''A Slave contract. Apart from its curse , disobeying any order would trigger a penalty to the slave . It won't kill the slave but forced her to survive through all that pain.Its an absolutely cruel contract that was forbidden by our Demon King himself and not to mention no teachings or any type of record was to be publish or even talking or attempting it would result in death penalty. So why is it? Why is it that a mere human could create something like that? You what the hell are you?''
The mother was on her knees hearing that. Kiri seemed too shocked to even show a proper reaction. And with all that was going on a certain individual was focusing all his bloodlust on me. He was there sitting at one of the top seats.
The mother turned to him ''Dear? What should we do?''
Dear? So that means that dude up there is Kiri's father. Seemed like I made an enemy out of a terrible dude.
Everyone was out of order. Then someone from the top seat spoke.
''Human you are lucky to have held a noble demon daughter as your hostage. If not for that we would have dispose both you and your slave contract to your doom.''
''Hostage huh? Hmph. I See.Yo Kiri undo me off these chain.''
Kiri, still recovering out of her shock, slowly came and undo me. I could feel the disgust in everyone's eyes.
After all, they could only watch. Disobeying the contract would result in a penalty after all.
A voice different now came from the top seats.
''Human what do you wish by doing all this?''
''Nothing in particular after all I only came here out of curiosity.''
''Right now you are standing in front of the worst demons and you're staring death right in the face. Why is it that I sense no fear from you?''
''I don't really know how to answer that.( well if I had to say something. It's all been cliche for a while. I feel like I am living an anime but there is no way I can say that)''
''Even so for a mere human to invoke a forbidden contract it is impossible. I'm going to have to send someone to investigate your life.''
''I don't really mind but if you were to do something to my family then don't blame me what happen to your princess here.''
The crowd now anxious and looks at me with death glare and disgust.
Very well she replied, ''I assure you nothing will happen but we will interrogate them if we have too''
The moment she said that Kiri's mother stood up and said
''If that is the case let me do the investigation. I refuse to let some unknown human take control of my daughter like an animal.''
I was going to tell her off but for some reason my pity for Kiri and my conscience told her instead
''Very well, but don't forget your daughter life is in my hands.''
She looked at me and went back to her seat below her husband.
''For now the court is adjourned until further information. The Luxuria family will be responsible for the temporary protection, shelter as well as the human's needs.''
The mother exclaimed. ''We have to be responsible?''
''Well this is your daughter's failure looking at it from another viewpoint.''
'By the way before this court is adjourned. Human what is your name?''
I could feel everyone glaring at me at that moment.
Now that I think of it I haven't really introduce myself I guess and ''Since you're going to find out anyway my name is
Avareza L Ban, a normal college student living an ordinary life. Nothing more nothing less.''
I've hit a wall.. a huge wall.. a wall known as..The unknown. I can't seem to know what it is and I fear it might be my best or my worst choice. I keep hesitating and keep on contemplating. That unknown wall everyone keep on stupidly stumble upon everytime. Expectations, future, responsibilities; all unknown and unseen yet haunting. What must one do to choose? What must one pray to acquire. Are choices correct? Are decisions true? What motivates you? What keeps you alive? Are humans actually dead fishes? Continuously flowing, a goal without a choice. What is fate? Why does it bound us? What is destiny? Is it worth sacrificing one's happiness? What are questions to begin with? Why must they exist? Are we ever so doubtful? Why can't we just walk true? Walk pass the wall I walk away but still can't seem to ignore it. I swam across but always found myself on the same side of the river. When can the wall break down so I may cross it. Why is change so slow? Why is change so hard? Why am
How absurd! I cannot fathom just how insane these people are that they would do such a thing. Ten Million souls. That is seriously not a small number at all. And they said that they are destroyers of worlds? Does that mean that there are other worlds besides our own that we do not have a single idea of? And if what she said is true… Then does that mean that Galahad too, a long time back, was responsible for the death of Ten Million lives!Lord Drago: Your words seem to carry a lot of secrets, Spier.Spier: I acknowledge you as my master but you shouldn’t really pry on things you are not ready to know. You don’t want to know what happened to the last person who was a bit too curious.Ban: The last person?
