Grayfia Laughs in Exasperation

Upon hearing this, Grayfia lowered her head.

This is true.

Although the first Demon King Lucifer was renowned, after the three-way war, all Four Great Satans perished, and their descendants were far inferior to them in terms of magical energy concentration.

If it weren't for the ancient prestige of the Four Great Satans, the Demon King's army, which is currently evenly matched with the Reformist Faction, would have long since disintegrated.

Seeing that Grayfia's expression wavered, Ren added fuel to the fire.

"I also know you don't want to fight, but because of your father's stubbornness and conservatism, you have no choice but to fight for the Demon King's army. If you continue to stay in the Demon King's army, only death or exile awaits you."

Grayfia remained noncommittal, but that wasn't the main issue. "The Reformist Faction are rebels; I have no reason to trust them."

This is actually a key point that is troubling her.

Although the Reformist Faction claim to be fighting against oppression and seeking change, who knows whether they will be blinded by Reformist Faction and repeat the same mistakes once they come to power?

If she betrays the Demon King's army and chooses to join the Reformist Faction to overthrow the old government, but the Reformist Faction instead intensify their oppression of the people, then she will truly be a sinner for all time.

But you can trust me.

"?"

"Because you sent me, do you believe me?"

"..."

Grayfia thought Ren had lost his mind.

She's always been here, and she's never seen Ren before, so how could she have sent Ren?

However, Ren clearly didn't keep them in suspense any longer.

He continued, "Don't you find the way your brother Euclid looks at you strange every time? Let me give you a sincere warning: don't be fooled by the fact that he's your brother; he's actually a psychopath with a sister complex, and every time he sees you, all he thinks about is possessing you."

"..."

Grayfia's expression darkened; she didn't believe it, but she decided to continue listening anyway.

"In addition, you have a black mole on your left breast near your armpit, and a small crescent-shaped birthmark near your tailbone."

Upon hearing these words, Grayfia's expression turned to disbelief.

These private parts were known only to her, not even to her father. How could outsiders possibly know?

"Also, although you are a demon, you are allergic to alcohol. You get drunk as soon as you drink, and you have terrible drinking manners. When you were young, you once drank so much that your magic went out of control and you almost burned down your family's castle. Since then, you have never touched a drop of alcohol."

After saying that.

Ren did not continue speaking.

At this moment, Grayfia's face was filled with shock.

The fact that a complete stranger knew all her secrets made her internal monologue incredibly exciting.

Both her moles and birthmarks were prominent features of her body, and no one except herself knew about them.

Moreover, Ren easily marked their locations.

While birthmarks and moles could be explained by Ren's X-ray vision, her tendency to get drunk easily is a secret known only to her family.

Moreover, he almost burned down his own castle?

She herself was unaware of this.

"Of course, words are not enough. I'll let you go back and confirm some things for yourself."

After saying that, Ren actually dispelled the surrounding barrier.

"For example, regarding your brother Euclid, is he truly a psychopath?"

"..."

After standing up, Grayfia's eyes flashed with complex emotions, and she also felt a sense of fear towards Ren, who seemed to see right through her.

This feeling made Grayfia quite uncomfortable.

After all, the feeling of being watched is not pleasant.

Ren carefully observed the girl's expression.

Although revealing so many potentially offensive secrets was impolite, it was simply a necessary tactic for him to negotiate with her.

To quickly gain someone's trust, revealing their secrets is the fastest and most effective way.

However, there aren't many plot events involving Grayfia in the original work.

Aside from some birthmarks on his body that he had seen in illustrations, he knew about the events that occurred during the Underworld Civil War.

Furthermore, to convince her, you can only recount things she has experienced or things that will happen soon, things that can be quickly identified.

Certainly.

This method of directly shaking the sieve is also very risky.

After all, it might provoke shame and anger in the person involved. If an ordinary person with no strength were to jump in and attack, they might not even know how they died.

Chapter 431 Grayfia's Laughter

Seeing that Ren was not in control of his behavior, Grayfia also stood up.

However, he remained silent.

They neither continued their attack nor left.

Although Grayfia's first impression of Ren wasn't good, she has to admit that her curiosity has been piqued.

Meanwhile, Ren was also sizing up the girl in front of him.

She stood ramrod straight like a wooden stake; if she were dressed in a maid outfit, she would remind him of a certain perfect head maid from Cha Man-ri.

And thinking about it carefully, they all have silver hair, are all maids, and all have good figures—aren't they just like the head maid from High School DxD?

"Anything else?"

After a long silence, Grayfia spoke again.

"What else do you want to know?"

Ren chuckled softly.

Does this count as establishing an initial trust relationship?

"The rebels' next attack location and battle plan."

