The Garden 1 - Easily get lost

Diviya rolls her eyes at his reaction. Again she is a virgin but not a prude. She knows from her Rom Coms of having breakfast together after a night of pleasure and she certainly was not suggesting that, "Would you calm down?" she rolls her eyes at him and scoffs.

"Get your mind out the gutter, it's just that I have a lot of breakfast left over from this morning and I don't want them to go to waste. I believe it has enough for the both of us."

Diviya would be happy to eat by herself and any that remained munch on it throughout the night. But nothing is wrong with a little company from Michael for a meal.

She had decided to welcome Michael's company a bit longer. Plus she knows she can trust him to be around as well.

He was doing a great job of keeping himself under control. She figured he must have sated his hunger before he came to see her today.

In the end Diviya thought of her day and thought it to be a good day, she got to tour the Castle and learn more about the 'different kind'.

Learning of the different wings of this castle and the different types of rooms and the different apartments as well. Diviya was amazed of it all.

There were the sitting room, the powder room, waiting room, apartments, cellar, ball rooms, dining areas, kitchens and so much more.

There were about five waiting rooms and they were all designed in different themes.

Of course extensive background checks were done for anyone entering the castle. Surely they would have inside information on someone's likes and dislikes, Diviya had randomly thought at the time. And maybe that bit of info was used to appease their guess and have them placed in rooms strategically.

She was in management she thought that is one of the ways she would use her intel especially if it's with someone she was trying to impress and seal some deal of sorts.

The castle was very modern, the Demon King's wing was proof enough to know the designs weren't old and medieval looking.

All the different rooms were polished to perfection in sumptuous décor.

The apartments as well were themed differently but just as exquisite as the next.

The cellar was huge with just the right temperature and it was dark. The lights were really dim. Chillers lined one wall, barrel drums lined another, full of either wine or beer.

Rows with shelves of wine coming a few rows off of the next wall.

A long table in the middle, looks like a huge tree trunk, almost the length of a car acting as the feet of this table. With some tree stumps for chairs.

Trays of wine glasses and small shot sized glasses were atop the table. There were more glasses of all styles in a storage room.

Diviya and Michael had shared a glass of wine, but she tasted a few others as well in one of the shot sized glass.

Tasting the different flavors and textures. She licks her lips at the memory.

She did feel a bit nice. Not drunk but a nice cool head afterward.

The kitchen was huge and the pantry? Diviya's eyes had bugled, it was the first time she saw anything like it, soooooo much food and snacks and everything.

Just everything!

Something like cereal or potato chips, was in sooooo many different options, it was ALOT.

Then she recalls the balconies, there were a lot. Some considered an area to have a small tea party Michael had explained.

The the doors of the Grand entrance is ginormous. Walking a ways in, the marble floors were in a unique abstract. A picturesque staircase, just beautifully structured.

And there were two of them, one to the far left and one to the far right.

The décor was white and rich gold with a splash of royal purple in between.

A perfectly crafted concrete structure curved nicely for rails.

The stairs connects to the first floor. With a long corridor heading left and one right. Then there was the corridor if you take a step to the left when you come up the stairs on the left or a step to the right coming up on the right stairs, there is a long path right in front of you veering off in different areas and more rooms.

Elevators on either side of the stair cases. And coming up the elevator the doors opens up to facing the long corridor.

So you can either go straight, left or right.

There was a ball room on the ground floor and one on the top floor. This castle was a total of four floors.

Then there was the great hall. Long tables lined, running from one end to the next, chairs ran alongside them on either side.

Another huge dining area but more of an intimate setting.

There were also so many restrooms in this castle.

Toilet, bidet and bath then some, just toilet and bidet only.

This place was huge Diviya had thought, one can easily get lost in here. She don't doubt that for a second.

Nevertheless Diviya just absorbed it up, committing as much as she could to memory as she was trying to live in the moment.

But it really was just too much to remember, she also believed that no one will be able to remember all the different rooms and the different twist and turns on their first try anyway.

So she did not worry too much about it.

Diviya had seen the employees moving around here and there completing whatever task at hand.

They even interrupted a few when they entered a room where one was either busy cleaning or packing away something or the other, depending on the room they ventured in.

She of course was polite and full of mannerisms. But that did not stop the staring or glaring from some.

Diviya did get a lot of attention, some of the staff stared at her and ogled her. Both male and female staff members, old and young.

She turned heads everywhere she walked and of course there were some that looked their noses down at her and glared.

Some scrunching their nose as well as if they smelled something that wasn't so pleasant.

Diviya didn't let that bother her one bit, she knew that everyone will not be welcoming.

She was expecting that some might have questions running through their minds.

While others glared with suspicion.

Diviya did not cower, she held her head high through out even though she was a nervous wreck.

But she tried her hardest to hide it and be as composed as ever, cool as cucumber.

All the while Michael was giving Diviya her tour they chatted away, of course he gave her details about the different rooms he took her in and so much more.

Michael even spoke about a council.

Made up of two representatives from each 'kind', like two wolfs, two vampires, two faeries, two witches, two dragons and so on.

Also it's run by the Demon King.

Where the dragons and witches were concerned there was only one Dragon and two witches alive.

Their kind were near extinction.

Diviya had no idea about the witches, heck a day ago she had no idea about Dracul either.

There were a total of twenty four council members including the Demon King.

The Vampire King was one of the council members representing Vampires with his second in command. However he was also a part of the council in the capacity of first in command after the Demon King.

The council vote on every decision, however the Demon King always has the final say.

Where as sometimes if something came to a vote and it didn't rake in the number of votes needed to be considered the winning vote and the Demon King do agree with that decision-the one with the lowest votes.

He can simply decide then and there that even though the decision did not get the popular vote they will all move forward with it in the end anyway.

Michael also shared that he is actually from France, vampires are based in France, France is their home. Their origin.

The Moon Goddess had strategically planted her creations "those considered her children" in different parts of the earth.

The faeries are from Greenland, however he said most of them fled to France.

Diviya also filled Michael in on all the suspicions of herself as well as the things she can confirm.

Like in a few days time when this dye completely washes off, her natural hair color will be revealed. Plus she told him about her unique eyes.

If you look closely it looks like a water fall. An Amazon green bright beautiful waterfall.

She then told him if anything she learned from online were to be believed she was part faerie.

Then they went over what she did and how she felt in the moment when she defended herself against the werewolf who tried to attack her.
