Lilithia sat there comfortably on the soft sofa inside the room of the satan. Lilithia couldn't believe she had a new name. She hoped that perhaps the satan would allow her to use a nickname instead — it's quite a long name compared to Bella, after all.

"Satan Asiul, if I am allowed to ask, why am I here when I've already passed away? Another thing, why is it that I am given a new name when I already have one? It's Bella," Lilithia asked, her hands pinching her nose gently again.

Satan Asiul's eyes widened. There has never been a case similar to this. There must have been an error from The Above—no one's supposed to have any knowledge of this except the rulers. If word gets out, a terrible occurrence might occur for Hell as well as for Heaven. Satan Asiul bit her lip, stressed. After much work, The Above suddenly sent her a new demon after fifty years of waiting. She fully understands why. Hell did have a terrible reputation in the human world.

"Aleas Vanzhuer Hadenforht Shielderuth," Satan Asiul chanted.

Lilithia fidgeted, fearing that the satan in front of her would hurt her. She unconsciously closed both her eyes.

Satan Asiul, who saw this, felt wronged. Why was the demon in front of her so terrified of her? She sighed. She still has her memories. Satan Asiul reminded herself.

Satan Asuil got up from her seat and sat beside Lilithia before wrapping both her strong arms around the demon girl.

"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you," Satan Asiul said, then placed a soft kiss on the back of Lilithia's hand.

After the fact that Satan Asiul had kissed her hand had been processed on her brain, Lilithia blushed. Nope. Hate her. Earning herself a soft chuckle from the satan herself. They were only a few feet apart.

Satan Asiul had an amused expression on her face. She crossed her leg and spread her arms on the back sofa feeling relaxed as she leaned back. She was happy that someone from The Above had chosen to be in Hell, in this case, it was Lilithia. What bothered her the most, was why in Hell had this demon child been named Lilithia.

"I can see that you have any questions. Feel free to ask. I only chanted a magic spell so that only no one could hear what we are discussing," Satan Asiul said, ensuring that she hadn't meant to scare Lilithia.

"Why is my name Lilithia? I have a name, and it's Bella, Your Majesty," Lilithia said awkwardly, fidgeting.

This made Satan Asiul chuckle out of amusement. She was rather intrigued by the newcomer. Satan Asiul looked at Lilithia carefully. Indeed after the appearance of Lilithia, there would be a troublesome turn of events, especially when this newcomer still has her memories intact. What is The Above planning? Satan Asiul thought. She better educates Lilithia later on about the gist of Hell. There used to be an academy where newcomers would spend a week learning about Hell. Sadly, starting the last few thousands of years less and less were assigned to Hell while Heaven was becoming more crowded than ever. The Adionis of Heaven even begged her father — the previous Satan to let the angels convert to demons.

"I'll explain the basics later since you have a question. I didn't name you Lilithia because I wanted to. It was the name given to you by The Above. See that tattoo on your arm?" Satan Asiul said, pointing her index finger.

Lilithia lifted her arm and pushed her sleeves upward, and indeed there was a tattoo — words that she didn't understand. With this, one of her many questions was answered.

However, Satan Asiul mentioning the place called The Above, made her think that it might be the place where she had gone before being sent to Hell.

"Can I not use my real name anymore, Satan?" Lilithia asked.
