Chapter 28

Lots of courage.

Kalego: "A demon in the cycle of evil and maybe even brings disease!"

Balam: "Oh really? Interesting!"

Annabel: "Again... ."

So Kalego makes the gray pyramid appear and holding it in his hand, she waits for a confirmation from him that does not take long; in fact shortly after it lights up green and a beam of the same color points precisely at the demon who is immersed in his cycle of evil and comments:

"How I thought he is infected!"

Balam: "Did you understand it with that little pyramid and that beam of light?"

"Yes, and it's very useful for finding them even if they don't show up."

Balam: "Ooooh! Fascinating!"

"Little enthusiasm and let's get busy and without causing useless panic!"

The woman says nothing because she is so tired that she can't even reply.

So Kalego comes out first followed by Balam and then she saying again:

"Do not let yourself be touched or touched and you priestess, do nothing for now, just stay clear here?"

Balam: "What? Why? You are the only immune!"

"I know very well, but right now he's not in a position to do anything and then don't forget we have these!"

Pointing to the amulets around her neck, it will protect them.

The other: "Ok and it's true, we are protected."

Did she stay, because for the first time she told her to stay still and without insulting her, that perhaps the new situation has softened her a little? But he did it because he still sees her too tired and fears that she can do more damage than help them as she should and adds:

"And we hope that there are no other infected in the hotel!"

Thus he makes the black and inlaid crossbow appear, imbued with evil power and says to his companion:

"Think about pushing the victim away, but I think about him!"

The other one nods and then, the infected notices their presence and screams at them and is not changed, but has only the sharpest teeth, like claws, with bloodshot eyes and clothes are torn, but this it does not move the two demons who remain cold and then Balam with a spell makes roots appear, which quickly grab the victim and carry her away! Even if she then she was frightened by the presence of this by running away, where he only sighed and blocked with cobwebs, also covering her mouth.

Kalego: "You did well! She mustn't panic and we must check that she hasn't infected her!"

Annabel instead thinks that they were brutal, but they are not wrong and so she does not open her mouth and observes only marveling at the demon's powers, which control those of nature.

Next, the infected now tries a spell, which fails; in fact the amulets do their job admirably protecting them and breaking it like a shattered glass!

Kalego: "Tz pathetic!"

Then he points the crossbow and when he is about to fire the shot, the woman's hand grabs his arm saying:

"Don't kill him! Don't do it! In my opinion he is at the first symptom and he can still be saved!"

Kalego amazed and shocked by her intervention tells her:

"You! I know! But if we let him free that will create another outbreak and panic! There are no forces from the alliance here that can intervene! Release me!"

Then she hesitates first and then again:

"Then let me try ... ."

Him: "What?"

"Let me try ... I'll stop him, so don't kill him, just block him ... please Kalego, trust me."

Balam: "Not a bad idea, but hurry up because maybe he understood everything."

Kalego: "You are not in a position to use your blood!"

Annabel: "I appreciate your concern ... but I'll do it anyway, I'm here to help you, don't forget, even if I'm in trouble!"

So he first thinks about it, closes his eyes and then with a tug he frees himself from the woman's grip and then, aiming the crossbow again and firing shots, he manages to block that demon who was about to flee! In practice, he propped it up against the wall with his wings!

Her: "Thanks ... ."

Him: "Stupid that you are nothing else ... do what you have to and quickly! And if something goes wrong I won't hesitate again!"

She just beckons and with one arm raised and palm open, recites a spell that the two recognize as that of the temporary cure and then, green fire and hieroglyphics surround the sick, who now squirms and suffers and below the fire envelops him in everything, making those present be amazed by so much power and more Kalego that again and finally sees the Anubian race in action! That after twenty minutes, the fire is lowered to the floor is extinguished under the command of the woman and the sick person seems healed and she is tired I take a breath.

Balam: "Impressive! He healed him even from the cycle of evil!"

Kalego: "But only temporarily! Just long enough to call for reinforcements!"

