-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

While Kuroka and Koneko enjoyed their new life together in Meelis' and Rias' peerages, things were not all what they seem in the Underworld.

The higher ups of some Devil Houses from the many houses under the Great King Faction were currently discussing the incident with the Naberius House and the implications of the move made by the Four Great Satans Faction.

"This is clearly provocation! They clearly targeted the Naberius to undermine our authority." Spoke some Duchess rank Devil.

Another Duke rank Devil, draped in deep crimson robes, stood up, her sharp voice cutting through the murmurs. "It is a disgrace," she began, slamming her palm on the table, looking at the other Devils in the meeting. "This so-called 'Four Great Satans' dare to challenge our ancient rights! Their claims that the Naberius have conducted cruel experiments hold no merit, there is no evidence whatsoever to prove that the Naberius did what they did!"

"Actually, there is." Another Devils voice sounded, as the others turned to look at the voice's owner, they realized it was the leader of the Great King Faction, Lord Bael.

"A few days ago, Sirzechs released all the evidence of the experiments done by the Naberius to our faction to prove that their move was warranted, everything was proven to be true, so we have no foot to stand on, as for where he got all that evidence, I do not know, maybe there was a mole in the Naberius house, not that it matters anymore." Though his voice was calm, it was clear that he was not happy at all about the situation, especially that Sirzechs had somehow accumulated all that evidence without their knowledge, he even thought there might be a mole in their faction too, something which he wanted to find out figure out and exterminate.

{Author: In cannon, the way kuroka is pardoned of her 'crimes' is that the evidence of the experiments was found which proved her innocent for self-defense, as for where said evidence was all those years, well it was in koneko's ear clip.}

If Meelis was here, he would be laughing since he simply took Koneko's ear clip and told Sirzechs the evidence was hidden inside, to which the Satan just gave it to Ajuka for testing and extracting.

Continuing, Lord Bael stated, "Aside from that, our own channels have gathered that of the people involved in the take down of the Naberius House, an unknown boy and the 'Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation', Grayfia Lucifuge, were reported to be part of the operation.

At the mention of Grayfia, several devils scoffed at the Great Kings Faction's traitor's name, but inwardly were a bit scared since Grayfia is one of the strongest Devils currently alive, not to mention the second strongest Female Devil, second only to Serafall Leviathan.

"Putting aside that woman, I used my channels to bribe some of the servants within the Gremory Mansion, I came to learn that the boy that participated in the Naberius take down is a boy name Meelis Zagan." Lord Bael said with a very serious tone.

Though the Zagans weren't the strongest House, they were still valued by the Devil Pillars, especially now that all the 32 remaining Pillars have become divided between the Four Great Satans Faction and the Great King Faction. The conditions for agriculture in the Underworld were terrible, even with lots revolutionary methods made by Ajuka, and exports made from other realms and the human world, quality food in the Underworld was expensive, and as Lords in charge of their houses, having a connection with the Zagans, the House who was in charge of feeding the Underworld, not only would they save on expenses they would also make lots of connections solely relying on the Zagans, so finding out that there was a boy named Meelis Zagan in Sirzechs care infuriated the members of the Great King Faction.

 

A wave of objections and heated arguments followed, filling the conference with clamor. Some argued for swift military action to crush the Gremories, others for blackmail and threats to regain the Zagan member, who they considered one of their own. But amid the chaos, one fact became clear: their authority was indeed crumbling, not because of the Zagan kid alone, but due to their inability to act with a united front and their outdated views on their standing of power. Their arrogance was the very tool the opposing faction expertly wielded against them.

As the shouting continued, Lord Bael, in a rare moment of insight stood up abruptly, raising his hand to silence the arguments, "Enough! We are tearing ourselves apart over blame while our enemies grow stronger! If we cannot agree to confront this threat together, then we may as well relinquish our titles now. For if we do nothing, the Four Great Satans will force our hands."

Silence fell, the reality of their predicament settling over the council like a storm cloud. The lords exchanged uneasy glances, each realizing that their authority was being chipped away, if they cannot weaken the Four Great Satans Faction, then their own authority and strength would dwindle and their lead over the Four Great Satans faction would shorten.

"Since it has come to this, then lets leak the information of Meelis Zagan, if he really is a Zagan, no matter how much Sirzechs tries to hide him, the truth will eventually come out, and I refuse to believe that once the new spreads other Devil Houses will not jointly pressure for the Zagan Kid's Introduction Ceremony, not to mention those Crows and Pigeons will certainly be interested in these news, once the kid is exposed to the world, we will lure him into our faction." Lord Bael stated with absolute confidence that his plans would go accordingly.

-Scene Change-

It has been about a week since Kuroka joined Meelis' peerage.

Meelis has been busy accumulating LP, making skills, and training under Kuroka in Senjutsu. He made good progress, not only in making some useful skills for the future, but also some training in fields like magic, swordsmanship, and Senjutsu.

'Status."

(Alluring Scent)

[Produces a scent which females will enjoy, the longer a female is exposed to the scent, the more the female will seek the host.]

(Senjutsu(F))

[A Sage and Youkai technique revolving around Life Force. Using this technique the user is able to control internal and external Life Force to produce a variety of moves.]

{Author: I was pretty vague on the Senjutsu description, but Senjutsu in dxd is pretty OP. It's basically just sage mode combined with magic. Users could attack others inside or control the environment not to mention use healing skills and remove curses, hell females have access to Bedroom arts with their partners which literally BOOSTS luck and promotes healing and regens lost lifespan, anyways for more details go to the dxd wiki for Senjutsu, anything senjutsu can do mc can since it's the same skill (Minus racial skills), also its F rank since he just learned it in case you were wondering, as proficiency increases so will the rank.}

(Master-Servant Pact)

[A contract in which two people bind their souls, allowing for the master to track their location. A curse, of the users choosing, activates when the servant betrays or feels guilt toward their master. As the servants trust and loyalty grows, the master and servant are strengthened.]

{Author: Again, I did not fully explain in detail about the skill/spell. MC modified it to punish people with whatever curse he wants since he is not an incubus and cannot make it an aphrodisiac curse normally. Anyways for more details look up the wiki.}

Looking at his hard work over the week, Meelis was ecstatic. Sadly, he was playing the long game right now, so he couldn't directly use most of his skills to get his prize. While Meelis was not very patient with these things, he wasn't about to start doing those things with an 11-year-old body, so he wanted to fully exploit his age to get close and then by the time he reaches at least 15 he would strike.

'Luckily, I can at least use the servant spell on Kuroka, she won't mind me doing it since technically speaking she's already my servant, just via an Evil Piece. As for my scent, although I initially made it for the other women, it was surprisingly effective on the nekomata, Kuroka constantly sneaks into my room to cuddle in my bed at night, and Koneko is always following me around despite not doing or saying anything, much to Rias' grumbles. Maybe it's because of their higher sense of smell.' Meelis pondered.

'Since I'm not strong enough to do the pact without the moon, I must head to the Human world and wait for the full moon to be able to put kuroka under the contract. While I could just get Sirzechs to let Grayfia take me there, I don't want to just head to the human world without some other reason other than to just do one thing.'

As Meelis was planning his trip to the Human world, Grayfia came up to him and called out. "Meelis-sama, Sirzechs-sama wants to see you, it's for an important matter."

"?"Meelis was confused.
