Chapter 15 - The real family

Lyotan grabbed the girl's wrist and said, "Excuse me, young lady, but we need to talk."

The girl smiled and said, "Is it about Mr. Angel?"

Kazaris got angry and said, "Hey you! Who are you calling an angel?"

The girl went with Lyotan to the living room. She sat awkwardly on a couch while Lyotan, sitting across from her with one leg crossed over the other, looked at her.

Lyotan: "Before we start, tell me your name."

Girl: "Oh, sorry, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Mellory." She smiled.

Lyotan smiled and said, "Mellory, what a beautiful name."

Mellory: "What did you want to talk to me about?"

Lyotan thought for a moment and said, "Have you heard about a demon named Kazaris?"

Mellory thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I've heard he was cast out by demons because of his golden eyes and lived among humans."

Lyotan: "Mellory, please don't be afraid, but Kazaris is still alive."

Mellory went into shock and said, "You mean, I was talking to Kazaris a few minutes ago?!"

Lyotan: "Yes, but don't worry, I've cast a spell on him to seal his powers."

Mellory excitedly said, "This is amazing, I've always wanted to see Kazaris up close!"

Lyotan thought, "Why is she happy?"

Mellory: "I think Kazaris is a real legend. He built a great empire and created a land full of justice!"

Lyotan looked at Mellory in amazement, thinking, "Is this girl a demon worshipper?"

Mellory stood up and said, "Alright, I won't tell anyone Kazaris' secret, I support him!"

Mellory happily and excitedly walked toward the door and opened it, seeing Kazaris standing behind it.

Mellory: "Master Kazaris!"

Kazaris was shocked and said, "What?! Don't call me that!"

Mellory: "Will you be my boyfriend?"

Kazaris frowned and said, "Of course not, I have much more important things to do."

Mellory smiled and said, "Alright, but I am your fan."

Mellory happily went out and closed the door.

Kazaris looked at the door and said, "This girl is crazy."

Lyotan came next to Kazaris and said, "It's better not to disappoint her, otherwise she'll reveal your secret."

Kazaris sneered and said, "Of course, this is a good way to control people."

Lyotan chuckled under his breath and said, "You truly are a demon."

Kazaris was walking through the city with Karil. Kazaris was lost in thought. 

Karil looked at Kazaris and said, "Is something wrong?"

Kazaris: "Well, about that girl, Mellory..."

Kazaris held his forehead.

Karil smiled and said, "She really has peculiar tastes. It was so interesting that she called you an angel."

Suddenly Kazaris stopped and looked down.

Karil stopped, looked at Kazaris, and said, "Are you okay?"

Kazaris: "Do I really look like an angel?"

Karil looked down, thought for a moment, and said, "You might be a demon, but you've transformed my life and given me the hope to live, so..."

Kazaris proudly said, "I helped you because I need you. I don't care about a spoiled kid like you."

Karil laughed and said, "You can't lie to me, I know you too well, brother."

Kazaris smirked, grabbed Karil's cheek and said, "I like you because your soul is so dark, and we can do so many wicked things together."

Karil smiled and said, "I'm with you all the way, brother."

Kazaris let go of Karil's cheek and smirked, "Good, you understand very well."

Karil's face turned serious, and he thought, "You're wrong, Kazaris. It's not you who's the main villain of the story, it's me."

Karil was walking in the city when suddenly a group of men surrounded him.

Man: "Please don't resist and come with us, young master."

Karil: "Young master?"

The man said coldly: "If you resist, we will have to take you by force."

Karil: "I'm not going with you, and you can't force me!"

Suddenly, one of the men came up from behind and covered Karil's mouth with a cloth, rendering him unconscious. At that very moment, a deep shock hit Kazaris.

Kazaris held his head and said, "Karil..."

Freako's men took Karil with them. Kazaris went to the rooftops to find Karil. From above an alley, he saw several men taking Karil away. Kazaris quickly came down and rushed towards Karil, entering Karil's body and disappearing.

The leader stopped. The others reacted and stopped as well.

Leader: "It's nothing, I thought someone was following us."

The men took Karil to Freako's house.

Karil saw Kazaris in his mind and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?!"

Kazaris: "Please stay calm. Some men who look like the ones from seven years ago have kidnapped you."

Karil: "Kidnapped me? But why?"

Kazaris: "I don't know, but it seems you are very important to them."

Karil woke up and found himself on a couch.

Freako: "You're awake?"

Suddenly, Karil was shocked, his heart racing. He quickly sat up and said, "Who are you?!"

Freako, who was sitting across from Karil, moved to sit next to him on the couch and said with a smile, "Please don't be afraid of me. I don't want to hurt you."

Karil: "Of course I'm afraid! You kidnapped me and brought me here!"

Freako patted Karil's head and said, "I'm sorry for surprising you like this. In fact, I am your real father."

Karil was shocked and said, "My real father?"

Freako sighed and said, "When you were just born, I ordered you to be taken to the forest and killed. But after eight years, when I found out you were alive, I regretted it."

Karil hugged his knees and said, "Then why didn't you come looking for me in these seven years?"

Freako sighed and said, "Because I wanted you to have a good life and grow up without suffering."

Karil heard Kazaris's voice in his mind saying, "Don't trust this man. He's lying to you to use you!"

Karil stood up and said, "Sorry, but I have no interest in coming with you."

Suddenly, Freako stood up and said, "Karil, you don't believe me? I am your real father!"

Karil gave Freako a cold look and said, "Back then, I was just a helpless child, but now everything is different. I will never go back."

Freako's face twisted, and he clenched his fist and said, "Karil, I'm really sorry. If you don't want to come with me, I won't force you, but I told you the truth. Think about it."

Karil walked towards the door to open it. Suddenly, Freako laughed while placing his hand on his forehead and said, "You are not allowed to leave here, devil!"

Karil looked at Freako and said, "What?!"

Freako smirked and said, "Kazaris, I know you're there. Show yourself."

Kazaris emerged from Karil's body, warming his hands and said, "The game just got exciting. It was getting boring."
