[At the Demon Kingdom castle]

[Aries point of view]

I tried to talk to Druser once more, regarding the plausible objective of both of his brothers, the traitorous princes of the Demon Kingdom, but he keeps delaying, so much so that

"!" [Other]

"No more delaying. I have known you for so long that I know for a fact, that you're avoiding me" [Aries]

I just went straight to Druser, and with a "firm tap" on his shoulder, I directly ask him. If my self control is as "good" as Ash, then his shoulder bone will most likely get crush by me. I wouldn't go that far, but I'm sure my "tap" will leave a bruise that can take a while to heal

"I..." [Druser]

His wife, stares dagger at me for doing so. My successor didn't react as she simply wanted to see how things develop, and the same goes to Singa's grandfather and Motra's little brother. I will say my action do seems excessive. I am no longer a paladin of the demon kingdom, and as such, what I did is an assault to a royalty, but

"I am not speaking to a king right now. Right now, I am speaking to a friend that fought alongside me during the war of succession, and most importantly, right now, I am speaking as a paladin that support the ten heroes, and as such, I will not leave until I get my answer" [Aries]

"Very well... I will tell you..." [Druser]

Druser is still hesitate to talk, but he gather his courage and...

"The old demon king, your father... Is still alive?" [Aries]

"That's impossible! We know the war of succession is because of..." [Singa's grandfather]

"That's why I am still hesitant to talk. I can't be sure whether the one visiting me was truly him or those two brothers of mine playing trick, but regardless, I'm sure I am the one to be blame if it's true..." [Druser]

"Darling... What do you mean?" [Demon Queen]

We collectively hold our breaths, waiting for the answer to come from Druser

"Apparently... I was the one casting an ancient spell by the Iblis to him, and thus..." [Druser]

"Iblis? As in the fallen devil king?" [Motra's little brother]

Iblis come into play once again. Yesterday, it was Htilorez that mentioned this name, and now, it's Druser

"What will happen, my king" [New Paladin]

Druser once again, muster all he can, and

"I'll die, and he will take my body to..." [Druser]

"Who will take your body?" [Aries]

"The fallen devil king, Iblis... And they plan on using Iblis and Seraph to gain power once more" [Druser]

"So, instead of getting to the witch, they're now changing plan" [Singa's grandfather]

"What witch?" [Aries]

[At the New Headquarters]

[Seo Ah point of view]

Again, with the harp of his, he began to perform his mini concert, all the while filling this room with his holy mana. Slowly, the holy mana fill the entire room, and

"There is it!" [Seo Ah]

"The same feather! Thank goodness!" [Alicia]

"Making a grand total of three feathers thus far" [Seraph]

Seraph theorized that, since the Holy Beast is well, HOLY, it will react to Seraph's own holy mana as well. Maybe not like that of a magnet, or like that of a proton and electron, but rather, like two long lost friend reaching out to each other, to quote him. I don't know why he uses that example, but what I do know is that, our current method is working!

"Do you need a break Mr Seraph?" [Seo Ah]

"Not to worry Seo Ah, for the elegant me and my harp can perform countless of time. Though if you insist, a sister giving a massage is rather..." [Seraph]

"Stop flirting around! Plus, she's a sister!" [Alicia]

I guess that's just part of his personality, but I suppose any women hearing what he just said will find his joke a bit creepy... That is if it was a joke... Yes a joke. I'm sure it's a joke.

After telling Saint Louis and the other about our discovery, those who can use holy mana (Seraph, Saint Louis and two other archbishop) spread out and begin using their holy mana to search for Rampaging Garuda feathers. Well, our plan is to have those four keep using their holy mana so that we could find any scattering feathers of the Holy Beast, and once we have gather enough feathers, we will test any potential tools to see whether the tools react to the feathers or not. If, by chance, one of the tools do react to the feathers, than we can assume that that is the tools once use by the royalty of this country to tracked and hunt down the holy beast

(Still, we have been going around for half a day now but...) [Seo Ah]

So far, we only got a total of three feathers. I wonder if those three feathers are enough to even evoke a response to the tools, and that's not taking into account that the tools is still here in the first place, or whether it's still in good condition or not

"Not to worry 𝅘𝅥𝅮! Why worry when you can be relax 𝅘𝅥𝅮! Why worry when the uncertainties can be replaced with hope𝅘𝅥𝅮!" [Seraph]

We are still in the corridor, trying to enter the next room, but he already start singing, and the contents of his song is mostly to cheer me up.

"Is it that obvious..." [Seo Ah]

"What kind of musician will I be when I can't even read the mood of a cute sister in front of me. My music is meant to bring positivity around the world, especially to a cute lady like you" [Seraph]

(He destroy his moment to become cool...) [Alicia]

"Hahaha!" [Seo Ah]

"!?" [Alicia]

"Mr Seraph, you're funny!" [Seo Ah]

I guess I really misjudged him a bit. I might still need a bit more of my training to become a splendid person like Saintess Rumia. Let just keep striving!
