Gabriel, the butler-like demon went straight to the master’s room after getting the news from Selena. He firmly stands and knocked on the door in front of him.
“My Lord, Selena is back from her scouting expedition, and also came back with something you might want to know.” Gabriel said still standing firm while waiting for his lord’s permission to go in.
“Come in and report.” The man behind the door said.
Gabriel opened the door and saw his lord sitting at a table near the bed. It seems that he is looking at some paper in front of him.
The said man put down the paper and looked at Gabriel.
The man has white-bluish hair and blue gentle eyes. He have a beautiful face like an angel and wears a black silk night robe with no shirt under it, showing his fit build and just wears pants. The man’s name is Shin Reaper the demon lord.
“What did she found?” Shin asked and looked at Gabriel.
“A young man’s corpse with this.” Gabriel answered and took the necklace from his pocket and gave it to Shin.
Shin suddenly stood up from his seat. He was shocked to find out his mother’s necklace which has been lost for years is now found at the hands of a total stranger.
“Where is the body?” Shin asked.
“At the resting chamber. Aguilles has to stitch him up. It seems that the body is half dead and half alive my Lord.” Gabriel answered.
“An ongoing resurrection or a successful one? Tch, Get Aguilles now! I want answers about the condition of this man.”
He commanded Gabriel which Gabriel did with haste.
Gabriel first bowed down and teleported to Aguilles position.
Gabriel teleported to the library a three-floor room with many shelves full of books.
He saw Aguilles on the third floor reading some book.
He silently walked towards her and whispered in her ears.
“Aguilles.” Gabriel called her name.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
“Ehyah!” Aguilles was so focused on reading that she did not notice Gabriel near her.
She fell into her knees from shock. She looked terrified and confused and asked in a high voice.
“Why do you guys always startle me!”.
Gabriel looked confused but stayed on track from what his Lord ordered him.
“Aguilles, our Lord wishes to summon you in his room.” Aguilles was shocked again and her blood went to her face. She was so red that Gabriel understood right away that she misunderstood what he said.
“Our Lord wants you to report about the corpse earlier.” Gabriel said while giving serious face when in truth he wants to laugh at her so bad.
“O-oh yes! Right away!” Aguilles stood up and started running.
Gabriel looked at her back and said. “You could just teleport outside of his room if you want.”
Aguilles stopped and shyly laughed “Haha, I guess I could. Clumsy me.” she then vanished and teleported.
Aguilles arrived at Shin’s room with Gabriel. She looked nervous but she gathered her courage and knocked.
“M-my Lord. I am here as you wish.” Aguilles said.
“Go in and tell me about the corpse you stitched.” Shin sat firmly at his seat and started listening to Aguilles.
“The body of the corpse is half alive and half dead. The soul is still there, that’s why I said it’s half alive but the body is not functioning as it should. Some organs are missing since Selena found it already like this. I-I could say that he is already a zombie with his own will, my Lord.” Aguilles reported.
Still, it makes Shin wondered how do zombies have their own will and why does he have a necklace?
“Why? Aren’t zombies just a dead puppet? How come this one has it’s own will? Also,” Shin showed Aguilles the necklace.
She was shocked she also knows who owns it.
“T-that…. It could be the answer… If you allow it, my Lord, I want to borrow this for some investigation! I think that what’s happening is a complete and successful resurrection...I-if this is the reason, then he might be one of the answers as to what happened to miss Lisa! A-also as a witch I know and I analyzed the corpse earlier” The room is filled with serious vibes flying around the air.
They know nothing about the corpse, they know nothing about how the necklace ends up in that man. Also it is still a mystery as to what happened to their former queen.
“Alright, but take good care of it. It’s the last memorabilia from my mother.” Shin said with a sad look in his face.
“Y-yes! I will do so my Lord!” Aguilles said and went back to the resting chamber again.
Aguilles tied her wavy hair into a pony tail and put on her glasses and started her research.
She analyzed the stone in the necklace and the same with the hook beside it but it looks like the hook has no meaning or anything just a decor but the stone is emitting mana.
It’s so concentrated and pure. It took days, weeks but still no answers.
It was a sleepless endless night for Aguilles but she did not give up. In her fourth week of researching, the stone lights up and she was mesmerized. She hurriedly wrote it on her fourth notebook where the other ones are full of notes or data from her analyzation and observation. After all this time, this is the first reaction she saw, a few seconds later a groan can be heard in the room.
It was just her and the corpse. She hurriedly looked at the corpse and it surprised her.
The corpse, Grim asked her, “Where am I?”
Aguilles smiled gently at Grim and said “Welcome to the demon lord’s castle!”.
