Chapitre 10: The Reason His Power Is Deteriorating

"Hey, wake up…"

Louisanna moved her head a bit as she felt like someone was slapping her cheeks lightly. It didn't hurt, but it was enough for her to wake up from her peaceful slumber— If it could even be counted as a peaceful slumber despite her vivid nightmare.

"Hmm?" She opened her eyes lightly, but she immediately closed them again as the lights from the window of the bus started to hurt her eyes.

"Aw," she even complained as she placed her fingers on her forehead, massaging it a bit.

She attempted to open her eyes slowly so it wouldn't feel like the lights were attacking her sight, and it worked, although it felt like her head was getting pounded as she couldn't deal with the sudden noise on the bus, and the middle-aged woman who was talking to her as well.

"You're in front of your university," a woman told her as she pointed her index finger at the window.

"I based it on your uniform and thought that you would be late to school if I didn't wake you up. My daughter's always like that as well," she even added and laughed a bit.

That's the time she realized she has a class for today, and without the woman's help, she would need to cross the streets again dangerously as she would have an imaginary running competition with her professor.

"Oh, crap!" she cursed herself unconsciously as she looked at her wristwatch.

She sighed in relief as she saw that she still had ten minutes before the first subject started.

'Why did I nap while I'm on the bus? Crap, Louisanna!' she preached herself as she fixed her uniform and her bag on her back.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Louisanna told the woman as she bowed down a bit as a sign of gratitude and appreciation.

"No worries." The woman smiled back and gave her a thumbs up. "Good luck, Louisanna."

Louisanna raised an eyebrow as she called her name, but the woman pointed at her identification card, telling her indirectly that it was the reason why she knew her name.

"Ooh, I see."

Louisanna laughed at her stupidity as she turned her ID card so no one would be able to read it, and after that, she went out of the bus and carefully crossed the streets— legally this time as she waited for the traffic lights to turn red before walking.

Louisanna can still remember everything, from the moment she woke up earlier until she sat down on the bus, and also, she could remember Domhall who suddenly went in front of her and brought her to a different place.

She thought she'd feel the hairs on her skin go up because of that, but prior to what she thought, she sighed in relief.

She was glad that it was a dream, after all. Although everything that happened was mind-blowing, there's a part of her that wants to remember all of it.

Meanwhile, on Inferno, Domhall's face grimaced as he was watching Louisanna on the fire in front of him. It was like a mirror where he can see what was happening in the other world.

This is what he liked about his power. He could summon almost anything using fire, as it was the source of his strength. He can even make a fire comb on it, or a fire cake, which may look so weird yet satisfying.

He thought that he had made himself strong after all those years he spent in Inferno as the demon king, but because of Louisanna, an ordinary girl he just wanted to play with at first, his confidence drastically decreased.

He could also feel that his powers started to deteriorate, the same as the authority he once had.

He can say that Louisanna Lohengrin is an expert at making him doubt himself, especially on what happened today. Luckily, Louisanna thought that she was just dreaming when he took her on one of the dimensions going to hell.

He needed to bring her to one of his territories to make sure his power won't be drained, but Louisanna was something.

He wasn't able to erase her memory. In fact, he even had a permanent scar on his hand which he used to hold her cheek. His self-healing power doesn't even work, even in his own place.

It would take days to heal, and he would need to absorb more negative energies so he could make up for his lost powers.

"Are you sure of what you said, Ellaine?" As he stood up on her throne and waved his hand so he could see the moon and the stars shining brightly, he talked to Ellaine who was sitting on the couch while fixing her make-up.

"Hmm?" she answered as she took a glance at him, but it didn't last for a second as she focused her attention on her hand, putting eyeliners on the top of her right eye.

"Are you sure that I'm powerful?" Domhall asked her in a confused and low tone.

He didn't avoid his gaze on the moon, which Ellaine found strange because he knew Domhall for a long time— even back from where he was born, not as a multi-billionaire CEO, but in the previous generations and reincarnations, he couldn't even remember.

He hated the moon because he believed that the eclipse was the main reason why he became the demon king… which is right.

Now that Domhall was staring at it like the moon was giving him a sense of calmness he never had before, was enough for Ellaine to stop putting her make-up on as she folded her other hand to close her compact mirror.

"I'm certain," she answers in a convincing tone before looking at him. "Why do you ask?"

"Then…" Domhall stopped looking at the sky as he waved his hand for the second time. Now, the sky was now covered by a huge black roof. "Why are my memory manipulation skills not working?"

"What? Why did you use that?" Ellaine raised a brow as she placed her make-up in her small bag. "Did you eat someone's soul?" She even chucked as she asked that question.

"No," Domhall responded immediately before shaking his head as he walked in front of the mini-fire lake. "I used that on someone with white hair," he added as he didn't know that Ellaine was fully aware of Louisanna's existence.

Chapitre 11: The Majesty's Response

The white-haired person Domhall said earlier rang a bell for Ellaine. She felt her heart skip a bit as she wasn't aware that those two people had encountered already.

