Worries

A week later Derrick was fully healed, Rosetta has been by his side, taking care of him would be a stretch but she has been keeping him company all this while, Rosetta's personal maid was with her and attended to her every needs in the dark territory.

Back in the room given to Rosetta, she was having a conversation with her personal maid

"Cassie what do you think about Derrick" Rosetta asked her maid Cassie.

"If I should be so bold young miss, the young Baron is exceptional both in talent and in looks and I believe in the future there would be alot of vixens around him, you must put your place in his heart before that happens" Cassie said with a bow.

"And how am I supposed to do that?" Rosetta asked looking confused, she knew how aloof and uninterested Derrick was at times and had only soften recently, she doesn't know how she could win his heart, they were engaged in name but that doesn't mean the engagement couldn't be annulled.

"Miss you only need to show your good sides to him and you are very beautiful miss, winning anyone's heart should be easy for you" Cassie said while smiling at her young miss.

"Okay you may leave" Rosetta said while sighing, she knew Cassie wasn't wrong but she wasn't in the mood for flattery, in the past days she has been here, she has seen many letters from various nobles congratulating the Dark's on surviving the war on, and at the same time trying to get more information on the exploits of Derrick Dark and it seems there was an envoy from the king that arrived in the dark territory yesterday and a letter bestowing something on Derrick for his exploits in the war and protecting the people from the monster rampage, she was getting worried on what would happen next.

Meanwhile Derrick has gone to see his Father and his mother was accompanying him there, the whole family of three was together and the doors were shut.

Baron Dark decided to start by saying "Derrick do you have any idea why I have called you"

Derrick looked a bit confused, his father said they would have a serious conversation as soon as he woke up but he had no idea what it was "Father I know it's about the war but I have no idea of the reason"

Baron Dark nodded before looking at his wife, Baroness Miranda, he wanted to hide this information from her because she would needlessly worry but it seems he couldn't anymore.

"Son you have to stay calm and you too dear because of what am about to say" Baron Dark looked at both his wife and son, who only looked back nodding their heads.

"Son it seems Demon King Zazel has taken you as his host, in the history books left by the Dark's ancestors about a millennial ago, there was one of our ancestors who had a contract with Demon King Zazel" while saying that he went and brought out a book, showing them a drawing of demon king Zazel, the book was so old that it could be torn apart by a simple pull.

"We were of the Duke lineage, our ancestor who became a host to demon king Zazel, was one of the strongest magic swordsman during his time, he helped in expanding the kingdom of Falzia, he was known as a war God, but due to his powers back then, the king feared him that his throne was at stake and decided to betray him, he was lead to a room which was enchanted, no one can use mana or aura in that room, with that about fifty trained soldiers trooped in, in an attempt to kill the war God, after losing more than half of the soldiers the war God perished but there were consequences, demon king Zazel Possessed the body for a short amount of time in rage massacred everyone in the vicinity killing all the soldiers, the king, the queen fell, and almost all the children of the king, the lineage of the king would have ended there, if not for the second prince not being in the vicinity, after everything demon king Zazel disappeared, with that the second prince ascended the throne, and we were stripped of our duke title and demoted to the barony, we were given the name Dark and banished to the dark territory, although it has been forgotten there were records of it within the Dark ancestry, the name of that ancestor was Louis Von White, but the history was changed by the kingdom and he was labelled a tyrant named Louis the demon" after explaining everything both mother and son mouth was open with shock filled faces.

"Hmm so you are the descendants of young Louis, that's why I could come back is been a millennial and I thought it was just a century" demon king Zazel said in Derrick head.

'I never knew you were someone important, I thought you were just a pervert demon' Derrick replied him, this left the demon king laughing, "kuhahaha when I was alive I had about five hundred women brat, you better be respectful"

Derrick ignored the demon and told his father "so father the demon has taken me as a host now"

"yes son, you must hide this from anyone and everyone, this can be a blessing for you and also a curse" Baron Dark replied which Derrick only nodded to.

"My baby, don't worry mama would protect you, is there any need to send Derrick to the academy?" Miranda asked while holding onto Derrick.

"If we don't send him to the academy, there would be suspicions and I plan to hold a big birthday banquet for Derrick on his next birthday for all those curious nobles to get to see him, even the king bestowed a certain immunity to him, so we have no choice" Baron Dark said with a sigh.

"Alright father, mother don't worry about me I will be fine, I just need to get stronger" Derrick replied.

After leaving his parents and going back to his room, he laid on his bed and sighed while saying "I have been dragged into something annoying ahh it seems no easy life for me, I am already tired"
