DXD: Golden King Of Lucifer

Sparda: I said... KNEEL!!!!

The whole stadium had grim faces hearing that some devils even started to rage. In the VIP viewing room there were lots of families that got angry hearing that. Suddenly someone moved from there to the battlefield. Sparda didn't know him, he appeared behind the devil kings.

???: He made a bet and lost he must follow up the bet.

Sera: Lord Zekram??

Sparda: Who are you old man??

Zekram: My name is Zekram Bael it's nice to meet you.

Sparda: I have heard about you, you are the original leader of the great king clan. So why are you supporting me??

Zekram: It won't just be me, a lot of devils will be supporting you on this. You made a bet and won fair and square, yes he is a devil king and looked up to but he himself agreed to the bets. Even if he is one of ours we won't protect him on this, nobody asked him to make bets.

Sparda: That is incredibly nice to know, but why do I sense some underlying meaning to this??

Zekram: There is no underlying meaning I just want to convey that we maybe devils but we hold up our bargains we make.

Falbium: He is right, I need to do this or I would be insulting our entire race.

After saying that he didn't wait for anyone and dropped to his knees and raised his head to meet the eyes of Sparda.

Falbium: I am sorry.

There were mixed reactions in the devils seeing this, many were thinking that he went too far and many were thinking that he needed to hold up his end of the bargain.

Sparda: Well apology accepted, now if we are done here I want to go home.

Zekram: Why don't you stay just for today, I am thinking of arranging a small party on your behalf.

A lot of high-class devils understood what he was trying to do. They understood that Sparda is a really strong devil if he could defeat a devil king that easily. Zekram was trying to make a friendly bond with him.

Sparda: Not interested I would like to pass.

Zekram: If you think that devils hate you it's not, this is an entirely separate matter. He wanted to subjugate you under his rule, but why should you?? You have your own pride that you must protect. I personally respect you and a lot of other devils will do that I can assure you.

Sparda: I like you old man, even though you are scheming you are forward with it.

Zekram: What can I say?? And you would see underlying schemes from a mile away.

Sparda: Well then why are we waiting, lead the way.

After that Zekram and Sparda started to walk away from the devil kings towards the exit. The reached a room with a teleportation circle and stepped inside it. They reached the previous room from which he had teleported before. They exited the building and a black limousine was waiting for them. An attendant opened the door and they both entered and the door was closed by the same attendant. The car started moving, there were two maids inside the car. They were preparing glasses and drinks.

Zekram: Care to have a drink with this old man??

Sparda: Well I would like to have a beer.

The maids who heard him started fidgeting.

Maid: Well we don't any beer Sparda-sama.

Sparda: Well then give me some strong whiskey.

After that, the maids prepared the drinks and handed them their glasses. The whiskey was really strong, it was the best whiskey he ever had. After turning 18 he would drink sometimes but it was always mild.

Sparda: I wanted to ask you something.

Zekram: Ask away.

Sparda: Why did you kill Cleria Belial??

Zekram: Well, I am not going to ask how you know that you have your sources. I also think that you know the true reason for the assassination. The thing is that was needed, with the previous devil kings dead maintaining the current management is really hard. If a scandal like that got out it would be catastrophic for our current situation.

Sparda: Well you did what you needed to do. So what are you trying to do about that??

Zekram: Currently the devil kings are finding the council members involved in that matter. As soon as we found everyone involved will get appropriate punishments.

After that, they didn't talk about any serious matter and after an hour they reached Bael territory. It was a huge territory Sparda kept looking out of the window checking out the views. Driving after another 20 minutes they reached the Beal Castle. They got out of the car and Sparda was led to his room by a maid. After reaching his room he called Tia and Amy and informed that what has happened and also that he was not coming home today. They were worried but Sparda assured them that nothing had happened.

After that he also called Sona and Akeno, he was worried that they would be angry with him or their family would be but surprisingly neither of their family was angry they were proud. That their would-be son in law could easily defeat a devil king. After that, he called Sera and found out that a lot of devils were happy with the fight and results. Even the devil kings didn't hate him. According to her and a lot of other devils including the devil kings he didn't do anything wrong. They always respected the strong.
