"As expected, someone couldn't sit still anymore."
In the Lord's Mansion of the Castlevania, Rias sat on her throne, murmuring playfully with her chin resting on her hand.
After Rias obtained the territory, she immediately created the Castlevania. Subsequently, her peerage and the subordinates she brought from "Shinigami" were all arranged to stay there.
Not long after Rias released the news, many devils moved to the Castlevania.
It couldn't be helped; the devils had long since lost any channels for promotion.
Even if someone occasionally managed to be promoted, it was entirely because they had a connection with a High-Class Devil.
Although the Rating Game was a channel for devil promotion, ordinary devils couldn't even participate if they wanted to.
To participate in a Rating Game, one either had to possess Evil Pieces and lead a team as a High-Class Devil...
...or cling to the coattails of a High-Class Devil who owned Evil Pieces, only then having a chance to distinguish themselves in the game.
Furthermore, since devils live much longer than humans, many devils had long since become numb, seeing no hope for promotion.
After Rias released the news, there were those who wanted to become citizens of her territory, those who wanted to send their children to the Castlevania, and even some ambitious individuals who wanted to help break the current status quo of the devils.
Among the various types of people, there was naturally no lack of malice.
The promotion of commoners among the devils interrupted the monopoly of the nobles.
This was naturally a good thing for the devils as a whole, but it was a bad thing for the nobles~
The Devil Council was currently bickering with Sirzechs and the others. On the point of opening up promotion routes for devils, the Four Demon Kings and Rias stood on the same side.
This was not only based on their affection for Rias but also on the aspects of their positions and hope.
In this regard, the Four Demon Kings exerted a great deal of effort.
While the Devil Council was being held back, someone Rias had been watching for a long time jumped out.
Rizevim Lucifer.
The biological son of the First Generation Lucifer and Lilith.
"Is it because of Vali Lucifer..."
Rias murmured, then stood up.
"Or perhaps he just came to the Castlevania to take a look? After all, that guy is quite willful~"
"Regardless, a child who wants to escape from the dark vortex should not be forcefully dragged back by it."
Spreading her wings, Rias vanished from the spot in an instant.
Perhaps having learned news of the Castlevania, Vali Lucifer escaped with the help of a servant.
And the direction he took was precisely toward the Castlevania!
By this time, Vali had already reached the outskirts of the Castlevania, but—
Rias's crimson butterfly had already noticed that the person trailing behind Vali was none other than Rizevim!
In this world, he was a major figure recorded in the Bible under the name 'Lilin'.
His personality... was extremely wicked.
"Almost there, I'm almost there."
In an extremely wretched state, the desperately fleeing Vali looked at the massive Castlevania, his eyes involuntarily showing a glimmer of hope.
He was about to enter the Castlevania. With his status as a direct descendant of Lucifer and the host of the white dragon emperor, he would surely be able to distinguish himself.
And then... he would take revenge on that madman!
Thinking of his vanished mother and the tragic death of the servant who helped him escape, a look of hatred appeared in Vali's eyes.
"I will definitely kill you!!"
Perhaps because he saw hope, Vali couldn't help but murmur aloud.
"My cute, dear grandson, who are you going to kill?"
A playful voice appeared, causing Vali's entire body to stiffen.
Running fast had left his legs extremely fatigued and powerless; he fell directly to the ground, his whole body trembling.
Vali slowly raised his head to look into the air, and as expected, he saw that man.
Silver hair, a goatee on his chin, and an extremely arrogant expression.
He looked like a wild and uninhibited middle-aged man; many young girls would be attracted by his appearance.
But Vali knew that this person was scum.
Because it was 'interesting', he made the whole family, including the servants, persecute his own grandson together.
Even when Vali tried to protect his mother, he would be beaten for it.
Vali's hatred for him had long since reached his marrow; no matter how much time passed, he would never forget this person's hideous face.
In comparison, the creature known as 'father' was just a pathetic piece of trash.
"Why..."
Vali suppressed his instinctive physical fear and roared, "Why are you here, you bastard!!"
"Does such a question even need to be asked?"
Rizevim said with an amused face, "I didn't know if my dear grandson was brainless; you clearly know your grandpa likes to play, yet you actually thought you could escape from the palm of my hand~"
"I casually tossed that woman into the Human World, and then gave that servant who usually felt guilty toward you a little bit of hope. As expected, under his instigation, you fled toward the Castlevania."
"I really am a genius. As expected, I saw what I wanted to see. How wonderful~"
Looking at Vali's despairing expression, Rizevim couldn't help but show a wicked smile.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"
Vali lay powerlessly on the ground, his fists pounding the earth from time to time.
Tears couldn't help but fall, and his fists were covered in blood.
"Now then, my good grandson, do your grandpa a favor next~"
Rizevim glanced playfully at the nearby Castlevania, then looked back at Vali.
To build this Castlevania in such a short time—even he couldn't imagine such methods; it was simply like a miracle.
No matter how cautious one was with such a figure, it wouldn't be enough, even if the person who created the miracle was just a little girl... No, it was precisely because that devil was a little girl that she was even more terrifying.
Born with innate knowledge, and in just over six years, she had grown to this step.
Who would believe that!
Maybe it's a certain big shot reincarnated with their memories, for example... the God of the Bible!
Returning from the dead—that was the signature performance of the God of the Bible. Although it was hard to imagine, it was the only thing that made sense.
Sirzechs, the sister of that monster, might be the reincarnation of the God of the Bible!
Facing such a person, even if Rizevim wanted to test them, it was impossible for him to personally run to someone else's headquarters.
That wasn't testing; that was looking for death.
"You want me to scout information on the Castlevania?"
Vali was stunned for a moment, then realized Rizevim's plan.
"Smart~"
Rizevim raised an eyebrow and said, "As expected of my grandson, your brain is quite useful."
"Hmm... all that's missing is this one beating; as expected, your grandpa still loves you~"
Hearing Rizevim's words, Vali's face turned ashen, and he felt nauseated inside.
This guy... this guy... I'll kill you!!
Vali roared inwardly, followed by despair.
Could he really not escape from the palm of his hand?
Vali stared blankly at Rizevim, then suddenly froze.
His original despair was replaced by something else: astonishment.
"Hmm, why are you looking at me like that?"
Rizevim frowned slightly as he watched Vali's expression.
Because he discovered that Vali's despairing expression had been replaced by something.
"Is there something on me?"
Rizevim examined his clothes, and then... he slowly turned his head.
Under the moonlight, crimson wings were shimmering with a brilliant radiance.
And the owner of those wings was precisely the person Rizevim had been thinking about.
A little girl so young she seemed cute, with a gaze that was ice-cold, yet made one's heart turn cold.
Rias Gremory!
