[Immortal Realm]
Lucifer's Palace.
~~
The ceremony to congratulate Abbadon as the new ruler of hell was in progress,every demon both the high ranked and the lower ranked were gladdened about the recent occasion.
The glee in the heart of everyone was not underrated, Lucifer has been ruling for a while and for Abbadon, who had taken over was not such an easy task as everyone had thought.
The series of tests he had undergone,by the council and that of the Crystal Palace didn't leave him disappointed at the end.
But there was apparently no one who would have been a potential challenger,to his fight to the throne.
Camiel and Melchom weren't much interested in the throne,and neither was Azriel either who would rather be living his life as it is now, than to be tired with the responsibilities that comes with ascending the throne.
He should be happy..no he ought to be happy,as he was dressed in the best and well designed tailored suit with crystals and all sorts of diamonds, gracing his features as being royalty.
He didn't intend on being in his natural form, Abbadon wanted to make a difference and fix an ultimatum,to prove to the people that he will be more of a better leader than his father.
Well, Lucifer had no problem with that, if anything it had always been the earnest desire of any parents to see their children doing well,more than they had done.
So,he had a clean heart when it came to his first son,but Abbadon's heart was anything but pure towards his father,his brother and towards the subjects he was to lead.
They were all nothing but a ticking time bomb, waiting for any slightest reason to prove that his dead brother would have been the rightful one to the throne than him.
He could see it,no..he had felt it since all the years of his life,the feeling of being nothing but a mistake that had come earlier than the initial messiah,called Damon because of a stupid prophecy.
But the time is his now,there is no Damon to threaten his throne and neither will there ever be a chance that he's still alive,after tonight.
He will make sure of that.
"My Lord,my lady is outside your door"The eunuch came in to announce the arrival of his wife,to which he found himself smiling.
"Let her in ''He approved,before the young demon parted, taking one last glance at himself in the mirror and towards the red sky that indicated the release of his brother would soon be decreed.
He found his nose flaring,and anger coursing through his entire system at the thought of him still being alive.
His father had strongly believed that he was alive,but it was nothing but mere stupidity on his part.
No one at all,not even any immortal has been recorded to have survived the ice cave, especially when it has to do with a demon from hell.
So where exactly is sponsoring his hope that Damon is alive?
Nothing
Absolutely nothing.
"I see you are also bothered about that?"Nina asked out of the blue,making her presence known as her husband turned abruptly to face his lovely wife.
Nina,the princess of the northern Demon clan.
The woman who would give him his salvation,to outride every stumbling block in his part.
She would give him a son.
"I guess i shouldn't pay much thought to it?"He asked, covering the space between them,and placing his hands on top of her stomach.
"How's he doing?"He asked, rubbing his hand on her stomach in a loving manner,while his eyes sparkled with admiration for the woman in front of him.
"Doing much better seeing his father right now,"She said, covering his hand on her stomach with her own,only to feel their child kicking against her uterus.
"He has missed you,and i have missed you too, my Lord"She complained,to which he cleared his throat,and taking her hand into his own.
"Let's go for a walk"He demanded, taking her out of his room towards the balcony,the very angry view of the red sky becoming more clear than it had been inside his room.
He found his fist tightening more in anger,for the inability of him to change the condition of the weather.
Camiel should have done liberty to this,and at least let him have a nice day today being the night of his coronation ceremony.
But they were not on good terms,and neither would he have agreed in doing anything about it,when it comes to the red sky because it belongs to Damon.
A symbol representing the contract between the crystal palace,and his brother Damon.
What made it more angry to him, was the fact that his coronation had to be on the same day he will be released.
The only thing keeping him sane was the fact that he was two steps ahead of his brother, firstly was the pregnant wife who was carrying the next bloodline,and also the fact that no one had survived the ice cave.
The warm hands of the she-devil standing beside him, enclosed his tight ones which had his attention back on her.
"You don't have to be scared"She adviced,and he found her choice of words downgrading for a higher ranked demon like him.
"I'm not afraid,I just don't like the fact that the ceremony,and the release of that stupid brother of mine had to be on the same day"He snapped.
"It's interesting and not a bad idea though"Nina laughed,adding more spice to his anger with her choice of words.
There's absolutely nothing interesting about this!
"You know for a fact that you are my wife, and carrying my baby doesn't give you the right to mock me"He spat.
"It's the other way around my love"She withdrew her hand from his own, walking to the very end of the balcony while looking at the sky.
"Tonight will prove the rebirth of a new king,and i assure you my Lord,that our opposition will be put to shame when they find out that he's no more"She smiled wickedly, approaching him one more tine before taking his hands.
"Tonight is all about you,and i want you to know that our son and you are the only thing that matters,I love you Abbadon,'' she said, covering the space and hugging him like her life depended on it.
Her words have always done the magic any time he was having difficulties, but tonight it didn't help anything at all.
The fear was there.
The fear that he was still alive.
The fear that he's coming back,and that would be the true rebirth of a new king, because he will become a true legend if he makes it out alive.
