Chapter Two: An Infant Angel?

In the castle of the Kingdom of Lucifina.

Every Demon Mage was confused. Did they fail the summoning?

The man with a crown stood up from his seat. "You are all failures. It's a child! Not an overpowered monster!"

"We're sorry, King Zirian." An elder demon mage said. "We summoned something with great power, so great in fact that a few of my best mages have died!"

Zirian Lucifer, the Demon King, sat back down. "Bring me the child and the basket it's in." He had long flowing red hair, tanned skin, and two large red wings. The demons in this world can be born with mostly human features, however it is uncommon. The King and his siblings are the most beautiful and handsome demons.

He wanted to summon a powerful monster or person, in order to wage war on the Human Empire of Stravos, seeing as they killed his mother, Satin Lucifer. His siblings however felt differently, vying for peace.

Zirian was the most stubborn among them, so they left, vowing only to return if Zirian changed his tune.

A mage walked up to him with the basket in hand, taking it, Zirian shooed the mages away as he went to his chambers. 'What are you to be summoned instead of a monster?'

He took out a note in the basket. It had the child's name on it. 'Alice Night. A somewhat strange name for a human.' He picked up Alice, who was still unconscious, realizing that two beautiful black wings had emerged from her back.

"Oh! You're a Fallen Angel!" He also noticed the marking on her shoulder: A broken halo. "That makes some sense, but Angels haven't messed with this world in so long, are you a message?" He looked at the note again, turning it over, he found a message.

Note:

Whoever finds our child, please take care of her. She was marked as a traitor as she was born with skills no Angel should have. The Court of Generals thought that it would be best to turn her wings black and exile her from Heaven's Capital City. We pray for the one who finds her, that you will take care of our precious daughter.

- Michael Night

Zirian laid the note down and looked at the baby on his bed. "It could be worse!" He was actually someone that wanted a kid, however he had yet to find a demon worthy of the title of his wife. Actually, he never looked. He was sure he could find one soon enough though.

"Let's get you settled in." He picked her up and walked over to a rocking chair that his mother had left him. He sat down and quickly fell asleep, Alice in hand.

- Awakening Host -

'What? Why are my hands so small?' Alice remembered the system making her become a baby. 'System, why did you do that?'

- Host could replace the baby of the Angel, Michael Night -

'Where did the baby go?' Alice asked.

- ... -

Alice looked around the room as she thought about the System's answer. She noticed she was wearing a white garment that covered her completely, and that she was being held by a man with long red hair and wings. He was asleep and they were sitting in a rocking chair.

'Is this Micheal?'

- Incorrect... Man Holding Host Is A King Class Demon -

'So then what happened to my parents?'

- Betrayed And Abandoned, Sent To The Mortal World... Host Was Betrayed -

A tear rolled down Alice's baby face and she began to cry, which woke Zirian.

"Hey, you're finally awake. Crying, but awake. Did you accidentally wet yourself?" He looked into the pink eyes of the infant and squealed inside. 'So cute!'

Much to Alice's surprise, she did wet herself. 'Right, I'm a baby again.'

Zirian changed her and began telling her stories of the world, as she seemed to be able to listen. A few months slowly passed by and everyone in the castle wondered about the change in King Zirian's tune. He finally decided it was time for her to walk.

He put Alice down and walked to the other side of his bed chambers. "Alice, I want you to try waking to daddy." He had a big smile on his face that said 'You can do it!'.

Alice slowly stood up and taking one step, walked to Zirian. She continued. One step, two steps, before making it all the way to him.

"Good job, my little Alice!" Zirian praises her. A knock sounded at the door and Zirian allowed them to come in.

"King Zirian, Emperor Stravos is here to talk about the treaty you asked for." The guard at the door said.

"Send him to the meeting hall, I'll be there shortly." Zirian said, picking up Alice. "And you're coming with me!"
