Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Don"t Involve Him
I immediately read, Come back, Mother Calypso is in danger." My mouth fell open. Well Lamia said that she was under her father.
Maybe she can"t do anything, I immediately went back inside Lyf"s house. I wanted to tell her I was leaving.
But he seems lively when I'm here, "Angel, come and eat." I couldn"t help but think twice. Am I going to involve him on this?
Nah, it"s my own problem so I won"t tell her. I"m going to fix this, Lyf has helped a lot here.
Atsaka involve his father, I don"t want him to be seen by his father and got dragged back. I still remember Lamia's story to me.
She said her father was doing everything to get Lyf back, but Lyf just continued to ignore. Lamia also said that something important has been destroyed-
Their father just to bring Lyf back. I think it"s a thing that involves his mother? So I won't just tell Lyf that.
It's easy, I'll hurry. I"m going to bring him back to our village when it"s all over. I just need to get involved with the angel and demon races a little.
"Prince Lyf, how did you find out about your second blessing?" I asked him, he was serving food for me. He cooked a lot.
"Angel, I'm not a prince anymore." He said softly and sat down in front of me, I just shrugged and ate. OH- it's delicious.
"I didn't mean to learn it actually, I just learned it." I stopped chewing. So he really did just learn the second blessing.
But where? He learned it like just nothing, but I practiced mine for weeks nung last 10 years. "W-how?"
"Did I help you practice remember? I just casually learn it? I do not know either." He replied, he seems honest.
I thought to myself, he managed to learn it quickly by just observing me learning it last year. He also quickly learned what kind of blessing it was.
I tried to see the information on his second blessing and it was an imagination blessing. How did he learn that so quick?
I can't help but be suspicious... not to Lyf but... to some people. Is Lyf naturally talented? Or powerful ...? or both?
Since his imagination is a good blessing, his flaw is not too bad. Also, I was also worried why I didn't masteal his blessing.
Why... can"t I steal his blessing? I stared at Lyf, somehow I had an idea. "Angel? Are you not eating? "
"Ah sorry, by the way. Is it okay for me to leave for a while? " I asked her. "I'll be right back-"
"I'm coming with you." he immediately said, as expected he won"t be leaving me. But I will not send him to my village first.
"Lyf..." I can't say what I'm going to say, somehow, I feel bad. Case I don"t really want him to go there first.
He stared at me as if reading what was in my eyes, he sighed and said. "As long as you come back. If not, I will chase you. "
I smiled at him and nodded. "I'll be back don't worry." After we ate I left.
He still looks worried but he seems to trust me. I immediately ran away, I need to get back quick.
(Village)
When I arrived I saw the other villagers who seemed confused. "What happened to Mother Calypso?"
I asked immediately, Phoebe came over. "She got captured by the angel and demon race. They want us to go there. "
My lips parted, I heard this from Lamia but it seems it's getting out of hand. "They seem to know our kind by Mother Calypso."
Phoebe added. I sigh, looks like Lamia can"t do anything now. We really have no choice.
"Why do we have to go there? We didn"t do anything to them. " Said one of the villagers.
"I have a hunch that they will use us again." Villager 2.
"What are we going to do Leader? We can"t just leave mother Calypso? " Klein asked again.
"We"ll go if that"s what they want, I need 3 people. Only here are the others to protect the village. " Everyone nodded.
I took Phoebe, Klein and another girl who"s good at defense and fighting. "How did they know we were here? Did Mother Calypso leak too much info? "
The woman asked, her name is Yasi. "Probably yes, someone also dropped a letter." Phoebe answered and handed me the letter.
I read it again and its just what Phoebe said. Let us go there to their kingdom. "W-why would Mother Calypso do that?"
Klein asked, "She's that one-person who won't reveal where we are." Phoebe grabbed her husband's shoulder.
"I"m sorry, I know this is late... but when I went on a night patrol. I heard him say something about Everything is according to plan". " Phoebe explained.
