Getting back to their respective homes, Liam and Sedora also locked themselves in their respective chambers I'm the royal palace while keeping their thoughts to themselves. The Servants of the Royal palace knows best than anyone to keep their mouths shut like always and pray to the devil for help so they don't make any mistakes because making mistakes in times like this earns that servant the ticket to the after life. Anytime the royal couple return from the devil's grin with the same result as always, the already gloomy palace atmosphere becomes gloomier as if the angel of death himself is about to pay every single soul in the palace a special visit inviting them to a soiree for the dead. Even the head lady in waiting of the Queen knows better not to ask the right question at the wrong time, it is worth it if one keeps their head and tongue than loss it for asking the right question at the wrong time.
Everyone in the palace knows how the royal couple loves their son, sometimes they act like they don't care, speak to him like he is a stranger but what one should know is his deeply they love their only son and would never mind to wipe out the whole race of night creatures just to resurrect their beloved son. Their son is the devil himself, some folks say he si the devil's incarnate but whatever name one calls him they still lobe him. Sedora especially would anytime, any day and anywhere pick her son over her husband. It does not mean she do not love him but the love a mother has for her child can never be compared to any other love.
A whole twenty four hours has passed since they performed the sacrifice but the place of sacrifice remained the same, the little black smoke that was gradually mixing the red stayed the same with no improvement. The black smoke that appeared in the red was a sign that the awakening of the devil has seen improvement, the red smoke is suppose to turn black before the tomb will open.
"When are they coming?" Sedora asked Liam as they walked side by side in the corridor of the King's chambers from a royal summit. "I think in two days from now?" He answered back in doubt and this got Sedora boiling. "You think? So you are not even sure?... Really?" She asked him with a pitch of anger in her tone, she is annoyed at him for telling her such thing. "How many times should I tell you that we can't let anything go wrong because it will bring trouble? Humans coming to Salem is something that we should not take for granted and you know it." Sedora said with anger almost yelling at the top of her voice so that her husband will hear this time around. Apart from it being dangerous, it can also cause lots of problems and she didn't want that. Liam who seriously didn't want to argue with her as he knows she is a in bad mood because of their son just apologized so that they can just end it. "Am sorry honey next the I will be more vigilant so as to not repeat this mistake I have made today." But of course she was not buying it. "It always am sorry honey, it won't happen again but one thing you are forgetting is, sorry and honey is not enough."She said almost yelling it to his face. He has noticed that anytime they return from their son's tomb with the same result his wife becomes extra moody and gets angry at the slightest provocation from the poor palace maids and him, in fact at everyone and everything and he sure did not blame her because he understands her perfectly. He knows her being like that is as a result of her bottled up frustrations and pain, Sedora is a very strong woman who likes to keep her emotions in her control but knowing her for centuries he can tell with just a single glance how Mich everything is affecting her. " Hmm, Sedora am sorry at least let that be enough for now." He said calmly still trying hard not to lose his cool. "No! Liam its not can't you see?" She yelled this time making him angry. "You are acting like a child Dora a...." "I hate you Liam, so much." She said walking away to her separate chambers to be alone by herself as she didn't want to speak to her husband and make both of them any angrier. He lookes at her back as she leaves wanting so much to stop her but he thinks it will be best if he just let her be and reflect on everything because she is not the only one hurting and throwing tantrums at him like a five year old won't change their current situation. Walking away from the corridor he decided to also spend some time alone on his private chamber so that he can have enough room to think things through.
In the Blularin household, the Blularin couple were having a very heated argument about the incident that happened at the devil's grin it was so heated that it can shake the heavens. Derrick still do not understand why his silly wife spoke before the sun and the moon like that, she very well knows the consequences yet she chose to behave stupidly before them. "I have already apologized to them and also to you my husband i do not know why you so wish to make a mountain out of a molehill." She said elegantly raising her tea cup to her fine and thin likps. "Make a mountain out of a molehill?" He asked in disbelieve because he was furious beyond words, at Sonia's foolishness and ignorance. "Making such a mistake at nowhere but the liar of the devil? So help you God Sonia that you are still alive, you are lucky and should be thanking your stars that the sun was able to appease the moon else there is no telling that your head would have been rolling on the grounds of the guillotine as we speak at the moment." Derrick stated the harsh truth to his stupid wife who thinks she can compare herself to the moon of Salem. "The moon would always be the moon and we all know how the sun would never choose anyone else to be his Queen even if a dagger is being used to cit his throat open..... So you better think twice next time and not disgrace me like today else I would be the death of you dear wifey." He said threatenly before walking out on her so could reflect on her actions and repeat it again. Of course Sonia is no fool, she very well knows that her actions at the devil's grin is enough to get her a special thicket to the next life but she just can't control her hatred for Sedora. She has always disliked the Queen of Salem but of course just as her husband had mentioned the moon would always be the moon and her?, her servant and she hates that fact with all her guts. She just can not tell how exited she was a century ago when she heard about the devil's demise, at least there was something she could finally use to mock and torment Sedora but unfortunately for her that joy of hers was short lived thanks to the heavens who despise her so much and can't stand the thought of her being happy. While Glinda was busy mourning her I'll fate, Sonia and Michael were also busy discussing the recent happenings in Salem.
