It has been 2 days since the day I received my Evil Pieces, made some idiots taste dirt, and got Grayfia as my Queen.
And it has been two days of continuous torture for me.
Do you know about a special toy called 'Barbie', a plastic doll that you can dress up in any clothes you like, yeah currently I am like a 'Barbie' in the hands of my Granny and my Queen.
After I got Grayfia as my Queen, I was informed that in 2 weeks we will hold a celebration for my coming of age and receiving my Evil Pieces. As this is an important moment in the life of young devils, it will be a humongous party, with guests from all the standing Noble Houses, and even some foreign guests.
Although honestly, I don't want to attend this stupid, unnecessary celebration, and would rather just celebrate with my family, I have to as this is a necessary part of being a Noble and Heir to the family that rules the Black Market.
Also, Granny said that once the celebrations are over, I will be allowed to travel the world and search for my peerage members.
So, I am just using this party as a way for me to understand and see with my own eyes the political map of the supernatural world, and also to keep up to date with my revenge plans.
This party might also work as a seasoning for my plans if I play the game with the right person.
However, all of the rewards still don't make up for the torture of being a dress-up doll for Granny and Grayfia.

(The day of the party)
I am currently standing outside the hall where the party is going on currently, I am dressed in a stylish suit of dirty grey color with a black shirt underneath and dark grey pants, by my side are Grayfia and Malacoda, both of them are dressed in elegant clothes. Grayfia is in a beautiful red dress that tightly hugs her body and highlights her curves, while Malacoda is dressed in a simple black tuxedo that makes him look like a fashion model cosplaying as a butler.
Like Grayfia, Malacoda also has a weird fetish for being a butler. He thinks that butlers define elegance and are like a Joker in a deck of cards, dangerous and secretive. Hence, he has become my butler.
I was snapped out of my thoughts as the doors of the hall opened and I was hit with blinding lights and quiet whispers of the guests.
I walked forward into the light with my maid and butler following behind me.
Upon my entry, my attention was grabbed by the incredible amount of people present in the hall, people from numerous mythologies were present inside the hall, including Biblical, Indian, Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Egyptian, Norse, Aztec, Celtic, and many others.
There were also many fabled beings present, including Vampires, Werewolves, Youkai, Fairies, Dwarves, Elves, Dragons, and many others.
It was surprising to see so many beings had come upon our invitation, but I guess they also must have exterior motives, after all this might just be the greatest gathering of supernatural beings in over a century.
I was currently on top of a magnificent staircase, it allowed everyone to see me and my entourage. It also allowed me to see everyone's reaction to my entrance and the subtle amount of power I am letting flow around me, it's not much but if one is powerful and smart enough, they would be able to understand the dangers of this kind of power.
And like clockwork, many people's facial features changed, from small little eye twitch to frowns, I got to see them all and got stored inside my mind to be sorted with time.
"Welcome Everyone, to my coming-of-age ceremony, I, Aatrox Nephalem De Vil, am very pleased to have you part of this joyous celebration. Enjoy this occasion to your fullest and may you remember this night till the end of time. Cheers." I gave a small speech of welcome to everyone as the main attraction of this celebration.
The first move has been made, it's time for the games to start.
