Chapter 1: The Newborn

(Private Wing of Searfall Memorial Hospital)

"AAAAHHHH!" The cries of pain were femine and loud, echoing throughout the room

Grayfia Lucifuge, The Strongest Queen and the Wife of Sirzechs Lucifer, former Gremory, and Head Maid of the Gremory Clan, was currently in labor with her first child. Grayfia was a beautiful woman with long silver hair that went down to the fold of her back, lacking its usual style which consisted of two braids going down her front held by dark blue bows on the ends, with the rest flowing down her back. Her silver eyes were clenched closed due to the pain she felt currently, while her hand was held tightly by her husband.

Sirzechs Gremory, was right beside his wife positively freaking out. He had been born with very large amounts of demonic power, the most ever recorded for a newborn actually, right alongside his greatest friend Ajuka Astaroth. And when they turned 30 they had reached Super Devil level in power. He survived through the Devil Civil War and was even one of the factors that gave the "New Satan Faction" the victory. Because of this he was given the Lucifer title. Sirzechs was incredibly excited to be a father; as he's wanted to be one for a very long time. However with how tightly his wife was crushing his hand he didn't think he'd be able to properly hold his son.

After a few more minutes of pushing the wait was finally over. Grayfia gave one last grunt of pain and their child was born. However, before the two could celebrate the baby was taken away by the doctor who had a worried expression on his face, and he was soon followed by the two nurses.

Grayfia looked over to her husband to see his equally worried face. The two shared a hug before the doctor came back with a grim expression followed by the nurses who were holding something wrapped in a light blue blanket. Seeing this the couple felt their hearts sink, 'He can't be dead can he?' they thought distraughtly.

"We're sorry, but he's unresponsive, and it seems he isn't breathing." The two felt their hearts stop. They couldn't breathe. Grayfia couldn't take it and burst into tears throwing her face into her husband's chest. While Sirzechs stood there stock still, this was a pain he didn't think he would ever experience.

After a few minutes of crying Grayfia turned to the doctor, "Can I see him? Please." The sound of her voice snapped Sirzechs out of his daze; he turned to the doctor as well and nodded, silently agreeing with his wife. The doctor nodded and gestured to the nurse holding the blanket. Walking forward the nurse slowly handed the baby to the distraught Queen.

But as soon as the baby was in his mother's hands, his power exploded outwords releasing so much pressure that the doctor and the two nurses fell to their knees instantly. Shocked by this, Grayfia and Sirzechs looked at their child's face to see bright crystal blue and crimson red eyes, with specks of white in his blue one, looking back at her. The child smiled brightly at them before Sirzechs was forced to place a seal on his power, which allowed the doctor and nurses the ability to stand once more.

To say all inside the room were shocked would be an understatement. The doctor and nurses were staring at the baby, shock and awe written clearly on their faces, the child didn't even appear to be breathing before yet here he was clearly alive and with an impossible amount of control for one his age. This child had so much more potential than his father did, which is saying quite a bit.

Sirzechs was so incredibly distraught after hearing that his newborn son was most likely dead, that he couldn't move until his wife asked to see their son. And while the nurse was passing his son to Grayfia he got to see him clearly, his skin tone was the same as his and his wife's. And he had an unmistakable cold feeling, it made him even more distraught thinking that his son was truly dead. But as soon as his son touched his wife he saw his eyes open,

Words wouldn't be able to describe how happy he felt when he saw his son's eyes open, he felt like he was about to burst. And in the corner of his eye saw the nurses and the doctor fall to their knees, he was concerned, but then he felt it. His son's power was putting a small amount of pressure on him too! But when he felt his son reign in all that power he knew his son was going to be beyond super devil level when he grew older. However the power his son had would bring trouble, the most prominent threat being Rizevim Livan Lucifer, the son of Lucifer himself. If Rizevim got word of his son's power he would try to take him, forcing the old satan faction beliefs upon him, or he would try and brainwash him. Either way he had to make sure that no one outside his family knew of him at least until he could take care of himself.

When Grafia was told that her baby was most likely dead, it felt like a piece of herself died as well. Carrying that baby for 9 months, she grew deeply attached to it despite it having yet to be born. So no one could nor would blame her for losing her normally stoic composure. Hearing of her baby's possible demise, she had no choice but to burst into tears.

