章 23: Arrival of the Trio

Things have been a bit odd today. Maids are constantly moving around. The palace looks more decorative like they are preparing for a party or something. And everyone has this weird look on their faces. Some of the maids look excited for whatever reason and some look scared and on edge.

I sat on my bed not knowing what to do. Surprisingly I don't have a class today and Lust is no where around. I didn't even see him for breakfast which is werid.I'm going to die of boredom soon.

"My lady" Anna came into the room with a gown on her arm. She kept her head down and moved towards me.

"You are expected to wear this in the evening"

She dropped the gown gently on the couch and was about leaving.

This is my chance to ask her what's going on.

"Hey Anna!"

"Yes milady?"

She turned around still keeping her head down.

I wonder why she feels the need to bow her head at me. I am no one.

"Do you...know what's going on today? Everyone is acting strange. The maids some are usually giggling or chatting in a corner. Which is something I have never seen and the palace is more decorative than usual. Is their a party or something?"

To say I was curious was an understatement. I was mega curious. A party meant more food and more food meant more meat! I love meat....

Here they always have a time to eat. Breakfast is at a particular time. If you miss it then you starve, same with dinner and I just realized they hardly eat lunch.

I'm just glad Lust thinks of me and send them with lunch for me or breakfast whenever I miss cause I don't think I can stay without food.

"You don't know??"She had this surprise look on her face and came closer to me as if what she was about to say was a secret.

"The trio are coming!" Her cheeks looked so red at this point as she whispered it out.

To say I was confused at this point would be an understatement . Cause I can't understand her reaction and also the trio? What's the trio?

"What is the trio?"

"It's not a what milady but a who"

Oh so it's a person. Probably an important demon I guess.

"Milady!The trio are the most sort out bachelor's in the entire kingdom. They are the sons of the high Lords and Prince Lust's best friends I believe. It's rumoured that they always move together. They have been together since they were kids. But it's been awhile they have been here. So everyone is excited and worried."

She definitely looks to be in the excited part. Lust's best friends? I never kn.... What do I even know about him! What even are we? I just shaked my head trying to clear my thoughts.

"Now I understand why the maids are constantly giggling and excited about their arrival. But why are most worried?"

She sat down beside me, looking excited to talk.

"Milady that's because they wreck havoc whenever they come. They lack manners and don't care about status at all. And they always cause trouble. They are big-time players. I heard from the maids that, they have slept with most of the maids except for one of them though who they say is calm and hasn't been seen with a maid in his room even though they keep frolicking around him."

I hummed feeling a bit excited myself to see this trio. They sound like the kind of boys your mom would tell you to stay away from.

"Okay Anna. You can go" She seemed flustered a bit. She stood up suddenly realizing how lost she was in the conversation.

She struttered out closing the door after her.

it suddenly felt like the room was closing in on me.The room was so quiet.

I took out the book I was suppose to be translating and tried to focus. But my thoughts kept drifting to those men. I wonder if Lust use to sleep around like they do?

Now I can't wait to see how they look. Time flew by as I tried translating some words with little success when a knock distracted me.

"Come in"

Anna walked in with a towel on her arm.

"Milady you should be getting ready now. Cause they will soon be here"

"What's the time?"Isn't it too early for me to be getting dressed. Honestly I don't even see why I'm suppose to dress extravagantly. It's not like they are coming to see me.

"Milady six hours has passed when last I came in here"

Wow it's been that long. I guess I was so immersed in my work that I didn't notice.

Anna helped me as I took my bath and dressed me in a flowery long yellow dress.I'm not sure if am a fan of bright colors but it looks nice and beautiful.

My red her was braided a bit and my curl's were let down. She applied a bit of mascara and lipstick on my lips knowing that's all I can accept.

"You look so beautiful milady.." she smiled at me making my ears turn red.

"All thanks to you.." I returned the smile making her blush slightly. A bell was heard next, distracting us.

"Oh my gosh!! They are here!" She bounced on her feet feeling excited.

"Let's go milady!"

