Chereads / Demon lord of Zero (Fanfic version) / Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can truly break me

Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can truly break me

(A/N Okay do we have two things to discuss before getting into the chapter today

1. Damn you guys really didn't want Louise in the harem LOL 😂 Guess we aren't doing that

2. Should I do a Q & A chapter if so then say yes and leave a bunch of questions in the chapter comments, if you only have one question still ask it)

Third person POV

"This is his ring." Princess Henrietta's said with sorrow

Holding the ring of wind

"Yes...I failed to see through Wardes true nature your highness...I'm sorry." Louise says looking down, with her pink bangs covering her eyes

"It isn't your fault Louis Francois, he served under me yet I failed to predict this, as Princess it is my duty to make sure these things do not happen." Princess Henrietta

"But he was engaged to me and now Prince Wales is dead, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN !" Louise shouted and dropped down

Louise sobbed and cried

Louise felt Henrietta holding her shoulders and heard her say

"This wasn't your fault Louise Francois..." Princess Henrietta

Louise looked up and seen Henrietta holding her and also crying

Scene Change

Louse had knocked on the principals door

"Oh...Come in" The principal beckonned

Louise went in and also seen teacher Mr.Colbert there as well

"Oh Louise, what brings you here ?" Principal Osmond

"I had just come to give my report." Louise said

"Okay could you give me a second while I finish this small matter with Colbert here ?"

"Of course." Louise

"Vacation approved" Principle Osmond

"Thank you, I could just feel it, I know I'm going to find the remains of the legendary

dragon this time." Colbert said walking out of the door

"Now...Louise lets hear your report." Principle Osmond

So Louise explained the events that happened in her mission'

"( SIGH ) I'm very sorry about what happened Louise." The principal said with sorrow and anguish

"Hey,what was Mr.Colbert saying about a dragon ?" Louise asked

"Oh, he's going to a village named tomp to investigate the rumor of a dragon said to

have been ridden by the legendary Gandalfer, I don't expect much out of his trip

because the last time he went investigating a myth on Gandalfer he almost ended up stranded in the middle of the ocean." Principal Osmond

Scene Change

Louise was in her room changing into a fresh uniform and she heard a knock on her door

"Come in." Louise

Rem stepped inside of the room

"Hey" Rem said to Louise

"Hey" Louise said to Rem

"How are you feeling ?" Rem asked

"Like trash" Louise responded

"Well someone wants to make you feel better." Rem said with a smile

"Who ?" Louise said with a question mark over her head

Diablo stepped in the room

"Diablo what are you doing here ? And where else do you be when your not her_...never mind." Louise cut herself off because she has already asked Diablo that second question multiple times, but gets no answer

Diablo wasn't good at apologies through words, so what he decided to do was apologize through his actions

"Come with me." Diablo said while leaving the room

Scene change

To start the act was first to have Shera use a special Turkey shot that Diablo taught her to use whenever she was in danger and Diablo wasn't around, Diablo formed taught her this doing their now regular daily training since she came to this world

Shera shot two arrows into the sky and used wind magic on one arrow to create a "whistle" and the fire magic spell "Explosion" that Diablo taught her on the other arrow, creating something like fire works even though Shera herself has no clue what fireworks are

Diablo had Shera repeat this combo until all the students in the school gathered

"It's that beautiful elf girl.", "I'm going to have her marry me." "She has a ring on her finger already." "Wait is she a noble, she's using magic."

People were saying while gathering

"Wait wasn't she summoned by that "zero" over there Louise." One of them said looking at Louise who was standing next to Diablo and Rem

"That's right she summoned three people and so far two of them could use magic."

"I wonder if that third cute one can use magic too."

Diablo was starting to get irritated with what these brats were saying so it made what he was about to do in this apology, but he also noticed how big the explosion

(Wow...I thought I was getting stronger quickly but Shera is progressing like

lightning, it may have something to do with being Elf royalty not to mention Rem who after temporarily transforming into a Demon

Lord right before we left our old world, may be at the limit of the races, I'll have to get her to surpass it somehow but that's a thought for later.) Diablo finished up his thoughts he saw even Colbert, Guiche, Kirche, and Tabitha come to see what is going on, time for Diablo to start

"Alright you self conceited mongrels, Louise here has had to listen to what you all said about her for years....so now you shall listen to her." Diablo stated as if it was a fact

"What ?" "Who does this peasent think he is ?""I'm just going to leave.""Me too."

