The Incubus System Chapter 525. What Did You Say?!
A second later, I was in my room and walked to my bed. I decided to sleep it out and swallowed all the mixed emotions inside me. Something I usually did when I was in a bad mood. But my human father's voice resonated in my head.
'If you sleep right after dinner, you will turn into a cow, Ethan.' That was something he always said when I was a kid.
I stopped in my tracks and took a deep breath.
'Right. Sleeping right after dinner is unhealthy.' I bent my head down. Somehow what Lord Damon said made me miss my human dad.
But that didn't mean I did not value Lord Damon. I was just a little annoyed with him. He often didn't appreciate a little thing since he had many things.
Unlike me, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, grew up as a royal from the start, and was trained to carry out the king's duties since he was a kid. So I couldn't blame him either. He didn't know how to act like a commoner like I didn't know how to act like a royal. He didn't know, a simple thing could be very valuable to me, not only power and strength.
'Ah, right. He is also a terrifying tsundere. I forgot about that.' I wondered why manga and anime always depict tsundere as a cutie while reality said otherwise.
I went to my desk and sat there. My hand opened my laptop. Killing my time, I decided to find out the news or browse some information about the demon world. There was so much stuff I didn't know so I could read a lot of articles for hours. But I only read it from a trusted website since fake information could mislead me.
Just like a boy around my age, as I read the articles, I put on wireless headphones and listen to the music. I hoped it could improve my mood. Although the demon world music was a little weird, it was kinda similar to the human world. The current music usually used autotune, mixed up with dubstep or rap. While the older type of music was something similar to classical music. So I still could enjoy it.
'Oh, this is interesting,' I thought. My eyes were fixed on my laptop screen.
Since I couldn't find anything, I decided to check Letos' history and found a battle arena where Erebus defeated Letos' mother. Its name was Lost Love Arena.
It piqued my interest since even though Letos had many bad memories of that place, he didn't destroy it. Instead, he built his throne on the battle arena and made the place a sex gladiator arena. Yeah, weird indeed, since instead of a real battle, it was for a sex duel. The one that came out longer and gave more pleasure was the winner. Yeah… it was something that only existed in Lust City.
In the middle of my 'study', suddenly the atmosphere around me turned heavy. A tap came from behind me and landed on my shoulder.
A second later, the scenery around me changed. My hand was no longer above my mouse again and the music stopped. Also instead of sitting, I was standing up.
I swept my gaze around. I was in another bigger and much-much more luxurious room. Gold, diamonds, antiques, and luxury paintings were everywhere even though the interior was similar to my room. Also, there were no dildos here.
'You won't be able to have this room although you sold your kidney', that was this room's impression. Something that only belonged to 'him'.
Calmy, I turned around and lowered my headphones to my neck. A long exhale came out of my mouth since only one demon could change the atmosphere quickly like that. A dry smile on my lips.
"What do you want to talk about, dad?" I said politely. Well, I wouldn't expect an apology since that was impossible. I bet that he wanted to give me his reason or anything that could maintain his dignity.
It was annoying, but that he was. The apocalypse would happen if a king like him apologized to me for this trivial matter.
Surprisingly, he didn't immediately answer. Even though he put his cool expression on, I caught his hesitation.
I frowned upon his unusual silence.
"Did something happen?" I threw my random guess. A trace of concern was evident in my tone of voice.
He took a deep breath before he let out his voice.
"I'm sorry for calling your human dad weak."
I was stunned and thought my ears had deceived me. My jaw dropped. It was awkward and weird at the same time. It took me a while before I responded.
"W-What did you say?" I asked in a stammering voice. My eyes blinked in disbelief and that was also evident in the tone of my voice. Those words were enough to mess up my thoughts.
Okay, maybe I should prepare for the apocalypse or worse. Or… would an alien race attack the three worlds and turn us all into zombies?
"I'm sorry for calling your human dad weak," he repeated. I wished I could record it with my phone.
Lord Damon apologized? The king of the demon world? The Lord of Pride apologized?
'Am I dreaming?' I wanted to slap my face to make sure that I wasn't, but I was too shocked.
He frowned upon my reaction.
"I don't want to repeat it. And stop making that stupid face. It's pathetic." His arrogant tone returned.
I ignored his mockery and gave him a train of questions.
"Are you okay? Are you sick or something? Or did you weaken again? Has your condition worsened?" Reflexively, I put my hand on his forehead while the other on mine to compare his temperature. I didn't know if it worked for the demon or not but at least I tried.
