When Hadrian and the rest of the Bael family got in the limousines, they were taken to the Beelzebub territory in order to go to the ceremonial hall where the high class promotion ceremony of Hadrian Bael will be taking place.

After arriving at the location, they went inside the ceremonial hall in order to get themselves prepared for the upcoming ceremony. The person in charge of the event then led Hadrian to where he could get changed into his formal clothing for ritual purposes.

After Hadrian got dressed in formal clothing, he waits outside the entrance of the ceremonial hall.

While waiting for a few minutes, he suddenly hears a drum roll, followed with the double doors opening, giving Hadrian a look inside the ceremonial hall.

The devils in attendance are all dressed in formal clothing and are lined up at the beautiful-looking ceremonial hall, looking at him with proud looks and giving him an applause.

As it is tradition for all pure-blooded devils, similar to that of the promotion of reincarnated devils, the current Lord Bael will be acting as the current King for him.

"If you are ready, then follow me." says Lord Bael, giving his a smile.

"Yes." replies Hadrian and follows his grandfather towards the altar while looking around at the devils in attendance.

There are much more devils in attendance than in a normal high-class promotion ceremony which is mostly due to him being related to Zekram Bael, as such many devils from the Great King Faction are also present today in order to make their own judgement about him. There are also his two friends from his school: Ravel Phenex and Iryuka Glasya-Labolas, along with their parents Lord and Lady Phenex and Lord and Lady Glasya-Labolas.

When Hadrian arrives at the altar, he sees Ajuka Beelzebub dressed in a cool-looking Maou outfit.

"I have been waiting for this." says Beelzebub "From here on you will become a High-class Devil."

And so the ritual begins.

Hadrian stands at the altar while waiting for the receiving of the certificate.

Ajuka Beelzebub then starts reading what is written on the certificate.

"...For those reason, I hereby proclaim you, grandson of the current Lord Bael, Hadrian Bael, as a High-class Devil."

Hadrian gets on his knee and receives the certificate gratefully. While saying that it will be his honour, being given another applause from the devils.

Hadrian then hands the certificate over to a maid from the house of Bael and gets ready for the next part.

Hadrian and Lord Bael stand at the altar and face each other.

Hadrian once again gets on his knee. Lord Bael then receives the crown from the hands of Ajuka Beelzebub and puts the crown on Hadrian's head, followed once again by an applause, signifying the ritual for the crowning to also be over.

For the last part the Ajuka Beelzebub appears on the altar and raises his hand. Then a floating stone monument which is shining in black colour comes falling from above their head.

'So this is the monument which is essential for registering a High-class Devil that I heard about. I heard from father that by touching this, the requirement as a High-class Devil and a [King] is completed.' thought Hadrian.

"Now, the new [King], Hadrian Bael. Stand in front of the monument..." Beelzebub urges him.

Hadrian takes a step forward the monument while enveloping his right hand with demonic energy and and then touches the monument, as he was told.

He hears his own heartbeat. The monument then shines red and shows his hand print for an instant. And then it returns to the normal monument.

"I'm guessing the registration is done with this then?" Asks Hadrian, followed by a nod from Beelzebub.

He then receives a small box from Beelzebub.

When he opens it, he finds 15 Evil Pieces inside. By the look of the Evil Pieces, two of them appear to be mutation pieces, one of them being a Bishop and the other a Pawn.

As such, the ritual is now finally done, with the most crucial part of the ceremony over. What came after this were words of congratulation from all the guests.

After all the ceremony was over Lord Bael and Hadrian left the stage, while the devils started clapping as they left!

Hadrian then returns to his changing room in order to get dressed and return home with his parents.

Authors notes:

As I have not received any adoption requests yet, I have decided to update the story myself. The pairing will be a harem consisting of his future female Peerage members and Ravel Phenex as his main wife. In this story Hadrian's father Sairaorg is older than Rias, with him currently being around 34 years old despite looking in his late teens. Both Ravel and Iryuka are Hadrian's classmates in the underworld and are the same age as him. I will also completely exclude the original 3 Rias Gremory Peerage members at the start of the series as possible harem candidates, those being Rias, Akeno and Koneko. The harem will include members from both High School DxD and Harry Potter. Hadrian's peerage will be similar to that of Sairaorg's, meaning it will not only have his lovers but also some of his friends. The Poll is now closed, there were a total of 8 voters. As the Greengrass sisters received the most votes (both of them 5), both Daphne and Astoria will be included as members of Hadrian's Peerage, as Blaise received one more vote than Draco, he will also become a member of his peerage.

Next chapter will start to progress the main plot.