We all stared at Phoebe because of her explanation. "I know it sound unbelievable, I heard it the day before she left. I thought it was nothing... "
"But now, it all makes sense." I can't help but think, Calypso... a traitor? Nah, she won"t... right?
"Don"t say that, Mother Calypso helped us for many years now. I"m sure he has an explanation. " Klein replied.
"Right, she won"t do this for nothing. Maybe there is a reason. " Yasi agreed, I just didn't speak.
I was busy thinking and finally have an idea. It"s all coming together somehow... I already know who he is. I"m not sure but I will try.
"You go first to the entrance of the kingdom, I'll just follow." I said to Phoebe. I left immediately to go to Lyf, I have a plan.
As I was running back to Lyf's house suddenly something rang on my side, it was that crystal that Lamia gave me.
It started glowing and floated around. "Hello?" because that's what Lamia said, once it sounds, you should speak.
"Hello Lady Dethyria ?! I"m sorry! I"m sorry! I can"t save her- "Lamia said suddenly.
"What happened?" I cut off what he said. Her voice was so loud that it attracted corrupted species. So I have no choice but to fight them.
"She said something that made my father even more interested- I was about to slip her on my father's hands but he said something." He replied.
"Now father's attention is on him, I'm sorry- I don't know what he said but it really attracts my father's attention now."
I could hear her crying voice on the other side. "B-but I will do my best! I will try again- "
"No need, Queen Lamia. I'll take care of it." I cut to what he said. "Don't force yourself, your father might get mad at you."
"But I haven't been able to help you yet Lady Dethyria! I really wanted to help you, as a friend. " He said on the other line... "DO you need anything?"
I didn't speak for a few seconds and finally said something. "How about welcome us? We will go there later. "
"Y-yes? YES! I will definitely welcome you Lady Dethyria. " Then he turned off his call. While I am just killing corrupted species.
While I was fighting, they suddenly froze as if someone was holding them. "Angel, you"re back. I was worried. "
I turned my attention to the speaker, it was Lyf and casually walked towards me. Teka- far away duck in his house ah... did he ??
"No I didn't follow you, Angel." He said modestly, for some reason the corrupted species suddenly died.
He used his second blessing again. "How did you know what was on my mind? You read minds now? " I asked with a laugh.
"Of course not, I just read your eyes. You were so easy to read, after all these years. " I raised an eyebrow at him for his answer.
I just smiled and my staff returned. "I can save myself you know, I'm so strong." Confident I said to him.
"I know, I just want to spoil you." he replied, psh. It's like before, he doesn't answer me. Now that's the length of his answers.
We"re back at her house, wow I"m really taking my time here ah? Lyf"s making some food again, he has a plan to make me fat.
"Seriously 10 years..." I suddenly said while lying on the sofa, I was waiting for food ok? Lyf doesn"t let me help.
"Well you were so hard to find." He said while in the kitchen, I was blown away.
"Duh, I"d be a crappy hider if you saw me quickly. I just didn"t expect you to look for me. " I really thought he pursued on being King.
Well if he was king, maybe Lamia's kingdom would be in a good state. But he didn"t, so that"s why Lyf"s father is struggling to bring him back.
"But I wonder why I"m still alive. After everything I did and happened to me "I said softly, I don"t know why I said that but I just did.
I saw him put something on the mini table. So I sat down and grabbed something to eat.
"Maybe you"re just meant to live you know? To do something no one else can do. " He answered me modestly. I didn't answer and chuckled properly.
Do something no one else can do huh. He sat down next to me and ate too, I smiled. He"s still the same Lyf I know.
Kind and interesting, so I'm curious about him. He says some weird stuffs that just make sense. "Thank you very much, Lyf."
He turned his attention to me. "No angel, thank you for coming back to me. Like I said, you still have me. "
I bowed down, he really did look for me for 10 years. He never gave up and he successfully found me.
