Koneko cover most likely. But knowing Miyama-Zero..................

@Astaroth About Vali and some high-class purebloods discriminating on half-bloods? If Vali was a descendant of one of the 72 Pillars and was a half-blood then he would just be a normal target of discrimination by them. And those houses that have half-blood children are extinct now. But Vali is a descendant of Lucifer. And the position of Lucifer still stands in the Underworld.

For example, such there's a kingdom where a royal family has ruled for thousands of years. Then suddenly a guy starts a coup d'etat and kills the king and the rest of the royal family. Anyone who has his blood. The guy makes himself the new king. But just because he killed the king and the royal family doesn't mean their name or those with their blood still don't hold influence. Now let's say the new king finds out the old king had a bastard son. People tend to look down on bastards and they're the object of discrimination in the kingdom. But this bastard is one with royal blood who could threaten the new king's rule. He could just gather allies around him because of his royal blood and people viewing him as the rightful king despite being a bastard. The new king is worried about people questioning his rule since there is a bastard who is the old king's son. That's why when royal families are overthrown, the ones that take over will tend to kill anyone with royal blood, bastard or not. Now if it was found out that Vali was a Lucifer as a child, then he would most likely be killed by the higher-ups and they would make sure the Satans knew nothing of it doing it behind closed doors. Or who knows, some noble devils might not like Sirzechs and then they would find Vali and raise him up and he would have more claim to the Lucifer title than Sirzechs himself because of him having the blood of Lucifer. Think about this, after Shalba got demolished by Issei's JD and was believed dead, the Old Satan Faction asked Vali to become their leader. Why? He's supposed to be a half-blood. Him being a half-blood is insignificant in the face of him being a Lucifer. And he also is the White Dragon Emperor and most likely has Super Devil-level demonic powers.
