The King of Faries is now a Demon Lord

50  A Cup of Coffee

The next morning.

Rael was sitting in the living room of his suite in the nearby hotel, since he had traveled around all the hotels in the vicinity multiple times, he had become quite a reputable customer although they disdained him, their job was to earn money.

So it was nothing new seeing him in the hotel, when the staff saw him, they greeted him like usual and continued bootlicking him like always, he was one of their most common customers.

Rael cheerfully poured himself a cup of tea that he had been preparing for since the day he awakened his memories.

Skillfully, he used one hand to carefully maneuver the teacup in the air, using his left hand.

The teacup was a posh porcelain ceramic, the sort of look that spoke of a relaxing soulfulness.

It was heaven to touch.

Rael always thought such humble beauty invited the thoughts to go deep and reach high all at once.

Even the cup that you drink tea in defines your elegance.

Although Rael personally liked coffee more due to his second life, he knew just how much Vaani liked drinking tea, since he was the one who made her addicted to it.

Slowly he poured the liquid into the mug, it blended perfectly as it settled down inside.

Suddenly a voice interrupted him as he started to set up the table.

"I can watch you pouring tea all day long and never get tired of it for all my life."

Rael tilted his head and smiled warmly a genuine smile.

"Good Morning little princess."

She pouted a bit but she didn't deny still being called little princess, it was a term only for her after all.

"Morning daddy."

Rael nodded as he arranged the table to seem like one in a tea party, he had even ordered some cakes and deserts as last-minute room service.

After setting everything up, he guided his princess towards her chair as he sat across her swiftly.

With a flick of his hand, the tea mug started to pour tea for the two of them like as if there really was a butler.

After the tea was poured into their respective cups, Rael sighed a bit.

What was the point of having a maid if she was not there to serve you, he felt regretful for leaving her behind.

"Next time I will introduce you to my personal maid." He spoke nonchalantly.

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

She looked at him with a stupid expression, 'A personal maid... why does he want me to meet her?! She is a threat!!!'

"What happened is something wrong? Your face is a bit pale." Rael asked with worry.

She looked at him with big teary eyes, she went to speak with him but bit her tongue as she tried.

"N-no.... ouch.."

Rael looked at her scowl with a dazed expression, even if she had grown up, his princess was still as cute as when she was a kid.

He put his two palms underneath his chin as he smiled at her while she was rampaging and telling him about all her stories.

Right when she was in the middle of sharing another incident of hers, she heard Rael suddenly interrupt.

"Vaani."

She was a bit started that her father called her by her real name instead of using puns, she was in a slight daze when she saw his sweet smile.

Just how many years had it been since she saw it last?

"I am proud of you."

"W-what... Uwahhh...!!!" She blushed suddenly as she tilted her head, staring at the rosewood ground.

He grinned at her as he took a sip of his tea, he couldn't help but chuckle as he continued staring at her.

Vaani herself couldn't believe what she was hearing, although she had been pampered by her father a lot, never had he ever complimented her in this way, not had he ever said that he was proud, he had never acknowledged her before.

Tears welled up again in her eyes in the corner of her eyes again, she used her pinky finger to wipe them up.

"Why are you crying?" His tone was genuinely worried, probably he himself hadn't realized that he had never acknowledged her before.

"Nothing, daddy's tea is simply very tasty and is making nostalgic." She smiled freely without any chains holding her, she felt very happy at the moment.

Rael lowered his head a bit as he looked out of the window.

"I see."

His face was stoic and indifferent but his ears had turned into the color of strawberries, blushing like flowers grazing in a field.

Hecate, Aria, and Alizejh were sitting at the same table in a café. All three of them were sharing a cup of coffee each for their own.

Aria was drinking black coffee while Alizejh was drinking café au lait and Hecate, tea.

The temperature in the room was very cold, to the point of freezing to death.

All of the onlookers who were looking at them since they stood out a lot, all of them looked like divine beauties in the café involuntary shuddered, there was too much tension!!

"So~ let's introduce ourselves now shall we~?" Aria spoke with a polite smile which looked hostile more.

All of the onlookers had the same thought at that moment be it, men, women, or even children.

'Brrr~ So damn scary!!'

"I am Aria Verdansha the Archduchess of Undis, the Undead Kingdom, the daughter of Raizel Von Rondo." She spoke in an imposing manner as if dominating over them.

Alizejh narrowed her eyes as she looked at her, she had lost all her official titles since the day she discarded her title of a royal member of the Greed Family.

