It was already dinner time and Chris was being lead to the dinning room by her maid.
She walked in as Anna bowed to her and left.
Lust and Rage was already seated seeming to be waiting for her. She took her seat and waited for them to proceed first.
A group of maids present in the dinning room, approached the table and opened the foods.
She was shocked when she saw what was served.
She looked around the table, trying to see if it was any different but it was all the same except for the bloodwine present.
"You people eat human food?"
She asked Lust looking surprised.
"We can eat anything. We just don't eat It often but yes some of us do eat human food if we want to"
"Then why did you people scare the hell out of me by eating that fresh meat that day?"
She asked frowning at him.
Rage wasn't really paying attention to them. He was already eating and half listening to them.
"It was all our father's idea. I know nothing about that"
Lust replied shrugging his shoulders.
She left the matter and decided to eat. Halfway through the dinner,she really wanted to ask him about the humans brought for breeding but decided to leave it since she doesn't know how he would react and she doesn't intend on getting Anna in trouble for telling her.
"You know you can drink bloodwine right, why take water?"
Rage asked staring at her intently all the way from the head table where he sat.
Lust who was sitting on his right side glared at him as he saw how uncomfortable Chris was with the question .
"Taste it you will like it. It comes with different flavour"
He said smirking.
"I'm still human if you have forgotten. Being partly demon doesn't mean am not human. And I am not ready to start drinking people's blood thank you."
She wasn't ready to accept being like them. Not after what it made her do. And after that day, she will never be able to drink blood or accept being a devilish being. She was human and that's all that matters to her. Being the king of hell or the demon King daughter was not going to change that.
She dismissed the matter and finished her food, bowing to them slightly before retiring to her room, hoping to read the book she was told to read before she sleeps.
~~~~~~~~~~
Chris was still asleep with the book open on her chest. She fell asleep last night while reading it.
The glare of the sunlight on her face making her open her eyes grouchily.
She saw the figure of Anna in her room, adjusting her curtains.
"Good morning my lady"
"Good morning"
Chris replied sitting up. She closed the book on her chest and kept it on her bedside table.
"Your bath is ready my lady. Would you like me to assist you?"
She wasn't yet used to being bathed. So she refused.
"No don't worry I will be fine"
She stood up and walked into the bathroom. She could smell the lavender in the bathtub as she slowly sank her body in. After a few minutes of bathing, she came out of the bathroom and sat down facing the mirror. Anna dried her hair for her and slowly combed her hair.
"Your hair is beautiful my lady"
"Thank you"
Chris replied staring at the smiling girl in the mirror. The way she was carefully and slowly combing her hair almost lured her to sleep.
"Should I help you with your dress my lady"
Ever since that day she wore that dress lust got for her, she found herself getting more comfortable with it. So she made them get more dresses like that for her. Other than their usual clothes. It's been a while she wore her regular clothes but she actually doesn't regret it cause these are way comfortable except for the tight corset she has to wear of cause.
She stood up and walked towards the bed where Anna helped her into her corset. Every string she pulled slowly felt like her air sac was getting cut.
"I-it's tight enough"She replied struggling to keep a straight face.
"It just needs to be a little tighter my lady" Anna replied cluelessly
"No no please no more. I feel like am going to faint if it's any tighter"
Her face and neck were already turning a shade of red due to how tight it was.
Anna helped her into a peach coloured dress. The dress looked simple but pleasant to the eyes. Her hair was braided and tied in a high ponytail on her head and a slight makeup applied on her face.
"Would you like to have breakfast here my lady before you meet your tutor?"
"He is already here?"
Chris asked surprised. Why wasn't she informed earlier.
"No! I will eat later, I need to go see him"
She hurriedly picked up the book and ran down the stairs towards her office were she saw her tutor already heads down in a book.
She lessened her steps and made her way to the desk and sat down on her seat.
"Good morning"
She greeted meekly
"Am sorry for keeping you waiting"
"It's quite alright. Have you memorized the names in there?"
The tutor asked pointing at the book she placed on the desk.
"Yes I have."
She cleared her throat and sat up ready to repeat it all to him
"There are 12 Council members excluding the princes and the King by name Sir Lancelot, Sir Jerome,Sir Fluke,sir Elliot, Lord Acheron,Lord Adbeel, Lord Arioch, Lady Theia, Lady Bridget , Sir Brooke, Lady Calida and Sir Fabien. All are demons and the group of elders are Sir Fluke,Lady Theia, Sir Lancelot, Lady Bridget and sir Jerome. All are higher demons and also govern the demon world. They are highly respected and helped in crowning the King and advising him...."
She took in a deep breath after reciting all that she memorized to him. Chris stared at the quiet man hoping to get a reaction from him.
"Good. That was commendable"
Sir Gideon replied nodding firmly at her. Chris couldn't help but feel elated at being praised.
"Remember them and don't forget it . Today we will be talking about the history of the demon world, including their language and demon names"
Chris took out a journal and a pen from the desk drawer hoping to make some entries as he speaks.
"The demons have their own language, just like humans do too. The demon language is not easy to learn and is mostly how a few communicate. In some cases they use it in classified Information that they don't want any other supernatural creature to be able to translate."
"Every demon has two names given to them at birth. A common name which you can call a human name and a demon name. Now the demon name is for their demon side. Demons here are not really addressed by their demon names except when the demon shows himself. Every demon has two side, a human side and a demon side. The demon side often shows itself when that demon gets angry or loses control either sexually or in a different situation."
"So what's your demon name?"
She asked.
So that's what Rage was telling her that day when he said that his name was Aiden and Aeshma.
"My demon name is Edgar but you shouldn't address me as that."
"But why does the Prince's bear Rage and Lust?"
"Because of the characteristics of their demons,they were given the titles Rage and Lust like the name implies. They are normally now addressed as prince Lust or prince Rage. But they both have common names but it's not recognized"
"What's Lust demon name?"
Chris asked curious to know. She already knew his common name but he never really told her his demon name. She couldn't pass the chance of knowing.
She saw how uncomfortable the tutor was in disclosing such information. Making her suspicious. She raised her brow and stared at him.
"Is there a problem?"
She asked.
"It's been forbidden to ever call or mention his demon name"
He replied, not ready to disclose more.
"Why?"
She asked confused.
"I don't know , only the prince knows that and I will advise you not to ask him. I believe it's a touchy subject"
He said to her once he saw how curious she was.
She nodded her head deciding to leave it at that. The more time she spends here,the more she feels like their is an air of secrecy around Lust. What could have made him make his demon name forbidden to be known?
"Now back to our topic.The demon world was created when the king was casted out of heaven with the three Lord's for revolting and wanting to change the Dynamics of heaven. It is believed they were casted down to rule here.
The king created demons and hell along with the Queen who was the first to ever be casted out of heaven because of her evil deeds. He shared the kingdom and gave a part to the three Lord's like I said earlier and together they have been ruling."
So that's the history of how it was created?
Of cause as humans they were told something similar but hearing it from someone more aware made it more believable.
Time went by with Chris trying to translate a book she was given. Gideon sat down on the couch watching her as she struggle to translate the words.
"It's okay. It will take time for you to be able to translate it. It will teach you some more and tell you how to understand and translate when when next I come on your next tutoring . Keep practicing till then though"
With that said, he stood up and left her.
Chris ignored the rumbling of her stomach and decided to continue trying to translate the book she was given.
'why is this so hard!! Even calculus wasn't this hard for me!!'