The crowd of students and teachers said plenty more things like that and tried to leave only to suddenly feel the wrath of an angry Demon Lord

"DARK PRESS !" Up until now Diablo has avoided using any dark or light magic because of one reason: It would be troublesome

Imagine if someone found out about magic that doesn't exist in this world Diablo would never be left alone, things would get way too unpredictable

But now Diablo is sure since it's been reported that he nearly killed their strongest captain, that things are going to get troublesome sooner or later

(Dark press is a dark magic spell that increases the gravity in a small area, but a higher level sorcerer can increase the area effect of the spell) Diablo thought to himself while watching literally everyone in that crowd, teachers and all drop to the ground

"What is this ?" "I can't move" "What type of spell is this?" "Someone help!"

The crowd shouted, and struggled, and did their best to resist, but it was all for naught

"Diablo what are you doing !?" Louise asked shocked

"Relax Louise, he isn't going to hurt them." Rem said to Louise

"Now will you listen or do I have to keep you on the ground while you listen ?" Diablo

"We'll listen darling just stop this!" Kirche

Diablo released the spell, and let them up

"What is the meaning of this Diablo !?" Colbert

"Save your questions." Diablo said and turned to Louise

Louise only stared at Diablo with sorrow, she knew what Diablo wanted her to say but didn't want to say it

Rem started to speak low so the crowd doesn't hear them

"Louise isn't there things you want to say to them while you have there attention ?" Rem asked or rather...suggested

"....I...I don't...well" Louise for the second time today stared down at her feet again, and felt the sadness within her

"Even I had sorrow and hatred in my heart for someone that I never got to tell them about...because they died." Shera said while looking down making an expressionless face that doesn't match Shera's usual cheerfulness

"What... What happened ? How could you hate anyone ?" Louise asked, too shocked of the idea that the happy elf in front of her could possibly hate anyone

Shera looked up at Louise with tears in her with tears streaming from her eyes

"My brother, the Prince of my country tried to kidnap me so he could bring me back to our

country and force me to have children and then kill me. He and a a bunch of his knights invaded the country we were staying l.

The fuedal lord found out and cut his head off right in front of me." Shera said almost shouting the last sentence

"Oh my God..." Louise said with almost no strength, she hugged Shera and they both cried in each other's arms

"Louise say what you need to say or else you may never get it completely off of your chest." Rem

"Yes..." Louise said whipping her tears

"ATTENTION EVERYONE..." Louise said turning her focus to the crowd who was watching

"For all of my life I have either been pressured or threatened by my family or bullied and treated like stain by my peers and classmates." Louise said trying to sound strong but still having tears coming from her eyes

"Sometimes I wish I wasn't born, from physically knocking me down,(Louise looks some of the crowd) to harassment ( Louise looks at Kirche and a few other girls) , to throwing objects at me, to shunning me, ignoring me. ( Louise looks at the teachers, who prayed Louise would lose hope and drop out)

"Sometimes I wished I could make a explosion that would kill myself so I wouldn't have to continue living anymore." Louise said looking down

"I WISH I DIED." Louise cried out

No one would expect for someone to have suicidal thoughts until that person commits suicide

To that everyone looked down at themselves and others in shame

"Louise...." Kirche's voice trailed off as tears escaped her eyes

"But just as I wasn't strong enough to stand up for myself, I couldn't end my own life either. I didn't have hope to keep trying I was only trying to avoid reality." Louise said and told Diablo she was done

Diablo could only think about how his life of being shunned ended up..... Him using video games to escape reality, in the end of the day the effects of this was no different from being on drugs

Kirche ran to Louise and hugged her

"Louise I'm sorry. I didn't know...I only bullied you to make myself feel better because I was constantly pressured by my family too." Kirche said while she cried

Momorency, Guiche, and Tabitha made their way to Kirche and Louise

"Move along before I burn all of you." Diablo said to the crowd of other students and teachers

"Thank you Diablo. " Louise said while smiling but still crying
