petty demon

part 39's

"Darling, are you still sleeping?" There was a soft voice of a woman as the door of Alexis's room opened.

Alexis immediately covered her head with a blanket. As if he had not heard his mother's words.

Alice sighed heavily and walked in. In his hand a tray of food was brought specially for the son.

Alice placed the tray on the table and immediately sat down beside her son. "Do you like her so much?" Mumbled Alice. "To be honest, I'm a little jealous. You know I always wish I could see growing up and hear the first word from you. But, it seems like it's impossible because now you're in love. Eat a little, your own mother prepared it. I'm sorry, if I can't keep you company all this time."

Alice was about to move from there, but Alexis' hand quickly grabbed her mother's hand. A moment Alice was silent, then a beautiful smile seemed to adorn her lips.

"I don't love him, I'm just upset that he died so easily." Alexis murmured coldly.

"Why are you talking so mean?" Alice asked in wonder.

"Mother, I love you more than anyone in the world." Alexis looked at Alice.

"Me too!" Alice was about to pull her son into her arms. But Alexis quickly moved away. "Why?" Alice asked confusedly.

"I'm a big boy, mom. So don't just hug me, I'm also a king" Alexis blushed.

"You're already big, ahhh.. I wish I could bribe you, accompany you to sleep, read you a fairy tale, take you for a walk... "

"Mom, you can still do it." Alexis smiled at her mother.

"really? Ahhh.. I miss you so much." Shouted Alice excitedly.

Outside the room Devian looks frozen. "He completely forgot about me. Because of that kid." Devian's eyes flashed with rage.

Alice was fixing her son's blanket, occasionally humming to bring her son to sleep. "Sleep well my son!" Alice kissed her son's forehead.

A big smile was seen adorning his face. "I'm so happy to be able to do everything with you." Alice muttered happily.

Braaaackd...

The door opened loudly. "You know how long I waited for you!!?? " Shouted Devian emotion.

"What are you doing, you're gonna wake her up??" Alice tried to lower her voice and quickly pulled her husband out leaving her son.

When the door closed again, Alexis opened her eyes to touch her forehead which had just been kissed by her mother. "Do I have to keep going like this?" He muttered while breathing.

Before long Howen appeared beside Alexis looking down saluting him. "Hows it? You got anything?" Ask Alexis.

"Not much, I just got a little bit of information. If, someone kills the guardian of the lake of life then he will be damned forever he will share the body with the guardian every drop of blood in his body will replace the lake water that will dry up after the death of the panjaga. He will be born without bond and when he makes a bond death will approach. His life will continue to revolve endlessly, but the curse can be broken with the sacrifice of a mermaid who must be willing to become the eternal guardian of the lake." Howen.

"So, he'll rise again and die again?" Alexis Mumbled.

"That's according to the records I found in Lucery's secret room."

"Other than that, what else do you have." Ask Alexis.

"There's a passage that can't be read, sorry."

"It's okay, I don't need it then we better prepare a good retaliation for him." Alexis grinning.

"I found this too." Howen handed Alexis a roll of paper. A name written there. General Louis Rowlyn

Alexis frowned, as if thinking about the name.

****

"You've completely forgotten me." Devian muttered annoyedly. "You know how I fought to get you back and what you did?"

"Are you jealous now? On your own son?" Alice smiled at her husband.

"Forget it, I didn't say anything, just go to the kid's place." Devian said getting annoyed.

Devian immediately walked away, approaching his desk. Alice grabbed her husband's hand making Devian's steps stop. "I miss you, Your Majesty, too." Alice stared in her husband's red iris.

Slowly the girl approached Devian and hugged her husband. Devian was silent for a moment, before how long he returned his wife's embrace. "As long as I'm asleep, I keep dreaming. I'm so afraid of being alone, how do you feel? Are you going to forget me? Are you gonna get mad?"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. " Devian cupped both his hands to his wife's face.

Make the woman's face look at her face. "You know, I'll never give up on you." Devian brought his face closer to his wife.

Slowly Alice closed her eyes, a warm gust of Devian breath she could feel through every nerve of her face.

Brakkk....

The door of the room opened, making the two couples startle and instantly move away from each other. It was obvious that the look on Devian's face was upset.

"Who..... " Devian was speechless as he saw Alexis' angry face on the doorstep.

"I need to talk!" Alexis stared intently at the father.

