anomaly.
'He did not show any hostility. But why hasn't he cancelled his spell yet. Surely, he is not THAT paranoid'
She was further intrigued when Igmund, the butler in charge of dealing with 'unsavory' visitors, let this man into the elevator and pushed the top floor button. She witnessed everything through [AVC] provided by the guards in the reception area.
'Looking at him in person, he appears harmless. Albeit, his real face looks rather...fiendish.' After thinking that. She closed her eyes to dismiss such thought since appearances can be deceiving.
'What's more, that ring he is wearing. It belongs to the elite of Agares clan. I should inquire on why he is here before letting him meet dear husband. He seems young, so a bit of flattery might loosen his mouth' Her lips arched into a smile.
And so, Grayfia bowed "Welcome, your lordship."
-
Watching Grayfia bow with a smile gave me a half chub.
'Sh-shit! Calm down, you! it's not the time or place!'
I return the bow and with a smile I say "Thank you, lady Grayfia."
"...My, I am honoured to have my name known by an esteemed member of Agares. And so young at that" she cups her own cheek and compliments in a sultry tone.
..
...
....
"Ok." I reply
'Waah....So fake...What the fuck does she want from me. Obviously sucking up to me. That's a major turn off there.'
I deadpan at her attempt to butter me up.
Looking like she's shocked for a moment but that expression disappears as she smiles once more and asks.
"May I have the privilege of knowing your name, your lordship?"
"...Donovan." I answer with a blank face.
"Thank you, lord Donovan." She bows.
'Lots of bowing today. I wish someone would grovel. Heh'
"Yes, anyways. I am here to obtain the Evil pieces. Show me the monument please." I say, wanting to get it over with since she seems to want to know about me, which I don't take kindly to. For the time being.
'Ahh..if only her husband just dies off or both of them become weak. I would have forced you to grovel.' I fantasized for a second.
Realizing that her acting is of no use, her pride takes damage.
"At once, lord Donovan." She replies and leads me to an office. The office of Lucifer.
