The Way of a Demon Lord

Chapter 41: Isabella’s First Deal? *

*Click* The door closed.

Isabella removed the cloth covering her face. The fragrance of what seemed like a dozen different breeds of flowers- both wild and cultivated- hit her nostrils. Even a village girl like her could only distinguish three out of them.

*Sniff* But she couldn’t lose to some flowers, could she?

“Watch out, girl! I am experimenting with poisons; death might not be the worst case scenario.” She hurriedly covered her nose and looked towards the one who spoke.

It was none other than instructor Alesha- the one who gave her a bizarre test during the examinations more than a year ago. She still did not forget that she got the lowest marks in that exact test. But she did not come here for revenge; that was not even remotely close.

Instructor Alesha was one of the most beautiful and popular female instructors of the Academy. She had hazel eyes unlike most of the continent inhabitants. Her black hair was smooth as it could be. But what made her stand out the most was her body; her hourglass figure made her extremely popular amongst the boys. Now that she was at home and wearing a nightgown, she looked even sexier.

“I am here for-“

“The ‘products’, right? Follow me.” The instructor beckoned as she walked deeper into her apartment.

Isabella complied. She followed the potioneer to the deepest room. The room was relatively larger than ordinary rooms. Lamps fixed on the walls kept the room bright and warm. The room felt somewhat familiar to her.

There was a huge cauldron on the centre of the room. A lavender liquid was boiling; bubbles rose and burst on the surface, causing a burbling sound to reach her ears. The scent- it was the same one she sensed when she entered the dorm- that of a dozen different types of flowers melded together.

There room was filled with shelves. And each of the shelves were filled with different types of articles. One of the shelves was stacked with books; one row had twelve heavy books of the same series titled ‘Recipe Archive 1’ to ‘Recipe Archive 12’. Glass apparatus filled another of the shelves, herbs and flowers occupied another.

There was one shelf which contained only bizarre things. There were insects and organs of different animals. But the most bizarre one was the eyeball preserved in a liquid filled jar. Isabella was sure it belonged to a human.

She realised why the room felt so familiar. It was because this was a potioneering lab- just like the one at Fredrick House.

“The thing you are looking for is not here.” The instructor giggled. She began to walk towards the bookshelf.

She took out ‘Recipe Archive 3’ and opened page 125. There was a magic circle drawn there. She touched it and inserted a bit of her magical energy.

*Whoosh* A portion of empty wall of the room turned transparent. There was a shelf inside. There were a few potions arranged inside.

“Come here.” She beckoned Isabella as she moved towards the hidden shelf.

Isabella did not dally; she moved to the shelf in no time.

The instructor opened the sliding glass doors. She brought out the first potion. It was orange in colour.

“Here, this is a ‘hair enhancement potion’. Apply a little on your hair once a week and they will become thicker, smoother and stronger. It will also provide a great fragrance. The effects are instant.”

Isabella took the glass apparatus and examined it. She took out the cork and smelled it. She could only distinguish the smell of wild honey from it. She pushed cork back in again before putting the potion into the bag she brought.

Instructor Alesha brought out another one. This time, it was white and it seemed a bit more thicker.

“This is a skin care potion. Apply it to your skin everyday after bath. Your skin will get smoother and fairer. You will also lose marks, if you have any.”

Isabella inspected it. She sniffed it and detected the smell of milk. She kept it in her bag.

The potioneer took out another one, it was the same colour as that of the burbling liquid in the cauldron- lavender.

“This is one of my greatest creations- the lavender perfume. Just put a few drops on your clothes and it will drive all the boys crazy. Use them only during special occasions. The ingredients are pretty rare.”

Isabella took it and squinted. She looked at the boiling cauldron.

The senior instructor laughed. “Don’t worry little girl. The same colour doesn’t mean it is the same potion. The deadly acid potion and the life saving healing potion- both of them are of the colour green; additionally, both of them are scentless. But their effects are the complete opposite of each other.”

“Oooooh” Isabella took out the cork of the glass container. A charming floral fragrance overwhelmed her. The whole new fragrance harvested from the mixture of some of the most fragrant flowers out there almost had her in ecstasy.

“You are looking drunk, little girl.” She heard a chuckle.

She hurriedly closed the apparatus and blushed.

Instructor Alesha did not mind as she began to slide the glass door close.

“What are those?” Isabella pointed at the hazel and dark potions remaining in the shelf.

“Oh, they are eye transforming potions. They change the colour of your eyes to either black or hazel. The duration depends on the amount taken.”

“Can I take the black one?”

“Tsk. Why does everyone want the black one?” The instructor gave it to her.

“Thank you.” Isabella sniffed the potion and squinted. “Why is it scentless? What is it made of?”

“Trust me. You don’t want to know.”

