Chapter 42 - a new environment

Dean's pov

Ruling a kingdom filled with demons wasn't as easy as Dean thought, so many people against him. So many people after the throne, and most your life. Everyday was spent with cautiousnes because any sleep up and he's dead. It's not easy to kill a high rank demon, but the ones that came after Dean had the knowledge of how too.

He had lots of work to do, so many fight and dispute to settle. His dad has been off throne for a while making the kingdom in a bad shape. Now I know why mortem had been so persistent, he thought.

Spent most of his days killing people, not like he liked doing so but it was either him or them.

They were four kingdoms in different parts of this world(xenon)- zaron, Nile, laken, blue seal. before Dean ascended the throne he was thought a few things. In the world they was an overall ruler of this entire demon world, but he was hardly ever seen. Rumour has it that he got killed, cause most definitely he cannot die. While other has it he went in search of some one fit to take over, meaning anyone could be chosen.

Each kingdom has other cities with high class demons ruling them. There are the upper rank demons, middle rank demons and the lower rank. For you to Identify an upper rank demon, for the males they is a barbed wire tattoo on the upper part of their left arm, while for the female it is located on their upper left thigh.

For middle rank, the male- it is located after their elbow, and for the females before their knee. For the lower rank, the males - it is located on their wrist, for the female it is located on their ankle.

Higher rank demons have two ranks first and second, the first ranked demon their tattoo is located on their right part, while the second ranked is located on the left. That's what differentiates a rulers from Dukes.

If your related to any of the members sitted on the throne, they would be a tiny star above your mark. The rules here are wild and absurd, one can increase their rank by killing a rank higher than theirs, but one has to be really skilled because each rank with their level of strength.

And if a female marries a man of higher rank and bores him a child her rank automatically changes.

Amongst all the rulers Dean is the youngest, the rest are all above 400. Making other rulers deeming him to be unfit to rule, due to the lack of knowledge he has.

The dressing over here are different. Everyone here dresses how ever they please,no restrictions or modesty. But higher ups have their own attire, that's if they choose to wear. The men wear a cloth on their waist, it covers from their lower abdomen down to their knees, made from the finest and most expensive material. Everything is based on if you can afford the clothing. It's their choice to either leave their chest bare or cover it up, but they are always to prideful, showing off their markings.

while the women wear could either be sleeveless turtleneck blouses that stops a bit below their bossom's, or half cut tops that leaves their the top of their bosom's prominent, with a pencil skirt that either stops right before the knée or way shorter, with slits on both sides.

The ageing here is different to, no one looks beyonds their late 20's to early thirties. The babies grows faster than usual.

In the age and look wise they are the teens - they look like teenagers- but they are above 100 years of age, The youth - they look in their early twenties, but they are above 400 years of age. The middle age, they look in their late 20's, but are above 700. While the old age, they look early 30's- they are above 1000 and upwards.

Dean sat on the throne, his left leg on the left armrest while his right leg on the floor, he placed his left hand over my face. He felt really exhausted, because he had little to no rest and lots of errands. He might be a demon, but he still had his human side. He just need even if it was 30 minutes of sleep before he would be summoned to to do something.

Just when he was about sleeping, someone spoke. "Master Adrienne you are needed". The person that spoke was named Xavier, he was the one assigned to Dean immediately after he got here. Xavier was Dean's personal servant and assistant, just the way Mortem was his dad's personal servant.

Xavier was a tall pale skinned guy, his silky black hair complemented his dark gray eyes. He had a well constructed jawline with a pointed nose, the attire he wore revealed his well defined body structure, hard chest and abs. He was tall, so it complimented everything on him.

Xavier is a second higher ranked demon, so he was in his attire, revealing the barbed wire tattoo on his left arm. He always had the same look on his face, plain and void of any expression and emotions. Dean found hard most times to know how he really felt, since he doesn't smile or show any form of reactions.

"What is it now ?", Dean asked in a very irritated.

When Dean came, he knew nothing about this world, or how it worked. It was Xavier that put him through, he also thought him how to fight and defend himself from any threat. Xavier always accomplished every tasked he was assigned to do, with out complain which made him know he had his back.

Dean never really considered Xavier as a servant, besides Xavier was way older than him both in demon years and human years. In human years Dean was twenty one and he twenty two, and in demon years Xavier was a few years close to 400. Here time works differently and is more faster, Dean has already spent 50 years here, making him 71. Xavier never spoke unless he was spoken to, he never crossed any boundaries or even try crossing any, sometimes dean felt he was programmed.

"A higher rank from the kingdom of Nile is picking a fight with one of the Duke assigned to green",said Xavier. Green is one of the cities in zaron

"And that is my concern how?" Dean asked irritated putting down his hand from his face to look at Xavier.

"As the ruler of the kingdom of zaron it's your duty to settle disputes that happens in your kingdom especially when the dispute is caused by an outsider", Xavier said he hands folded behind his back.

Dean sat straight staring at Xavier, but Xavier neither moved nor said a word, but Dean knew he was waiting for him to stand up and take action. When you stay with them long enough you begin understand them.

He let out a deep sigh then said, "Fine.. take me there".

"Right this way master Adrienne", Xavier said waiting for Dean to get up.

"You know you could just call me by my name right?" Dean asked placing his hand on his shoulder. "I know, I just choose not too", Xavier said disappear along with Dean.
