59 - Loss

"Mama..." 

Little Selvia with her little horn came over to Aldine who was sitting on a chair while staring at the black ceiling where there were also some red stars and a moon that had a blood red color.

Hearing the cute voice that sounded behind Aldine made her glance back and look at the frightened looking Selvia, the demon also had a nightmare and it seemed like Selvia had just had a bad dream. 

"Cup.. cup..." Aldine approached Selvia and she began to carry him, Aldine sat back in his chair and he began to place himself on his thighs.

"Mama... Selvia's afraid..." 

Selvia hugged Aldine tightly and she leaned her head against Aldine's chest to calm herself down, Aldine could only smile as this was the first time Selvia could see her nightmare, he immediately stroked Selvia's head slowly while giving several kisses on both cheeks.

"What are you afraid of, little devil Mama?"

"The nightmare... Selvia saw something bad, Mama."

Selvia held on to Aldine's shirt and it made Aldine more curious about the dream Selvia was having, Aldine began to feel Selvia's cheeks and she looked into her eyes with a calm look.

"Nobody can hurt yourself but you, Selvia. That nightmare, I'm sure you'll never be able to hurt yourself."

"Mmmm..." Selvia hid her face in Aldine's stomach.

"You told Mama...? What dreams do you see, baby?"

"mmm... Selvia saw... Selvia's chest is perforated because of Papa..."

"Because Papa...?"

"Mmmm... Selvia sees Papa fighting with a creature that has the appearance of a Human, Mama. That's very scary... Selvia is protected by the human, but Papa pulls Selvia and kills Selvia, Mama."

Aldine was quite surprised to hear that, the feared demon lord Rxeonal could have done that to Selvia in the near future. Selvia started crying in fear and Aldine immediately patted her back.

"Selvia's scared, Mama..."

"Mom knows..."

"Selvia also saw... Papa became an invincible demon, he became a demon with great power, Mama. Almost like the gods who created everything, Mama."

Aldine could not say anything but listen to Selvia, Aldine continued to stroke her head and Selvia's entire body began to tremble from her own fear.

"Selvia look... Papa declared a great war, it frightened Selvia, Mama. Victims are scattered everywhere and Papa looks like a monster, Mama..."

"The dream you see is not real, Mama believes that a demon like Papa will only do something he wants."

"Mmmm..."

"Thanks to the presence of you and me, Papa can control his feelings and desires as a king, if Papa had time to do that then Mama would have taught him a lesson, take it easy, my Selvia." Aldine looked into Selvia's eyes and she immediately stroked her tears.

***

Selvia opened her two eyes, it turned out that she had just had a dream about him since childhood.

"Is that a dream...? No way, I've been telling Mom about my nightmares ever since."

Selvia soon got up from her mattress and she started wearing her underwear immediately and opened the curtains so that a light source could enter her room.

Selvia took the clothes that had been provided by Aldine, there is a note from Aldine who said that he had to rest because practicing too often will only make his endurance weak.

"Free to ban me, Mother. I can practice inside my mind." Selvia opened her refrigerator and she immediately picked up a loaf that had some eye toppings.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SORRY!? WHO WOULD HAVE PREJUDICED THESE ORPHANS, HUH!?"

Yusa's screaming voice echoed throughout the room including Selvia's room so it made a bit of a shock, she immediately left her room to approach the source of the loud voice earlier.

"There must be another problem with Yusa..."

When Selvia approached Yusa's room, she eavesdropped because she did not want to interfere with Yusa's affairs.

Selvia could sense some demonic existence within Yusa's room, Rxeonal was also inside Yusa's room with Majin.

He saw Yusa being held by Vier and Alisha, his expression also showing that he was upset with Rxeonal.

"Why are you guys so calm...!? Not that the Oni village is currently in danger, there are some traitors who are pretending to be Oni right?!"

Majin has told Yusa and Rxeonal about the truth, all these misunderstandings have come to an end but Yusa's emotions are burned because she knows the name of the demon who killed Alter, Inugami Inaru.

Rxeonal and Majin could only remain silent, going to the Oni village was now a suicide as the village was also bound to be attacked by the Giblists, Rxeonal is more concerned with the two demons of his powerful army, Majin and Majiru.

Rxeonal had already apologized to Yusa, but he did not accept the apology when he learned of his selfish attitude as the king who let his followers die just like that.

Yusa immediately moved towards Rxeonal and held onto her collar, Vier and Alisha could not hold Yusa back because her increased power was quite large.

"Do you call yourself king, Rxeonal?" Look at Yusa sharp.

"... ..." Rxeonal could only remain silent.

"Was a king willing to abandon his followers who already trusted their own king!?"

"Their killing is none of my business, if they can't protect themselves then they're the same as trash."

"Have you ever seen their feelings...!? They all suffered and asked that they all be saved by their own king...!"

"I know their feelings... But if I'm the one who knows their feelings, if they can tell how I feel about losing someone I trust so much."

"That doesn't make sense...!!!"

"Jose... You better take care of yourself, whatever that nickname is. You're a demon of fate and you can't change destiny about Giblis, my followers die with this respect from me."

"Sad...!!! You only became king because you wanted to create your own rules...!"

"Take me off."

"Do you call yourself a wise and charismatic king!?"

"No...!!! I'll teach you a lesson for making me suffer from the beginning--"

"DUMB TIME, YOU LOWLY DEVIL!!!" Rxeonal pushed her back, making Yusa almost fall.

"Pacify yourself, king." Majin.

"You will never know my true self, Yusa...! I've tried to protect all my followers and it all ends up being dead! No one survived even if I let them and protected them!"

"What should I do, huh!? Trying to achieve peace for my own nation and the universe is hard...! I better think of another way to bring peace, a new justice to the Devil nation!" Rxeonal can still control himself, he will not attack Yusa because he does not want to create any more conflicts.

Yusa came forward and pushed Rxeonal several times, "Try on...! Don't give up on losing someone you trust!"

"If I can do it then... We Devils have embraced peace!!!" Rxeonal pushed Yusa backwards.

"Guil yourself, Yusa! If you want to... You go alone to the Oni village and defeat the three Inugami demons in disguise!"

"Grghhhh...!!!" Yusa's patience ran out making both her eyes glow red.

Yusa moved towards Rxeonal and hit her cheek hard enough, after which she tried to break her horn.

"Enough with that shit of yours, you bastard...!!! Precisely who had made me like this from the beginning, huh!? My struggle was in vain because of that gatekeeper, my mother was killed by the demon Inugami, and lastly I was betrayed by the entire Oni nation including you!!!"

"Oi, stop!" Vier immediately takes Yusa backwards and secures her from Rxeonal.

"I can't take it...!!! I don't accept the fact and apologize to someone who's too late...!!!" Yusa starts to cry because she really feels like she lost someone, Alter.

"...Hix... Damn it... Mum..." Yusa kneels on the floor, she starts crying because of Alter's loss.

Rxeonal and Majin immediately leave you Yusa because their task is done there, Rxeonal gave Majin orders that he along with Majiru will immediately go to Oni village to see the condition of the village.

Selvia could only remain silent as she stared at Rxeonal who left without realizing it.

"Dad... What kind of peace are you trying to achieve?"
