Chapter 90 - Papa (1/2)
”My lord, I just felt a rather terrifying presence... are you still in good health, my lord?”
A shivering figure dressed in a raven black suit, wearing a monocle on his left eye, felt his life at threat for a brief moment. Like a black hole that could swallow everything before him, it was simply dreadful. If he were to witness such a display again, he would probably die from the shock.
”Is this the power of the Blood Monarch?!” Someone in the lobby yelled in fear.
”It can't... be... SHE HAS BROKEN THROUGH TO THE EXISTENCE OF LEGENDS!!!” One of the nobles yelled at the top of her lungs as she fell to her knees.
”Devil Magic!”
”Not the power of a Blood Monarch.... this is the power of the Blood Sovereign!”
”HAIL!”

Simon opened the door to Dahlia's room with a gentle motion, hoping to not wake her. In the dark room, was a bed with what seemed to be a toddler already at the age of one or two years. Seeing this, Simon smiled seeing how his child was healthy.
”Little Dahlia, I am 'papa'. I am here to bring you to a place where you can be free to be your own.” Simon whispered into her ear.
With soft red skin reminiscent of his and Malece's and a pair of horns that bore great resemblance of his own, he knew that this child was his daughter.
Dahlia turned over and rubbed her eyes with her forearms, seemingly confused of who was in front of her and why she awoke.
”Who yoow?” Dahlia gently asked.
Simon's heart aches after hearing that, it was simply just too cute for him.
”I am papa. Come, we are leaving.” Simon warmly smiled and opened his arms to receive his child.
”What about Mama?” Dahlia asked with a cute and worrying face.
”Mama? Let's not talk about Mama. Mama did bad things to Papa. Papa can give you many things that Mama can't.” Simon tried to kindly explain to Dahlia.
”But I want Mama.” Dahlia said defiantly.
”Mama is bad.” Simon sighed.
”But Mama loves me.”
”Papa also loves you.” Simon continued.
”Mama was there when I was born.”
”...”
”Papa was busy trying to become stronger to protect you.” Simon reasoned.
”But Mama always here.”
”I don't wanna leave Mama.”
”Papa can make you strong.” Simon tried to convince her more.
”Mama can protect me Hmmph!”
Simon was at a loss. He had no idea how to convince this girl to leave and come with him to a better place. She was simply too stubborn and loyal to her mother. It would take huge force to take her away from Malece, perhaps enough for her to hate him.
”So what do you want? Papa can give you many things, you just have to leave this place.” Simon tried one last time.
