Chapter 18

Some time passed after they finished eating and getting ready, I watched them all the time to find out if they did what I ordered to clean before leaving. We are now standing outside the small house and since it is noon there are many people here to do their tasks in life.

"Where should we start?" asked Bael who was next to Cynrad, I looked at Pavel who was next to me.

"Look at the map," I said and extended my hand in front of him, he quickly took the map out of his bag and gave it to me, I opened the map and looked at the destinations we were going to.

we have a long travel, long as I can give with them to do my mission right.

I noticed that we were going to a nearby road first, so I grinned and closed the map, then attached it to Pavel again.

"We will walk a long way to reach the first destination." I lie. If we go by the near road, we will probably reach the first destination before the end of the night, but if I take them by the far road, we will probably spend the night on the road.

Something I like more.

I looked at the three of them.

"Make sure you have bags of food and water because the rickshaw won't be able to take us to the road we're going to." I lie even if it's true, the rickshaw will take us to the place we're going.

Our first destination was an old house that stood on the boundary of the town and the city. There is a nearby road to that house but as I said, the road we will take is the far one.

"How many minutes will it take us to walk?" asked Cynrad. I smiled.

"Six," I answered, so they breathed a sigh of relief. "Six hours," I repeated causing them all to look at me.

"WHAT?!" They asked me at the same time, I looked at them with my left eyebrow raised.

"Any complaints?" I ask. Cynrad looked at me with pity.

"If you're joking, please. We don't have time, so be serious." He said while crossing his arms, I laughed.

"When did I joke with you guys?" I asked, he looked at me even harder.

"No matter what you do, I won't walk that far," Bael said.

"Well, don't," I said and grinned at him. "You're not the crowned king," I said and acted surprised. "Unless you intend to assassinate the next king so that one of you and Cynrad will be chosen, king?" I asked so he immediately looked at me.

"What? it never occurred to me to shoot Pavel." He said it was true.

"If it's true that you don't intend to shoot the prince, let's start walking, you should always follow me because I know the places in town," I said and grinned.

"You know, when you grin, you look like a demon with evil plans," Cynrad said causing me to laugh.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! It's true." I said causing him to suddenly look at me, I laughed even more and pointed to the two horns on my head.

"I'm a fan of Satan," I said then he was tortured and turned away.

"Instead of losing here, let's start walking because it will surely take us by night," I said then started to walk, I heard the whispers of Cynrad and Bael who were forced to follow me, I felt that Pavel cut to me and looked at me, I was exhausted.

"What else do you need?" I asked, feeling the smile on his lips.

"No, I just want to thank you because you are here to guide us." He said that's why I looked at him.

"Guide?" I asked, he nodded while smiling.

"Yes, I also want to thank you for watching over us all night." He added I didn't look after them, I was just in a tree and counting stars all night.

"Don't thank me," I said raising an eyebrow at him. "I'm not doing anything good for you," I said.

"But--"

"Don't be naughty, just shut up," I said so he laughed.

"Are you like that?" He asked, I looked at what I was passing.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"You are grumpy and kind but sometimes gentle." He said that's why I looked at him.

"I am not kind," I said and looked away.

"You are so bad!"

"You are a demon!"
"In the name of the thick head! I cast you out of this man's body!"

"We will never do anything else that is good, we should only do evil."

"People are just our toys."

I swallowed when I remembered what they were saying to me.

Father is right, people are just our toys.

"You're kind, that's the truth. Even let's say you're grumpy and bossy, you're kind because you prioritize our welfare over yours." I heard Pavel say who was by my side.

"I said I am not kind," I said angrily and stopped walking then looked at him, I felt Cynrad and Bael stop behind us.

"I have never done anything right, and I will never do anything right. I only play with you because people are just toys." I said darkly so he stopped, I also stopped when I realized what I said.

I looked away. What was on my mind when I said those things?

"Are you going to play with us?" Cynrad asked from behind. I didn't answer him, I'm not in the mood to fight him right now. Because if I get mad, they might be sent to hell in no time.

"We have to walk," I said and started walking again. It was a big stupid thing for me to say that to Pavel. What I need here right now is their trust, for the end. I will just destroy it, something more painful for them.

This is not the right time for them to know what and who I am, my mission is not over yet. I have to be careful what I say. My one wrong move is when they doubt me.

I took a deep breath while walking. I'm immortal but why do I feel this way? Why do I feel tired? Something that shouldn't happen.