Now he won"t let go, whatever. I"m going to do this, it"s now or never. "Lyf... sorry too." I said softly.
"Huh why?" he asked in astonishment. "You haven't done anything wrong." Nothing yet... but I will do it now. I slowly snapped my finger.
"Sorry..." I whispered again, he was surprised and suddenly held my hands. But before he could speak he fell on my shoulder "And I love you too .."
I just used a sleeping blessing from him. Grimm suddenly appeared and looked at me worriedly. Master Dethyria
"You take care of him, Grimm." Smiling I said and laid him down neatly on the bed. He won"t wake up unless I undo the spell.
"Are you... really going to do this master Dethyria?" worried he asked me again, I nodded and prepared to leave.
"I'm counting on you Grimm."
~~~~ DEMON/ANGEL TOWN ~~~
"She's alive!"
"The monster is alive!"
"I told you he's alive!"
People shouted when we arrived, I guess the news about me being alive and coming back in this town spread like wildfire.
I put a mask on Yasi, Phoebe and Klein. Nothing for the thrill, of course we didn't hide our form.
I had to remove my fake eye and just closed my eyes. I'm still beautiful so heh. I fixed myself and smiled innocently...
Once in town, Lamia still haven"t arrived so many people are watching us. "Ah ... I'm back." I said smiling.
After I said that, everyone went pale.
Continuation of Chapter 52: I can be a Monster whenever I want Part 1/2
I had to release and intimidating presence to scare them and they did. I just kept smiling...
Apparently they were scared of my smile, what? It's nice that I can smile here. Hays, it's a pity when I smile at them, it doesn't seem worth it.
"So the rumors are true! There are so many monsters! "
"The monster we released 10 years ago is also alive!"
"Shouldn"t we do something?"
People shouted around. Lamia and I just waited here, but suddenly someone threw rocks at us, Yasi immediately intervened.
She opened her shield and Klein and Phoebe protected us, she"s that girl who built the big shield when I was trying to learn my 3rd blessing.
Phoebe also immediately stepped forward and turned into a large lion animal, she roared louder. The person looking at me seemed even more frightened.
Wow, nice opening ah. We"re only here because we"re asked to but is this what they will open to their guest? Aren"t they a little too disrespectful?
"Aaaahhh... is this how you will treat us? We"re only guests here. " I said softly as I put my hand on my cheek.
"YOU"RE A MONSTER! WHO ELSE IS SENDING YOU HERE ?! "
"YES! MAMAMATAY TAO! LOOK AT YOU- STILL A MONSTER! "
"I WISH YOU JUST DIED IN THE CAVE! NOW YOU BROUGHT YOUR MONSTER FRIENDS TOO! "
People shouted, more and more came. Then the guards arrived. We thought they were Lamia's accomplices but I was wrong.
They also asked us to go away and die. I'm not angry with what they say, just annoyed. Since I'm used to it and they keep saying that.
Not only that, I no longer have anything to do with them. So, hurting them is fine right? I summoned my staff.
"Summon me some nasty plants so they can calm down." I told my staff, it immediately did what I said.
The large plants came out with a super bad smell. It was big of course and we were not affected because we had a shield.
"AAAAAA!" they shout. I never heard the others because of the strength of their cries.
"You forgot something you see, I am no longer connected to you. So I can do anything I want with you. " I said softly with a smile.
"FCK YOU MONSTER!"
"AAAAAA IM DYING!"
"IT SMELLS SO BAD- *COUGH *
They shouted loudly, I just shrugged and smiled even more. "Monster? HAHAHA yes, I am a monster and so what? I"m powerful now. "
"You can't move me anymore." I cheekily said and sneered at them who were busy dispelling the smell. We saw a carriage.
Immediately someone came out of it and ran towards it. We don"t know this person but... "G-greetings Lady Dethyria, sorry for the delay."
