petty demon

part 6's

Alexis was standing in a barren place full of rocks. The sky was gray, making the atmosphere feel darker. A quiet place, maybe there's no one there. The cold filled the place. Slowly Alexis moved her legs, she stared warily at all directions. His feet stepped on something.

Alexis looked down at his leg, a skull head. Alexis took a few steps back in surprise. "Where is this?" Mumbled wailing. Alexis again circulated her gaze, hoping to find someone else there.

"Bracket in the valley of death, without faith you will be destroyed." whispers were heard from all directions.

Alexis turned around staring warily at the presence of others. "Who's there? Out y'all!" Shouted Alexis.

There was no answer, only the same sentence uttered by different voices alternating. The sound is getting faster.

"Prince... Princes... Princes... "

"Howen!!!" Shouted Alexis loudly.

When he regained consciousness, he was still in his big room. It appears Beryl is trying to wake Alexis up, and stares at the worried young prince.

"Prince! You're having nightmares?" Ask Beryl worried.

Sweat drenched Alexis' forehead. His breath was seen going up and down, like he had just run for miles. Alexis glanced at Beryl for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Auntie, what are you doing here?" Ask Alexis then.

"I'm just delivering your clothes, Prince. But, it seems you're having a bad dream." Beryl looked at Alexis worriedly.

"I'm fine. I rarely dream." Answer Alexis.

"Alright, then what the Prince wants me to help prepare warm water and breakfast. The warm water will calm you down." Beryl's Proposal.

"No, aunt. But can auntie call Howen here?"

"Of course, I'll be right back." Beryl immediately left Alexis' room.

*******

Someone had just opened a large door, footsteps could be heard echoing throughout the room, footsteps halted in front of the large window of the room.

Srakkkk...

The large window curtain opened immediately, allowing sunlight to burst into the room. Sunlight directly leads to the face of the occupant of the room who is sleeping soundly. His bed looked extremely messy, the man who had just entered was seen shaking his head.

"Ckckk... How could a prince sleep in this way? " he shakes in disbelief.

Rhodri who was sleeping was finally disturbed by the morning sun that penetrated the window of his room. Slowly he wriggled on his bed, reassembling every single piece of his consciousness. Rhodri rubbed both eyes expelling any drowsiness still lingering in her eyes.

"Who are you?" Rhodri asked as she looked at the figure of a man in his forties in front of her.

"I'm your waiter introduce my name Bill. I'll prepare your every need." Bill bowed in respect.

"So you'll serve me?" Rhodri asked looking at the servant in front of her arrogantly. "Well, then prepare breakfast for me!" Rhodri Order.

"You should clean up first, after that you can go to the dining room for breakfast with Prince Alexis." Obviously Bill.

"What?? I don't want to eat with him, I want my food to be prepared in my room." Rhodri answered harshly.

"Mr Rhodri, you better take care of your attitude before I tell your grandfather that you're unruly." Bill stared hard at Rhodri. "Do as I say and all plans will go well."

Rhodri was silent for a moment looking at the servant before her.

"So, what are you waiting for is get ready soon." Bill's orders.

*****

Alexis walked down the corridor in her castle, she seemed to be thinking hard.

"Howen, have you ever dreamed?" Alexis looked at Howen.

"I rarely sleep, after all I'm not human so the dream I saw was a signal that something might happen." Howen looked at Alexis. "Are you having nightmares again?" Tanya Howen was worried.

"No, I'm just curious." Alexis smiled wryly trying to hide her anxiety.

"Howen, should I go back to Corfe and tell grandfather everything. Maybe grandpa will understand and help me." Alexis looked at Howen.

"I think it'll just make things worse." Howen gave his opinion.

"You're right, I have to arrange everything neatly. I won't let him take my mother." Alexis took a loaf of bread and put it in her mouth.

DraKKkkp...

The door opened, two people entered the dining room with relaxed steps. Alexis continued to eat him regardless of their presence and continued his breakfast. Bill who was standing behind Rhodri gestured for Rhodri to greet Alexis.

"Good morning Prince Alexis." Rhodri tries to greet Alexis as decently as possible.

"Howen, I'm done." Alexis had just finished sipping a glass of her milk and put the empty glass back on the table.

Alexis immediately stood up from his chair and Howen immediately pulled the chair back. "Come, go!! Today my class schedule is tight, right?"

Alexis walked regardless of Rhodri's presence. When they cross paths Rhodri tries to stop Alexis. "You're ignoring me?" Rhodri asked offended.

Alexis stood still not answering not even a single glance at Rhodri. "Howen, I want to go now." Alexis glanced at Howen behind him.

"Okay, Prince." Howen nodded in understanding.

Alexis was about to step away but Rhodri quickly grabbed Alexis' collar in annoyance. "Don't talk like you're in charge!" Rhodri was angry.

Howen drew his sword and pointed it right at Rhodri's hand he was already preparing to slash the teenager's hand. "Wahhh, you're ready to lose both hands apparently." Alexis smiled triumphantly.

"Prince, don't do that." Bill tries to stop Alexis from.

"Howen, hold on!!" Alexis's orders. "Give me a reason why I shouldn't cut off his hand." Alexis looked at Bill. "Take your filthy hands off me!!" Alexis' orders to Rhodri.

"Hurry up and let go, Mr Rhodri!" Bill frantically orders Rhodri to remove Alexis's collar.

"No, arrogant boy seems to have to be taught a lesson. He must know who to deal with. Without this slave beside him he's just trash in this palace." Rhodri stared fiercely at Alexis.

"You'll regret having said it." Alexis brushed off Rhodri's hand violently and pushed Rhodri's larger body away from him easily.

Rhodri staggered off, but she was able to keep her balance so as not to fall on the floor. Angrily Rhodri approached Alexis and was about to throw a fist at the boy. Alexis dodged easily, held Rhodri's arm and twisted his hand.

"Ohhhh..." Rhodri screamed in pain.

And in closing Alexis kicked Rhodri until the teenager fell to the floor. "Don't look down on me, actually you're even worse than trash." Alexis quickly walked away from Rhodri. "Howen, let's get out of here, before I do anything worse." Alexis quickly walked away.

"Aiden, what did that kid do today? Has he been acting again?" Devian looked at Aiden sharply.

"Sa.. I think the Prince did all right." Report Aiden.

"Don't defend him. I know he left the palace yesterday." Devian stared out the window of his room.

Aiden lowered his head in not wanting to make Devian know his current facial expression. To be honest he doesn't want Alexis and Devian's relationship to get worse.

"I'm going to the demon palace for a few days, you know what you have to do." Devian looked at Aiden trying to get the bodyguard's approval, who was now his advisor.

"Would you postpone His Majesty, Mr. Rhodri's presence in the palace could lead to other problems." Aiden looked at Devian who seemed oblivious to him.

"I can't wait any longer." Devian looked at Aiden. "If it continues like this I will really lose him." The look in Devian's eyes dimmed the sadness now seen on the young King's face.

"Your Majesty, give the Prince a chance to explain everything to him if you explain...."

"No !! I won't let him near my Alice. He made Alice lie down as she is now. Tell everyone if my wife has died and at all times listen to their babble about remarrying. Never tell the boy about Alice's whereabouts. I don't need his help." Devian looked at Aiden furiously.

"It's up to you Your Majesty, but I want to remind you that you can't do everything at once."

Devian let out a heavy sigh, right which Aiden said. When he had to go find a cure for Alice, he had to leave his wife. But, on the other hand he wants to stay by Alice's side protecting him from all the things that might endanger his wife.

"I'll check on Prince Alexis." Aiden saluted before finally exiting the Devian room.
