Chương 33: CHAPTER 32 - HAVEN'T I PROVED MYSELF ENOUGH?
Somewhere in an abyss, a different world could be seen. The place was surrounded by a dark powerful atmosphere, but it was internally filled with brightness that made people doubt if they were told the place solely accommodated demons. It looked like any other world, beautifully decorated and magically enchanting. Whoever said demons only lived in darkness?? Light and darkness were important to all beings. Even the gods needed the darkness to appreciate the beautiful stars in the skies.
In this world, a castle made of black obsidian stood strong in the middle. The walls were dark but glittering. And it somehow seemed to absorb every single light around it. In front of it were two strong dragon statues, that looked alive. Not to joke, but they looked like they could suck a soul in.
Inside the castle palace, a council meeting was being held. Men with purple eyes clad in purple and black robes could be seen sitting gloomily in their seats. They all looked young and handsome, with no sense of aging on their faces at all. In front of each man, a purple color candle without a light on it was seen.
The seats were twelve in general representing the tribes in this world, and an elegant seat with no one on it at the front.
In front of the second seat, a man stood, he looked agitated as he spoke.
"Why can't my daughter be the next ruler? She's the only one who has inherited the blood of the purest demon. She is fit to rule over us." he said casting a glance at each one of them.
"Ivan, no one is saying she isn't fit to rule, the thing is, only a devil can rule over demons. You know this, we all know this. She doesn't have a devil's soul, no matter how strong she is, she is still a demon like us. Also, she is just a ten-year-old girl, and she knows nothing at all"
A man on the fourth seat clad in a black robe with a purple color spoke earning him a lot of nods and murmurs from the others.
"But it has been more than ten thousand years and no devil has been reborn. Until when are we going to keep waiting for him? I say we let Levia lead." Ivan insisted looking annoyed.
"It has only been 10 years after the ten thousand years. We can wait a little more. And besides the god race does not have a supreme too. Theirs have not been reborn too, so maybe it's just a delay this time. Though your Levia seems powerful and was born in the ten thousandth year, her presence has never lit these candles. Only the presence of a devil can light these candles and you know that. " A man of the sixth seat spoke. He had tobacco in his mouth.
"Ivan, I remember you are not the second in command. How about we wait for the second in command to make these decisions? " Another man said looking toward the empty first seat.
"Julius, are you being serious? Our so-called second in command has been gone for years and no one knows where he is... Do we wait for someone like that?" Ivan shot back. Their second in command left a few years in the name of creating puppets in the human world and has not returned till now. Apart from the devil, he was the strongest among them and had always served in place of the devil.
"Well, we can get him back. Since you think your daughter is capable, we can send her into the human world to find him. I learned they recruit teenagers every five years. In five years Levia can go. It will be an opportunity for her to learn more if she is truly to take over the throne. She's still just a girl after all." Julius suggested earning the consent of the rest of them.
"Fine, in five years I'll let Levia go. " Ivan said with a smile and disappeared from the council meeting.
He reappeared in a room in a castle that looked much smaller than the one with the council meeting in it.
"Dad...I thought I told you to knock before you appear in my room..."
A little soft voice came from a young girl sitting crossed-legged with a book on her lap. She had soft long red hair that fell to her butts. Her lashes were very long and her soft plump lips looked so tender, it made others want to feel them. Her skin was fair and neat and it looked otherworldly. In short, she was extremely beautiful.
"..." Ivan was speechless, where was he supposed to knock? The room had no door in it.
" How was demon class today?" he asked while stroking her smooth hair.
"Same, I still have no friends. All the other girls refuse to play with me..." she said nonchalantly.
"Why...??"
"I guess it's because am prettier, and stronger so they feel inferior when they are with me. No offense but I can't do anything about that..." Levia said with a shrug while still looking into the book.
"..." So arrogant. Ivan shook his head.
"Anyway, I went to the council meeting today and..."
"They have still not approved of me taking over the throne..." Levia continued for his Father.
"Father, why don't you just give up and wait for your so-called devil? I am not interested in that big chair anyway. It's just a chair. We can make one here and I can sit on it. We can make it look more fashionable than that one..."
Levia spoke knowing she was going to annoy her father.
"..." No, you know it's not the same. You have to sit on that seat. They have agreed to give you a chance to prove yourself
"A chance?? Haven't I proved myself enough, I have fought every single one of them... Isn't that enough?..."
Levia asked, this time looking annoyed.
"Well, I guess it wasn't enough, in five years you will go to the human world and seek the consent of our second in command... You have to train harder from now on..." Ivan said.
"Really! I get to leave this hell hole... Great I would train harder and seek the consent of whomever you are talking about... Err who is he anyway..."
Levia asked looking excited.
"I would give his information to you when you are leaving..."
" Yes Father"
