Chapter 214- Prophecy (Part 1)

Rin's eyebrows furrowed the more he read. The fact that Godfrey mentioned such detail wasn't without a reason. However, even with the hunch Rin had, he didn't really understand how that could be possible.

'Someone who would lead demons to victory? How would she even know that? Or maybe it's just a way for her to rile up her people as a form of motivation to win the war.'

As he thought of that, the next words completely turned everything upside down and submerged Rin in complete confusion again.

'She then said that this certain someone will ironically be someone who lived with humans, liked humans, and even considered themselves as a human. However, they are not and will never be a part of that lowly race. Soon, they will arrive at their rightful world and become what they were meant to be.' Rin's hands instinctively squeezed the piece of paper harder than necessary.

All of his assumptions were completely crushed as if they were some kind of joke. He was certain that the queen was talking about him.

'But, how? How did she know? Is it some kind of ability that allows her to see the future? Is that even possible in this world?'

"R-Rin..." As the black-haired young man was having the dilemma of a lifetime, Lala approached him and whispered his name gently with a worried expression.

"Uh, sorry. Ehem, I'm fine."

"... I don't want to assume the worst, kid. But, everything points at you." Godfrey interjected with a serious expression. "I don't think we can ignore this."

"I know... Give me a moment to collect my thoughts." After saying that, Rin stood up and walked outside.

"Grandpa..." Lala looked at Rin's silhouette with a sad expression.

"He's going to be fine, Lala. I'm sure he understands what he should do."

The outside world was dark, lit by the moon and the countless stars that filled the sky. Rin went slightly far away from the house and sat down near a tree, admiring the beautiful nocturnal world.

"It's really beautiful. I'm sure Elise would've liked this. She was always a fan of the night rather than day." He murmured with a sad expression.

It has been barely that much time since his separation with his lover and yet he missed her so much that he could barely keep himself composed. This was the first time since their meeting that Rin and Elise were separated completely without knowing what the other was doing or whether they are alive or not.

'No, I'm sure she's fine. Master is capable enough to find a good place for Elise to hide. All I have to do is come back to her.'

The goal was fairly simple. But the execution was the tricky part. First of all, Rin had not even a single idea of how he was going to be able to return to the human world and so he needs to do some research about that. Second of all, there was the matter with the queen.

From what he heard till now, she seemed like an omnipotent being that is akin to a god. Even the mere uttering of her name was dangerous and there is even the potential fact that she could see the future.

How can he even deal with such an existence? Should he try to befriend her? Or turn her into an enemy simply because she wanted to eradicate all humans and that could include his loved ones.

'Should I even try to meet her in the first place?'

Third of all, Rin also needed to gain strength in order to be able to keep up with what will happen in the war.

To top everything off, he had merely 6 weeks to do all of this and return.

"You gotta be kidding me. I guess I need to pull off another miracle to do this. A miracle more absurd than anything else I have ever done. Pfft! What a bad joke."

Rin then tilted his head up and dazedly stared at the sky again. He knew that these few moments of peace were the last he will experience in a very long while and so he wanted to make use of them as much as possible.

"I have to make it work."

"Make what work?~" At that moment, a voice answered Rin's words.

"...!!" The latter immediately jumped up and pulled his daggers, ready to fight. But, the next second, his face paled completely and his breathing halted.

An impossibly strong aura assaulted his body like a train. It was by far the strongest aura he ever felt. To a point where it is impossible for him to comprehend how it a creature with such a presence existed.

Rin's legs lost their strength as he fell down to the ground with his hands as another support for his ever-increasing weight.

'I can't... breathe... Ugh, my throat!!' He held his neck.

"Oh my~ My apologies. I didn't mean to use my powers." After saying those words, the crushing aura suddenly vanished as if it was never there which allowed Rin to slump down, breathing heavily.

He was extremely confused as to who did this at first. But, when he thought about it for a second. An extremely beautiful feminine voice and an unbelievably strong aura. Who could that be other than the person he dreaded the most at the moment? n-(O-)v-/E/(l-(b/)1))n

"T-The queen! Show yourself!!" He said as he tried to stand up with difficulty.

"I'm behind you~" She said which made Rin quickly turn around.

There, a breathtakingly beautiful woman floated in the air with a small smile on her face. Her face and figure were so perfect it took Rin a second to register who it was. Her beautiful black hair and her mesmerizing golden eyes were the most eye-catching thing about her other than her elegant and beautiful robe..

"Oh, you're quite the dashing young man~ Very handsome~" The woman said as she took a small look at Rin.

"How did-"

"How did I find you? Hmm, didn't you call for me a moment ago?" She asked as she touched her chin thoughtfully for a second. "I have been waiting for you, Rin."
