I BECAME THE NEXT DEMON LORD CANDIDATE AFTER BEING KILLED BY A LEVEL 1 PLANT

ANOTHER ONE

Recently it was discovered that Lia was good at cooking as well as sewing, immediately she moved to kitchen duties and as a hobby, she made clothes, she finally allowed a seat at the table, before she'd stand next to Sargon or behind Diya. The rearing and farming were all coming along well, occasionally Diya would treat the demons to a human or two who were held in the dungeon below as a reward for good work. The shadow that attacked didn't come back. All in all, it was safe to assume it was a peaceful day or so Diya thought. Now that a wall was built surrounding the town and another surrounding the castle Sargon instructed Lia to make three barriers. The first one was the biggest, it covered the perimeter of the city. The second from the outer wall, covering the demons' resident and third; fortified with a hardening spell, covered only the castle where very few demons stayed. The barriers were made that only demons under Sargon's command would be able to enter, anything not relating to him would be electrocuted by the lightening wave spell he himself had placed on it. One night Lia saw Diya and Sargon entering his bedroom, Diya didn't come out until half hour later, they did the same the next night, and the next. She didn't want to pry, but she was intrigue and since her relationship with Diya got closer, she waited for her to come out. "What's wrong should you be sleeping already?" Diya said as she closed the door behind her. "Um, I want to talk to you, can we go to the window?" "The night breeze is the best." Diya commented. "So, what's wrong?" "I'm sorry if I over step my boundary, but what is your relationship with master Sargon? Ahh I mean I've been seeing you going into his room with him and then coming back out, are you two, you know?" "We're not, at least I don't think so." Lia was surprised. "To tell you the truth, when Sargon first woke up as the demon lord candidate he was plagued with nightmares and would occasionally lose control of his power and cause destruction, he was afraid to sleep because of that, so I would hold his hand until he fell asleep, even now it's been months and he still can't fall asleep without holding my hand or my presence. Cute isn't it?" she smiled gently. "You're really the woman of this castle." Lia muttered "Did you say something?" "No, it's just you're soo mature and cool. I don't mind serving either of you. Well then good night." She was neither sad or happy, she just accepted it as it is. A few days later Diya and Sargon were gifted with new clothing. Sargon was given an all-black outfit with the exception to this shirt, which was embroidered with a bright red thread to compliment his hair which was white. He also got a coat which covered to his knees. "How cool" where the girl's thoughts. Diya was given black knee high stockings with a pleated red and black skirt that reaches just above the stockings. Followed by a white long sleeved shirt that was frilled at the end which tucks into her skirt. This complimented her long black hair and ruby eyes and made her mature personality appear bigger. She loved it so much so she hugged Lia for the first time. As for herself, Lia stuck to something she was most comfortable wearing. A habit, but it was made shorter above her knees as the back covered behind her knees, with open shoulder and gloves extending to her forearm. It was black with an upside down golden embroidered cross covering the middle of the habit. The gold complimented her sun colored eyes and as per Sargon's request to be herself. She didn't wear a veil. "You look extremely cute." Sargon remarked following approval from Diya. Suddenly there was an explosion in the castle. "That better not be my front door." Sargon said as he got up. Another explosion went off. Smiling he commented, "That totally wasn't the west wing." Shouting from the outside "My name is Wendell, a super high class devil, bow down to me, worthless excuse for demons." He laughed loudly as he could whilst standing on top of the lookout. He got pelted by rubble. "What's with this disgrace, I am your new master." He proclaimed. "Get lost you wannabe before you die." Shouted the demons from the below, they began to boo him, which began to make him feel happy. "S-stop it, I Wendell am your master." He screamed. "hmm a pervert." With a dead eye look, both the girls looked down on him. "Now, now calm down you two." Sargon said as he placed his hands on their shoulder, "We don't know that for sure." He's trying to stay positive as he could. After the pervert caught his breathe he began again. "Where's your lowly master?" "ah that would be me." Sargon waved from the main balcony. "Oh? Get over here and lick my boot, filthy peasant." Oh he's going to die Sargon thought to himself. The last thing Wendell saw was a staff into his face and the last thing he felt was the brute force of a kick to his head, bashing it to pieces. His body fell to the ground and was torn apart by the demons; it wasn't even eaten it was burnt. 