The King of Faries is now a Demon Lord-Chapter 49 Father and Daughter

49 Father and Daughter

Vaani was nervous. Rael had not spoken a word since he sat beside her. To break the atmosphere, she decided to speak up, but how should she start the conversation?

'Hey, dad! Long time no see!! No this is kinda cringing, Hi pops, what a coincidence that we met hahaha... No! This will seem suspicious, ugh think Vaani think!!'

"Yo, daddy!"

Vaani lowered her down, cursing herself in her mind for saying something so stupid, she knew that she had messed up the first greeting.

She was a bit too casual, not something you say to someone you meet after two million years.

Rael looked at her, utterly gobsmacked. He really didn't know how to reply back.

Who was this girl who was calling him daddy?

The only one who called him that was his little princess.

Rael looked at her with confusion. He crept closer to her face, just a kiss away from her lips, he peered into her beautiful silver eyes.

She looks familiar...

"Uh... dad, you are too close."

He immediately broke out of his stupor as his eyes widened. The realization was striking in.

Her voice is similar, her face...

Rael then spoke with a hesitant expression,

"I am in a dark room..."

She quickly replied, "Everything is black."

"I turn to find the door..." Rael replied.

"But there is none," Vaani spoke with a flicker in her eyes.

"From the wall comes a sliver of daylight..." He spoke with a faint smile.

Vaani also smiled back as tears welled up,

"And I realize there is a chance of escape."

"I feel the wall and discover..." Rael felt hurt as he saw her smile, his princess had endured a lot these 2 million years when he was not by her side, he could see all her pain, his princess was all grown up.

"There is a door, but it is stuck." Vaani deduced what he was thinking and didn't want him to feel guilty, they were both conveying their feelings through a poem that they were making on the spot.

"There is a key on the floor." He smiled. This time it was filled with warmth.

"Kiss the key, open the door, on the other side is my love." Tears flowed from her eyes, this was a way of her confessing her forbidden love for him.

"I thought your love would be in the dark room." He said in a low voice. He had long ago noticed the little girl's feelings towards him, he wasn't dense.

"It was, you set me free." She smiled with a smile full of pain and loneliness.

There were many meanings behind those words, his death which forced her into maturing and growing up, then her love for him, after his death she realized that she should have confessed earlier, at least she would have got an answer even if it was denial.

In a way, he set her free; she left her comfort space and learned from her mistakes, she even left her safe haven.

She could have married the new king and led a life of luxury but she didn't and instead roamed the world outside the subspace.

Her love for him became her inspiration as she embedded it into everything she did.

Her admiration turned into devotion as she spread his legends in the Celestial Realm, forcing faith into them.

Her love for him became her protection and inner peace.

She loved him like how the skies love the birds with open hands, granting them infinite freedom.

Rael's expression crumpled as if someone had painted his face white. His eyes got heavy. The more he looked at the woman in front of him, the heavier they got.

"I-Is that you? Little princess?"

His voice cracked, and tears welled up in his eyes and flowed down from them. It was his daughter, the apple of his eye.

She seemed mature and independent now, just like how he wanted her to be.

He felt extremely proud of her.

She nodded. Tears welled up in her eyes as well.

Both of them hugged each other tightly, not letting any one of them get out of their embrace.

"You know it is fine if you cry, you have endured a lot so... let it all out."

"B-but-"

"It's fine princess, I am here now."

She dug into his chest, and tears flowed like a river, never stopping. Her body excluded a different kind of warmth, one that gave comfort.

Rael's entire banyan became wet as she cried her eyes out, he smiled faintly, a father never cries in front of his children.

He patted her back lightly as he whispered into her ears repeatedly.

"It's okay I am here now."

She didn't move at all and the two of them simply stayed in the same position, the clouds parted once again as the rays of the moon fell upon them.

It was like as if it was also smiling, the stars watched the two quietly as the father kissed his princess's forehead.

She pouted when Rael did that, "I am no longer a kid."

Rael stifled a chuckle, "In my eyes, you are still my little princess."

Her eyes became red again as she felt disappointed, was he rejecting her?

However, she couldn't show Rael her sad expression so she started crying in his chest again.

Rael smiled wryly as he continued to pat her, she has cried a lot, all her worries, pain, loneliness, everything came out as she cried.

For the first time since his death, she had cried.

After two whole million years, she finally felt all her emotions return to normal and all her negativity disappear.

"I have so many things that I want to tell you." She smiled warmly as her tears started to come out.

"Alright princess, hold your horses I am not going anywhere, you have all eternity to tell me."

She pouted a bit, "You died because of your narcissism and you think that I will believe you."

Rael chuckled nervously, she had a point there.

"I am no longer as narcissistic as before."

She raised her eyebrows unimpressed.

"I guess you are not as obsessive with yourself as before."

He smiled wryly, "I also want to tell you many things, I have some ideas on how to exterminate the entire human species."

"Really? Why this hate against them? You didn't have that before."

Rael didn't dare to look at her in her eyes, he wouldn't tell her that in his second life he was reincarnated as a human.

"They are very depraved species, many humans love futanari and lust after lolitas."

She looked at him slack-jawed, futa... seriously? Yaoi is better.

She started to imagine Rael in a yaoi doujin and started to giggle creepily.

"Alright, we shall erase all the humans, celestial or lower world?"

"Why not both? I need souls for divinity anyway, at least we will be able to kill futa lovers." Rael wiggled his eyebrows.

She nodded saintlily and started to laugh like a maniac, something she inherited from Rael.

"Higigigigihihihihahahaha."

Rael seeing her laugh got a sadistic smirk etched upon his visage as he also started to laugh.

"Higigigigihihihihjhajajahajahaha."

Slowly her eyes started to get heavy as she started to feel sleepy.

Her father's arms were very warm and gave out a comforting feeling that made her want to sleep right into it.

She was already pretty exhausted due to the crying and all the planning which had overwhelmed her, slowly but quickly her eyes started to close.

"Papa..."

Rael tilted his head, looking right into his daughter's silver eyes.

"I am glad you are alive, I missed you a lot."

Rael grasped her tightly in her arms and kissed her on the forehead.

He was surprised to see how his daughter who hated saying corny stuff behave like this.

As he looked at her sleeping face, he couldn't help but recall how she would sleep in his arms when she was a kid.

"I missed you too my little princess."
