47 Chapter 40 - Malignan

"The boy didn't show any sign of fear or panics; he stands there and watches the family that he once values and can find comforts get wipes out in front of his eyes. Keep in mind, there no abnormal activity going on with this little boy. He is an entirely reasonable person; he is a young boy brought to the town by his parent from a very far country. The country he once lives in is a lovely place; some forests have no dangerous beast, there are unlimited food supplies, the people in there is kind and passionate about life and to the people around them. Due to some reason, the kid was forced to leave the country he once grew root to and step on the journey of escaping from evil outside force. As the trip goes on the parent that was once polite and respectful slowly changing to a self-fish and short temper. That is maybe the running and distrust from the outside world are affecting the two adults. Finally, they can take a rest in this little town that has lost connection from the outside world. That means if they stay in the town the evil force will not be able to locate where they are, and so this family did, the family decided to settle in the town thinking it's the best decision they made in their life. However, that is the beginning of their doom because this town can destroy the manners, the selfless characteristics of a person. At first, it is beautiful because they can get in touch with the nature that they never were able to do so when they back in there own country. The change in the family slowly happens among them without anyone notice a single thing. Even though the lousy change slowly raises onto the parent, the essential kind-hearted characteristic remains the same like before. That is why when the creatures make their first offer this family did not accept. However, as we all know, humans are always fickle, and hard to understand. When the second family tells the first family how easy they come to compromise with the offer, that plants a seed inside of them. That will change their lives and cause them to lose it too..." Medusa then cuts the boy off and said,

"The story sounds a little familiar with a thing I once hear..."

"What is it, Medusa?" The boy smiles.

"I think you told me about a place that is beautiful and has a lot of food, and the people are kind to the people around them...Is it you?" Medusa haltingly asks.

"Oh! Medusa I can't tell you that right now...I think you can figure out by your self when I'm done with the story,

"Remember what I told you before? Things will be more interesting when you do it your self!"

"Okay..." Even though Medusa wants to know the answer right away.

"Back to the story, after the boy demands the monster to kill the second and first family. The boy walks in front of the two families and puts up an uncomfortable smile. Then the monster comes back to the boy on their knees and said,

'King...Your command is granted."

The fear inside the monsters is doing its job keeping the monster loyal to the boy.

After the monster's words, the boy didn't look at the monster and turned around and went straight into one of the rooms. However, the short temper monster didn't pay any attention to the boy's attitude because of the fear, and maybe there is something is up with the boy they vowed upon." The boy stops here and looks at Medusa.

"That's it?" Medusa is not enough with the storytelling.

"Yes...Now tell me your thought about the story." The boy smiles

"Uhm...I think the story is about you right?" Medusa asks.

"What do you think?" The boy still has the smile on his face like it never will change.

"I think...I think...I think you are the little boy in your story." Medusa said.

The boy didn't give an apparent response to Medusa and then continue,

"Do you want to know what those monster in my story is?"

"Yes." Even though the boy did not clarify her question, but she knows now what is the answer to her question.

"As I told you before that the creatures are the God's abandonment, they live on this universe is because they have no choice; when the God created them, it gives these creatures the ability to live forever, like the immortals until somebody comes and kills them. They are obedience towards the beings that have a stronger and better bloodline than them. In the story even though the boy could not fight any of the monsters, but the boy is also the creation of the God, and he has the bloodline that dominates the creatures. That is why when the boy steps out and demands the royalties from the creatures they gave in. These monsters have a terrifying, soul hunting name; they call the Demond. The use to be the God's pet." The boy said.

"Pets? There are no pets that look like that and fierce like that!" Medusa exclaims.

"Hahaha! Oh, Medusa! There are lots of things you don't know yet. The world out there is strange but magnificent!" The boy said.

"The outside world?" Medusa shows sign of obsession toward the world outside of [Geld].

"Yes! The outside world! There are many things I sure you will fall in love with! A woman like you deserves to be on the outside! Not in this small town! You should be living your best life!" The boy continues to seduce Medusa with all the beautiful and wonderful thing the outside world has.

"I deserve all the beautiful things?" Medusa is hooked onto the thought of living luxuriously in the outside world.

"Yes...You deserve all of them!" The boy softly whispers by Medusa's ears.

"Yes...I deserve all of them!" Medusa repeats after the boy.

"You will not have to worry about the dangers, the threats that you have worry about in here! I will be your strongest shield! Your knight that will destroy all your enemy!" The boy promises to make Medusa clear all her uncertainty in her mind. The reason for it is that Medusa lived in this town for too long, and the people around her just continually hurting her, her vulnerable soul is too weak to take risks; if she carries these doubts and uncertainties to the outside world will ruines the fun of the boy's game.
