"Your Majesty, we have brought Prince Zeliker to meet you," Gizelis told Sektar while kneeling on one knee.
He and Silvert already explained to Zeliker about Elamos' request that he go to Drick and let him meet Sektar for more details.
"Thank you, Gizelis. How are you, Zeliker?" Sektar asked.
He was sitting in his throne room. Beside him were Dasu and six royal guards.
"A little jiffy. I heard that King Elamos invited me to Drick." Zeliker replied while folding his hands.
When he entered the throne room again, he shuddered and thought this hall was haunted. If not, why would he bleed a lot of time when he just appeared there?
But, then again, it was only two times and it seems it was intermittently between the time he entered. Let's check again.
The first time he came to this throne hall and was injured by Hoogles. The second time he has returned after the human trafficking and everything seems normal. Next, he got injured again becau
"We have arrived at the border between our kingdoms and theirs," Gizelis stated when they arrived in a city with walls at the end of the city."Athier City. It is one of the twelve cities' border defences." Xcerox told Zeliker who was riding a horse beside him.Almost all of them rode a horse and coming along was a few wagons. The wagons will be used for carrying the demons in the Drick Kingdom back to the Eskimos Kingdom later.Zeliker understands why the city was there. The residents weren't just having normal people living in it but also soldiers guarding and walking around the city. "Your Highness Xcerox, welcome to Athier City. It has been a while since we last met." A man in a gorgeous suit went near them. He also kneeled to one knee. He has light brown hair with the same colour as his eyes. His height was about 1.8 metres. Beside him, there were several soldiers with weapons, also kneeling to Xcerox."Rise," Xcerox said. "Commander Hein, it has been a while. How's your wife?
Zeliker and Silvert move fast at lightning speed. First, they appear near the house where they sense Hien's aura. They also sensed lots of left demon auras that were going to disappear soon. The demon auras seem to belong to the thief and kidnapper because Zeliker and Silvert can feel it was not the demon aura that comes regularly into the house, which was Hein’s soldiers.Zeliker doesn’t have his attention on the auras with big lines that can be seen from his demon eyes. He was focusing on the auras of a thin line that he guessed belonged to the baby. Moreover, his heightened nose can smell the baby milky smell and powder.“That way.” Zeliker vanished and was followed by Silvert who sensed it too. They run to the southeast. Along the way, they met with several Hein soldiers who were searching for the baby trails. Unfortunately, the trails end somewhere near a river. Zeliker and Silvert passed them. The human soldiers didn’t notice it but the demon soldier felt some people pass by.
“Urgh… Where am I?” Trez slowly blinked his eyes and looked around the room he was in.He never thought he would still be alive. His hand went to his neck when he felt some kind of soft material on it. His eyes snapped open wide when he couldn't feel the steel collar anymore.“Wha, What? I’m… I’m free?” He felt unbelievable and touched all over his neck.“Ah, you have awakened. Thank goodness.” Someone said to him.Trez turns his head to a door that looks like the entrance to this room.“Who are you?” He asked with a cautious look.“Silvert. But it’s not me who rescued you from your death.” Silvert went near Trez's bed.“Then, who is it? I… I need to thank them then…”He still remembered what he did and slight anger rose when he thought about his defeat in a human hand.“You can thank him later. He is sort of busy right now.” Silvert then snapped his hand and a tray of meals appeared near the small cabinet beside Trez's bed.“You’re free now. Do you have anywhere you wish to go? I ca
"Zeliker, I have not changed. I still hate demons from the bottom of my heart. They are the reason that I lost my queen and my daughter." Elamos told something about his past.Astonishment, pity and guilt could be seen in Zeliker's eyes after he heard it."How did… They die…?" He asked in a low voice while lowering his eyes.Elamos lips slowly curve into a sad smile."I was betrayed by the one I consider a best friend. It happened around fifteen years ago and is the reason I hate demons so much. I only have two children. She was the youngest. And Zelfon, you have met him. He was the oldest."Elamos retold his past and he still couldn't forget the day his wife and her daughter passed away. Listening to the story made Zeliker's eyes turn sorrowful. He knew how much pain it was to lose someone. He too… Had lost his mother…'But the one who killed her was…''Zeliker grit his teeth hard. Then, shook his head harshly. 'The past was the past. Nothing can change it anymore. It must be the re