Replica cold and impassive as always.

So after, he calls the principal Sullivan who immediately joins him and noting the situation, also hearing the two teachers, makes the decision to secretly call some demons who are dealing with these cases. He didn't scold anyone, not even the woman who is there now, as she was an emergency. Then doctors arrive from a portal and take the patient away by tying him to a cot; where they wear special overalls to avoid getting infected. After, they take care of the demon woman who was her victim, where they find that she is not infected but only very frightened, who after a potion calm her down and make her forget what happened. Others, on the other hand, undercover patrol the entire hotel, even Kalego and Balam join, but luckily for them, that was the only sick person. Annabel instead remained in the room and in fact when everything is over and the two demons return too and they see her sleeping but not in the bed, but on the sofa and Kalego:

"Why the hell doesn't he use the bed!" Putting his hand to his face, a sign that she disapproves.

"Maybe you are more comfortable here and then really something like that has tired you up to this point? Weren't they strong enough?"

Kalego: "Mph it's not for that ... now I'll tell you." And so he tells him the whole story of training with Kerefet, the grade eight priest, plus how the week went and what he saw in the mirror and his partner:

"Oooh ... now I understand everything, in fact it's a lot of exaggeration ... let her rest."

"I didn't mean to wake her."

Balam: "Since you got married you have become very thoughtful or am I wrong?"

She tells him to tease him and Kalego:

"I just want her not to shrink into a bunch of flesh and blood!"

"Oh yes of course, I see."

He adds the other with a smile and Kalego reciprocates with a grimace and a turn of the head, as if to say 'yes ok true I care about her, but I prefer not to say it directly.'

So below are given the latest provisions and the latest comments on the incident, in short, they must be more careful and cautious since by now, the illness has reached even unthinkable places like a hotel and then, greets him and leaves the room and he, first takes a shower and then wears pajamas given by the hotel itself. Dark magenta in color and made of an expensive fabric that is very soft to the touch. And everything is to his liking.

Then he eats something too, of what Balam has left on the tray and then bumps into the priestess who sleeps, with her arms crossed and below makes a purple blanket appear again that wraps her and finally, sighs just going to sleep in the super luxurious double canopy bed.

The next morning Kalego is already awake, also because he is used to getting up early and has sat next to Annabel who is still sleeping, more precisely her head is near his leg and while he has had breakfast brought and is drinking a moaning tea, he watches her.

And then he does something that he has never done, with his left hand he moves some tufts of hair that hide her face and then between her fingers he gently caresses them; and now he can feel that they are smooth and soft and then, he approaches them behind his ear. By now he has become very attached to her and perhaps he feels that feeling that in the benevolent world means, to love each other, so he really feels love for her, but that very deep and perhaps sincere, and now he is strengthened more than hands. He's wondering if she feels that way too, given the current marriage. He then he retracts his hand.

Annabel then wakes up and notices the situation and then slowly sits down and tells him:

"Good morning... in the end I was so tired that I fell asleep... ."

"Mph, like all the other times!" He says returning to his rigor, but she is still in pajamas, a sign that he is used to that she sees him outside the box.

He then notices that she is having difficulty moving her left arm and then asks:

" What's wrong?"

"I can't move it and it hurts everywhere... ."

"Of course, you stoned and this is the result as I told you, you were already in bad shape and it was better not to intervene!"

"Instead I had to is my duty ... ." And again he tries to move the limb but without success and then he, seeing this, first places the cup on the table in front of them, sighs and then puts a hand on the chest and one on the back of the woman who says:

"What ... what are you doing?"

"Mmm? What is it that you no longer trust me priestess? Let me do, that in these conditions you will not go far. So, take away the immunity to magic."

She hesitates for a few seconds, but then she proceeds because she now has some confidence with him and below; Kalego activates a healing spell, where it appears on the woman's body in the form of her seal, the labyrinth surrounded by the lunar cycle and where he also removes the bruises on her body and after ten minutes he concludes and adds:

"Don't think I'll always do it! I'm not your personal doctor! Try not to fall apart!" Referring to Kerefet, with his strange training.

