Departure

  I woke up and you know the rest.

  Two days went by after the that whole thing. I just didn't know how to react to all of that, I've seen lots of things in my life. I mean war, people died protecting me and I didn't get the greatest childhood. I mean been overprotected is too much. Some may call me spoiled, guess I am in a way.

  But, after leaving what I knew in my life, well, being kidnapped for a new life, I knew I had to atleast, some what try to change things and for that 1st I need to meet the demon king.

  So..., we decided to depart after 3 days we received the letter. It would take us

  "Atleast 6 days to get there" as terese said it.

  The demon king is, "Has a bad temper, talks too much with his fists and hates bordom"

  according to guyroah.

  I don't really want to meet this man. I mean he's going to more difficult to deal with, but, I do have to meet him, so...., better now than later.

  we got into a carriage, Liroah, terise and me. We left the place I called home for sometime. It got smaller and smaller and then got covered by grass trees.

  we left ant-artica and we were heading towards the demong king.

  1St I need info and the 1st people to get info from is non other than my travel buddies.

  "so........, what's the demon king like?"

  yup, a strait shooter.

  "You don wanna know" terese.

  "I asked because, I DO wanna know"

  "He's a good person, he treats his people fairly, he do his job properly unlike his fat-"

  "Wait, the demon lord had a so-" said charlot intrupting liroah

  "Yup"said terise interupting charlot

  "Y-you know, I don't really feel well, I'll just get off this carriage and walk"

  "Where, to the humans" terise left a laugh replying to me.

  "That's the plan" I answered.

  Terise stopped the carriage and opened the door and "You may walk, my lady"

  "T-Terise, I was just kidding"

  "Then, we'll contuniue our travels"

  the carriage started moving.

  The demon king being demon lord's son is bad news for me. Like, he will kill me. Oh right, he'll first touture me then, kill me. If I'm lucky.

  And I stayed quite for a while and waited.

  Like a lion waiting for his prey, for the perfect moment and I saw a opening to start a coversation,

  "so........, where are we going?"

  "are you sick? I mean we're going to meet the demon king" liroah, said.

  "uh....., I was asking the location, like the place"

  "Didn't we mention it already?" Terise asked.

  "I don't think so"

  "Heaven, the demon capital"

  "Wait, can you say that again because, I think, I didn't hear it clearly"

  "Heaven" liroah said, calmly?

  "oh......, that makes sense"

  are they serious, like, like, calling the demon capital heaven, Are they crazy or are they mad.

  "can I ask the origin of the name?" I asked

  liroah and terise looked at each other and then gave each other a smile and then terise answered.

  "You'll know why, when you get there"

  The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

  "why?"

  I have to wait a whole week to know about this name. *Sigh

  and a whole week went by.

  haaaaaa.

  I wish.

  We were travling for 2 days now. I've been doing nothing but, been silent and having some occational small talk. This was my life have come to. Nothing but, bordom, is this how I'm gonna die?

  "No" terise answered.

  "did You just read my mind?"

  "No"

  "Then how did you answer my question?"

  "So, charlot has finally lost it" she left a sigh and her big brother was looking outside like he didn't see anything.

  "I was answering his question."

  "What question?" I mean nothing better to do anyway.

  "uh......, you don't wanna know about this, trust me"

  "Now I really wanna know"

  "Ok, terise asked me does that cloud look like a mountain to you, I said no, but like two mountain peaks and then terise said like a ass and I said nah, more like charlot's face and she said no and before she continued, well...., try to continue someone said did you just read my mind and someone said no and someone sa-" it was liroah

  "Ok, ok I get it" I stoped him. I mean this is just sad seeing even the cool headed liroah loosing his cool. Wait, is he even that much patient.

  our journey continued. Yeah, it didn't.

  a bandit appeared. He was bullied by the maids, we only had like 4 maids with us and that's it. 4 maids, a carriage. I mean don't you need more protection, weird.

  we countined our travels like nothing happened.

  3 days in life was hell for our travel. Because, my butt hurts, I mean. Sitting on

  a carriage all day isn't good for someone.

  I mean stting on one spot is nothing new for me bu.........t, sitting on a carriage, the bumpes on the road, yeah, it is a great thing to feel. Then again, the human kingdom didn't have, this many undeveloped roads.

  anyway each secound we got nearer to the demon king and every secound I felt my death coming? approching? or was it my butt?

