Chris: People say I and Ren look alike. We might look alike to them but there are also some differences between us. Example, I have dark black hair and blue eyes. I'm tall but not that tall, at least I'm taller than Ren. Fair skinned. Okay, Ren is also far skinned. And I'm slim. Ren have golden—blonde hair and red eyes. And his hair turns red when his demon side magic activates. He's short and slim. You see, Ren is like the cute version of me except I have dark black hair and blue eyes.

Narrator: I see.

"You finally admit that you're a bad demon. And here I was wondering you were going to show your true self" said the courageous and fearless Chapter who was avoiding Eric's dangerously cold gaze that also spelt, 'I will kill you' on them.

He was also trying his best to ignore the murderous intent aura emitting from Eric.

Everyone was angry at Chapter's words but Eric was scarier than them all. Chris didn't know why Ren said what he said but he knew Ren. Ren wasn't the type for no reasonable explanation. It might have been an accident or it was for defense. Whatever it was, he needed to know now.

He looked at Ren who had a sad expression, looking down. He took Ren's hand to be of support to him.

To show Chris that he was thankful, Ren lifted up his head and gave Chris a 'Thank you' smile.

"That's not what happened! I saw everything!" Eric defended Ren. He turned to look at Ren. Fuck! Ren looked so sad.

He hated that look. He wished he could wipe that look and put on a smiley face. That look just broke his heart.

"The night......."

Wait, come to think of it, how did Ren get kidnapped? Where? And what was he doing? Eric asked himself, looking at Ren.

Getting no answer, he decided to drop it and continue. Eric told them everything he saw in Henry's memories. How May made Ren kill Henry. He also told them about how Ren's memories were manipulated. Making him that Henry betrayed him. That he was a traitor.

He then added the last information about Ren's family and how they were under a spell. He told them about the fake memories Ren had of knowing the fake truth that his family were maltreating him to make him strong.

Ren told him all these and he told them in return but he said nothing about Recal. Ren didn't want them to know yet. Not until Relly tells then the truth.

"I knew those memories were fake. I was also confuse when I realised. I had no idea that too was May's doing" Ricky said in disgust. He was really bewildered when he realised he had those fake memories. Telling Ren that he knew why his family were bullying him but was not reacting. What bullshit.

May was also involve in Ren's family maltreating him. No wonder Jack and Kelvin said she was the one who gave them the idea to bully Ren. Come to think of it, at that time, May was at the same age as Ren.

That meant they only listened to the kid May because they were under a spell.

Looks like she wasn't smart then. If she was, then she would have erased their memories of her or something.

"That fucking bitch!!" Chris exclaimed angrily. Ren smiled, happy to see that so many people cares about him. Eric had his hand, gently caressing in a comforting way and Chris also had his hand other. He really was blessed.

John watched Ren who was smiling with a deep frown on his face. "It still doesn't mean he didn't kill him"

Hearing that, Ren flinched, turning to look at John with a horrifying look. He was breathing heavily in fear as he recalled Henry's death over and over again. He was a murder, that's what he was. Eric was fast, covering Ren's ears before looking at John with and anger look.

"Maybe you should be in his fucking shoes! Just because he's a demon doesn't mean he have no feelings!! One more insult and I will forget that you are a member of the councils"

"You can't go against the councils" John replied, glaring at Eric with so much determination but Eric wasn't a weak coward.

"Try me and we will see. I will kill you, kill the other members and burn down the entire building" Eric said with a physco smile, his eyes filled with evilness, glowing with the colour that of purple.

Feeling the in coming danger, Chapter quickly reacted, he placed his hand on John's lap, stopping him from saying other word before looking at Eric, "Forgive him your Highness"

Eric snapped out, blinking to clear the fog. Feeling all the eyes on him, he took his hands off Ren's ears and took one of the glasses of juice on the tray on the table. Yes, the juice Celi served earlier.

He wanted to drink it to calm down his heavily beating heart and nerves. He took another glass for Ren which he collected with a "Thank you".

After draining it all down in one go, he placed the empty glass down on the tray.

Thinking Ren might be done with his, he turned to looked at Ren and sure enough, Ren was done. Ren handed him an empty glass. Looks like he also needed to cool down. Eric smiled at the though as he placed the glass on the tray. He wiped Ren's lips with his hand when he saw traces of the juice on them.

Ren gave him one of his sweet smiles as appreciation. Eric took Ren's hand as a source of support before giving the councils his attention.

" This meeting necessarily doesn't involve you guys, you can leave" Eric said in an overbearing, arrogant and commanding tone. The air in the room took a five fucking thousands degree turn. It was unbearable. Can you imagine?

Everyone felt. Eric had switch to royalty behavior and even John couldn't keep up his arrogant behavior. Eric's presence now made him superior than them all. Damn! Even the goddess and his son could feel it too even though they were more superior than Eric.

With their heads bowed, Chapter answered, "I'm sorry your Highness, but considering everything that is going on, working time is still effective. Please let us assist you"

"Then know you place"

"Yes your Highness" Both Chapter and John answered together.
