petty demon
part 15's
"This is my room?" Alexis looked at every corner of the room.
A large bed with red sheets. Pillows and blankets are arranged in such a way that they look neat. On the back of the bed there are beautiful sizes, each side there is a pole with mosquito nets neatly tied in each pole. Some paintings adorn the walls of the rooms, large windows with transparent white curtains. A fireplace with a seat in front of it. In the middle of the room there is a set of tables and chairs under which there is a beautiful carpet in red.
"I want my old room." Alexis glanced at Aiden.
"But unfortunately, the Eastern castle is currently only for Prince Rhodri." Aiden looked at Alexis doubtfully.
"I don't like it, if anyone takes mine. Howen, let's get my room back!" Alexis looked at Howen.
"Just relax your room is closed by His Majesty Devian. So, Mr. Rhodri can't use it." Aiden tries to prevent Alexis from going to the Eastern castle.
"Is it so dangerous there? take it easy I can face them all." Alexis looks confident.
"His Majesty Devian, restricts the interaction between the royal government and the prince of Rhodri. Right now, His Highness Devian is investigating and gathering evidence of Rhodri's involvement with the chaos in the palace." Obviously Aiden.
"Why did you tell your kingdom's problems to another royal envoy. You should have said from earlier that the Eastern castle was off limits to the royal guests." Alexis stepped into the chair and laid her body there. "You can go, I'll take a break before dinner."
Aiden took a long breath. "All right, I'm sorry. If, there's something you need... "
"I see, I'll call you soon." Alexis immediately cut Aiden's sentence.
Aiden immediately came out of Alexis' room. "Why is it that when he's grown up he's getting so annoying." Gumam Aiden.
"Howen!" Alexis looked at Howen who was standing nearby. "Find out where I can get the devil's apple. I want to get a report as soon as possible."
Howen bowed respectfully and not for how long he disappeared. For a moment Alexis fell silent at the thought of what Aiden had just said. "It looks like things got a little messed up after I left." Alexis Mumbled.
The day passed quickly, the sun was now replaced by the moon. The night sky looks darker as the gray clouds begin to block the moonlight.
Tak... Tuk.. Tak... Tuk...
The sound of footsteps broke the silence along the corridors of the castle. Alexis is seen walking casually down the long corridor of the castle, both hands are put into his pants pocket. His footsteps came to a halt at the large door of the dinner banquet hall.
The guards opened the door for Alexis as soon as she got to the front door. He casually stepped in, and Devian and Rhodri were seen there.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, you've been waiting for me." Alexis soon joined them.
Some waiters immediately poured the drink into Alexis's glass and gave her a plate filled with appetizers.
"How has your kingdom progressed?" Devian asked Alexis.
"Pretty good, Malbork was able to get through the crisis in just 2 years under my leadership." Alexis answered casually. "It is not easy for a 17-year-old to govern a country. But, I enjoyed it." Alexis put food in her mouth.
"That's great! I hope this partnership goes well. If Malbork needs help from my kingdom you'll just say it." Devian looked at Alexis.

"I can handle all my own problems." Alexis lowered her head for a moment. "Then, what about her?" Alexis looked at Rhodri.
"What do you mean?" Rhodri was confused.
"Nothing, just wondering what you've done to this kingdom that you feel so powerful?"
"I am just following every rule and order of the King to make this kingdom a better place." Answer Rhodri.
"Does that include blocking the royal envoy in the middle of the road?" Alexis showed off her smirk.
Rhodri looked at Alexis sharply and glanced at Devian who was enjoying his dinner. "I just want to make sure no intruders get into Aldwick."
"I've asked some troops to watch over the border, your worries are too much." Devian looked at Rhodri.
Rhodri looked nervous. "Don't we have to prevent every possible eventuality."
"Hmmm... I agree with you, there will be a chance that your position will be threatened upon my arrival." Alexis showed off her sweet smile.
Rhodri clasped his hands firmly. "Of course not, I'm just a small part of this kingdom."
The dinner banquet was finally over, Rhodri left the dining room with emotion as Alexis kept throwing sharp innuendos for him.
"I think I should go back to my room, too." Alexis immediately stood up from her seat and lowered her respect before leaving.
"Are you really going?" Devian looked at his son seriously.
"I may like to play games, but I will always hold my word. Tomorrow, I'm leaving. Don't worry! Just take good care of mom." Alexis immediately turned around to leave his father.
"How did you find that place?" Ask Devian.
Alexis paused for a moment and looked at her father. "I'll look for it my way." Alexis immediately stepped away from her father.

