章 20: First Study Session
I can't believe it's happening already.
Chris started panicking as she stood in front of Lust's office. A while ago a maid came to call her that her presence was needed.
She alone knows that it's either her tutor is behind this doors or it's to talk about her study session.
She braced herself as she knocked on the door. She waited awhile before she heard a voice.
"Come in"
She slowly entered the office with her heart in her mouth. Every step she took made her heart beat faster. She doesn't know why she was so scared,I mean she is used to studying,she was going to school before all this happened but somehow that doesn't stop her from being scared.
Chris tried her best not to look at the faces present in the office. She stood by the corner and kept her head down.
"This is Sir Gideon and he will be your tutor from today"
Lust stared at the clearly nervous girl. He could smell her fear from where he was seated.
He turned to Gideon and both passed a message between themselves with their eyes.
"O-ok"
She raised her head and looked at Lust. She could feel another pair of eyes on her, making her turn slightly to stare at the middle aged man. He was adorned in a pair of glasses and formal wear. He had a bit of white hair on his head, showing how old he was.
"Hello ,My name is..."
"Christiana. Am well aware. The Prince here has already told me all their is to know about you."
The tutor spoke firmly while offering her a small smile hoping to make her relax.
"Oh ok!"
"I have prepared an office for you, where your tutoring will be undergoing. So you can use it anytime"
Lust smiled at her and gave a nod making her relax.
"Shall we. I would like to start today"
The tutor spoke already moving towards the door.
Chris nervously stared back at Lust as she followed her tutor out.
Lust smiled at her, easing her fear.
She walked slowly behind her tutor as he lead her to her new office. His footsteps poised. His shoulders firm. He had so much air of confidence and discipline around him.
When they approached the office, he stepped in leaving the door open for her.
Chris stepped in as well, closing the door behind her. She was marvelled at how beautiful the office was. You could clearly see how much effort was put in decorating the place.
She felt touched at how much effort Lust put in decorating the place for her. It was just her style. Not too formal and not too simple either. It was just right.
She approached the desk were the tutor was already seated and going through a pile of books deposited on the desk.
She made her way around the desk and sat down stiffly awaiting further instructions from him.
"You won't be able to learn anything if you don't relax"
The voice of her tutor reached her making her look up at him. She wasn't aware that he has been watching her all this while.
She took in a deep breath and smiled at him.
"So today we will be learning about the basis of the demon world"He spoke opening a really old book in front of her.
She leaned closer trying to focus on what he was about to say.
"Am sure as humans, you all believe in hell and heaven right?"
"Yes"
She replied while staring at him
"What if I tell you that this is not hell?"
Her tutor asked staring at her pointedly.
Chris was confused ,of cause she has heard people time and time again refer to here as the demon world but wasn't that the same thing as hell.
"I don't understand"
"You see there are multiple world's out there but I will only pinpoint two that's the human world and the demon world. We are currently in the demon world. The demon world has four kingdoms.
Of which the largest is called Gorham and is headed by King Demora who is our ruler. The other smaller kingdoms are called Gotham,Amadon, and Coywath. They are ruled by three Lord's. By name Lord Acheron, Lord Adbeel and Lord Arioch. King Demora is still the ultimate ruler of the demon world but because of how large it was, he divided it and gave those sections to the three Lord's to handle. Now....hell itself is like a prison here. It's a different area.
Dead souls and the forsakens and punished souls are transferred there. Only three people are allowed in there,The king, and the two Prince's..."
Chris listened closely as the tutor kept on explaining and telling her about the demon world. She couldn't help but enjoy the lesson.
She found her self getting more curious by the minute as he explained thing's clearly to her. She never really understood anything about here but the more he explained,the more things became clearer to her.
Time slowly went by but she didn't even notice because of how interesting and intriguing the lesson was. She found her self excited for the next lesson already.
"Now...we have come to end of today's lesson. I will give you a book containing all the names and post of the higher demon's and important dignitaries and I want you to read it, and know them by heart. I will see you tomorrow and there I will answer any questions you have"
He nodded at her and handed her the book, immediately leaving the office.
She didn't realize how much time she has spent in here. At least it was better than doing nothing.
She picked up the book he handed her and left the office deciding to have a quick rest before dinner time.
She climbed up the stairs and walked through the hallway towards her room.
As she opened her room, she was shocked as she saw the back of a young girl close to her bed. Seeming dressing it. She was putting on the royal maids attire, making her believe that she is a maid.
But why would she enter her room when she is not present?
The maids here never enter her room without her being here.
When the maid realized someone was in the room, she stood up and turned around bowing slightly.
Chris could see her face clearly now. She looks young but not too young , probably in her 20s. Her hair was wrapped on her head. And she had soft features too.
"Good day my Lady, my name is Anna and I will be serving you personally"
The maid replied still keeping her head down.
Chris walk into the room more and stood close to the girl. She remembered Lust telling her about providing her with a maid but she never knew it would be this soon. Well at least she is human.
She smiled at the girl.
"You can look at me when you speak, no need for the formalities"
It would be good if she could at least make a friend here. No one has her time here. And it feels like she is going to go crazy soon.
The young girl raised her head and stared at her surprised.
"Where are you from?"
Chris asked her.
"Am from Coywath my lady but I live in the lower town with my grandmother."
The girl replied.
Chris was a bit curious about how a human could survive here so she couldn't help herself and ask her.
"Um..are you human?"
"Yes my lady"
"How did you manage to get to the demon world?"
She asked curiously.
"My family was brought here from the human world ,years ago before I was born. It was during the period when demons wanted to breed with humans"
She never knew such a thing happened. It sounded cruel. A lot of lives most have been lost cause definitely she believes some family will be resistant.
"Then how are you from Coywath if you were taken from the human world?" Chris asked confused.
"My lady,which ever demon Lord is responsible for you being brought here,then you become officially part of his governing and people"
She became more curious to here more.
"Sit down"
Chris pulled the young girl to sit with her on her bed. She could see how uncomfortable she was,so she gave her a little space and tuned her curiousity down a little.
"So do you have a demon parent?"
"No. My family was kept pure and wasn't breeded"
She could pick out how relieved the girl sounded that they weren't used.
"So is it possible for a human to breed with a demon?"
What was she asking? She herself was proof.
"Y-yes my lady, although it was not really accepted by majority of the demons,some demons here have human spouse and some were able to breed with them while some couldn't"
The girl replied a bit uncomfortable by the series of questions she was asked. She nervously twisted her fingers together while sitting stiffly.
"Why? I mean why weren't some able to breed?"
Chris moved closer to her,more curious than ever. Lust never told her about anything like this. It sounded like the humans were used as their lab rats.
"I-i don't really know my lady"
The girl replied standing up hurriedly.
Chris could see how she was reluctant to continue the conversation so she stopped asking her any questions.
"You can call me Chris you know"
"I-its not appropriate my Lady"
Anna replied keeping her head down.
She saw it would take some time to get her to warm up to her so she dismissed her, letting her go and wallowing in the new information she just got.
