" My lord... My lord "huffs" they're h-here!
They're here, the "5 princes" have arrived!"
A guard came running to Lee's chamber, he was drenched in sweat and was tired from running
"Seems like we have to go now, Lee get up, let's go see them I wanna see how they literally are." a big smile filled with curiosity covered my face, I was done with just stories and wanted to meet other devils.
"Ahh I just got a bit relaxed now, go without me I'll join you in a while. Let me get charged first." Lee made a face and nagged like a teenager.
"Oii bitch shut up! You're coming with me!" I grabbed his arm and pulled him up, so I can get some company.
"Alright I'm coming, let my arm go first!"
"So where are they? Are they on the gate or are they somewhere else? " I asked the guard who brought the news.
"Your grace, th-they're in the "Devil's circle Hall" that's what I know! "huff" The guard was still breathing heavily no wonder he ran kilometres just to convey the news.
"I see, mhm... you look pretty tired! Want to drink something? Oii Lee hand him some drinks from the fridge" I asked Lee who was standing near the fridge to treat the guard something to drink.
"Here, for your hard work," I handed over a chilled drink to the guard in form of my gratefulness.
The duo left for the hall just after getting the news and soon they arrived in the corridor which led to the hall of the devil circle, While they were on their way, Kai asked Lee one more question he wanted to ask since the coronation ceremony.
"Hey Lee, I've got a question! I can't ask this to anyone else because they'll judge me." I felt embarrassed asking this so my voice turned out somewhat blushy.
"A question? Why are you talking like this? Are you in love with someone that's what you wanna ask!!!" he made a smirking face and poked me lightly with his elbow on my abdomen gently.
I took a minute to understand his Emotion "Um, I guess I'm in love... wait fuck! You son of a—, I wanted to ask why are all the guests, I mean all the 5 devils gathered here?"
Lee made a face and narrowed his eyes to glare at me "Are you really this dumb or do you pretend to be? You idiot, you don't know why they're here."
I yelled in embarrassment "NOO! How am I supposed to know when nobody ever told me !!"
"Ahhhh!! Alright, I'll tell you why they're here."
"So, they're here for the "champion of hell" tournament. This tournament is held to choose a champion who'll represent the devils in the battle of the trident, and it's held whenever the holy trident lights up and craves for a holder. This happens every time it selects the time, the last time it lighted up was 17 years ago. " Lee explained.
"But why? so why does a tournament happens when it lights up?"
"Look Kai it's a long story but I'll sort it out in short for you, ages ago the power of the trident was equally divided among all the factions equally, each year a faction among all was appointed to use the trident powers to fulfil theirs desires with its power. Like not selfish desires, desires for the welfare of the whole race because the trident only responds to pure and the deepest desires "
"Mmmmm, I get it now. If the trident was equally distributed and everything was happy, happy then what happened then? "
" So that you know that peace never lasts forever! One of the factions tried to steal the trident for their own selfish ambitions, which angered the trident leading the trident to reject every faction, this caused the first battle of trident! 30 wars have been fought until now and yet the trident never chose any of the winners because their hearts were not pure!"
"Woah that trident is something really powerful! So you mean right now every faction are holding a champion tournament in their countries, What will happen if one of the devils wins the championship". I was shooting my doubts like a machine gun on Lee.
"Um, when a devil wins the tournament he faces off with fallen angels and angels champions of other factions and among them the winner gets the trident."
"Heroes? Humans? What about them? Aren't they part of the four factions too ??" I exclaimed with a big question.
(Heroes- the faction which consists of powerful humans who are powerful enough to compete with god, nose to nose )
Lee sighed "Heroes! I guess what heroes did was better, they sealed their country from the inside letting no one in or out, because they were done with bloodshed before they left, they took all the humans of angels, fallen angels and devil countries so they can be safe with their kind "
"Hmm, I can understand why they did that—"
(please let me go, I can't go with you!! Please!! ) A female voice came from a distance.
"Huh!! Who's voice it was? I know this voice!! It's Rose she's in danger!! We must hurry" I was alerted when I heard Rose's voice, from the screams she seemed like she was being forced by someone.
I rushed through the hallway along with Lee fastest as possible so I could reach her before something bad happens to her...
"ROSE!! ARE YOU OKAY? " I screamed toward her as he reached near the location
"Master Kai! Pl-please ss-save me-eee th-that guy was trying to force himself on me" As she saw me she ran and took a cover behind me, she was frightened she was stuttering in fear. she was already a fragile girl.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU ?? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO ROSE ?? " I was flooding with anger I wanted to kill that guy.
The guy who tried to force himself on Rose laughed and replied to me in a vile tone "Hahaha hahaha! I was doing what was necessary.!"
"Ahh!! Seems like I need to do what is needed to be done !! You tried to molest a woman of my household, I need to return the favour."
" Get your Ass ready !! Son of a bitch".
"Bring it on I'll give you a nice whopping!!!" the man yelled.
