petty demon

part 5's

A place so dark was just a small beam of light shining down on a single point in the room. Where a girl lay with her eyes closed. Faint voices were heard, but no one was seen there. Slowly the girl's eyeballs moved, as well as her fingers as if the voices were beginning to tease her. A moment later slowly the girl opened her eyes revealing a beautiful blue iris. He tried to adjust his vision, looking in all directions. But as far as his eyes looked all he saw was darkness.

"Where is this?" Mumbled.

Slowly the girl with silver hair woke up from her sleep. Back a loud voice sounded.

"What's going on?" There was someone's nervous voice. A familiar voice in his ears.

"Devians!" The girl was sure.

"This was unexpected, after the incident the prince came that time the Queen's state was unstable." There was another voice that was just as anxious.

"A.. Alexis's? Is he alive?" Mumbled surprised. "Devians!!!" The girl shouted to her husband.

But, there's no answer. Alice immediately got up from her bed. He looked around, but all he saw was darkness. Alice ran around trying to find where her husband was. "Devian, don't you hear me. Where're you?" Alice shouted louder.

Alice continued to run and no matter how far she ran she would return where she lay. Until repeatedly he ran and continued to run but returned there, where he lay before.

"A... What'sthis?" Alice's lips trembled, Tears slowly dripping from her cheeks. "Ke.. Why me... " Alice's body slumped to the floor she kept sobbing trying to see around her if there was a way out for her.

Devian sat in front of Alice's glass chest, almost two hours after the red-sliced man looked at his wife who was still lying motionless there. For the umpteenth time he let out a heavy sigh, feelings of guilt and anger continued to haunt him.

"What do I have to do to save you?" Devian Murmuring.

As Devian stood up and was about to leave, the man saw something. Devian quickly turned around and walked closer to his wife.

"K.. You crying?" Devian muttered in surprise.

Devian's red irises lit up as the glass cover disappeared. With a trembling hand Devian grabbed his wife's cheek, jerking ait an eye that had just descended from the wife's eyes. Devian gently wiped away Alice's tears.

"Don't cry, just wait a minute. I'll definitely find a way to get you back to me, whatever I do." Devian Murmuring.

*****

Alice was silent for a moment, she could feel a touch on her cheek. Although faint he could see the shadow of Devian's sad face.

"Yes.. Your Majesty!" He murmured with tears. "I'm sorry... " Surmured Alice sadly.

Alice's hands stretched out, trying to touch her husband's face. But, his fingers could not reach Devian's shadow. Make her crying explode again. Sobs came back from between her lips.

Alexis walked slowly into the territory of the demon palace owned by his father. Already several times he had entered the territory of the demon palace, unbeknownst to his father. At first he entered the demon palace to see his father, but he never met him. Sometimes Alexis enters the Devil world to train with Howen or just meet the elders who are always nice to him.

With quick steps Alexis passed through the streets of a city. Reddish skies, a city with old buildings with black rocks. Some demons passed by there like humans who were active. Alexis' footsteps halted before the large mansion automatically the black large gate shifted open, giving rise to the sound of iron squeaks on its hinges.

THE STORY IS CONNECTED BELOW

Upon reaching the front door of the mansion's main door, Howen immediately knocked on the door and before long the door opened.

"His Highness the Prince." Someone quickly bowed in respect.

"Where's Uncle Torn?" Alexis asked as she walked in, followed by Howen.

"Little prince, what brings you here?" Torn asked as he watched Alexis enter his mansion.

"I'm no longer a child, uncle." Alexis looks upset.

"Howen, how are you? Looks like our little prince is in a bad mood." Torn smiled at Howen.

"You'd better sit down." Torn.

Alexis sat down with her legs crossed and Howen immediately took a standing position to the right of Alexis. Alexis stared at Torn sharply. "What was my father planning?" Ask Alexis without saying anything.

For a moment Torn's expression hardened. "A.. What do you mean, Prince?"

"Dad hid my mom somewhere. You're one of uncle's father's confidants, where did you hide my mother? What's my dad planning?" Ask Alexis seriously.

"Hm.. " Torn cleared his throat, trying to hide his surprise. "I don't know either, I honestly just found out about you." Torn replied trying as calmly as possible.

"I think you know something. I can feel the presence of other demons in Aldwick Castle. Don't fool me Uncle. Although I'm only eight years old, but I'm half a demon." Alexis stared intently at Torn.

Torn glanced at Howen agitatedly. To be honest, he couldn't go against Devian's orders. But Alexis's a pretty stubborn kid. "Your mother's dying, that's all I know." Answer Torn briefly.

Alexis froze, taking a few seconds longer to digest the sentence she had just heard. "Se.. Dying off?" Alexis didn't believe it. "Why? What did you do until you were dying?" Alexis was full of anger.

"Prince, something happened and it's beyond His Highness Devian's ability. To be honest, Her Majesty is also trying to find a way to get Her Majesty back to health." Torn tried to calm Alexis down.

"I.. I'll save my mother myself." Clear tears restrained in Alexis' eyes, as hard as Alexis tried to hold it.

"Prince, you'd better come back. Before His Majesty Devian knows, you're out of the palace without permission." Torn reminded.

"I don't care. I'm not afraid of him." Alexis immediately stood up and glanced at Howen. "Howen, let's get out of here." Take Alexis.

Alexis immediately stepped out followed by Howen. Alexis went back down the road he had been passing with his face down. "Howen, what should I do? It all feels so heavy now." Alexis' voice sounded so desperate.

Howen looked at Alexis' back and slowly the man stretched out his arm and patted Alexis gently on the back.

Alexis turned to look at Howen and smiled. "You're the best Howen, you're the best." Alexis hugged the bodyguard as well as his loyal servant.

A small room, things were scattered everywhere. Broken plates, dented iron glasses and messy chairs. There was the sound of sobs coming from the bathroom in one of the rooms.

"Aleysia, calm yourself. If Rhodri can do our plan seamlessly, we'll return to the palace." sounds like an old man trying to calm his daughter.

"Then, what if your plan is revealed? Rhodriku will bear it all. Why don't you just go there?" Shouted Aleysia furiously with teary eyes.

"If you could, I would." Answer Bernett. "Again, we need something stored in Adrian's room. Without it we wouldn't be able to resurrect Adrian." Bernett tried to convince Aleysia.

"Listen, dad. If father's plan fails and Rhodri is in danger. I'll kill you with my own hands." Threatening Aleysia full of anger.

"Calm down, my daughter, everything's going to go well. I've asked someone in the palace to help and keep an eye on Rhodri." Bernett looked at his daughter with a big smile.

"Which office will help my son?" Aleysia asked in surprise, as she remembered that all State officials who sided with Adrian had been executed.

"Hm.. Actually he's just a waiter." Reply Bernett.

"What!!" Aleysia looked so surprised. "My son, you leave it to the waiter, is Dad crazy? He has absolutely no political power or forces protecting my son." Aleysia's anger at her father.

"But at least no one would suspect him." Bernett.

At night Alexis had just returned to the Eastern castle, lazily walking towards her bed and slamming her body on her bed.

"Howen, you can go. Rest up!" alexis' orders to his Servant.

Howen immediately saluted and went out of Alexis' room. Her blue iris watched the ceiling of the room sadly. "Mother, are you dreaming of me? Do you miss me too?" Alexis was sad. "Please wait, I'll save you." Alexis' eyes slowly closed, bringing her consciousness deep into the dream world.
