There was a babbling sound in my ears, and I slowly opened my dry eyes. The pale light shone on the blue-grey floor tiles. The ground was as cold as ice. I raised my head and saw a few rusty lines on the high windows.
The iron bars and shaky wooden windows were blown by the wind.
I stood up with difficulty, resisted my sleepiness with difficulty, and walked towards the window. Every step I took was like being stuck in a quagmire, and I felt like I was not exerting my strength.
The window was too high. I stretched out my hand, but it was far out of reach. There was also a stone stool connected to the wall. It was the only furniture in the room, but the stool was too small and very uncomfortable to sit on.
, might as well just sit on the ground.
I wanted to walk over and step on it, but I couldn't lift my legs.
At this moment, a figure appeared behind me. A servant girl wearing gray linen clothes, with messy hair, and holding a basin in her hand appeared behind the railing door with her head lowered.
I turned around, slowly walked towards her, and stretched out my hand to her.
Suddenly, she raised her head. Her face was covered with blood and rotten flesh. No skin could be seen. Her eyes hung on her cheeks and she kept looking at me. Her white teeth suddenly opened.
"Master? Master?"
This voice is somewhat familiar...
Demon King Richard gasped and suddenly opened his eyes, seeing the face of a blond human girl, Reina was looking at him worriedly.
"Master, I think you seem to be having a nightmare, are you okay?"
She frowned and said a little uneasily.
Only then did Demon King Richard realize that his forehead was covered with sweat. After taking a deep breath, he quickly calmed down.
Nightmare?
I didn't expect that he, the devil, would wake up from nightmares. Hehe, if people knew about it, they would laugh out loud.
"I'm fine."
The Demon King covered his forehead, and suddenly he remembered something.
"Nothing strange happened while I was sleeping, right?"
"No, Master."
Reina shook her head, and the Demon King breathed a sigh of relief, immersed in his dream. He might show his true appearance, but it seemed that he was worrying too much.
He turned to look at the entrance of the cave, but it was still dark outside.
"It's still dark. You go to bed first. I'll keep watch before going to bed."
The Demon King said calmly.
"okay."
Reina was very obedient, but she dragged her quilt and came to the Demon King's side.
"Master, my mother once said that when you have a nightmare, if someone is around, the nightmare will not come, so if I sleep next to you, you will not have nightmares." The girl said some childish words.
, the cold-faced Demon King smiled slightly.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
Hearing this, Linnai smiled sweetly and closed her eyes.
In less than a minute, she began to purr.
The Demon King let out a long sigh and leaned the quilt against the wall.
He still couldn't forget what happened when he was a child. Hundreds of years have passed and he has experienced so much, but he still clearly remembers what happened at that time. Even if he deliberately doesn't think about it, it will still fade away.
After a while, it came back to torture myself.
The devil's fingers turned into claws and placed them on his head. Whenever he thought of these things, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
The Dark Moon Tribe, an ancient race, looks similar to humans, except that they are very beautiful and have extremely long lifespans. They have extremely high magical talents and are good at using dark magic and spells.
One day, Princess Darkmoon, who was pregnant with the Demon King, gave birth to twins, which shocked the elders of the Darkmoon clan.
Twins may be common among humans, but it is unheard of among demons like the Dark Moon Clan. The struggle among the demons is very fierce, and so is the competition within the clan. This kind of competition is already in the womb of the mother.
Initially, multiple fetuses compete with each other for more nutrients, and eventually the strongest one will absorb the other fetuses.
Therefore, the demon clan does not have the phenomenon of having multiple children, but this kind of thing happens.
These twins are also very strange. One is covered with black scales and has a strong physique, while the other is fair-skinned. They are no different from the Dark Moon tribe, except that they have two soft little horns like little fingers and a small tail.
The strangest thing is that the fair-skinned baby is only one-third the size of the black-skinned baby.
Many elders felt that the white baby could not be kept and should be killed. Perhaps because of maternal love, Richard miraculously survived.
But he later learned from an elder that she thought that since the little baby had the ability to survive, it might have some power to fight against its powerful brother, and it might become a powerful demon in the future.
However, when they were three years old, they discovered that there was a huge gap between the two brothers. The older brother was extremely talented and could master new magic in no time, while the younger brother was not only physically weak, but also relatively stupid, and the power of the magic he used was far less than that of the older brother.
When he was six years old, everyone discovered that Richard was not as good as even the lowest members of the tribe, and his mother abandoned him and locked him in a cage called a room.
Gradually, the tribe forgot about it, and later many people did not know that there were two princes of the Dark Moon tribe.
He almost died many times, mostly when he was practicing magic with his brother. Or in the cage, the servants forgot to feed him for several days, and he almost starved to death.
Rats, cockroaches, ants, and bugs were all the food he had eaten. When there was no water, he survived by licking the dew that condensed on the sky railing in the morning.
He didn't know why his life was so tough. Maybe the elders also had this doubt.
At that time, he still felt that his mother loved him. When he was almost beaten to death by his brother, she stopped him. When he was about to starve to death, she secretly sent a servant to deliver food, even if it was dry and cold meat.
However, when he was thirteen, his world collapsed.
The elders finally couldn't bear the fact that he was still alive and sent people to investigate. At this time, they happened to meet the servant who secretly brought food to Richard.
ah!!!
The servant was tortured in front of Richard, his face was corroded by magic, and he died in front of him. The emaciated Richard stared, he didn't even have the strength to break out of the door.
However, something more desperate happened.
Your mother was afraid that your brother would kill her in the future, so she stopped him from killing you.
An old elder jokingly said this sentence in front of Richard. It was this sentence that made him feel that the world was gray.
He was still not dead. The Dark Moon clan could not kill people of their own clan, but they wrapped Richard in a bag, treated him like garbage, and threw him into a forest full of beasts and monsters, so that he could become food for those monsters.
Demon King Richard put down his hand, and the pitch-black claws slowly turned back into fingers. Suddenly, he shook his hand violently, recalling the scene where his brother's head was crushed by him.
At the end of the War of Ten Thousand Demons, he killed all his own people. From then on, there was no Dark Moon clan in the world.