Isabella suddenly thought of something and shuddered. But she put it in the bag nevertheless.

The potioneer closed the door and put her palm on the glass. Moments later, the glass turned into wall again.

“Follow me. I will show you something.” She left the room. Isabella followed.

Moments later, they were in what it seemed like her bedroom.

There was a safe beside the bed. She put her palm on the door and began to emit magical energy. She was drawing a whole magic circle- fast. In no time, the intricate circle was complete.

*Click* The safe opened.

Inside, there was a crimson potion contained by an apparatus which looked premium because of the golden hue it emitted.

She carefully took it out.

“This is my greatest masterpiece. You can say that this made me what I am today.” She said proudly.

“What is it?”

“This body.” She pointed at her own body with one hand. “This is the result of this potion.”

“WHAT?!” Isabella’s mouth opened agape- wide enough to put in a couple of eggs. Her eyes almost popped out of her sockets. That stunning body was developed through a potion?

“Take it.”

“But… but…”

“What? You don’t need it? Okay then.”

Isabella looked at her own plain body. She hurriedly stepped forward.

“No. No. I need it. I absolutely need it.”

The instructor giggled. She brought forth her hand that held the potion.

Isabella snatched it and kept in the bag, not bothering to examine it.

The instructor could only shake her head. “Mix a drop of the potion with healing potion and drink every week. Take more than that and it would only be a waste. It will take a year or two for the effects to show; so, be patient. And beware, this potion comes with a side effect; it will mess up your menstrual cycle and worsen the pain.”

She committed everything to her brain. As a demon, she knew more than most- the value of sacrifice.

“But, why me? I never heard of this potion from Tristy.”

Instructor Alesha sat on the bed and sighed. “Because you somewhat remind me of my past self.”

Isabella squinted.

“You like that boy Adrian, don’t you?”

She blushed.

“Did you sleep with him?”

“Yes, everyday.” She coughed.

“Hmm. Have you had sex with him?”

“Ye… yes. Of course. Definitely.” She looked around.

“You sleep in the same room and you still couldn’t hook him. I take my previous statement back. You are worse than me.” Alesha was trying to hold back her laugh.

Isabella looked down and covered her face.

“Don’t worry little girl, you at least have a chance; while I have none.” Isabella heard her sigh.

“I also had a crush on a guy back in my academy days. Even aloof noble girls ran after him even though he was a commoner- an orphan at that. And there I was- an average and plain nerd. Heck! Even he was more beautiful than me.” She hit the bed with her palm.

“Average? Plain? But you are beautiful.”

“Why do you think I developed those ‘beauty products’?” She smiled wryly.

“Oh.”

“But was it of any use? Two decades passed by. I came to be known as the beautiful instructor Alesha. And him? He became stronger and cooler, and the women chasing after him amplified. But these years, I did not even get a look from him- let alone a smile.” She looked up and sighed.

She continued, “Little girl. I can only wish you all the best. That boy Adrian- he already surpasses the Rodric of back then and he will completely surpass him in no time. I can just wish you all the best. Don’t stay a virgin like me. Enjoy your youth.” She smiled at Isabella.

Isabella did not know what to say. She decided to change the topic.

“These potions… the price?” She brought forth the bag.

Alesha laughed. “Little girl, do you think I am doing this for money? If we potioneers lack anything- that would be ingredients and time. I just want to give girls like me a chance at their dreams.”

“But young master said nothing in the world comes for free.” Isabella began to think.

“He is not-“

“Idea. Let’s take these potions as sacrifice. I will serve you.” She put the bag on the ground.

‘Sacrifice? Serve?’ Alesha squinted.

Before she could decide what to reply, Isabella approached her and loosened her cincture. The robe opened wide, exposing her smooth and fair body. She was not wearing anything underneath.

“WHAT?!” She was taken aback.

But she composed herself and tried to resist. But alas, Isabella had already knelt down and pushed open her legs- revealing her vulva.

“Sto-”

She lost all strength and shuddered when Isabella gave her pussy a sensual lick.

“Mmh” She could hardly believe that such a taboo action made her moan.

“I knew you would like it.” Isabella said before licking her clit and rubbing her pussy lips with fingers.

“Mmh… who said I liked it?”

“Your face.” Isabella answered before inserting her tongue through her cave.

“Aaaah…” Alesha clasped her bedsheets as she arched her back.

“Where… where did you learn… this?”

“Someone did this to me before. I liked it.” Isabella keeled licking her insides, digging the tongue as deep as possible.

“Mmh… little girl… I underestimated you.” She enjoyed the feeling.

*Squirt*

Seconds later, she orgasmed.

“So, do we have ourselves a deal?” Isabella stood up and reached out her hand, two of her fingers wet.

Instructor Alesha thought for a second before, “Deal.”
