3rd POV
It has been six months since Bellatrix Black met with Vali Lucifer and started spending more and more of her time with the devil.
When he started teaching her Magic and its true potential, it was so fascinating and yet at the same time, even the strongest wizards on the face of Earth in all of their might paled in comprised even to low-tiered Spells of Tier Magic.
Her grandfather chose her to be the first person to be reincarnated as evil when he finished the lengthy explanation of what was going to happen to the House Black.
Basically that the most suitable people out of their family would be reincarnated as devils and move to the Chthonian Empire with his Highness Vali Lucifer.
Bellatrix didn't know that their family was essentially a bunch of devil worshippers, but now it made sense... all of that mysteriousness and the rituals that they were carrying out in secret, always telling her that she would be told when she was old enough.
Naturally, aside from her, her sisters would be too taken with them because they were talented and beautiful; if they became powerful enough, they would be essentially attracting other nobles for potential marriages.
She was aware that the chances of either of them marrying out of love were basically zero because it was part of the Noblesse Oblige; there was nothing she could do about it.
She knew that Narcissa wouldn't really care about it because she long ago accepted what was expected from her and this would be indeed a great improvement.
Marrying a noble of the Chthonian Empire meant marrying the Empire's best and literarily best because the requirements of being nobility in the nation were extremely strict and harsh.
Only her elder sister Andromeda would be problematic as she was playing around with that muggle-born pet of hers, to which grandfather stated that she would be brought even against her will.
She could see where it was going on...
Her grandfather wanted to establish another Noble House in the Chthonian Empire and whatever he conversed with Vali was enough for Baatorian to give a large amount of support.
Still, they were of prime age to get married.
Aside from them, the other people he chose were his sister Cassiopeia Black who was Acolyte of Gellert Grindelwald back in the time and her cousin Regulus because it was clear that her degenerated cousin Sirius would never accept because it was too "dark".
Right now, Bellatrix Black was waiting in the lobby of the Malfoy Manor for another lesson in close combat, mainly focusing on dagger mastery because she had a talent for dual wielding.
Naturally, Vali was more than pleased to teach her; at least she was a beautiful young woman compared to the rest of the people whom he trained.
She knew that the devil was showing some interests in her that were out of the norm and she was also aware that her grandfather was in sixth heaven every time she went to meet with him...
How could he not, if she married someone as high-ranking as Vali Lucifer, then their family would have guaranteed a future in the Chthonian Empire.
"Mistress Bellatrix, Master V has been notified of your arrival."
She strode through the halls of the Malfoy Manor as she was notified by one of the House Elves of the Malfoys, walking to the drawing room, where Vali was probably waiting for her as that was their usual meeting spot.
"You are a rather early Bella?"
Vali asked as she entered the drawing room and sat on one of the empty sofas next to him. Today she was wearing one of her more revealing dresses, something that she asked her mother to pick her up, as she flaunted her assets to the devil, only for him to chuckle at her efforts.
They were playing that game like mouse and cat.
"Yes, at home it is a mess once again... father being angry with Andi, grandfather pressuring father to solve the situation and on top of that, great-aunt Cassiopeia who has been de-aged after reincarnation, is also being a pain in the ass to deal with."
As Vali told Arcturus Black that he had only ten Independent Class Cards with him, he started already quickly working on the thing, and right now, after deciding on whom to reincarnate, he found out that one of his granddaughters was having an affair with a muggle-born.
So, that quickly escalated into a huge family drama because, for the first one, among the devil society, it was greatly frowned upon, especially among the nobility, to mingle with lesser species.
So theoretically speaking, if in the future somebody found out that one of the members of Blacks, which would be then already nobility of the Chthonian Empire, was sleeping with a human, especially a weak one, they would become ridiculed and it would bring them a shame...
Not much different like it was right now, for the fact that the man was muggle-born.
Fortunately, the only thing which was good about this mess was the fact that Andromeda was still a virgin and didn't sleep with him... at least yet, because that would be catastrophic.
"Grandfather has come and everyone was screaming at each other... if it was up to me, I would just kill her pet and be done with it."
After spending much time around Vali, Bellatrix adopted some of his more unsavory quirks, primarily the one which was about solving everything with either killing or a show of power, as that was many times easier than talking.
And efficient too.
"And your younger sister Narcissa?"
He asked about the youngest one in the group of three sisters.
"She doesn't care too much... on the contrary, she is delighted because it means that she could pursue her dreams of being an Alchemist."
Bella answered leisurely; because of the three of them, Narcissa was probably the one who was eager as Bellatrix was because while Narcissa knew what was expected from her and in this aspect, nothing would change.
Yet, as a nice bonus, she could now focus on becoming Alchemist and Potioneer as she wished.
Something which wouldn't be really possible if she married here some pure-blooded noble stuck-up prick who would want only a trophy wife to parade around.
