Demon King'S Daughter(REVISION STAGE)

Chapter 22 - Return to the Kingdom.

Time passed quickly like running water, now I have reached the kingdom of Cyrent.

King, no, I mean dad, he was looking forward to my return until when I got back he greeted me with great fanfare.

All sorts of food were served on the table, this was even more than usual. Father also postponed some meetings with other nobles just to attend and eat with me, after one month we did not meet.

"How was your trip? Does smoothly?"

Said the father asking, he looked at me who was eating steak. The first food I ate was that, understandably other food I did not recognize so tasted it rather how it is.

I nodded briefly.

"Yes dad, it's smooth and exciting. I thank Uncle Elios and Sir Alexis"

Dad's eyebrows twitched a little, he was still looking at me but his gaze was now a look of wonder.

"Uncle?"

His speech was short, with his face suddenly flat. Why is dad that? I answered back, this time I looked at my father's face as well.

"Yes, prime minister Elios said if I could call him anything, that's why I called him uncle"

I explained about the reason I called Uncle Elios, the father fell silent then gave a brief nod. Is the problem done?

'Oh, right. I forgot if Elios likes Kasumi's mother, it means he likes the king's wife. Is their relationship not good and not friendship? Maybe, an enemy in a blanket or a rival?'

I can say clearly if I call Elios uncle, if the relationship between father and Elios is not good it is only natural that he does not like me to call him that, just like I said if our relationship is good.

'but we're fine'

If putting aside his annoying attitude, then we're fine.

"Is that all that's going on?"

Dad asked again, I nodded in response.

He let out a short sigh, it was rare for father to show such a face.

'Wait, is there really no more?'

I recalled all the events I experienced while on the trip, on average everything I had said in the letter I sent two weeks ago.

But, there's one incident I didn't write down there. And, I think this is what made you keep asking me questions from before.

Father placed the fork on the plate causing the sound of the impact of the plate and the fork to be heard, the atmosphere in the dining room was quiet because only we were there.

Is dad angry?

"You didn't tell me everything, I know it"

His words sounded so serious as if he was talking about the country, I looked at my father straight before saying something I didn't say.

"I fainted at the time"

"Because?"

"Fatigue?"

Dad looked back at me with a flat face, a look that said he didn't believe it.

'ukh'

I know if you know it, if you keep looking at it with that kind of look I can't dodge it either.

"I fainted because of the clash of mana"

I said slowly, a little whispering hoping dad didn't hear that. But he was the king of the demon kingdom, so his hearing was so good that he could hear my very small words.

He sighed again, this time his expression was softer than before. He looked at me with a smile, a suspicious smile.

'i have a bad feeling'

And that's true.

"From now on father will not allow you to go out of the territory, you will live in the royal palace with father"

At my father's words, I was stunned in disbelief.

...*****...

"But dad! I don't want to"

Kasumi again argues with her father, she is not satisfied with the unilateral decision of Cendric.

Cendric just remained silent, he did not have the intention to argue with Kasumi and just continued to continue his meal.

Kasumi pouted, she knew her father must be focusing on her and not on what kind of food Kasumi was looking at, she spoke again in an increasingly suppressed tone.

"Dad, I don't want to stay forever in the palace! My body is healthy now, and I won't experience anything bad like that anymore"

Finally Cendric retorted, he looked at his daughter's passionate eyes. Kasumi nodded confidently.

"Yes, I can"

Cendric breathed a long breath, and he eventually collapsed as well.

"Well father will not do that, but if you are in danger once away from father then the punishment is to stay in the king's palace forever, also can't get out of the palace for more than two hours understand?"

Kasumi nodded, the new punishment more frightening than the previous one. But he was not worried, Kasumi was sure which bad events such as clashes would not happen to him again.

And DON'T LET IT HAPPEN.

"Okay, thanks dad"

The meal together was over, Kasumi went straight into her room as soon as she was done there. Similarly, Cendric who immediately went to do his job, Black had picked him up worried if Cendric would even take a day off and invite Kasumi to play, but fortunately that did not happen.

Brugh!

Kasumi laid her body on a soft mattress, for a long time she did not feel the soft texture of her mattress.

'the best house'

As Kasumi was enjoying the peace she finally got, someone knocked on the door from outside.

Tok to tok.

Kasumi woke up, her eyes staring at the door for a moment.

"Come in"

Briefly, a female servant, Rin entered while carrying a box containing many letters.

Seeing the pile of letters alone had made Kasumi limp, it felt like she wanted to ignore all that.

'and why so much today?'

That's what makes him curious.

"This is a letter to your daughter, some from a family of followers and some from outside the palace"

Rin explained briefly, Kasumi let out a long sigh.

"Put it there, after that you can go"

He said while pointing at the table next to Kasumi's mattress, Rin nodded her head and then placed the box on the table and left Kasumi according to what Kasumi said.

Kasumi's red eyes stared at the letter with an uninterested look, she was really lazy to read all the letters.

The contents must be the same, classic babbling and foul pleasantries. Kasumi knows that.

"It is impossible that among this pile of letters there is someone who discusses politics or royal matters,"

Even so this is his duty as Kasumi, he must reply to letters one by one to build relationships with the followers of the Cyrent kingdom who will support him in the future.

Kasumi takes just any letter that is there, but her eyes are stopped in one letter that has a familiar family stamp. He recognized the family stamp, then decided to read it first before another letter.

"It's from Irene"

She muttered softly, followed by a sweet smile from her beautiful face. Kasumi read the letter from Irene happily while sitting on her bed, the first letter from her best friend in the world.

[For Kasumi's dear daughter.

We can send a letter now, I know our meeting happened not long ago but I feel like I've missed you, so to treat this longing I hope you will send me a letter from now on according to our promise.

Tell me anything, about the weather in the demon realm, about the problems you're experiencing or even the color of the birds that alight in the morning, anyway I wait for every little story from you. I will do the same because that is how my best friend should be, I hope this letter reaches you and you read it with pleasure.

Next time you visit again, I will take you around in the eastern sacred forest. Dad would've allowed it if I said you were my best friend, so hurry up and play here again.

Full of love from your best friend

Irene Von ignate]

A happy smile never goes out of Kasumi's face, she likes to read a letter from Irene who says she misses him.

In a hurry, Kasumi brought the letter to the table, she picked up a pen and paper then started writing a reply letter to Irene, who was, he had to quickly write it down and send it to get a reply.

After she finished writing, Kasumi brought another letter to the table for her to read. As he expected, the average content of the letter was the same.

Someone asked the news, there was a party invitation letter there was also a saying words of hatred.

'Are they not afraid of the law? Kasumi is the king's daughter'

He scrunched his forehead for the letter containing the maki scorn, but ignored it.

Letter after letter he had already read and only one letter was left now.

"About who it is from"
