Welcome Guest

While Xenos and Hanaka were getting towards Rygen’s room, he just talking with some town elders about the festival and people’s condition. While overhearing their conversation, Hanaka tells Xenos, “My father looks like has some important work. I think it would be nice that we won't disturb him right now”. Even Though she said it, Hanaka really feels so sad about it and looks sad. After seeing it, Xenos tells her, “Don't worry, I think he would not say anything to you even though interrupting his meeting. It’s a gift right, so there is nothing to worry let’s just get inside and give it to him”.

   And then Xenos knocked on the door once and Rygen replied, “Yes come in…” And he steps inside with Hanaka, while they both get inside the room, the people being inside were just feeling some uneasy feeling from Xenos and also Rygen got a bad feeling just by looking at him. ‘I feel fear just by looking at his cold eyes. I really have to be careful right now and find out who he really is? What does he want from Hanaka?’

   With so many questions he just stays quiet and tells the elders, “Thanks you all for coming here, I need to talk with them personally” After he said it, the elders got out and while walking, everyone’s eyes were just down and didn't even make eye contact with him. After noticing it, Xenos smiles and is so happy about it. Then he places Hanaka down and she starts to walk fast toward Rygen to present her gift. “Father, I brought these for you… I hope you will be happy by getting it.” When she says it, Rygen is really not happy about hearing the word father from her but at the same time, his mind warns about Xenos who is standing behind her.

   I really didn't like to get this gift from her but I get the feeling that if I do something bad then sure that person will kill me in an instant. First I want to find his truth and then find out how she came to meet this dangerous man. And with a fake smile, Rygen tells Hanaka, “Thank you, just place the gift on the table and also where are you gone? I told you not to move out of this house, right?”

   After he asked for it, Hanaka replied with a sad face, “I went out because elder brother Neon and elder sister Mero told me that if I give you treasure from the middle of the dark forest, you would be happy. I just got there but I wasn't able to find anything, but Xenos gave me a nice idea that I need to buy, ink and brush for you to write books or letters on your work. Do you really like this gift, father?”

   After she said it, Rygen was shocked to hear the word, Dark Forest, because that’s the place where even the demons would fear getting inside but she tells him that she got inside and met this man at the ruins. After telling it, Rygen was really shocked about it but didn't make any reaction on his face. He just says to her, “Hanaka, the maid was worried about you, go to your room and tell her sorry and be there as a good girl. I have something to talk about with this man who is with you”.

   When Rygen said it, Hanaka worried that he would do something to Xenos and tells to her dad, “Father, please don't do anything to Xenos, he is my only friend I got” When she was worried about him, Xenos gets to her, and tells, “What I said to you, My lady. There is no one in this world can able to beat me?” And Hanaka replies to him, “Yeah you said it, but my brother and sister said that father is mighty, equal to the demon king so I am worried about you when father asked you to be here for the talk”.

   “Oh, that’s the reason you are worried then don't worry, because even the demon king’s power is lower than my power. So there is really nothing to worry about, My lady. Now you just go to your room and wait for me and I will bring some delicious honey tea that you would enjoy so much” After he said it, Hanaka smiled so brightly than before and started to walk out from there. And then after hearing Xenos’s words Rygen really feared and stood there without looking anywhere than down.

   After she left, Xenos started to walk toward Rygen and said, “I have a lot of things to know from you, why don't you just sit on your chair and answer my every question without any lies, and if I find that you are telling lies to me then I would really… I think I don't have to spell that out because I think you have already realized the truth about me. So I cut some unwanted conversations and tell the truth. I am the loyal servant to the first Demon King who protected this world. I think the leader of the Chrono family really knows the truth about me, right”.

   After Xenos said it, Rygen was really shocked and sat on his chair without telling anything to him. And just looking at his table and the gift from Hanaka. After some time, the first thing he asks him is, “My father said that you were dead with the first demon king but how are you able to be here with her and also please confirm are you really the servant of the first Demon King, who was feared by the entire demon race and the whole world?” And with a devilish smile, Xenos nods his head as yes.

   Knowing the truth Rygen was really shocked at that moment and stands from his chair and gets near to him. “You are his butler who killed every person who faced the demon king, right? And now why are you being with Hanaka? What are you planning?” After he asked these questions, Xenos just smiled at him and replied, “Yes, I am the person who served the Demon king and the reason why I am being with your daughter is that she formed the contract and made me her own butler just like as the first demon king”.

   After he said it, Rygen was shocked and stepped back a little and held on to his table as support. Just by hearing it, he really can't think straight. Hanaka is really not given the royal name and also her powers are really weaker than the normal demons. She is the illegitimate child of the Chrono family then how she formed the contract with the powerful person in this demon world. Then Rygen asked him, “What are you planning to do with her?  I am sure that you are not just being with her because of a contract. I guess even you are the one who made the contract by saying some words”.

   Xenos laughed so hard and replied to him, “You are really correct, I am one who accepted her but her blood was really the first thing which made the contract, I didn't plan this, ok. And also the answer to your question… I am planning to give the entire world to her because now she became my master and as a loyal servant, I have to give it to her. So tell me all about the current demon lord and also the royal blood families and their new leader. Because even just now I can bring that fake demon lord’s head in my hands but it would not bring peace and a beautiful environment for my master. So I am going to bring down every royal family into my hands and then bring down the fake demon lord from the throne”.

