Alex remained silent and absorbed in his book, seemingly uninterested in the proceedings. Meanwhile, the other guests nodded in agreement, eager to see who would be presented first.
But...
As soon as the host mentioned Alex, the Ruler of Lust, the atmosphere in the room grew tense. The guests' faces showed mixed emotions, ranging from anticipation to dread.
They knew that Alex was a powerful and unpredictable demon whose reputation preceded him. The only sound that could be heard was the clinking of glasses and the munching of food.
Alex made his way into the room, his face devoid of any expression, making it difficult for anyone to gauge his mood or intentions.
He walked with the confidence of someone who knew that he commanded respect, his eyes fixed on his book as he took his seat at his designated table.
The host cleared his throat to regain the attention of the guests. "As you all know, Alex is the Lord of Lust, and he commands great power and respect. I ask that you all show him the utmost courtesy and respect during his time here."
Alex remained silent and continued to read his book, ignoring the host's words. Despite his nonchalant attitude, everyone in the room knew better than to underestimate him. They had heard stories about his ability to manipulate desires and twist people's minds to his will.
The tension in the air was palpable as everyone waited for the next move of the Lord of Lust.
To avoid revealing any negative emotions, Alex opted to maintain his usual indifferent demeanor. He walked towards his throne which had been moved to the gathering place from the banquet room in a mysterious way.
Once he settled into his plush seat, he felt a sense of relief. He detested shifting awkwardly in front of others, so being in such a comfortable seat put him at ease.
He could easily access the table in front of him, which had a variety of food and drink items laid out for him. He simply reached over and took whatever he desired without any hesitation.
Alex knew that he needed to be careful with his actions and words, for fear of revealing any undesirable traits or secrets that may be used against him in the future. He made a mental note to keep up his façade of indifference and maintain a low profile during the event.
Alex was surrounded by an assortment of plush pillows, much like a wealthy sheikh in his harem. He could comfortably recline on any of them at will.
"These are his preferred concubines and his fiancée, Nyssa, Daughter of Pride," the servant announced, gesturing towards the women behind Alex.
It seemed that the presence of concubines or a wife/fiancée alongside a powerful figure like Alex was not unusual, as some guests could be heard whispering about it to each other.
Nyssa's status as a Daughter of Pride was noteworthy and appeared to be a surprise to some of the guests, who were likely not aware of her engagement to the Lord of Lust. Despite this, she exuded an air of confidence and regality, fitting for someone of her stature.
The murmurs of the guests could be heard as they whispered to each other in surprise upon learning that the new Lord of Lust, Alex, was engaged to Nyssa, a Daughter of Pride.
It seemed that this was not common knowledge among the attendees of the event, as they were caught off guard by the revelation.
Nevertheless, Nyssa sat close to Alex, behind his throne, along with his preferred concubines, occupying a place of privilege next to the powerful ruler.
Her presence was a clear indication of her status as Alex's future wife, and it was evident that she was held in high regard by him, given her favored position among his companions.
Nyssa took the first seat next to Alex and nestled herself closely to him, and he did not seem to mind her proximity.
The introductions continued with the next guest, a witch named Lauryn who was also known to be living among the demonkind.
As the introductions went on, murmurs could be heard from some of the guests, indicating their surprise at the fact that a human had been given the status of favoured concubine rather than being treated as a mere slave.
It was clear that this was an unusual and unexpected move on Alex's part, and some were curious about what his intentions were in elevating humans to such a position.
Lauryn made her way towards Alex, causing Nyssa to feel a tinge of jealousy as she saw the witch take a seat next to him on the other side.
As Lauryn's name was announced, the Ruler of Sin appeared to have a brief moment of recognition, indicated by a subtle arching of a single eyebrow that went unnoticed by the others.
Despite Nyssa's discomfort, Alex appeared to be at ease with both of his favoured concubines snuggled up to him on either side.
It was not lost on some of the guests that a human, Lauryn, had been elevated to the position of favoured concubine, rather than being treated as a slave.
The murmurs and whispers amongst the guests grew louder as they discussed this unusual occurrence, causing some to speculate about the extent of Alex's power and influence.
"And the Fallen Angel, Aureal," announced the servant, drawing attention to a figure who was making their way into the room.
Alex shifted slightly in his seat, the sight of the fallen angel triggering a faint memory within him. "I remember hearing whispers about that name," he murmured to Nyssa beside him.
She looked at him quizzically, "What do you mean, my lord?"
"When the angels and demons were in conflict four hundred years ago," Alex explained, "there were rumors about the last angel to fall from grace. Aureal was their name."
