Devil Politics

"So that's what happened..." Diehauser frowned after hearing such information and more so, he was extremely angry. Diehauser was a man with a graceful face grey hair and grey eyes.

He was in his study with his cousin, Cleria Belial, who sat opposite him.

"Yes, I could only contact you now due to the risk of being discovered. Luckily, someone helped us that time and concealed our location."

"Then I must thank that person for saving you," Diehauser said. He was extremely grateful to that person who saved his cousin. One must know that he treated Cleria as a biological sister and was protective of her.

"He should arrive here if I contacted him though he is busy right now. Besides, he said to contact him and he will connect us to one of the Satans," Cleria nodded. "Truthfully, he already said some steps so we can resolve the problem regarding the King piece. Though, we must be careful otherwise those old devils will notice."

"I know, I also did my investigation though I didn't know who the masterminds were before, now, all the pieces are coming together." Diehauser nodded. He knew their enemies now are those extremely high up in the devil's political positions. They were on par with the four great Satans in terms of influence. Though they may have lower overall strength, they can still shake the whole of devil society if they wanted to.

Of course, as the champion of the rating games dubbed "The Emperor", he has a large influence as well, both on commoners and nobles. But this cannot be compared with the influence of the Great King's Faction.

Those guys are the controllers in the dark. They control most of the devil society's political and economic circles. This might sound outrageous but in truth, the four great Satans are merely figureheads to stabilize the devil society. That is due to them being hailed as heroes after the devil civil war 500 years ago.

Yes, the Satans are powerful and have power as well but they only deal with some aspects like foreign relations and such. Most of the devil society is controlled by the Great King Faction led by Zekram Bael.

"Then contact your savior first and we'll try to get in contact with the Satans. I have met them so I am most assured that they will help," Although he said that, Diehauser still felt some hesitation.

"Alright," Cleria nodded before contacting Raizel through magic.

{Hello, Cleria?}

{Raizel, I've talked with my brother, Diehauser. Can you contact Lady Grayfia now?}

{Alright, wait for her there. Also, I'm going as well.}

{How are you going to teleport here? You don't know where this is, right? And aren't you going to be in danger?}

{I have my ways and don't worry, I will be okay...perhaps.}

And the call was cut off.

"He said he's going here," Cleria said.

"Excellent, I can thank him in person," Diehauser smiled. "Also, how about telling me about my niece."

"Haha, yes of course."

.....

Raizel's Team Headquarters~

"It's finally time," Raizel felt excited. Finally, some of his plans will be in motion. This was only the beginning but this small step will be the foundation on which his plans will stand.

"I should take Vali and Frankenstein with me," He muttered. He believes those two can help him. Although he feels that the chances of things going wrong are below 50 percent, it's better to be prepared.

{Frankenstein, come to my lab and bring Vali. We will be going on a business trip.}

{Yes, master.}

He waited for some time before the two arrived. After that, they teleported to their destination the underworld in Belial Territory.

.....

Meanwhile, at Sirzechs's office, Grayfia was calmly serving her husband tea when she felt a slight shock run through her before a message directly appeared in her mind.

[Lady Grayfia Lucifuge, I left this message to inform you about an important piece of information that I came across, it can overturn the whole Devil Society if it were leaked. If you want to know more, go to the Belial Clan's territory with Satan Lucifer. You must not let anyone know about it. Also, in case you're wondering, this is an encrypted message I left during our first meeting.]

'How?!' Grayfia felt chills running through her. She remembered that young man she met years ago and felt some trepidation from him. If he could leave a message in her without her or those around her noticing it then she doesn't even dare think about if he meant any harm.

"...fia, Grayfia?"

"Ah?" Coming out of her stupor, she heard Sirzechs's worried voice. "I'm okay but it seems we need to go somewhere, Lord Sirzechs."

"Go somewhere? Where?" Sirzechs asked. He noticed how Grayfia's face seemed a bit pale. He reckoned it was due to this sudden request.

"To the Belial clan's territory," She replied. She wasn't sure if what the message contains is true but she has a feeling it is.

"..." Sirzechs observed her for a moment before nodding, "Alright"

Afterward, the two teleported out of the office.

.....

Belial Clan~

"So you were the one who saved my sister, thank you very much." Diehauser bowed toward Raizel.

"You're welcome," Raizel simply said. "But before anything, they should be arriving right about now."

In the queue to Raizel's statement, a magic circle with the Gremory Clan's symbol appeared and two new people arrived.

"It's you?!" Grayfia, upon seeing Raizel involuntarily exclaimed.

"Grayfia, you know him?" Sirzechs stared at Raizel curiously. For his normally serious and cold wife to be that surprised to lose control, this young man must be someone she knew.

"Nice to meet you, Satan Lucifer. The name is Cadiz Etrama Di Raizel, please just call me Raizel." He greeted me as a courtesy.

"Raizel, was it? So what is happening here, Mr. Diehauser?" Sirzechs said. He turned his attention to someone he greatly knew.

"My apologies for the poor reception, Lord Lucifer. But I will explain to you everything, please hear me out." Diehauser said. He then started narrating everything that Cleria told him.

Cleria herself further told Sirzechs those she knew. From how she found out about the existence of the King pieces to her being hunted down with her lover. And finally, them being saved by Raizel.

....

"...Is this all true?" Sirzechs took a deep breath. If this is all true then it's really important information.

"Yes, I have all pieces of evidence with me. I also managed to get one of the King pieces during my investigation," Cleria took out a pile of documents and an evil piece.

Sirzechs read through it but with just the King piece in his hand, all of the things he heard were proven to be the truth.

"...Do not worry Lady Cleria, I will talk with my fellow Satans and try to find a solution for this."

"If I may interrupt your conversation," All attention gathered to Raizel. "I believe I have the best course of action to safely resolve this issue."

"And who might you be?" Sirzechs asked curiously.

"I was the one who saved Lady Cleria," Raizel said. "–As I was saying earlier, I have the safest solution for this issue. But it needs a year or two of preparation before it can be put into motion. We have the evidence here but if we arbitrarily released it, chaos would ensue. So I propose this plan."

Raizel raised his palm and a swirl of blood appeared before a folder was left. He passes it to Sirzechs.

"Please read this and tell me your thoughts," He smirked. He was confident this plan will work, why? Because it was the same thing, Diehauser did in the series with some tweaks, of course.

"...This is a good plan," Sirzechs nodded. "–but I must talk with my fellow Satans first. So with that, all said, please excuse us."

"Farewell, Lord Lucifer," Diehauser and Cleria bowed. Raizel and his companions just stood, after all, they weren't under the devil's faction.

After Sirzechs and Grayfia left, Raizel and his companions stayed with the Belial Clan for some time before leaving.
