Daemos....Valkyrie? || My Inner Demons

Chapter 4: Royally Screwed

[3rd Person's P.O.V.]

"...What..?" Asch trailed off in disbelief.

"Princess...Should the Miss Aria-" "Polaria. That's my Mother's full name." Aschlynn cutted off.

"That's my Father's first wife...Does that mean-" "The Princess Lynn's mother is a Celestian Mage passable as a Human but she isn't one either." Sonata explained, "Meaning I'm half-daemos, half-celestian." Aschlynn cleared. 

"So...What's with the misconception part?" Ava now voiced her confusion. "You'll know....Soon." Soon, Enough Ava 'Ashamiya'. Aschlynn grinned internally. "What are you doing here anyway?" Asch snidely demanded. "I'm not going back to that hellhole and I'm here because of a 'job' from someone." The older ravennette answered just as annoyed.

"That would be?" Rhys insisted the question.

"Her Majesty, The Phoenix." I answered him this time, hoping for him to be terrified.

He was, the rest of the guys even along with Asch, now had a nervous emotion surrounding them.

"Wow, Daemos are fearsome but its rare to see them fearful. Who knew the Oh so great demon related specie would cower in fear because of a title currently held by a 15 year old." Polaria sneered.

"But that's the thing, Mother. Flora holds the title and she's the dread naught of her assassin clan and the demon of wrath. They're terrified of her because she's worth to be terrified by." Aschlynn rolled her eyes in exasperation. 

"Is no one aware you're still alive, Princess?" Rhys asked in a concerned tone.

"Aside from me? Not that we know of." Sonata took the indulgence of answering her classmate's questions, with a tinge of dishonesty.

"So what got into you?" Asch scoffed again, towards his older sibling. 

"Curiosity? The urge to be righteous? Or plain amusement?" Aschlynn spoke in a sing-song way as her back was turned from the people of the room, "Who knows?" She finished, gleaming an eerily dark smile that unnerved even Pierce and Leif.

"...No wonder she's much more feared than General Rhal." Noi whispered, the other men around him internally agreed with his sentence. 

"She wasn't given the title of 'Valkyrie' for show, Noi." Sonata deadpanned, as much as Rhys planned to retribute against Sonata's remarks; He deducted it would be illogical, as Sonata's comments seemed harmless enough...terrifyingly enough, they seem to be void of any intent or emotion altogether.

"Rhys." Polaria said, "Uh, yes, your ladyship?" He courteously asked in fear of both the woman and her daughter. 

"Do you know of the former royals of Daemos before the current royals took over?" She asked in a calm tone, Sonata quietly tilted her head in curiosity of the sudden topic. "Weren't they tortured to their deaths?" Leif interjected.

"There's a rumor that their Last Generation is the only one left alive, and whoever it is has the magical prowess of a Grand Sorceress." Polaria said as her gaze swiveled over to where Leif was.

"So?" Asch questioned, the simple word coming out more rudely than it was supposed to.

"The magic crisis in Daemos is linked directly to this last descendant." Aschlynn spoke up, Polaria only hummed in agreement, the mother-daughter not bothering to address curt way Asch spoke.

"How does that work?" Rhys was a bit skeptical from where this was going.

"The reason Lady Grandma allowed what remained of them live is because of their Divine Predecessors that kept magic alive in Daemos. If the magic in Daemos is faltering there is something going on with this said remaining descendant." Polaria explained.

"Do you want them to?" Asch said in a more solemn tone, "Want to what?" Polaria requested the younger man to reiterate his question, "Do you want them to rule again?" He asked in full, the Daemos men in the room looked down, expecting the answer as it was no secret as to why the Sorceress Queen of Daemos left their King.

"No." Polaria bluntly answered, "Magic speaking fine, fundamentally and world speaking they are the better choice as rulers but politically? and in the topic as rulers? No. As much as barbaric...and well, savage the current Daemos is; It's the utter opposite of what it was back then, it's actually a competently ruled kingdom compared to back then." Polaria shrugged her shoulders.

"You weren't kidding when you said you were twice Dad's age, huh?" Aschlynn chuckled, raising an eyebrow at her Mother.

Aschlynn brought a communicator out and started walking to a hall, "I have to make a call." She stated and left.

In the library, the call connected. 

"So how have things been?" Aschlynn greeted.

"Dark, gloomy, ominous, Daemos being Daemos." the person replied back.

"Shall I tell you a bit of something before you report to me?" The ravennette smiled.

The other person in the magically connected call was unnerved, it wasn't Aschlynn never smiled but this one seemed reminiscent of her old one, it was a smile craving blood.

 Silence engulfed the, as Aschlynn dropped her maniacal expression, 

"Before that, I guess you should start with anything urgent going on there in Daemos, huh, Lady Bish."
