I have been bored since I arrived here. The only things I can do are sleep, eat, and make strange noises. That's my voice.
The best thing is that I was born into a well-doing family, and my father seems to be an archduke. Correct, I am a demon born, according to the system. Due to the high adaptability of demons in every environment, this is the best condition I could ask for, along with some random stuff I don't even understand.
I am in the country known as Rahail, where demons reside. It is ruled by King Kruphibett Rahail, who has been ruling for over 6000 years. At first, I was baffled by his age, but listening to my mother tell me tales of heroes and demon wars, I got the hint that there are immortal beings.
"Look at my child, dazing again. What great scheme are you preparing, my dear child?"
"My mother's voice pulls me out of my daze. She is also from the archduke family, but she rarely mentions family matters in front of me."
"Gaaa hamm."
"Aww, are you trying to talk to me?"
As the voice gets nearer, hands reach into his armpits, and he is being lifted. Observing closely, the person who is lifting him, Yukesh, is so gorgeous that some people doubt if she is even a living being.
She has crystal clear skin, white hair, perfect eyes, and lips, with red cheeks on her white, pale skin, enhancing her beauty. She stands around 6.7 feet tall and has a petite build. No one would be able to tell if she had given birth to any child.
Seeing her in front of him, he again stays to think, "How is she so beautiful? My standards of beauty are being messed up."
"Miranda, is there anything on my face?"
"No, house mistress, your face is perfect as always."
"Then why is my child staring at me as if I am a stranger?"
"Maybe he is measuring your motherly beauty."
"Hmm, is that right, my child?"
Coming out of his daze, he wants to say yes, but as expected, some child gibberish leaves his mouth instead of words.
"I wonder why you never cry. I thought every child cries in their baby phase, isn't that right, Miranda?"
"Yes, mistress, but I think he's a little special due to your and master's powerful bloodlines."
"Ho, she stares at her child, looking into his eyes. His eyes are dark like an abyss, just like his father's. His hair is just like his mother's—white. And his face has charm like his mother's too."
"Miranda, do you think it is alright to take him out since he is 3 months old?"
"Forgive me, mistress, but master told me it would be a bad idea to let the young monster leave until he reaches 2 years old."
"Is that so? If he says so, then I think we should wait. Honey, just grow up healthy. You are the hope of the Ledram family."
She kisses his cheek and puts him in his bed, then leaves the room.
"Yukesh," seeing his new mother leave, he utters a single word, 'Ledram.'
_____________*******
2 years later
Similarly, two years have passed very difficultly. Only I know how difficult it is to not be able to express your feelings, especially during the first year.
Hahh... A long sigh leaves the mouth of a 2-year-old child. His face is charming and cute, radiating some kind of charm.
"Young master, master is calling you in his office," comes the voice of a charming person. She is the first person he had seen when he came here. Young, petite, red pupils, and sharp teeth. Yes, she is Layne, who always pesters him.
"Ok Layne, prepare my outfit."
"Ok," comes the cheerful voice. Seeing her delighted face gives me a stomachache.
"Today is the day where I will start to receive formal education and political education about the world. After absorbing the different changes in this body, I am not amazed to find this early education."
Soon, I reach the huge door, which is so huge. It seems like everything in this house is big. I don't know how they made this kind of architecture, but I know it's humanly impossible.
Anyway, soon the door opens as I just touch it, and the interior is visible.
The whole room is huge, with white walls and paintings on the ceiling. On the floor, a red carpet is laid, and there isn't much in the room except bookshelves and a large desk in the middle, beside the window.
There is a person who is checking the documents. Dark eyes, dark hair, and a tainted face. He is handsome, comparable to Earth's most handsome faces, except for the scar on the side of his forehead.
Just as I close the distance, he shifts his attention towards me, which used to give me chills, but not anymore.
His face doesn't show any reactions, no matter what you do, but seeing his concern, I can clearly say that he is a good father.
"Father," I speak and directly go to hug him.
"My son, how are you doing?"
"I am doing fine, Dad. What about you?"
"Oh, I too am doing fine."
"Just his voice is the thing we can take as his reaction."
"So, are you ready to learn from now on, then?"
"Yes, Father. I shouldn't delay anymore and betray your expectations."
"Haha, son, don't worry. If ever anyone points a finger at you, their whole heritage will crumble."
Hearing this, it's not a funny thing, especially when his voice and face don't match.
"Haha, sure. Anyway, have you selected any teacher for me?" Yukesh asks his father.
"After all, I can't delay anything anymore. Otherwise, it would be too bad if I return to Earth and something happens to my sister."
"I am grateful for my current parents too. They are providing what my previous parents used to provide, and I will not forget the favor, but I should meet my sister too. Her safety is my top priority."
"Yeah, son, he's quite a good teacher and quite famous at the same time. He has taught the current demon lord, so I can assure you that he will guide you well."
"Wow, anyway, Dad, how much authority do you have in our kingdom?"
"Hmm, if I had to say, if you massacre a town in our kingdom, no one will question you."
"Gasp... What the fuc... isn't he the overlord then?"
"Won't the lord execute you immediately if you kill many people at once?"
"Haha, don't worry about that small stuff. Just focus on your study."
"Your emotionless face and cheerful voice make me panic sometimes, Dad," what he wanted to say, but obviously he won't.
"Ok, then let me leave then.
Also, meet your Mother, before you go to the study room. She is eager to meet you."
sure"Ok, then, bye-bye..."
I exit the room and go to my mother, who was recently away from home and has just come back.
After greeting Mom
and receiving a face full of kisses, I leave her room too.
"Khikhi..." Layne is giggling. She thinks it's cute. Sigh...
"Layne, if you have had enough fun, lead me to the study room."
"Okay, master, as usual, in a cheerful voice."
