The King of Faries is now a Demon Lord

Chapter 47: Offering Cola to a God

Vivaldi- Winter (Violin Piece to listen along with this chapter. It has a piano version also but Violin is the original one.)

~

"Would you like to play the piano for us all instead of harp, our new bishop really wants to hear you play the piano?"

Rael had expected something like this since he knew that everyone had been mesmerized by his music, but he internally also frowned a bit.

A new bishop?

Is that the person who was gazing at me so heavily?

He nodded as he walked towards the high Pavillion. A huge grand piano was standing in the middle of it all. It was like as if charred and made out of the wood of Drassil, a common tree found in the fairy realm.

Wait... Drassil?

How?

Fairy wood was supposed to be sold expensively. Has something changed from when I was replaced as a ruler?

'Maybe I am overthinking.....'

He released a sigh as he reached the podium, he sat on the chair feeling comfortable, for some reason the pillow was also the same quality as those that were in the fairy realm.

Weird.... very damn weird.

His long fingers slowly caressed the wood of the piano, he could feel it, the deep familiarity from it, it was as if he was back in his home realm.

An enchanting woodland flowed till the depths of infinity conjoining with a lake full of underwater Lillies, it was dreamy and exquisite, following in the direction of the lake there was a massive waterfall from which crystal clear water gurgled.

Atop the waterfall's head, right across it was a small grassy meadow, in that meadow was a breathlessly exquisite grand piano standing proudly.

It was his piano, Rael's personal and most favorite piano.

Crises-Vilzi

'Cry of the Forest.'

That was the name of his piano, Crisez-Vilzi in Fairy language.

It was not just any kind of piano, it was one of the best pianos in the entire world, it was directly made out of the wood of the Word Tree 'Yggdrasil'.

It was the most cherished partner of Rael and even had a divine consciousness and could even transform into a sword that he used many times.

Rael could be called a huge artist, his passion for art was too much, so much that he had even decided to go on a dao journey specializing in music.

However, his duties as a King came first so he was restricted once again.

Hence he was very happy that in this life he had no restrictions.

He hated being a king, he had never asked to be one, he was forced.

His hands slid through the gaps of the keys, as his hands slowly started to play the piano, the keys were gently pressed.

Everyone in that very instant could feel the change in the air.

Wisps full of color burst in the environment as they flowed to cracks and places unknown.

The entire atmosphere was filled with a melody of breathtaking euphoria.

His hands kept playing the same melody in consistency, all of a sudden the melody completely changed!!

It was like a storm bursting after the calm.

Darkness befell everyone present, as horror could be seen etched upon their faces.

Blood, the ground was soaked with blood.

The skies were dark.

The moon itself was red, reflecting the color of the bloodied ground.

People were dying left and right, plants wilted as the sounds of swords and shields could be heard.

Rael continued to play, then slowly the progression became slow as if the darkness was finally lifting.

The Skies parted as the first rays of the morning sun fell upon the ground revitalizing all life, cheers of victory sounded in the entire area.

The patches on the ground started to become green as lushful plants started to grow, light was shining on them.

They were blessed but they didn't realize.

Everything was taken for granted, once again war would follow through, as the once green ground would be filled with blood yet again.

It was just a matter of time.

But for now...

There was happiness.

Finally, his hands slowed down as they went towards the higher notes.

The season of fall was over as winter came, a small animal was running in the hazard of snow as a larger animal ran after it, in order to predate it.

Shivering in the cold weather, the wind blew violently as it came to a stop, it teeth that were chattering had finally come to a stop.

The smaller animal looked behind and saw that the larger animal was dead due to the extreme frost and thorns of ice in the way.

He slowly walked towards it and started to observe it while circling around it, checking for any visible signs of life.

There were no signs of life.

There was no expression on its face.

It went near it and slowly started to eat the older animal that was trying to predate him without mercy.

This was life, he would do whatever he could do to survive.

In this heavy winter,

Death was inevitable.

Slowly the snow wilted as it revealed a fresh cop of flowers.

Spring had come again, a spring without you.

It was simple, yet so complicated.

A cycle of life and death.

His hands came to a stop as he looked towards the empty ceiling with a bitter smile on his face, standing up the first thing he did was bow to the crowd.

Everyone present was crying, there was no one who was not crying.

Rael's music boomed in their mind even the message that it followed.

Everything has an order, a cycle, a path to follow.

Be it, animal, place or thing, all of it has a fixed result.

As everything ends.

The End is inevitable.

All of them clapped to their very best, an ovation was held, even those outside the temple, standing on the street cried as they clapped.

His music could be heard outside the temple also.

Even in the Enforcer Department, many were crying.

In a particular corner, a woman in the shadows stood as she wiped the corner of her eyes.

A smile was etched upon her face, not a bitter one but a warm smile.

"So it really is you, daddy...ehehe."

Rael took his bottle of cola and slowly started to pour it directly on the statue of Fakir.

He had no idea that this is not how you offer food.

The priests looked at him with utter horror as he drowned the poor demon god with all the coke left in his bottle.

Feeling the gazes, Rael turned around to look at them with a confused look.

"Um... is there something wrong?"

The priests and the followers couldn't even say one thing in front of him.

How could they?

All of them had enjoyed his music.

They would be ingrates if they behaved like that.

All they could do was politely explain to him.

After they were done explaining and told him how to do it, Rael stood there perplexed.

"Oh."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"So... sorry?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"By the way, where is the new bishop?" He played for the new bishop as a welcome for him but he or she still didn't come to greet him.

It should be common courtesy but he or she still didn't do so.

The High-Priest looked at him with some guilt, "Actually she left, she said that she was feeling a bit sick."

Rael frowned, that was a clear lie from the bishop's side.

Even the priests had noticed but what else could they say.

They themselves were wondering to themselves,

'When did we get a new bishop?'

Rael shook his head and returned to a calm exterior, "Alright then it was nice meeting you priests again, I will be taking my leave."

The sole reason to why he had come was because of the gaze he felt in the morning, now that he had nothing to do he wouldn't stick around.

He was already a loner in the Lower World with no friends except the ladies.

While he was on his way, he suddenly got an idea.

'Should I go and gaze at my statue?'

He started to giggle creepily as a giddy feeling overwhelmed him.

Now the last thing left to do was to leave everything to his subconscious, the body would sleepwalk towards the statue on its own like before.

'I follow the wind..."

Saying that in his mind, his consciousness swept away in deep slumber but not his body, his subconscious body move towards the location of the statue.

The next moment Rael opened his eyes he was standing in a familiar dark cave-like place, with a wall that stood upright in front of him.

Following the vines on the ground with his beautiful violet eyes, he walked a bit further and came forward to look at the familiar ugly statue of him.

'Huh? Who is that?'

Below the statue was a woman in a white dress, as her back was facing Rael he couldn't see anything but he could make out that she was quite curvaceous and her skin was extremely beautiful.

The last sun-rays of the day kiss the heath and as the greens and purples melt into grey under the moonlight.

The trees were crazy silhouettes against the newly silver sky, its blue hue almost gone until dawn.

Their branches sway in the wind, creaking into the gusting air.

The first rays of moonlight shimmered entrancingly on the figure of the woman.

In a different subspace and realm.

"Umm....yummy! This cola is very tasty! I need to find the person who offered this to me! I will give him a blessing! Cola is the best!"
