SATAN'S CHILD

CHAPTER 32

I should praise the devil king for choosing such a qualified she-devil to be his Queen. Eclipsa has everything he needed for this Kingdom to be better, not that it's not yet better at this point. I'm just saying that if they rule together, everything will change a lot. And that change is for the good. They will make a good husband and wife and King and Queen. I trust that this Kingdom will be successful since two great leaders are the one who are managing it.

Ever since we were kids, I've been with Eclipsa. Sure we separated for a long time but after we met again, I realize she didn't changed, she just grew up to be a fine woman who is prosperous in every way. She handles everything like a professional, just like how she handle being the next Devil of Wrath. She's not the one for the job yet she still accept it and now is working skillfully with that title. That just proves how she's more of a leader than me, the son of King Satan. I recall that in the past, I had always envied her for having such trait. And now, I'm so proud of her.

There are a lot of questions in my head since the moment V and Eclipsa step out of that door. I wanted these questions to have answers but I'm sure it will just hurt me more so I really should just shut my mouth. After all, everything that is happening now is much appropriate. V marrying Eclipsa is better that V getting together with me. I love that son of a devil but when it comes to ruling, I'm just going to be a burden. I'm just going to be a addition to the people he needs to take care. I will make his life hard and our marriage will be a chain tied around his neck. Exaggerated right?

But with Eclipsa, he's free since that girl is independent. She can run around freely without getting hurt because she knows how to fight back and defend herself. Plus, she can also protect V. Eclipsa can fight back to back with V unlike me who needs to be protected 24/7 because I'm weak and helpless. That hurts my pride but it's the truth. You know what they often say, truth really hurts.

The crowd continue to be loud, the announcement really shook them. Even me, I did not expect that Eclipsa is going to be that girl behind that door. I don't know wether to feel bitter, happy, proud, or grieving. Fortunately, Jaeshik distracted me. He might've notice that I'm uncomfortable so he stole my attention from the new couple. Jaeshik told me about his sword. I laughed because that's just adorable. Out of all the things he can do, he choose to introduce me to the weapon he's carrying around everytime. And I can say that he successfully diverted my attention.

For a moment I forgot about V, not until everything fall down like shit. I tensed up when I felt three powerful auras approaching our table. It suddenly became noisy. Jaeshik also stopped from narrating how he got his sword. Two pair of feet stopped in front of me but I refused to raise my head and meet the gazes of the new comers. All of a sudden, someone pounced to me. The Queen giggled as she squeezed me to death.

"Kookie! I miss you!" Said her Highness while faking sobs and tears. Sheesh! I already got a few weird stares from the folks earlier and now that the Queen has done this, the number went up.

I want to complain that I can't breathe but even before I could say anything, V already beat me up from saying a word.

"Mother, this is not how a Queen act in front  of her people.." V sternly said to his mother who had her lips pouted.

"This is how I act in front of a member of our family. Jeongguk is a member of the family, ain't he, son?" I feel like there's a hidden meaning behind the Queen's words but in order to not assume too much, I discarded it all.

V's mouth open and closed without any words escaping. His fist balled up and then he responded. "Yes. He is like a brother to me.." come a smile after his statement.

For the nth time ever since I've met him, my heart produced a shattering sound that only I can hear inside my mind. I was brother-zoned. So that's why he's been taking care of me all this time, because I look like a brother to him. Wow, at least I held a position in his life. A brother huh?
