On the next day, Rudeth and Devon went together to the Kingdom early in the morning. The carriages were all full with the prisoners including Lady Feya. The journey took about six hours until they finally arrived in the Kingdom.The King’s men excused themselves to bring all the prisoners to their dungeon. In front of the kingdom’s palace, a man was waiting for Rudeth arrival. He looked so formal with those noble costume and that shiny accessories.“Welcome, Baron Rudeth. I am Hudson. I will guide you to have an audience with the King.” Hudson introduced himself. His politeness somewhat made Devon felt uneasy. Devon could feel that that guy was looking down on him.Hudson guided Rudeth and Devon while giving them a simple tour. The palace was so big and luxurious.

Devon and Rudeth was on their way to go back to Wenovitch Duchy. One of the King’s minister, Hudson joined up with them because he got a task from the King. Hudson told Rudeth and Devon the purpose of his visit to Wenovitch duchy was to find something that could be useful to decide the best candidate to be the new Duke. Rudeth and Devon said that they would help him out once they got there.“Anyway, I think you guys are so lucky. I have seen how Duke Conrad achieved many things in the past. He was such a great paladin. Knowing that he was defeated by the likes of you was indeed very amazing. I bet you guys have outstanding force.” Hudson expressed his opinion while trying to praise Rudeth and Devon. However, deep inside, Hudson seemed dissatisfied. He expected Rudeth and Devon defeated Duke Conrad elegantly by making use of their brain more than using brute force.That opinion got into Devon’s nerve because he could feel that this damn minister was still looking down at him. “Thank yo
Without waiting any longer. Hudson requested that he would return to the Kingdom on the next day.

This is an order! Make the announcement and get ready for the coronation!” The King has ordered.Soon everyone started to get busy with their tasks. Devon and Rudeth was given a message from the King.

The village in the outskirt part of Ettalia town was busy, bustling with life and vigorous activities of the villagers. It was nothing to wonder about, because during this time everybody was focused on reaping what they sowed. Yes, it was harvest time, a moment that was celebrated by the residents with a relieved and joyful expressions. Though the lands they worked on was not theirs to begin with, at least they already secured the food stocks and supplies for the upcoming season. They wouldn’t have to worry about what to eat in the winter, as the landlord would give them their share of collecting the crops in his behalf.Devon’s family was also a part of that annual event. Together they tirelessly gathered the fruits and vegetables which grew so abundantly this year.“Brother, look! This pumpkin is very big! Even bigger than all other pumpkins around!” shouted a young girl to Devon. “With this, I can eat pumpkin soup everyday like I always dream of!”“Hahaha! You’re right, Vinette! Th
The shrill scream of a little girl's heart-rending resounded, bouncing off the rocks on the basement walls of a luxurious mansion in Ettalier, a city in the country of Gazella.The sound of smacking and thumping punches landed on the skinny body of a teenage boy, alternated with the girl's moans which became more and more heartbreaking."Noo, it hurts! Please stop!" The little girl's screams filled the basement, followed by the sound of the men panting behind the girl.“Screw you all!” the boy roared but fell silent again as punches and kicks returned to his body.“Brother, help me! They all hurt me!” the little girl screamed again."Shut up, little slave! This is your punishment!" yelled the voice of a grown man who was still seen swinging the black whip at the dirty little girl's tiny body."Bastard! Let go of my sister! Vinette, hold on, big brother will..." The teenager's words stopped when his stomach received a kick from a young man who was wearing clothes that were far more lux
Hoxha ordered the two men who had been holding Devon's body to drag him to the corner of the room where the water faucet was.One of the men filled a wooden bucket with a rusty handle with water to the brim. Meanwhile, another man stripped Devon of his clothes so that the teenager's body was naked.Hoxha studied the scars and bruises on the teenager's body while shaking his head. He was still not willing if his Young Master made a sacrifice that was not maximal on the night of his initiation.The splash of a bucket of cold water on his innocent body sent Devon back to reality. The horrific scene of the massacre committed against his entire family flashed through his head again.Devon screamed and struggled violently when the waves of reality hit him again until the burly man who was bathing him was forced to hold the emaciated teenager's body with his knees to stop Devon from struggling."Calm down, Kid. Just surrender and all your suffering will end," said Hoxha in a soft voice as he
Devon repeated the wrong spell in his heart because he couldn't make a sound. Devon didn't care whether the creatures he didn't know existed had heard of him or not.He was just trying his best to seek help from any entity that could help him in exchange for whatever the creature wanted."Please, help me out of here and I will give you whatever you ask for," Devon said in his heart."Are you going to give us whatever we ask for? Isn't it just your worthless silly soul?" a deep voice suddenly spoke inside Devon's head.Devon flinched for a moment, but finally, bravely, he dared to answer."Yes! I'll give you everything you want! So get me out of here.""Hmmm, Lucy did you hear what the boy said? Compared to that tackily dressed boy, I prefer an honest boy like this," said the deep voice earlier."Belphy, you're talking to a boy who's about to be sacrificed," Lucifer rebuked Belphegor."But what he said has some truth in it. The boy in the red hooded costume is nothing compared to this
