petty demon

part 17's

Tests....

The sound of water droplets falling on the water was calm, giving rise to circular ripples on the water. Dark, nothing to see.

Alexis' body floated in the air, blood pouring from between her lips. Slowly red hands emerged from the ground trying to reach Alexis' body.

"Stop... " Sounds someone's faint scream. "Alexis, open your eyes... You said you were strong.. Alexis's... You gotta get up....." The voice was heard repeatedly in Alexis' mind. "Alexis." the last scream so loud that Alexis woke up from her sleep.

"Well.. Huh.. Huh.. " Axis woke up with a gasp of breath, sweat had drenched her entire body. "I fell asleep again." Mumbles listlessly. With a shuddering step he got up from his bed. But, her steps came to a halt when she saw Aslyn standing in the doorway watching her.

"Ahh, I forgot that I brought you yesterday." Alexis looked at Aslyn who looked astonished.

"You're messing around in your sleep?" Aslyn asked in disbelief.

"Hm.. It only happens when I'm exhausted. I thought you were gonna run away." Alexis immediately stepped into the bathroom.

"You asked me to come with you, so I waited for you." Aslyn lowered her head to hide her awkward face. "I'll make something for breakfast, but... "

"No need, Howen will prepare it." Alexis went into the bathroom.

Aslyn walked towards the chair, she sat back down and surveyed the entire room. 'Actually what am I doing here.' he thought.

Clack..

Someone opened the door of the room, Aslyn stared at the person who had just entered. Howen lowered his head in salute, making Aslyn stand awkwardly and salute as well. Howen brought some bread to Alexis and Aslyn.

"Aren't you sitting?" Aslyn stared at Howen who was standing in front of Alexis' bedroom door.

"I'm on duty." Answer Howen briefly.

Before long Alexis came out with wet hair and an unbuttoned white shirt. The sixpack's stomach was clearly plastered in front of Aslyn's eyes. For a moment Aslyn's eyes looked at the abdominal muscles but quickly the girl lowered her head.

"You why?" Ask Alexis to Aslyn.

"Ka.. You're.. Your clothes.. "

"Ahhh, do you like it?" Alexis grabbed a loaf of bread and put it in her mouth.

"Your Majesty, you better sit down and enjoy your meal." Howen.

"How can I enjoy my food, if she's not comfortable with me?" Alexis pointed at Aslyn.

"Which girl would be able to eat comfortably with such a sight." Aslyn threw a pissed face.

"You just have to say that you like it." Tempt Alexis while biting his bread for the umpteenth time. "Where are we going?" Alexis looked at Howen.

THE STORY IS CONNECTED BELOW

"To the North, the tip of the land is there. Filled with sharp corals and big waves it's the nest of mermaids." Howen.

"Good, let's get ready. You'd better eat miss, too, 'cause we don't know when we can eat anymore." Alexis grabbed a loaf of bread and gave it to Aslyn.

Aslyn looked at Alexis and took the Bread from her hand. Alexis smiled and blinked one eye. "I'll take care of you."

For some reason but Aslyn's face flushed slightly and she awkwardly bit the bread in her hand.

*****

Ten people lined up in front of someone, he sat down by crossing his legs. His gray iris observed one by one of those people.

"You guys have prepared for today. Find out where Alexis went, give me a report every day. Do not let you get caught or caught by him and in time my turn will come. You understand!" The man looked at those people.

They nodded indicating they understood the order given by the master.

"Good, you can go now." A satisfied smile was seen adorning his face.

Those people immediately went out leaving the man inside his room. "We'll see Alexis who will win in the end." He murmured confidently.

"Don't be satisfied, Rhodri!" A voice sounded warning.

"What do you mean?" Rhodri looked at the mirror in front of him.

"The boy is no ordinary man, he... "

"Did you underestimate me? I've walked this far and you still say he's better than me?" Rhodri looked at the mirror before her emotions. "You're not even smarter than me."

"You're right, but there's no denying that he's better than you. He can even make his own kingdom." Adrian's voice reminded his son.

"Shut up before I break your glass!" Rhodri cried out in anger.

"No problem, my soul is not in the mirror but... " Adrian's shadow in the mirror pointed to the top of the mirror a red ruby was there.

"Without me you can't do anything." Rhodes.

"And without me, you wouldn't be able to walk this far." Adrian grinned at his son. "So don't underestimate me."

Rhodri immediately got up from her seat and stepped out of her room with emotion.

*****

Alexis looked at the girl sitting in front of him. Although he often traveled on horseback, but he had never ridden a horse with a girl before.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Aslyn asked uncomfortable.

