".....Why don't you accept my challenge ? Is it that you are a coward ?" Julio asked to Diablo
in a voice where everyone could hear
"Ha ha because I would kill you with one attack." Diablo
"Hmmm...I can't use magic and I have heard that your magic is strong, how about this....we sword fight. You could use a real sword or a wood sword I don't care."
"Did you not just hear what I said ?"Diablo
"Yeah but I don't believe you. I want to see your true strength !" Julio shouted dramatically
Diablo's face dropped
"Ugggh Sir Julio I don't think fighting someone who practically defeated a country's army is wise." Siesta said trying to sway Julio away
"And do you expect me to believe that ?" Julio said with a look that says obviously beating an army by yourself is unbelievable
"Siesta we're leaving." Diablo said walking away
Julio looked at Siesta, smiled and grabbed her hands
"Beautiful Siesta, why don't you leave that coward and stay with me awhile." Julio said
Siesta looked in his eyes, and backed away
Diablo saw this and burned from the inside
"...Okay so you want to challenge me huh ?" Diablo said with a blood thirsty smile
"Yeah" Julio said with a smile full of confidence
"Wait Julio don't fight him he's going to mess up your pretty face." Kirche said blushing
( A/N and you guys wonder why Kirche will never be in this harem.)
"Fine how about now." Diablo
"Oh so you're motivated now huh ? Let's wait till tomorrow morning. I want you fresh and fully prepared." Julio said
"Doesn't matter when, what weapons, swords or wood swords." Diablo
"I suggest wooden swords." Siesta, who knew since she couldn't diffuse the situation to at least try to minimize the damage that is soon to come
The next day
Only Diablo,Siesta, and Horn showed up, the rest are still sleeping, since it was just dawn.
Horn also liked to attend the classes with Louise so she also comes
Diablo still had to wait on Julio and Horn had to wait on classes so they talked
Nah just kidding, what actually happened is that Horn talked and Diablo gave incomplete sentences
"I always wondered what things would be like in a different world." Horn said looking at the sun rise
".....Hmph ? What do you mean ?" Diablo
"Krum, Edelguard and I haven't been in this world long yet you, Shera and Rem have yet no one discriminates so much against us all like back in our old world."
" True." Diablo said nervous about being involved in a deep talk that actually mattered
" And we are all together unlike before when we had to split up. I always feel protected now that I'm with you. Not to mean anything rude by that it's just....." Horn said her face showing obvious sadness
" Horn what is-" Diablo turned and seen tears coming from Horn's eyes, he stopped talking
"Sometimes I have nightmares about that thing and my classmates." Horn
Diablo thought back to a few months ago at Horn's magic academy, at the event to stop the evil demon from capturing students to use as sacrifices at an ritual for creating a monster
Many students died at the time, and Diablo probably could have prevented it if he had remembered that event in the game
( A/N This happened in volume 10 of the Light Novel to Diablo's world, you could read it on Novel updates )
" Horn...I swear a disaster like that won't ever happen nearby you again so long as I'm breathing." Diablo
"You swear." Horn said smiling through tears
( It may sound childish, but Horn is only a preteen, so cut her some slack )
" Yes." Diablo said reassuring her
( I need something to take her mind off of this sad stuff.) Diablo thought for a second and....
Horn felt somethings drop on her, she looked up and saw a small cloud only over her and Diablo, while it was still summer out, and snow covered the ground of their area
"Haah how is something like this-" Horn was in the middle of talking when Diablo hit her on the back with a snowball
"How ? Oh this must be Diablo's amazing magic." She said picking up a snowball of her own
"How did you come up with this idea ?" Horn said giggling
"I am not just a demon king, but a genius demon king, I name this event SWINTER ! Winter in Summer time. " Diablo declared proudly
"Wouldn't that be Wummer ?" Horn
( A/N Only real OG's gets this joke.)
After a few hours of play, it was time for school to begin which meant time for sword and weaponry training
All of the students who came out, only saw Horn playing, while Diablo watches because Demon Lord's can't be seen playing in snow
"Alright ladies before we begin today's training, we will watch the duel between Julio and Diablo." Agnes said walking up
"So the Sun Prince and the Cold Prince are going to fight." one girl whispered to another
"The schools hottest and now only guys are about to have it out." another girl
"I haven't really seen the Ice prince other than the time we had to train yesterday and the time he fought Guiche." Another girl
"The new Prince is definitely more charming than the cold one, which makes him a lot more attractive than Mr. Coldheart
Diablo heard these whispers and looked at Horn, who since she was a grasswalker, had much better hearing than he did, with a questioning yet slightly red face.