  Anyway, think positive thoughts not negeative once. After 3 days, the roads became more, well, less bumpy and that ment civilization is near. Ah! Sweet people atlast, I'll take demon, human, elves, dwarvs or even a mythical dragon as good sign.

  and as I have suspected, a fortress became claer futhur away.

  Around a hour we made it 3/4th of the way there, the suprising thing was it was quite, I mean too quite. Inside the carriage atleast. Liroah was a sleep and terise was staring blankly at the trees we were passing by and I can see the occational sigh too.

  I mean terise been like this, something is wrong, really really wrong. That means only 1 thing to do, stay quite or I'll pay dearly.

  Ah! What a pretty tree.

  then we passed a, what looked like a checkpoint. The guards didn't stop us instade I heard a bell from the guard tower we passed by and we made it to the gate.

  There were a lot of demons in line waiting to pass the checkpoint and 1 guard screemed "CLEAR THE WAY!!! CLEAR THE WAY!!!"

  Every demon there made way to carriage and the guards saluted while every demon around gave a bow and the one who is getting all of this is dozing off inside and terise is, well, sighing. Seriously, I haven't seen this kind of reseption even on the human kingdom, Even for the king.

  and the ones who're geting this is like that.

  when the human king goes in, it's always

  LONG LIVE THE KING or FOR THE KINGDOM OF HIGH HEAVEN.

  In here, it's not fear not even cheers. It's respect, clear respect twords someone. It's weird in a way.

  As we went inside it's a small city inside, but I can clearly see a straight road to the middle to a castle and it's not big like highgar. I mean there's a small town, not even a city around the castle. The walls are build like a fortress, no wonder I made a mistake recotnizing it. The whole thing is made for war, inside I can see the the whole thing is in a weird way. Like two sides are futhure away than the other two sides, I can't guess why anyway, atleast we made into the city, I won't die,right?

  we made to the castle and there was a welcoming party and a man who was dressed to the fullest, I mean on his shoulders a animal pelt, a suit made out of the finest matireal plus he was waiting.

  the door opened and he looked foward, everyone around him bowed, I got out, then liroah and finally terise. Then, both of them bowed and I was suprised but, I followed along and the man infront of us said "YOU MAY ALL ARISE" He said it emotionlessly then everyone stood up and the man infront of us came near terise and held her hand and said

  "Ah! Terise my love, how much have I missed you"

  and terise

  "Tough luck, demon king you need to try more harder to win my heart"

  "I will" and he was nodding.

  the he looked at liroah and came near him and "Liroah" wait, that's it.

  "Greetings to you too demon king"

  then he looked at me and approched me

  "You must be the lucky lady, well, you are beautiful indeed but, you're no match for my dear terise"

  and a stomp, Then a demon king jumping around.

  I saw nothing, yeah nothing. Hmm hmm

  The demon king stopped and came near me

  "I know he might be a handful but, take care of him for me" and he bowed to me.

  "W-why?" It left out of my mouth.

  "He's like a brother to me, well, he's gonna be my actual brother ib tge-" another stomp.

  "I'm not that strong"

  The demon king gave me a smile screemed I'm in pain and

  "That's not what I was talking about, well, atleast he's not against the idea of marrying you"

  "what makes you so sure?" I had to ask.

  "If he dosen't like it, he would have already told you by now"

  I looked at liroah, and he avoided my gaze.

  I looked at terise, and she avoided my gaze.

  I looked at the demon king, and he avoided my gaze. "WHY?!!!" I screemed.

  then the demon king said

  "anyway, you must have had a long journey so, rest at my castle. I have made preparation for you all, and......" he was looking at me

  "charlot highgar silver, your magesty" and I gave a bow.

  he gave a little smile and

  "Ah! Right where were my manners, It's greywolf lonfang, it's nice meeting you princess charlot of the human kingdom"

  and he gave a small bow.

  "The pleasures mine sir greywolf"

  "I'll talk with you at dinner because....."

  he was glancing elsewhere.

  "Ah! Right, I won't bother you two lovebirds, good luck, your magesty"

  "I like you charlot"

  "Is that something you declear to you're future sister in law?" I gave a smirk

  "You may have won the battle but, I'll win the war" and he ran towards terise.

  by what I can see, terise dosen't really hate him, well, she dosen't like him that way either. But, in reality for a marriage to work the most important thing isn't love, unwavering trust or even anything grand. It's friendship, being good friends before being good lovers. Yup, a 20 year old is talking about marriage like she has any exprince at all in the field.

  well, anyway, we made it here. Time to relax a little because, my ass is killing me.