It tells us. "* Cough* a-according to the Queen, she can"t come right now. She is now with the higher ups so she sent us. " He added.
"Hmmm? Don't the people here know that the king is sending us? I won"t apologize for what I"ve done by the way. They are the first. "
For my child complaining but so what? Hah I can do anything now, I can even burn this town into ashes if I want to.
"Your queen knows very well what I can do." I added and it looks like the ones that Lamia is sending here are even more scared.
"We"re really sorry Lady! T-they didn"t know, k-we"ll take care of it. The Queen is already waiting for you. " I never spoke again.
The person who talked to us signaled the guards who were with him to stop the people. Of course I removed my plants.
I continued smiling at them and stepped into the carriage. Phoebe, Klein and Yasi followed.
And so the carriage started moving towards kung san, my mind flew as to what Lyf"s situation was. He won"t be waking up for a while...
I came back to my senses and arrived at the academy. Hmm? I no longer said, "Ah, here we will hold the conversation" he explained when we were with him.
We walked into the academy, it"s still the same old place but gradually losing color. Ahhh so nostalgic isn"t it?
I saw some students waiting. It was a mix of angels and demons, I saw Demeter.
I didn't know what I would react but I was surprised that he suddenly approached me and frowned. "Nice to see you again, Demeter."
"Nice to see you again too Lady Dethyria. Grandmother asked me to greet you. " even though he was expressionless, I could still hear his sincere voice.
I smiled sweetly, I know she"s talking about Nyphe"s mother. Even though she doesn"t know who her real family is, she"s still respectful.
"She respects you so much." He added. I patted her head again, auntie is still kind as ever.
"How are they?" I asked him. She immeditaly looked up and said.
"She"s fine, Lady Dethyria. She can"t come to greet you because she"s sick. She"s really sorry. " Demeter explained. I laughed.
"Don"t worry child, it"s ok. maybe I"ll go visit her. " I didn't realize that many were looking at us, we didn't notice. "Wanna come with me?"
He did not answer. "It's okay if you don't want to-"
"N-no no! I would love to Lady Dethyria. Besides... I don't have any close friends here. It"s just my older brother... and you. " I don't know but...
My heart was so touched when she said that, but also sad at the same time. She"d hate me if she knew I killed her parents.
"O-" I didn't finish what I was going to say because suddenly someone threw something at me, probably a potion? I immediately used a blessing; telekinesis.
"Oh greetings, Lux." I greeted him with a smile, and I fed it to my staff. "Long time no see."
"It's queen now ... my disgraceful cousin." Anger he says. "Still alive after all? Well, it takes a long time for monsters to die. "
I laughed modestly and whispered. "Oh? Using potions against me now? I can"t believe you"re still weak... after all these years, cousin. "
"And at least I didn't use forbidden magic to be popular, right? I also didn"t kill my friends out of jealousy. " He replied.
Napa shrug nalang ako, those words no longer affect me anymore. "So it's true that you already led the monsters eh? That"s where you belong. " He added.
Wow she really think she did something? "Nah, who cares? And at least I'm not that involved as a leader like you. "
"Look at how you rule your kingdom, such a failure." I added, we heard screams from the students.
I saw his blush, his quickness to shrink. I walked towards the hall while holding Demeter's hand.
"Hey you! I'm still talking to you- and let go of that child. You"re hurting her, don"t you say you"re taking her hostage ?! Have some dignity. " Lux shouted loudly.
Suddenly the rumor got louder, seriously she wasn"t even there when we were talking. That"s really judgmental.
You can also add the students to obey their stupid leader as well. I hope I answer in case Demeter suddenly intervenes.
"You"re wrong my Queen, Lady Dethyria didn"t take me as hostage... I came willingly, aren"t you a queen? Why are you acting so childish? " she announced.
I can"t help but keep my mouth shut, oh wooooww. She got Nyphe"s attitude. Lux's eyes widened, including his supposed guards.
