The Dream Saga - Chapter 57

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.