"Where's your manners?" Ask Devian emotion.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys?" Alice asked confusedly.

"Take it right and I'll answer your question." Devian began to raise his voice.

"Who is this guy?" Alexis showed me the scroll in her hand.

Red Iris Devian stared at the writing on the scroll, before how long the corners of her lips lifted. "So you're investigating your girlfriend's family?" Devian asked in a mocking tone.

"You know nothing, just answer my question." Alexis said it was getting emotional.

"It's up to me as King, you have no right to know who they are." Devian grinning.

"Your Majesty, can you calm down and answer Alexis' question?" Persuade Alice.

"I don't want to!" Devian turned towards his desk.

"Well, I can force you!" alexis's eyes glowed red, a sword appeared and he quickly shot towards the father. He pointed his sword at Devian's back.

Devian sigap turned around, out of nowhere Devian had grasped his sword resisting Alexis' attack. "You're challenging me?" Devian raised next to his Eyebrows. "All right! Let's just finish this thing."

Devian pushes Alexis' sword, Alexis and Devian's sword friction sparks. Quickly Alexis jumped dodging, her eyes glancing towards the nearby table. Alexis kicked the table towards Devian, the table floated quickly towards Devian and with a single slash the table split in two.

Brakkk... Ppyyyaarrrc. ..

Both parts of the table hit the glass cabinet and the wall. Paper was scattered everywhere, in an instant the room became chaotic. Alice looked down in silence, with quick steps the woman walked towards the sword that was stuck in one of the statues in the room.

Alexis darted towards Devian, and vice versa. Without them noticing Alice darting towards the two of them, with all her strength Alice thrust a sword into the black marble floor of the room. It spawned a powerful burst of power that sent Devian and Alexis bouncing in opposite directions.

Devian's body hit several tables, leaving some furniture shattered. Alexis hit a hard wall that made the wall crack.

As they tried to get up, the eyes of the father and son stared at Alice's figure furiously at the two of them. "You want to listen to me, or keep fighting?" Alice asked with bated emotions.

With a lazy face Devian sat on one of the sofas in the other room. He looked out the window without showing any interest. While Alexis looks down in trying not to look at the mother who is standing between the two of them.

"Alexis, keep your attitude to your father! Do you understand?" Alice asked slightly raising her voice.

"Yes, mom!!" Answer Alexis briefly.

"And you!!" Alice looked towards Devian. But Devian did not respond at all. "Devians!!" Call Alice.

"What do you want?" Devian asked increasingly annoyed.

"Don't hit your son. I'll leave you both. Talk carefully, if until I see there are objects that shift even if only one milli... " Alice stared intently at her husband and son. "You will be punished." Alice warned.

"I don't know if you're cruel, too." Devian muttered annoyedly.

"I heard it!" Alice glanced at Devian and immediately stepped away.

"You! You came at an inopportune time." Devian looked at Alexis annoyed.

"You just have to answer my question, isn't that easier?" Alexis said he would not lose.

"I warned you to keep your attitude." Devian Sahut.

"Keeping attitude? Did you ever teach me about it?" Alexis's questioning began to be emotional.

"Shut your mouth, son of a dissident!" Devian immediately got up from his seat to head towards Alexis.

Geck.. Geck...

"I'm on guard outside!!?" Alice's voice came from behind the door.

"Kc.. " Devian immediately slammed his body into his seat. "What do you want to ask?" Ask Devian lazy.

Alexis placed the scroll on the table, Devian glanced at the scroll. "That's the data about the General who was killed while spying inside the rebel forces."

"So, he's not a rebel?" Ask Alexis.

"Not." Answer Devian briefly.

"But his son thinks he's a rebel. How the... "

"It was a secret mission, when my troops stormed them he had not been able to get out of the enemy forces and finally he was killed. Of course many think that he defected and rebelled from the government. Unbeknownst to me, his wife was pregnant, when I found out I sent an army to take him to the capital to prepare a decent house and place but they refused and he instead asked the bodyguard to bring his son to join the royal army. Years later his son was killed on the battlefield." Devian grabbed the scroll on the table. "He's an amazing general, it's hard to find a human like him."

"That's all?" Ask Alexis.

"That's all, then what else do you want?" Devian looked at Alexis coldly.

"Then what about her mother?" Ask Alexis.

"He was te
