Hubris (ObeyMe! Lucifer x Fem!reader)

Chapter 2: "...So you basically kidnapped me."

*This chapter cover is from the game Obey Me*

-"Welcome to the Devildom, (Y/N)."

...

ExCuSE mE?

Who is this guy?
Who are ALL these guys?
What the heck is the Devildom?!
WHERE the heck is the Devildom?!
How did I get to this Devildom?!
WHY AM I HERE?!!!

Speechless, I give a dumbfounded stare back. It seems like they were expecting a reply from me because awkward silence befell the room as all of the men surrounding me looked at me with anticipation.

It stays like that for a couple of minutes until the man who welcomed me clears his throat, realizing that I am probably not going to speak.

"Say, Barbatos..." said the man, "Can this human speak? Or is it mute?"

I don't know what threw me off more, the fact that he referred to me as "this human", or the fact that he referred to me as "it".

Anyways, the guy named Barbatos, whose fine way of dressing and manner of speaking made me conclude that he was either this guy's butler or personal assistant, replied saying: "I believe it speaks, young master. I am certain I heard it cursing in its sleep while I was carrying it to here...".

...
I WAS WHAT-

"Oh I see...must be speechless, then." replied the "young master", then he turned towards me again saying: "Oh, pardon me. Feeling a bit shocked, are we? Well, that's understandable. You've only just arrived, after all."

I only just looked him up and down...totally not checking him out in the process...

Oop-

Anyways, even though he was sitting, I could tell that he was a tall and well-built man. But what stood out about him the most was his maroon red hair and his golden eyes.

I need to ask him where he got these eye lenses from because they look so real...

He continues speaking again, interrupting my thoughts.

-"As a human, it will probably take a little while for you to adjust to things here in the Devildom."

-"The Devildom...?" I repeated, asking for clarification. My voice low and fragile compared to his booming voice that echoed in the giant room when he spoke.

-"Yes, exactly, the Devildom. I see that you catch on quickly. Excellent." He said.

Is he...making fun of my intelligence?
Or is he giving me a genuine compliment?
I seriously can't tell with that big smile he's giving me...

-"I suppose that I should start by introducing myself." He continued, "My name is Diavolo. I am the ruler of all demons, and all here know of me. And someday soon, I will be crowned king of the Devildom."

I feel my eyes widen at his words.

Did he just say...demons?
Are these people demons?!
Is this another dream?!
Honestly, at this point I can't tell what's real and what's not.
Can somebody please help me out I am so confused-

I continue eagerly listening to what he is saying, choosing to stay silent and let him finish whatever crap he is throwing at me.

-"This is the Royal Academy of Diavolo...though we just call it RAD. You're sitting inside the assembly hall, the very heart of RAD. This is where the officers of the student council hold our meetings and conduct our business. I am the president of said council."

I try to digest the information he just dumped on me. Then I ask the million dollar question.

-"Why am I here?"
