Underworld
Astaroth Branch Family Castle
Third POV
The Underworld, also known as Netherworld, roughly the same size as the Human world, but with a much larger landmass, due to the absence of oceans, just rivers and lakes being present .
The sky originally purple during both the day and night, but the current Four Great Satans adjusted the flow of time to match it in the human world for the sake of the reincarnated Devils.
They also reproduced an artificial moon using Demonic Power and made the night's darkness the same as the human world.
'They went all out huh?' Frey mused to himself, as he awaited Night to come so he could gaze upon this moon.
"Surprising huh?" Latia said as she looked at him, as though she had expected to.
"It certainly doesn't fit the whole view of hell I had." Latia chuckled at his words. "The things expected are on the lower floors, like the Malebolge."
Just then the carriage suddenly stopped, waking the sleeping Pott up.
"We seem to have arrived."Latia murmured as tge the carriage door opened. A butler-like man made a slight bow.
As he exited the carriage, after Latia he saw a sight that surprised him.
The maids and butlers stood in line on both sides of us and made a path. A red carpet stretched out towards the huge castle.
Latia looked much the same, but rather than being shocked by extravagance she was more shocked by all this happening.
"We waiting for someone? " Pott asked yawning as he exited the carriage.
"No." Latia clutched onto his hand as she pulled him towards the Gate, which slowly opened.
The same sigh was awaiting them inside the castle, maids and butler gathered around two individuals awaiting them.
A handsome man, who looked to be in his mid twenties with long blond hair and light blue eyes.
Whereas the other was a beautiful woman, who looked to be in her early twenties, with blue hair and green eyes, possessing a voluptuous body.
'The are most likely Latia's Father and Mother, Lord and Lady Astaroth.'
"Latia!" Latia's father exclaimed stepping forward as he hugged his daughter. "Are you alright, sweetheart? Nothing happened to you right."
'He is a doting father, alright.' Frey looked at the father and daughter duo.
"Father you are embarrassing me!" Latia pushed her father away, her face crimson red."Besides, Pott was there with me."
As soon as his name was mentioned, the tanned skin Queen stepped forward.
"My king."
"Oh, Pott." Lord Astaroth looked shocked, as he looked at his in a Queen and then towards the young man.
"It's Ferey, Lord Astaroth." The man in question looked at the young man, bowing his head.
'Did I do something wrong?' Frey thought as the room went silent.
"Ufufu, There's no need for that, young man." Frey felt someone path his shoulder, looking up he could see it was Lady Astaroth.
"I believe we should sit down first, before discussing anything, right honey?"

The rest of the day went by as if it was a flash.
After the introduction to Lord and Lady Astaroth, Ardron Astaroth and Lily Astaroth, they had showered him with Questions.
His name? Where he came from? If I knew I had any living relatives? And my motives..

A Short Flashback
"Everything good and all, but why did you decide to serve my Daughter? For what reason will you continue to serve her." Lord Astaroth questioned Frey, slowly leaking a bit of his Demonic Power. "I am sure she spoke of other alternatives, despite you being reincarnated as a Devil."
Frey pondered about that question, why had he agreed to her.
At the time it had felt like the best decision, but why was that?
Was it because of pride? To not be just be another Devil, but rise using the possibility.
Was it because of ignorance? Not understanding the Devils, and blinded by the possibilities.
Or was it to repay Latia? For having given another chance to live without regrets.
"I-I" Both Lord and Lady sighed at his hesitation before, Lord Astaroth spoke up.
"Listen well, you will not have my acknowledgment till you give me a concrete answer."

The whole day had been a hassle, but atleast the Moon was good.
Frey stared at the moon shining above him, a bit different from the one in human world but fascinating to look at nonetheless.
Moon and Star Gazing, a habit he had picked up in his previous life from his grandfather.
"Could you move a bit?" Frey looked back to see the source of the disturbance, only to find his King.
"I didn't know you were into star gazing?"
"It's an old habit."
Both the Knight and his King, stared at the stars, relishing in the peace.
"So listen, I am extremely sorry." Frey tilted his question at her apology, not understanding the reason behind it.
"I know father must have said something to you after he told me to leave." Frey just smiled as he returned to Star gazing.
While what Lord Astaroth had said were things he wouldn't forget, those very things were perfectly fine within his station.
What kind of father would acknowledge someone their child brought, without knowing their reasoning?
"It's alright." He reassured her, he didn't feel bad about anything Lord Astaroth had said. "Everything he said was perfectly within his station as a father."
"Besides now I know what to do while I am her, earning his acknowledgment would be the first step to becoming your Knight."

An: Do drop stones and reviews.
Spoilers, for Latia Peerage has been decided. So I was researching for that, Latia peerage and House Astaroth, and found something.
Astaroth is described "with a dragon's hands, feet and wings, a secondary pair of angel's wings, wearing a crown, holding a serpent and riding a wolf."
Now then,
1. Dragon - The Mc, Frey
2. Angel, "Angel's wings."
3. Crown, "Wearing a Crown."
4. Serpent, "holding a serpent."
5. Wolf, "riding a Wolf."
6. Four, this part is clear but "secondary pair of wings" so four wings.
Who do you think all of these are? Don't expect a one to one. Equivalent of these words can also be the Characters.
