2 Forgetting him

In reality, one of the reasons the demon Lord came to pick up Sakura was because she is not a normal human, but her ancestors moved to the earth where she loved most her life not knowing to secrets of her own family. Her ancestors moved to there because they wanted a simple life, not having to answer to any one and live the way they wanted...

As they arrive on the Yliel's castle, Sakura is amazed at the aesthetic and elegance of the place, she has never seen a castle so beautiful, the chandeliers looked like it was made of pure diamonds, which they were, the curtains made of the high quality fabric and felt like vevelt at touch... The furniture was make of the highest quality fragrant dark rosewood, the decoration was just like middle age decor, armour statues in the halls, paintings and a creepy atmosphere, but it had it's own charm.

"Welcome to me humble adobe." He says as he slowly releases her from his arms, she didn't know what to say she was just looking everywhere astonished. How could call this be humble? Too god damn gorgeous...

"Sebastian...?" Yliel calls and it echos all over the room increasing the creepiness in the room.

"Yes, sir?" he appear so mysteriously next to Yliel that Sakura gets a mild heart attack, the man was tall, had black hair and eyes with the same colour, he talked in a British accent that make him sound dignified and proper just like a servant of royalty in British films.

"Prepare a room for Sakura and..." he whispers into Sebastian's ears so Sakura would not hear. - "That closer to my room the better..."

"Oh... I see sir, so she is our future Lady boss!?" he equally whispers.

"Exactly!" Yliel shouts in a exorbitant tone that made Sakura giggles a bit even though she didn't hear what they were talking about.

Sebastian turns to Sakura and bows to her. "Hello lady Sakura, my name is Sebastian and I'm the head butler of this residence... I'm delighted to make your acquaintance."

"It's a pleasure meeting you too, Sebastian." she says in a awkward tone since she's not used to the formal talking Sebastian possesses.

"I will now go prepare your quarters and will be back as soon as possible." Sebastian says as he disappears the same way he appeared but this time she didn't get a jumpscare.

"Let's sit on that bench and talk for a while, I want you to feel as comfortable as possible." Yliel says as he guides Sakura to the bench in the balcony and them both sit down.

"It might take you a while to get used to this place." he started saying in a gentle tone as he looks to the horizon.

"I don't mind... I will take it as a vacation in a exotic place." she answers in a cheery mood, she was actually enjoying so much she kinda forgot how she got here in the first place.

"I mean, look at that scenery!! The shy is such a beautiful shade of purplish red and it looks like it's sparkling, it literally looks like the sky if made of gems and the cloud look so fluffy from here, as if you could actually lay on them..." - she says excitedly while was bouncing on the bench full of happiness.

Yliel didn't want to burst her bubbles because what she was seeing was in fact an illusion he created so she would not see the gory happening outside... okay it is not that bad but he wants to get her used to the landscape bit by bit so she would not be afraid of the creatures she has never seen before, but he has to tell her, he wanted her to trust him so no lies could be hidden from her if he wanted her to love him back.

"Actually my dear, what you are seeing right now is just an illusion I created specially just for you... there are hideous monsters and magical beasts all over the place so I don't want to frighten you." he says in a wary but gentle tone.

"You didn't need to do that, Yliel." Sakura smiles with appreciation from the demon's considerate side.

"... But I want for you to enjoy the time you spend in here, so I'm trying my hardest to be a great host." Yliel holds Sakura's right hand and gives her a courteous peck on it making her blush in the process.

"I-if you... say so..." poor Sakura's heart was beating so fast she thought she was having a stroke.

The demon country was a beautiful place indeed but not in hand eyes... there where carnivorous plants everywhere, monsters of all shapes, sizes and power levels, it was a true nightmare for a beginner adventure, even a veteran would struggle with it a bit... however, there were actual villages with different species in it and every one lived fairly happy there. As Yliel tells Sakura some of the history of the Demon country Sebastian finally pops up.

"The preparations are complete." when Sakura hears the announcement out of nowhere she flinched as if caught doing something wrong and looks at the direction from where the voice came from, it was just Sebastian and a little maid right next to him. Sakura puts her hand against her chest in relief. (But you did nothing wrong why are you so jumpy? (○д○') )

"Oh good... Sakura I bet you are tired right now, follow Sebastian and he will guide you to your new quarters." Yliel said while he stands up.

"I will be in the study." he says and exits to room.

"This way lady Sakura..." Sebastian says as he exits the room, Sakura follows right behind him and the maid that hasn't spoke since she appeared, she was curious about the new face, as if reading her mind, Sebastian says.

"Lady Sakura, this girl will be your personal maid during you stay with us, her name is Alea, she will answer to you when her you need help with anything."

