30. Meeting in hell

I was now standing in the throne Hall. It was a really big place with many decorations. This place looked almost like something from a painting. On a throne a young man was sitting. He had short dark hair, and small black eyes. He was looking at me with a smile, but I couldn’t really trust this person.

I couldn’t trust him because he was a demon king.

Behind me was standing a succubus. Her name was Vyliana, and for some weird reason she was with me in this place. I can’t say that I’m happy about it, but I can’t really do anything right now.

“Ohh! Looks like we have more guests!” demon king said.

More guests? What are you talking about.  

When I looked behind at the door, I saw what he meant. Three people were standing there. I knew two of them but I have never seen the third one.

“Morgana?! Arthur?! What are you doing here?!” I asked them.

“Father?!” Vyliana shouted after me.

When she did that, this stranger hid his face in his hands, and looked away. He was wearing really cheap clothes, and he looked like a really old person. He had a long white beard, and he looked like just a normal human, but I knew he couldn’t be one.

Well, of course one of the reasons for that was because we were in hell, but there was something weird in him. It was almost as if I met him before.

“Iris! I was so scared! I thought I won’t see you again.” my dear friend Arthur said, after looking at me.

“Are you safe? Did anything happened to you?” Morgana asked, and then looked at Vyliana with angry face.

“No, everything is allright. Why are you here? How did you even find me?” I asked and Arthur looked at this old man, that entered this place with them.

“This good man helped us. It took us a lot of time to get there, and we got lost a few times, but now we are here.” he then said, and smiled.

Well, I can understand it slightly, but there is still something weird in this man. Even more now, that Vyliana called him her father.

“Father?! Why aren’t you saying anything?” Vyliana asked him, and he hid his face even more.

“Come here! We should leave her in this place. I don’t think that someone like her should travel with us.” Morgana said to me, but Vyliana was still looking at this old man. It looked like she really wanted him to say anything.

Father? He looks like a man. Just a normal man. Why does she call him father? Why he seems familiar to me? I started thinking about those things. I don’t think it’s the first time that I met him. If I could just look at his face closely.

“Hey! You!” I shouted at him.

“M-Me?” he asked, while still hiding his face behind his hands.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

“Yeah, you! Show me your face.” I said, and his hands twitched a little.

Well, I don’t feel good doing this, but I’m really curious.

“I can’t…” he replied with a weak voice. Well, maybe he was just an old man?

“Father, why won’t you look at me?” Vyliana asked him, with sad voice.

Well, if he doesn’t want to I don’t think I should press him. It’s really weird from me, because for some reason I’m sure the I met him before, but it’s not something that important. I don’t think anything good will come from making him do things he doesn’t want to.

I should let Vyliana deal with her own problems, and I should come back to the surface. Of course after getting what I came here for.

“Hahahah!” I heard a loud laugh. It was coming from the throne. When I looked into it’s direction I saw that this weird demon king was now laughing for some reason.

“Why is he laughing?! We should really go back!” Morgana said irritated, and Arthur hid behind her.

“Ah, don’t worry about me. It’s just so funny.” he said, and laughed once more.

Well, for some reason all of us got really irritated after he said that. All of us, but Vyliana. She was still looking at this old man with silence.

“Why won’t you look at me?” she asked with a sad voice.

“I can’t look at you…”

“Why?”

“Look at what you are wearing.” he said, and covered his face even harder.

When he did that I looked at Vyliana. For some time now, I stopped caring about her outfit, but now that I look at her, she is really…

Well, she is wearing something something really provocative. An armor, that covered very little of her skin. If I was her father I don’t think I would let her…

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand!” Vyliana said, and started walking towards this old man. When she did that, Morgana and Arthur started approaching me.

“We should leave her alone in here. She is dangerous, and stupid. We can get you to your old body in another way, just leave her alone here.” she said quietly to my ear, when she was near me.

When she said that I looked once more at Vyliana and her father. Her family is really weird, and I don’t know if I want to stay here any longer. Maybe I should just go back? I want this dragon’s heart, I really want it, but staying in this place seems dangerous. Vyliana said that nothing will happen to me, and I believe her, but should I?

“You seem to be thinking about something.” demon king said to me, and everyone stopped talking. For some reason, his words were now more powerful, and his aura became darker.

“I heard that you want to get something from me. Is it true?” he then asked, but now with his normal voice.

“Yeah.” I only replied. It seems like he knows everything, so there is no reason to explain anything to him. Of course, I shouldn’t lie to him.

“Then there is no reason to be afraid. I will give you what you want. You should stay here for as long as you want.” he said with a smile.

Yeah, I shouldn’t disobey him.

“We should stay here.” I said to Morgana, and Arthur. They just looked at me with worried looks, but didn’t say anything. After that I looked at this demon king.

“I am grateful.” I said, and bowed a little.

Well, a little girl bowing to a demon king might seem a little weird, but it’s not something I was worried about.

“Vyliana, you should change your clothes for now.” demon king said, and Vyliana looked at him with angry eyes.

All this time she was trying to make her father look at her, but she was still a demon. That’s why she listened, and went to change her clothes. When she left the throne hall, this old man finally took his hands from his face.

“Thank you. I thought that I might die.” he said, and sighed.

When he did that I could take a look at his face. He looked old, but his face seemed really familiar.

“Is there something wrong?” he asked me, and looked at me. When he did that I could take a better look at him.

After looking at him for some time I was sure. This old man was once a famous knight. Yeah, he was a famous knight, and for some reason he married a succubus.
