Chapter 9 - Revealing Myself

After I say that the goddess nods and leaves me to handle this.

I turn to face him and say you have quite the aura there are you sure you don't want to tone it down a bit.

He laughs which vibrates the air around us and says you maybe concealing yours but I'm no fool I can tell that you rival.

Some of the greatest worries of our time this battle should be a great one.

I say yea only if you can keep up and switch back to my katana.

He says oh a katana user I wonder how long it's been since I've fought one it had to be at least 1000 years ago.

I say mhmm so you're a demon that survived the war with the hero princess of Lenora.

He says ahh yes that's who it was that managed to beat our God and save the human kingdoms.

I just say mhmm again as I think so there's still some demons from my last life around.

I should be careful but I wanna test and see how the demons of this world match up compared to the ones from my time as hero princesses.

Leaving my thoughts I say since you haven't fought a katana user since her time I hope I don't disappoint as I dash in to attack.

He uses his axe to block my first attack as we increase our speed and you can only see sparks fly from our weapon.

When we separate I say not bad I see the demons from then haven't lost their touch since then.

He laughs and says of course not we are the pride of our nation.

He stops and says wait the way you said that why did it seem like you were referring to it as if you were there.

I say with my hair covering my expression come on now Locket you should have realized by now as I get in my stance and release my Aura.

That's when the sky changes as if a storm is happening.

He says no no it can't be y...y..you were killed by your own kind how can you be alive.

As he sees the images of a girl with brown free flowing hair with blue eyes.

I say ahhh imma get an ear full when I return to my family and the goddess.

I say Locket I'm glad the demons from our time are still alive and haven't lost their touch so I'm rewarding you with the privilege to know I am back.

But Locket what happened to you, you one of the greatest knights of Lenora and my best friend Why...Why have you become a demon.

He sees tears in my eyes and lowers his weapon and kneels before me.

Lowering his head he says hero princess in a choked voice and says Kristen it's..it's really you...your back.

I'm sorry you have to see me in such a shameless state.

I walk up to him still with my true power exposed revealing who I am with my hair covering my expression again.

I point my katana at him and say look at me as he lifts his head and our gazes meet.

He sees tears falling down my face with rage, sadness, and disappointment in my eyes.

With tears in his eyes he says I'm sorry princess... Kristen as he lowers his head.

Switching to a one handed sword with a dark expression on my face I raise it and ask is that all you have to say.

Senses I'm about to kill him he looks up at me and says Kristen please be careful the demons and the underworld have planned for your revival I don't know what they have planned especially with.

Beelzebub beginning on the brink of recovery but do know I have always been on your side and that I'm not the only one who has taken this path to protect you.

He whispers she and him are also here and has followed the same path.

I say I see fare well my friend I hope we get to meet again.

He closes his eyes and says glory to the kingdom of Lenora Long live hero princess.

I grit my teeth and bring down my sword severing his head from his body.

With that I go back to my katana and put it back in its holder as I turn away from his body and conceal my Aura again.

Sensing their commander dead the demon army retreats and I teleport back to where my family and goddess are.

Ashley and Lenoir with the others stand in front of the main gate waiting for Kristen.

Seeing everything go back to normal and sensing Kristen has gone back to concealing her true aura they see a figure in the distance.

Ashley and Lenoir sensing it's Kristen run up to her and once they reach her Ashley says Kristen why did you reveal yourself know the whole world knows your back.

Lenoir says yea she is right why would you do that knowing the consequences.

Seeing my expression they make way for Kristen to pass.

Walking past my sister's not answering their questions I make my way to the gate.

As I'm reaching the gate every one makes way for me to pass as my family just looks at me.

Before going through the gate Ishtar runs up behind me full of worry and nervousness as she says Kristen.

I stop not looking back I say yes, Ishtar, sensing slight irritation in my voice she steps back a little.

Ishtar says mhmm never mind we can talk back at your office that is where you're heading right.

I nod and start to walk again when I hear Kristy from mom.

I stop again still not looking back she says is it ok if we join Ishtar with you in your office nodding.

Her and the rest of the family smiles as mom says ok sweety see you there.

Not wanting to be stopped or questioned anymore I teleport to my office.

Taking off my armor and hanging it along with my katana I go sit at my desk and lean on my desk with my hands clasp together with my chin on my hands as I still have my dark expression.