   When he said it, Rygen was really shocked to hear and his legs started to lose their strength and he sat on the ground and thought about the future. And slowly Xenos gets close to him, places his hands on Rygen’s head, and starts to pat him calmly. Then he tells him, “Are you worried about the future of this Chrono family and your lovable two children?” When he said it, Rygen was really scared and pushed Xenos’s hand from his head. And Xenos tells him, “I saw them both from your memories just now, you really loving them so much than your own family responsibility, I can understand”.

   And then Rygen started to speak about everything about the world and how things had changed after the disappearance of the first demon lord. While they were talking, Hanaka was in her room and sat on her bed and looked around to pass some time. At that time, her elder brother and sister were there and were shocked to see her there. Soon Neon got there and asked, “How are you being here? I thought you were gone to the castle inside the dark forest, are you really made fool of us by telling yes to us and being in this house?”

   Then Hanaka says “No, I have really gone there and also made a new friend” When she said it, Mero gets close to her and laughs at her for a few minutes and tells her, “Are you really telling the truth, what kind of idiot would accept to be your friend. And on second thought I think you would have made a friend inside the dark forest. I think the monster that lives inside the forest would be friends with you. What do you think about it, brother?” Then Neon tells her sister Mero, “I too think that her friend would be a monster or wild animal which lives in the forest”.

   At that time Hanaka was just being quiet and sat sadly, she wasn't able to talk right back at them because if she speaks up right now then her brother Neon will beat her or say more bad things about Xenos. While she was just being quiet for a while, suddenly a voice reached the room and it was Xenos. “What is going on my lady?” with a sweet voice, Xenos gets there and talks with Hanaka. After seeing him, both Neon and Mero were surprised that he was so beautiful and powerful. He can sense the power difference just by standing near to him.

   And Mero was mesmerized by his beauty and just looking at his face, her mind went blank and her heart started to beat so fast that she really started to like Xenos by his beautiful appearance. And then after getting there with a honey tea, Xenos pours it into a fancy silver cup and gives it to her. After noticing it, Neon was confused as to who this new person was and also why he was just taking care of the illegitimate child of his father.

   “Hey… Are you one of my father’s underlings? I think the father gave the order to serve her but didn't take it seriously. She is nothing important to this family. You can just let her go and do your own work or you can tease her like the other maids and butlers do every day. She is just an eyesore for us…” While he speaking badly about Hanaka, she can’t able to control her tears and started to cry about it. She remembers the things her maid and other butlers said bad things about her and her mother. Even sometimes the maid will beat her just to let their anger calm down.

   After remembering those things, she can't control the pain in her heart and lets out tears. At that moment, Xenos wipe off the tears from her face and said to her, “Just take the taste of the tea I made for you my lady” When he said it to her, Neon was really angered toward Xenos and looked at him with a wave of anger and even tires to use his power against him but as soon as he started to use the spell, Xenos started to speak to him.

   “Hey… Chrono family’s future. I am not here because your father appointed me for my lady. My lady made a contract with me and allowed me to serve her so don't place me with other cheap people because just thinking about comparing with others really makes me annoyed and feel so bad. Because I am the one who is superior to everyone and doesn't place me with some worms…” While saying it, Xenos looked straight towards Neon’s eyes and gave him the death fear for some second.

   Just a few seconds Neon just experienced so many deaths of his own by Xenos and then soon he lost his strength to stand and kneeled. Who is he? And how he is able to do that to me, the one of the most powerful royal blood. And if he is not my father’s appointed person then why would he serve that pest… Don't tell me… Is he the one with who that pest made friends within the dark forest? And if that’s the truth then he would be the monster… I have to talk about it to my father and inform him about it.

   While Neon is just thinking about it, Xenos tells him, “Don't overwork your brain because it would explode. I already talked with your father Rygen, the current leader of the Chrono family. I will be the personal butler to Miss HanakaTian. And from now on if you all have anything to do with my miss then you have to get permission from me first. Do you get it, Neon Chrono? Now if you don't have anything to do with this place then why don't you get out of here with your lovable sister?”

   Then without saying anything he just started to walk out from there by holding his sister’s hand. Then without wasting any time, Xenos closed the door and poured another cup of tea for Hanaka, and placed it on her hand. “Just drink and get some health, My lady. You're just being so weak and fragile”.

   With a cute laugh, Hanaka just dodged the advice and started to drink the tea. She really enjoyed drinking tea because until today she never tasted good food from the day she was born. No one cared for her health or life, maids and butlers who are appointed for her did their job half-heartedly and even some maids hated to work under her and even scolded her with anger. She had just been quiet at that moment and came this far today and now Xenos is with her and going to help in the future.

   And at the new demon king's castle, one of the ministers gets toward the demon king and tells the news about the arrival of a new person into the Chrono family. “Oh… Then continue the investigation and place the close watch on the new person. I think things are going to be more interesting from now on”.
