[3rd POV] [2 weeks later]
Two entire weeks had passed since the battle with Rainel Phenex, and the reveal of the first truly unknown sacred gear ever crafted, as well as the first sacred gear to ever be wielded by a pureblooded devil. The battle and game that had revealed the most powerful peerage in the world, and had caused...mayhem.
The following days had been spent taking over the Phenex clan and all of it's operations, with Ruval Phenex being the man she chose to aid her. As he had been surprisingly open to her taking over, mainly because of finding out that his father was...awful, likely truly awful.
Ravel was not pleased entirely, but she also understood.
The fact that she now controlled not only the Phoenix tear trade, but also her own potions company, which was now a proper rival to the Phenex and theirs. And after she had revealed the fact that she was the owner of the "Mochan" business, her wealth had catapulted immensely.
It was the marriage offer that had truly caused shock though.

[Flashback to the question]
"You-you want me to marry you?" Morgan asked with a look of rare shock on her face, her peerage all looking at Rias with equal amounts of surprise, with some of the girls narrowing their eyes, realizing the "danger" of this.
"I-yes! You saved me from Riser and rest of the Phenex's. You also took my first kiss! There is no one else in the Underworld that I would choose over you!" Rias exclaimed, blushing bright red upon understanding that she had just said all of this in front of what was basically the entire Underworld.
Listening to these words, Morgan stared into the girls eyes, finding that she was completely and utterly genuine. She truly wanted this more than anything, and she truly wished to marry Morgan.
"...Okay" Morgan replied, shrugging, as the peerage behind her blanked.
"But only once I am ready. And I won't be marrying you first, there is another that is owed that before you. Which considering you are offering, I am sure you understand" Morgan added, as she looked at Rias who nodded, brightly smiling.
"I understand! I'll wait for however long it takes, no matter how long!" Rias said, as she hugged Morgan close, while the peerage members that were into Morgan all had one thought on their minds.
'...She's dangerous'

[Flashback End]
The girls had entered into some...rivalry with the girl, as she teased them with the fact that she was now officially engaged to Morgan, legally at least. Although if she knew that Yasaka was the one she was to marry first, Morgan was pretty sure the girl wouldn't be bragging so much, as adorable as she found it to be.
During these two weeks, Morgan had begun to research her new body, or more so the dragon seed deep within her. And what she found was...incredible to say the least.
The Dragon seed was...different. Stronger, more potent than it should be. It was being saturated with her demonic energy, growing in power. It was warping it into not a dragon seed, but...a Demonic Dragon Seed.
She would be the first of her kind.
Morgan wasn't sure how she should feel about that. Especially once she had realized that she now possessed the same containers as Fairy Tail mages did. With her having her first container open and able to be used, the second and potentially even third ones being locked away. With her now being able to use Ethernano and magic power.
A huge boost in power that was. And it would only continue to grow, with her dragon seed progressing and being strengthened.
She wondered what would happen if she managed to get Holy Energy or Light energy. Or even the draconic energy that dragons use. Would she become some sort of unholy combination of species? Or would she become something entirely different? Something...more?
She was excited to figure that fact out.
During the weeks, she had also realized that in order to become a proper Super Class devil, there was something she was inherently missing.
A proper technique.
Sirzechs had his true form, Ajuka had his formula, and Rizevim had his sacred gear canceler. Each of them had something powerful that made them super class devils, techniques and abilities that made them better.
Morgan wanted one for herself. The only quest was...what technique?
What could she make in order to do so? She had a few ideas, but it would be...hard to accomplish, and immensely draining in time and energy. Something she'd have to focus on for the next few months, with the events of Kokabiel coming up.
With her peerage officially revealed to the world, and her power as a Satan class being - at least from what she has shown, as she never went all out, not truly - she had been summoned to the devil council, as she had expected.
The meeting had went...
Poorly

