"Hey! Chase that kid!"
"Don't let him get away!"
"Cursed devil child!"
"Tsk! Damn! I'll get caught if it's like this."
Clothes tattered but appearance beautiful like a pink rose flower. Bare feet running fast on wet ground while carrying a handful of wheat in his hands. His breath trembling. The air in this village is very cold! He felt an extreme pain on the soles of his bare feet.
No! This is still too early to give up. He is the King running on the streets! Remember your past! Just laugh at it! Speed up your steps! Good! That pair of small feet managed to run faster toward the place behind the mountain. Slowly, he turned back. Those people were no longer there! This is the time!
Those small feet stopped running, standing on the dry mountain ground. His eyes closed, feeling the mountain wind blowing strongly, carrying his body slowly rising leaving the ground. The hand that was gripping wheat opened, letting the wheat-wheat fly freely around him.
Small animals approached feeling the attachment from the magical energy that child released. They hid, watching the beauty that was happening. Pink-colored hair blowing softly up there, with light blue eyes like the sky that was visible when he opened them. That figure, smiled.
Water flowed under his feet, making the ground become mud. The wheat flying around him fell onto the ground that looked fertile. Slowly, with magical energy spinning above him, the wheat that changed into seeds began to grow. The owner smiled happily.
The spinning wind carrying magical energy began to disappear. The body that was airborne returned slowly approaching above the ground that was now filled with wheat plants. He crouched, looking full of happiness at the result of his actions. Feeling a rustling sound behind the bush, he then turned. Small animals walked hesitantly approaching him.
"How? Good isn't the result?" he asked the small animal that was sniffing his wheat plants. "With this, I don't need to worry about starving."
That sweet face looked down dejectedly, "What is this..." He squeezed both his hands. "Will I return to living like before? I'm scared. I thought My Lord now is not much different from before, but apparently I was wrong." One hand stroked the small animal that passed.
"The appearance of both is not different at all. However, both are still different people. I miss the First Lord. How long has time passed since his departure...?" He raised his gaze looking at the sky.
Meanwhile, the group of people who were chasing turned direction after not finding his whereabouts anywhere. Through the forest road they returned. Clicking their tongues to cursing, their merchandise was always stolen by that little thief! On the forest road full of water puddles they returned home together with the farm weapons they brought.
Arriving at the boundary of the forest and settlement, two foreign men walked opposite them approaching. Foreign inhabitants. Even though their clothes were worn, the beautiful appearance remained what became the first focus center of people who saw them.
"Excuse me, uncles." Lucifer's laughing voice that was very recognizable greeted the group of people passing by. "May I ask?"
Those people stopped, looking for a moment at Lucifer's butler clothes that were strange for a young adventurer. "Are you not an adventurer?" One of them asked.
"Correct, uncle." Lucifer bowed slightly as a greeting and said, "I am a civil officer who has a task in this area to look for a girl." He stood back up with a friendly face.
"Is he the person the center sent after thousands of reports that we made about that devil child?" Someone whispered to his friend while glancing at Lucifer.
"We were chasing him earlier, but lost his tracks among the foot of the mountain. You can look for him there."
"Thank you very much, uncle." Lucifer turned back to where Leviathan stood without a sound. "We have to climb the mountain, My Lord."
Leviathan walked approaching the group of residents in front of him. "Accept this. This is compensation for the goods that he stole." He handed over an emerald gem worth one luxury house in the capital to them.
"Th-thank you, My Lord!" They bowed together before leaving as fast as lightning leaving the forest.
"You can feel it, right, My Lord?" Lucifer who was already standing beside Leviathan asked.
"No mistake if this is his mana."
"Let's meet that troublemaker, My Lord."
Lucifer stomped his foot lightly on the ground, a magic circle that glowed dark purple appeared. That magic circle floated, illuminating himself and Leviathan. Then, pulling them to move places to the area that Lucifer wanted. A barren area that changed to become full of wheat plants and dense trees.
