Demon King'S Daughter(REVISION STAGE)

Chapter 14-When to go.

"are you really going now?"

Miya asked with a sad face, she did not want this day to come. The day that Kasumi is about to leave to continue their journey, Miya has yet to part with Kasumi.

Moreover, he had just healed.

Kasumi could only smile awkwardly, she did not actually want to leave now. But if he takes too long, then this trip will not end and his father may be planning something bad.

"I'm sorry, but we have to go now"

Miya had a gloomy face now, she wanted to ban them from leaving. Why is the construction of the road completed? He cursed that street-maker who knew nothing.

"Come here later, I'll wait"

He said softly, he looked at Kasumi with a sad look before hugging her.

Kasumi gasped, but she received the hug.

"Take care of yourself"

Murmuring Miya slowly, Kasumi nodded then returned Miya's embrace.

"Of course, you're also a big brother."

"don't forget to send a letter!"

"alright"

Miya smiled gently, actually she was still uncomfortable with the name of the older sister of Kasumi. However, Kasumi insisted on calling her that this morning when she woke up.

'Take care of yourself grandma'

"Are you done?"

Said Elios who suddenly appeared behind Kasumi, he had already spoken to Yula for a while. Some kind of brief farewell with an old friend, like that.

Kasumi nodded, she got into the ready horse carriage and waved her hand out, Miya did the same.

Yula who was standing beside Miya looked at Elios, she slightly waved her hand at him as well without anyone's knowledge.

"If you love her, take good care of her"

Elios said softly, he advised his friend before leaving. Yula nodded steadily, that was definitely what she would do.

After that the coachman began to make horses walk, Elios had entered the horse carriage with Kasumi. Alexis used the other horse and followed them from behind.

Kasumi's eyes looked at Elios for a moment, and she saw Elios' interaction with Yula before they left.

From their interactions, Kasumi knows that the two are not acquaintances who have just met.

They are like long-term partners, like close family.

'I'm curious about their relationship'

...*****...

The return journey continues, now entering the 20th day which means it only takes a few more days to get to the kingdom of Shuri.

before that, I had already sent a letter to the king, ah, I am not used to calling him father. Letter to say my condition here, I don't know if Elios sent another letter saying which explosion it was, but I didn't write about it in the letter.

and apparently, the king sent out some letters earlier. Elios didn't give it to me and instead gave it all at once.

Next month has entered winter, therefore the temperature in the village that we visit now also feels cooler than usual.

"Your orders sir"

Saying the waiter gave a tray of bread with meat and warm drinks, Alexis accepted it and thanked the waiter. He was quite polite, even though it was on humans. It was different with Elios.

The waiter nodded with a blushing face, it seemed like he was falling for Alexis' good looks.

She was indeed quite popular among the female demons in the kingdom, even some vampire nobles had once invited her to marry. It's in Kasumi's memory, so I know.

Alexis ignored the maidservant's gaze, directly walking to the chair at the end of the tavern.

I sat there quietly, waiting for the food Alexis had brought me, and pretending I didn't see the scene.

"Uncle, have you ever seen snow fall?"

I said spontaneously when Alexis gave her food, she started drinking warm milk first.

"really? When's that?"

I asked again with a curious face, wanting to know Elios' point of view of the snow he saw.

Elios took the hot coffee Alexis gave him, then took a sip before answering my question with his face off.

"I saw the snow of fire, during the war with the king he used to burn the enemy with his black fire, the burst of flames scattered everywhere so that it created a scene like snow"

I fell silent immediately after hearing that innocent reply, the snow Elios said was not cold at all, and it was neither the snow I was referring to nor what I was thinking.

'and well, the answer is brutal. Though the king greatly refined his words that spoke badly in front of Kasumi, but he was the opposite. Lucky Kasumi didn't hear this'

I smiled as I nodded, after hearing that answer, I thought about not continuing this question again. And if I asked Alexis about the snow, maybe she'd say the same thing, right?

'But I'm curious'

"Sir Alexis, have you seen snow?"

Alexis who was sitting on my left nodded, I was resigned to Alexis' answer but was still waiting for it.

"I've seen it, it's cold and red. But I know if the original color of snow is white"

"Why do you see red?"

Alexis was silent for a moment, he looked confused how to explain the situation back then.

"Hmm, it is said that the red fairy always dwells in the frozen forest. Because it's snow that's falling red"

"Gift!"

The plain answer from Alexis successfully made Elios hold back his laughter, it was a rare sight, I even somewhat doubt he could laugh.

I blinked my eyes a few times, guessing that the reason the snow was red meant by Alexis was not a fairy.

'That must be enemy blood'

Yep, it's enemy blood. The enemy's blood is so much that it makes red snow, even during the war as Kahill I once felt such a situation so I know.

'Alexis is better than Elios, he's made up for it to change its meaning. If I were really a kid for sure I would believe that story'

From then on my liking for Alexis grew, and for Elios diminished.

...****...

"After we finish eating we will continue our journey"

"No rest at the inn?"

"There's a shortcut to Shuri's kingdom, we can use that"

Kasumi nodded in understanding, she decided to go along with Elios' decision.

A few minutes later they finished the ritual, Elios walked in the lead and Kasumi followed next to him of course Alexis was there.

"We're going to use teleportation"

Said Elios softly while unrolling the paper that had a magic spell pattern, Kasumi looked at the paper carefully. He was surprised to see it.

"Why didn't we use teleportation from earlier?"

"Teleportation can't be used anywhere, it takes a large mana to make such teleportation magic. Only dragons could, after all, calculate the distance using these teleportation scrolls"

Elios said his face looked as flat as ever.

'Really? So why in the future is teleportation easy to use? Even we made a combination of transportation and teleportation'

If only dragons could do that, it was obvious that not many would be able to use teleportation, but in the future teleportation could be used by almost all magicians.

distance was not a problem, they only needed to know the exact coordinates to be able to teleport.

It might have been because of the times, but thinking about the ease of moving places with instant when becoming Kahill used to make Kasumi want to present teleportation in general in this day and age.

Maybe it will change things in the future, but he really wants to do it.

Kasumi, Elios and Alexis disappear in the forest. They left using the teleportation scroll that Elios had brought from the demon realm, as Kasumi opened her eyes the cold atmosphere welcoming him in the snowy forest.