[Flashback]
Within the city of Lilith, the current capital of the Underworld, Morgan was sat in front of groups of men, all of them wearing innate clothing and sitting higher than her, in seats neatly aligned with one another, almost like the Wizengamot from Harry Potter.
The more important and powerful the family, the higher they were. With the Satans and Zekram Bael being at the very top of the totem poll.
Looking over them all, Morgan found herself...unimpressed. They were obviously trying to intimidate her, at least, the Great King and his faction was. The New Satans and their faction seemed to not be pleased with this deal. And who knew what the Old Satan faction was thinking, but she doubted they were pleased either.
"Do you know why you have been called here today?" Zekram Bael's voice echoed, as Morgan sighed.
"Yes. You're all here to ask me to share my secrets, and to trade away my peerage for the betterment of the devil society as a whole, right? Then you're going to bring up some convoluted law from hundreds of years ago that no one has used in centuries, and try to use that to force me to trade them away. Am I right?" Morgan asked, looking up at the man, she could tell that he was strong, but she couldn't tell how strong.
'...Definitely stronger than he shows. Probably Satan class at least' Morgan thought as she looked at the most powerful man in the Underworld, who has been alive for thousands of years, one of the only remaining devils of his era, alongside Runeas Gremory, the ancestor of the Gremory family who was currently asleep.
"You will show respect while in this room, girl!" One of Zekram's loyal dogs yelled. Glancing at him, Morgan deadpanned.
"I am showing him respect the best I can at the moment. Any self respecting Lord would call this out for what it is, should they have been in my situation. This entire meeting is a farce and won't go anywhere. If anything, you are just wasting my valuable time, and frankly, that's annoying" Morgan replied, glancing at the peak High Class man.
This entire situation was simply annoying. And with her alliance with the Belial, Belphagore, Agares, Sitri's, as well as two of the four Satan's, there was simply no way anything would pass with her. Not to mention her own power as the Lord of the Phenex and Zagan clans.
The dog went silent at this, as none could really refute that they'd react similarly in a situation like this. Honestly, Morgan was being much kinder than a majority of them would be.
"This is for the betterment of the Underworld, Miss-" "It is Lord, Lord Bael. I do hope you understand that. I am the Lord of the Phenex clan and all of it's operations. Just as I am the Lord of the Zagan family, and it's potion business, Mochan Corp" Morgan cut him off, as she dropped the bomb casually.
This was when she revealed that little fact. With Serafall grinning up in her seat, knowing that a majority of the devils in the room relied on those potions and all the other products she sells. The potions were detrimental for the curing of the sleeping disease.
"You lie, you cannot be the owner of such a business!" One of the Lords yelled, as Serafall spoke up.
"She's not lying. I personally helped her in setting up the business, but was under contract that stopped me from telling anyone until she herself permitted it, or told others" Serafall spoke up, as they all stopped and stared at her wide eyed, causing Morgan to smile.
"So...are we going to continue this farce? Or can I go home to my lovely peerage, and continue my work? Afterall, the things I'm working on will be more useful to the Underworld than taking my peerage from me would be" Morgan said, a victorious grin on her face, knowing that they wouldn't be able to do anything now.
"No...no that will be all...Lord Zagan"

[Flashback End]
And so ended her first interaction with the devil council, and it wasn't the last in the next couple of weeks. As she was now officially recognized as the Lord of Phenex and Zagan, giving her two seats on the council, by law and by right. Thanks to this, her alliance with the other clans, had officially given form to what was basically a new faction, the neutral faction.
The meetings after the first had been far less annoying, and were basically simple stuff like passing new laws, making decisions about resource allocations, and similar things. All very boring, but very important. And she was now a part of that.
She had read over 100 books on politics and manipulation over 2 days in order to prepare for that particular aspect of her new life.
Her peerage had begun to take contracts around the world at a heightened pace, although Diehauser, Roygun, Sairaorg, and Seekvaira had all gone back to their own peerages, albeit still working with her constantly as they were still members of her own.
That had given her even more power in terms of political power. Something that people were realizing very quickly.
She hadn't taken advantage of this fact just yet, but she planned on doing it sooner or later. Mainly when she opened up the auction house she was planning, which would sell her much more powerful and important products, the chief amongst them, and perhaps the most important produce she could ever create, the...
Fertility Potion.
A potion of her own creation that would allow the drinker to impregnate the woman 100% of the time, that sort of thing was absolutely revolutionary and could change the political landscape of the Underworld...forever. It would make her the single most important figure in the entire Underworld, as the historically incredibly slim chance of impregnating a devil would now be bypassed.
She would put it in the auction house at VERY limited numbers, as if she just released it Willy nilly, it was very likely that she would start another war over it. And while she was confident in winning that war, she would rather not turn Earth into a hellish landscape because of it.
At the moment Morgan was laying in bed, Yasaka curled up against her chest as they hadn't seen each other in a while, so Morgan decided to take a small vacation in Kyoto. What followed was hours of mind boggling sex and a whole lot of explanation.
Yasaka wasn't mad though, especially once she found out that Morgan would marry her before Rias. Although she would need to propose first, something she would do farther down the line. She also wanted to get to know Kunou a bit more, as she hadn't interacted with the little girl much, besides taking her out for fun a few times.
Glancing down at the beautiful woman that clung to her while softly snoring, Morgan smiled and pressed a kiss against her forehead, before leaning back in bed and deciding to get some more sleep.
After all...tomorrow was a big day. For...
It was the day she would meet with the exorcists from the church
