Chapter 30 - Restless Night l

Despite the busting banquet hall, in the garden facing the building, a lone man walking leisury, he has tanned brown skin and yellowish blonde hair, one unusual about him is that he wear an earring in one of his ear, an clear amber crystal hanging in it.

'I can't believe it that there is so many annoying fly near that woman'

he said when he took a peak at one of the terrace, then he stopped by and leaning on one of the tree until he feel someone presence, an elf passing by ignoring him, he look at the direction the elf direction, Its the terrace he just saw, after he feel a few energy then it didn't take a long time until he saw how the elf and the man who obstruct him pannicked while carrying a woman.

'interesting'

Just when he want to tail them, he feel the amber crystal in his earring vibrate, he paused and hurried looking for safe place out of people, after finding a place where other couldn't see he close his eyes then chennel his mana to his earring, then transmited his Though,

'what happened?'

'Your Highness 4th prince! there is urgent message from the temple...'

After hearing the messages his face turned grim.

Yes, this man is the 4th prince of Helios Kingdom, one of the capture target and he goes undercover with the name Dante Araujo.

...

In the far north where eternal winter lies, there is a desolate world called the "Underworld". Deep down the frozen land, a loud buzzing sound resonated from the grand castle of demon lord. In the center, the white egg-like crystal turn into pitch black crystal. Then it emanated strong demonic aura like a tidal wave which alarmed other demonic creatures, causing them to go frenzy. Likewise, Ash abruptly turned into his demon form as his illusion fade off. He could slowly feel his demonic power fill up again despite the black sealing rune in his neck.

'Finally His Majesty the Demon Lord's soul descend.'

Suddenly he become gloomy, touching the slighty tight sensation in his neck he muttered.

"Not yet, just a little bit more"

*whistle*

Ash heard long seductive melodic whistle as he flinced and turn around to see the shining gold hair reflected from the Moonlight.

'Damn!' He cursed inwadly when he saw that face smile amused.

...

Lucas ploped himself in his favorite sofa, it was tiring day for him, there is only one week before his marriage so he need to prepared it, he was told he only need to select his wedding suit and anything regarding the bride but he would feel guilty to toss everything to his little sister (Lizzy) so he help her to arrange few thing so she could enjoy her graduation party, as for Allen? His good little brother is blind for fashion sense so usually his servant ask or actually plead him to wear matching outfit that end up creating his calm prince like halo for their bright choice color or else Allen would wear outfit with crashing color.

As for her bride? she just finishing her bride lesson and there is only time for choosing her wedding dress, well... the actual reason is we can't hand over the wedding planning of royal family to mediocare aristrocrate, also he didn't know her taste unlike Lizzy who have similar taste as him so their work would finish faster.

Before he could close his eyes, he smell familiar dense odor, he frowned and tried to figure out what is it then Suddenly his sleepy eyes woke up, he jumped out of sofa and run soundlessly to Ash's room, even if its called room it was large as normal house for commoner.

Lucas property, Lunar Hotel is five stories hotel and his own residence is the whole 5th floor with various room for his collection, hobbies, some selective servant and one of them is Ash's room beside his room.

Lucas could enter Lucas room easily since there is no lock because he confiscate it. what he saw over there is thick demonic energy that erode his illussion magic. Luckily Ash currently in his own room so no one could see his real form, Ember Sharp eyes, Ebony wing, metal like horn adorning his head, and translucent bluish skin like Jade that make him unconsiously let out whistle.

Lucas looked around him, how the demonic aura entered Ash's body and how his rune seal still there.

"Are you alright?" ask Lucas, he only know that this kind of thing would make demon goes frenzy though he don't know how it work.

Facing Lucas who look worried, Ash coughed.

"I think I am fine?"

"What the question? Is it your first time happening?"

"Hmm, my first time alive feeling how the demon lord awakening."

"So it's because the demon lord awakening."

"..."

Ash cursed because he accidently let out the information while Lucas feel like he heard it would happen soon but it his first time know how it happened.

"Your power slowly returning even with my seal." Lucas look at Ash sharply while Ash become defensive ready for battle.

"I am asking again, are you really alright? the sudden large amount of demonic energy entering your body should have some kind of side effect right?"

Ash startled, and he slowly examine his own body.

The seal Lucas put on Ash is one that would limit the usage of demon magic or power, but demon it self have special bloodline from the devil, a different source of power that come once the demon lord, the purest bloodline is awaken. This bloodline power come from demon's nature, the seven deadly sin. The closer themself from their nature, the stronger they become. So, once the demon lord awaken, these demonic aura that enable demon to this power would goes frenzy true to their nature. Lust for carnal pleasure, Sloth for sleep, Gluttony for food, Greed for material, Envy for perfection, Wrath for carnage, and In the casd for Ash is Pride for superiority.
