The hall where he had been promoted just five minutes earlier had completely transformed into a different room, tables filled with food, chairs, lighting, waiters... The king led them and seated Uta beside him at the head of the table. He declared the royal feast begun and started the festivities. Everyone was having fun, some were playing music, some dancing, others eating or drinking, and some were even putting on magic shows. At some point, the king and Uta sat down in their chairs simultaneously, both quite bloated from drinking so much.
King - By the way, you're a vampire, right? In my lifetime, I've only seen vampires four times.
Uta - There aren't that many vampires. Besides my mother, I haven't seen any others.
King - your father?
Uta - Oh, I haven't mentioned it to you, I'm a hybrid, half-vampire and half-human.
King - What? But you look just like a regular vampire, although your skin tone is different.
Uta - Yes, I get that a lot. (She raised a glass full of wine to his lips)
King - If your father is human, I might know him. What's his name? (He also took a drink.)
Uta - Enryu... Enryu Tepolert.
King: (Spitting out his wine and jumping out of his chair) That's impossible! That's impossible! I can't believe it! By any chance, is your mother's name Rell?
Uta - Yes, I also understand why you're surprised, I know everything about what happened back then.
King - Wait, you're 20 years old! But we captured Rell 18 years ago. So that means...
Uta - No, no. I should actually be 10 years old. I just stayed in the land of demons for two days, and now I'm 20. (She laughs and takes another drink)
King - Now I understand. I was starting to think all sorts of things. But still, it's unbelievable, how could someone fall in love with a woman who is a member of the enemy's army?
Uta - (Slamming her glass on the table) Don't say a word about that in my presence! (She calms down) Ask my father when you see him in person. Where did that guy go? (She shouts, "Diablo!")
Diablo - Here I am. (Appearing from nowhere behind her)
King - Wait, that power... How did you learn my invisibility?
Diablo - Well, since you created it using the sources of darkness, it so happens that I have the same sources as you. Moreover, I can copy and use any ability if I have the corresponding source.
King - It's unfair. You use magic that took me years in my youth to create, and you use it so easily.
Uta - Anyway... I'm sleepy and hungry. Take me to the hotel, please.
King - Wait, you are my guests, so stay here. There should be resting rooms on the second floor—sleep there.
Diablo - Thank you. (He lifted Uta in his arms and they went upstairs)
When they got to the second floor, they saw a long hallway with numerous doors and a servant by each one. They were given a free room, and as soon as they entered, Diablo's jaw dropped. He had never seen anything so luxurious, a large double bed, beautifully carved tables and chairs, and more. Diablo helped Uta undress.
Diablo - You shouldn't have drunk so much. How much did you drink?
Uta - I don't remember, but I definitely shouldn't have had that last cap.
Diablo - You're still in the mood for jokes...
Uta - I'm really hungry. (She attacked Diablo's neck)
Diablo managed to undress with difficulty (all the while Uta was sucking his blood) and they lay down in bed. Uta continued to drink his blood nonstop until he finally fell asleep. Diablo tried to get up to lay Uta down properly, but as soon as he lifted his head, he saw Uta's sleeping face, stopped, and fell asleep as well. In the morning, Uta woke up early, and when she realized she had been lying on Diablo all night, she blushed. Carefully, he got up so as not to wake Diablo, got dressed, and went out onto the balcony. He was reflecting on the events of the previous day, and to her surprise, she remembered everything clearly, plus she had no hangover symptoms. Two minutes later, she came back in and woke Diablo. At that moment, the king opened the door.
King - Looking at you two, it's hard to tell who's the master and who's the servant. Come on, don't look so serious, I'm joking. (He laughs) My servant Yosef told me he wants to teach you how to control your powers if that's alright with you.
Uta - Let me first deal with the land you assigned to me, and then I'll think about it.
Diablo - By the way, why does he insist on teaching so much? He even told us about it during the trip.
King - That's just how he is, he loves teaching others. All of our royal knights were trained by him.
Uta - Alright then, give me a month. I have some ideas about the land, and it'll take me about a month to accomplish them. By the way, will it be a problem if I ask my father for help?
King - You mean Enryu, right? No, no problem at all. I haven't seen him since those events, so I'll have a chat with him. By the way, he didn't tell you anything about me, did he? No, don't even ask, I won't say a word. Talk to him about it.
Uta - Alright, I will. (The king leaves the room)
