Chapter 14 - XIII

Pov Eli

The pain was not strong but if I felt that I was fading, the last thing I remember before fainting was seeing Shizuru desperate why she did not die and seeing how blood came out of her mouth

At the moment I only see darkness, I don't know if I find myself dead or alive, what happens with Shizuru?

But what will happen to me?

"Eli"

I can clearly hear how someone is talking to me in this darkness, and out of nowhere everything around me was red, when that happened my whole body started to hurt and I began to scream with all my might

But only a few seconds passed when I no longer felt pain, and I felt how little by little something began to flow inside me, and then I was cut off by a Light

...

-King's Castle, Teunkiel-

I open my eyes noticing that the ceiling I was seeing is not one that I recognize, I get up little by little since I had a good headache, I look around me and I see that it was a somewhat elegant room, it had a huge closet, a mirror huge, some landscape paintings

And I've never been in a room like this in my life, but what interests me the most is because I'm here?

Everything that happened was a dream and I never met someone by the name Shizuru? Or this what is after death?

I was so deep in my thoughts that I hadn't heard them approaching the room until the door was opened.

I turn to see who it was and it was Shizuru with her red hair looking at me with a smile

[How you feel?]

She asked me as she approached little by little

[I feel good, although somewhat strange]

When I said the last thing I see that he makes a face like guilt and he did not want to look me in the eye

[I'm glad you feel good but I'm sincerely sorry]

I see that he bows and her guilty face did not change and I do not understand why she does it

[But why are you apologizing? I don't remember you did anything to apologize]

I see that what I said made him feel more guilty and little by little he raised his face to then walk and sit on the edge of the bed but he turned his back on me

[I don't know if you already saw your hair, but that's why you can give an idea why he excused me]

When he told me that I just casually turned to the side and grabbed a lock of hair from my back to see the color.

Red

The same hair color as Shizuru, I remember that he said that if I liked the color red, I know if hair, and I said yes but I did not expect him to paint it on me

[Did you dye my hair?]

[I wish that was]

[W-Why?]

At this point, if I started to worry about something, not because of my condition but because of Shizuru's attitude, it seemed strange to him

[Well, you were about to die and I honestly didn't want that to happen and end up transforming you into a demon]

When he told me that I was too surprised, I never imagined myself as a devil, if I imagined living with one but not being one

[I know it's selfish if you think about it, he blamed me for the fact that you would die because of me and I thought you should live, you have every right to hate me ...]

[And why should I hate you?]

I interrupt him since I couldn't let him keep saying that, I just wanted him to calm down

[And tell me, where are we?]

[Are you not surprised or do you hate being a demon?]

[At first yes, but seeing that you did it so that I could live, I am very happy but you have not answered my question]

[We are in my castle, in Teunkiel]

[In your castle? Is there nobility among demons?]

[Yes there are nobility but they don't have castles, only I as the demon king have a castle]

[A-Are you a demon king ?!]

[Didn't you hear it when we were running away?]

[No, since I was dying]

[Oh it's true but leaving that aside since you were asleep for 3 days, I'll let you know what happened this time]

[Three days? Why so long?]

[I imagine because your new blood had to adapt and be able to recover 100]

[I see]

[But hey continuing, I declared war on the humans just for the fact that they hurt you and they will almost kill you, these days there have been human attacks on the vampires and we send military support, but the humans think that just to send support to the vampires, they think we are already unprotected ...]

[So they sent troops to the border with us so they could attack us with a large arsenal?]

[That's right, for me there are no problems in ending them but it is still strange to me that they did not attack some town]

[Considering that the human king is a jerk and attacks without thinking, well, that's weird]

[I see that if you accepted reality well]

[I just have to get used to it, just what do they do differently from us?]

I'm curious, I must have gotten used to my new reality and also help Shizuru as much as I can

[Although it sounds strange to you, we are not too different from humans, we eat almost the same, we do the same activities but only that our killer instinct is higher, that's why there is a too high murder rate]

It's amazing just hearing it, They had told me that they are beings that seek blood and destruction and feed mainly on every living being that passes them by

[Surprised, right?]

I was going to answer but I see that the door opens, revealing what a woman was, but she was floating and had no legs

[Oh Delia, you walk in at an opportune moment]

[Why majesty?]

[I have to attend to a matter with the king of the man-beast about the alliance]

I see Delia nod and right after Shizuru stands up to look at me

[Well Eli, I have to attend to some pending matters and if you have any questions you can send them to Delia is my advisor, Oh, by the way, There are clothes in those drawers, choose the one you like the most]

I just sit and see that it submerges in its own shadow and then disappears, in that I turn to see Delia who had a somewhat strange face, her eyes were missing and that disturbed me for a moment but I remember nothing here is normal

[You know, I don't approve of her majesty's decision but I will do what I can]

I do not know what she has but it seems that she did not like me

I look towards the sale observing a beautiful landscape and realizing that my life will no longer be the same
