Chapitre 2: DEAL WITH DEVIL
Empress Mary, "How could our child be a solution to this problem? This child is not born yet."
Mage Luke blurted out, "Her Majesty, let's start with the starting. As you are aware the Dragon attack that takes place in the Empire. The Dragons are powerful beings, and they can't be killed. They are strong, immortal, and intelligent. The dragons who attack the Empire are Red and Black Dragons. Red Dragons are well known for their ferocity and power, and Black Dragons are well known for their malevolence and destruction. They can't be defeated, so we need help from the powerful being that can save our Empire."
He took a deep breath and continued, "And as for the answer to the question you ask. I saw the future of the child. Not just that, but this child already has…. *clear throat* It's a Princess, and the prophecy about the lady of the Qeania Empire is for your child. She…"
It is the first time he is getting nervous about saying the words. He wants to stop the words but can't because that's fate waiting for her. Even he can't be able to change her future. Either way, this is going to happen, and he doesn't want the worst way for this to happen.
He didn't get to complete it as there was a commotion outside the Throne Room. Before anyone gets to know about the intruder, the person walks inside. The intruder is wearing a Dark Gothic Cloak and Long Coat and has his face covered.
The dark vibe that he is giving is making others shudder in fear. Two men were following him, and they also covered their faces with hoodies of their capes, but they were wearing simple capes, while the man in the lead's cape was gold and a mix of the dark.
He walks to the seats of the Emperor and Empress and stands in front of them. They can differentiate between the head and the subordinate. They were confused but stayed silent and let the other person speak first.
The one in the lead lifted his hands and uncovered his face. They saw the well-sculptured face of the man, who was 1.8 m tall, with messy blond hair and light blue eyes. He's wearing a loose dark green shirt, blue jeans, and dark shoes. The posture in which he is standing in front of them without greeting them shows that this man thinks highly of himself.
The noble present in the hall is murmuring about his behavior. He knows yet ignores it because the important thing for which he especially came here is in someone's womb. He looked at the belly of the Empress and felt something strange.
Empress Mary follows the direction of his eyes and covers her belly with her hand. It's the first time she loses her calm in the throne room. He saw the action of the Empress. The nervousness can be felt, and he likes it. The intruder smirks and turns to look at the pale face of the mage.
He said in a bored tone to Mage Luke, "Thanks, Luke. Oh… do I also have to call you like others, let me try? *with fake respect and politeness* Thank you, Mage Luke. For telling their 'Majesties' about the information of the dragons."
He looks at the Empress and Emperor and sneers, "But what about the main thing? That is there *he pointed to the baby bump of the Queen* inside her. Look, you both, I would rather not chit-chat with you."
James barked at him, "How dare you mock and disrespect the Rulers of the Empire?"
The Leader has a sarcastic look on his face as he speaks, "Why do I have to respect you people? A Human? *he scoffed* Look. Let's make things clear. I am here because Luke informed me about my mate, who will be born in a few months, and I am here for her. In return, I will help you with the Dragons. Simple."
Noble Martin butted in, "You can help us? Why? Mate? Who is she? We can help you find her, but please help us."
James yelled at him, "Noble Martin, you are crossing your line. We have to discuss this thing first and then come to a conclusion. This man comes from nowhere and asks for his mate and tells you he will help us. How? We don't even know how to defeat them, and how can this man defeat them."
No one speaks. The intruder and the Emperor are looking at each other. The Emperor wants to be sure that the man standing there is not bluffing when he doesn't find anything in his eyes.
He asked, "Who are you?"
The Leader announced, "The Devil."
*Gasps*
* Murmur*
Everyone was shocked. The sounds of murmuring and gasping were loud, and look at the man who proclaimed that he was 'The Devil.'
Mage Luke confirmed, "He is. And the mate, that is your firstborn princess. That's why I am here and trying to say this, but I didn't get the right words. She's destined to be with him. That's what prophecy implied."
Empress Mary stood up from her seat and fumed, "Do you even know what you are talking about, Mage Luke?"
They didn't know how to react. The man who just barged here, saying he is The Devil. And about her child. Her daughter. She can't be able to withstand her unborn child betrothed. And a mate. How can they sacrifice their child to save the Empire? How can they give their baby to HIM? These were the thoughts of the Rulers of the Empire.
The Devil advises, "I think soon the Dragons will be here, and then *BOOM*" He laughs at their misery and leaves the throne room.
Mage Luke followed him. He knows the mage is following him, so he turns and orders, "I'm waiting outside. Talk to them and if they are ready, my people will help them, but if not. You know what will happen!"
He didn't wait for his reply and left the scene. Mage Luke returns to give his advice, "Your Majesties, try to think about the Empire. The people need you, and the princess can save us?"
In return, he gets a glare from Empress Mary and shuts his mouth. Empress Mary stood up from her seat and said, "I'm going back to take a rest."
Emperor Frederick didn't know what to say or do. He is in a dilemma. If he thinks like a Father, he will sacrifice the Empire and its people, and maybe the Dragon is going to wipe out its existence the Empire.
If he thinks of the King of the Empire, in that case, his unborn child will be sacrificial. He was in his deep thoughts when he heard.
*GROWL. Screaming of the people*
He stood up from his seat and looked at Mage Luke. Mage Luke understands his intention and answers, "He is waiting outside."
Emperor Frederick walked out of the Throne Room and went to the Balcony in front of the throne room. When he was about to open the door, he saw his wife and HIM.
Empress Mary also heard the screams and growls. She walks to the Balcony. The scene that unfolds in front of her is hideous. She couldn't be able to see the people of the Empire being burned by these creatures and decided to accept HIS offer. Because right now, it's the Empress of the Empire, not the Mother of her unborn child.
She said, "We accepted your offer, but we want to stay with our daughter until she's..."
The Devil didn't let her complete her sentence and nodded his head with a smug look to his left in command, BAEL.
He ordered, "Have a warm-up, BAEL." Demon BAEL nodded his head and summoned the fighter Demons.
When Empress Mary turned around, she saw her husband standing outside the Balcony, and his pained look was hurting her. She had the same look, but they must do this for their Empire.