"Your never really at the school, but you're
actually quite popular. The girls call you "The
cold Prince" since you seem very
unapproachable, and scary, yet tall and handsome."
Horn said smiling and holding her hand to her mouth, holding her urge to laugh at Diablo's embarrassment
"So are you ready ?" Julio called out walking from the distance
"Yes foolish boy I am ready." Diablo
( A/N So is there really a need to write this fight seen; I mean we already know what's about to happen right ? Well for the sake of plot let's do it anyways.)
Diablo's POV
We grabbed our wooden western styled swords, and took our distance, Siesta and Horn came up to me.
"You know he was only using me to provoke you right ? Please hold back. " Siesta
"Don't listen to her Diablo, show them who the strongest prince in the school is."
( I don't even go to this school though.) I think to myself
"I know he wants to provoke me, but how can I call myself a King if don't accept a challenge from someone so disrespectful." Diablo
"Are you ready come at me." Julio
"I am a Demon Lord, my rank is above anyone
you serve, not even that little girl Henrietta is
anywhere as regal as I; So challenger naturally
you would be the one to attack first, especially since you're WEAK."
Diablo said making everyone present feel his arrogance
"Why does he call himself a demon ? Isn't a demon some sort of monster ?" Girls said to each other
" HEY ! You can't speak about her majesty like that Diablo. TAKE IT BACK." Louise
( A/N Ha ha, just when you thought she wouldn't be apart of this chapter.)
"Diablo is much better than that princess and his castle is much better too." Horn said remembering the dungeon/ demon castle Diablo owns back in her original world
" Horn you haven't even met the princess how could you say that." Louise said in a whine
"I don't have to, Diablo taught me that you
could judge a King or Queen by their close
subjects, and so far...all of the subjects or
"nobles" don't amount to much; Not talking
about their strength, but their character and behavior."
Horn said making every noble present apart from Julio, and Agnes's musketeer squadron look down
Louise was once again defeated
"Well Diablo, you better not injure him." Louise
"Dark Prince" "Dark Prince" Some girls chanted changing Diablo's Nick name, Horn being the leader of that group
"Light prince" "Light prince" other girls chanted, Kirche and Momorency being the leaders of this group
"Okay boys, neither of you hurt each other." a girl yelled
"Okay, I'll come to you." Julio said charging in
Diablo stepped up and met blade-to-blade with Julio
"This the best you got." Julio
"No" Diablo said pushing the sword off of him
and before Julio had any chance what so ever
to recoil, regroup or even finish stepping back...with a single movement like, but faster than a rattle snake, he lunged forward, and smacked Julio across the face with the flat of the would be sword
Julio fell sideways
( Gasp...) girls exclaimed
Third person's POV again
"Diablo you brute how could you just hurt him like that." Kirche
"Right we said no hurting each other." another girl said
both groups rushed to Julio's side to comfort him, all except Siesta, Horn, and Tabitha
Louise looked at him and turned to Diablo
"Don't you see this bruise !" Louise exclaimed
pointing at the big red spot on Julio's cheek
"Nope not seeing it." Diablo said who obviously saw it
"Arrogant prince." Some of the girls called him
( As if any of you have the right to call me arrogant) Diablo thought
( Clamp) ( Clump ) ( Clack) ( trot )
(A/N Shit idk, horse trotting noises ? )
Everyone heard a carriage
And turning in that direction they saw....Princess Henrietta
Scene change
Diablo, went and got Rem, who was the diplomatic one and those two plus Louise walked to the principal's office because Henrietta wanted to speak with them
"Hello Diablo, Rem, and Louise." Henrietta
"Your majesty." Louise
"Hello your majesty." Louise
"So, I've called you here to apologise for what happened back at the lake." Henrietta said from the principal's desk
The principal himself wasn't present
"You don't have to apologise anyone would react that way. " Louise
Rem thought about if Diablo died how she would react, she couldn't imagine it
"I want you all to know I do not hold any grudge about that, especially since it was my fault." Henrietta
"Next I want to introduce you to the new transfer student, although you may have already met him. " Henrietta
"Hi everyone."said Julio
"His name is Julio Chesare and he is a knight and priest of the holy empire of Romalia." Henrietta
" I wanted to test your strength since I could tell you and me are going to be involved in many battles together." Julio
We talked for a while and then went home
