After receiving Cleon's invitation, we decided to dance. Our left hands were embracing each other, Cleon was embracing my waist, while I was embracing her shoulders. Our right hand held each other, and then we started to move to the rhythm of the music.
Sometimes I step on Cleon's feet and apologize. Also several times Cleon groaned softly because I accidentally stepped on his foot. However, she still forgave me and continued to teach me how to dance well.
My face flushed slightly, my heart was also beating faster than usual. It's all because Cleon and I were dancing and I was somehow embarrassed when we were around, when we used to play together when we were kids.
"Your face is flushed, are you okay?"
"Eh? Ah, I'm fine. I'm just nervous right now!"
"That's it."
Moments later, the dance was over and we went to the place where Anna was.
"Well, you're better now Ellen!" praise Anna for giving me a glass filled with fruit juice.
"Not really, all this thanks to Cleon who taught me the steps! Ah, thanks!" reply me and take the glass Anna gave me.
"Oh yeah, Papa was looking for you and your family! He said there was something important to be told!" said Anna to me.
"Then I better find my family first!"
"That's not necessary! Your family's already there, you're all that's left!"
"Then why didn't anyone tell me that?"
"Hmm, you and Brother Cleon were dancing. That's why no one wants to bother you!"
After hearing Anna's explanation, it all made sense. So the three of us decided to immediately go to the place where Demon King Kruelga and also my other family were.
On the way, we talked about how we met each other. I was 4 years old, and so were Cleon and Anna. Their family came to visit our family, it just so happened that I was training with fire magic. So I didn't know that any of the Demon King's family came to visit us.
I met a girl who was crying and called her Mom and Dad. I thought he was a lost servant boy, but when I saw his Noble-like shirt, I decided to take him to the park.
Not long after, a boy came and introduced himself. He was Cleon, he was looking for his sister Anastasya. It turned out that the girl who played with me was Anastasya and we finally decided to get acquainted and become friends.
Unbeknownst to us, we were at the door where the Callistas were gathered. Without hesitation, the three of us opened the door and while inside, I could feel an overwhelming tension here.
"Ellen, come here son!" mother's orders.
"Good, Mother!" I sat down between Mother and Sister Sarah.
"Alright, because everything is here. Let's get to the point. Zigurd!"
Uncle Kruelga called an old man who was no stranger to me, he was the Head Priest who helped hide two troublesome Title for me.
"According to your orders, Demon King!"
The chief priest named Zigurd immediately took out a tablet and arranged something there. Then he asked me to show you the status I have. But before that, Uncle Kruelga told everyone who was here not to say anything after getting out of this place.
What really happened, Dad? I was a little confused by what my uncle said. But after a while, I remembered that the status data I had was already sent to the Demon King, who turned out to be Uncle Kruelga.
I sighed before saying, "Open Status!"
STATUS
NAME: Elena von Callista
RACE: Demon
HEALTH: 450000
MANA: 1500000
LEVEL: 1ST
TITLE: Reincarnator, The Next Demon Lord, Talented Demon Girl.
I closed my eyes and sighed knowing the facial expressions of my family and the few people who were there except for Zigurd and Uncle Kruelga who were not surprised. I asked what this meant to Uncle Kruelga.
"Brother, what does all this mean?"
"This is Elena's true Status hidden from the public. Elena was actually a Reincarnator and also the next Demon King's successor!"
Everyone there felt like they were being smitten with reality. I can only bow with guilt for hiding this.
"Elena, can you explain all this yourself? Or do I want to explain it?"
Uncle Kruelga asked me this question, while everyone's eyes were on one person, me. I sighed and began to explain my true self to them.
"I, my real name is Karen Widya. I was a human in a previous life. I reincarnated into the body of a little girl named Elena von Callista. Right, I'm the son of both of you, father, mother!"
"When do you remember your previous life, my son?" ask Mother.
"When I was born and was still a baby. At that very instant, I obtained the Title of The Next Demon Lord. Sorry for keeping all this a secret!"
My tears fell, those who were there said nothing. They are waiting for my explanation, which is why I will explain everything to them. I'll tell you, honestly. Not as Karen Widya, but as the son of Yorzick and Fiamma. Elena von Callista!
"I'm actually, scared! When I explained all this to you and found out that I used to be a human being. I'm afraid you won't talk to me again! I. hiks.I do not want to lose the family that has loved me since childhood, taking care of me until now. I was afraid that Mother would throw me away when she found out I wasn't really your son! I'm-i-"
Mom immediately hugged me, her tears flowing and wetting her face. He hugged me very tightly, it made me feel warm.
"No matter who you are, no matter you are a human named Karen Widya. Ellen is my son and I believe you are my son! Because I am the one who brought you into this world and not anyone else!" obviously Mother.
"That's right Ellen, right now you're no longer Karen Widya! You're my sister, Elena. Not anyone else!" added Brother Sarah who also hugged me.
Rena didn't say anything, she just came over and hugged me. It makes me cry so much. Father, Cleon, Anna, Aunt Vera (Note: Kruelga's wife), as well as everyone there could only smile at this incident.
***
After a bit of calm, Uncle Kruelga started to tell me what purpose he was calling me here.
"Elena, maybe you've guessed this. But I'll ask you directly. Will you, continue what the other Demon Lords have given you to guard the Demon Realm?"
I was silent for a moment, thinking of the right answer. Since it's a little wrong, it's likely that I'll be executed immediately. So I need to be able to find the right answer. If it is my destiny to become a Demon King, then I will accept it.
"I'm still confused. I used to be a Human and was reborn into a Demon. I also read history books often, Humans and Demons are at odds with each other. Even the dispute shows no sign of the termination of the dispute. Is it going to be okay, handing everything over to me who is this former human? That's what's on my mind right now" I explained.
"In your previous world, there were only humans, right? There's no magic or various races in there, right?"
"No, there are various races actually. But they are still humans and not other races like Elves and such. My previous world also always fought wars to get what they wanted. Even they were willing to kill a brother or a family in order to achieve their goals."
"They make no difference, whether it's in Rahtel, or Earth. Everything they do, he said for peace. But actually, they are the reason why there is no peace in this world" Uncle Kruelga explained in a disappointed tone.
"I asked you one more time, Elena. Not as Karen Widya who is a human, but Elena von Callista who has the title of next Demon King. Will you continue the determination of our forefathers and create eternal peace for all races?" uncle Kruelga asked me again.
I steadied my resolve and said, "I'm ready! But not now, I still want to make sure everything with my own eyes. Can they change or not? I want to see it, the future I want to create."
"As it seems, you want to be an adventurer?" uncle Kruelga asked, I only nodded in response.
"Alright, but I want you to get into Kalzaream Academy and graduate there! After that you are free to register to become an adventurer. You agree?"
"I agree!"
With this, I officially became the next Demon King's successor.
