petty demon
part 38's
"Me... Killing me? No kidding? What can a little baby do to me? You're overreacting." Alice looked at Devian. "Get out of my room!!" Sluggishly.
"Alice... "
"I beg you!! Get out of here." Repeat Alice.
Devian was silent for a moment, then walked out. "I'll be back with the healer from Lucery." Devian muttered before closing the door.
Alice staggered back, her hands trying to grab something to support her body. Snapping, Beryl immediately restrained Alice's body. "Your Majesty is fine!" Ask Beryl worried.
"I just feel dizzy." Mumbled Alice.
"You'd better lie down!" Beryl helps Alice to lie on her bed.
By nightfall, it wasn't long before Devian came back. Alice's stomach was slightly swollen. Beryl had just finished off Alice's dinner when Devian walked in. "Come out, I want to talk to my wife!" Devian's Order.
"Are you going to kill me?" Mumbled Alice.
"What are you talking about?" Devian asked in a cold tone.
Beryl immediately walked out leaving Devian and Alice both. "Do you feel anything uncomfortable?" Ask Devian.
"What do you expect? So far I'm fine, at least before you come and make me anxious and scared." Alice looked at Devian sharply.
"So, you're more afraid of me than of aliens who are beginning to eat away at the source of your life?" Devian asked annoyed. "You should know something, healer come in!"
Not long after a middle-aged woman entered the room. His forehead looks shriveled watching Alice, no more precisely staring at Alice's stomach. "A human being carries a baby demon, the original lineage of the ibli royal family." Mumbled.
"What do you think?" Ask Devian.
"He is as strong as you are in the womb of a daughter, within 4 months he will be born and during that time little by little he will absorb the source of his mother's life until the time of her birth." Obviously the female physician.
"Then, what will happen?" Alice looked at the woman.
"Death to the mother, containing noble demons is very risky even for the demons though. For demons the recovery of power and strength can be done faster. But for humans I think this would be impossible." Clearly the healer with a serious face.
"I don't care, no matter what happens I'll keep this kid." Shouted Alice. "If you're just here to brag, you better go."
"What's? Now you dare to throw me out?" Devian asked in disbelief. "In a day you dare me only for those aliens?" Shouted Devian Angry.
"Then, what about you?" Alice looked at Devian with teary eyes. "Evenings, you still whisper love to me and today you keep saying rude and showing hatred to me." Clear water started to slide down.
"Forget it, I shouldn't have talked to you." Devian invited the healer to come out with him.
3 Months 2 weeks...
A woman with pale skin was lying weakly on her bed. His eyes were soft, staring blankly out the window. His body was covered in a thick blanket, his large-looking stomach seemed to move up and down in unison with his heavy breathing.
KreKK..
Hearing the sound of the door closing the woman immediately turned to the direction the voice came from.
"Sorry, Your Majesty! Did I surprise you?" Ask the waiter who just came in.
"No, Beryl." There was a disappointed tone from his weak voice.
He looked back out the window, occasionally his pale hands stroking his enlarged stomach.

"Why is he so stubborn?" devian's furious shout filled the entire room of the desolate hall.
In front of him was only Aiden who could only stare at Devian with an expression that was hard to understand.
"Your Majesty, it makes perfect sense that Her Majesty the Queen maintains her content." Aiden Mumbled.
"But why? Is it not enough to love me? I don't need a successor anytime soon?" Devian stared at Aiden.
"But not for Her Majesty. He's a human who has a short time limit." Aiden reminded Devian.
Devian fell silent as if all that had never occurred to him all this time. "But he doesn't have to."
"If you are in the position of Her Majesty the Queen......"
"You haven't seen Her Majesty the Queen for days, she's probably waiting for you." Aiden reminded.
Devian breathed a heavy sigh. "I can't bear to see him die slowly."
"Is there no way to save the Queen?" Ask Aiden.
"I was asking some of my men to look for something in Grandfather's palace. There's a lot of useful stuff in there. But, they haven't gotten anything that can be used for the current situation." Devian answered with a lethargic face.

In a room with a dim light, baby cries sounded so strong all over the long hallways. Devian stood in front of the door of the room staring blankly at the bed where his wife was lying.
White sheets filled with blood, Alice's pale body lying weakly. Occasionally, his breathing became less and less frequent, in the arms of Beryl, a blood-soaked baby boy who continued to cry to tear the silence of the dark night for his father.
Devian stepped quickly towards his wife's body. "Alice!!!" Call Devian. "Open your eyes!!" Devian's orders in a loud voice.
Devian glanced towards his wife's left chest sharpening his demonic hearing.
Deg. . . . Deg. . .deg
Alice's heartbeat slowed, with no thought Devian grabbed her and carried her out, leaving Beryl, who was also sobbing there, staring at the baby in her arms.

"Aiden!!!?" Devian's loud voice echoed throughout his outdoor study.
With a quick step Aiden approached Devian.
"Secure the Queen's death, put anything in the coffin to disguise her death." Devian's Order.
Devian's eyes were fixed on Alice's body in the Devian's arms.
"But... "
"Just do it!!" reset Devian.
Before Devian a dark gate opened. He immediately stepped in leaving Aiden speechless in confusion.
Devian laid his wife's body on the black marble table, and several servants approached Alice's body. Clean every inch of Alice's body and replace Alice's blood-filled dress with a clean white dress. Before long several people appeared around Alice's body. Their lips began to cast a spell, from a distance there was a blue light in a large glass box. Some people brought the box closer, Devian immediately cradled his wife's body stuffing her dying body into a large glass box, which was filled with such clear water.
Alice's body seemed to be floating, her eyes closed. His silver hair was floating in the water.
"I'm not sure if the water from the lake of life is capable of curing her, but at least this water is able to prolong her lifespan before we find the best cure to reawaken the Queen." Obviously the physician.
*flash back end*
"So you faked my death?" Alice raised her next to her eyebrows. "Are you really expecting that?" Ask Alice pouting.
Devian wrapped his hands around his wife's slender waist. Pulling his wife's body closer to him. Slowly Devian peeked at the nape of the wife, slowly inhaling the aroma that he so longed for. "I'm even very scared if it really happens." Devian Murmuring.
Alice clutched Devian's head against her shoulder. "Do you love me so much?" Alice asked softly.
"Very well, even I'm thinking of killing myself if you can't go back." Devian raised his face staring in his wife's blue iris. "You're still the same." Devian Murmuring.
"Are you smart now to seduce women? I remember you being so cold."
"really? Do you want warmth, honey?" Devian raised next to his eyebrows.
Devian slowly brought his face closer to Alice's face. "What are you thinking?" Alice held Devian's face. "Your son just broke his heart." Alice immediately got up and looked at Devian's annoyance.
"Are you aware? You just broke my heart, too." Devian looked at Alice annoyedly. "Just take care of the son of the dissident, don't mind me."
Alice smiled at her husband's behavior. "Are you jealous?" Temptation Alice.
"Well!! I can get more of you." Devian turned his face away.
Chup...
A lightning kiss on Devian's lips made the man startled. "Try it and you'll see the man die in front of you." Alice blinked one eye before going out to leave Devian.
"How has his personality changed? Has she been holding everything back and acting shy only at me?" Devian muttered with a smile.