She who controls herself with a smile and is fine, since the flaps on her head are also golden again:

" Yes sure, thanks... ."

And then: "Kalego, was there really no way out of the contract? Does it really suit you? Or is it just a scene you did with Iruma? I thought the problem was the bracelets ... but now things are become serious and in short, getting married like this, on the spot, is not romantic at all ... and my opinion hasn't even been asked ... "She says it in a very disheartened voice and while he looks at her he replies:

"Too many questions ... and romantic? What is marriage if not a contract between two people who endure each other for better or for worse? And what priestess? Did you not like my kisses, my attentions with gifts and especially the my company? "

She is now visibly embarrassed, because what she has listed is actually not at all displeasing and she has remembered that she sought his company first, after she lost her arm and still thinks that if at first she wanted to free herself of the infernal bond, now she is no longer convinced that she wants to separate from him and the other still:

"Your look says it all." He flaunts a small satisfied smile and then adds he returned serious :

"That contract is signed by rank nine and it was like an order to me, so no, I couldn't refuse and you fell for that brat's trap."

She look sad and he again:

"Now have your breakfast and then go back to the Sullivan house."

With this the conversation is closed for now and the woman, she eats something, some black bread with some strange purple jam. After she is done, she turns to Kalego's side and kisses him on the cheek of her and him:

"Seriously? I'm your husband now heck and are you giving me this poor greeting?"

She with shame: "Eeeem I'm not used to the other kiss .. the other time in fact I hesitated before giving it to you ... ."

And he sighs before her and then takes her face with her hands and kisses her on her lips always passionately and when he is done he adds:

"Then try to learn how to give it to me properly."

She just nods awkwardly and then she gets up and takes the golden pyramid and as she is about to press the tip, he adds:

"Annabel, do you want to stay at the Sullivan house again?"

She is a little surprised by this question, she replies:

"Actually, it is hard for me now to stay in her house, I feel too pressed and too watched, but I don't have a great choice ... for now."

With this she then she smiles at him, opens the portal, crosses it and he:

"Mmmm then it will mean that I really have to bring about a radical change."

Since she is now his wife, his wife and therefore she must be with him.

Then he gets dressed, fixes his hair and finally can return to his quarters, literally abandoning the brats and Opera on their streets and comrade Balam also returns to his accommodation. In short, he has finally finished doing the demositter.

But on the way back, he notices some hooded people that he immediately recognizes, it is the priestesses, together with the men of Azazel, who wear that particular suit, which dresses them from head to toe and notices that they are carrying away demons tied to a stretcher. .

Kalego: "Tz! I knew it! The situation is degenerating! It won't be long before the population will notice this, those stupid pieces they found won't hold up for long and there will be total chaos!"

Then with a brisk step he goes back to his base, where he too pricks himself with a thorn of brambles and cursing heals the wound and returns home; where entering his personal library he looks for something and as he reads it he says:

"But yes, I remembered it very well, it can work!"

Kalego is now more determined than ever to intervene, but first he has to solve another, more personal matter.

So after an hour, he presents himself in front of the house of nightmares, that of Sullivan and gathering all his mental strength and taking deep breaths, then rings the bell and lurks like an elegant noble, then back straight, arms behind it and serious and determined look.

When Opera goes to open the door, he says surprised:

" You here?"

And he even more determined:

"I would like to speak to Lord Sullivan about an important matter, please, can you tell him?"

These words cost him, but he had no choice.

Opera first stares at him for a few seconds and then replies:

"Take a seat, I'll see if he's free."

He cannot argue since it is a request made with a lot of education and respect, so afterwards he makes him enter the principal's office and arrives there after a few minutes saying:

"What can I do for you, Kalego? What is this thing you have to say to me impatiently? Isn't it for the updates on the disease? I know all of those ohohoho!"

