(2 weeks later)
It has been two weeks since I went to the school. Mom and Dad were quite busy finishing up the paperwork and all the school supplies I'm going to need.
Funnily enough, I'm going to the same class as Charlie. It's a mixed class where nobles and normal demons can study together and not be affected by status.
Charlie, unsurprisingly, was quite excited to find out that I was in her class and asked a servant to make us matching sweaters.
Of course, I accepted the gift, seeing as normal clothes don't seem to fit my body. So, to make sure I wasn't walking around naked all the time, she ordered multiple types of ponchos to be made.
My original poncho was currently in my room. Mom wanted me to throw it out because of how dirty it was, but I explained it was a gift from a friend, and after a few minutes of convincing, she had a servant frame it up in my room.
Now for my room—it wasn't as big as Mom and Dad's room, but I didn't really need a large room.
The best part of my new room is that I now have my own personal garden. I don't really need to grow any fruits or vegetables, seeing as everything I would ever need is here.
But I did want to grow something, so looking around the castle, I checked for different plants I could take and plant in my garden.
It took me a few days to find the perfect plant, but thanks to the help of the White Lady while I was asleep, I was able to plant this beautiful white flower.
After I had planted it, the surrounding area and my room began to slowly turn white, but I didn't really care—it looked beautiful.
Mom seemed to agree. She would always come and visit my room whenever she needed new flower decorations, and I didn't mind her taking some.
But back to the matter at hand—Charlie and I were currently inside the royal carriage that was being dragged by horses that were on fire.
They seemed tame enough, but whenever they would see something in front of them that was smaller or just in the way, they would run it over without question and even circle back to stomp on it.
Charlie didn't seem to notice this since she was too busy drawing doodles of me and her on a piece of paper.
Once we reached our destination and stepped out, we were now in front of the entrance, and Charlie, holding my hand, walked by my side.
We walked towards the gates, and two demons that looked like gatekeepers asked us to surrender any weaponry we might have.
"Please surrender any weapon you may or may not have. Your weapons will be returned once you leave, and murder on the school grounds is strictly prohibited. You may continue your murder plans once you leave the school grounds," the guard said with a deadpan look.
I grabbed my nail and handed it to the guard, and Charlie grabbed a small knife from her backpack and handed it to him as well.
The guard then inspected the weapons before opening the gate and letting us pass.
As we walked, multiple demons were staring at us, curious about who I was.
I didn't know why they were curious—they probably already knew I was adopted since Dad...

(Flashback)
"I adopted a son, everyone! Come to the castle this Saturday for his birthday!" Lucifer said while flying around the city, shooting fireworks that said I HAVE A SON!
(Flashback end)

I don't know why he had to announce it to all of Hell, but as long as it makes him happy.
Charlie and I continued to walk before we finally reached our class.
Opening the door, I immediately saw different types of demons—from the usual bird demons, where I found out they're called Goetia, to the dog demons, Hellhounds, Imps, shark demons, and even Incubi and Succubi.
Once I shut the door closed, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at us. Charlie gave a wave, and I just stood there staring at them.
"So that's the new kid… lucky, he got adopted by Lucifer."
"I know, imagine having Lilith as your mom—lucky bastard," they whispered to each other.
Charlie grabbed me excitedly by my horn and carried me over to her desk, where she had another spot open for me to sit.
Once she placed me down, I took a seat, and not long after, the principal himself came through the door.
Everyone was silent; no one talked. As the principal reached his desk, he spoke.
"Greetings, students. I know it may come as a shock as to why I'm here, but rest assured, I am more than capable of teaching this class. If you have any questions, please say them now, because after that we will be introducing a new student joining us today," Principal Raum said to everyone.
A student raised her hand and spoke.
"Uh, sir, what happened to Professor Marbas?" an Imp girl asked.
"Professor Marbas is currently applying for a higher position as of now. Information about this subject is still confidential."
Another demon raised his hand.
"Sir, will there be any changes to the schedule?" a Goetic asked.
"No, your classes will not be affected and will proceed as normal. Any more questions?"
No one raised their hands.
"Very well. Now, first order of business: we have a new student joining us today, and he is part of the royal family, so treat him with respect. Understand? Please, would you like to introduce yourself?" he said, looking towards me.
I got up from my chair and walked over to him. Once I reached the front, I turned to look at everyone.
They were all staring at me and waiting patiently for me to speak. I studied their features and noticed something quite shocking.
Everyone looked much older than me and Charlie. They all looked like teenagers from my observation, but they didn't seem weirded out that Charlie and I were actual kids.
"Ahem." Raum coughed, grabbing my attention.
I composed myself, and opening my mouth, I spoke.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Stygian Morningstar. I'm 45 years old, and I hope we all get along," I said, my voice deep and quite terrifying.
Silence.
Then, suddenly, almost half the students began bombarding me with questions.
"What demon are you?"
"Why is your voice like that?"
"Are you gay?"
"Have you seen my balls?"
Oh boy, this was going to take a while.
