Chapter 250 The Princess and the Knight (Part )
"His name is Avros, and he is dead." When Lucyka said this, her eyes drooped and her mood visibly dropped.
When the Demon King was sealed, he divided part of his power into ten parts and scattered them among the demons and vampires.
These forces are used to protect the Demon King's Palace's territory in the Demon Realm from being seized by other tribes.
The power of the Demon King's Palace includes the entire demon clan and the vampire clan.
The Demon King did this mainly because the battle between the Demon King's Palace and the Mortal Realm and the Divine Court had consumed all the god-level combat power.
If there were no god-level combat power, the other tribes would not miss the opportunity to encroach on the territory of the Demon King's Palace.
The power of the Demon King was scattered among the ten families, which led to the current structure of the Demon King's Palace. Now the affairs of the Demon King's Palace are handled by the ten major families, and the position of the Demon King has been vacant.
The ten demons and vampires who possess the power of the devil have a title called "Ten Demons of the Demon Palace".
Lucyka possesses the power of the devil, so she is naturally a member of the ten great families. Her family is called Henryster.
Since Lucy has never been able to control the power of the Demon King, the Henryst family is the weakest among the ten major families and has basically no say.
The Henryst family is now in a very embarrassing situation, because they do not have god-level combat power. They only have a title but no actual power. Their real status is not as good as those emerging families with god-level combat power.
Except for Lucyka, the other nine demons and vampires who possessed the power of the Demon King wanted to take that part of the Demon King's power from her, but they were restrained by each other and no one had the opportunity to take action.
The power of the Demon King is not easy to control. When Lucyka was chosen by the power of the Demon King, she went berserk and attacked indiscriminately in all directions.
This state did not last long because of Lucy's weak body at the time, and she fell to the ground due to exhaustion.
The impact of that out-of-control runaway was huge, causing the Henryst family to lose more than half of their assets in an instant. It also left a huge rift valley fifty meters wide, six hundred meters deep, and tens of kilometers long on the land of the Demon Realm.
Since then, Lucy has locked herself in her room, and the power of the devil in her body has fallen into dormancy.
Lucy's father, Parvast, wanted her to master the power of the Demon King, but she refused because she was afraid that she would lose control again and cause harm to her loved ones.
Because of this incident, Pavast was very angry. In order to let Lucia master the power of the devil, he ordered Lucia to be placed under house arrest. She was not allowed to leave the room, and someone was sent to deliver her three meals a day.
Lucy didn't care about it at first. After all, she was secretly grieving over the fact that she lost control and hurt the demon.
Since Lucy was only an eight-year-old girl at that time, she couldn't bear the loneliness for a long time and wanted to go out to play. But every time she opened the door and took a few steps, a young man from the upper demon tribe in armor would grab her and take her back to the room.
The body shape of the upper demons is similar to that of humans, except that they have additional magic patterns on their backs and two long horns on their heads.
Regarding this matter, Pavast told Lucyka that as long as she could master the power of the Demon King, she could go anywhere she wanted.
After Lucy knew this condition, she stopped clamoring to go out and play. She would not touch the power of the devil because she was afraid.
After that, Lucia stayed in her room, day after day, year after year.
As time went by, Pavast rarely came to Lucy's room. After all, he had a lot of things to deal with and didn't have much time to take care of Lucy.
During this period, apart from doing daily necessities, Lucyka could only look at the outside world by the window or chat with the cold young man outside the door.
Rather than chatting, it was more like Lucy was complaining alone.
Lucia said so much, and the young man did say nothing. At least she knew his name. He was Avros, Lucia's only follower.
Avros had good talent, and at the age of 200, he had the magic power of the fifth level of Saint. He was forced to obey Pavast because his parents were in Pavast's hands.
So Avros didn't have a good impression of Lucia at the beginning. After all, Lucia was the daughter of Pavast.
But after spending a long time with Lucia, he found that Lucia was kind but also stupid, like a naive little princess, not like her father at all.
Only then did Avros open his mouth and say a few words to Lucia.
When Lucyka heard Avros speak, her first reaction was surprise, and then happiness. After all, she hadn't chatted with anyone other than Pavast for a long time.
Since then, Lucyka spent more time chatting with Avros, asking him all kinds of questions, such as what the outside world is like; can he teach her magic; isn't it heavy to carry a sword all the time...
Although Avros had some feelings towards Lucia, he seldom answered these questions, as Lucia was talking very enthusiastically anyway.
In this way, the two lived together for fifty-three years.
During this period, Lucy learned a lot from Avros, such as how to disguise herself, how to cast magic, and close combat skills...
Avros also completely let go of his grudges towards Lucia. He found that he quite liked this somewhat silly girl.
After that time together, an unexpected person came to Lucyka's room.
The man had white hair and blue eyes like Lucia, and one could tell at a glance that he was from the Henryst family. He was Lucia's brother, Kemosto.
Komosto is the second son of Pavast. He has the highest talent among all his children and is only one year older than Lucia.
The arrival of Kemosto has added a lot of fun to Lucy's life. Every time he comes, he brings Lucy all kinds of small toys or snacks. When Lucy sees these novel things, her face is filled with smiles and she is very happy.
When Kemosto saw Lucyka was happy, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Avros felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene, but he was not sure why he felt uncomfortable.
Since then, Avros has followed suit and brings various little things to Lucyka every day.
As time went by, Avros and Komosto gradually became familiar with each other. They would often spar with each other in the yard. Lucy would also quietly follow them out of the room at this time to breathe the fresh air outside.
Because the family gate was guarded by guards, Lucyka only stayed in the yard where Avros and Komosto were sparring and never left the family.
Pavast tacitly agreed to Komosto and Avros bringing Lucyka to the yard. After all, neither of them dared to disobey Pavast's orders.
