‘Lucius?’ I called for him again and I was already beginning to panic.

‘Here.’ He appeared beside me as a body fell from the top and hit the ground with a loud thud Arturos’ body was totally deformed, and his head was missing. But his head came crashing down after a few seconds, smashing to the ground as his brain and blood splattered on the demons around that area.

My head snapped back to look at Lucius, who was now back in his regular demon form, probably so he wouldn’t tower over me. In his hands was Arturo’s heart.

The demons everywhere stopped fighting, and some of them just suddenly disappeared, their bodies crumbling to ashes as they just vanished in the air.

“What’s happening?” I asked Lucius.

“Those demons were revived by Arturos, on his death, they would come with him.”

“And those who are still alive?” “They will become our demons.”

“Does it mean you will rule Athwarth as well?”

“We will rule Athwart.” He said c*oc*kily.

“But his heir?”

“I have Arturos’ heart. The kingdom is mine. They have to take my heart to get it. Or if I submit Athwart to them. But it’s not going to happen.”

He flashed me a smug grin before he bit a portion of his heart, blood dripping, and it was still pulsating. I didn’t cringe. Instead, my mouth watered, making me lick my lips as I stared at it. “Not too fast, my queen. I want to share this heart with you, but I want my blood to be the first one you taste and drink.”

He threw the heart to Adan, which he caught without a problem. I heard Lucy telling him not to eat it as she didn’t want to rule Athwart. It made me smile because Lucy was still firm in her stand to never rule the underworld. “In front of our demons, mark me and drink my blood,” Lucius asked me.