She stood up and made a whimpered expression when she turned her body on Domhall who was staring at himself on the mini-fire lake.

"You need to stay away from her, Domhall!" she shouted in panic as fear consumed her body. "I'm currently monitoring her, so let me take care of this, okay?"

Domhall, on the other hand, was busy looking at his facial features as he noticed that his burned skin in his demon form subsided a little bit, but his brows furrowed immediately when he heard how Ellaine shouted at him, and how the sinners who heard her gasped in amusement because of what she did.

In an instant, Domhall turned his head in Ellaine's direction, with his dark and deadly gaze, as he extended his hand with his hand slightly folded— which has enough space for Ellaine's neck to fit in.

"Ah!"

Without Ellaine knowing, she immediately floated from where she was standing, and she found herself going in Domhall's direction, and after that, his hand was already on her neck, gripping it which gave her the fear she never had before.

"Shout at me again, and you won't be able to reincarnate, not even as a cockroach," Domhall told her in a commanding tone as he cracked his neck a bit, trying not to let anger consume his body.

She gulped hard as she saw how deadly the gaze Domhall was thrown at her, and how dark the aura he had all over his body.

This is the first time she saw him have this kind of rage.

Even his imperial horns were sparkling as fire surrounded every part of it, while his other hand was creating an immense power of fire in it. She could even feel the heat of the fire he created, which was the first time she experienced it.

"Ack!" Ellaine couldn't speak as she felt how Domhall's grip on her neck tightened to the point that the air couldn't even reach her.

She almost ran out of breath as she held his arms using both of her hands, trying to beg for her life.

Domhall threw her onto the floor and Ellaine gasped for air while holding her neck. She felt a large decrease in her power as Domhall was unconsciously consuming it.

She forgot that Domhall can even get his source of power on any people, even on devils like her.

Ellaine was in a large daze as Domhall moved his hand again, and in a split second, Domhall had her neck again as he pushed her onto the wall.

Her back hurt a lot because of that, but she couldn't dare to speak even just one word as some of his veins, which were already colored black, showed up on his neck and arms.

"If you want to be my spirit guide for a long time, then shut the fuck up," the King commanded, and his voice echoes all over the place. "I am your king, and you'll just answer my damn questions and not give me your useless advice. I don't fucking need it."

"Y-Yes, my king." Ellaine just nodded.

Domhall could feel her body shaking in fear and pain. He closed his eyes as he let go of her for the second time and immediately went back to his throne.

Ellaine could even hear his feet stomping as the whole place was in silence. Even the sinners couldn't make a scene. They're afraid that they would catch Domhall's attention, so they just stay in their places.

"The majesty may give you the power that you have, but where are you? At my territory," Domhall even added to say as the fire surrounding the inferno went bigger. "This is my place. You're the one who made me like this."

Ellaine thought that he was finished speaking as he placed both of his hands onto his pants, but her eyes widened when Domhall spoke about something she never thought would come out of his mouth.

"On top of that, don't you dare lay your hands on her," he commanded in an intimidating tone. "I'm the one to deal with her."

"Why?" Ellaine stood up even though her knees were weak and trembling. "Why are you being like this— Ah!"

"You're not taking me seriously, aren't you?"

She bit her lower lip as her feet were floating. Domhall wasn't holding him, but his powers were too much she could feel his power burning onto her skin.

When she looked at her hand, her face grimaced in horror as her long, slender fingers were starting to look like a skeleton. And aside from it being ugly in her eyes, the feeling was also painful, as the word pain was an understatement for what she felt.

"One more question and I won't hesitate to snap your neck," he told her before he closed his eyes for a second as Ellaine fell hard on the floor. "Get out of my sight."

After that, Ellaine immediately teleported to another dimension where the majesty is currently hiding. Like her son, Domhall, the majesty was also powerful and had fire as its source of strength.

The only difference was that she was caged onto this place because of that power. So, that power had gone to waste as the only place where she could use it was in this place. This black, quiet, and lonely cage as Ellaine describe it.

"Your majesty." Ellaine kneeled and bowed in front of her.

This is how people like her should greet the royal family except for Domhall. At that time, she realized she wasn't treating him like a king, but she treated her like a friend— which was strictly forbidden.

Maybe she had crossed the line this time.

"Acknowledged, Ellaine." The majesty smiled at her as she moved her hand, commanding her to stand.

"It's been a while since I saw you," she even added before she sip onto her plain black coffee.

Ellaine just smiled before telling her the reason why she went here.

"King Domhall… He was causing a scene," she spoke as her gaze was fixated on the floor. "He met with Louisanna already."

'If the majesty would give me more power to control her son, maybe I could do something,' she said in the back of her mind, but she couldn't say it as she was waiting for the majesty to be enraged by her sentence.

But, her eyes widened before furrowing her brows when she heard what the majesty replied to her.
