At that time, the Lukifergus family naturally had enormous power, and the patriarch of the family was almost equivalent to the devil's prime minister.
However, after the great war involving two worlds and three clans, three of the four great demon kings died, the former demon king faction gradually declined, and the Lukifugus family no longer had its former glory.
The Lukifergus family wants to restore their former glory and take back their own rights. As a new generation of demons, Grayfia has outstanding talents and abilities, and is one of the best in the entire new generation.
Because of this, she has received great attention from the family, who hope to regain the power that belongs to the family through Grayfia's efforts.
However, such attention and expectations also brought great physical and mental pressure to Grayfia. The repeated failures at Leviathan also made Grayfia's pressure even greater.
Although Saigo's proposal now seems to be a conspiracy with bad intentions, for Grayfia, she urgently needs to succeed to prove herself.
No matter how calm and composed her personality is, Grayfia is still a young demon.
When facing the old man Saigo, she would naturally be seen through by Saigo at a glance and fall into the spider web he had woven.
"Sister, don't agree to this kind of bet easily, especially if it involves your life!"
At this time, among the group of new generation demons from the old Demon King's faction that followed Grayfia, a young boy who looked like he was less than 10 years old stood up anxiously.
The little boy had a handsome appearance, but at this moment he looked terrified, and was anxiously trying to stop Grayfia.
He is the eldest son of Lucifergus and the younger brother of Grayfia, Euclid Lucifergus.
It’s not that the young Euclid is calmer and wiser than Grayfia.
Instead, Saigo had been using an open strategy from the very beginning. His words almost clearly told others that there was something fishy in his words.
Both Grayfia and Euclid could understand what this meant, but Euclid could not understand the tremendous pressure his sister was under from being oppressed by her family.
What Saigo has always taken advantage of is nothing more than human nature, and this is the devil's cunningness.
Seeing her brother's attempt to stop her, Grayfia smiled at her. She knew that her brother did not understand the family pressure he was under, and she did not want to tell him about these things.
Grayfia just said in a gentle tone: "...Don't worry, Euclid, I know what's going on."
Seeing Grayfia's smile, Euclid blushed, lowered his head, and retreated obediently, no longer trying to stop her.
Then Grayfia looked at Saigo with a serious expression and asked in a deep voice: "...Sir Saigo, now can you tell me what your bet is!"
Saigo drank the wine in his glass leisurely. He looked at Grayfia's calm, wise and beautiful face and smiled softly:
"…It's nothing too complicated. My bet is very simple. Let's decide the outcome with a battle."
"If you can win this battle, then I will represent the Gremory family and join your old demon king faction. I will even cheer for you in the parliament and help you regain your seat as one of the four demon kings."
When Xixiang finished speaking, everyone looked at him in surprise.
Whether it was Grayfia, Serafla, or the new generation of the old Demon King faction that followed them, even Sirzechs, they all looked at their father with incredible eyes.
The new generation of demons from the old Demon King faction were all excited at this time, as if they couldn't believe that Saigo would make such a promise.
You have to know that Saigo's behavior not only represents the Gremory family, it may even cause internal divisions among the reformists.
If the Gremory clan really turns to support the old Demon King faction, then the reform faction is likely to fall apart internally, and the political propositions of the old Demon King faction will have a chance to be realized.
Such a promise was almost unbelievable to them, so much so that everyone looked towards Gremory.
Although many demons knew that Lady Gremory almost obeyed her husband's orders, he had actually become the head of the Gremory family.
But would Lady Gremory agree to such a big thing? Would she continue to support her husband's nonsense?
Who would have thought that after hearing Saigo's proposal, Gremory seemed to find it very interesting. She nodded repeatedly and clapped her hands happily, saying, "...This is a good proposal."
"Of course I will support my father...my husband!"
After hearing that even Gremory-sama agreed to the proposal, all eyes fell on Grayfia.
Especially the new generation of reformists, their eyes were full of urging emotions.
By this time Grayfia had already sensed something was wrong, she found herself as if she were being roasted on a fire.
If she rejected Saigo's proposal at this time, she could imagine how other families of the old Demon King faction would view her. Even her own family would be dissatisfied with her.
Grayfia suddenly felt that Saigo was a terrifying person. He rejected her choice in just a few words. Grayfia could only bite the bullet and ask, "...So what is the price I have to pay if I lose?"
Grayfia still remained calm at this time. Since it was a bet, both parties should pay the price.
