I'm not especially inclined towards Grayfia. Well not until Sirzechs has been sealed with Odin, Serafall, Falbium, Michael and all Seraphim except Gabriel. This can be seen as forgivable by Sirzechs if he ever leaves the Barrier. But I might have something to tide you over until that point, sadly this will be either the Romania incident or the End of the Evil Dragon War.

Oh and to the guest who said it was a shitty and useless self-insert, your fucking lucky your anonymous because if you weren't I'd get my friend in Cybersecurity for the US Consulate in New Zealand to digitally track your ass down, if only to flood your system with garbage data to corrupt the everlasting shit out of it.

(Time-skip: Three and a Half Years Later)


Three Years Corvinus Bael had studied under Pops, and After Six Months, Lavinia Reni missed him dearly. The Young Devil had left no small impression on Lavinia. The Demise Girl missed him daily, she offered to tutor him privately, but he insisted that he felt taking her away from finishing her studies was unfair to her.

Lavinia was world wise enough to see the love in his eyes for her, but wasn't blind to the fact that he gave that same look in his eyes towards Kuisha Abaddon, his Rook. Lavinia admitted that when Georg Faust became Cor's Contracted Magician she felt no small amount of Jealousy.

But that quickly evaporated when Cor contacted her to explain the reason why. He wanted to recruit her to become part of his Family as he told her. He said that could only occur if she continued to study and train, get experience and so forth and so on.

When asked if this meant he wanted her in his Peerage, he responded that as much joy as it would bring him he had another in mind.

Now Eleven, Lavinia was nearing the end of her Apprenticeship under Pops, but hoped that her friendship with Cor wasn't destined to remain as that.


(Bael Clan Estate, Bael Clan Territory, The Underworld, Earth, DxD / Draconic Deus Universe)


The Bael Clan Estate was not so much crowded as it was more populated after Lord Zekrom's Death. The Young Great King was a decidedly better one than his father. He'd developed his Territory well, mining the Ore-Rich Hills that had never been mined, improving and increasing farmland, erecting many Castles in strategic locations that would allow him to grow richer from nearby trade routes and allow them to quickly dispatch forces as needed.

Local Villages were fortified and improved, the Clan's Medicare was invested in and The Young King opened a school in every village that he used to scout hidden gems.

The Young Great King was also named an Ultimate-Class Devil at the still formative age of eight, after a three year apprenticeship under Legendary Devil Mephisto Pheles and his acquisition of the Boosted Gear through unknown means. But more importantly was the extreme loyalty his personal guard showed him.

Men and Women of unrecognized potential who were given a home, a well-paid job, and a purpose. Their lead was a young man who went by the name Shooting Star, and his loyalty was absolute.


(Corvinus Bael's POV)


Corvinus had been very busy, he had a chance encounter six months ago that gave him an idea, an idea which was now a reality. His old Life's memories allowed him recollection of Shooting Star's Team, and it's members. Imagine his surprise when he met the Team's Bishop, thus began an idea an idea he made reality.

Shooting Star was found and so too were his other team members. Corvinus offered them everything Cannon had denied them, he gave them land to call their own, food, work that paid well, and in exchange they became The Foundation, an elite group of specialists loyal specifically to the House of Bael.

Now He had no need to recruit them to his own Peerage and instead recruited those who would have joined the original Sairaorg to help them and provide a pool of recruits when Magdaran and Sairaorg came of Peerage age.

Looking at the Boosted Gear on his left arm, of which he'd sacrificed in order to wield it, he smiled at his success. Ddraig was willing to join him as a partner provided he help him get Tiamat off his scaly ass, and beat Albion silly. Both of which he agreed, but he still had to sacrifice his left arm from shoulder to finger tips, the result was a wellspring of Draconic Energy. In Ddraig's words it was his soul remade into flesh.

