Pov Julius (Black Emperor):
"How are the troops?" (I)
"They are being trained as instructed, we also have enough light element resistance items." (General Razir)
"How are the other preparations going?" (I)
"The routes for our army are secured, we also have information on the movement of troops from the Church of Light." (General Razir)
"Is the Grimo Empire moving?" (I)
"No, they seem to have chosen to take a neutral position." (General Razir)
"That would be for the best, we have a non-aggression agreement, they are strong and the other neutral nations have been on guard against them." (I)
"Have the allied nations of the Church of Light shown any movement yet?" (I)
"No apparent movement, but our spies have confirmed movement of strange resources, far above normal, all being sent to the Church of Light." (General Razir)
"We'll talk about this later, now I need to know more about the Hero of Light, any news about the murder?" (I)
"They are blaming us, but that would be impossible, any Demon who had done that would have proudly announced what he did for glory." (General Razir)
"But it's still not known who did it? No leads through our allies?" (I)
"No one knows anything yet, all we know is that all the bodies of Neji's entire Hero group were dismembered, cause of death for everyone still a mystery." (General Razir)
"If it was one of our allies there would be no reason to hide it from us, in fact, you might even receive a reward." (I)
"This Hero of Light claimed to be the same as the past, but he was more aggressive, impatient, and lacked the authority of the Regent of Light." (I)
"But he was still strong, his growth rate was very fast, abnormally fast, the Church of Light would use him in this war." (I)
"If I may Emperor, his death favors us, so why do you look so tense?" (General Razir)
"Because this demonstrates that there is a third force involved, someone is trying to hasten the start of this war." (I)
"Someone intends to attack when everyone else is at their weakest." (I)
"Do we know who it could be?" (General Razir)
"No, the information is few, but we don't have time now, the Church of Light will make a move, we don't have time to look for this enemy that has remained invisible until today." (I)
"But we have time to clean up the pests that surround us without seeing." (I)
"..." (I)
Sigh
"The messenger who arrived today, do you know where he was from?" (I)
"I wasn't aware of any couriers." (General Razir)
"What are you about... Ahhhhhhh!!!!" (General Razir)
I, who had my back to General Razir while looking at the city from the balcony of the Imperial Palace, turn around to see the Demon Warlock still frozen in his kneeling position.
A middle aged man with stubble, short black and gray hair, and bluish skin with magical jagged marks almost all over his body, once the man I called the best friend I grew up with.
"Ahhhhhh... Julius... how... how did you find out..." (General Razir)
"You were always an excellent liar my friend, but your mistake was always the same, you always look for the most precious things when you lie, a way to encourage yourself." (I)
"From the moment you looked at me you're rubbing the wedding ring, from the moment you got down on one knee you're looking at the ring every few words, you've never been so obvious, you just show how much you're suffering doing this, but still you keep going." (I)
"< Inhibit >" (I)
"I canceled your ability to feel pain, so speak up, tell me why you of all people side with this Shadow." (I)
"You ask but you already know the answer..." (Razir)
"Do you think she of all people would support that!?" (I)
"She died, the dead don't feel anything anymore Julius, we, the living, feel all the loneliness, anger and hate." (Razir)
"She died at the hands of an extremist, she died simply because she was a Human who married a Demon." (Razir)
Débora was an Adventurer, I remember the day Razir came back bringing her to a ball, it was before he succeeded her father, and at the time she was still an Adventurer traveling across the continent.
There were Demons who did not approve of a Human woman at the ball, but as my guest, no one could do or say anything against her, I remember the idiotic smile on Razir's face, I remember the way the two of them looked at each other throughout the entire ball as if only the two of them were there.
"I will not apologize Julius, I know I am doing something Heinous, I know I betrayed her trust, but I would do it all over again just to eradicate them from this world, they have no right to exist in the world she loved so much, I WILL NOT ALLOW IT THAT!" (Razir)
As he spoke his Aura didn't try to fight me or the curse that had been influencing him since he entered the Palace, he knew he wouldn't be able to survive and he wouldn't be able to escape me either.
I stood there in front of him, I watched him slowly die, his eyes even at the end staring at the wedding ring, no more words needed to be exchanged, I knew what he had done, the message I received from the Elves told me everything I needed to know, he also knows that there would be only one reason for me to act against him.
"Goodbye my old friend..." (I)
A single tear fell from my eyes when I realized that all that was in front of me now still kneeling was a body, this was the third time I had cried in my life.
"I know you can hear me, without his presence to mask yours, there's nowhere left to hide your Familiar." (I)
"As expected of the great Demon Emperor's grandson, you showed no mercy even to your friend... hahahahaha..."
Razir's shadow begins to move, consuming his body until all that's left is a shadowy, red-eyed silhouette with a twisted smile, lifting his head at me.
"I'll make you pay no matter where you are." (I)
"I'll be waiting..."
"< Demonic Curse: One Death for One Death >" (I)
"A minor inconvenience, I was never alive, to begin with."
"Let this damn war begin... ha haha hahahaha..."
"But their containers do." (I)
The shadow disappears along with the glowing purple light of the curse I cast, someone like him will get rid of the curse sooner or later, but that will buy time, maybe a few months if you're lucky.
I look down at the ground, nothing was left of the body, I had nothing but the memory of the past to remind me of my old friend.
"Where did I go wrong..." (I)
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