"It's a pleasure to serve you, lady Sakura." Alea says in a respectable tone while slightly bowing her head as a sign of etiquette, the girl was tall about 10 cm above Sakura but she had a baby face, golden blond hair, bright green eyes like well treated grass and goat like horns sticking out of her head, she was wearing a maid outfit.

"You guys don't need to be so subservient..." Sakura says while blushing a little because she has never been treated like a noble much less as an important person.

"... from now on, just call me Sakura, okay?"

"Yes lad-... I mean, Sakura." the girl became a bit flustered but it went away as soon as it appeared, they were trained to show as less emotions as possible after all.

"It will be impossible for me, lady Sakura... talking like this is a part of me so it can't be change." Sebastian says as he continues walking with no changes in emotion.

They walk through the halls in silence until they reach their destination, Sakura's chambers.

"Lady Sakura, we have arrived to you room." - They enter the room as Sebastian announces and it was so luxurious that Sakura almost tripped, the walls where a dark shade of red, the transitional capony bed gave a princess feel to the room, the furniture was classic but well crafted, it looked like a 5 stars themed hotel room.

"there is a bathroom attached to this room so it's easier for you to have your privacy, all necessities already inside so the miss can just use as she pleases, also the wardrobe is full of clothes for you, master told me to arrange them for you, they are in a Victorian style but I assure you they are comfortable to wear" Sebastian says as he opens the wardrobe to show Sakura the beautiful dresses.

"They are so gorgeous... are you sure I can wear them?" Sakura says in a hesitant voice as she looked at the beautiful dresses laid before her eyes.

"You can wear now if you like, my lady." Sebastian gives her a affirmative smile.

"I will now take my leave, Alea will take care of you and of you need me you can just call and I will be here in a flash." he bows and disappears as soon as Sakura blinked.

Sakura walks to the bathroom and the sight surprised her, the bath tub or should I say, the small pool, fit 3 to 5 people inside, it was massive she could literally swim inside, the bath room was entirely made of marble, every thing inside was golden marble, there was another door that lead to the toilet but she didn't look at it, she was brought back from her thoughts by Alea's voice.

"Miss... Sakura would you like me to prepare the bath for you?" she asks a bit hesitant because she really does not know if she should really address her mistress without honorific.

"Just Sakura is fine... and yes I would really like to take a bath now." she giggles at Alea's reaction at calling her name.

"... I will prepare it immediately, in the mean time, lad... you can wait in the room." - she was so flustered that she just kicked Sakura out of the bathroom and did her job, when she started working in the castle she was getting mentally ready for when the master got a mistress, since most female demon aristocrats are so ruthless, evil and treated their servants badly but she didn't expect that her mistress would have been such a lovely and kind person, she was happy the be able to work for someone like this.

While Alea was in the bathroom, Sakura took her phone and checked it, as soon as she pressed the 'on' button the picture of her and Sasuke together appeared before her, she felt her heart constrict from the pain she had forgotten for the few hours since she arrived here , she felt like crying but at the same time no tears wanted to fall, he doesn't deserve her tears, she thought to herself, she deleted the picture and left it on default wallpaper.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

A few minutes later, Alea enter the bedroom with a basket in her hands.

"Sa- Sakura, y-your bath is ready." she says nervously.

"You don't need to be so on edge, Alea... just treat me like a friend or a close relative." Sakura says with a smile since she wanted to have a good relationship with the girl.

"Yes..." the girl says in a low voice and follows Sakura into the bathroom.

When Sakura saw the bathroom it was worse then when she first entered, now the water was steaming because the water got heated and red roses petals were scattered in the water, the fragrance in the air was so relaxing.

"Sebastian told you're a bit stressed from certain issues that happened before you arrived in here so I prepared a bath with some calming and cleansing effects." Alea says as she put down the basket that was full with different bottles.

"Thank you..." Sakura gives her a weak smile as starts taking her clothes out, Alea wanted to help but since this was modern clothes there was really no need for her to help so Sakura turned her down. Sakura slowly enters the bath while Alea starts dumping oils into the water making it pinkish and milky colour  mixed together, it looked pearly.

"While you are soaking I will wash your hair." Alea says as she picks the items she will need for the task.

"Now this is really starting to feel like a spa." Sakura laughed at the thought while she let swam to the edge of the 'bathtub' and let Alea do her job.

After the bath Alea chose a dress for Sakura since she had to go dine with master and the two walk to the dining room because it was time to go, as she arrived at the dining room, Yliel almost feel from his chair because Sakura looked so beautiful I cold not take his eyes of her, the long blue dress was so perfect in her that his was lost for words...
