Chapter 137 The capital of demons 4 (1/2)
Mars raised his head and looked at the queen, she gave a slight smile and spoke
”...I hereby declare the end of the Kel tournament”
the queen rose from her seat as all the demons in the arena bowed their heads to her and soon she walked out of sight and the arena began bustling with noise, many people talked about the matches but just as many talked about the wish Mars had made to the queen, Mars himself rose form the spot he was sitting and walked back to the old demon were Chloe, Elsa and Varvei also were standing and talking
”shall we leave?”
the old demon nodded with a happy smile on his face, he seemed like he was going to be happy no matter what happened for the rest of the day at least, soon the group left the underground river arena and began heading back to the old demon's courtyard to celebrate, on the way Mars received some rather hot stares from some young female demons which caused the 3 girls to swarm around him as they attempted to keep him for themselves, the group soon reached the courtyard were there already were prepared for a grand feast. The rest of the day was spent celebrating Mars' victory in the tournament long into the night...
The next morning Mars dressed up in his best clothes and walked into the city alone and headed towards the castle were he soon arrived, after a quick talk with the guard Mars was escorted into the castle where he walked tough a long hall with numerous paintings of female demons Mars didn't hold back his curiosity and asked the guard
”what are those paintings?”
the guard had seen yesterday's Kel tournament and had a positive impression of Mars so he quickly answered with a smile on his face
”those are paintings of all the former demon queens”
”I see...”
Mars looked at the paintings as they walked past them and soon they reached a heavily guarded door were the guard exchanged words with the other guards and soon the door was opened and Mars alone walked into the room and looked around, the room was elegantly decorated, mars looked over at the bed in the far end of the room and saw some teddy bears among with some other plushy's and gave a small smile and sat down in a chair and waited, soon another door then the one he had walked in by opened and a blindfolded demon with back length silver hair walked in Mars looked over the demon once before he focused on her shadow and gave a smile before he spoke
”so this is your new friend?”
the princess stopped and showed a confused expression
”excuse me, what are you talking about?”
”sorry princess, I'm not talking to you I'm talking to your shadow or rather, to Victoria”
the blindfolded demon's face shoved a trace of shock before she gave a smile and asked Mars
”so your Victoria's owner?”
”I'm not her owner, I'm her partner”
the blindfolded demon let out a small laugh
”you're just how she told”
”well thank you princess”
as the two of them spoke Victoria jumped out of the blindfolded demon's shadow, her ears were flopped down and she was clearly nervous
”are you... mad?”
”mad? why would I be mad?
”okay...”
Victoria lightened up again and walked over to Mars and began purring slightly
”my oh my, you really are her partner for her to be so happy when you meet”
Mars gave a smile and stood up from his chair and bowed slightly
”please sit princess”
the blindfolded demon gave a smile and sat down in front of Mars, Mars also sat down and for some time both of them just looked at each other, well the blindfolded demon didn't 'look' at Mars but he certainly felt a pair of 'eyes' looking at him and not just the hidden guards he clearly felt the princesswas 'looking' at him
”let me introduce myself, I am Mars of Green rive.... I'm a half dragon”
”well met Mars of Green river, my name is Velvet the current crown princess”
Mars gave a grin
”do you mind if I ask a rude question Velvet? you see I'm not one to beat around the brush”
”....sure ask away”
”you're not really blind are you?”
”what? you think the blindfold is for fashion?”
”no I can clearly feel your 'eyes' on me, you can see just not like me am I right?”
”....well you are kind of right”
Mars gave a nod
”I knew it”
Velvet frowned slightly
”you are a bully”
”guilty as charged”
”well then.... Mars let us get to the main point, can you really make a trade agreement with Destra?”
Mars gave a nod
”sure I can, but would you not like to talk with the king of Destra in person instead?”
Velvet gave a sigh
”are you telling me to cross the wasteland? sorry but there's no way mother would allow that...”
”what if it only took an instant?”
”....what do you mean?”
”surely you have heard of space time magic? I happen to be a space time mage”