"I am just Alizejh." She spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Nice to meet you Just Alizejh," Aria spoke with a polite smile.

Hecate almost spit tea back inside the cup due to choking over it.

Alizejh smiled calmly, she hated dad jokes, all of a sudden the atmosphere changed. The inner sadistic-psycho Alizejh had appeared.

"Nice to meet you too, miss show off." She snorted, quite what the wild Alizejh would say.

The two of them beside her were a bit shocked.

'Split personality? No this is a bit different, it is like a switch...'

"Oh my Miss Alizejh, your language is so crude." She chuckled.

"Oh that's convenient for me then, I don't have to act or behave politely with you nor do I have to keep put with all this fucking bullshit."

Both the women widened their eyes as they looked at the girl who had a complete 180-degree change, from being a sweet and polite girl to a tomboyish gangster.

Alizejh crossed her legs as she called the waiter.

The waiter hurried over there, cold sweat dripped from his forehead under the gazes of the women glaring at him.

"H-how may I be of your assistance?"

"This coffee is too bitter, add more sugar... actually add cream also and add vanilla... with extra sugar. You heard right? Tell them to make it sweet. Give it to me as a takeaway."

Just as the waiter was going, Alizejh yelled.

"Why the fuck are you going? I haven't completed saying my order."

The waiter's face paled, he really didn't want to take her order, if he stood over there for a moment more then he would really die of the pressure.

"Forgive me miss, please continue."

Alizejh nodded, "Alright then, I  would  like a chocolate mousse, strawberry cheesecake, blueberry mousse, triple chocolate cake, tropical tart-."

His face paled even more, at the speed she was saying he really wouldn't be able to write and would die due to the soul-piercing gazes.

When Alizejh finished saying her order, his legs didn't have the power to stand anymore and plopped upon his knees.

"Oi, you listening? Ah, you dead?" She frowned.

Scanning the vicinity, she raised her hand.

"Can someone take the order? Your waiter seems to be out of it."

Everyone present gulped their saliva as they stared at his fainted body, what a pity, your sacrifice was not in vain.

We shall steer clear of this monster.

The new waiter who was apparently forced to go tend to them had lifeless eyes as he noted down her order.

After he was done, Alizejh turned to look at Aria.

"I believe that Miss Aria will be paying right? Since you are the 'Oh so rich lady' here."

Aria gave her a polite smile full of malice, Alizejh did the same while the maid quietly sipped her tea enjoying the drama.

While sparks were flying in between the two ladies, the door to the coffee shop opened once again as a new customer walked in.

As the bell of the door opening rang, most of the customers and staff turned their heads to look at the new customer since he had broken the tension in the atmosphere.

He had a neatly tied bun with fringes on his forehead, totally adopting the modern hairstyle. He was wearing a loose white t-shirt and long baggy pants.

His hands were full of shopping bags that seemed to have clothes of the best quality.

He had an earring attached to one of his ears and a ring on one of his fingers, with each step he took, most of the women looked at him as if in a trace.

However be didn't care about any of them, his violet amethyst eyes scanned the area as if looking for someone.

Right then someone stepped from behind him, she had long golden hair tied up in a bun and was wearing the same goggles that Rael was wearing the other day.

She was wearing just like Rael, a matching white t-shirt and baggy pants, her porcelain smooth skin attracted a lot of attention but none of them dared to feel jealous.

Rael took her by the hand as he walked towards one of the waiters.

"Hello, sir! What can I do for you?" He smiled professionally due to breaking away from the scary atmosphere from before.

"A table for two please," Rael said with a warm smile etched across his face.

The waiter checked all the tables available but all of them were full.

"Ah sorry, it seems that all the tables are full, if you like then you can opt for take-away." The waiter said with pity.

"Is that so... that is quite sad I was hoping to sit down for a bit," Vaani spoke from behind him with a sad expression.

She was a bit tired due to all the shopping although she was the one who insisted.

Rael was a bit angry, his fatherly instincts had kicked in, how dare they make his daughter sad with such an answer, he had just met her after two million years!!

Although he was letting his emotions get the best of him, this was for his daughter!

He glared at the waiter in front of him as if he would eat his soul away, the waiter gulped his saliva.

Why were all the customers so troublesome today?

"I-I guess you can share a table with someone else right?" He squeaked out, he really felt that he would pee in front of everyone.

Rael looked at Vaani who gave him her approval, accepting the idea.

He looked back at the cowering waiter and said in a cold tone.

"Sure why not."

Suddenly everyone present in the café had an ominous feeling.
