petty demon

part 28's

Slowly Devian's burly hands lifted his wife's limp body from the water. Water dripping from Alice's body left a trail of water droplets along the path she passed, Devian walked straight into the middle of the room where the healers stood. In one hand the healer is seen holding a container filled with diluted black liquid.

Slowly Devian placed his wife's body on the bed that had been prepared in the middle of the room. The healer walked slowly closer towards Alice.

"Where is Prince Alexis?" Asked the healer while circulating his gaze looking for the figure he was looking for.

"That kid is always like this.... "

"Sorry, I'm late." Alexis walked into the room, saw him fixing his shirt.

He quickly approached where his mother was and stood beside his father. "What should I do?" Ask Alexis.

"In your body flows the Queen's blood, we need it to resurrect her." A physician handed Alexis a silver dagger.

Alexis grabbed the dagger and prepared to scratch his palm. Another healer immediately put the container that had been filled with apple liquid near Alexis.

Alexis scratched his palm, fresh blood flowing out from the incision wound dripping slowly into the container. Someone approached, taking out a dagger and also the liquid that had mixed with Alexis' blood. A servant approached and gave a white handkerchief to Alexis, she grabbed the handkerchief using it to seal the wound on her hand.

The healer walked over towards the elder who had been standing near Alice since then. Sometimes Alice's breath starts to slow down. The healer began to chant a few incantations, each series of strange sentences continuously uttered from his lips.

Alexis was seen staring at her mother, before how long she turned around to leave the room. But, Devian's hand grabbed his son's arm. "Where are you going?" Devian asked coldly.

"I have no business here anymore." Alexis Mumbled.

"Wait until your mother wakes up, if she doesn't see you here, I don't know what she's gonna do to me."

Alexis returned to her position staring at her mother. Slowly the healer began to put the medicine into Alice's mouth slowly. "Are you afraid of him?" Alexis asked without looking at her father.

"Not really, I've hurt her too much." Devian Murmuring. "How's your wound?" Devian glanced at Alexis. "It seems like the healing is starting to slow down."

"Are you worried about me?" Alexis looked at her father coldly.

Devian was silent and looked straight at his wife.

At the same time, in a different location....

"What did you say????" The sound of screaming echoed almost throughout the room. "Then how could he rise up without a replacement body? Where's that stupid girl?"

"I've been here since." Aslyn walked leisurely closer towards Rhodri.

"You.. You're the one who helped her?" Rhodri gripped Aslyn's neck firmly. The girl grimaced in pain and began to have difficulty breathing.

"Baa.. How can I let go when I'm with you?"

Rhodri took off violently Aslyn's body, causing the girl to collapse quite violently. Aslyn rubbed her neck slowly, the pain and heat that she felt. "Look, do you think that letting go of my plan will fail?? You're wrong, I'll use myself against them."

Rhodri took out an apple from her pocket. Aslyn's eyes stared at a necklace with a red ruby on the table, which Rhodri soon reached.

"Rhodri stop what you're gonna do?" Aslyn immediately ran towards Rhodri trying to grab the demon apple in the man's hand. 2

"Shut up, don't bother me. I'll kill him and I'll take everything. I'll make them all sorry." Rhodiri screams uncontrollably.

"Stop, don't let those demons poison you." Aslyn tried to grab the Apple in Rhodri's hands. But, with a single blow the man's hand Aslyn's body bounced to hit one of the long chairs there.

Rhodri stared at Aslyn's ferocious, her gray irises momentarily burning red. "Don't interfere in my business, this time I'll kill that stupid Alexis." There were several different sounds coming from Rhodri's mouth.

Aslyn was shocked. "What was that?" Aslyn muttered.

He quickly ate the devil apple in his hand greedily within seconds the apple in his hand vanished. "Aaagggggrrrrrrr.r.

His eyes were wide open, his body twitching forcefully making him collapse onto the floor. The man clasped his chest firmly, he floundered withstanding the pain.

Aslyn who saw it instantly seemed to tremble withstanding her own fear. "Rho... Rhodes..!!" Call her softly with a trembling voice.

But Rhodri just groaned in pain, he clawed his entire body that seemed to burn. "Aaaagggggrrrrr..aaaaggggrrrr.

Aslyn tried to brave herself to get closer, but only a few steps away from her place. Rhodri's eyes that were burning red stared intently at the girl. Aslyn came to a halt, her body increasingly trembling in fear. "Rho... Rhode.. " She muttered with a trembling voice.

Alice's body seemed to be still, as if there was no reaction. But, a few healers surrounded his weak body draining each of their energy on the Queen.

Alexis moved out of her seat. "I told you to wait for him." Devian muttered without taking his eyes off the wife.

Alexis stopped her steps and glanced towards the cold father. "It's been more than two hours we've been waiting and I don't see any progress. Just accept that he's dead." Alexis looked down for a moment.

With a flash Devian walked up to his son and clasped tightly onto his collar. Devian stared intently at his son with emotion. "So your mouth, he'll be back."

Alexis brushed off his father's hand. "Listen, I also have to save someone you left there." Alexis raised her tone.

"You're sure of your situation now? I guarantee you'll be knocked down in a matter of seconds." Devian Murmuring.

"Did you underestimate me?" Ask Alexis emotion.

"I'm just waking you up, right now He's even stronger with another apple in his hand, he's got immortality from the blood of the mermaids and sucked some noble demons that you threw away. He's really smart, use them." Devian.

"Whatchu mean? How do you know he's... "

"You are too young to understand how rotten the human heart is, you are too young to know how a King runs his kingdom. You're still too naive... " Devian smiled obliquely and sat back down on his seat.

Alexis also followed her father, forcing her to sit down again. Devian's eyes looked straight at Alice. "I don't think you know much about war either." Devian Murmuring.

Alexis glanced at Devian. "Are you mocking me?"

"No, Malbork's army is famous for their weakness." Devian murmured.

"But... "

"Your forces are able to survive and win in battle and defend their territory. Are you aware? You always get more help without you noticing." Devian glanced towards his son.

For a moment Alexis' eyes widened, recalling every major battle he had ever faced. He always saw a commander who always gave orders and set the strategy well. But once the war is over he always disappears or is difficult to meet. Before long she realized something, something she had never thought of.

"I know where you are, but it would be nice if I pretended not to know and looked after you from afar." Devian muttered while looking down deeply.

As their conversation began to get serious a healer was startled as Alice's body began to shake and convuls. "Great, the Queen's body began to put up a fight against the devil's apple. If the Queen can't survive she'll die." There was the sound of a doctor screaming in panic.

Devian and Alexis quickly stepped towards Alice.

Rhodri's breath looked irregular, sweat filling his body. The iris of his eyes changed, the right part looked red and the other part was golden. His right hand had gripped Aslyn's neck. "You should remain faithful to me, so I will let you stay by my side. You're beautiful but my stupid son trusts you too much. I'm sure you won't betray him, then how about I send you to the stupid son of Devian." Rhodri grinned with eyes burning full of hatred.

A red ruby necklace was seen hanging from Rhodri's neck, deep inside the necklace Rhodri's soul was shackled bound unconscious.
