91 End Of The Beginning Part 2 (2/2)
”In any case, Irium, I am appointing you as the new ruler of this-”
”Go to hell!” I interrupt with that.
”Well, I am going there. And that is why, I want you to-”
”Forget it, old man, not happening.” I say.
”…” He looks at me with hopeful eyes.
”…” I look at him with a denial.
”Okay fine, Danny, you-”
”Nope, I have a life back on earth.” He says.
”If you become the king of this realm, you can probably get a harem.” Kaylith tempts him with the oldest trick in the book. And-
”Yeah, sure, I'm in.” It works. Of course it works.
That said though, while this may seem like a joke on the outside, it isn't. I do think Danny is a good choice for someone who would be ruling over this realm. Perhaps, he is even a better choice than any other option available, especially me.
”Hmm … alright then, that's settled. Now all my affairs are in order.” He says with a smile as he raises his voice a little, ”So there's no reason for you to hide anymore.”
And then, the bitch responsible for the hopelessness we are thrown in appears.
”I wasn't hiding. I was just waiting for the right opportunity to show myself.” says Dues ex machina as she steps into the throne room from the front entrance.
Trevor, Danny and Priscina scoff at her and I try to keep my deadpan façade from breaking. Kaylith, on the other hand, smiles diplomatically and says, ”I suppose you'll now be taking Roswaisa with you.”
”Yes, indeed I would.”
”Forget it!” Roswaisa yells, ”I would never kill the entire demon race for you.”
”Pfft!” Dues laughs, ”Your willingness to do it does not matter, my poor Angel.”
”What … do you mean?” She asks.
”Why do you think you are the one who is supposed to fulfill the 'prophecy' of killing all the Angels and Demons?” She asks with a mocking smile, ”Aside from you being more beautiful than average woman, you are special in any way at all.”
Oh no! Does this mean-
”When you were a human, when you were Adonia Evans, I found you and conditioned you to become slave to my will.”
This bitch!
”I made sure you become an Angel after you die so I have someone who can become powerful enough to utilize that ability of Kaylith's for my purpose, and will do it on my command.” She barely stops herself from breaking into laughter as she says, ”You, Roswaisa, are my pawn. All that is needed is a little reminded of the fact.”
Wait! Doesn't that mean that … oh crap!
”Oops!” She says. ”Looks like I already gave that reminder, didn't I?”
As I look at Roswaisa, even at this distance, I can see the light in her eyes disappear.