Saigo shook a finger and said, "…If you lose, you will join the Gremory family as an individual and become my exclusive maid, and the head maid of the Gremory family."
"As for the deadline, of course it's forever! After all, the Gremory family is risking betrayal of the reformists in making a bet with you. The Gremory family's promise in exchange for your lifelong loyalty, this bet should be equal, right?"
As Saigo finished speaking, the reformist demons looked at Grayfia anxiously, hoping that she would agree quickly.
"Grayfia, just accept the bet. No matter how you look at it, you're the winner!"
"That's right, Grayfia! You have to think about your family and the difficulties we are facing now. If you succeed, everything will change!"
These reformist demons are talking without any hesitation. If Grayfia succeeds, the old demon king faction will gain huge benefits.
If Grayfia fails, the only one who will pay the price will be Grayfia himself, and it will have nothing to do with them. Of course, we should support such a good thing.
Grayfia took a deep breath, clenched her fists and asked Saigo, "...So who are the two sides of this bet? Me and you?"
Saigo has always been very mysterious in the past, and people thought he was an ordinary devil, but Grayfia dare not underestimate him.
Any demon who could survive that war should never be underestimated, especially since Grayfia knew nothing about him. This battle made Grayfia feel uneasy.
Unexpectedly, Saigo shook his head and said, "...I am an old man, so there is no need for me to fight with young people. Of course, my son should do my father's work."
“Sirzex, you will be the one to make the bet with Grayfia on behalf of the Gremory family. Remember, the honor of the Gremory family now depends on you.”
Sirzechs hesitated to speak, but he was a good and filial child.
Although this incident was caused by Saigo, when it came to the honor of the Gimondi family, Sirzechs' blood boiled and he felt a huge sense of honor!
"Since this is your request, father, I will certainly comply!"
Sirzechs nodded vigorously.
“Don’t underestimate the opponent, and don’t show mercy just because she’s a girl. If you lose, your wish won’t be fulfilled, Sirzechs!”
Saigo added fuel to the fire and said Khan again.
"No, father, I will not show any mercy. I will fight Grayfia with the intention of killing her!"
Sirzechs' eyes were filled with murderous intent.
When she heard that her opponent was Sirzechs, Grayfia breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Sirzechs is also well-known among the new-age demons, I at least know him well, and the outcome of this battle is still unknown.
If the target of her battle was Saigo, a completely unknown person, it would make Grayfia feel awkward.
The unknown is the scariest thing! .
Chapter 47: For that man, I must win!
(Playing Zhu Zi makes me eager to think about it and prepare to write another elf.)
The Gremory family, as one of the highest class of devil nobles, owns a vast area, and even has a standard arena for fighting competitions within the mansion.
There are many defensive spells arranged around the venue to protect the spectators from being harmed.
Although the level of defensive techniques here cannot withstand a fight with true demon king-level demons, it still has enough protection against higher-level demons.
Although Sirzechs and Grayfia are the leaders of the younger generation, they are still young and cannot reach the level of the highest-level demons. It can only be said that they have reached the dividing line between upper-level demons and the highest level.
And in this arena, Sirzechs and Grayfia were fighting fiercely.
As the first family that once served the devil Lucifer, the Lucifergus family is a true native demon of the underworld. Grayfia, the eldest daughter, has extremely noble blood.
Her magic power is similar to that of Lucifer, with an extremely strong dark style. The deep and terrifying magic power shrouds her slender body, coupled with her stern and calm personality and cold appearance, she seems like a queen of the underworld.
However, even so, Grayfia can still be said to be born at the wrong time, because there are too many geniuses and eccentrics among the new generation of demons in this era.
Just like her current rival Sirzechs, as the eldest son of the Gremory family, he should have been a second-generation devil, but he was born in this era.
With his profound foundation and natural talents, he is still at the top even in this era of outstanding people.
Of course, the so-called second-generation devil is calculated based on Gremory's side, but if calculated by Saigo's side, Sirzechs should actually be considered a first-generation devil.
It's just that no demon knows about this.
In the fighting arena, the dark magic power from the Lukifergus family, which was once bestowed by Lucifer, enveloped the entire space. The deep aura shocked the other new generation demons who were watching the fight.
With the power Grayfia displayed, even some of the veteran demons who survived the war hundreds of years ago might not be her match.
Even so, Grayfia still had a hard time gaining the upper hand in this battle. Sirzechs's deep red destructive magic power was capable of corroding and destroying almost everything.