But she needed to see for herself. She needed to see her son's face, even if he was dead, she needed to see him. When she came into contact with him he felt so cold, and she immediately wanted to burst into tears again, actively believing that her son was only so cold because he was truly dead. But she didn't have the chance to. She saw in the corner of her eye, the nurse that handed her, her child fall to her knees. She grew concerned especially after seeing the other nurse along with the doctor on their knees as well, but what stopped her from acting was the fact she saw her son's eyes open. She looked straight into them, silver eyes lost in her son's heterochromatic glowing crystal blue and red ones. Then she saw him smile at her, and in that moment her heart soared out of her chest.

Her eyes grew misty again but this time out of happiness and love. "What should he be named?" Sirzechs asked her. Thinking about it for a few moments she smiled before hugging her son closer to her, "He will be named Aldrich" and soon after she felt her husband join in the hug. The new family couldn't have been happier.

(Hours Later: Gremory Mansion)

It has been 5 hours since Aldrich was born, and no one besides the doctor, the two nurses, who have all swore never to say anything regarding the child, Sirzechs and Grayfia knew that. However that was about to change as Sirzechs had called a family meeting requesting that his parents and his peerage all come to the sitting room to discuss something important. That is where Sirzechs and Grayfia were sitting and waiting for everyone to show up.

"He looks so much like you dear." Sirzechs told his wife, she smiled at his words, her eyes never leaving the face of the sleeping baby in her arms. Before she could respond properly the door opened, Sirzechs turned to look at it, revealing everyone he wanted in attendance.

His father, Zeoticus Gremory or Lord Gremory, looked to be in his early 30s. He had a chiseled handsome face with blue eyes and crimson red hair that stopped just above his shoulders. He had a height of 1.8 meters or 5 feet 9 inches and was one of the most compassionate devils in the underworld.

His Mother, Venelana Gremory or Lady Gremory, appeared to be in her early to mid 20s. She had beautiful violet eyes and luscious brown hair that stopped just above her shoulders much like her husband. She was 1.68 meters tall or 5'5 and had an air of elegance and royalty around her. And holding her hand was Rias Gremory, Sirzechs 2 year old sister. She had crimson hair and baby blue eyes just like her father and her brother. She was also, although unofficially, the heiress to the Gremory Clan.

As they walked in, Sirzechs could see his peerage follow in behind them. His Knight Souji Okita, was a man in his late 20s with dark brown hair, and a height of 1.75 meters or 5'7. He was wearing his usual outfit, a traditional Shisengumi uniform, which consists of a haori and hakama over a kimono, with a white cord called a tasuki crossed over the chest and tied in the back. The function of the tasuki is to prevent the sleeves of the kimono from interfering with moving the arms.

His Rook Surtr the Second. He was a very large man appearing to be in his mid 30s and standing at 2 meters or roughly 6'5 with his body covered in large muscles. He had bright orange hair that spiked up, and possessed a wild aura similar to that of a wild animal. He was wearing normal everyday clothes with a large thick coat over top of it.

(Note: I'm pointing these two out for relevance later)

Before anyone had a chance to see, Sirzechs stood in front of his wife blocking her and his son from view of the others. Seeing everyone here, Sirzechs said to them, "Thank you all for coming so quickly."

"Of course, son. Now then since everyone is here, what did you need to discuss?" His father asked him.

"I wanted to formally introduce a new family member." He responded, his voice sounding like a giddy 5-year old. Once his sentence registered in their minds, everyone was confused, before that quickly turned to shock.

Before too long his mother snapped out of it, her eyes gained stars and she questioned him excitedly, "You mean my Grandson was born?!" Sirzechs nodded enthusiastically before he stepped aside to reveal his wife, still staring intently at her son's sleeping face, almost like she was entranced by it. His mother was quick to appear next to her, joining in on her daughter-in-law's newest activity, which was quickly mirrored by everyone else.

Feeling multiple pairs of eyes on him, the baby began to stir. Soon after he opened his heterochromatic bright crystal blue and red eyes to everyone in the room. The child eyes grew concerned but his mother calmed him down by saying, "Don't worry dear. They are our family." The concern in his eyes disappeared and he smilied brightly.

"Now let's get to the main point of this meeting." Sirzechs said suddenly before walking over to his son and placing a gentle hand on his head. Everyone in the room grew confused but that quickly turned to shock when a giant oppressive force started to push down on the group. Everyone in the room started to sweat greatly while steadily being pushed to the ground, the pressure then subsided as Sirzechs placed the seal back on his son.

