All Chapters of Protected by the Devil: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"It is still a very selfish thought," I said, raising my eyes to see the gargoyles destroyed in front of each pillar of the castle. In addition to being hateful dogs, they were all already with half their heads lying on the ground, their mouths wide open and broken. It was hard to find an entire wall in there. Even the stairs looked like missing steps. The chandeliers with few lit candles, also broken. The place seemed to be in pieces. Patched. "To think that all you should do with your life is to disturb humans.”"And would you prefer me to lie to your majesty?”"I prefer to believe that you are not involved in the rumors of demons that are escaping to possess demons on earth.”When he didn't answer, and the only sound was of small pebbles sliding through the ruined walls of his castle, I turned my eyes towards him. Tennebris sustained my gaze, and a small emotionless smile filled his mouth."And how could I be involved in these rumors if I live only with the company of human souls t

A real jungle, with the sound of crawling animals, and a song that for a moment I thought belonged to birds, but then I found out that they came from some small and one-eyed creatures, who climbed trees as easily as monkeys."Don't be drooling," he mumbled hatefully Tennebris, cutting off my fascination. "Behind the covers, everything is on fire.”"I like what I see over the cloths," I retortured with a grunt, still observing the smell of the environment that perfectly imitated the vegetation of a forest."Do they have any fruits? "Said Faye, putting one hand on his forehead. "I feel like I'm going to faint from hunger.”"I carry you," offered Vraxlon, cordially, taking Faye's little body in his arms.Tennebris pretended not to pay attention to any of them. However, as he walked in front, next to me, from time to time I could see the look from the corner of his eyes that he threw back, usually when I heard Faye laugh or Vraxlon say some dirty joke. Despite everything, he did not apolo

It was something very embarrassing to see, but I would feel much better about being pampered like that than being leaning against a wall, with leaves of climbing plants rubbing against my back. The lack of music only increased the embarrassment. A party without music, with a lot of food and drinks, but with apathetic and distracted people. I missed the agitation in Octavius' territory.My chest tightened a little when I thought of him. In the way we had said goodbye, "which was without any farewell. I don't think I should have excluded him from all my plans. I would have felt terrible if it was used the way I used it over the centuries, filling it with empty promises, because somehow I already knew how it all ended.Vraxlon and I looked at each other and looked away. For the first time I didn't know very well how to start a conversation. And my palms were sweating as if I were in an oven. It must not have been more than a few seconds, even so, it seemed like a silence that there would

Vraxlon observed when Tennebris and Faye began to dance a song that she herself sang in an ethereal and rhythmic voice, with the rain surrounding them and finding it funny the sudden approach of those who hated each other so much."None of us chose to be stuck there," Vraxlon contested. "But we chose to follow a leader who did not settle for injustice and betrayal. We always knew that Lucifer was never the bad guy, and that's why we paid with exile, for believing in him.”"I swear I would understand the others who are possessing humans... If they were doing it because of it "I indicated Faye and Tennebris, laughing with each other. Laughing like children, like humans, like people who have nothing and are happy to have the least. "For wanting to feel everything that was taken from them. Knowing that they would never be able to step on the human world in its demonic form. I would understand if it were to feel the rain, the change in temperature, or simply to observe the world with diffe

"Dear God, I don't know if you have been warned, but your name is in several quotes in this book. We, the crazy humans, write, and all the people you made in your image continue to believe that this garbage is real "he recited in a melancholic and soft tone, looking down, focused on the fingers that played the guitar. "Well, I know that nothing in the holy book is true, and so are you, dear God. So, I must say, I don't believe in you, God.”Vraxlon watched the singer carefully. He heard the lyrics while the melody played by the guitar sounded aggressively, contrasting the softness in the man's voice. It was a song made of contradictions, an open letter addressed to God, even if man said several times in his verses that he did not believe that God could hear him."Nowaday the more blasphemy, the more they think they will gain easy fame," grumbled a woman as she passed by us, holding the bag firmly under her arm. "You're not going to get anywhere like that, young man.”The singer did no