"What do you think about everything that's currently going on?" He asked his wife whom most of the time likes to keep to herself and not voice out her opinion unless asked to. "Something is not right somewhere." She says after some time alone in her thoughts. "Something like what?" He asked even though he had guessed almost half of everything but of course he wants to hear directly from her what she thinks about the current ongoings in the kingdom. "Hmmm... The royals... I think they're hiding something from us, there is something they are not telling us." She said with a serious face. She has for some time now suspected that the sun and moon has being hiding something from them concerning the comatose state of their son and prince. "Of course only a fool won't be able to notice that the royal couple are hiding something from us." He said thoughtfully. "I fear them." Sonia said as she felt a very cold and chilling shiver run down her spine. "Of course you should ... They are dangerous beings." "I'm just hoping they won't get too desperate to extent of sacrificing us and our kids." Sonia was really scared deep down her heart even though her expression gives nothing away, the look in Sedora's eyes was enough to tell them all that if need be they would all be turned into sacrificial lambs just for the devil's awakening. "I don't think it will get to that."Michael said taking her hand in his in the process to comfort and assure her that he will always be there for her. " But... Why do... Why do think so?" "Hmmm." Michael just let out a sigh, because what he is thinking about is something he is not one hundred percent sure about so he just for the mean time wants to keep it to himself. Besides he doesn't want to make his dear wife panic. If one is to take a proper and close look, they would notice that there is an emblem of a coven on the devil's tomb but it is easy to miss since its very faint. Well just like the others he use to think that enough sacrifice will one day open the devil's grin and awaken the devil lying in there but from the time he noticed the emblem, he got to know that the witches have a hand in it and that the current state of their crown prince is as a result of a curse but not any make believe story by the royals. That is how far he is able to guess but even with that he is still not certain for so many reasons he seriously don't want to think of. Sonia realising he do not want to talk about whatever he is thinking tried to change the direction of their conversation.
"When do you think the humans are going to come here?" "Probably two days from now." "Hmmm... I just hope everything goes on well." "I hope so to because it won't look good if everything does not go accordingly with our current situation." "The moon w_" "Mother can I please have a word with you?" Amber asked her mother as she sits besides her, she is dressed in a silk Alice blue over shoulder gown with a slit on her left side and flat golden pumps. "Of course honey, what do you want to talk about?" Turning to her left she ackownledge her father with a greeting before answering her mother's question. "Good day father... Just normal things a girl child would discuss with her mother." She said with a charming smile on her almost perfect face. "Alright dear, good day to you to." Sonia was calm on the outside but only the heavens know how much she is panicking on the inside, she knows her daughter is going to ask about the devil but she possibly can't run from her own daughter just because she wants to know about their crown prince. "Then i will excuse you ladies to yourselves." Michael said walking away from them.
In a not so far away land, the only child of a certain powerful couple laid on her majestic bed with her flaming red hair spread on top of the soft pillows supporting her delicate neck. She had already made it clear to everyone that she did not want to be disturbed by anyone until she says so not even her parents were allowed to disturb her quiet time. She laid on the bed with her eyes closed as if she is in a deep slumber but no she is very much awake but can not open or lift her eye lids, she is the maiden who has never seen the world with her own two eyes but knows more than those with their eyes open. She is clothed in a pure white Georgette dress with an opening on the left side that reveals her milky long legs straight up to her tormenting sexy thighs. Folks of the kingdom have never seen what she looks like, not even the nobles. Only her parents and her personal hand maiden knows what she looks like. Standing up from the bed as she was already tired of being in a single posture, she walked to a certain part in her large room a part she knows like the back of her hand to see how things were going with her new formular. Getting there, she opened the glass door and entered her favourite place.
Back in the royal palace of Salem, Sedora was so busy transferring her anger unto the poor and helpless maids. "I warned everyone of you to be extra careful... But it seems some poor people like you just do not learn." She said furiously glaring at the palace maids who have their heads bowed almost touching the cold floor with their foreheads out of respect and fear. Liam walk to where she is standing to appease her because he knows allowing her to continue like this would only result in the deaths of the innocent palace maids. "Darling ... Can I please have a word with you?" She glared at him because she was well aware of what he is trying to do. They were not even on talking terms because of what happened six days ago, him calling her a kid really did piss her off. Liam did not want to tell her she was wrong before the lowly palace maids because he very much knows how much she detests that. Sedora sent a final glare at the already shivering maids before walking ahead of her husband_ "What do you want?" She asked him a very cold voice not making any effort to hide the fact she is displeased at his interruption. "Can we at least go and talk in my study?" He calmly requested of her, love and affection dripping from his voice like honey not minding her cold voice and demeanour one bit since he is long accustomed to it. Hey but do not forget that that voice belongs to only his beloved wife and barley reaches His own son. "What's wrong in talking right here?_ She asked crossing her hands on her bossom_ Besides I'm headed towards the Queen's palace so you can tag along if you so desire to." She said shrugging her shoulders to show that she didn't mind him taging along cause she was so not having a conversation there. Not caring to hear his response, she just walked pass him heading towards her Chamber, all he can do is to just tag along like she has suggested. Getting to her palace, she elegantly sits on her bed before sending all the maids out for some privacy. Turning to him she said_ "Please make it quick your majesty." Sitting besides her he gathered her hands in his as he apologized in a very calm voice. Looking at him being like that, Sedora didn't know if she should just forgive him or punish him some more.