Spier: To think you would wear it so confidently not even knowing what it is and what its abilities are. You are merely wishing for death. Lord Drago: How is that possible? Aren't all fragments of the Holy grail supposed to possess the symbol of the Holy Grail in them? Why is it that the ring does not? Are you mistaken? Spier: Obviously you’re just all too ignorant. Boy, set your senses on the ring and try to draw out its power. Ban: Set my senses? You mean like concentrating my Spiritual Sense on the ring? Spier: What else? Ban: Umm let me try. I closed my
Ban: The Zodiacs of Hell? Are you saying that Galahad is one of them, A Fallen Angel too?Lord Drago: Although the enlightenment that was shown to me when I formed the contract was short, it was enough for me to know at least much. That is why I had originally tried to keep it a secret and had thoughts of firstly asking you since you also had formed a contract with one but I find it odd that you did not receive the same revelation I did.Ban: Well I don't- huh? What?Lord Anex: What is it?Ban: Umm Lord Anex. Can you do me a favor and have everyone else except Lord Drago and Sir Murea, be transported somewhere save.Melinda: What! No
-Centuries agoA frail looking demon was on his bed waiting for his day to come. Along with him in his room were two young boys having a good time with each other.The Old Demon looked over to the two children playing and smiled a gentle smile like he no longer had any regrets. He called out to them and they both came running and jumped on his bed.“Father, are you going to tell us another story?’’ said one of the boys and the other one too was eagerly listening to what the old man had to say.“Haha, you two are always so full of energy, it makes me happy to be able to pass on my inheritance to you two. Although it makes me sad I might not be able to see you grow
Murea: Demons are unique beings that possess abilities and talents only a few humans will ever have. Although we are small in numbers, we have never fallen behind. When a demon is born, his lineage and what he inherits from his parents are decided and he will live with what he is born with for the rest of his life. No one can change that. At Least that's what we thought. Not many know of this but in the Avareza Familia hidden archives, lies so many secrets that are not known to anyone.Lord Drago: True, the Avareza domain is full of secrets and it was a spoken rule since the past that the other Lords shall not pry on these secrets.Ban: There is something like that?Murea: Yes.Even i don’t know the details of it and i fear Even Lord Lucifer knows very
Grey: I don’t know and I can't explain it well but it feels pretty clear that I don't have a feeling of greater loyalty towards Master Diego than to Lord Ban. Diego: Why is he calling me Master? Is that the effect of the contract too? Ban: Yes, as long as you havent change the conditions on your slave, he is forced to say and do things that he doesnt like or really mean. Kind of like a default setting if I have put it that way. Diego: That sounded really harsh.. Lord Drago: So how can we really prove that the contract had weakened? Before I could say anything Galahad just emerged out of my shadows and took a deep look at Gr
Diego: Huh! A slave? Can someone explain. Ban: No No, you misunderstand. You’re not going to be slave, youre going to be a slave holder. Diego: I really don’t know what any of you have been talking about since I was explaining a few things to my friend here. Lord Anex: Friend? Explain? So you brought someone who doesn't even know the current situation. Diego: Lord Anex, I am so sorry, I didn’t mean any harm.. Ban: No it's fine.It was my idea. The more the better. Sir Murea, you don't have to do that. Murea: Haha, my Son is scared.
A while back….The day after the incident with Murea.I wonder what I should do now. Last night was quite a hassle and we have hit a major clue on the case that happened two years ago. I will get back to training to make sure to reach the top at the Inter Academy Competition.“Ban…”Ban: This voice.. Is that you Galahad?Galahad: Yes, It is me.Ban: What is it? It's rare to hear you speak up. Did something happen?Galahad, my familiar would always stay in my shadow and would speak to me once a blue moon through telepathy. Even though he i
