"Yes, I understand but..."
"I told you once, didn't I?" Blitz said as he looked at the crystal on his desk. "We are not bodyguards, last time everything went wrong Stolas"
Almost a year since he possessed that crystal, and he still looked at it with hatred and pain.It was the symbol that it had only been a toy.
Stolas on the other end of the phone squeezed his elegant dark cloak.
"Blitz, I swear I wouldn't ask you if it wasn't... important, but I know Stella is going to be there and..."
"I'm very busy, you know?"
It was all a lie, Blitz had given his employees the day off, he knew about the event Stolas was going to go to. I knew they were going to broadcast it on television, But I didn't want Stolas to know I was going to see him.
That whole year she had no contact with him, she limited herself to looking at his photos and the newspapers. Perhaps what had hurt him the most was seeing the owl kiss another bird and that photo being on the front page.
He kissed him even better than that rich idiot. He had touched those feathers and made them ruffle. He had scratched the face of the winged idiot Stolas and surprisingly, like a young woman in love, had put hearts around Stolas. He never told anyone.
"I'm sorry but I can not"
""I...I understand, in that case I will tell the palace security" Stolas said as the hand holding his phone shook.
Stolas had not told anyone, but Stella and her brother kept trying to erase her existence. He didn't mind dying, at least not if his daughter wasn't with him.
Octavia had given him all the support she could, she had realized how cruel her mother was to her father.
He had heard it at his uncle's house, how much his mother enjoyed humiliating his father, hitting him until the prince looked down.
Stolas was afraid to leave his daughter alone. He would never force her to marry but, if he died, her decisions would be Stella.
"Okay" Blitz said before hanging up.
Stolas cried, he did it at least twice a month and without his pills, once a week. He blamed himself for everything, he just wanted Blitz to be free but the imp had taken it as a way of disrespecting him.
He had heard that royal demons had come to him.And of course, there were rumors of some couple or another that Blitz had. Millie and Moxxie had become very attached to the prince.
The next morning Stolas was readying the buttons of his suit. He looked in the mirror and sighed.
"Your highness, they are waiting for you in the car."
He didn't say anything, he just smiled at the imp.
"Dad, are you sure about this?"
"Of course my little star, you...your grandfather wants all the members of the Goetia family to be there."
"But mom..."
"Everything will be fine" Stolas said to hug his daughter.
At the event many members of the royal family had given their point of view. And Stolas certainly could not pay attention.
"Stols, are you okay?"
The owl snapped out of his trance to look at Asmodeus. The sin of lust and he had become good friends since he helped him with Fizz.
"Yeah...I'm fine"
"Now we give the floor to Prince Stolas."
"I need space damn!!" The reporter said "We can well see that Prince Stolas takes the podium, Let us remember that Prince Stolas divorced Duchess Stella a year and a half ago. And a year ago we offered you the note about your alleged partner, What does the prince have to say about this year's extermination?"
Blitz had pressed the remote control hard, Loona next to him looked at him worried.
"It is not possible to combat or avoid extermination but..."
The camera focused on the bird, it looked majestic. Blitz couldn't stop looking at it, That is until the reporter's dog decided to speak and the camera focused on her.
"Well, let's wait until Prince Stolas has something that can solve this...
One
"Oh my Satan!"
Screams throughout the room.
Two
"That's a fucking angelic weapon Jonny, focus the damn camera!!!"
Everything was blurry, his heart stopped...or so he thought.
Three
Shots, precise and loud. Screams, noise and more gunshots.Blitz had become detached from reality.
"focus the damn camera!! For Satan..."
The image showed the owl holding onto the podium.His hand covered one of two holes in his belly...he bled...and a lot. Stolas looked at the camera and Blitz felt for a second that it was looking at him.
"No...no please" Blitz said.
"His Highness Prince Stolas was shot. The demon that did it was subdued but..." The reporter said.
"can your highness hear us? Bring the damn doctor!!" said a guard
Asmodeus was on the scene, he had burned the imp who shot alive.
Blitz was on the floor, the remote control smashed in his hand.
"It's a dream..."
"Dad... calm down"
"Stolas..."
He didn't know when he was driving at full speed through the city. Nor did he know how he had arrived so quickly at the meeting of all the royalty of hell. Just as he did not know when he shot one of the guards to get through.
Blitz didn't know it, but the camera of the reporter he was watching had focused on him as soon as he arrived.
"Stols...no no no"
"Blitz..."He heard the voice of Asmodeus.
"Blitz you have to let go" said Fizz as he took his friend's shoulder
"Stolas please...no...it wasn't really, I'll take care of you, okay?" The imp said as he grabbed the prince's face and kissed him in front of all the fucking hell.
"Are you focusing on this Jonny!? Damn it's a gold mine!" The reporter said.
Blitz couldn't hear, he could only feel the prince's cold feathers in his hands.
"Blitz.."
"I ask me, Fizz. He told me that I could take care of him today but...I...I was so angry and I..."
Millie and Moxxie had reached the foot of the podium. Millie cried into Moxxie's shoulder.
"Blitz, sir... you have to let go of the prince"
"I can't, he...no, I won't leave him" she said while clinging to the prince's body.
He was hugging him tightly, at his side Asmodeus and Belzebuth sent Stolas's family to fuck.
"Please pretty bird, you have to wake up...Yes I know I should have done more than I should have listened to you and..."
Fizz had hugged his friend, the doctor next to the prince had covered the body. If only...
