♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱ •⋅ Calisto ⋅• ♱I was looking for Abbadon and Loren among the people while sitting on the throne and a second later... Asra was in front of me.She had lost her mind, I knew! Being close to that thing was not safe.'It was my fault, I should have stopped it, I should have insisted that she give up that stupid idea of bringing the saint...'"WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO TREAT HER AS YOUR OWN?" Asra screamed and I stared at her in surprise."Asra?" I called her, trying to wake up the phoenix that was always by my side, that damn trance, but it didn’t work."WHO LET YOU DELIVER MY ELAINE TO THE CRAZY DRUG?"What the hell was she talking about? Yours? What did that thing do to her?"Duchess!" I tried to reason with her as I rose from the throne and now, the one in front of me didn’t even look like Asra.It was not the elegant phoenix I knew, there was no grace that always possessed in his movements. She was harsh, furious, she was like a deadly weapon and maybe it was be
♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱ •⋅ Asmodeus ⋅• ♱"Shit" I mumbled "Do you want to die?"Asra was not even paying attention to me, she stared at the back of the platinum thing that, by chance, sighed."You were impulsive," the thing muttered and Calisto, who looked at both of them with that annoying potato face, seemed FINALLY to understand what was happening."I..." Asra looked at the floor."You were dumb, now undo the fucking sealing.""Sealing?" she blinked and only then realized."Do you think this little theater has convinced anyone? Do you think this will pass?" Calisto grumbled with his hands down his throat "what the hell happened to you, Asra?"He seemed lost and at the same time confused."Boring' I thought and leaned on the throne."The dance will end here, Bel has already ordered everyone to disperse... so why not stop this Grrrrr clowning... I’m the king! And we go to our rooms? Tomorrow you talk" I tried to mediate, but Asra shot Calisto with her eyes."I don’t talk to smug idiots,"
♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱"Sorry..." I whispered as Elaine closed the door behind us.I had been impulsive, had been stupid, but when Samael - the angel who was able to torture even his brothers -, told me in front of me that Callisto had "allowed" him to take Elaine the next day... - it was like hearing that the king had surrendered the saint to the gallows."Asra..." she called me and I shuddered."I am so sorry...""Stop apologizing," she muttered."But..." I raised my face to face her. She was definitely mad, I could see even if she hadn’t taken off her mask - I ruined her prom...Elaine sighed, a sigh too long."Asra, it was your prom.""But...""Asra..." her fingers touched my mask and I felt my eyes burn.I was a mess.It had become a complete mess from the moment I realized what I was doing and in my head, Asra laughed, laughed."Stupid human, you really can be fun!" she’d say with laughter, and I didn’t know how to feel.I knew the weight of my actions, I knew it well because for m
♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱ •⋅ Elaine ⋅• ♱Asra cried like a child.No.It’s not right to say that. The person who looked like that Asra - cried like a child without comfort."It’s okay" I said again and again as she clung to me, but even though she (whoever she was) wasn’t Asra..., it didn’t bother me.When the day came, his eyes were swollen and red."I’m sorry..." she muttered as she stared at my soaked dress and I couldn’t help laughing.My fingers caressed her cheek and then her lips."It’s okay..." I repeated again and she smiled, a smile that clearly screamed "I know it’s not"."Elaine" she called me and even though she was anything but something I knew, I smiled and felt my stupid heart skip a beat "you don’t need to console me anymore..."I stared."Don’t you want me to... stay here?" The words came out blunt, it was so hard to ask that, especially when I was afraid the answer was yes."NO!" She said standing up quickly, standing in front of me "I... I... I..." bit her lip hard "I’m
♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱ •⋅ Loren ⋅• ♱I stared at Dad as he lay in bed with a huge storybook."Daddy?""Hi, dear," he answered me with a smile."You look sad... Dad. Did something happen?"His mouth opened, but then it closed."I just remembered that I have a lot of accumulated work" he lied.Dad was a liar.I sighed."Does that mean you won’t read to me tomorrow?"He denied it with his head."No matter how busy I may be, I’ll still be here to put you to sleep."Smile.He’d probably only do it for three or four days, but still... I was happy."Really?""Even" he said and I snuggled up to him when I finished buttoning my pajamas."Loren" he called me "what did you... think of the dance?"I pressed the ribbon that was still on my wrist, tied to it - as the blond boy had left.Smile."It was amazing, like a fairy tale," I said and Dad’s face seemed to become happier."How nice... I thought I might have gotten tired," he said and stroked my hair."No!" I hurried to say "I danced with Abbadon!
♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱"I said... the person I like is you."Elaine had said, but those words seemed too difficult to get into my mind.What?Me?What?When?How?Elaine...My eyes widened wide.When I had become so stupid? It was living with Callisto, - how did Asmodeus always mock? Was it the need to deny myself my feelings for Elaine?It was obvious she liked me.It was obvious in her gaze, in her requests that I not go away when I had a nightmare.I was so worried about keeping myself safe, about correcting Callisto’s future - about stopping Azrael, stopping Miguel, changing... -, I focused so much on those things I treated as a priority, that I forgot the most important part: Elaine.The Demon King’s Sacrifice - was a work of romance, a novel with more than 400 chapters that described the whole story of Elaine and as much as we had the chance to see a few chapters by the vision of other characters... It was Elaine who was considered the center, the core of the script. Everything beg
♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱ •⋅ Elaine ⋅• ♱"Why are you crying?" I was not able to not ask and the tearful eyes that so much resembled two grenades stared at me."Because... I am happy."She said as she sniffed and as she had done so many times, I dried her tears with lingering kisses all over her face. I felt her cheeks warm with each kiss and when I walked away to face the feared duchess, she looked more like a blushing child."When did you become so unfair?" she muttered as her arms wrapped around my hip.Smile."I don’t know... I think knowing that you’re in love with me... makes me safe, confident, happy..." I muttered, feeling my face blush and Asra’s lips arched upwards seductively."My Elaine is really amazing" she whispered with her face next to mine and I could feel my heart miss too many beats for my own good, my lungs forget the proper way to pump air and what was left of blood in my body... just went straight up to my face.Hearing her talk like that and so conscious... wasn’t go
♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱"It wasn’t so bad" Asmodeus said as he leaned on my shoulder "think well, it could be worse."My eyes closed tightly.I didn’t want Elaine to have to be near Samael, but all I got was a crude "pardon" from Calisto for what happened at the dance and a "possible permission" for the saint to remain by my side.He had not really looked at my face, had not addressed the word to me, but to Asmodeus."I didn’t quite understand why I had to come" I grumbled and Asmodeus laughed."No? It was Callisto’s expression, of course."I raised one of my eyebrows."You made me come just for that?"The blond demon laughed."Unfortunately not, but... it helps him to feel guilty and miserable.""Guilty and miserable, huh?"Asmodeus nodded his head."Calisto cannot help that what you said was an incontestable truth. Do you think he agreed to "collaborate" for some other reason?"I took a deep breath.Callisto and Asmodeus' conversation was based on threats from the prince and rebuttals f
