Sirzechs was sitting behind his desk in his office doing his usual paperwork, ever since the day he was pushed to become the new Lucifer he started to feel like he's getting busier by the day.

So even when his best friend Ajuka Beelzebub gave him some days off to rest, he still need to deal with some important and necessary jobs every day after he came back.

"After becoming a devil king I'm even more tired than during the civil war." Sirzechs sighed thinking in all the paperwork that he still need to read.

So, at this moment, a blue light filled his room and the terrible magic fluctuation made his eyes look towards the magic circle in the middle of his room. The moment he saw his own family crest, he stopped his hand that would fire a sphere made of his destruction power to erase the teleportation circle. He did nothing to stop the magic circle and then two figures appear directly in his room.

Sirzechs eyes first fell on the beautiful silver haired woman wearing a french maid costume and he instantly smiled upon seeing his wife. Then he look to the boy at her side, he know who he is very well.

"Nero Lucifer, did you come to the Gremory house to talk with me?"

"Well, your majesty, I dont have any acquaintances in the Gremory's house, and it's even more impossible for me to be invited here as guest without any political reasen being the current head of one of the biggest families in the old faction."

When it comes to a normal relationship between the new Demon King and the descendant of the original Demon King's family, it's normal to think that they will oppose each other like oil and water. But Sirzechs hung up a gentle smile in his face when looking to Nero.

"Then what is the problem? The servants of the Lucifer family have all been taken away by your grandfather, so do you need help from the underworld?"

Sirzechs was sincere in his offer, if Nero asked for help then he would do his best to help the boy, after all, the boy is the son of his wife's best friend.

"It's not about that problem, nothing is more safer than a devil king level guardian. Compared with those superficial problem, what I really want to talk with you is about my grandfather Rizevim Livan Lucifer."

When the name Rizevim was mentioned, Sirzechs got serious, this was within Nero's expectations, so he just continued.

"When Rizevim was about to leave the Underworld, he put his energy into my heart to make me act as his spy and insider informant, and then provide him with information about the current situation in the Underworld and some defense information. This time he didn't leave the underworld to flee, he took the remaining powers of the old faction to start his plans and get even more allies to form a alliance named Chaos Briggade, it was all a premeditated action."

Hearing Nero's confession, even Grayfia was stunned and she prepared to save the boy if the Sirzechs decided to destroy while still shocked. Her reaction was obvious to Nero and he choose to trust her.

Sirzechs stood up from his chair with a serious expression on his face after the brief stun from the information, just when Grayfia he would attack, he lighly bowed to Nero.

"Thank you for the warning, it is very important to protect the underworld. If possible, I need more informations about Rizevim, but dont put yourself in danger and dont alert him."

Now Nero was satisfied with the current situation of being a double agent and receiving the trust of one of the strongest persons in the world.

"Of course, your majesty Sirzechs."

Nero smiled and continued his previous talking with Sirzech

"I dont know very much about the inner details involving why Rizevim left the underworld this time, but I do know that he seemed to say something about a war and about letting the old faction develop their power until a critical moment when he will start a new civil war. Also I dont know exactly which devils signed contracts with my grandfather, but I remember something about the Naberius family and adquire a transcendental experiment."

"I understand." Sirzechs nodded but didn't promise anything or said that he didn't believe the boy. "I already know what you said, and the devil kings will participate in the investigation, but we still need to discuss with the devil council. We have learned your information, but please do not reveal any faults to Rizevim, otherwise your safety will be in jeopardy."

"I know... and, if possible, I intend to continue to play the role of Rizevim's insider inside the underworld. After all, if my grandfather senses any variables or danger in his plans, he might start making trouble or directly start a civil war to distract the new satanic faction while doing something else. So we cannot let him see any big changes."

Nero isn't lying because he needs a quiet and safe place to train his skills and become strong enough to survive a fight against Rizevim. But what he didn't know is that Sirzechs misunderstood his acts as bravery and kindness towards the citizens of the underworld, and he became even more interesting and friendly in Sirzechs' eyes because he had the feeling of having discovered a friend who also cares for the people.

After the two of them finished their short conversation, Nero ask Grayfia to send him back home.