She pulled me along with her as we ran down the hallway making everyone give us way as we passed. This is the first time she touched me and treated me like a normal person like she is other than someone higher than her. I mean am only 18! Not some lady! I couldn't help but glance at our hands as I smiled.

We ran till we reached a window we could look from. I would have loved to go down there but a part me just don't want to. I looked down the window with her. Everywhere was full of people. It was so crowded. I could see Rage and Lust as they stood in front of everyone ready to welcome the guests.

The huge gates opened up and a carriage rod in. An elderly man came out and shaked Rage and Lust giving them a warm smile. From what I read, and the pictures I have seen I'm sure he is Lord Acheron. He looks a bit elderly though. He had this air of confidence around him.

"Oooohh...here he comes"Anna tapped me looking excited. She kept tapping her feet.

"Which one?"

I asked looking outside as a foot stepped out of the carriage.

"Lord Austin!"

She had this dreamy look in her eyes.

From here I could here the screams of some maids.

He had blond hair that was long at one side covering a portion of his eyes. He has black eyes that looks a bit brown when he turns sideways. His physique was quite impressive. His attire was more on the darker side with a portion of his shirt button open. He ran his hand through his hair and shook Rage as he whispered into his ears. Rage entire body looks stiff from our here. And I can bet a thousand on it that he is angry for whatever reason.

Austin hugged Lust when he approached and they both looked quite close. He had this air of mischievousness and naughtiness around him that I can't place a finger on. He blew kisses to the girls and winked at them with a smirk on his face.

"Hahhhh....he looks so handsome" Anna had this huge blown out smile on her face. When she saw I was staring she stood stiffly and wiped the smile off her face making me grin.

"Somebody looks more excited to see him ehh.." I bumped my shoulder with her's making her ears turn red. She looked so shy at this point that I was afraid she would collapse if I continue to tease her.

The next carriage came in and a more slightly younger man came out. He had salt and pepper hair. I'm sure he is Lord Adbeel. His hair was geld to the back. He has this air of secrecy around him. His eyes were slanted and dark. His entire energy and body posture screamed not to be trusted. Even the way he greeted Rage and Lust didn't look free. Something about him didn't seat right with me. I guess it's because he is a higher demon.

Surprisingly no one came out after he did, making me shocked.

"It seems the other young lord isn't coming" I said to Anna but she shook her head

"He loves to ride alone"

And she was right cause a white horse came in with a young man riding it. His hair was white and long if not a bit longer than Lust's. It was braided and placed in a ponytail. A bit of hair fell over his eyes. He was dressed so corporately in white. He had this soft but mysterious look. I'm definitely sure he is the one Anna was talking about that doesn't entertain women. He is quite handsome as well. And looks kinda aloof

"That's Lord Leonard. He is the quiet one" She whispered to me.

I hummed acknowledging her words.

Suddenly he looked up like he noticed something and his eyes met mine making me seize me breath. It felt like he was looking into my soul. He has green eyes.

He looked away and approached Rage giving him a shake and Lust as well.

"Wow that was intense right?" I asked Anna as she nodded.

"I felt like he was looking beyond my heart" She replied.

If she felt that way then what was I suppose to say.

Next came in Lord Arioch. He looks much younger than the other Lords. He looks calm from what I can tell. His son came out next and my jaw dropped.

I couldn't help but gush at how cute he looked. He had soft features like a young boy. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. He wasn't as tall as the others. He was so handsome and cute honestly. His shoulders looked broad but he still had this boyish look on him.

When he smiled at Rage and Lust,I felt like my heart exploded with cream and chocolate cause that was the most heart dropping smile I have ever seen. Lust hugged him and smiled. It looked like he was the youngest one among them and the most treated as a baby.

"He is so pure.." Anna said.

"Hahaha..am not sure about pure but he sure looks like it" I chuckled softly.

I guess that's it then. No other carriage or horses entered through the gates. The gates were shut and everyone started dispersing.

"The trio has arrived" Anna said sighing.

I guess they are four now cause Lust looks close to them.

Something tells me they are going to be trouble.
