The Dream Saga - Chapter 104

The king was happy now, all his worries and sorrow were gone. He had an heir now, who will claim his throne if he dies in the war, not some nephew of his. He was satisfied by what he did to bring his son back.

He was so glad that tear flooded his eyes, but when he saw his baby’s face something bugged him…

“Hey, I have a question about the baby. Last night you mentioned something, that it’s been so long since he died, so there’s no way you can resurrect him, right? So how cone he have the same face?” He asked a very relevant question. He was sharp, he noticed even small things.

“Hmm, well I knew it. That you will ask something like this! But don’t worry, I have an answer to your question?” The witch closed her eyes and replied him with a smirk on her face.

“Last night, I used the dead baby’s devil body to create a new body from its flesh and bone”

“Wait, didn’t you told me just now that he was born by a womb of a succubus?” He was tensed, now he was trying to retrieve every possible information related to his baby.

“Are you sure you’re a devil? Don’t you know a thing about succubus? Don’t you know why the devils hate them?” The witch was mocked him for his little knowledge.

“No, I know why we hate them! It’s because… it’s because! What the hell, I don’t know, no one ever taught me about this!” The king’s eyes enlarged out of shock. He was shocked about his own knowledge that how he hated a race just because people told him to hate them, while he did not even have a reason to.

“Ha-ha, don’t get stressed it’s not your fault maybe even your teacher didn’t know about the reason.” She laughed and swung her head with a sigh.

“Well, you know if a devil lies with a succubus, it sucks up their life source up to thirty percent, so they tend to hate them.”

“You haven’t answered my question. How does he have the same face and body, more demonic power? And can a child be born in just one night?” He had many unanswered questions that were needed to be answered. His facial expressions were changing frequently with every new question that popped into his mind.

“You speak too much, don’t you? Anyway, I’ll answer each of your question don’t worry. So, your child died months ago so he can’t be resurrected, that’s right. He was born by a womb of a succubus , I guess you don’t know inside the body of a succubus they develop a child just in one night instead of nine months.”

“Now, your another question if the mother was a succubus, then how does the baby look exactly the same as the dead one. But there’s one thing that I didn’t tell you: why does a succubus never bear a child, have you ever seen a baby succubus? No. let me tell you.”

“A succubus child comes out of her body, tearing her body apart, but if it’s a normal baby, she’ll recover in no time. But if it’s of some high being such as a devil, the baby tears his way out of the womb, ripping the succubus in two parts. But the question still stands that how does he look the same”

“I guess I explained too much of anatomy of a succubus, here the last thing when a baby is born it’s alive, but it does not have anything on itself except a heart and brain.”

“I used the flesh and bone of your dead boy to give a new shape to your newborn.”

The witch told him every minute detail he was craving for, and now he stood there with his eyes enlarged, blown mind because of the bizarre information ,speechlessly.

“So, the succubus who gave birth to him is dead right, wait ! He’ll not have any succubus traits.Right ?!”

“Hmm, I don’t know. I did it for the first time. But I know most traits come out when the child crosses the age of eighteen, and if there’s a big moment in their life, then I guess it’ll be clear.”

“Hmm, I hope he turns out to be a true Beelzebub. I should head back to the palace, everyone might be waiting. Alright, what’s the price I need to pay to you ?”

“Don’t worry about it Daniel, the price had already been paid” the witch smirked at him and in the next moment, he was outside the building, on the exit. He looked around himself it was still raining and the horse he brought with him was not there, only his blood on the ground was there.

“Ah, seems like I have to walk all the way to the palace”

He walked his way to the palace with his child in his arms. After walking for a while, he arrived at a town where a few of his guards were patrolling. He asked them to get him to the palace. And after traveling for a while, he was in the palace.

As he entered the palace first thing he did was calling the queen out loud with a joyful smile on his face. He ran around in the palace, calling her name out loud, but no one made a fuss. The whole place was silent, like some abandoned building.

While searching for the queen, he arrived on a balcony. From there, he saw a crowd of people being gathered for some reason. He narrowed his sight to get a look at the situation, he noticed something odd about the gathering and that made him descend to the place.

As he arrived at the place, the people there bowed to him and looked at him with an odd look. He didn’t understand what was happening there, he tried to ask what was wrong but nobody said a word. Instead, they shifted and made a way to the center of the crowd so he can walk and see it himself. He looked at them with a nervous look on his face and when he arrived at the center, what he saw was heartbreaking for him.

