178 Years Ago
1824, Late January
"The seal should last around 200 years. If we are lucky,or unlucky depending on how you see it, we could still be alive by then and will be able to reseal him." An exhausted but relieved voice told his peer.
"200 years eh, that's good enough" The man, who appeared to be of Royal lineage, replied rather halfheartedly.
"GOOD ENOUGH!? He single-handedly slaughtered cities, killed your elder brother, His Highness the First Prince, and almost killed all of us, among plenty of other crimes AND YOU SAY GOOD ENOUGH!?" With a vein bulging on his head, the young man, Julian Neova, yelled at the recently appointed Crown Prince.
With eyes that seemed to distinguish the finer details of his surroundings, Xander Jude Rexhart, replied in his most sincere tone.
"Ah, your right."
"Did he just reply, 'Ah, your right', just now?" In a tone of disbelief, Julian stared absentmindedly at the surrounding, moments before he yelled profanities at Xander and then proceeded to pass out.
Then another voice called out to Xander
"So what are we gonna say about what has happened"
"Father has painted him out to be the new Demon King, well old demon king now, and we will have to play along with it and say we took him down." Tiredly responding, Xander eyed the blood spilled across the vicinity and sighed.
'If only we were able to help him quicker'
Tucking his ice white locks behind his ears, he yelled
"FINALLY THE TIMES HAS COME , WE HAVE TAKEN DOWN THE DEMON KING, YOUR HARDWORK AND SACRIFICE HAS YIELDED RESULT, SO REST, DRINK, WHATEVER YOU WISH FOR, FOR NOW WE SHALL ENTER A NEW ERA,of peace preferably."
A deafening roar filled the land as the soldiers through away their armour and dropped their weapons to finally rest
"WE REST FOR TWO NIGHTS AND SET OFF TO RETURN TO THE CAPITAL AS HEROES!"
