The party - part One

Chapter 10 "The party - part One"

POV Third person view

As time passed, the long-awaited party day dawned. The palace hall was meticulously decorated, transforming into a masterpiece of grandeur, with towering marble columns adorned with ancient golden carvings and massive chandeliers emitting light like stars from the sky. The atmosphere was suffused with an aura of majesty and elegance, showcasing the power and prestige of the Gremory family.

The attendees were a mix of demon nobles and Maou of the Underworld, each surrounded by an aura of power and authority, giving the hall an air of solemnity and tension.

Sirzechs Lucifer, as one of the Three Maou, was the first to arrive. Tall and strikingly handsome, he wore a black cloak embellished with silver threads reflecting his royal persona. His deep red eyes glimmered with determination and resolve. He appeared as a prominent leader, offering a calm greeting to the guests, yet remaining vigilant to protect his family, especially his son, Aiden.

Beside him was Grayfia Lucifuge, dressed in a stunning silver gown fitting her role as the lady of the house. Her cool and elegant features exhibited an inner strength and unshakable confidence. She observed everything with care, radiating a mesmerizing beauty that commanded respect from everyone without the need for words.

Ajuka Beelzebub also attended, characterized by his intellectual demeanor and eyes reflecting unmatched brilliance. He wore a dark blue formal outfit, accompanied by a faint smile. It was clear he was deep in thought, possibly about the research projects with Aiden, but he maintained a distinguished presence, exchanging greetings with other notable figures.

Serafall Leviathan, with her usual vivacity, appeared in her magical girl outfit, a sparkling pink dress with small wings hanging from her back. Her magic staff in hand added a touch of whimsical charm, lightening the serious mood of the party and balancing the atmosphere between seriousness and levity. Despite her playful appearance, she was capable of shifting the mood from light-hearted to serious as needed.

As the Three Maou conversed, discussions revolved around the significant events surrounding the Gremory family.

Sirzechs spoke calmly but with thoughtful undertones: "Are you really ready for this, Serafall?"

Ajuka Beelzebub, with a mischievous smile, added: "I can't believe you agreed to this, especially you, Serafall."

Serafall, with enthusiasm and cheerfulness, interrupted, waving her magic staff: "Of course I agreed to this. I'm eager to see Aiden's reaction."

She added with a broad smile, looking at them: "Did you bring the camera?" Ajuka and Siriseks exchanged glances before pulling out the camera from their pockets with broad smiles.

In Aiden's bedroom, where he was getting dressed for the party, he suddenly sneezed and felt a shiver run down his spine, wondering why he felt a sense of animosity coming towards him.

In another part of the hall, some young demons gathered in a quiet corner discussing the party and their expectations of what would happen.

Raiser Phoenix, as arrogant as ever and thinking the world revolved around him, spoke loudly and confidently: "Aiden? That kid? All this fuss about him is unwarranted. I don't understand why he's treated like the next miracle. He's just a child, no matter how powerful he is."

Beside him, Diodora Astaroth nodded in agreement. "I agree, Raiser. I've seen many powerful demons crumble under pressure. Aiden will be no exception."

Latia Astaroth was annoyed by Raiser and Diodora's words, and replied coldly, "You might not know him well, but Aiden is not just a child. There is something about him... something different. And I trust what they are saying is true."

Sona Sitri, who had been listening in silence, added, "Power is not something to be underestimated, Raiser. We have seen Aiden at different stages of his growth, and we know what he is capable of. He is more than just a child."

Raiser laughed arrogantly, directing his gaze toward Latia and Sona: "You are all exaggerating about him just because he is from the Gremory family. Let's see how he handles it when he starts facing real challenges. In the end, the Underworld is unforgiving."

Diodora, with a sinister smile, added, "True. The family won't protect him forever. He needs to show his strength, or he will become a burden to them."

Latia, despite her usual cold demeanor, responded firmly: "Maybe, but Aiden faces those challenges and overcomes them. What matters is how he uses his power, not just possessing it."

The discussion among the young demons continued, as the tension in the hall rose, with everyone waiting to see what the "miracle" they were talking about would be.

While Aiden was preparing for the party, his grandmother, who seemed determined to make him look his best, decided that it was necessary for him to wear an extremely elaborate dress. She had prepared a red dress decorated with lace and silk, which was perfectly suitable for children, and she thought it would make all the male demons melt with admiration.

