-LIAVE CASTLE, CAZELLE DISTRICT, HELL-

Langkah gadis berambut panjang yang dibiarkan terlepas di paras bahu diatur sederhana ketika menyuluri salah satu ruang koridor di dalam istana berwarna hitam yang dikelilingi oleh lava api panas.

"Is my dad here?" Suara gadis it kedengaran sedikit resah " or he still causing havoc somewhere?"

Para pelayan yang memakai baju suit berwarna hitam bagi jantina lelaki dan dress serta apron hitam, matching hairband for the female one with a pale face, black irises and red lips menunduk hormat di kedua arah koridor ketika gadis itu berjalan melintasi mereka.

"Princess Celeste, King Adriel is in the dining room." Balas seorang lelaki berambut putih yang setia mengikuti dari belakang.

Caleste berhenti melangkah."oh really."ujarnya.

Dengan satu petikan jari, tubuh gadis itu menghilang dari ruang koridor tersebut.

Hanya untuk muncul di ruangan makan luas berwarna hitam yang dihias dengan ciri reka bentuk Victorian. Meja makan its dialas oleh kain berwarna merah gelap.

Giving the room a mystical aura.

Di meja makan panjang yang diletak di tengah ruang itu, dengan lilin yang menyala malap, kelibat seorang lelaki yang sedang duduk di kerusi utama dan menyiku tangan di dagu kelihatan.His long and slim finger, mengentuk permukaan meja dalam retak perlahan.

"Tap..tap..tap.."bunyi ketukan itu bergema di seluruh ruang makan.

His face making a bored expression.

"Daddy!" Panggil Celeste,sedikit ceria lalu duduk di kerusi berdekatan dengan lelaki tersebut " I thought you off somewhere again, destroying the three realms."

Adriel senyum sinis. His black irises look at her sharply. Rambut panjang anak gadisnya diusap " you think I'm that bored?"

"You face sure look like it." Spontan Celeste menjawab " dad, you should talk to Riel. Your son losing his sanity and you still wasting your time here, doing nothing?"

Usapan it berhenti, kening Adriel diangkat " Even if he wants to eliminate all those stupid bastard and their races, why should I care? It's normal for us demons to ruin something after all."

"But dad!" Muka Celeste kini muncung " I want to finish my school life in peace. Can you at least help me achieve that?"

Adriend chuckled "Why even bother my dearest daughter, the school were just a concealment used by us to make those idiot's in Ravaryn blind their eyes on our malevolent act "

"Caless has fun dekat sekolah tu daddy so don't you dare ravaged my hard work making friends there."Anak mata hitam milik gadis itu kembali bersilau " or I never forgive you"

"Oh?" Riak wajah Adriel looks full of enthusiasm, teasing his daughter " if you have the gut to do that then sure."

"No wonder you one of the devil king's daddy " Celeste menyumpah "No one life ever matter or have meaning for you, even me, your flesh and blood."

Adriel just smiles, a smile that appears wicked but at the same time looks extremely seductive, making his already charming and handsome face becoming more ethereal than ever "demons do not know how to love, my dear daughter."

"Then if that true then can you explain why is Riel acting like that after Audrey dies?

Adriel tidak menjawab persoalan Celeste. Lirikan matanya memandang muka gadis tersebut.

"I wonder." He said after a moment of silence. " did the knife curse influence getting into his head to make him behave the way he was right now?"

"You know how to be in denial too?" Celeste mengumam perlahan.

Her father might be the almighty king of hell and all but he sure was sucks when it comes to this kind of thing.

Pintu ruang makan itu dibuka sebaik sahaja ayat yang digumam oleh Celeste selesai diucapkan.

Bayangan wanita cantik, with light tone skin, dark red lipstick, rambut panjang yang dilepas sehingga paras punggung, and deep black irises, glancing at them with a nonchalant expression. The dark dress she wearing with a flower pattern makes her look elegant but ruthless.

"Mother" suara Celeste tidak seceria saat dia memanggil Adriel sebentar tadi.

The woman walks in graceful step, taking her place on the chair next to Adriel " Celeste."

Tona suara kedua mereka sound so formal. There no feeling of warmth as a mother and daughter should have toward each other.

Adriel kembali meletakkan pergelangan tangan di bawah dagu. His gaze also turns glassy cold, staring at her "what makes you come here, Estrella?"

The woman, yang kelihatan tidak peduli dengan layanan dingin suami anaknya makes an enticing smile "my king, as far as I know, this castle was my home , it's natural for me to walk into any room I want."

Adriel tidak menjawab. Matanya masih memandang tajam kearah wanita it "what do you want."

"My king" wanita itu kini melihat Adriel " I heard bizarre rumors that Ravaryn will take action on our son, is it true?"

Adriel rotates his eyes " since when did you care about the children?"

"Of course not." Estrella menjawab jujur " what I cared about is our district become the laughing stock in the demon realms, maybe the other two realms too if we let them take action to our son, don't you agree my beloved king?"

Kuku panjang miliknya yang dicat hitam kini menyentuh tangan Adriel yang berada di atas meja " as the first king on the throne and one with the most authority, you surely won't let those lowly being from human and heaven realms mistreat us, won't you?"

"Know your place" Adriel indifferent voice echo, he pushes away Estrella's hand " if you think I'm that powerless, maybe it's time for you to wander to another king territory "

His meaning was clear, shut up or I banish you from the empress seat.

Estrella smiled again, knowing the man's hidden meaning and his personality "my king, of course not. How can I ever have that kind of thought? I always believe in you, my love"

Celeste yang melihat dari sisi kedua perbualan ibu bapanya menyilangkan tangan.

She making a judging face toward both of them

The demon doesn't know how to love and cherish others huh?

Point taken. Just look at those two, their might have a child and rules this territory together but without a second thought, they will slash each other throat if the situation is needed.

That just how the demons are, merciless and cunning.