"I'm looking at the road ahead, don't be so confident." Alexis glanced the other way hiding his lie. "How long does it take to get to that place?" Alexis looked at Howen.

"Okay, we'll keep going." Alexis looked at Howen, as if asking for approval.

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Horses ran increasingly fast splitting the streets of the wilderness. The sound of a Wild Star sounded earthy. Howen kept his horse leading the way and ensured the safety of the prince.

The sun began to fall, the sky slowly began to darken. But there was no sign of Alexis intending to stop or take a break.

For a moment Alexis' eyes stared at the girl in front of him. He looks so sleepy.

"Howen, let's take a little break here." Alexis looked at Howen.

Howen immediately slowed down the pace of his horse. "But I don't think it's very safe here."

"It's okay, just for a second I think he needs a little rest." Alexis looked at Aslyn. "Hey!!" Alexis surprised Aslyn who was asleep on horseback.

"Hhh..!!" Aslyn was shocked and looked at Alexis who had already descended from her horse. "Have you arrived?" Aslyn asked half-consciously.

"Let's go down for a minute, let's take a break here." Alexis reached out her hand to help the girl down. "Howen, get some fruit around here." Alexis glanced at Howen and turned to Aslyn. "Can you ride a horse?"

"I learned when I was a kid." Answer Aslyn.

"Howen, is this area still under Lucery's control?" Alexis looked at Howen.

Howen nodded. "Still, but what are you planning? You don't want to send this girl over there, do you?"

"Of course not, humans shouldn't be there. I just want to borrow one more horse he'll use my horse and I'll borrow the demon horse from Lucery."

"I'll be there, you stay here." Howen disappeared from there.

"Where did he go?" Aslyn looked at Alexis. "What are you guys really?"

"Howen, can teleport but only himself and open the gate towards some demon kingdom." Alexis explained.

"And you?" Aslyn looked at Alexis full of question marks.

"I? I can do what Howen did, but teleportation isn't my forte." Answer Alexis.

"You're saying that I'm just like you what does that mean?" Ask Aslyn curiously.

"Because you grew up without parents." Answer Alexis briefly.

Aslyn was momentarily shocked by Alexis' reply. "By.. How do you know?"

"A girl who has parents won't rob. Most of the girls will be at home, listening to his mother and going through an arranged marriage."

"Do you have no parents?" Aslyn looked at Alexis full of probing.

Alexis smiled obliquely. "Are you making sure of something?" Alexis looked at Aslyn. "I grew up beyond their reach." Answer Alexis then.

"What do you mean?"

Alexis drew closer to Aslyn watching the girl's face closely. "I mean, don't be too curious about me or you'll fall in love with me." Alexis blinked one eye.

"YES!!! don't expect me to like a jerk like you." Aslyn raised her tone and turned her face red.

"You calling me a jerk again?" Alexis didn't believe it.

"You've slept with a lot of women, haven't you?"

"But I never forced them to accompany me." Answer Alexis.

Krakk...

The sound of a branch breaking, Alexis stared warily around him. In the grasp of his hand appeared a silvery sword.

"A.. What the... "

"Sstt.. Being quiet.. " Alexis stood in front of Aslyn.

The tail of his eye caught a movement from his left side. Alexis was about to attack, but someone attacked him first. Snapping Alexis used his sword to withstand the mysterious person's weapon attack.

"Gyles!" Call Alexis.

His red iris stared intently at his opponent's eyes. A man with golden irises. Gyles grinned at Alexis.

"Now without your bodyguards you're nothing." A satisfied smile was seen adorning Gyles' face.

"You're wrong, without him I'd be even more dangerous." Alexis grinning.

Alexis pushed his sword, making Gyles push back a few steps.

"Well, I won't hold myself back anymore." Gyler looked at Alexis full of anger. "I will reclaim my kingdom and honor my father."

"Alright, show me what you can do. Except talk a lot." challenge Alexis.

"Yeah... " Gyles shouted with all his might.

An explosion of power appeared within him, Alexis immediately moved away from Gyles. His body turned red, his human legs turned into large feet with large claws like dinosaur feet. His burly body began to swell forming larger muscles wings growing on his back like a giant bat. His face was getting creepy, huge fangs sticking out of his mouth. And a horn appeared on the forehead. The true form of Gyles is also seen. A two-meter-tall poster stood in front of Alexis and Aslyn.

"Haha.. You will die in my hands little king." Gyles' thunderous voice filled the entire forest.
