Here's chapter 8. Hopefully I'll have 9 out later today.

“I hate you!” (???) A woman screamed out.
He stood there in the rain staring at her.
‘Sophia…’ (???)
“Why are you here, how dare you show your face before me!” (Sophia)
The man stood silently unable to responds.
The woman continued to shout.
“Why did you have to exist, Why did you have to choose our year to cause trouble!” (Sophia)
‘I didn’t.’ (???)
“You killed the only man I ever loved!” (Sophia)
‘I couldn’t’ (???)
“I HATE YOU.” (Sophia)
‘I love you…’ (???)

Castle Oblivion day 4 after fight.
Maou’s POV
He awoke from his sleep with light shining on him from the window.
*Nnnn*
He got up and begun to stretch.
*Yawwwnnn*
He looked up and begun to recall the events of the previous day.
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap* *Creak*
“Master, it is about time you get up, it is already time.” (Sebastian)
“Oh, Thanks for the reminder.” (Maou)
He followed Sebastian out the door and the two begun to walk through the halls.
“What happened with that girl, I mean the hero?” (Maou)
“Master, she and Maria have begun to get along splendidly. She seems to really be just a pure young girl.” (Sebastian)
“Good.” (Maou)
They continue on through the halls heading up flights of stairs when the two are about to turn a corner and they bump into someone.
*Thud*
Before Maou was the one taking up a lot of his thoughts.
Emelia’s eyes widened and she begun to look down avoiding eye contact.
‘Sophia… No, her name was Emelia.’ (Maou) He shook his head.
“What are you doing here?” (Maou)
‘Is she lost?’ (Maou)
“…” (Emelia)
“Miss, are you looking for something here?” (Sebastian)
Emelia looked up nervously to see the source of the voice.
‘Cute.’ (Maou)
The Maou turned his head away in embarrassment at the thought. Behind Maou Sebastian came out.
“It’s okay miss, I won’t bite.” (Sebastian)
She looked towards the Maou, but he avoided eye contact.
“I’m looking for the art gallery on the 2nd floor.” (Emelia) Answered nervously.
The butler’s eyes widened and then the Maou begun talking with him quietly.
“She seems to have a very bad sense of direction. It took her nearly 12 hours just to reach the throne room.” (Maou)
“Oh… I see.” (Sebastian)
“She’s most likely lost, can you please guide her? I will meet you later at the hellgate.” (Maou)
“I am not lost!”(Emelia)
“Of course you are not miss, but please allow me to guide you… for my own comfort. I am Sebastian by the way.” (Sebastian)
Sebastian bowed with his right hand on his chest.
“Fine.” (Emelia)
They separated from there and the Maou continued until he reached the highest spire in the castle. From there he could see nearly everything in the demon realm From the Arachnid Mountains, to the North, all the way to the Serpent’s sea, to the South.

He stared toward the East and closed his eyes.
‘Teleport.’
When he opened his eyes before him was a black arch covered in inscriptions and rusty chains.

“Time to begin.” (Maou)
He lifted his arms and begun to focus his energy. Soon he had focused enough energy into his arms and begun to tune it together with the energy in the environment. The air around him swirled with him at the epicenter as the energy flowed all around him.
‘Now to slowly unlock the seal.’ (Maou)
He begun to insert the energy from one arm into the chains and they slowly begun to unravel. As they came apart one by one he begun to replace them at the same pace with newer looking chains. As the old chains hit the floor they would disperse into energy. The arch was now covered in new chains.
‘Now for the final touch.’ (Maou) *Hah* *hahhh*
He was sweating profusely now and his breath was haggard, but he continued. He then inserted the remainder of the energy into the chains. After expending all of his energy he begun to collapse.
*Plop*
He was caught by a pair of hands.
“Are you okay Master?” (Sebastian)
“I’ll… be fine.” (Maou)
“Allow me to help you back.” (Sebastian)
“Thanks.” (Maou)
It was night by time they got back to the castle. It had taken so long only because neither had the energy to teleport after he had expended his energy and Sebastian had teleported to get there.
The Maou felt well enough and walked himself back to his room. As he got there he saw that it was open a little.
‘That’s odd.’ (Maou)
He opened the door and in front of him was Maria with a worried look and Emelia holding something.
“The Maou was human.” (Emelia)
He took a look closer at those words and saw what she was holding.
‘That picture…’ (Maou)
“Emelia~~~~.” (Maria)
Emelia set the photo down at the sound of Maria’s voice and turned towards the Maou.
“…” (Emelia) (Maou)
The Maou looked at the picture she had been holding again and then at Maria.
“Let’s go.” (Maria)
Maria tried to drag Emilia away.
“No! I wish to speak to Maou” (Emelia)
Emilia stomped her foot and stated.
The Maou looked at her.
‘I’m too tired to deal with this now.’ (Maou)
“Tomorrow, lunch…” (Maou) Stated tiredly as he went to bed.
Emilia was about to say something, but with Maria’s insistence she nodded and walked out with her.
‘She saw it… Now what?’ (Maou)
He was too tired to continue the thought and was asleep before he knew it.
