Clouds red as blood, winds cold as ice, death trees and scattered bones creating a setting that is extremely terrifying.
Deep cries and heavy breath coming from the brave soldiers, loud shrieks and painful screech from demonic creatures are mixed in the dark valley resulting a visual of heroic war.
With a final yelled from the demons, the soldiers sighed in relief. Followed by thunderous cheers of victory. Almost fifteen days of fighting, exhausting all their strength. Fighting for the peace and for their death comrades. The battle is finally over!
A figure in a black knight armor glance at the mixed bodies of humans and demons surrounding the ground. Blood dispersed the huge area of the valley. He took off his helmet, his dazzling golden hair revealed. Armored with confidence and haughtiness without even trying, his long slender muscled pants clad on his legs that was riding on the top of a black horse. Wearing his gentle prominent smile under the mercy of the sweats that cling on his forehead. His long and large fingers brushed his wet golden hair.
A large golden sword wrapped against his beautiful waste, making his body more slender and tall.
His azure eyes turned into the rest of his comrades. With a gentle and striking appearance. He rode his horse towards the another golden haired man.
"Brother, the seal has been completed."his tone was calm just like the flow of the river, looking like he didn't go on war.
The other golden hair man glance at him, his appearance was similar to him but more edgy and dangerous. "Good job Iavis."
The other four figures ran towards them while the rest of the soldier followed.
"Crown prince, second prince. All the demon has been exterminated."the black haired and red eye man inform.
"Thanks for the information Daniel, Soldiers we won the battle!"the crown prince shout causing the uproar of all the soldiers.
Iavis reveal a humble smile but soon disappear when it landed at the two figures who have the same red eyes. Daniel and Gavin.
Two months ago, the barrier broke on the Valley of Dalyha creating a natural disaster from the resident living near the valley. It was counted as emergency number three which lead for the emperor to summon his two outsanding children together with other duke's two representative, they lead the war from the Valley.
But from Iavis perspective, these two siblings was a disaster. All the people in the kingdom was aware that the house of Obelima harvest all the evilness in the whole continent. From their norms, governing and even the process of choosing a successor. He can't show any hospitality towards these two siblings.
Daniel knew that the second prince harbour a grudge againts their family. He was aware about the innuendos revolving around the capital. But his attitude was still amiable towards the soldier. Unlike his eldest brother, who remains cold and unwelcoming, his and the crown prince fuse together.
Daniel, who grew more handsome and striking resemblance all the good features of the duke. Others can't help but compare him from the current Duke, yet they soon notice that they are exactly difference. The duke was ignorant and ruthless, but Daniel was cheerful and approachable. Compare to him and his eldest the brother, his brother resemblance more of the Duke.
"Daniel!" A soldier call out his name.
His large figure moves towards the calling soldier. "Yes?" He gave a cheeky smile.
The soldier handed him a letter. "This is for you."he walks away after Daniel receive the letter.
He opened the seal mail and read the contents of the letters. His brows knitted and changes in his expression was noticeable. He hurriedly ran towards his eldest brother, who was talking to the crown prince.
"Brother."he called.
Gavin and the Crown prince turned to him. His posture straightened, and his face showed a humble smile towards his highness and give a cold look at his brother.
"Father will hold a banquet in our victory, your highness the crown prince, father the duke, invite all of the soldiers participating in the war."
Gavin glanced at the crown prince, observing his expression.
"Very well, inform the soldiers. We will immediately depart."the crown prince answered.
Daniel straight away send the news to the soldier, but their expressions turn sorrowful. Who the hell will go to that devil house!!!
A huge bathub filled by dark water. Some dark particle emerge from it, moving directly towards the white figure that was leaning against the edge of the bathtub. His snow-white skin somehow appears discreet from the dark water. His long arms stretch towards the different direction, holding the end of the bathtub. His long eyeslashes flutters creating a vivid shadow and his red lips looks moist from the water.
The scene was exquisite and holy.
When the eyes opened revealing a pair of dark red eyes. The runic words in his iris was enhancing more of his already delicate face.
The dark water turns clear and all the seven red lotus mark glowed in his snow-white skin. He stepped out in the bathtub, causing some water to drip on his body.
He's height was neither tall nor short, the red haired youth put his bathrobe unto his body. The white silk was making his skin translucent.
He's barefoot, his toes was pink and pellucid. His long wavy red hair cling unto his wet backbone. With a gentle brushed, he sprang out of the bathroom.
There was already a male servant waiting to dress him.
"Let me dress you, young master." Elvis moves towards Sylvester.
Sylvester sat down unto the bed, narrowing his eyes to the green-eyed man. Elvis flustered and cleared his thoughts. 'This young master is naive about his beauty!'
His robe slit down his shoulder revealing his smooth skin, Elvis immediately help him to undress.
Sylvester has no idea that this servant of his was having a difficulty. But Elvis knew that he needs to set aside his thoughts, he served his young master for almost seven years. From being a candidate for the successor position, to being the one of the main heir of the house. His master almost became the next Duke, but he has no ambition, making the eldest son the next Duke.
After he completed dressing his young master, he stepped backwards to watch the youth in satisfaction.
"No need to put my choker and wrist guard." Sylvester demanded.
Elvis nodded and hurriedly unclasped the choker and removed the wrist guard. He knows all the meaning of the mark on his young master's skin. His master disclose his secret being the punisher to him and Raja.
But Sylvester did not tell them, being a fallen god.
A seventeen years old, Sylvester was always elegant and gentle. From the way his actions exhibit, nobody won't find any fault on it.
A wave of breezes crawled on Sylvester. He turns towards the opened window and his red eyes glowed.
Elvis notice his gaze. "You want me to close the window, young master?"
Sylvester shake his head. "No need. You may go."
Elvis bowed and followed his demand. After the servant left, a black crow flew towards the red haired youth. It covers almost the whole of his room. It was raging in dark aura.
Sylvester curved his lips. "Welcome back Hanabis."