Kalego in thought: "Yes, no, really everyone."

And then he replies:

"I'm here for my wife, Priestess Annabel."

Sullivan first looks at him bewildered and then:

"What are you babbling about? She's not your wife! Have you drunk or been on drugs?"

And the other in thought: "Drunk ... but if I can handle alcohol better than you and then drugged ... how dare you! Never used that stuff!"

And she always replies politely and as she brings up the parchment:

"According to the contract here, signed by you, great Sullivan, Annabel is now my wife and as a testimony there is our blood on it!"

The other takes it, reads it and turns blue, mumbling:

"But when the heck did I sign it?"

Then he thinks that the day before, his nephew brought him a similar document and exclaims:

"Oh... so it was this... ."

The other in thought and while he shows off a grimace:

"You ugly old man! He It means that you got ass fucked by your own nephew unconsciously! Damn irresponsible!"

And in the meantime Iruma also enters intrigued, who is still in his cycle of evil with Opera that was already there, and to hear he was stunned.

Sullivan rereading and seeing that he is not a fake, looks at him before him frowning and at him:

"I officially request the transfer of the priestess to my personal abode, so that I can fulfill my duties as a husband and a rank eight demon!"

And he said it with such pride that all those present remained there, because he who pronounces himself like this, have never seen him and Sullivan:

"I understand ... so ... ."

Kalego now expects a grooming, because the other has now understood who is the culprit who created the infernal bracelets and all that uncomfortable situation!

Then she approaches him and has a stern look, which makes Kalego swallow nervously; but then he shakes his hand and shakes it frantically saying:

"Congratulations old buddy! I wasn't hoping for it anymore hahaha!"

Shocked Kalego: "Huh ?!"

Sullivan: "You made it right under my nose you sly who are nothing else hahaha! I should punish you severely! But who cares, you got married and I'm so happy hohohoo!"

Kalego is always there when the headmaster acts that way, like a reckless idiot and therefore doesn't open his mouth.

Afterwards he calls Annabel from Opera, who immediately joins the conversation too, where Sullivan explains the situation to her and:

"Yes it's true, I have my copy." And she was left with all this, she just didn't expect it from her partner.

Sullivan: "Mmm well! But I should punish you both because you have hidden the story of the infernal bracelet that created many problems for the alliance!"

But she replies:

"For those it wasn't him ... when he signed the contract, they broke apart ... it was certainly another one, as well as the gifts, but now thankfully they are broken thanks to this marriage."

Kalego remained, he defended him with drawn sword and the headmaster looks at her and says:

"I understand .. .so it was another and they could be broken in the end. Kalego can you confirm what you said?"

Him: "Yes of course."

And after a minute of silence.

Sullivan: "Ohohoh and okay, okay! No punishment and I can't wait to tell everyone!"

And they together:

"Eeeeh ?!"

"How nice that two races that have waged war after centuries, have now united and even in a marriage! And then who would have thought that the most severe demon got married in the end!"

Then it is Annabel who speaks saying:

"Headmaster, please nobody must know ... especially the other priestesses, they will take my ranks away and kick me out of the temple and maybe even the planet!"

Kalego at those words does not know whether to rejoice or worry, if she does not help them anymore, they will be in big trouble! But if she gets out of that stupid bond, that's one less good thing for him and one less hassle to deal with.

Sullivan: "Mmmm if so it can also create problems with the alliance in fact ... okay I will not tell anyone! But sooner or later it will come out!"

Kalego: "Not even to colleagues at school, for now ... please big Sullivan."

The other who wrinkles his forehead and then again:

"Mmmmm and that's okay, nobody will know! But it's not fair! I wanted to tell the whole world!"

And then, as he pulls himself together with his arms behind his back, he announces:

"So I the great Sullivan, I give you permission Kalego Naberius to keep the priestess Annabel your consort in your abode, so that you can live a healthy marriage demo life together!"
