petty demon

part 22's

"Hiks... Hix... Hix... "

The sound of someone's sobs sounded faint. Water drops dripped onto Alexis' cheek. He moaned, slowly his eyes opened showing his red irises. The faint shadow of a person in front of him could be seen his shoulders trembling along with the sound of his sobs.

"Hmmm... " Alexis is trying to wake up.

Aslyn who saw Alexis awake gasped in shock and immediately helped her. Alexis grimaced in pain as Aslyn touched her arm.

"Ma.. Sorry!!" Quickly the girl removed her grip from Alexis' arm.

"You okay?" Alexis looked at Aslyn.

"I should have asked you that." Aslyn wiped her tears and looked at Alexis. "Are you okay?"

"Either... My chest hurts... " Axis held onto her chest, her breathing began to heavy. "A... I reckon.. L'm... It won't... Persist... Any more.... "

"Taa... But, Howen... She went to get you some medicine, why didn't she come back..." Aslyn began to panic.

"Ti.. Dak.. What, says... Kan on Howen... Her... Bodyguard... The outside.... The regular... " Alexis seems to be having trouble talking. "Uhukkkp... Uhukk... Uhukk... " Alexis coughed, her breathing getting heavier.

"No, don't hold on. I beg you... " Aslyn started a panic.

Alexis' body began to sag back, aslyn quickly grabbed Alexis' head and propped the man's head up. "Hold on, don't talk anymore... You have to survive... " Aslyn was getting more panicked, her tears were coming back.

"To... Long... Done it... Kan's.. The mission... Me." Alexis' hand fell limp, his head bowing to Asyln's chest limp.

Aslyn was wide in shock, she started to panic and cry. "Hiks... Someone heard me!!" Aslyn screamed out all her might hoping that someone would hear her. But, there's no one there. Alexis' body had been limp, Aslyn was sobbing when she saw Alexis' body.

"Someone please!! I'm begging.. " Aslyn lowered her head sadly tears flooded her cheeks.

Howen appears shortly after Howen's body freezes to see Alexis' body. Aslyn who saw Howen's arrival immediately laid Alexis' body slowly. The girl ran over to Alexis' bodyguard who was frozen.

"Master, please Alexis. I'm begging... Her... I think he's dead.." The occasional sobbing was heard in every word he said. "You can save him... He's probably a shitty prince... But, to be honest he's a handsome guy... And well. "the cry of Aslyn became more and more when he remembered because of himself Alexis became like this.

Alexis opened one of her eyes peering towards Aslyn who was turning her back. Howen was surprised and was about to step closer towards Alexis. But Alexis immediately beckoned Howen not to come closer and asked him to shut up. Alexis laid back her body and closed her eyes as Aslyn looked at her. "Mr Howen... Anyway Alexis... Is an amazing man... Honestly my heart... It hurts to see him like this... It's hard to control how I feel when he looks at me.. I wanted to tell him I liked him.. But he'll never know... It's... Hwaaa... What should I do... Mr. Howen, everything happened because of my fault... Huhoo..."

Howen stared at Aslyn flatly not a word came out of his mouth. "Sir, why are you quiet... Do something..."

Alexis kept trying to hold back his laughter from exploding. Every sentence Aslyn he listened carefully. "Kc... You should have been honest from the beginning that my charm was too strong" Alexis said in his heart.

"Why don't you just kiss her?" I heard someone's voice.

Aslyn looked at Howen in disbelief. But Howen didn't say a word. "I mean a very memorable friendly kiss, so that I can't forget it even after I'm dead." Alexis got up. He held her shoulder and grimaced with pain.

"Baa... How does.. You're... " Aslyn looked confused.

Alexis walked closer towards Aslyn with a seductive smile. "Why? You're glad I'm alive? That arrow is poisonous and very deadly to humans, but a part of me is immune to any poison." Alexis blinked her eyes.

"Basic jerk!! I thought you were gonna die." Aslyn looked at Alexis angrily.

"Isn't that better? Now you can express all your feelings to me." Temptation Alexis.

"Better, you die!!" Shouted Aslyn irritatedly and walked away from Alexis.

