57 Chapter 55 - Before the Tragedy

Sal who had just successfully cleansed the Yggdrasil is overwhelmed by happiness, before he heard some words from Number 4. "Ah... This is boring, I thought I'm going to witness this demon boy go insane." "Eh?" Then Number 4 looks at Sal and smirks. "Are you really oblivious or just being stupid? Seriously, why would His Majesty even try to give such a high rank to a trash like you? You are too dirty for that position." said Number 4 with a sarcastic but gentle tone. Sal is slightly irritated by his words but not saying anything to prevent any unnecessary troubles, however, he didn't realize that Number 4 is secretly examining his magic seal which is weakened by the injury on his hand.

"Oh! I almost forgot, His Majesty even accepts that fake goddess. If compare to her, you are actually not a big deal." The moment Sal heard the word 'fake goddess' he became slightly enraged and stare at Number 4 fiercely and Number 4 realize that emotional change of him. "Hmm... It seems like His Majesty is not the only one that gets tricked by her cuteness and innocent look. She is good at tricking people especially men to believe that she is innocent and cute." said Number 4. "Stop it. You know nothing about her." Sal finally spoke after silently accept the insult from Number 4. "Nope, it's you the one that knows nothing about her. Do you know why is she even in The Kingdom despite of being a Greek Goddess? ... Oops! I mean ex Greek Goddess." In fact, Sal knows nothing about Athena's past.

"That girl was a criminal in the prison of Alliance, she killed her own aunt and framed her twin sister for it, her sister was given a death sentence and she was in prison for a year before she been taken in by Zeus as an adopted daughter. Everyone knows that Zeus doesn't take her out of prison just to make her his daughter, they said she seduced him with her look and lured him to get her out of prison, and you know, when a really honorable man took a filthy criminal girl out of prison, it can't be something as simple as 'adopting' her right? Daughter of Zeus, the leader of Greek God always sounds better than sex slav...." "Stop it! I'm not interested to know more about that!" Sal who can't accept the 'fact' told by Number 4 is starting to lose control of his emotions, that magic seal on his hand starts flickering as if it's going to break any moment. Seeing Sal's reaction, Number 4 smiled.

"Well, that was before she met His Majesty on a rare occasion, giving him a nice reason to conquer the Greek God territory and beheaded Zeus in front of her. And then she is taken in by His Majesty, and given the title of 'Lady'. Hahaha, our King is surely kind enough to give such a title to a prosti..." "I said stop it!" Sal yelled at Number 4 in a semi hysterical state, the seal on his hand starts to break apart. "Oh? Why are you so angry? Oh! I know, you want to have a taste on her too right?" "Stop... Please stop..." instead of shouting, Sal starts whispering, his body is trembling...

"Don't worry, you will have a chance, she's mean to be shared by everyone." These words had broken the final rationality of Sal. His body starts floating in the air and cover by a heavy and scary dark aura, his arms turned into gigantic demon claws, without a second thought, he swings his claws towards Number 4. Number 4 gives Sal an evil grim before switching himself with an unconscious Athena. Just when that dead claw about to get Athena, a purple shadow appear and guarded her...

That last thing Sal saw before totally losing his sanity, is an unconscious Athena with a small cut on her shoulder held tightly by Dark Prince, whose right eye is covered with blood ...