But Aiden, standing in front of the mirror, felt that his grandmother might be a real demon, not just his dear grandmother. The idea of him looking so cute in the dress made Aiden anxious. When his grandmother held the dress and asked him to put it on, Aiden began to refuse strongly as he imagined a male demon rushing toward him saying, "Who are you, my dear?" Aiden responded that he was a boy, and heard the sound of hearts breaking, including The other boys in the party, and everyone began to doubt life.

"No, Grandma, I don't want to wear this dress! I'm a boy, not a girl!"

His grandmother replied with a smile, "But my dear, you look so wonderful! Everyone will love you, and they will be happy to see you looking like this."

Aiden, placing his hand on his heart, sighed and said, "I'm sure all the demons will think I'm turning into a real girl, not just a boy wearing a dress."

In the end, with his grandmother's insistence, Aiden wore the outfit that was much better than the dress she preferred. The outfit was bright red, designed elegantly to suit his young appearance. The fabric was soft and flexible, with golden details adding a touch of luxury.

His grandmother looked at Aiden in the outfit and said with joy, "Oh, you look amazing! No one will believe you were refusing."

Aiden, looking at himself in the mirror, pointed to his outfit and said with a challenging smile, "So, I guess I'll attract hearts even if I didn't want to!"

When Aiden heard a knock on the door, Rias's voice came from outside: "Aiden, are you ready?"

Aiden replied, looking at his red outfit in the mirror, "Not yet, I just need to make sure everything is alright."

Rias entered the room, her heart started beating fast when she saw him in the elegant outfit. The outfit was a bright red, adorned with golden details, and designed to perfectly match his small frame. She looked at Aiden in astonishment, her face blushing from the stunning effect of his appearance.

"Aiden, you look amazing!" Rias said, trying to hide the blush on her face. "You look like you're ready for a royal evening."

Aiden, feeling shy about Rias's attention, replied awkwardly, "Thank you, Rias. You also look stunning in your dress. It sparkles like you're a princess."

Rias's dress was sky blue, decorated with silver embroidery that sparkled under the light, making it look like a piece of the sky itself. She completed with a shy smile: "You know, if we were in a different time, we would look like a wonderful couple at this evening."

Aiden, feeling extremely shy upon hearing this, blushed even more and began to stammer: "Ah, I don't know what to say. All of this seems... surprising."

Rias laughed gently and said, "No need to be embarrassed, just enjoy the party. We will be the couple who catches everyone's eye." While being watched by the grandmother with a smile.

As Aiden and Rias went out together with their grandmother, each felt shy about the sweet interactions between them, but also delighted to share this special evening.

Then he stepped into the party, and each step reminded him of his grandmother's loving struggle to make this occasion special.

When the party started, the announcer's voice rang out in the hall, saying: "Dear guests, we welcome you all to this special evening. We are pleased to announce the arrival of Rias Gremory and Aiden Gremory!"

Aiden and Rias descended from the grand staircase leading to the party hall, where Aiden attracted attention with his unique appearance. He wore an elegant red outfit, adorned with golden details that glittered under the lights. His hair was red like a setting sun, flowing smoothly around his face, and his eyes glowed red like rubies, adding irresistible charm. His skin was soft and pink, enhancing his delicate and attractive appearance. As soon as he appeared, the boys were embarrassed and blushed, while the girls were doubtful about the magic behind this extraordinary beauty.

As for Rias, she wore a sky-blue dress, adorned with sparkling silver embroidery. The dress highlighted her beauty magnificently, with delicate details around her chest and shoulders. Her sparkling eyes reflected the lights, and her round face added a soft and elegant touch to her look.

The grandmother, who wore an elegant traditional dress, watched the scene with pride. Her outfit was a mix of refined colors, completing her majestic and royal appearance.

Aiden and Rias's appearance sparked lively discussions among the guests. Whispers and comments rose, as boys noted Aiden's captivating beauty and blushed, while girls wondered about the reason for this supernatural beauty. Upon realizing that Aiden was a boy, there was a feeling of disappointment in the hall, and a sad sound came from the boys as if their hearts had been broken, while some opened up to a new world. Little did Aiden know, his appearance had created some monsters.
