The Demon's Bride

Chapter 323: Show Your Nature-III

"Rather than keeping me waiting. Tell me, why the hurry to call me now when I am still resting?" asked the crow with golden eyes, flying next to Redrick who had moved to the entrance of the Church, standing in the middle of the white staircase. He didn't replied and his lips were set in a thin line.

"It's Elise," the priest said placing his teeth in a gritted way. "She is going to marry a Demon, and more so it's a high Demon!" Redrick revealed, his frown deepened as he can't accept the idea of marriage.

"A Demon you say?" the crow went silent. He took a thought to himself, remembering that the place where Elise currently live was at was a castle owned by a high Demon. "That Demon?" the crow whispered.

"You know him, Levi?" demanded Redrick upon seeing that the crow seemed to have gotten a hold of an idea. "Why didn't you tell me this?"

"I thought I did," answered Leviathan and he brought his hand under his head, confused at how this was happening. "Strange Demons should not be able to come near her. I have made sure that would be the case. I thought she only worked there as a maid from what I have gathered."

"Well, they then fell in love!" Redrick sighed, pressing his head. He appeared no less stressed and surprised as Leviathan was. "This cannot happen. This marriage and the idea of them being together is just wrong. Heavens and Hell, they have defied everything! If Lucifer learn of this..." drawled Redrick to see Leviathan's eyes flickered between golden and deep red.

Lucifer's name had been a trigger to Leviathan. There was a deep hatred that still rooted very deeply inside him which had never exhausted even after a thousand more years have passed. The fresh dewy leaves on the tree where the crow rested suddenly turned gray as the anger the demon held resonated with the leaves. Within seconds, the leaves had combusted into ashes, scattering away before they could reach the ground.

"What happened with you then?" Leviathan inquired after a while when he had steadied his temperament. It was something that come from his blood to let his power run amok if he wasn't careful with the strong emotions that surge inside him. The crow noticed something had happened the moment Redrick called him to the Church. "You look full of guilt. It's a delicious emotion to see but it doesn't suit you."

"Don't tell me about it, I almost had Elise to drink Uriel's holy water," the priest pressed his forehead in a deep guilt.

Leviathan frowned but chastising Redrick won't get him anywhere and it seemed that he had enough of guilt in him, "Did she drink it then?"

"The Demon drank it," replied Redrick with a faint spite under his voice. "Do you know him, that Demon? I haven't seen him before. He didn't seem like a very important person and yet the power inside him was enormous."

"I don't remember ever seeing him in Hell either," answered Levi, still weaving something like a plan in his mind. "But then I have been absent from Hell for more than nine hundred years. I won't know who he is if he comes after. How strong he was, stronger than me?"

Redrick looked at the crow, "Maybe he is on par with Lucifer himself. There is something wrong with him and I can't point my finger in it. It must be something about his blood."

"But he drank the holy water for Elise. He seemed like a proper groom for her to my ears. Elise needs someone who could protect her even if it costs his own life," the crow said for Redrick's eyes to snap at him.

At this point, the priest's eyes had turned completely golden and his brown hair lose its color, causing it to turn fainter in the color of a light golden, "Don't even joke about it Levi," warned Redrick, a dangerous glint appeared on his eyes. "We both know this, don't we? That if the limelight is set to Elise, her life would be in terrible danger. Marrying a human should have been enough for her. As much it pained both of us to say this, we both know that she is someone who should never exist in this world. Protecting her until now had taken you many things; unless we want to wage war between Hell and Heaven she better not marry that Demon."

"I know, I was just stating the fact, I am not considering it yet," Leviathan hummed deeply, the pair of large golden eyes shifted at Redrick whose eyes had turned to a more humane color.

Redrick noticed the way Levi's expression seemed had formed a plan, "Do you have an idea to separate them?" asked Redrick.

"I have two in mind," the crow pulled up his wings only to remember he doesn't have fingers to use and fold back his wings, "Separate them nicely or kill the Demon."

"That doesn't sound much like a plan."

"Better than nothing. It's clear and it gives you the idea what to do. I only have a few more days left to regain my body. Inform me if you know the date of their marriage and I will come with a proper plan soon."

Redrick watch the snow falling from the stem of the tree, "Will it be safe for you to take over your body so soon?"

"It should," the crow looked as if it gave Redrick a smirk but with his muscle not moving properly the smile only curve the corner of his eyes. "You prone to become tunnel-sighted when you are in anger, Camael. Being an Angel of anger suits you but no repeating of what you do to Elise again. Even if it's you, feeding Elise with holy water is something I will never condone. I'll see you in my body next time. Bye-" and in an instance the crow disappeared, leaving only snowflakes to fly as the crow left the tree branch.

Redrick stared at the place where Leviathan was once there. With a frown he turned away, leaving the place without knowing there had been another crow watching them from afar, hearing each words that Leviathan and Redrick shared.
