My name is Iveri and I am 20 years old. My village is always threatened by demons. 200 years ago, the village chief made a deal with one of them. In exchange for a woman, whom he can keep as a slave in the demon realm, the village is protected from any demonic attack. This demon is called Agrirnaxir.
However, Agrirnaxir requires a woman every 20 years. The next sacrifice is tomorrow and no one wants to volunteer. Usually the "chosen one" is chosen by draw, but this year will be different, as I volunteer to be the sacrifice. The villagers are shocked. No one has ever volunteered before. My parents are trying to get me to change my mind, but I won't give in.
"Iveri, my daughter, I can't leave you at Agrirnaxir’s mercy! I will take your place."
No. Mom can't do that. I volunteered, it is up to me to offer myself to the demon. Despite my mother's pleas, tomorrow at sunrise I will go to the cave where the demon Agrirnaxir is to be summoned to take his "tribute".
After performing the ritual, which consists of drawing a circle with a strange red powder, placing myself inside and reciting an incantation in the demon language, Agrirnaxir appears. I expected to see a being with a threatening look, dark skin and horns, but Agrirnaxir is beautiful. Light skin, amber eyes, brown hair, no horns, but he has evil wings. He takes his time to look at me, without saying anything.
"So? You won't choose me as your sacrifice?"
He laughed softly.
"No. Of course I'll take you to the demon realm, but first we must have sex."
"WHAT?"
"This is part of a ritual to bind you to me, as your future master. Don't worry. I'm going to be very kind. All the previous sacrifices loved it!"
That's what he says. I was ready to sacrifice myself for my village, but am I ready to have sex with a demon? Of course I'm ready. I leave the circle. I lie down and tell Agrirnaxir to come and "take" me. He smiles.
Agrirnaxir undresses me and makes love to me. My body receives a wave of pleasure and a symbol appears on my chest. I touch it and it hurts.
"Good. Very good~ ♫. Now you are bound to me. Did you enjoy it?"
I whispered "yes" to him. I've slept with many men before, I still remember Marley, but that was the best sex ever! Agrirnaxir gives me back my clothes and I get dressed.
"It's time for us to leave."
Agrirnaxir opens a fire portal and orders me to take it. The symbol on my chest glows and forces me to obey him. I pass through the portal and find myself in the demon realm. A volcanic and dark place. Lanterns light a path that leads to a small town and a castle.
We start walking and Agrirnaxir takes me to his home, a luxurious residence. He explains to me that my role from now on will be to be his slave... maid.
"A slave maid?"
"Yes, I have, how shall I say, a fascination with maids. The uniform. The appron!!!"
"O...k... so I cook and clean for you?"
"Yes ~ ♫. And you could also do other things for me at night. If... If you want, of course."
Great. I suck at cooking. Still, from that day on, I live as a slave maid in the demon kingdom. I haven't seen the previous sacrifices, the other women. I wonder what happened to them. Did Agrirnaxir kill them after 20 years to keep only one maid at a time? No, I don't have to worry. When the time comes, if my life is in danger, I will find a way to survive. Fortunately for me, Agrirnaxir is a patient master. He doesn't get angry when I fail his meals, but I better get better and fast. Sometimes I think about Marley. I don't know why.