The same night that Zeliker was requested to unite the humans' and demons' kingdoms, he and all his friends including Trez and the group of slaves gathered in the mansion dining hall in the dimension. The slaves were forced to sit since they feel inferior. Why? Because there was a gap in ranking between them and Zeliker, the royal demon. They felt it was wrong to sit and so were forced to sit by Silvert. Only Enta looked normal, well, he was always disrespectful, whether you were royals or not. Zeliker felt Enta's hateful gaze but he could see Enta had almost reached the gate to upgrade his rank from the lowest to the middle rank. Such a thing to happen was unusual and not many demons can do that. For example, Silvert. He had become a high-rank demon from the middle rank after the latter was taught by Zeliker and also because of his hard work. Zeliker then ignored Enta and looked at his friends one by one. Xcerox and Miulwess have their seats closed to him where he sat at the
The next morning, Zeliker and Silvert woke early before the sky brightened and went for a run around the city. Zeliker has been doing the morning exercise since he realised he wasn’t strong enough. Silvert eyed him with a dumbfounded expression after hearing his complaints. He quietly thought, if Zeliker feels he wasn’t strong, how about those who were a level lower than him. Stronger Zeliker means their gaps were getting much further. For that reason, he would come along to do the morning exercise along with Zeliker.“Silvert, do you know that our ability has different levels of power?” Zeliker asked while they were on the way to return to the palace.“Aren’t our powers based on our ranking?” Silvert was confused.“No. I heard my father say before that I was only at the end of the Foundation Establishment Stage. I just remembered it now. Does that mean there were also stages for power? I wanted to ask him but I couldn’t get close to him. You know that… Right?” Zeliker's eyes slowly
Zelfon was speechless after looking at Xcerox. He flinches when Xcerox starts to get near him and glowers at him."Why have you never told me any of this?!" He asked in a small yell.Zelfon could not understand for a moment. Was Xcerox asking about the past or his well-being?He moved his body to sit and felt a tinge of pain in his head. It seems just like before, the scramble memories were still unable to piece together. The pain was hidden by his expressionless face."What now, Xcerox? Clearly, you have never allowed me to explain. Why after seeing me like this that you felt the need to ask? I have nothing to say to you. Please leave." Zelfon turned paler because of the incoming headache. He didn't want to have a further conversation because it was pointless. It will become worse like always. He knows he was unable to tell Xcerox anything because he can't remember the past.Moreover, it felt like he did see a boy get killed but the blood and scattered pearls along with the screamin
“Welcome to our base, Zelfon. You can reach us all in Eskimos quickly through here.” Xcerox shows the mansion in the dimension after opening the door through his keychain.Zelfon was surprised by the mansion’s look. It was magnificent and richer than he thought.“Ah, but Your Highness, all of it is a copy made by Silvert’s power. It’s not real.” Gizelis told him truthfully.“Copy made?! These are copy made?!” Zelfon was shocked.“Yes.” Nish chuckled.“What’s the meaning of those colours?” After calming down, Zelfon noticed the half-lamp on each door had different colours.Xcerox explained it to him about it. “... So make sure you don't open the wrong door.” He warned.“I understand.”Xcerox brings Zelfon to the dining hall on the next floor above them. Zelfon chose his room next to the kitchen. Then, Zeliker was found to be exiting from the red-lamp door. Silvert behind him.“Zeliker, Silvert, where have you been? We’re going to move out soon.” Xcerox said to them.The demons in the