'I didn't even get to question him, well it's fine.' Sargon thought to himself. "Let's go inside you two." "Wait, hey wait a minute." A small high pitched squeaky voice called from the court yard. Turning around they discovered a naked baby calling to them. It began to grow, rapidly at that, into a fully developed adult. "Gross, really gross." Were all their thoughts. "We got off on the wrong foot, I bring a message from a demon lord, may I come in?" "No, kneel on the ground right there." Sargon replied. Excited as he already was naked, he did just that. After a minute of absorbing the feeling of everyone looking at his bare skin, he began. "The demon lord Vanir of the north sent me." He remembered the thing that attacked Diya. "He sent me to tell you to surrender over to him so if you don't come back I'll die." "I don't care; you guys can have him." He ordered as the demons moved in on Wendell. "Wait! Lord Vanir is a ruthless monster, devours all and leaves nothing behind." "It's not my problem, but I'm listening." "Ever since the King himself disappeared demon lords from all of the continent began fighting to become the next king. Right now lord Vanir is a top contender, he is very ruthless and now he's set his sights on you. A nameless lord candidate who suddenly appeared out from nowhere. Tell me, you have two very pretty women besides you, do you want them become his plaything?" he got a point Sargon thought but "Those two pretty women were responsible for your state a few minutes ago, however if this Vanir wants to come here by all means let him. In return we'll eat him and his forces, everything." "Are you mad? His current force is ten times your army, just surrender you're weaker than him." "Surrender? Don't make laugh. Weak? Whatever gave you that idea?" he looked over to Diya, after making eye contact, he gently held her hand and rested his other hand on Lia's head "I vowed I wouldn't let anyone identify me as such. Try looking around you, do they look like they are ready to give in and surrender? We are hungry, always hungry to fill our bellies. Our never ending hunger quells us. You say he's ten times the power of us? Ha! So let him come he'll be our main course." His eyes glowed, all the demons in the court yard began screaming and howling. Wendell felt something struck his dark soul at that second, he didn't know if he was turned on or was moved by Sargon's overwhelming patriotism; but one thing for sure, he decided if he stayed with Sargon he may have a fighting chance; but that night he experienced nirvana as each of the demons had their way with him. The next day came. "Why are you still here, also how did you get into the barrier?" Sargon asked him. "It's simple, I can travel through the shadows, so I waited until one of your minions went out of the barrier and attached myself to him." He said as he polished Sargon's boots. "hmm that's useful, so why are you here?" "I can't do back empty handed I don't want to die." "If I remember correctly my girls did finish you yesterday." "That's because I didn't have my heart, currently Lord Vanir has it, that's how I'm just a disposable pawn; but I've decided to follow you." "But demon pledge to another demon cannot follow another one." Sargon said as he looked at him. "Huh? That's not true." Perplexed Sargon looked at Diya who looked at Lia who looked at Sargon. "Wait, just what do you know about demons?" Wendell said as he got up and took some steps back. The answer was the same. They knew nothing. Meanwhile in the White City, all the gods and goddesses were in chaos over information they had received. "There's no denying it, this demon is none other than her." "Keep your voice down Ares." "Look at the picture Apollo!" he growled. "I've known her since the beginning and fought alongside her, she's one of the strongest; that's why we all look up to her." He said sadly, "but there's no denying this evidence. Athena your order." "I say this with heavy heart." Unaware of two listening ears, "as of this moment Goddess Enyo is a traitor, but I want more information before I sentence her to death for treason, I want to investigate this matter both of you, find out what you can, if she resists, then kill her. can you do it?" "I understood Athena I'll leave at once." Ares said as he left the meeting by himself, he clenched his fists. "I don't believe for a second that you'd turn traitor, I'll get to the bottom of this, I swear." he slammed his fists into the wall shattering it as the two eavesdroppers followed behind him. "Athena, I want you to remove Ares from this." "Why's that Apollo?" "You know their history, one of them is bound to be hurt." "Oh dear brother, they both already are, we all are, now go but observe her well ... him too."
