Chapter 8: Demon king wants you dead

Following Tamiel to the dining table which didn't have any food on it they both took their seats with both party seating opposite each other with Tamiel at the head table and Lorian facing him the stern look in Tamiel eyes meant he was thinking of something 

"You shouldn't have gone out by yourself" Tamiel finally spoke as he sighed how s head resting on his hands 

"What was that creature that attacked us" Lorian asked feeling weird about the way Tamiel was reacting 

"You wouldn't like the truth " Tamiel replied noticing Lorian shift reslessly in his seat 

"So you really are a d-d-Demon and you weren't trying to scare me" Lorian said in a faint voice that felt more like he was talking to himself

"And why would i scare you" Tamiel asked raising his head and staring at Lorian

"And what you said about me been one"

" It was true you are a Demon" Tamiel replied with a gladdened face as Lorian had finally understood what he had been saying

"So what was that thing that attacked us" Lorian asked 

"A demon bird, a Screecher" Tamiel replied trying to gauge his reactions

"And why did it attack me isn't it supposed to know it's kind" Lorian asked 

"Screechers don't think like that neither do they think on their own they have a master servant service whatever their master orders them to do they do without thinking" Tamiel replied holding onto his knife as he prepared to dive into the food that was been served 

"That would mean someone sent it and that someone just tried to kill me" Lorian exclaimed his voice increased with every word as realization dawned that the attack wasn't an accident but a murder attempt

"Shouldn't we be contacting the police someone just tried to kill me" Lorian said in a panicked voice

"The police, the police wouldn't be able to help you in this matter" Tamiel replied as he imagined what will happen if an officer where to fight a Demon, hell the whole unit wouldn't even be able to hold a torch to their abnormal strength alone if they used their dark aura that would mean they would wipe out the entire government forces in the blink of an eye

"Well what do we do i am not just going to die" Lorian said staring at the food placed in front of him the aroma was nice but he had already lost his appetite.

"If it was just one random Demon that was after you we might have been able to bury him but this time it isn't any random demon it is the Demon king" Tamiel said as he wolfed down the food hungrily

"The Demon king" Lorian asked with a suprised look

"Yes and he is also your grandfather" Tamiel said looking at the suprised expression on Lorian's face 

"Why would my grandfather want to kill me why i am his grandson" Lorian replied

"He sees you as a threat to his throne" Tamiel said chewing on the food in his mouth before cleaning his mouth with a napkin and drinking some water "in the Demon realm power means everything and the Demon king has held that power in his hands for eternity and he still wants to hold onto it, your father was the only demon that could stand up to the Demon king in terms of strength and wits but not Demon aura. The Demon king saw your father as a threat but he couldn't just kill him because he was off use to him at that time but then your father began to rebel when he met your mother who was a human the Demon king tried to force your father to leave her but he wouldn't listen the celestial heard about the forbidden relationship and attacked your father but they weren't able to stop him you see your father always never revealed his true strength as a backup plan so when the Celestials attacked him they were shocked to find out that the Demon prince was able to go head on with two Archangels without stopping and from then on they never attacked him again and left him to his business until your mother gave birth to you a demon child born of two races the Celestials where furious and then the strongest Archangel came to kill you the forbidden child but I don't know exactly what happened and why you aren't dead but that day your father died fighting him for your sake" Tamiel said feeling exhausted from the narrating 

"My father was that strong huh" Lorian asked his gaze not leaving Tamiel's face all through the tale 

"Yes that's why they all fell threatened by you right now you have three options first is you let the Demon king win by killing you second you keep running but trust me you can't run from the forces of all the races third is you become stronger than all your enemies combined so no one will ever think of killing you" Tamiel said looking back at Lorian with a sharp gaze ' if the boy is anything like his father he would seek strength in order to protect himself ' Tamiel thought not shifting his gaze from Lorian in the slightest

"The last words of my mother was that i should fight for what i love and what my heart deems right i would fight cause i don't want to die "Lorian said holding onto the pendant that his mom had given him tomorrow was going to be the second day since her death and Lorian already missed her so much she was his rock and his home Lorian felt lost without her but he knew that he was going to survive cause something inside him kept on whispering to him that he would survive

"That was your mom necklace right" Tamiel asked staring at the needle like pendant

"Yes it was, she gave me before she died" Lorian replied tucking it back into his shirt 

"Since i am a demon can i do that face thing you did" Lorian asked curiously

"No you can't" Tamiel replied getting ready to leave the dining

"Why not" Lorian asked standing up to follow him 

"Right now your aura have been sealed you only have little aura seeping out from the cracks on that seal so no you can't do it and the moment you break that seal all the realms will attack you because they will feel threatened by the fact that your restrictions have been removed right now they aren't motivated enough to fight you or kill you so it is better to not motivate them into attacking do you understand "Tamiel said pushing him back onto the chair "now eat and go to bed " Tamiel added as he walked passed leaving Lorian alone in the dining room
