Cursed Thrones
Chapter 3 - The Situation

"W-what did you just say? The Blood of the Demon King?! Did I misinterpret something?!" asked Brian in surprise.

Brian tried to think positively because he had only been learning this new language for a few days. Might.... Maybe he misheard it or misinterpreted it?

But unfortunately, Cecilia shook her head as if what Brian had heard was true.

"You didn't misinterpret, Brian. In your body, there are currently three drops of Demon King blood. Take it easy, I myself also took a sip of 3 drops earlier." Cecilia replied with a friendly smile.

Instantly, Brian's body felt limp.

He had indeed been suspicious of the suspicious figure of the Elf. But did he not expect that the Elf before him was part of the Devil?

'This can't really happen.... Is this the same as in most novels and anime I have seen? Where is the protagonist summoned to another world as a Demon king then tasked with destroying the world?!'

Brian didn't want that thing on his mind to be true.

Not just because you don't want to kill anyone or destroy this wonderful world for you.

But also because he did not want a troublesome job like becoming a Demon King and then had to lead his subordinates. That's too much trouble.

It's just....

"Let's calm. I got 6 drops of that blood secretly. And also, I'm not part of the Devil King cult." continued Cecilia.

"I'm sorry but I don't understand the situation at all." Brian replied with a frown on his forehead.

After finishing her hunt, Cecilia looked at Brian right in her eyes and said.

"I think today's hunt is enough. How about we go home and I'll explain everything?"

Of course, without wondering Brian immediately agreed to it.

......***......

Cecilia residence

Both of them sat next to the dining table. Accompanied by a glass of warm tea, Cecilia began her explanation. Or rather.... The story.

"Far in the past, a mysterious demon was born. He has an appearance far from the word Devil. It can even be said to resemble a human figure.

The only difference was the blood red color in his eyes. Having neither strength nor followers, the 'disabled' Devil was banished and abandoned.

The demon was very weak, unable even to fight a dying wolf. But...."

Brian listened to the story carefully. Without missing a single detail. As if all of this is a setting in a game world.

With only a few candle lights illuminating, Cecilia continued her story.

"There is one power. The power that made him a figure, now known as the King of Devils. Immortality."

"So.... She can't die?"

Cecilia shook her head slowly and then replied.

"More accurately can't age. And with that power, little by little He strengthened himself to become what is known today."

Brian could only be silent. He never thought that what he was going through right now was real. But....

"Well, even if it's just a legend. In reality the Demon King had been killed decades ago, leaving only his blood and body parts scattered all over the world.

Those who could obtain body parts from the Demon King would become much stronger. Just like me and you. Although, there was a group of Demon King devotees who were trying to revive her." continued Cecilia while gulping down her drink.

After understanding the situation he was in, Brian finally asked one last thing. Which really bothered him all this time.

"Then.... What do you want from me? And why am I here?"

"Hmm?" reply Cecilia with a confused face.

"I just want to try one of the rituals that humanity uses to summon heroes from another world.

With the Demon King's blood as the catalyst, I honestly wish I could summon a powerful Devil from another world. But I'm not at all disappointed with the result." continued Cecilia while giving a gentle smile.

"You.... Not disappointed with me? Even if I'm this weak?" ask Brian back.

With that reply, Cecilia immediately walked away towards her room.

Leaving Brian alone in this living room. Thinking about everything he just knew.

'Demon King.... Bloods.... Summoning heroes from another world.... Guys....'

Brian remained silent in his chair. Trying to pervade all of this reality.

'So all of this is real? And I was accidentally attracted to another world by its rituals?'

Sipping the last few drops of the drink in his wooden glass, Brian stepped out of his chair. He walked towards a table with a few piles of paper on it.

A paper, which is nothing but the rest of the files from the office where he works. A file that should have been repaired before, is now attracted to him into this world.

Be a silent witness to his new life here.

Along with that....

'Bruk!'

Brian put down a black box-shaped object. That thing is none other than his cell phone.

"Is it too much if I wish I could charge my phone in this other world? Haha.... I think it's too much."

After returning to the table, Brian immediately walked back to the living room and slept on a chair.

......***......

...The Holy Empire Luvelia...

In the middle of this magnificent throne room, 12 statues stood firmly along its corridor. Unmitigated, the statue has a height of at least 10 meters more.

Various decorations and paintings are emblazoned so luxuriously in this throne room.

At the end of it all, is a bright white throne with some beautiful gems adorning it.

A man with pitch-black hair appears to be sitting on the throne. He shields his chin with his right hand.

"Your Majesty, one of the Holy Order's knights is about to report" said an old man kneeling before the black-haired man.

"Please enter."

'Kreeek!!!'

4 Soldiers with thick armor can be seen opening a large door in this throne room. Shows the figure of a Knight in a clean white robe behind it.

The knight had long white hair and was tied in a ponytail. With such a charming stature, the Knight immediately walked towards the Emperor.

"Report, Your Majesty." said the female knight.

"The demon hunt mission in the Valrune mountain region has been completed. A total of 827 low-level demons, and the three heiress demons Hecate had me executed." continued the female Knight.

Hearing the news, the Emperor only nodded lightly.

"Good job, Aeryn. Of the 12 bearers of the sacred commandments, you are one of the best." praised the Emperor, but with a flat face.

"Over-exaggerated praise, Your Majesty." replied the female Knight named Aeryn.

"What about the rest of Hecate?" ask the Emperor again.

"I have completely destroyed it." Aeryn replied.

This time, a faint smile was seen on the Emperor's face. He seemed happy to hear the news.

"Very good work. We can't let Hecate's blood, or any other body parts, remain in this world. Or the new Demon King will be reborn.

Now, a new mission for you. In the Frostbite forest region, some soldiers reported suspicious activity from the demon race. Investigate and destroy it all."

Raising her face and giving the Emperor a sharp look, Aeryn retorted.

"By pleasure, Your Majesty."
