Underworld
Astaroth Branch Family Castle
Frey POV
House Astaroth, one of the 32 remaining Devil Clans of Ars Goetia, holding the rank of Duke.
A House known for having produced the current Beelzebub, Ajuka Beelzebub formerly known as AjukaAstaroth. One of the Two Super Devils, Devils who surpassed the Old Maou.
House Astaroth is also known for having some of the Best Institutes in all of underworld, two of the major institutes being RDP ( Reincarnated Devil Promotion) Institute and Lilith Academy, where The current Lucifer and Beelzebub are said to have forged their friendship.
And the Heir of this house was one Diodora Astaroth.
Just thinking about they creep made him want to kill him.
"Soo, What didn't you understand?" A sweet voice called him out.
He looked ahead at the figure questioning him, the Lady Lily Astaroth née Agares.
"I mean no disrespect, Do you really need to be the one?" The former Agares tilted her head in confusion. "I mean, Latia could be the one helping me learn."
"Ufufu, already missing my daughter, are you?" He immediately shook his head in denial, causing the Lady to chuckle to herself. "Latia is having a tea party with her cousin."
"And as for your former question, I wanted to be the one to personally make sure the Knight of my daughter and her first peerage member is well educated and adequate."
Seeing him embarrassed, strengthened Lady Lily's resolve on the matter.
"Now then, What was confusing you?" Frey nodded his head, before asking what had been plaguing his mind.
"Why isn't lord Ardron the heir of House Astaroth?" The smile of Lady Lily seemed to widen, as he further clarified his question. "Lord Beelzebub was crowned as the Heir to House Astaroth, Main and branch family."
"Why didn't my husband become the lord of House Astaroth?" Lady Lily mused as he lifted two of her fingers. "For two main reasons."
"One, Ajuka was crowned the heir of both houses in middle of a war. Ajuka's strength and the low fertility rate of devils contributed to that decision." She explained as she called out the Lord Beelzebub by his name.
"Two, my husband simply didn't care. He had the strength, and having the recommendation from the elder, yet he declined that proposal believing it to be a hassle."
That caught Frey by surprise, declining the offer to be the head of the greatest Devil clans because he believed it to be a hassle?
What was he, a Nara?
"Well then that's enough for today. I will take my leave." Lady Lily clapped her hand, looking at the wall clock. "Remember I will question you tomorrow, on what you learned today."
Lady Lily gave off bright smile, a smile quite reminiscent to that of her daughter, as she left the room.
'I guess exams chase after you even if you don't go to school.' He chuckled to himself as he reclined in the chair.
He looked at his table, nor precisely the book on it. Detailing the possible futures for Reincarnated Devil, written by lord Beelzebub himself.
Looking at the book reminded him of the future, and the problem it was to bring.
Kokabiel….Loki…Old Maou Faction…Youth Rating Game..Cao Cao and his lackeys...and more
He had planned to read the Light Novel after completely watching the anime, in which Latia was never once mentioned.
'Then again, if what that Idiot said is true then anime and light novels are different.' Frey recalled his friend spoiling DxD.
'Ah whatever, I could just avoid the main cast to not get into the trouble.' Frey stood up heading towards the shelf to pick another book.
'Speaking of main cast.' Through today lessons on the Basics of Ars Goetia and it heir he was able to confirm 3 things.
One, being Latia is from the same generation as Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri, infact being born one month after the former heiress.
Two, just from that he could tell when in the timeline he should be. It should be five years before the canon, seeing as Rias was eighteen years old and right now Latia is 13, with the two being born in the same year.
Three, not related to Ars Goetia Lady Lily was able to confirm what his Sacred Gear.
He focused on the familiar feeling, before two silvery bracelet manifested on each of his wrists.
Twice Critical, also known as the Hand of the Dragon, is a commonly occurring Sacred Gear. A noted to have high potential because of it possessing Draconic trait.
Usually manifesting as a Gauntlet on the user's arm, it possessed the ability to double the power of the user for a certain time.
And his gear had the same ability but manifested as silver bracelet on both of his wrists.
So his aim was to atleast become as strong as a High-class Devil, which would be enough for him. His Sacred Gear would just double that strength, and and he managed to have a balance Breaker his strength possibly reaching the lower ends of Ultimate Class.
Something that should be possible seeing as his Gear was a Sub-Species.
"Sub-Species are Sacred Gears that have taken on a unique characteristic because of the thoughts and feelings of the wielder." His friend had explained him, after Frey had watched season four not understanding Siegfried's gear. "They are more powerful than the normal form of the same Sacred Gear, and will sometimes gain a new ability as well."
'Despite being an idiot of the highest class, he spoiling of the stor-'
He shook his head, removing those thoughts. He needed to accept this as his new life, not a story.
His death at the hands of that stray and the consequent reincarnation into a Devil should have been more than enough to hammer that point down.
He clutched his heart, as the phantom pain of having been pierced in the heart by a spear was still there.
As he was recalling the phantom pain in his chest, the Doors to the Library burst wide open, revealing three different figures.

An: Do leave Review and Stones, those help a lot.
And the Mc has only seen the anime, all of it, with some light novel spoilers from his friend.
So any guess on Pott's identity
Or Latia's future peerage? Who could the serpent be?
