“Uhh!

I didn’t know he’d bring all that up,

but some people can’t just let go of their past,

ain’t I right Aeneas?”

After dinner Dimitri along with Theo, Aeneas and Vivian headed for a walk where Dimitri spoke while stopping.

As they stepped out to take a stroll, others headed to see their rooms and around the palace a bit.

Hearing him Aeneas nodded with his lowered head and tightened his fist, Theo could see him do so clearly.

After eating Naomi along with Cate and Nuae headed to sleep while others were invited by the ruler himself.

“Theodore!

I heard you summoned up a reaper earlier!

Do you remember how you managed to do that?”

Hearing him Theo shook his head and tried remembering the spell he used.

“Yeah, I think I remember it a little!”

Hearing him his eyes sparkled with curiosity, “Can you try it again! I just want to witness it with my bare eyes!”

“Will it be okay?

I mean will it be okay if I do it here?” Theo asked hesitantly.

“Yeah!

What can go wrong here!”

Hearing his assurance Theo began chanting the spell he used earlier.

His words were a bit unclear, but Dimitri seemed to understand it a bit,

both Vivian and Aeneas stood clueless!

‘What is he even saying, is that even a chant!’ Vivian thought.

After the chant finished Theo opened his eyes, but this time there wasn’t anyone next to him.

The Reaper didn’t come to his aid this time.

“I did exactly what I did the last time, I wonder why it didn’t work!” Theo complained before fainting and falling to the ground!

A soft glow appeared over him and vanished really quickly as well.

“Theo!

Theo!

What happened to him?

Why did you ask him something like this?”

Vivian asked Dimitri while controlling her composure.

“Don’t worry little one!

I knew it’d happen!

That reaper wasn’t being summoned, What I mean is that wasn’t even a reaper!

You just can’t summon one, every child knows this much!” He stepped close to him before continuing,

“Looks like you’ve found a gem Aeneas!

Do sharpen him well!

I really look forward to how he develops.

Oh, and you’ll need to wake him up!”

Hearing him Vivian gave him a questioned look.

“What?

Have you never heard about the sleeping princess, kiss him and he’ll wake up?”

This statement just made her head explode,

“K..K…

kk…kiss?

Me?

Wh... Wh…

What do you mean Kiss him?”

Her flustered reply made Dimitri laugh a bit, her blushed face and cherry-red cheeks were screaming that she had visualized it already,

“Ah!

Relax,

I was just joking,

you can carry him to rooms,

he’s having Mana deficiency; he’ll be fine by the morning.”

Saying this he could see her embarrassed face with amusement.

“Shall we go Aeneas?

See you later, young one!”

He patted her head while heading out.

She looked up with a blushed face only to see Aeneas smiling with a smug face.

Dimitri, without even looking at her could feel her anger toward Aeneas.

…

In the upper class of Nine Hells,

“Master, I don’t understand the reasoning of your actions!

You sent me once when he activated the spell and then restricted me later!

Is he really that important to you!

And who was the one to actually tell him the spell needed?”

An arch-demon spoke in a howling voice!

“This time was obvious René.

There was a certain person who could have seen through you right away!

I can’t risk sending you!

Of course, you wouldn’t have gotten beaten up by him but he surely would have understood right away that you are not a reaper,

a mere reaper is no match to you!

Did you tell him what I told you!” Diablo looked at him and asked!

“I did tell him,

‘This is the end of the beginning!’

though I don’t think he got it!”

“Ah! Well, it’s not like I’m in a hurry either! We need to make preparations.

Let him take his time, he’ll surely come to understand it one day, who do you think he is?

Well, we need to deal with one problem at a time there is some noisy bunch making chaos here!

Why are Defallages happy by killing just one of my copies?

We need to take care of him too.

Ah!

Too much work, but let’s take care of these low lives who dare hurt him!”

Saying this he got up from his throne and took a step while opening up a huge teleport for him and his army to head to the underworld’s warzone where a scared bunch of dark elves was waiting for the final showdown.