I sighed and signaled Phoebe to leave, I asked them to keep silent and not act hastily because we were in the enemy's lair.
I will do the talking only, if thngs get out of hand there they will enter. The five of us entered the hall at once.
When we arrived, super amount of guards. Not to mention the higher ups and other high ranked nobles are also here.
As I was observing I did not see Mother Calypso. Then I looked at the person in the middle, it was the same guy who suddenly stopped my execution 10 years ago.
"It's nice to see you again, Lady Dethyria." The person in the middle said, Lamia was standing beside him, she was busy looking down.
I didn't answer instead I stole a glance to the side and saw my aunt and unlce still alive. hah, they also take a long time to die ah?
"What do you need." That's all I said, he's late. He sighed again.
"I am the previous ruler of the Demon race, Lamier Kedron." When he introduced himself, I just shrugged. He already knows me so no need to introduce myself.
"Bring us back the person you captured." I said to him... suddenly we heard a loud bang on the side. It was from my aunt"s side.
So we looked at each other, I also saw Lux just arriving. "YOU DISRESPECTFUL TRASH!" he shouted loudly.
Oh so she"s also a loudmouth like before, she hasn"t changed. She"s still getting old, she might die from shouting.
"YOU SURVIVE BECAUSE THE PRINCE SAVED YOU! NOW YOU"RE ACTING LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AND NOTHING WRONG WAS DONE ?! " he chattered.
"AREN"T YOU TOO COCKY !? YOU SHOULD BE HONORED THE PRINCE SAVED YOU! HONORED THAT THE KING SPARED YOU! " its extra shout.
The rumor began, "Honored? I lost my eye and wings, why should I be honored? " I asked in astonishment.
"Besides, you forgot that I am no longer part of your race. Now tell me what you need and let"s get on with it so we can finish. " I lazily answered.
The witch said, "What do you mean you"re no longer a part- you"re really ungrateful! You"d be dead if no one saved you! " Lux shouted.
Like mother like daughter again. "Well I didn't say that someone would save me, the prince did it on his own. So he left, right? "
I answered smiling and placed my hand on my cheeks. "He left because yall are just... disgusting fake saints."
"YOU-" Aunt's shout didn't end because the king suddenly intervened, it was a large bang so we calmed down.
"Since Lady Dethyria said so... we need your help." I raised my eyebrow, help? "We need you to help our kingdom survive this massive attack."
"In exchange, we will give back to you the person we got... we know... you"re powerful now. So help us. " Added by the former king.
The thickness of their faces, huh? They captured one of our own and asked such request? Seriously- I didn't know they were that bad.
"But King Lamier! We can"t ask such a request to a monster ?! What if he led such a creature in our kingdom? Aren"t we in danger? "
Aunt shouted, and the people around agreed. "If so, then we don't have a choice but to kill that woman."
Everyone is quiet, so he"s threatening us now. Nakakadiri. "I can also give your brother's body to you... if you do it." he added.
So I stopped, so he knew about the body. Huge mistake then- "Okay, I will accept. But once we're done, don't bother us anymore. " my answer.
"It's a deal." We once told the king, I can"t risk everyone"s body since the king knows. He will definitely threaten to kill them if I don't agree.
After that I left Klein in the hall, they"ll be fine there since Phoebe is there. I told them to stay there because I was going somewhere.
Now that I am with Lamia, she will lead me to my brother"s body. I will only see it but I can't take it yet because it's still forbidden.
A deal huh... I smiled. It will break off any minute now. "Lady Dethyria, I'm really sorry. I didn't know that my father knew about it. "
The two of us just walked into a large mansion near the academy. I guess it got built over 10 years.
"Hays, he"s always in control. I"m really sorry, I was being cautious like brother said. I don't think-
"Queen Lamia, you're such a good actor." Suddenly I said.
"You're such a good actor that I'm also surrounded by your plasticity."
To be continued...
