30 A Chat with the Demon King (2/2)
Waving his hand over the mirror Alice was met with the sight of Lord Kira holding a set of stuffed Angel Wings. Seeing what he was holding Alice could not help but release her Demonic Gaze passively causing Lord Kira to raise an eyebrow. ”Drago and Alister leave the room, if you disrupt me then neither of you will live to see tomorrow. ” He said causing the two to leave the room quickly.
”I don't know why you have called for me but I demand a explanation as to how you have the 'Demonic Gaze' skill, humans can not obtain that skill no matter what method they use girl, speak. ” Lord Kira said with a slight tone of authority.
Not even thinking of the consequences Alice held back her rage as she said, ”My mother was a Demon, I don't know anything of my parents other than the fact I can use Demonic skills. My friend who is very dear to me wont agree to me going to your kingdom unless she is allowed to go, I am here to ask if that is okay. ”
”I do not mind, the only thing I care about is you joining me. Our agreement stands no matter if your friends are in that kingdom or mine. ” Lord Kira said thinking about the new information her learned about Alice.
”Young lady, can you describe your mother to me? If things are the way I am thinking then you may be more valuable to me than I first thought. ” Lord Kira asked sitting on his chair wondering if Alice was his lost wife's daughter.
”I told you I don't know much about my parents, all I remember of her is that she was beautiful and loved to wear a necklace she wore with everything. When I was still a child my mother disappeared and i never saw her again. ” Alice said remembering how beautiful her mother was and the necklace she would never take off.
”Contact me if you ever need anything, and I mean anything we will talk more of this later when you arrive, tell me son he is to return home at once. ” Lord Kira said waving his hand over the mirror and thinking to himself, 'Is it possible she is my wife's daughter she always wore a necklace I gave her after conquering the Angels... Alice does resemble her in a small way, I cant remember the last time my wife gave me that very look. '
With tears leaking from her eyes no longer able to hold back her rage Alice started destroying Alister's office setting his books on fire and slicing his desk in half before calming down a little and letting Drago know what his father said.
Returning to the Estate with her eyes red and puffy Alice walked past Yumi and went to her room to spend some time alone. 'Do you want to talk about it? ' Shadow said gently crawling onto her lap.
”No I just want to cry, I was forced to lie about my mother all because I couldn't control my emotions when I saw the Demon King holding a pair of stuffed Angel wings. ” Alice replied burring her head in her pillow.

After having composed herself and taking the time to remember every detail about her parents while praying for forgiveness Alice made her way to the dinning room in time for lunch.
”Nice of you to join us Miss Alice, ” A older man said sitting beside Arita. ”Allow me to introduce you Alice, this is the King of Samaria Mark, ” Arita said standing and pulling out a chair for her.
Giving the King a bow before sitting down Mark began to talk, ”I have heard a lot about you Miss Alice, Arita has informed me of your situation with the Demons. ” Mark said with a warm smile. ”It is nice to meet you King Mark, and yes unfortunately Alister sold me out to the Demons and I, ” Alice began speaking before being cut off by the King.
”I have sent someone to deal with Alister, he will be interrogated thoroughly by my best people, I can not let a spy for Demon's live in my kingdom. After all he has just cost this kingdom a very promising young lady, I will help provide what I can for you to get stronger but in return I want you to send me any information the Demons have regarding this Kingdom when you arrive there in a year. On top of that I wish to form an alliance with you Miss Alice, if the demons go this far for you I would be a fool to not establish a good relationship with you. ” King Mark said signaling for the food to be brought in.
Looking at the delirious looking feast being brought out Alice's mouth began to water a little as she ate and thought about what the King was offering. ”Of course I will send information if I can as long as it does not put my friends in any danger, as far as an alliance I don't want any harm to come to my friends home so I will promise that I will do my best to prevent any harm from coming to your kingdom, ” Alice said drinking some wine.
”That is all i ask, I have prepared some weapons and armor sets from my personal collection to be brought over to help you in your adventures. ” King Mark said as he began to eat as well.
”I do not need any weapons, I only need to go on dungeon raids and supplies for my travels, ” Alice said while sitting back waiting for the the maid to finish cutting the roasted pig. ”Then they shall be yours you merely need to put a request in with a Royal Guard.”
