Is it wrong to be the demon king?: Attributions and Betrayal

1088 Words
So then we arrived at the kingdom, and it seems that my classmates and my teachers just noticed about the guys that brought us here. So then my teacher took the initiative to ask "pardon, are you guys elves?" the king then answered "indeed you guys did not came from the underground. In fact the country that you came from is unfamiliar to us, what was it called again? Earth?" I believe the king have misunderstood what I said earlier, but the question of my teacher wasn't answered though. I can see that there are so many stares around us that emits hatred, do they hate humans? The king then said something that none of us can't comprehend and said something about his dreams on the past few months, he considered us as the heroes that will help both humans and elves rise from all of the races. My teacher can't understand what is going on and she just can't believe that we are actually talking to mythical creatures. If that good for nothing best friend of mine was just here he would burst out of nerdiness. The king told us about the origins, and about the races and their situation. Said that their race and as well as the humans are both in grave danger, he said that in his dreams he saw heroes standing beside them above all races. He thinks that those heroes are us. He then said that first I must confirm something. There is a sorter here in the castle which determines mana and attributes of one. If you guys did not came from the underground, there's a big possibility that you're the heroes that my dreams were showing. Come and follow me. The king then lead us to the third floor of the castle. There was a strange looking orb and it is glowing. Unbelievably all of us didn't have any reaction to it, it seemed like all of us have known that this would happen. After all the explanation it seems that my classmates and my teacher gained the understanding and believed what is happening right in front of us. The king then called us one by one, he said that "place your hand above the sorter and it shall tell us what power you posses". The first person who was called was Mr. Rafael Ella's brother. The orb really did responded and showed letters that wasn't in our alphabet. The king was shocked about the result and said "you, you have the affinity of the flames" he said that the one who wields has the ability to be the leader. A lot witnessed the results and were all astonished and even the warriors and scouts developed respects for Rafael, then the next one was Ella. Ella placed her right hand and discovered that she has the affinity of the wind. Next was our teacher, has the affinity of the wind also. Then so on and so forth. I was the last one that was called out, the king whispered to me that among all of us I he sense the weakest mana with me and that's why he called me for the last. As I placed my right hand above the orb, it did not respond. Everyone inside the room was looking and seemed confused on what just happened. They said that even those humans who live underground made the orb respond how come that there's a creature like me. Man that hurts. Again I tried placing my hand above the orb, I was struggling when I know I shouldn't I'm not responsible for this, I mean why should I even be obligated to. I tried over and over again until the king has asked me to stop. Then in a near distant I heard someone said "pathetic, he even tried to act cool". Damn why are these guys thinking that way, did they already accepted the responsibility for this. I mean why? It is not our obligation to be strong and powerful for them. Then it struck me, it was always like this, I always get left out by everyone except for one. I guess I really am pathetic. Later that night the king ordered to have a celebration for the heroes. I stayed in my room and didn't show up. I just tried to sleep despite all the noise outside. Suddenly I heard an activity outside, I doubted it since everyone except me is at the celebration. So I crawl silently towards the door and tried to listen to the other side. However, their speaking a different language so I couldn't understand but suddenly a slicing sound of flesh, its like someone is being murdered outside my room. I took the initiative and take a look on what's going on outside. ... ... ... I shouted out of my shock on what I witnessed. It was the king of elves lying on the ground with a sword deep in his chest. I tried to do what I can but, guards busted their way in and pointed their arrows and sword at me. "Murderer! You murdered the king!" I tried to explain but then they interrupted, I couldn't speak a word. I realized that the commotion outside was not because of the celebration, but it was because the king went missing. Unknowingly I was holding the sword that was in the chest of the king. Am I being framed here? I can't explain myself what kind of justice is this. On that night I was brought to a cell underground, I really hoped that my teacher would defend me but then the moment all of them see me inside the cell, they all looked at me like I'm a criminal, they all looked disgusted, and then my teacher said "boy why did you do that?Are you that pathetic? You killed the king just because he exposed you do not have power? How disappointing". I said no teach this is a misunderstanding, then Ella walked closer to the cell and said the most unexpected thing "what a trash, to think that you really dared to have a liking to me?" Then she turned away with a look in her eyes that pierced through my heart to the point that I just cried out of pain. I cried "why, why won't you guys believe me, it wasn't my fault." Then again I really could not speak for my self I just sounded more and more pathetic. Then later that morning... ... ... ... TO BE CONTINUED...
