I Was Born With A Demon Lord Inside Of Me, Who Wants To Kill

Chapter 28: Rumors

Torches lighted up the place. Slippery stairs were going down. Whitebolt got to the bottom level. It was a big room full with scrolls and weapons. It was a t*****e room. He laid the boy down on the cold floor. He took a scroll and wrapped up chains with it. Silver chains started to glow golden. He put it on the boys legs and arms, making him unable to move.

-I'm sorry boy if you are innocent, but I have no other choice.

He got back up. It was a luxurious house. He went to the dining room, where maids laid the long table with exotic food. They grew concerned.

-Whitebolt-sama, where is the boy?

-I've left him in my room, he's fine. Don't check on him. – He glanced at the maids.

-Your words are our law, Whitebolt-sama. – They left.

Whitebolt wanted to respect Daichi and not tell anyone about Rekkas identity.

The next day, He checked on Rekka. He was still asleep with his injuries, except the broken bones, all healed.

-Normal human can't heal this fast. Heh, maybe Daichi was right.

Whitebolt put on his clothes and went out in the city. There were tall buildings with shops. Kids were running and playing. He walked in the local park and sat down on a bench. He was enjoying the cold breeze. Two middle-aged woman walked by him.

-Did you hear about the night forest incident?

-The one where...

He didn't hear the last part. He got worried and went to the adventurers guild with a disguise. It was a huge place, filled with adventurers. Some were drinking, some were gambling, others searched and took quests. Whitebolt overheard people talking about the incident. He sat down close to them.

-Where do you think the demon is? – One asked.

-There are rumors that Whitebolt took him when he defeated him.

-I don't believe that, for what does Whitebolt need such a powerful creature?

-Maybe as a pet?

They laughed and one of them slapped his back.

-I wonder where he is right now.

Whitebolt quickly got out of there.

-How did they know that? Who betrayed me? – He thought and got a bit angry - I told them to not tell anyone about the incident.

As he was walking, he accidentally stumbled upon his maid shopping.

-Whitebolt-sama, what brings you here? – She started sweating and twitching his leg.

Whitebolt noticed.

-Let's cut the play, you heard about the rumors, right?

Maid got relieved a bit, but got nervous when he told him about the rumors being true.

-Yes, Whitebolt-sama, we can continue this subject after I continue shopping.

-Come at the mansion immediately after. – Whitebolt walked back to the mansion with fast steps.

When he returned, he checked Rekka again. It was the same. After a while, the maid returned. Whitebolt called all of them.

-A have gathered you all for a purpose. – He started – Most of you has already heard about the rumors of me bringing back a demon.

-That can't be true! – Said one maid.

-It is, on the most part.

He explained to them what happened.

-Poor child!

-What if he wakes up and burns us all? – Some maids got scared

-Don't worry, I have it under control. Trust me, I won't let any one of you get hurt.

-Whitebolt-sama! – One started to tear up.

Whitebolt walked them down to the basement and let them see Rekka.

-Poor boy!

-Don't tell anyone about him, I trust you people. – Said Whitebolt.

They all returned to doing their chores. 

Some people approached the gates. One maid noticed them and walked over. She was shocked  after seeing an elite guard.
