Capítulo 152: CHAPTER 151: questioning.
Days slipped by like water dripping trough one's fingers. I had tried to fall asleep countless times just so that I would no longer feel my body changing. But it was of no use.
At some point they had brough a lot of people who were believed to be my subjects. Or at least suspected of that. They were all locked in the same cell as my father.
Tough I did not even know most of them Allenya, Leonor, Noah, Beatrice, and Alex were. Not that, that was of any difference. Apart from the whispering chattering from time to time that was almost driving me insane.
Apparently, the people that had locked them up in here did not care if they lived or died. Since I could just breathe fire trough the bars of the cells and kill them if I wanted to. I guessed that they just wanted them out of the public so they could not spread my word.
"Hey Rubedo. You have not moved in a verry long time. How are you feeling?"
I opened my eyes when Alex asked the question. I had requested of them a little while ago to address me as Rubedo when there were other people around. Since I thought that these strangers did not deserve to know my original name.
I saw how some people froze up or backed away as soon as they realised that I was not asleep. They all feared the worst when one of them had bluntly spoken to me.
"I feel like a fucking unicorn."
In the past few days, I had grown three more horns. They were each positioned in between those I already had. This included one between my two largest honest, this one basically stood in the centre of my forehead.
Unlike my original horns these weren't twisting. They were smooth and slightly bended inwards.
But since they were still growing and like my others directly connected to my scull. It felt like my head was splitting open.
"Hey, did you know Elisa and Nathan are expecting?"
I slightly smiled when I heard this news coming from Alex.
"I don't know how wise it is to call out other people I know. but still thanks for informing me."
Alex fell quiet for a moment, until he decided to continue to torment me with his questions.
"You… can get out, right?"
"Not now. Now I am not even fully awake. But I guess so."
My father briefly glanced at me when I spoke. But he still had not said a word to me ever since he had discovered that I had been torturing someone. I was truly worried and felt bad about this. But there was not much that I could do.
"Good. Because… if even you can't then we are probably going to stay here until we are nothing more than him."
He pointed at the pile of bones in the corner of my cell. The flesh and skin had already disappeared before these people came here. it was a lot faster than when a body deteriorates than normal. But maybe that is just what happens when you die around a demon.
I could hear how the people in the cell started to murmur again. they probably couldn't believe that someone was casually talking to a demon.
Quite annoyed by the noise I spread out my mind to put them under a minor control. Tough I actually made them only unable to talk.
"Don't worry Alex. I won't let it come to that."
"That's great because it is getting a little cramped in…" he stopped when we heard the door to the dungeon open. Again, the woman and the man walked in. they had been coming every day, but I had been ignoring them up till now.
"I see that the great demon has finally decided to wake up. Would you mind answering our questions now?"
I looked down on the woman and the man that was almost emotionless standing beside her.
"Depends on what you ask human."
"Verry well. Then I shall ask you why you were slaughtering your own back at the battlefield."
"Private reasons."
"Then what is your relationship with the man you tried to protect?"
I leaned back and let my wings rest on the stone floor while I was slowly wagging my tail from side to side. "Yea, I'm not telling you that. You sure you want to keep questioning me? I mean I can keep dodging everything you ask for as long as you want."
She clenched her hand into a fist. "Then how about this demon. You either give your true name now or I will do everything in my power to get it from you. Do you understand? After that you will have no choice not to answer."
"I am sorry human. But even I don't know my true name. you will be wasting your time."
She turned around and with a mere wave of her hand she ordered the man to follow her. "You will see demon. I will get it one way or another."