Trivial matters were not enough to completely convince Grayfia. Thinking the worst, it was not impossible that this person had bribed some people in the family to obtain information.

"Your intelligence agencies know this better than I do."

Ren shrugged.

He did indeed not know the course of the demon civil war, but that was not a problem.

"Then what will the future of the Underworld like if my guess is true?"

More than anything else, the future of the Underworld concerned Grayfia.

Despite being part of the Demon King's faction, she had already seen long before the war that the stubborn conservatives were out of touch with the times. Both the Heaven and the Fallen Angels were recuperating, while the demons were mired in internal strife. Even if the three-way war ended in a few hundred years, the demon race would inevitably decline.

"The Reformist Faction will win. Sirzechs, Ajuka, Falbium Asmodeus, and your good friend Serafall will become the new Four Great Satans. However, some people will recommend you to run for Demon Lord, but you will refuse and instead become the prime minister under the Four Great Satans Lords."

"..."

Grayfia fell silent again.

"Anything else?"

"Then let's talk about something unrelated to politics. You'll be joining the Reformist Faction, and Sirzechs will be pursuing you. As for the outcome..."

"Impossible."

Grayfia spoke coldly.

She knew the name Sirzechs.

The opponent is the eldest son of the pure-blooded demon Gremory Family, who inherited his mother's Power of Destruction. After joining the Reformist Faction, the Reformist Faction has been invincible in battles with him involved. However, so far, they have not encountered each other.

As for the outcome of the other party pursuing you.

Even if Grayfia were to join the Reformist Faction and fight alongside them in the future, she would never become that man's wife.

After all.

Having already known about this matter in advance, and having met Ren who could "predict the future," how could she possibly be troubled by those romantic feelings?

All she wants now is to end the war as soon as possible, and to end this monstrous, sick society.

Looking at Ren, who had a smile on his face, Grayfia felt a new question arise in her mind.

"If what you're saying is true, then why are you telling me all this?"

"As I said before, I only returned because I accepted your request from the future, and for that, I even used up the only time travel scroll I had."

Ren said, feigning heartache.

In reality, while that time scroll was special, it was far from precious. Not to mention the great uncertainty involved in time travel, Azazel would eventually develop a real time machine in the distant future.

A consumable item and a tool that can be manufactured by human reason—it's obvious which is more valuable.

"Feel sorry."

This time it was Grayfia's turn to apologize to Ren.

"It's okay, it's okay. You can make it up to me properly when I get back. Of course, if you don't mind, you can make it up to me now."

"How will you compensate me?"

"Gold and silver treasures, or let me take a stroll through your family's treasury. Of course... if all else fails, you can offer yourself to me."

Looking at the young Grayfia before him, Ren couldn't help but feel a bit teasing.

In the future, the mature Grayfia is stunningly beautiful, but she has an aloof air about her Ren doesn't like her overly businesslike attitude.

However, young Grayfia did not acquire any of those class-like traits.

Upon hearing Ren's words, Grayfia's shoulders tensed slightly, her slender fingertips involuntarily clenched, and a faint panic rose in her heart. Her sharpness vanished, her posture stiffened slightly, and all her composure disappeared, leaving only the shyness and awkwardness unique to young girls.

This scene will not be seen in the future version of Grayfia.

No wonder people say that young girls are the easiest to make someone's heart flutter.

At this age, psychological factors play a significant role.

However, Ren's request for payment was just a joke, but Grayfia took it seriously after feeling ashamed.

"I still don't completely believe what you're saying right now, but if what you say is proven true in the future, I will completely believe you. At that time, you can even ask for my body as payment."

After overcoming her shyness, Grayfia reverted to her cold demeanor.

"So, before that, please tell me more about the future, not just about me, anything related to the Underworld is fine."

Then, Ren began to tell Grayfia about what he knew about the future of the Underworld.

However, he wouldn't say a word about anything other than the Underworld.

Especially things that involve the plot.

After all, his current actions are tantamount to spoilers.

Imagine if someone knew they would do something in the future; they might be more likely to try to change that future.

Many people are familiar with the theory of the butterfly effect.

Even if the probability of something happening is very small, it can still happen.

Ren also informed Grayfia of the dangers and uncertainties that would result from arbitrarily altering the future.

Grayfia calmly nodded in agreement.

She also knew that arbitrarily altering history could cause serious problems, so she wouldn't do it.

Of course, given Ren's prediction of a prosperous future for the Underworld, she had no reason to do anything unnecessary.

Just then...

Suddenly, Grayfia's stomach emitted a whimpering sound like a puppy.

Upon hearing this rude voice, even the usually stern-faced silver-haired demon princess blushed instantly.
