*Lorianna P.O.V.*

The wind was gentle that day. I could sense seven figures standing behind me. After all I've been through, I never thought that there would be a day where I needed more protection. I stared down at the Kingdom, my back still towards them. I took a deep breath, and turned around.

"Did they sign the contract?" I asked.

Being part of the royal family for so long, I knew that to be part of the royal guards that followed the ruler everywhere, a strict and unbreakable contract needed to be signed, as evidence of their loyalty. 

They had their heads down so I could not see their faces. But I caught a glimpse of one of the boys. His face looked familiar....

"We just need a drop of your blood, your grace." the butler said.
"Yes, I know how it works." I said, annoyed.

I didn't like how it worked, I didn't like being here. I thought that by reclaiming what was mine, by seeking revenge, that I would be fulfilled. But after meeting him...I soon found out that all I was doing was worthless. I didn't care for the Kingdom, I didn't care for the people. All I wanted was to see him again.

I walked towards one of the boys.

"You all can look up now." I said.

And when they did, I finally understood why they looked so familiar. They were the seven boys in my dream. They were the ones who protected me from the explosion. I finally had a better look at them, and they all reminded me of him. One boy had his eyes, the other had his nose...It was as if Lucifer's face was broken into different parts, and that each of the seven boys possessed one of his features.

This made me excited, and I couldn't resist waiting. I quickly cut my hand, and forcefully fed my blood down their throats. To me, this was an opportunity of finally getting closer to him again. The existence of these boys proved to me that what I saw that night wasn't just a dream, that they all existed. And if these boys existed...Then he should be real as well. He should be somewhere on this world as well.

"Now you are all signed to me," I started, "You are all programmed to serve me, to do as I say, to protect me from those who are wanting to kill me."

I turn to the butler.

"Are you sure this will work?" I asked, worried that I might lose any one of them.

It took me years of waiting, or anticipation to finally be met with these boys again. I was worried that they would somehow disappear again.

"Of course." He replied.
"Good."

My eyes swept across the boys, and what caught my attention was how each of them had a tattoo on their upper arms. Having learnt basic ancient text, to outsiders it may have seen like random symbols, but those symbols were actually words.

'Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Lust', was what each tattoo read.

Having gone through what I have been, I had a hard time dealing with my original name. All it brought me was pain and suffering. I knew that I couldn't change how I was remembered in the public eye anymore, but towards these boys, I wanted to started with a new identity. 

Lorianna needed to be dead, I didn't want that name anymore. That was when I gave myself a new name:

"Hello, I'm Y/N, Princess, Y/N." I said, "You all know how this contract works right? You sign it, meaning you're now bounded to me, if I die, you all die along with me. If you disobey me, your soul shatters to pieces if I want to."

The contract forced them to obey and nod to all my orders, and so they did. 

That night, I was left alone with that butler. His dark eyes reminded me so much of Lucifer's, not just the color, but the coldness, the intensity that they possessed. I couldn't hold myself back from asking.

"Lucifer?" I asked.

The butler smirked.

"No, your grace. Lucifer is not here, he merely ordered me to bring you what you have asked for." The butler bowed.
"Would they disappear? Just like they did in that dream? Are they actually loyal?" I asked.

I was paranoid of losing those boys. My heart sank when the butler said he wasn't who I was looking for, but with these seven boys, it seemed as if I was one step closer to meeting him again.

"They have all been given a fake memory with you," the butler explained. "Each and everyone of them are in love with you. You should know more than anyone how love drives us. It makes us crazy, it forces us to fo crazy things. As long as that memory is not taken out, they will forever remain under you control."

My eyes widen. A fake memory?

"A fake memory? What do you mean?" I ask.
"I'm sure that your highness has read the words on their tattoos, these boys aren't human, they are merely products of Lucifer. They have no memory, think of them as humanized weapons." The butler explained. "To make sure they are loyal to you, each one of them have been given a special memory with you. As the two of us know, none of what they remembered has ever happened, those memories are merely there to ensure they cannot leave you."

I had never heard of such a thing, humanized weapons? The butler handed you a crystal.  

"In this crystal are the memories that each one of them has. You can enter and see for yourself whenever you have the time."

"Humanized weapons? If they're not human then...What are they?" I ask further.

The butler bows.

"As I mentioned before, your grace, they are products of Lucifer, the seven deadly sins brought onto this planet to serve you."

"They are essentially servants of Lucifer."

Is everything starting to make sense now? I see how a lot of you are still confused, so I decided to make this chapter a little longer. If you're still confused, please go back and reread the book. I believe all necessary information has been given.

If you still have any questions though (or noticed there still are things not making sense), feel free to leave your questions in the comments. I do know there are still a tiny portion of things left unexplained, but as of right now, I think it's safe to say that in the next chapter, we return into the main story line.

So sorry for this long ass flashback, but this information is needed to proceed the actual story.

Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed the chapter, and have a nice day<33
