Chereads / The Pride of Pandora / Chapter 2 - Two

Chapter 2 - Two

IT'S DECEMBER 3RD NOW.

I have about one billion of underlings with me, who decided to come to the side of the Pride General. Mostly because I'm powerful, I guess. And once I have to maintain my title, I live in a castle on the northwestern side of the "King" castle.

Although, sincerely, I prefer to live in a cabin in the dead woods, away from them, with a portal that connects me to my chambers in my castle. So, it's top-secret. And no one bothers me because they are too wrapped up being scared of me to say anything.

Well, anyone but the "King", of course. And the Generals of Envy and Gluttony. Although I can find a common ground with Farai that damned cannibal, the same can't be said about my relationship with Envy.

His name is Lukyan Yurin, he's 1472 years old, and a total psycho. He's obsessed with me in the worst way possible, wanting to have all I have. Even though he's stronger than me, which is stupid. Lukyan is sickening at a minimum.

I'm not scared of him because he's the closest to the "King", as his right arm. But I'm too conscious of him. Of the treat, he represents to me because of his obsessiveness. And he also keeps disrespecting me for being a female.

But he seems to be the only one to care about that. Demons are different than humans. Especially when the females are mostly stronger than the males.

What makes me even more uneasy is the fact that Lukyan was sent to Hell because he died after being executed. Executed after murdering 79 women of different ages in 79 weeks straight. The asshole's a mass serial killer.

How do I know that? He talks about it often. And he's quite proud of that. Makes sense he's a demon now.

I don't even want to know what he does to the girls when he comes to the human realm six times per year. Disgusting. Dreadful.

All the generals have a disturbing story as to why they were sent to Hell. Mine I've kept it a secret, so no one knows. At least I think not.

Farai, General of Gluttony, was a mass murderer in Africa. But she didn't simply murder about 120 kids, both girls, and boys, she did worse. She ate them all. That sick cannibal.

No wonder she's the representation of Gluttony.

Now Toshimitsu, General of Wrath, has a story I kinda comprehend more. He study in an all-boys school at the time and was heavily bullied and abused by his classmates back in Japan, so he took four of his father's guns and took his revenge, blinded by wrath. That's how he killed 57 boys of his age and then killed himself after that.

Toshi is better than Farai, I believe. Ruthless and easily stressed, with a very prominent temper, but powerful. Very tall and muscular too, with honey brown hair, he's quite cute.

However, Lust is one of the most terrible Generals to me. He's called Manasseh Narkis, 2933 years as a demon, born in what is now called the country of Israel, He kidnapped 60 women and 32 men, made them his slaves, and raped them every week. Also abusing them by beating them with a thick whip. Until he was poisoned and died.

He's also quite proud of that. So much that I almost wonder sometimes if want my position as the General of Pride. I'm still stronger than him, and that makes him quite annoyed. But Lust suits him more, seeing the crime he committed.

Then we have Greed. Amalia Wurman, the second youngest of all of us, is 228 years as a demon. And although her personality is disgusting, she's probably the General with the lightest past.

At the time, she was the biggest thief in Europe, and no one ever caught her. I also heard that she married four times rich guys and killed them all, just to get their money and properties. She died of sickness, something like that.

But the little I interacted with Amalia so far, she was very... Fake. She looked at me as if she wanted all I had and was ready to steal it from me, so much that she even asked to have a duel with me, but she's a lot weaker than me.

She may be a bitch, but she's gorgeous. Not as much as me, of course. But she's the second most beautiful female in hell. And as a human, she died at 37, while I died at 21, so she looks a little older than me. Still lovely, though.

Lastly, there's Sloth. Her name is Violetta Genovese, she's 1031 years old. She got sent to Hell after she killed her whole city with poison because they were bothering her and she wanted them to stay silent but that never happened. It was a city with 577 citizens with her.

There was an event in the city where everybody would be present, so she took the opportunity, poisoned all of the food, then got back to her home and slept for two days. When she woke up, everybody was dead. She got bored of being alone and poisoned her food, then died sleeping.

I can't imagine anyone else as the General of Sloth but her, to be honest. After she broke from her nightmare, she decided to become one of the Generals, because the position would give her the freedom to do nothing all day. Being able to walk on earth more times than the other demons was just a plus for her.

And with me, we are all the seven deadly demon Generals of the "King" of Hell.

Now, when it comes to our "King", as I said, no one knows much about him. Neither when he died, how old he is, nor his name. But that are some stories that might or might not be true.

Some say his name is Astrophel, others say it's Pollux and even Dionysius. But no one knows for sure. And there are also a few who believe he might be the one who the humans call Hades and Lucifer.

Lots of names. I don't even know where did they get them from.

I'm not curious to know, to be honest. That could be dangerous to me, and as a General myself, my hands are already full of problems. I don't need another one.

Even if he is the "King", the one I serve here.

Not like I have a choice. He's the strongest out of all of us. That comes with privileges, like being feared by everyone in Hell, which only the "King" accomplished so far.
