Chapter 13: Chapter 13
Chapter 13
"My lady, I will reveal to you the truth, the secret that our noble household has been hiding from all. As the future of the household, it is your right to know of this so I shall reveal it to you."
She said in a tone that looked like she was announcing it to herself.
She passed me the book in the leather parchment that she took before running away from my father's desk.
I gave her a confused look as to why she passed me this book as she explained.
"This book contains the history of my lady's noble household since it was formed to now and has been maintained for generations by the head of the house itself. It will answer all the questions my lady has in her mind."
Nodding to her, I opened the book that looked quite old as the pages had long since become yellow and gave out a scent indicating its high quality.
I read slowly… skipping minor details, I tried to read as much as I could, all the main points.
The night passed by as I didn't sleep, more like I couldn't sleep due to the absurd information the book contained.
The book was truly a historical record containing every answer I needed.
I closed the book and looked at the ceiling of the small room which was quiet.
I didn't know what to say after all I have read.
The thing is that my intuition was right, we were a family of criminals, or more like we were regarded as one at least.
Demon King Derkila aka Delkira is the one demon king of the demon world, a very powerful and influential demon.
His current whereabouts are unknown although.
He became the demon king of the demon world by winning the Great War.
He had many powerful demons under him as his subordinates who along with him crushed all the rebellious forces and finally conquered the demon world with an iron fist.
He was an absolute, his orders were to be followed by all demons no matter how ridiculous or unreasonable they were, it could be seen from the fact that if everyone in the demon world decided to follow the Right direction but if Delkira said to "Go straight", then even if there was no road leading straight, the demons would follow the Demon King's will, creating a path for themselves.
It's not that he plunged the demon world into chaos, despite being so tyrannical, rivers in the sky, flower fields in lava, such unbelievable things created the demon world.
Now, what this all had to do with her family being criminals?
As mentioned above, even after seeing the monstrous strength and influence of Delkira, there were still demons who did not accept him and they banded together to rebel against him with their army.
But as history records, the rebels were either crushed and eliminated or tamed to serve as Delkira's subordinates.
My family was one of the noble families who revolted against the demon king's rule.
Although it was mentioned in this book I was reading that Delkira was a pure evil being made of malice, he was tyrannical and chaotic, irrational and unreasonable but I don't believe that fully, I would be a fool to trust everything blindly after all.
My family was a family of dark magic users who were extremely powerful masters of black magic and fought well and gave the demon king's army a tough time.
But it was all for naught as the demon king single-handedly started killing our family.
He stated that our family's bloodline was cursed and needed to be eliminated from its roots for the better of the demon world.
Utter bullshit in my opinion.
Who was he to decide who was cursed and who was not, it was mentioned in later pages of the book that Delkira was fearful of the enormous potential our bloodline bore as it was not just some random skill that our bloodline had but instead full control over darkness.
If allowed to grow any more, there was bound to be someone from the family to counter Delkira in the future but due to the war at that time, resources were limited and young talents died daily on battlefields.
I felt anger boil within me as I read more and more, something inside me told me to tear apart the demon king with my claws and feast upon his blood.
It was as if the blood flowing inside me was roaring in anger and sadness reading about how his ancestors were murdered.
I snapped back as I had sweat rolling down my forehead… it was as if I had entered my evil cycle but to the extreme, I never had experienced such a rage bubble inside me.
Fortunately, a few of our family members survived the wrath of the demon king at that time.
Seeing as how their once comrades were turning their backs and becoming Delkira's pets, they had no choice but to flee as Delkira would never allow them to exit nor take them as his subordinates knowing that they could grow stronger and may even rise to his level and backstab him.
The demon king knew some of the direct bloodline members had escaped and put the chase on them.
His subordinates hunted our family for generations eliminating whoever was found and it has been like that for a very long, never giving us a chance to grow.
The police department head Azazel Henri, a member of the 13 crowns was one of the loyalist people under the demon king so naturally, the police were after us as well.
I didn't know what to do, all of my family must be dead by now leaving me alone.
I don't even know if they know that I exist or not.
I think I should wait for the maid to come back and then discuss with her the plans.
The maid who ran with me was out to get us some supplies and maps so that we can depart somewhere far but…
She had been gone for too long.
I need to stay strong….