Her tiny hand deftly stuffed all the items she needed into the bag. A sword rested on the edge of the table. On it is a family painting. A man in neat clothes on his chest was emblazoned with military rank and a woman in a light blue dress smiled. In the woman's hand, a tiny baby was seen trying to grab the mother's face.
The girl was about to reach for the sword beside the table, but a moment of hesitation took hold of her.
"Aslyn only uses when pressed." He muttered to himself and immediately grabbed the sword.
Aslyn immediately held up her bag and sword, her brown iris staring at the painting on the table.
"Dad, mom, maybe you'll be disappointed with everything I do. But, I have no other choice to survive." Aslyn immediately stepped out of her small hut.

Alexis lay down on the pedestal of her own arm. Her red iris observes the ceiling of the room. Her mother's shadow continued to fill her mind.
"Your Majesty!!" There was the sound of someone greeting Alexis with a bow of respect.
"Howen, why did you take so long?" Alexis immediately got up and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, not much is known about the Apple. But, I managed to get the info from a witch."
"Witch? Last time I dealt with them, I had to hear future lectures and their ridiculous divination. Why did you choose to ask him?" Alexis asked a little annoyed.
"I'm sorry, but there's no other choice."
"Then, what did he say?" Alexis looked at Howen full of curiosity.
"The fruit was in a cave of the seabed, he said of another world under the sea." Howen began to explain.
"The world of the sea?" Alexis frowned.
"He said, deep on the sea floor we'll find a way in to get there. "Confidence and sincerity will lead you to what you want"." Howen ended his report.
"She also said a sentence that was difficult to understand." Alexis took a breath.
"There's another message." Howen looked at Alexis.
"What else?" Alexis looked at Howen.
"There will be mermaids who will stand in the way of our journey, "make a bond and they will show the way".
"Make a bond and they'll show you the way? Do I have to tie up the mermaids to make them show the way? Like a dog? Wouldn't kidnapping one of them be easier than getting into the water and risking my life?" Alexis laid her body back.
"The mermaids have the power to influence the mind and control the ocean." Howen.
"I just need to use earplugs and snare them with a net."
Howen just let out a long breath. "You'd better take a break tomorrow morning meet me at the palace gate." Alexis looked at Howen.
"Okay, Your Majesty!" Howen immediately saluted and left Alexis.
*****
Alexis was already preparing next to his white horse. Aiden walked closer to Alexis.
"Why you uncle?" Alexis was confused.
"You've just arrived and you have to leave now." Aiden looks sad.
"Uncle, don't put on that face, you look ugly!! I wonder why Aunt Beryl might be interested in you? Aren't I 1000x better than you?" Alexis looked at Aiden with her innocent expression.
"Looks like you should go now!!" Aiden looked at Alexis in annoyance.
"You want to bring some of my bodyguards?" The sound of Devian just came out.
"Hm... " Axis cleared her throat and awkwardly saluted her father. "No need, I can go alone and Howen will also be with me."
"All right, then!" Devian walked over to his son and awkwardly extended his hand.
Alexis frowned as his father's hand stopped in front of his chest. However, Devian's hand immediately moved onto Alexis' shoulder and patted her son's shoulder. "Come back safely!" said brief.
Alexis froze, a moment later she nodded. "I'd better get going."
Alexis immediately got on her horse and spurred the horse away from her home for the second time, but this time she hoped to return home.