Even the dark magic power from Lucifer seemed so fragile under the destructive scarlet flames.
"Sister, come on! We must defeat Sirzechs Gremory!"
Grayfia's brother Euclid was sitting in the spectator seats, cheering loudly for his sister.
Next to Euclid, the new generation of demons from the old Demon King faction were also cheering and rooting for Grayfia.
On the contrary, Sirzechs looked a little pitiful, with only Seraphlu from the Sidi family cheering him on.
"Sirzex, kill that woman quickly. Yes, just like that. Hit her hard in the face. Make sure she becomes a pig and her face is disfigured!"
"Well, well done, this is the Sirzechs I know. She deserves it for letting this woman compete with me for the title of 'First Female Devil'!"
“Sirzex, you did a great job. I’m almost going to become your fan!”
The devil girl with twin ponytails was lively and cheerful. She jumped up and down on the spot and shouted excitedly.
Sirzechs used the destructive fire he inherited from the Gremory family to annihilate Grayfia's dark magic, and then used his rich combat experience to get close to Grayfia.
Then, Sirzechs showed no mercy and punched Grayfia on the delicate face.
The eldest daughter from Lukifergus had no time to react and was blasted away by Sirzechs.
It was not until her delicate body hit the walls around her, causing cracks in the walls that had been blessed by the spell, that her soft body slowly slid down and fell to the ground.
Grayfia felt a sharp pain on her cheek and groaned.
At this time, half of Grayfia's face was completely swollen, and there were streaks of blood at the corners of her mouth. She spat the blood-stained saliva on the ground, and slowly stood up with her shaky body.
Grayfia didn't know why Sirzechs suddenly exploded. Although she was at a disadvantage before, she was still able to block Sirzechs' attack.
But no one expected that suddenly, Sirzechs became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and the magic power bursting out of his body reached a new level, faintly touching the threshold of the highest-level demon.
It was this sudden outburst that caught Grayfia off guard, allowing her to be successfully attacked by him and punched in the face.
Grayfia suppressed the pain on her face and raised her head to look at Sirzechs, but Sirzechs did not look at her at this time. Instead, he looked at the viewing platform.
Grayfia followed his gaze, and then she saw a person appear on the viewing platform at some point.
Although Grayfia had never chatted with that person, she didn't really know him.
But she was also familiar with him. He was one of the pillars of the new generation of demons, Ajeka Astaroth, who was as famous as Grayfia and Sirzechs.
Ajeka had short light hair that looked like gold and green. He was wearing a fashionable slim-fitting dress. He was tall and had a beautiful appearance.
Although he is a man, he is as beautiful as a woman, and even most women cannot compare to his beauty.
At this time, Ajeka was applauding Sirzechs, with a rather charming smile on his face, as if he was admiring the punch that Sirzechs had hit Grayfia in the face earlier.
It was Ajeka's encouragement and praise that boosted Sirzechs' spirits. He seemed to have endless motivation and believed that he would win the battle.
He looked at Grayfia, who was already injured and covering her face, and persuaded her: "...Ms. Grayfia, stop, you are no match for me."
"If we continue to fight like this, you will only get more seriously injured. If we lose our minds and engage in a life-and-death fight, your life may even be in danger."
"Ms. Grayfia, you must understand that in a duel between demons that they agree to, even if one accidentally kills the other, outsiders cannot say anything and must agree to the result."
"Ms. Grayfia, you have great talents and are one of the hopes of the new generation of demons. If you die here, it will be a huge loss to the entire demon race."
Sirzechs spoke politely. Although there seemed to be arrogance in his words, his sincere attitude made people not hate him. Instead, they would try to think about what he said.
However, in the eyes of Euclid who was watching the game, Sirzechs' words were a mockery of his sister.
This made him look angry, and he clenched his fists. He wanted to rush up and punch the red-haired man hard and send him flying.
However, Euclid soon became dejected. Even his sister was no match for this man. Even if he went up, he would probably just be an object of ridicule.
"Mr. Sirzechs, I appreciate your kindness, but this involves the honor of the Lukifugus family."
"As the eldest son of the Gremory family and the heir, you should be able to understand me."
Grayfia's body was staggering. She forced herself to endure the pain and looked at Sirzechs with a firm expression.
Upon hearing this, Sirzechs' face straightened and he nodded slightly, saying, "...I understand. If it is for the honor of the family, then Miss Grayfia, I can understand your persistence."
"Originally, I wanted to ask you to give up and become your father's maid."