Sirzechs turned back to the group and said, "That show of power is why this meeting is happening. I want everyone in this room to promise never to speak of Aldrich to anyone outside this room."

"So his name is Aldrich. I can agree to that, however I must ask why?" Lord Gremory asked.

"To be honest father, I'm afraid for my son's life. If someone like Rizeviem got word of him and his power, he would stop at nothing to get him away from us. So I have to ask that we keep him a secret, at least until he turns 10, when he'll get his Evil Pieces. " Sirzechs said in a sad tone before it turned serious again. Hearing his explanation everyone nodded they could understand that with the level of control the baby not even a DAY old had, not to mention his level of power, was nothing short of extraordinary but also dangerous.

Nodding to his son Lord Gremory soon said, "A sound plan, he should be more than capable of taking care of himself at that age." To that everyone agreed, but before anyone could say anything else, Sirzechs' mother spoke up, "Now then, tell me what's my Grandson's full name."

Sirzechs and his father chuckled a little at the enthusiastic woman. However everyone else soon asked the same thing, eager to know the name of the newest family member. "Of course, His full name is Aldrich Gremory Lucifuge." Sirzechs told them.

This answer gained him shocked looks, so Sirzechs explained further, "Me and Grayfia spent the past 4 hours talking about this, he was born 5 hours ago. We believe it would be better if he revived the Lucifuge clan. We decided on this because when he came out, the doctor rushed him away, he came back a few minutes later and told us that Aldrich wasn't breathing. And as he was being passed to Grayfia, he felt cold, so cold that I could feel it while being half a foot away. At first I thought he was only that cold because he was truly dead, however once he touched Grayfia his eyes opened and his power burst outward just like it did earlier. That's when I realized that cold feeling coming from him wasn't his body temperature. It was his Ice! I believe that with how much control, combined with how much power and with how cold his ice is, he'll reach Absolute Zero by the time he turns 10."

This explanation was incredibly saddening at first for everyone listening. They couldn't imagine how painful it would be to believe that your child died so soon after being born. Lady Gremory was taking it the worst she looked to be near tears, but those soon dried once she heard her son recall the event. She, along with everyone else, was incredibly shocked that Sirzechs truly believed his son could reach something not even his own wife nor Serafall Leviathan the two strongest ice magic users could achieve, especially so soon in his life. It sounded impossible, but after feeling his power and seeing the level of control he had over it, they didn't believe it any less than he did.

"That's insane. However I can't help but believe that as well. Do we know if he also wields the Power of Destruction?" His Father asked him.

"We don't know but he very well might. I'm sure you noticed that he has heterochromatic eyes. His blue eye is obviously his Ice, however his other eye is red, quite similar in color to the Power of Destruction." Sirzechs explained, everyone nodded at that.

While the adults were talking, Rias was staring intently at the new family member's face. She had been doing this for a while, ever since her mother brought her to him unintentionally when she went to see him. Rias was old enough to understand basic conversation but she couldn't keep up with what the adults were talking about, so she just continued to stare into the new family member's face.

Rias, wanting to know more about him, looked up to Grayfia and asked, "Sister, who is this? I know he's a family member but who?"

Grayfia smiled at her before responding, "This is mine and your brother's child. Which makes him your nephew."

At this point the adults had finished their discussion and a plan was in place. Aldrich would train with his ice magic with his mother as well as the way to act like a proper noble, which his mother requested to assist in that, and seeing as she was the strictest when it came to being a noble, was perfect for the job. And if they later discovered he had the Power of Destruction he would be trained with it by his father. And Sirzechs' had requested that his rook help train his body physically, and his knight would train him in sword combat. The two pieces had agreed as soon as it was mentioned, both wanting to contribute to the boy's future strength. He would do all of this while he stayed hidden from the public. Until his 10th birthday, where he would receive his pieces and he would be formally introduced as the heir to the Lucifuge Clan, which he would become Head of when he turned 18.

With all of that sorted out the adults started to listen in on what Rias was saying, "Really?! No wonder he's so pretty!" This sent chuckles around the room, while Rias continued to stare at the baby's face, stars filling her eyes.

It was already clear that the new baby's life was going to be an interesting one. And with his power the underworld might need a new Satan position.
