I mentioned Lelouch because you're portraying Zekram as if he's some merciless chessmaster manipulating everyone in a way considered negative.

"some were thrown out because of the mixed-heritage... That isn't an assumption, that is literally what happened to that fraction of the 72 Pillars." This hasn't been stated. It's stated that individuals of mixed-heritage are discriminated against, but it hasn't ever been stated that clans are kicked out due to mixed blood. That's just your speculation.

"Zekram said that the Bael Clan has the highest purity" This was never stated either, neither are any of the follow ups about the Maou being less respected due to "less purity", or them having any "lesser purity". You should really re-read that conversation because you seem to have really flawed knowledge on it.

"You are right that the Great Kings of Bael carry their heritage from the war, hence their titles, but Zekram stated that was because their purity is so high. If you don't believe me, review the material." I did review it, and it does not say so. Here's the quote for context:

'“The ones who supported the Devils of the Underworld after the death of the previous Maou-samas’ weren’t the Maou’s clan but the House of the Great King. Maou is nothing more than a “symbol”.”'

'He even said a Maou is a “symbol”. For this Devil who had been living since ancient time, the current Maous’ are merely children to him.'

'“Obviously there is no value in a mere “symbol”. We needed a Devil with strength and charisma. In terms of that Sirzechs-dono and Ajuka-dono were ideal. They took their positions while understanding that very well. They even know how to have a mutual relation with the Great King’s side. From our point of view they are an ideal role model for a Maou.”'

Not a single mention of blood purity, as you can see. Only mention of the Bael being the pillar of support after the original Maou died.

"Where are you getting your reference material, because it seems incomplete? Everything I've said is stated is referenced in the material and you can even read it on Zekram page on the Wikia." If you think that the novel mentioned anything about the Bael having some sort of superior blood purity then you likely haven't read it in a long time. Just check out Volume 18 Life.2, and you will see there is absolutely no mention of it, as I have been using it to back up my statements right at this moment and as of my previous comment as well. The wikia page is irrelevant if it doesn't fit what the source material said.

"Are you just misinterpreting the material? Because I don't understand where your confusion is coming from." I have been checking the specific part of the novel constantly to write my replies here and the point of view that does not fit is yours. If anyone is misrepresenting the material here it's you, and you should really recheck it before making such an accusation. Once again, Volume 18 Life.2.
