A Demon Duchess
14. demon blood
*flashback*
Alvaro and Irene's wedding party is going on with a festive atmosphere, all the invited guests seem to be happy to welcome their new leader, but not a few are also worried about Astrantia's future.
Althea herself could only stand in the corner of the room holding a glass of juice in her hand, from the first he was not strong to drink alcohol so after trying it once althea did not want to touch him again.
"You look very kind to the man whom Lady betrayed." althea smiled lightly in response to the words. "in every war we need the count's master's strategy," said althea, twirling his glass. that person was the count Azalea one of the nobles who was quite influential in astrantia.
"I've always loved your thought and your sharp words, Lady," she said as she kissed althea's hand in greeting.
Althea looked up at the dance floor where no one was dancing now, and there were Alvaro and some of the neighboring country's envoys talking.
Althea took a breath and walked towards the exit which was a considerable distance away from where she was standing, but at once the view of the entire room was fixed on a knight in uniform whose entire body was covered with wounds and blood. The familiar Althea with the uniform could only fall silent.
his heart was pounding so fast he was afraid Althea was really scared! the knight hurriedly approached Alvaro, Irene who was beside alvaro also said, "basic disrespect!! you must have deliberately ruined my happy day!!" the knight hurriedly bowed "please forgive the disrespect of the Queen's noble servant, but there is a very important thing that I must reach to the King's Majesty." Alvaro nodded asking the knight to convey the important thing he meant.
"my dear apologies, I am one of the members of the knight led by his highness Duke Amaryllis with a heavy heart I deliver the sad news to the families of my fallen comrades, who have died," alvaro gasped he was really very surprised to hear the news.
"what about Duke?" alvaro asked, The knight just shook his head.alvaro nodded in understanding he took a deep breath.alvaro asked everyone's attention by climbing the stairs that were in the room.
"Sorry for having to deliver the sad news on a happy day like this, a few months ago I sent the Knights troops to fight against the neighboring country but with a heavy heart I announced the miscarriage of these country fighters." boisterous voices were heard everywhere.
Althea approached Alvaro with a feeling of anger. Althea reached out her hand to help the knight stand up "take him to the palace doctor." althea said to a person who was nearby without smiling even a hint of his voice sounded very cold and full of emphasis.
"Lady Amaryllis your father has done a lot of good" Alvaro told Althea, Irene, who was not happy with it, blocked alvaro's hand from touching althea's shoulder. "I'm sorry Lady Amaryllis but I'm sad that this sad news ruined my happy day!"
*plakkk!!!
Althea slapped Irene hard, now there was no patience left on her immediately the aura in the room became very dark and claustrophobic. "you!!" when Irene was about to slap back her hand althea could not even touch the face of althea.
althea's eyes had now completely emitted a red-coloured radiance that was really very frightening "hahaha.." althea laughed with a facial expression that greatly showed the contents of her heart she shattered completely shattered.
"what did you say? ruin your happy day? then I'm sorry that I'm going to make it tragic" Althea said. "Theana!!" alvaro shouted, easily althea threw irene to hit the wall that was very far from them.
seeing that the nobles were afraid not to play until they flocked out of there but before everyone came out althea closed it would lock the big door by freezing it.
"i-devil," said one of those who were terrified, Althea smiled at the hearing. he walked closer to alvaro who was helping irene stand up drop by drop of tears althea fell to form a very beautiful snowflake.
"i'm just grieving Alvaro," Althea said, "i-I don't even have someone who loves me anymore, for you it may not matter but you take away everything I have, you ruined my life." Althea positioned her hand as if she was grasping a sword and a second later the ice sword had been adhering beautifully to Althea's hand.
Althea had just prepared to slash alvaro's head but she instantly dropped her sword, "Dad.." Althea sat down limp while grasping the pendant she was wearing. Alvaro was quite confused by this situation.
what exactly is going on? who is Althea?
Althea stood up and flicked her fingers in how many seconds the entire room returned to how it was when people were trapped in the ice belonging to althea was now free the door was frozen was back to normal.
"why?" alvaro asked, "even if I kill you what you've lost won't come back," althea answered her eyes still in a flaming red state did not change in the slightest and showed no signs of changing, not even a hint, but anyone who sees it will know that the eye is showing a very deep sadness.
"actually why are you hiding this from me?" alvaro asked, Althea speechless Althea felt she had no obligation whatsoever to answer his althea questions.
"answer me Altheana!!" angry alvaro "don't piss me off Alvaro!!" Althea strangled Alvaro he was angry really angry.The royal knights who had begun to enter the room surrounded the althea with weapons but with one stomp the knights were bounced very far.
"you can be put to death for trying to kill the king a second time." Althea laughed at alvaro's unreasonable remark. Althea released the stranglehold yes from Alvaro's neck he intended to come out but there was a strange suddenly his heart felt very sore, his head felt very heavy.
*uhukk. Cough is not an ordinary cough but a bloody cough I don't know it feels so heavy to stay standing, I don't know, some of the Knights who felt Althea were carelessly trying to attack the althea but before that the flames spread everywhere a black-robed man caught Althea before her body touched the floor.
the man looked at Althea gently stroking her face gently and peeling under the eyes of Althea who was still wet from her tears earlier.The man took Althea away by jumping over the window.
at the top of a tree he stopped the wind managed to open his head coverings as black as night the same bright red eyes as Althea, under the light of his moonlight he hugged tightly Althea who was in his sling then kissed Althea's forehead slowly.
"good rest my month.."