Alexis looked at Howen in confusion. "Why is he angry with me? He said he liked me, right?"

"Sorry, Your Majesty I don't understand." Howen replied, bowing apologetically.

Alexis was speechless in disbelief staring at his bodyguard. "Forget it, I shouldn't have talked to you about this." Alexis took a long breath.

"Gghhhhfgrrr..." There was a sound of pain coming from someone.

"Kink..." There was a mockery of someone.

Adrian appeared in the mirror, looking at his son who was moaning in pain. "Isn't that too strong, I told you to make the potion first. The blood of the mermaids will make you stay Rhodri so that your body will be able to receive every demon soul you absorb."

"Silent... You...!!" Rhodri throws a facade into the mirror.

Prangs....

The mirror broke, Adrian's reflection looks more and more. The sound of laughter in the room continued to echo filled Rhodri's head.

Slowly the broken mirror fused back into one piece. "You look pathetic, that's why you'll never be better than him."

"Fleetgrrraaaaa... " The sound of Rhodri's cry filled the entire Eastern Castle.

Alexis tried to catch up with Aslyn's quick pace in front of him. "Hm.. You're sure, there's nothing you want to tell me." Alexis keeps teasing Aslyn.

Aslyn stopped and stared intently at Alexis. "Everything I say is a lie, so you'll quickly come to your senses... "

"Am I going to believe that easily?" Alexis leaned over to line her eyes with Aslyn. "But your eyes say otherwise, it looks like you should tell me right away. Just tell me, I won't laugh."

Aslyn held onto the injured shoulder of Alexis and pressed down on the wound. "Aaaahhhh... " Axis whimpering in pain.

Howen stared at Alexis. "Don't mess with me!" Aslyn warns and walks up to Alexis.

"Kc.. He's pretty stubborn." Alexis looked at Aslyn's back. "But I like it!!" Alexis's quick move soon caught up with Aslyn.

"Can you stay away from me?" Aslyn asked annoyed.

Alexis nodded quickly. "No!" answer Alexis briefly.

"I think I want to kill you." Shouted Aslyn annoyed.

"If I die, you'll cry again." Alexis blinked one eye.

Aslyn stared at Alexis getting more and more emotional. Along the way Alexis keeps flirting with the girl he's with. Until they reach the end of the forest.

The area of barren rocks, the ceiling of the cave gives the impression of increasingly creepy. The inside looks dark.

"What is this place?" Ask Aslyn.

The girl's eyes were perfectly rounded, a sense of awe and also fear coalesced into one. The atmosphere was like hell, a pitch-black rock that had cracks glowing reddish like hot lava. The ceiling of the cave only showed a dim light to the moaning.

"Valley of death, a little more we will arrive." Alexis Guma.

Alexis was about to step into the area, but her steps came to a halt as Aslyn held back her arm. "No, I think it's dangerous there."

Alexis looked at the girl, clearly a look of fear, worry and uneasiness on her pretty face.

"It's okay." Alexis smile.

Alexis' hand grabbed Aslyn's clasped fingers and from Aslyn's arm was now moved to Alexis's hand.

The girl stared at Alexis' deep red iris, Alexis replied to her with a smile. "You'll be fine, I'll make sure of that."

Aslyn simply nodded her head inexplicably what made her believe in Alexis.

"Howen, are you ready?" Alexis looked at Howen beside her.

Howen nodded steadily assenting.

"You've been informed about who the forbidden seal user is?" Devian stared at each person in his room.

"Although Your Majesty, it is very difficult to detect the user of the seal. Like there's another force blocking us from tracking his power." Obviously one of the soldiers Devian assigned. "Even some of us have disappeared" he continued.

"It would be bad if he caught you and absorbed more and more demon souls. Should I intervene alone?" Devian seemed to think.

"For the time being, we can still handle it noble."

"Alright, track where they are. Don't go near or against them, just give me the information. If he were to absorb more and more demon souls it would be extremely dangerous."

"Okay, Your Majesty!!"

"All right, you can go."

The soldier immediately saluted Devian before leaving.

"Well, you're quick to come back before things get any worse." Devian Murmuring.