The witch said something which was unexpected. Her words were enough to bring Daniel’s hope back. As he heard her saying that “There’s another way.” His eyes, which were full of tears, got enlarged. He looked up into her eyes and asked…

“What’s another way?” He stood up and wiped his tears with his sleeves. He was desperate enough to save to his son at any cost.

“But it’s not how you’re thinking it’ll be.” The witch replied to him while touching the baby’s dead face.

“Tell me ! What it is, what is the not going to be like as I have imagined ! Tell me, I’m sick of listening to all this crap. Tell me everything I’m ready to accept my reality doesn’t matter what it is, just tell me.” He was breaking inside, his knots of patience were losing up; he was facing it all alone from the start, but now he was becoming weak.

If it was something physical, he could’ve endured it easily, but he was faced with things that were affecting him mentally.

“You have to stay strong. What I am going to tell you is the only way.” The witch, who was in a mood to have fun, was serious now. The room was full of tension now.

“Firstly, I want to clarify, I can’t bring him back to life, but just as I mentioned, there’s another way.”

“So, the other way is something a man of principle might not like. You need to conceive a baby here with one of my succubus!”

The other way was wicked enough to shock him. He stood there as a statue, not a single word came out of his mouth.

“W-what are you talking about? Have a baby with a succubus? Are you insane?”

He was indeed a man of principle ,he declined to conceive a baby with a low-life succubus.

“I knew you’d say something like this, but you did not get it correctly”

“What did I get wrong, huh! If I had to conceive a baby, I would have done it already with my other queens! And why do you think I want to bring this baby back to life? It’s not because I loved this baby.”

“The holy trident war is coming, and I don’t have an heir. I never had a child with other queens because I loved only one and the other queens can’t give me a powerful heir. If an heir is not powerful enough, he’d eventually get killed by his enemies for the throne when the king will be away for war.”

“I understand Daniel, but take a look at your situation. You’ll be away on war in the next few months, your queen is not in a condition to give birth to another child and no one knows if he can survive or not! Put your principles aside and think as Beelzebub, not Daniel.”

Whatever the witch told him was so impactful that it forced him to think twice.

“It’s truth that I don’t have any other choices, but if I’ll have a child with a low being such as a succubus, the baby will be weak as ever.”

The witch looked at him and smirked. “Love, leave it to me. I will take care of it. Let’s get on work, follow me.”

The witch tightened her dress and scattered her long hair in the air, flicked some back and moved out of the room, with the king following her outside. They were now in the lobby where all the succubus was supposed to be.

The witch stepped forward and raised both of her hands in the air. Her light gray eyes turned completely white and a scary smile covered her face.

Beelzebub’s POV

In the next moment when I opened my lazy eyes, I found myself in a room. It was one of the rooms I saw when I was walking through the lobby, inside of the room it was warm and comfy, my body was melting as chocolate, I felt as I was high on opium. The succubus was in front of me , I was losing consciousness.

I did not know what was happening around me I felt as I was in a dream, and the next thing I saw was the ceiling of the room I was in. My head was ringing pretty bad, I was having fussy flashes of last night, it was full of screams and blood.

I sat on my bed to get hold of my mind , my eyes still were still half closed. I rubbed them and after opening them, whatever I saw was horrible. The bed I was in ,was drenched in blood and the blood was not just on the bed, it was everywhere.

I stood up from my bed to see what actually happened and as I moved out of the room, the ‘Witch of Endor’ stood there. Her mouth was filled with blood. She was happy and was giving off a creepy vibe.

I asked her what happened last night here in a serious tone. Her reply was pleasing, yet disturbing.

“Daniel, you did not notice I have something in my arms. Do you want a surprise? You’ve become a father. Ha-ha, but this time of an alive boy,”

The news was so heart-warming that I broke out in tears, finally I had a heir , a son who’d call me father. All my efforts did not go in vain”

“Give me the boy, I want to see his face !” I was happy. I took the baby in my arms to see if he was okay. This time I was not disappointed; he was alive and lively.

“Hey, is he strong enough to survive?”

“Haha, he’s even more powerful than you, but he’s a half-devil.”

“W-What do you mean half-devil?”

“He’s not a naturally born baby, he’s a creation of witch’s dark magic and devil’s sacrifice. And that makes him so strong. But I’m worried he’s born of a succubus, so he can show it’s trait too, but it depends on him!”

“W-what do you mean by that?”

“After 19 years, it’ll be cleared if he’s a devil or a succubus dominated child.”

“Where’s that succubus that gave him birth?”

“I’m not sure if you’d like her now,”

“Why?”

“Check it out yourself !”
