Capítulo 16: Acropolis, Hall of Hidden Knowledge
As the demon army retreated, the 451st marched the Demon Lord into "Acropolis".
A-are you going to kill me?
The Ghost sighed as he took of his dented helmet. No, but I will make you tell me everything you know.
The Demon Lord sighed. That's a relief. I saw the look in your eyes. You know the person I spoke of.
Where is he?
He is unharmed. He is a guest in my castle. Also, what is this place?
You are currently being held in Acropolis. It is not a prison by normal means.
A museum...You are of the same world your friend spoke of.
Before the Ghost could answer, Inferno came in and informed him the King wanted to speak with him.
Keep him here Inferno. If he tries to leave, soak him in napalm.
As the Ghost made his way over to the castle, his eyes cycled between red and copper. He couldn't contain his rage much longer. However, there were no guards at the meeting rooms doors. He decided to walk around a bit. As he approached the courtyard, he overheard the King and the First Prince talking.
Father, so it is true! The Ottawans have the Demon King in custody.
Yes, they are quite bothersome.
What will we do about this father?
Well, no doubt they'll learn that we provoked the Demon Lord's attack by kidnapping his wife and that we cast Degression magic on their newest ships and technology. Soon enough they'll be powerless.
What about Zane?
What of your younger brother?
He's fond of the New Ottawan Noble, the Ghost.
We'll just kill him too. Besides, I chose you to ascend to the throne anyways.
The Ghost was horrified. He knew he didn't trust the king but this? This was all too much too soon.
By the way father, where are we keeping the Demon King's wife?
She is being escorted to the Throne Room. We'll meet her there.
The Ghost shrunk away from the courtyard and raced towards the Throne room. Two unsuspecting guards were escorting the woman towards the throne room. The Ghost used his Kbar to slit their throats and take the woman himself. He raced away from the castle towards the forest, heading for New Ottawa.
After about fifteen minutes, the King and oldest prince went to see what was keeping the guards so long. They were shocked to find that the guards were dead and there was no signs of the woman they'd kidnapped.
Search the Kingdom high and low. I want her found...NOW!
Meanwhile, the Ghost raced towards New Ottawa. Once he had arrived, he took the woman to the military base.
W-who are you?
Answer one thing first.
O-okay...
Who are you?
I am Karmia, wife of Demon Lord Kazuto...
The Ghost knew what he had to do.
451st, guard her, hide her. If the king shows up, none of you have even heard of her. This is not a drill.
Affirmative sir.
The Ghost raced to Acropolis. He broke down the door to find Inferno and the Demon Lord sitting there.
Is everything alright sir?
Yes...Is everything alright Noblemen Ghost? said the King stepping in after him.
Yes, I was coming here to test out a new method of torture against the Demon Lord. I wasn't aware you had planned on stopping by your Majesty.
Yes, this is a surprise inspection. We need to make sure everything is up to code. Do let me know how your new method works out for you.
As the Ghost watched the King leave, Guards entered the room and watched them.
