Demon King'S Daughter(REVISION STAGE)

Chapter 88 - The enemy's trap

I found myself in a dark room, it was cold and silent as if there was nothing in it and I was alone there.

In my mind came a few thoughts, but only one of them became my question now.

"Who am I?"

I keep thinking about it, who am I? Where is this? Why am I here? And a few more questions came up simultaneously.

'ah's'

I looked at a mirror that appeared in front of me, displaying the figure of a tall and somewhat handsome man standing there.

Is that me? Why do I feel nothing even when I see myself?

The man inside the mirror, he had a very ordinary strand of brown hair, his face looked rather tired with neat clothes.

"You did it, Mr. Kahill"

The voice of a young woman sounded, I turned around and saw the smiling figure of a woman.

She has the same hair color as the man in the mirror, no, should I say she looks like me?

"Who are you?"

The woman smiled beautifully, her beautiful red irises forming a crescent moon inside.

He opened his mouth and spoke in a friendly tone.

"My name is Kasumi, and I am the one who gave my life to you to prevent the destruction of the world within, thank you for giving me your time"

He slightly lowered his head in a respectful manner, I scratched the back of my head.

'he feels like he's no stranger'

I did feel like I recognized that face, but it was like something was wrong. Something, I feel something is wrong here.

'ukh!'

"Are you okay!?"

That woman, Kasumi approached me with a worried face as she saw me holding my head in pain.

I shook my head, the pain was kind of gone now.

"I'm okay, thanks for worrying about me"

Kasumi let out a sigh of relief, her worry was truly sincere but simultaneously I felt the falsehood of her every utterance.

'is he my enemy in disguise?'

Thought me for a second.

Some memories started to appear in my mind.

I found out who the man in the mirror was, he was Kill Zaflan Ezar, an ordinary young Duke and lived in the western middle world.

And also, it's me.

"Please explain to me about you giving me your time, my memory's messed up right now"

In the end I asked Kasumi, although I still suspected her but asking her might not be a bad thing.

Kasumi helped me to stand up, my balance was a bit chaotic due to the pain in my head and the sudden memory I remembered.

"Your intentions must have been messed up by the transfer of body, actually now you're dead because our deal is done. And I'm here to deliver you to the reincarnation cycle."

"Deal is done? So, I've saved the world inside? What the hell am I doing?"

"You defeated Zion, she is a disaster that came about because of my birth. You managed to defeat him, so now is the time for you to reincarnate as you wish"

Kasumi finished explaining the situation, I was silent for a moment while sifting through what she said.

'it was clear, and everything was also in line with what I remembered. But, why does it feel like something is awkward here?'

Even though he had already explained everything according to what I knew, but I still felt that there was something lacking from that explanation.

But I don't know what.

"What about king Cendric?"

Kasumi blinked her eyes a few times.

"What?"

I folded my hands together, then looked at her straight.

'i have to find out what it is'

This awkward feeling bothered me, so I had to find out if this 'Kasumi' was telling the truth or not.

"What about king Cendric? In my last memory, I saw king Cendric, no, I mean dad was looking at me worried while trying to kill something, did you manage to kill that thing? And what happened after that?"

"Dad, he died with lord Julius. When you beat Zion, the person you tried to kill was the one who stabbed you in the back, you died because of that."

Pimicking his face looked really sad and regretful, he continued his words again.

"So, I will give you a good Reincarnation because of your struggle. Do you want it? Live well and have a family"

I was silent for a moment when he asked me, his behavior was not suspicious and it was all very natural. If there was no mistake, I might believe him and follow his every word.

But, he made a fatal mistake earlier so that I could even notice it.

'He's fake.'

I don't know what a fake is yet, but the conviction I have is that he's not a 'kasumi' and I can't believe anything he says.

"How about Mr Kahill? You don't have much time, I'll drop you off soon"

"All right, I'll come"

He smiled happily, then nodded.

"Good, I'll take you now"

Kasumi stretched out her hand, I stared at that hand for a moment then accepted it.

"But you have to die here"

I said then, while looking at Kasumi with a cold look.

Kasumi flinched then a blinding light appeared in our midst, a woman came out of my body. He slaps Kasumi in the face and pushes her down.

"Kasumi!? Are you okay!?"

I blinked my eyes as I looked at the unfamiliar face that was staring at me worriedly while grasping my hand tightly, it even shook at that moment.

"A. I'm fine"

Just then my heavy voice turned soft and loud typical of teenage girls voice, it seemed like my body had returned as well as my memories.

He smiled, a smile of gratitude accompanied by tears.

'i don't know him, but why does he look like me?'

Moreover, her long hair was brown, and her cool gaze made me think of the figure of a mother.

'wait, it's impossible, right?'

I tried to dismiss the impossible thoughts, but all the evidence matched the figure of the mother in memory.

To make sure of that, I spoke to the woman in front of me.

"Mother?"

My words were short, the woman nodded while holding both of my cheeks gently. He was still crying and looking at me gratefully, that longing look was clearly visible in his blue eyeballs just like grandfather's.

"Yes, I'm your mother. Oh Kasumi, thank goodness mom came down to help you, I wouldn't accept having to meet you so soon. You should live longer and accompany your father well!"

I just laughed a little, mother's advice that worrying me dying fast was really touching.

I nodded, after all I did not have the desire to die quickly.

"And you"

Mother turned to look at the woman who claimed to be Kasumi, she looked at mother furiously while still lying down.

It seemed like the mother was holding him in that position, there was a magic circle under the woman's feet and the one who did it was the mother.

"You're the cause Kasumi's destiny hasn't changed, Zion has an unexpected ally. Aren't you ashamed of your master for doing this to Kasumi? What would your master do if he knew this?"

I fell silent while listening to the conversation, to be honest I did not understand what you meant.

But I can conclude something. The woman who disguised herself as the real Kasumi I met the first time, she betrayed her master and injured me also cooperating with Zion.

I don't know who the master is, but from mother's words it seems like he's a good man.

The woman smiled almost grinning, she started talking after being silent for quite a while.

"I will never betray my master, and what I am doing now is for his own good. Even though she doesn't have the woman's soul, I still have to kill her"

Mother's face looked very upset at the woman's words.

The woman tried to stand up, then the magic circle under her feet cracked and shattered.

Now that his face is no longer transformed into Kasumi, he wears a mask that covers the top of his face and wears a red robe.

I know that red robe and that face.

"You're the one who tried to kill me"