Lucifer who stood in front turned right and left looking for someone. A crow that stopped on his shoulder cawed loudly. He knew where his target was. Walking forward until meeting an old hut that was emitting smoke from its chimney. From the ground he moved to the floor that creaked softly, reaching for the door knob and opening it.
"Who is there?" The sound of footsteps approached from inside. "Have those people found my residence? Tsk!" He clicked his tongue between his steps toward the door.
"Please come in, My Lord." Lucifer invited Leviathan to enter first before himself.
"Hey! Who are you!" With a wheat stirrer he pointed at the two people who entered his residence.
Lucifer folded both his hands in front of his chest with a questioning look toward the ten-year-old child. "Street beggar." He insulted, looking from bottom to top at the appearance of the child in front of him.
"You..." Wait! His forehead furrowed. Handsome face and typical appearance... "Lucifer?!"
Lucifer snorted softly with one hand covering his nose, "It seems your news is very bad, Karya."
"You...!" Karya wanted to retaliate against Lucifer, but stopped when seeing the figure that was not unfamiliar beside him. His gaze was diverted to another direction, lazy to see that figure. "You also came apparently, My Lord," He said.
Leviathan approached, but seeing Karya avoid him he decided to ask in place, "How are you, Karya?"
Karya snorted amused, "Why do you care?"
"Karya! It's not proper for you to say that to My Lord." Lucifer cut in firmly.
Karya stomped both his hands then shouted, "Why! Isn't it My Lord never cared about us? Maybe for My Lord we are just a bunch of useless disturbers! Admit admit both have the same appearance, but still both are different people! The First Lord is different from him!" He bravely showed his finger at Leviathan.
Lucifer's forehead furrowed angrily, "Karya! Are you-"
"-Why did you come here? I hate you!" Karya shouted, then collapsed to the floor and crying. "Let me live and stay away from me. Really, I'm tired of hoping for someone who is the same as the First Lord. Accept me, tell me where I must walk, and not hate me like most people. Woman of death like me..."
Levaithan looked at Karya from above with mixed feelings. Was he that cruel before until hurting her who was willing to be loyal to him? Couldn't this great self do something like the figure in that woman's memory? "Sorry..." Leviathan said, softly. "Forgive me, Karya. I am not as good as father. Father and I are very different." He continued, making Karya look up.
"My Lord..." Karya glanced at Lucifer, and Lucifer nodded because he knew Karya would ask 'has My Lord already known about the First Lord?'
Leviathan crouched facing Karya who had stopped crying and kept looking at him. "Can you forgive this self that has shortcomings? Not for now, but slowly."
Karya was silent frozen. "Y-you... Why have you become like this? Has Lucifer given the wrong food?"
Leviathan smiled funny, "Come with me once again. Not you who want it, but I who want it."
Lucifer walked approaching while saying, "Forget your past, Karya. No matter what you will say later, you are still one of the Seven Great Devils."
Leviathan helped Karya stand. "How is this? I want to refuse it, but why can't I? Agh!" Karya rambled in his heart.
Leviathan sighed softly, "If indeed you don't want to, then let it be like that. Live well and don't steal again." He made Karya's face turn red from embarrassment.
"My-my Lord... You..."
"I already paid for it."
Karya glanced at Lucifer, he was startled that handsome man was actually staring at him sharply. He then turned back to Leviathan again. "Alright. I will accept it."
"Thank you." Leviathan extended his hand to Karya, "Come. Accompany me on a long journey seeing this world."
Karya accepted Leviathan's hand happily. "Okay, My Lord!" He threw his wheat stirrer carelessly, and began releasing quite large magical energy to change his whole appearance into his usual self. Beautiful and also lovely, that is how he is as the Great Devil bearer of death.
"Holding this hand, makes me remember the time when we first met, First Lord." With a body that moved following their steps, for a moment turning back and seeing the shadow of the meeting that changed his life.
