After Skadi and honey left, Taiga got back to her room and me and the kings sat chatting on a table while having a drink.
Daren: "HAHAHAHA TO THINK THAT YOU ARE THE DEMON LORD.. HOW FUNNY"
Sapphire: "Aren't you angry?"
Daren: "if you came in contact with us and Seid let you go then I have no reason to doubt you, also you saved my daughter and I owe you for that"
Alec: "Zein will probably get mad when he learns that he let another Demon Lord to the castle Though, well this case at least gives me enough explanation on how Lucy managed to get that armor..."
Lapis: "..."
Lapis was silent the entire time.. She must be upset, we got really close but I still lied to her, it must be very hard for her to forgive me..
(Lapis: OHHHH MYYY GOD HE'S SOOOO SEXYYYY!!!)
Meanwhile Lapis was nervous on how to talk with Sapphire.. She of course talked to him alot back then, but then he was a researcher... Now he's a king... A SEXY KING!!!
Lapis always had a picky taste in men, he have to be strong but smart, ruthless but kind, have a good heart but also a little bad boy... And Sapphire checked all the bases...
Emel: "..."
Meanwhile the Elven kind who read his sisters mind was gonna die from embarrassment on behalf of his sister...
He just looked at Sapphire and said..
Emel: "don't worry about it, and sorry in advance for the future..."
Sapphire: "?"
Gazef: "you're previous meeting aside, are you really also a student of Teacher?"
Sapphire: "You mean Honey? Yes"
Shine: " so her name is Honey.. Good to know..."
Sapphire: "she never told any of you?"
Alec: "whenever we asked she just told us to call her whatever we want, I'm surprised you got her name out of her"
Shine: "How did you even meet her?"
Sapphire: "when I first teleported to Mankind's continent, I reached her forest"
Jasper: "Bad luck"
Sapphire: " but something is wrong here... How come she taught all of you?"
Shine: "well she's the royal teacher obviously"
Sapphire: "What?"
Gazef: "ever since a few thousand years ago, it became a rule by the gods that anyone who wishes to become king must first pass Honey's training"
Tigarios: " She called it training, I called it torture..."
Gazef : " weren't you one of her first students Daren?"
Daren: " I was, after that it was Emels turn, and then Alec when he reached of age"
Sapphire: "then why was Lapis her student, she's not in line to become king or queen?"
Lapis: "Teacher will take anyone as long as they pass her test as a student, I just wanted her magical knowledge in order to study curses, BUT THAT $&#&$ WASN'T GONNA TEACH ME THAT WITHOUT TEACHING ME HOW TO FIGHT AS WELL"
Lapis got over her shyness from the trauma..
Sapphire : " You mean she threw you of the cliff as well?"
Shine: "She threw you of a cliff?"
Sapphire: "yes, didn't she throw you as well?"
Shine: "She changes her test depending on the student
She tied me to a bull drawn cart then had it run wild"
Sapphire: "you mean a horse drawn cart?"
Shine: "nope, a bull Drawn cart..."
Sapphire: "...."
Tigarios: "She tied me up, dipped my legs in cement, then threw me in the lake"
Sapphire: "...."
Gazef: "She shaved me bald, stripped me naked, tied both my hands and legs, glued blond hair to my head, hanged a sign around my neck that says
No offense Emel..."
Emel: "non taken, at least now I know what she did with my hair...."
Sapphire: "..."
Alec: "what about you Jasper, what did she do to you?"
Jasper: "nothing that my mother hadn't already done...."
"...."
Shine: " *sigh* the beatings were the worst, THAT WOMAN DOESN'T KNOW THE MEANING OF HOLDING BACKKK"
Sapphire: "considering that you still have your limbs, I'd say she held back alot... The moment she learned I regenerate she started hacking at me like a lumberjack"
Tigarios: "AT LEAST YOU REGENERATE!!"
Tigarios said as he rubbed his but...
Tigarios: " *SNIF* SHE ACTUALLY CUT MY TAIL OFF *SNIF*
said it was a liability in combat *SNIF*"
Gazef: "wait? Don't beastman with tails need them in order to maintain balance?"
Tigarios: " THEY DOOOO...
I WALKED LIKE A CHICKEN FOR A MONTH BEFORE I FOUND MY CENTER OF GRAVITY AGAIN!!!"
"...."
This conversation is depressing...
After a few more drinks and complaints about Honey, me and kings became much closer and moved on to different topics.
Sapphire:" hey Gazef? "
Gazef: " *sip* what? "
Sapphire : " about Hadrick "
Gazef: " *SPIT*.. EH.. EH..
what...?"
Sapphire: " I mean I don't want to tell you how to be king or anything... BUT HOW THE HECK THIS GUY IS NOT IN JAIL OR EXECUTED ALREADY?!!!"
That question came to my mind whenever Hadrick opened his mouth...
Gazef: " *sigh* why don't you find a proper way to imprison your own father "
Sapphire:"....
What....
Excuse me...
Did you say that Hadrick is your father? "
Gazef: " he never mentioned it?"
Sapphire: "WHAT?!! NOOO..
NOT EVEN ONCE DID HE-"

FLASHBACK:
Hadrick: "if I used my son as an experiment subject, and he ended up going through a few explosions, bone breakings, and scars, is that domestic abuse?"
.
.
.
Hadrick: "mmm.... So it's immoral, I should probably apologize to the king"
*FLASHBACK END*
______________________________________________
Sapphire: "...."
Gazef: "why do you look like you're thinking of something that would make me cry?"
Sapphire: "... you had it rough..."
Gazef: "...."
Sapphire: "but wait, does that mean the Hadrick was the king before you?"
Gazef: " *sip* no, my dad was married to the King's youngest daughter, all the other king's grandchildren and children were girls, so because of that and after I passed Honey's teachings... I was made the crown prince, and took over after my grandfather passed away"
Sapphire: "...."
Gazef: " just keep him with you and I'll sign the treaty...
And give you half the kingdom annual profit...
It will be cheaper than having him around..."
Sapphire: " I'll pass on the profit...
But won't it be bad if he kept working for me, he was your head researcher, doesn't he have some classified information..."
Gazef:" he was the head researcher of his own department... I have a hundred more, and whatever information he gives you consider it a gift... JUST KEEP HIM AWAYYYY"
Sapphire: "..."
Jasper: "speaking about fathers, how's mine doing?"
Sapphire: "he's okay"
Jasper: "have he changed his mind about overthrowing my mom and taking over..."
Sapphire: "no"
Jasper: "dammit"
Chapter End
And just like that we continued to chat the night away...
