After Stealing Hero's Mother, I Reincarnated in the Fantasy World!-Chapter 117: Royal Blood Demons

When his mother asked about the Demons, Rain couldn't help but sink into thought.

Demons? He knew of them from his Homeworld.

There were only two races in his world: Demons and Humans.

He had never delved deeply into the subject, but he didn't need to – due to the constant threat from Demons, almost everyone had a basic knowledge of them.

Demons are creatures that on an instinctive level hated humans, seeking to destroy them. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the main threat to humanity and the main incentive for its development.

When Rain began to spend a lot of time with Liliana Holystar, the Mother of the Hero in his World, his knowledge of Demons naturally grew broader, but in fact even with that he had no idea how, when, or where they came from.

And even in this world where there were many different races, including Elves, Dragons, and even the forbidden race of Angels, Demons were also present.

Despite existing in two different worlds, they were very similar to the ones Rain saw in his world.

This had struck him as strange from the start, and in the time he had spent in this world and with the information he had gotten from the body's past owner, he had become completely convinced of one thing – the Demons of this World and his Original World were one and the same.

That was a little suspicious. Could they all have come from the same place?

Right now he didn't know that, so Rain deferred the question until later, telling his mother what he knew.

Faelia nodded her head satisfied.

"That's right."

Still sitting across from him in her light dress, she slipped one leg over the other.

"That's exactly what most of this world knows about Demons."

Catching the implication in her words, a smile appeared on his lips.

"But that's not all we know, is it?"

His mother smiled charmingly, too.

"You haven't forgotten how many generations of Winderline have dedicated themselves to exterminating Demons, have you? Of course our knowledge of them is naturally deeper than others. It's just that you've never taken an interest in family affairs, so I haven't told you, wondering if you're even interested in anything other than women."

"Ahem... then what are their origins?"

"Demonic Dimension."

Her melodious voice announced the answer before continuing.

"People can't get there, so not much is known about it, but it's definitely where they all originate from."

Rain was deep in thought for a moment, then nodded his head.

"I see. But when exactly did Demons appear in this world?"

"It's simple: they never appeared here, they've existed here all along. At least when the founder of our family first started our endeavour, the world was almost completely consumed by Demons, leaving no room for humans and other races. It took the combined efforts of all races and quite a bit of sweat and blood to come to the world we have now."

Using the knowledge of two lives, Rain went over this information in his head several times, trying to find some clues, but unfortunately it was to no avail.

'Looks like I'll have to find out from the system as well. As a shard of the Goddess's soul, she should definitely know more.'

"And the reason I called Celestia to my place today also has to do with information that only a limited number of people know."

Faelia's gaze fell on her Sister, causing her to flinch.

Celestia had been sitting quietly drinking tea and sweets until then, occasionally adjusting her collar to hide the evidence of their stormy night, and praying that no attention would be paid to her.

Unfortunately, heaven was deaf to her prayers.

"It's about the Royal Blood Demons."

"Royal Blood?"

This was the first time Rain had heard of it.

"Demons that possess powerful Blessings and the True Blood of the Progenitor. Although they are also called 'Demons', they are actually beings of a completely different order, incomparable to Demons."

"Their mere presence is considered a calamity of the Scale of the Empire. There have been many times in our history when their very existence has led to the disappearance of entire cities."

Realizing where this was going, Rain looked her in the eye.

"And you mean..."

"Yes, in our hometown of Haerin, one of them has appeared."

"Though I feel an uneasy feeling from his presence, I can't pinpoint his exact location. He is most likely in hiding."

From what Rain knew, even ordinary Demons were masters of disguise, making it difficult to detect them, and with Royal Blood possessors, it had to be even worse.

"It's a bit of a headache, but it's our job as Winderlines and pillars of this city to deal with it."

Celestia nodded her head. She, too, had been feeling this presence in the city lately, which was a cause for concern for her.

But soon her fists clenched as she came to a conclusion.

'I just have to kill them all, like I always do.'

All the warmth she had shown before disappeared from her eyes without a trace, replaced by an eerie emotionless light.

After everything that had happened between her and Rain, Celestia was even more certain of it.

Rain still lived in this city and attended the Academy, what if he got hurt?

Because of the recent hype, the Academy had become an even more popular place to target. For Demons, there could be nothing better than a place where all future human talents gather.

So she had to be the first to find it and erase its existence from this world herself, no matter what it took.

After all, even though her nephew's potential was high and his progress was faster than anyone she knew, he still wouldn't be at the level to deal with Royal Blood level Demons.

Especially, Demons had a natural hatred for humans, so they wouldn't even look at his handsome face...

"...Celestia? Can you hear me?"

"Ah? What?"

Faelia's voice brought her back to her senses.

"I asked if you were ready to take on this case... but it seems you've gotten even closer?"

Her eyes flashed with slight suspicion.

Celestia pulled herself close to Rain without realizing it. Feeling the warmth of her body against his side, Rain decided to add.

"Of course, Celestia is the best Auntie possible. She even helped me with..."

His aunt grabbed a brownie off the table, shoving it into his mouth and not letting him finish.

"Try this, it's my favorite...!"

She looked at him, praying he would stop.

But how could he stop teasing her when she reacted that way every time?

Especially while Celestia might have been worried that his mother would discover something, Rain was confident that everything would be fine. He had washed his Aunt with his own hands, so he was convinced that her body was clean. At least on the outside...

Licking his lips from the sweet cream, he stealthily squeezed her ass.

...!

Using all her willpower, she managed to hold back a moan and keep an almost decent expression on her face.

Faelia's predatory gaze, as if able to see right through her, was fixed on her for a while longer before she continued.

"...I see. Then what about my request to deal with this Royal Blood Demon?"

"I'll do it."

Celestia replied in a serious tone, clenching her thighs so nothing of her would spill onto the couch.

"Good, then it's settled."

With those words, Faelia stood up and leaned back against the couch in her light dress while a crystal glass with a cherry liquid appeared in her hands.

"Celestia, would you like a drink?"

"No."

She didn't hesitate to give an instant answer. After the embarrassing position she'd put herself in because of alcohol, she didn't want to drink anymore.

"That's right. You never knew how to drink, Sis."

Celestia blushed embarrassedly.

Why did even her Sister know about it, but not her?

After a few slow sips, Faelia's lips curved into a slight smile.

"I think it's morning."

With her words, everyone's eyes, including Rain's, turned to the window.

At this moment, the darkness of the night had already left, replaced by dawn.

Located on the highest floor of the Manor, his mother's study had a beautiful view of their family's manicured grounds. And since the windows faced the same side as his room, the same garden could be seen from here as from his room.

'If Celestia and I had gone there at night instead of my room, my mother might have noticed us?'

With these perverted thoughts, the first rays of sunlight penetrated the room, marking the beginning of a new day.
