The Demon King's Daughter

Protector

"Who…?" Savilla tried to peek at the man. But he can't see anything. His eyes were glare and dizzy. "Ugh…"

"You. I was right." Savilla could hear Bryan's voice quite clearly.

"This is my last warning. Don't bother him anymore. Or I'm gonna need to punish you.." That's not Bryan's voice. But somehow, Savilla seemed to have heard of it.

"Why…?"

"……..Mine."

Huh uh? Did that guy say anything?

Savilla could see someone drifting towards them. Luckily, he avoided. But something hit Bryan and made him bounce back.

'It's fire! Fireball! And in a strange color! Crazy one!' Inner Savila.

"What are you doing standing there…?"

The mysterious man's voice spoke to him. Huh, what should he be?

"Hurry and get out of here.."

"Ah, that's right!" Savila immediately ran as long as bryan was still busy taking care of the man. Once again, he looked back and found out who his savior was.

But he couldn't see anything so dark.

In front of the alley, there was already a man who welcomed him.

"Miss, please follow me…"

Savilla was a bit irritated now, one by one strange people did not appear towards her, "You who?"

"You don't need to know. Just come with me."

"Uhh..," Savilla was getting ready to run away from the man but the man seemed to notice his movements and grabbed his hand, "What are you doing?! Let go or will I scream?!"

"Sadly, when we can make this easy for you…"

Savilla began to feel his consciousness slowly dissipate but before that his body seemed to go into a loop. Drawn into a strange dimension.

"Savilla, do you understand?" A woman asked the 7-year-old girl who was in front of her.

"Auntie?" The little boy was confused. Her aunt is not what she used to be today. Her aunt is acting strange sometimes. But now he looks like a frightened man.

"Do you understand?" The aunt asked impatiently.

"Uh..," Savilla tried to remember what her aunt said, "I don't understand it," Savilla shook her head.

Savilla looked at her aunt in confusion and curiosity.

"Never, though, ask the devil for help.Never be tempted by their seduction."

"Devil? You mean those ugly creatures on tv-tv and those horror movies?" Savilla recalled the spooky film she watched last week that depicted a demon-named creature that had an ugly and creepy look.

"Yes-No," the aunt hurriedly said, "They are not what you imagined. They may look like humans - or even like angels, but don't even fall into their masks."

"In that case, why can't I ask the devil for help?" Little Savilla did not understand. If the devil wasn't as creepy as in the movies. Why should he avoid them.

"Because they are evil beings!!" The aunt snapped once more, but not out of anger, more like panic and fear, "One of them has taken my sister…"

Savilla looked in wonder at her aunt who was seen in the midst of anger and sadness.

"Oh, dear Savilla," the aunt hugged the little girl, "I would have loved you so much, if only your mother hadn't left us both like this."

"My mom?" Savilla immediately felt interested, "Auntie knows my mother? Is the 'sister' that aunt meant my mother? Why would he leave me? What...the devil took it from us?"

"That's right. Therefore, promise me, never fall into their ruse. Never trust the devil."

"I promise!" Little Savilla immediately returned his aunt's embrace.

"But aunt..." Savilla said in their arms, "What if there's an evil demon bothering me…?"

"You must not be afraid. Pray to god. He will definitely send help and your guardian angel will definitely protect you. Did you know that everyone has their own guardian angel?"

"Do I have one too?" Savilla asked. The guardian angel sounded attractive to him

"certain. A good boy like you certainly has a guardian angel."

"Well, really? What is he like? What's-her-name? Male or female? He's a good guy, right? Because he's an angel he must be a good man!"

"Savilla, don't trust him either."

"What?"

"No, you can't trust anyone! Even if it's an angel! You can't! He's-"

"Prince!"

The aunt froze and immediately stopped her sentence. He turned back. His gaze followed Savilla who ran towards the little white cat and carried it.

"Prince, prince are you hungry? Do you want to play? Come here, I'll feed you and then we play! Today there's sardines!"

"Don't trust anyone.." His aunt spoke while looking at Savilla's back away with her cat.
