Ficool

The Demon Prince of Mahora 01

"Dear future… no, it seems like… ugh, why would they… no, God no… I'm actually..."

A young boy, with snow white hair, that fell down to the base of his neck, and spiked at the front. His eyes were a deep crimson colour. Horns grew out of his head, and large wings appeared out of the back of him, though if he wished, he could hide them and he'd appear to be a normal human.

He was overlooking a few papers that his Mother had given him. He himself looked around 15 years old, a good build but not overly muscular. His face had a bewitching handsome that would sucker most to believe that he was quite an innocent person, and his skin looked white, almost pale.

On his body, he wore what appeared to be robes, as if he was royalty. On his head, was a royal looking crown, and he looked rather tired for some reason. On his arm, there were eight rings, as if they were tattoo's on his flesh itself.

Before him, many different types of Demon's stood there within the large hall. Large, small, and normal sized Demon's. Each of them seemed to be waiting an order from him.

"Fiancee… Konoka Konoe… she's that girl from my childhood who I actually liked… hmmm, I wonder how she's grown..." A wicked smile appeared over his face, and turned his eyes outwards, overlooking what seemed to be a legion of Demon-like creatures. "Seems my Mom wants me to get married. Hahaha, what a foolish idea, marrying when I won't be around long enough for such a thing. Don't worry though my friends, I'll be making sure you're all well looked after!"

The Demon's all cheered while the boy brushed a lock of white hair behind his ear.

Then, a man who looked to be middle age, albeit with horns sticking out of his head, came rushing towards the boy.

"Sire! Sire!"

"Don't call me Sire because it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and what is it that you want?"

"Y-Yes sir, I have just received orders from your Mother. You are to be sent to Mahora immediately."

"First of all, what the hell is a Mahora? And second of all, why am I being sent there?"

"Y-Yes sir, Mahora is apparently an academy within the human world, it is to talk about your marriage to one Konoka Konoe-sama. Your Mother has arranged you to meet her, and to stay at the academy."

"Staying around humans? Why would I want to do something like that? Attending an academy for humans? She must be having a joke. I understand."

The boy demanded, making the man cringe at the sight.

"B-Because of your illness sir..."

"Yes, I am aware of the illness, Albert. What I want to know is why my Mother believes it is a good idea that I spend time with humans? I have already decided that I am going to allow the illness to do what it wants with this form of mine."

"B-But Sire!" The boy gave a glare. "I-I mean, sir." The boy slowly nods his head. "Y-Yes sir, your Mother w-wants you to try and rid yourself of the illness. She has made an arrangement w-with an old friend, Konoemon-sama who is the headmaster of the school. F-For being there, he wants to have a bodyguard for his granddaughter… Konoka-sama..."

"A bodyguard for Kono-chan huh." The boy grinned with interest. But that soon faded, and he rolled his eyes. "Not interested. I'm sure Secchan is enough for that. Me being there would cause unnecessary problems to Kono-chan, and I don't want to do that."

"But sir! If you don't go, the King will be furious and he'll send you to 300 years of torture!"

"Well, he can try but I haven't got long left to live anyway so it doesn't matter."

"But think of us too sir. W-With you gone, our nation will fall."

The boy ran a hand through his white hair, and threw his head backwards.

"Well, if you say things like that, then I would become troubled. I wouldn't want my kingdom to fall after all. You've been good to me in these years of being under my servitude. Even then, going to a human school to spend my last days of being alive is… I couldn't leave my empire behind for my own selfish reasons..."

Suddenly, he felt an ominous aura behind him.

He cringed, and felt a hand grab his head, dragging his body upwards. The large hand had large fingernails as well which pressed against the base of his skull. He almost thought that his skull was going to be crushed.

"Haruto!" A large booming voice came from the figure holding him up. "You will go towards this school and don't make a mockery of our family, do you understand me!? I will not allow some illness to kill off my child! If you don't ride yourself of it soon, I'll kill you myself, do you understand me!?"

The boy cringed, and grabbed the claws on his skull.

"Alright, take your hands off me. I'll go, I'll go. But I'll be taking my Demon's—"

"No you will not!"

"Ugh… whatever, fine. Stop yelling in my ear. I can survive in the human world on my own."

Suddenly, the hulking monster shrunk down into a human form. He looked like Haruto, though he only had red hair rather than white, and his eyes were as dark as Haruto's red eyes. He gripped the boy by the throat, and held him up, essentially strangling Haruto.

"Now you listen to me boy, the only reason you live is because your Mother wishes it. You've already been shamed by being cursed by humans in the first place, if you don't want me to kill you, then you better break that damn illness. Otherwise, I'll kill you before the disease has a chance to do so and I'll do it more painfully to wash the filth of our family from existence, do you understand me?"

Haruto gripped the man's hands, and tried pulling away but his hand was too tight, too strong.

"Alright, I already know. Now take your hands off me."

The boy's Father charged his hand up with fire, and slammed it against Haruto's body, the boy coughing up blood, and was flung into a wall nearby.

The boy's Father looked ashamed of Haruto, and then huffed.

"If it was up to me, you'd already be dead. Be grateful your Mother cares for you. You disgust me, dirty blooded scum."

Within the wall, Haruto held a hand to his stomach, and glared harshly towards his Father as he walked away.

Haruto then placed his hand outwards, and magical lights gathered around.

"Come spirits of ice! Tundra and Glacier, Spread Forth into the Air, in the Realm of White Night! Frozen Earth!"

From the ground, pillars of jagged ice came erupting upwards, while Haruto winced, feeling pain running through his body. The ice headed for his Father, who turned around and smirked, seeing the ice, before he placed his hand outwards, and shadows came upwards, smashing through the ice, and his smirk went towards his son who narrowed his eyes.

"You use your human magic to fight me, yet regret your Demon side. If you wish to fight me, then you're going to have to accept both your human and Demon side. But for me, you can't defeat me with this."

He turned his head around along with his body and then left the area, Haruto clutching his chest.

As soon as he was gone, Haruto's attendants rushed over and helped him out of the wall.

"Sir, are you okay!?"

Haruto looked down at his wounded stomach, and grimaced.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Seems like I'll have to enact my plans sooner than I planned. I'll definitely need to gain some partners."

"Plans, sir?"

Haruto twitched his eyebrows, and then stretched his hands, addressing the masses.

"Everyone, please do not worry about my Father destroying you after I'm gone. While I might be leaving, I have already arranged your safety. For serving me these past years, you shall be rewarded, I've made sure that you'll all have comfortable lives. Even when those humans cursed me to die, you all stood before me and followed my every word, and I am very grateful to all of you, so I've been contacting various people, and have arranged to have you all be taken care of by trusted allies of myself. Do not worry about my Father, he won't be able to find any of you, you'll all be safe!"

"""Haruto-sama is the best! Haruto-sama is the best!"""

They chanted again and again, while Albert, as Haruto called him, moved closer, with tears in his eyes.

"I-I knew you cared for us sir!"

"Of course I do, you're all apart of my Kingdom, and you've served me well."

"Sir… will you really die? What if you need to fight? We can't bare the thoughts of you dying."

Haruto shrugged calmly.

"Guess we'll find out eventually. Don't worry Albert, if I can take care of a Kingdom with the powers I have, I can handle myself within the human world. I have enough money for any adventure, due to the various deals I've made in the past. It is only humans, I mean, how hard could it be?"

Truly Haruto had no idea what he was in store for.
