The little girl peeked through the crack in the door and saw her father sitting on his throne. He was speaking to a servant. "-member to feed the hounds. "
After noticing her presence, her father dismissed the servant and beckoned her forward. His gaze did not change and was still as if he was looking at one of his servants. He asked, "Melissa, why are you here? "
"W-Well, I wanted to go to the city. " She replied nervously.
"No. It's dangerous out there. " He replied.
"B-But why can't I go when other kids can? "
"You are different. It would be dangerous to go. "
"Why am I different? Can't I be like other kids? " She shouted and ran off.
The man sat there and said to himself, "Well, look what your daughter has become. You must be getting feeble. "
The demon lord sighed. His daughter was only eleven and didn't even know her true self yet. He went out to the garden and decided on what flowers to pick the day after to apologize to her. If only he wasn't Melissa's father, she probably could have led a normal life.
Meanwhile, Melissa was desperately packing her backpack with some cash and necessities. When night fell, she got her backpack and ran off. The guards tried to stop her, but she darted past them. At some point, she got tired and decided to rest on a patch of grass. It was a peaceful night with the sound and feel of nature around her. Her stomach growled, but she forced herself to go to sleep.
"You seem lost. " Melissa heard someone say.
It was an old lady. Melissa apologized and immediately started to run. She wanted to go to the city, that was all. She stopped when she heard a growl nearby. There were several black wolves snarling at her.
She took a step back and accidentally tripped over a branch. She got up again and started to run while the wolves chased her. She really wanted to go home then, forget the city, forget everything, her home was safest. With tears in her eyes, she ran and accidentally tripped again.
She started to pass out from fear, but she managed to see a vague figure with a blade and black liquids on his shirt. He asked, "You still alive? Hey, don't pass out on me. Gash now I have to take you there. "