It brought to mind Ravus Nox Flueret after failing miserably to sway the Past King's of Lucis into giving their power to him and the Niffs. Ddraig had said just below the elbow would have sufficed but Corvinus cut off his whole arm. His Arm required Kuroka or Akeno to suck the excess Draconic Energy from it.

He'd taken to storing some of it in a Magical Crystalline Container if Kuroka or Akeno were unavailable. It was essentially a Draconic version of the blue container that allowed Irina to wield Excalibur Mimic.

Corvinus had expanded his Peerage, Kuisha to his immense surprise took a Rook since she and it were drawn to the other. He'd gotten Georg as his Contracted Magician and hinted to Lavinia a Desire to have her join the Greater Bael Family through either his Future Bride's Peerage or Kuisha's. He'd also gotten his hands on Siegfried and Leonardo to a degree.

Siegfried had just had a falling out with his Church Master's after they attempted to confiscate Gram from him. So he pulled a Diadora and Met with him, had Kuroka video it and send it livestreamed to the Vatican.

They swiftly dispatched Jeanne and David Cerro to apprehend Sieg and Execute him.

Suffice to say after the battle Sief joined him. Becoming his first Knight.

Now Leonardo was interesting because he was a Contracted Client for Sieg who agreed to join then after Corvinus helped him reach Balance Breaker, so despite being considered a recognized member he was not in fact a member.

Corvinus had been busy doing g two other things as well as all that, he'd been training harder than ever and was capable of the Demonic Whip and Gatling Gun he'd imagined long ago. He'd also acquired twin Anti-Angel Pistols for his Demonic Destruction bullets.

Corvinus looked at his Sacred Gear and his Knight, before smirking. Time for some hard training.


(Siegfried Selzen POV)


Siegfried panted hard, ever since his joining of the Young Bael, he'd grown so much stronger, so much faster, and so much more powerful. As a result of becoming a Devil his compatibility with Gram and his other Swords had increased significantly.

Siegfried was grateful for the new purpose his master had given him after the Church turned against him. Especially when the two sparred was when Siegfried was most grateful, his master never held back, he taught Sieg that giving less than your best when fighting a superior opponent was the greatest dishonor one could give.

As a result, Sieg took his Master's Mantra as his own:

Eat,

Drink,

Train,

Conquer,

Sleep,

Repeat.

It was the code of The Foundation, but it was also Sieg's code.

Siegfried had, like all his Master's Peerage Members received instruction in the Senjutsu and Youjutsu Arts, as well as Touki. Siegfried was able to imbue his Touki into his Sacred Gear, as well as his Demonic Swords, a recognized feat in and of itself.

''Your Dexterity has improved, a little more and you should have no equal.'' His Master praised him. ''However Your not using Senjutsu to relieve the fatigue as well as you could, even if it's just for a second, that second could mean life or death.'' His Master said with a small frown on his face.

''It's difficult to control my Chi Flow amidst battle when I'm in Balance Breaker and wield all my Swords. But I have been increasing my usage of the Moving Meditation you taught me as a way to reconcile the problem.'' Siegfried admits.

''Remember that type of Meditation only works if you completely detach yourself from all but your base instincts and emotions, it requires exceptional mastery if you hope to incorporate more complex instincts and emotions.'' Corvinus warned knowingly, having been the inventor of the Meditation as a way to increase the effectiveness of Senjutsu, Youjutsu, Touki, and his Boosted Gear.

''I know Kaster, and I thank you for the time you have given me.'' Siegfried says arm against his chest and head bowed in respect.

''Sieg, we've been over this, as soon as training or battle has ended we do away with such archaic positions. Hmm, in any event I have a small matter in the Human World to attend to with Kuisha, Regulus, and Kuroka. Your in charge of the Peerage until my return, for any Non-Peerage affairs you are to defer to my Mother, Lord Zekram, or Lord Ubba.'' Says Corvinus as he uses a spell to remove his sweat and perspiration as he didn't have the time to shower.
