Chapter 33



Hearing about the arrival of the sword really lighten his mood a bit as he softly ran his fingers through his hair, causing the maids who quickly walked by to blush uncontrollably at his sight.

He purposely planned on taking a little trip into the dark woods earlier to figure out if truly the tales of a devil, or a demon, or a beast, whichever one they claimed it to be, he wanted to know if it really existed and if truly it’s escape was the cause of all the massacre happening in Euphrasia.

But since the sword surprisingly arrived at the palace today, he was anxiously anticipating to see what it looked like, what it could be specifically used for and just how powerful the merchant claimed the sword to be.

Upon reaching the inventory room as that was the only place every weapon made, bought or brought could be kept, he finally stepped in as the guards who guarded the door opened the tall gates for him to proceed further into the inventory room.

Not much to his surprise, his father and a very few members of the royal court were already present in the inventory, causing him to halt in his steps after seeing almost everyone surround a wooden table and numerous whispers echoed by.

“Your majesty.” Sir Arlow’s and Bryan politely greeted in unison while taking a low bow before the King himself.

.....

King Olis, who was busy having a brief discussion with one of the court members present in the room, finally turned to look at the guards who still kept their heads lowered in a bow before shifting his gaze to the direction of his son.

“Adryan, come.” His father quickly beckoned him over which he politely followed and within a few seconds, he was standing right beside him at the table.

Since this was basically a private matter, Calista wasn’t allowed to go in, leaving her to take the decision of eavesdropping instead at the door, curious about why they had suddenly gathered in the inventory of all places.

Convincing the guards was a bit difficult, so she had to use her trademark smile and offer them enough dinner to easily compensate them for letting her do this, also that they’ll have to keep their lips sealed about it.

“I got your message father.” Said Adryan while folding his hands behind his back. On top of the wooden table was something that seemed to be wrapped in a brown cloth, gaining Adryan’s attention immediately as he noticed its dark colored shining hilt.

“Is that the sword?”

“Yes.” A court member responded with a focused gaze, “the valerian sword, we can’t process it yet until the merchant arrives, according to him, this is one of the most deadliest of swords ever made, so why rush things when we can wait?”

The king himself nodded in approval to his words, “he also said something about the sword that I need to clarify from him. The Valerian sword was made long ago, even more than decades before the war started and its only aim was to take out the most powerful of Demons.”

The king theoretically explained, causing his son’s brow to knit into a look of enquiry, a deep line forming on his forehead.

“And who’s the most powerful of Demons?”

“He’s escaped.” The king broke it down with a grim look appearing on his nearly, “and he isn’t going to take this lying down, he’ll strike back and in the meantime, I want everywhere in the palace secured.”

He made it clear to Bryan and Arloe who immediately nodded in response.

“Roshan’s been away for a while now, for some reason I’m starting to get the feeling we should have tied him up and not let him step out through that door in the first place.”

Levi admitted with a half worry contorting his beautiful face but Azazel barely flinched or even reacted, his gaze just remained fixed on the door which they were sure Roshan would use to make an entrance very soon...

Or maybe not so soon.

Levi knew Roshan and Azazel had a way of settling things amongst themselves, he was the youngest which is mostly why they tend to shove him out of most things going on between the two of them, which he finds very unfair.

“Normally I would have left a long time ago,” Azazel’s deep cool voice resonated in the quiet stairway where they patiently stood waiting. He knew as much that if it was anything that needed his concern, Roshan would always find him no matter where he was, so waiting for him was something he’s never done before, yet felt compelled to do it today.

“Tch! The rest of the breakable family will soon return from their hunting trip. I’m going to stay hopeful that my brother won’t cause trouble once they arrive, in fact I’ll talk to him once he’s in a good mood.”

Azazel’s lips slowly curled at Levi’s pessimistic word, “you’re a demon yourself, yet your heart is so different.”

“I never really planned on being like you or brother in the first place, I’m a handsome man with many emotions.” He softly bit back, knowing that Azazel wasn’t actually complimenting him at all despite sounding so amused about it.

Soon enough, the grand door unexpectedly bursted open with a vast wind coming in, gaining the two bickering daredevil’s attention as their gazes shifted to the door instead.

Roshan finally stepped in, but what they weren’t expecting was to see a woman in his arms as he approached the two of them, like a warrior bringing home a trophy after a long battle.

“He’s back!”

“But with a human girl?” Azazel cocked his head slightly at his own enquiries, finding it somewhat strange to see a girl in Roshan’s arms, the last time he saw a girl in Roshan’s arm like this was....he could barely remember.

She seemed to be unconscious based on the fact she wasn’t reacting to his hold and once Roshan made it to where they stood, his gaze lightened a bit.

“Where are the guards? I need her to be kept under serious surveillance until she wakes up.”

“But who is she?” Levi couldn’t resist asking as he blinked at her, even taking a step closer to see her properly as she somewhat looked familiar to his gaze.

“She’s the insight I need, she’ll tell me what I need to know about Euphrasia.”

With that, he made his way into one of the chambers upstairs without letting a word escape from Levi’s mouth. The moment he was out of sight, Levi’s expression suddenly frowned a bit, which Azazel noticed.

“What happened this time?”

“Is it just me or does she look really familiar to you as well?” He asked, causing the white-haired being to narrow his eyes at him.

“What do you mean?”

“I get the feeling we’ve met her before.” He searched his brain as he spoke, but unfortunately nothing seemed to be clicking for him. Strange, or maybe he might have just seen her when he secretly roamed Euphrasia.

Or was it just that??
