Chapter XI

Cas (POV)

It took us three sunrises to get back to the angel city, as fast as our wings could carry us. We flew over the bright and beautiful city before landing directly in front of my castle, my home. I sighed contently and looked at Gabriel who had a mixture of feelings in his eyes; happiness, smugness but also sadness. I decided to shrug it off for now and speak to him later, but for now I had to see someone, someone who I had missed so dearly and loved with all my heart. I burst through the double doors of the castle and into my own Great Hall where hundreds of angels were kneeling and praying to God. They all looked around and gasped in shock at the sight of me, some stood up and some just stayed sat down, rooted to the spot.

"Your Majesty." Gasped a voice from the front of the hall and I looked up to see my right hand man, Michael walking carefully towards me and bowing.

"Hello Michael, did you miss me?" I say, smiling slightly and he nods.

"More than anything." He says seriously and I walk over to him and give him a brotherly hug, patting him on the back as I did so. Most of the angels were standing up now and bowing low towards me but I just waved them off and beckoned Michael and Gabriel to follow me.

"I'm sorry for disturbing your morning prayers, please carry on." I say to the angels who are all muttering in awe at the sight of their missing King. Me, Gabriel and Michael walk towards my study that is placed in the centre of the highest tower. I wanted it to be up there because the view was so spectacular and if I felt like stretching my wings after working hard in my study, I could just jump from the balcony that was attached to the tower and fly.

"Leliel has been lost with you, sire. " Michael says and I nod sadly.

"How has she been?"

"Not good, she's been trying her hardest to get the warriors motivated enough to fight but without you here, everyone hasn't known if they're coming or going. No one knew what to do." He says as we enter my study and I walk over to the balcony and open up the glass doors to step out onto it.

"Where is she now?" I turn to Michael.

"Around the castle somewhere your majesty, but where I have no clue. I will get one of the guards to go and fetch her." I nod absentmindedly at his decision and turn to face the view once again. "I knew where you were."

"Did you? How is that then?" I ask him and he comes to stand beside me.

"Anael came for a visit to the hideout near Turpixy." He said mildly and I look at him with my eyebrows raised.

"Anael? I thought she had turned to the dark side." I chuckled but he shook his head.

"It seems that she was only just faking it too try and get information for us." Michael explains and I hum in appreciation.

"Well, I'd watch her carefully. I still don't trust her all that much." I tell him and he nods in understanding before patting me on the back.

"It's good to have you back sire, anything new from the demons?"

"Oh yes, King John will be moving up from being King to becoming one of Crowley's personal men and his son, Dean, will take his place." My heart panged at the name but I kept it together.

"Is that a good thing?" Michael looks confused at my smirking face.

"Oh indeed it is. You see, Dean Winchester has a soft spot for angels. Both him and his brother treat them in a strange manner that contrasts with how other demons treat us. I think that when he becomes king, there could be a catalyst event in this war." I look out onto the view and think about the demon that had said he loved me. I had said it back and I had meant every word of it when I said it but I didn't know whether I said that because I hoped that he would let me out or because I didn't want him to hate me for what I was about to tell him; that I was king of the angels.
