It didn't take long for many gazes to be drawn at me, curiosity, fear, and even confusion being thrown into the mix. What my attention was most focused on were the tables that were occupied next to us.
Only two of the tables present- Lucifuge not included- had a descendant, the two houses being House Nebiros and Agaliarept with a son each. The fact that devils contained a low fertility rate was common knowledge.
It would take lords of the house centuries for a possibility to receive an heir; and even then, one wouldn't know if their child contained any potential. Some theorized that if it weren't for this problem, the Devil race as a whole would've continued to push on during the Great War.
Fact of the matter was that, due to the constant war that only ceased some time ago; the lords of each house didn't have enough time to produce heir with only a few being quite lucky. One example would be the Lucifage family with two children.
I held some basic info regarding the families and what their specialties were; Lucifuge in military as vice commander, Satanachia in information gathering, Nebiros in scientific research, Agliarept in Magical Beast hunting, Fleurety in mining, and Sargatanas in forging.
The Descendants were no different, each of them indirectly ran a business -them hiring someone to do it for them- as they were allowed to lay back and watch their vaults overflow with wealth.
Beelzebub controlled all food resources, be it their production or harvesting -as well as being the leader of the military-. Asmodeus monopolized brothels and slave trading, one could imagine how lucrative his business was. And Leviathan has control over the entire affairs regarding finance.
Each of these prophecies -be it for the houses or Descendents- allowed them to rule over the underworld, any other business that dabbled in something similar would have to pay a tax every month.
Even I would have to admit that their control was amazing, a true government with control over their people. Of course, what mattered most was that they had an heir; which only two houses besides Satanachia and Lucifuge.
I was at least given some basic form of understanding so I knew that the two other heirs were; Haruto Nebiros and Akio Agaliarept.
Gazing over them while using Observe, I resisted the urge to sigh; despite being a part of one of the strongest families, it was clear they lived a lofty life. Their stats didn't even surpass mine during the beginning of my reincarnation.
Grasping onto my shoulder, Doku leaned "Try not to cause a ruckus, and do not leave your seat until the Descendants and Lucifuge family arrives.'' Giving a firm nod, he released me.
I guess I would have to wait for the Lucifuge family to make their speech until I can wander around. All I did during the time was wait patiently in my seat, eyes occasionally twitching as the System vented to me.
It seemed like she wanted some pay back for my earlier words.
It didn't take long for the atmosphere in the room to be enveloped in some pressure, immediately everyone stood; be it the lowest of the houses to the Lucifer Six, everyone stood and kneeled.
Following their actions, I watched as I sensed three figures began approaching the thrones; it didn't take long for me to connect the dots. What accompanied behind them was a silver glow and three other figures.
'They have finally arrived.'
.....
Tsuki:-
There wasn't any devil or race that didn't know of the Descendants of the Original Satans; each of them hailed from the first Satans after all, beings that stood on equal ground with God himself.
It was for this reason that they stood at the very forefront of the room, no one dared argue of their authority as the three figures reached the thrones. Their arrogance practically filled the room, the smugness that hung off their lips told me enough.
As they sat on the throne, their eyes gazed at those below them; it was fitting, and with a pleased nod, the leader -Bidleid Bashalun Beelzebub- spoke.
"You may rise."
The domineering tone resounded throughout the room, everyone soon followed the command; their gazes still lowered as a sign of respect and submission.
Standing up from the kneeling position, my eyes briefly gazed in their direction; it was for the briefest of moments, but Beelzebub met my gaze, immediately pressure seemed to have descended upon me.
My body felt weak, powerless in front of the man as I tried my best to keep my eyes locked on the man; whether it was stubbornness or the refusal of defeat, I refused to redirect my own eyes.
My knees nearly buckled under Beelzebub's gaze, just how much more powerful was he? Fortunately, it came as soon as it appeared, the amused smile of the black slicked hair man being the only evidence of what happened.
Scrunching my face, pain throbbed as I withstood what I assumed to be a condensation of Demonic Energy; while painful, I had to admit I now yearned to use such power.
'Just when… when will I be strong enough to match them?'
It was the single thought that remained in my mind, even as the eldest of the Lucifuge family walked towards the podium and cleared her throat; instantly all attention was on her.
From her curvaceous body to the silky silver dress that wrapped around her curves; she was the dream of all young devils, their hearts thumping with desire and lust, but it could only be restrained.
Even I had found it difficult to keep my eyes off of her; the Insatiable perk has clearly begun to show its effects. His eyebrows knitted in concentration, his mind pushing down those thoughts; now wasn't particularly the time.
"As the Eldest of the Lucifuge family and host of this event allowed by our great leaders, it is my pleasure to be a part of this event. We hope we enjoy what comes after this ball, but in the meantime enjoy the feast we have prepared to your heart's content." Despite the prestige and fear garnered by the Lucifage family, they expressed their gratitude to the lower ranking families.
