章節 31: The Man In The Air

"My Father"

Oh I can not believe this.

"Wait, that was why you sent the guard to follow his every move?"

I question quite surprised he would have thought that far.

"Yes and soon enough he would find out that I am not the rightful heir to the throne and that I have demon blood. Ah he would really love it. And he would gloat pretty well.". Ares says distatefully, his hand rubbing his face like he is quite stressed. I do not know what to do with this new knowledge.

So he would not be King anymore?

"Wait so does that means you would be banished. And you would be stripped off of your glory and honor and the throne and the kingdom and the power and-"

"Yes, and the only tangible and most important person I would have would you and you would be banished along side me. Oh this is sick."he stresses.

"Or we can change the law now that you are king.?"

I hope.

He seem to consider that for a bit, before smiling.

"Yeah that would only work only if all the most powerful beings accepts that. They don't want a king like my grand father. You know the king before my father was a mad king?". He starts slowly, sitting beside me on the bed,I do the same. His fingers playing with my hair.

"The king that almost destroyed his enemy along with his kingdom?. If not for the witches spell?. And then banished after. Yeah we used to here about him for our bed time story, whenever my mother want to make me sleep at night. Funny I could only sleep after hearing scary stories."I smile.

"Yeah funny" he says smiling too.

"Anyways what of it?" I question, going back the question at hand.

"He-he was not just banished after, he was also murdered by the terrors that walks at night. His queen was burnt to death. And she was carrying his other son and this happened centuries ago. So the kingdom decided to make my father the first king of Meth, erasing the reign of grand father form history. So, what I am trying to say is that, the main reason I hate my father is because he disposed his brother. The same son that was never burnt along with mad kings wife. But was recorded otherwise".

"What!"I screamed in disbelief.

"Yeah it was because he had demon blood. But only a few people knew this. My father and him. Even my mother didn't . But the only living people with this information is you, I and Asmodeous. Asmodeous is my father's brother. And my father never knew I was never his son even after his death."

"And you didn't tell him why?".

I asked, knowing that kind of information is to be with held but to be told to former king Asa, even though he was a very bad father to his son.

"Actually that was because he was murdered."

"What! I thought the king died because of the curse places on the Mickelsons."

"Well, that too. Isn't it a curse?. I also may die in the hands of my foe".

He comments.

"Yeah because the prophecy was a you would all fall, and not i will fall".

" It is not just that, we have to-"

He is cut off by the the known on her bedroom door.

"Your grace, your majesty.Tobias, The king's guard is here I let him in?" The maids at the door announced.

Ares looks at me for permission before replying.

"Ofcourse, let him in please".

Tobias walks in, his head bowed.

"Your grace, your majesty."

He greets.

"Tobias, anything you have about my wife's father?".

Ares questions standingnup from the bed amd guiding Tobias to the visiting chamber. While I followed.

"Yes your majesty. I think your father in law is not just against the queen, I think he has some greater fetish things. I believe he has someone much more powerful on his side. He seemed to be speaking with the air."

"The air?". I am now confused. How is it possible my father is seeing or speaking to the air?.

"Did you grab his scent?". Ares asked. He seem too have stiffened. His jaw clenching.

"Yes your majesty, he managed to cover up his scent, but I could uncover it a bit because I am a warlock.I think smelled like earth"

"Angel fucker!. Oh heavens be damned if he was the one". Ares cursed angrily.

"You may or leave.Thank you Tobias"

"You a always welcome your majesty."

"And Tobias?. Make sure you do not get caught by the air, make sure you are always away from the outside air for a day. He may catch a whiff of your scent. Be careful".

"Alright your majesty"

Then Tobias walks out.

"And who is this The air man"?

I asked not sure how to, because he seem out of it.

"Oh you don't want to know. He is an enemy I have fought in the past. He comes in a mysterious forms. I killed his wife in a way sort of to save Sawyer, and he promised me he is coming back for me if I ever have a lover or get married". He scoffs.

Rubbing his temple.

Pacing around.

"Okay?. So not only Asmodeous is coming for our head, but my father is also working with your potential enemy who wants my head on spike.?"I laugh.

"Yeah well he promised to.make me pay,because technically I got away with the immense power within me. That is, the demon blood. And he I am sure he already knows. So now that he back,I am pretty sure he is.muvh more powerful. And your fathe too. He is just waiting for he right time to strike. Oh, that Angel fucker!".

"Well it is not so bad, at least we have each other right?". I want to curse I want to scream, I want to complain, i want all this to end.

I want to not have had a father like mine.

I want to be myself without thismpowers in the first place.

But no, I cannot I am already what I am.

"You know, I had dream. That morning?".

"Yeah?. What of it?".

He ask staring at me, I know he has been waiting for me to speak to him about the dreams always.

"In that dream, I saw my other self.I mean the powerful side of me. She informed me that I was much more powerful than I think I am."

"Okay?". I swallowed.

"And, that i need to unleash my other side and i was running on an ice. But something about the ie being my enemy. So when I woke up, you said I was on fire, that you were cooling me off, so I figured perhaps you are my enemy"?

"Really?.So now you are telling me because?"

"Why else?. Because I trust you ofcourse " I said looking inside his eyes, and waiting for him to show how high his ego has gotten. But his smiling, not smirking"

So I relaxed.

"Thank you for trusting me. And I would never let you down I promise."

"Speaking of which,how about you start telling me about the relationship between my sister and you"?
