The sword hesitated for a moment before responding. 'Prince? I'm not sure what you mean, Kye. I only mentioned that you possess the qualities of a prince, such as strength, resilience, and leadership.' He now started to avoid the topic completely. 'It's not uncommon for individuals with these qualities to be compared to princes in literature and stories.'

Kye furrowed his brows, unsure if he believed Lightbringer's explanation. He had never thought of himself as a prince, nor did he think he had the qualities of one. But now that he thought about it, there was someone else who always slipped his tongue when addressing him first. It was Leo. He was always referring to him as 'your highness', before correcting himself.

'I can see that you aren't believing me.' Lighbringer said with a sigh. 𝑓𝔯e𝚎𝒘𝗲𝚋𝒏oѵ𝒆𝒍. c𝗼m

'If you know it, then why aren't telling me the truth?' Kye asked.

Lightbringer hesitated for a moment before responding, choosing his words carefully. "Kye, the truth is not always what we want to hear, but I will tell you what I know nonetheless. You see, there is a prophecy that speaks of a prince who will rise up and lead the people to victory in the face of great adversity. Many believe that you are that prince."

Kye's eyes widened in surprise. "A prophecy? Me?"

"Yes," Lightbringer replied. "It is said that this prince will possess great strength, courage, and leadership abilities and that he will unite the people against a common enemy. Many have seen these qualities in you, Kye. And that is why you have been compared to a prince."

Kye was still struggling to comprehend what he was hearing. "But who is this common enemy?"

"That is not known," Lightbringer admitted. "But there are those who believe that it is coming and that you are the only one who can stop it. That is why it is important for you to embrace your true identity and fulfill your destiny as this prince."

Kye was silent for a moment, lost in thought. He had always felt that there was something missing in his life, something he was meant to do. Could it be that this was it? Could he really be the one to save his people?

However, he quickly finds a loophole in the story Lightbringer was telling him.

'You f*cking geezer, tell me the truth already!' He shouted in his mind. 'Stop spouting nonsense! Didn't you say his majesty or whatsoever earlier? That you were his sword but came to me nonetheless?'

'Why are you brat so persistent?!'

'Why do you keep lying? You're truly a demon!'

'...'

This time, it was Lightbringer to keep its mouth shut.

'Don't tell me...?' Kye started to guess a few things. He didn't need to have great knowledge to fill in the missing points. 'The king you're referring to, is it the fallen angel, Lucifer?'

'W-what? N-no? H-how did you c-come to this conclusion?' The sword started to stutter.

'You're a special sword, and there's no king in heaven.' Kye explained. 'Then it only leaves hell, which is ruled by the fallen angel, right? And 'Lightbringer', isn't it his sword? Then were you his sword? But why were you gifted to me then? Or is it from him? Is it a gift? Am I really his son? But how? I'm not even a demon.' He asked so many questions that Lightbringer's mind started to hurt.

'Okay okay, I got it, I'll tell you, just shut up, please.' Even though Kye stopped asking, it wasn't willingly as he still had many more questions in his mind. 'Yes, you are the son of the fallen angel, Lucifer. I can't tell you the details, but you are indeed the prince of hell, okay? Do you understand?'

Kye was in shock, his mind racing as he tried to process what he had just heard. He was the son of Lucifer, the fallen angel, and the prince of hell. It was a lot to take in.

'But why was I born a human and lived on Earth?' Kye asked, his confusion deepening.

'I cannot say for certain,' Lightbringer replied. 'But some believe that it was to protect you from those who would seek to harm you, or to prepare you for the role that you were destined to play.'

Kye was still struggling to accept his new reality. He had always felt like he didn't quite fit in, but he never could have imagined that he was the son of the devil. He wondered what it meant for his future and the fate of the people he cared about even though they weren't here anymore.

'And who's my mom, then? Is she the demon queen? But why am I an angel then?'

'I, unfortunately, can't answer all of your questions now, but the only thing I can tell you is that your mom isn't a demon, and that's the reason why you aren't a demon yourself. At least, not yet.'

'And what am I supposed to do, now? Will I be the target of people? And if I'm really his son, then won't Archangel Uriel want my head?'

'You don't have to worry about Uriel. She is a very peculiar angel. And I'm sure she's only interested in you now because she saw you holding me when fighting the beetle-like monster.' Lightbringer explained as it relieved Kye greatly. Still, there was one last question remains. 'As for what you should do, it is up to you to decide. Unlike what you might think, you are free, Kye. You are not bound by your status and can do whatever you want. It is you who need to choose your path, and I would be here to help you until the end.'

'Thanks, but aren't you my da-... Lucifer's sword?' Kye asked, perplexed as he didn't know why he has this sword considering it wasn't his.

'I was previously his sword, that is true. However, I'm now yours, and it won't change, so you don't have to worry.'

'I...see. Thank you, I guess.' Kye looked up at the sky, his head filled with thought.

Lightbringer watched Kye silently, sensing the turmoil within him. It was understandable. Learning that one was the son of the devil was not an easy thing to accept. It was a lot to take in, and Kye needed time to process everything.

'Kye, there is something I must warn you about.' Lightbringer spoke, breaking the silence.

'What is it?' Kye asked, turning his attention back to the sword.

'There are those who will seek to use your identity against you. They will want to exploit your status as the son of Lucifer for their own gain. You must be careful of who you trust.' Lightbringer warned.

'Didn't you say earlier that there were still a lot of people to meet and to care about?' He chuckled lightly as his mood has gotten a little bit better.

'It is not the same, Kye!' Unlike him, Lightbringer's voice was filled with urgency. 'There are very few people who know your real identity for now, and they are all trusted people who vowed their loyalty. However, in the near future, more people will get to know that you are someone insanely important. Your dad isn't someone normal, and so is your mother. And this put a giant target over your head, do you understand?!'

'Yeah, yeah, whatever.'

'You brat! Listen to your elders seriously when they are talking to you! Do you take this matter as a joke?'

'No, I'm not. It's just that you said those who know my identity have the obligation to make a vow of some sort, meaning that those people are powerful to be told such a great secret. By extension, it also means that they are my allies and that they will protect me, or at least, their reputation will make people aiming for my life think twice before making a move.'

Lightbringer didn't expect Kye to have thought so far ahead already; Truly befitting the prince of hell, he thought. 'Still, you must be careful and increase your strength. That's why you can't stay here grieving for your friends who are all most likely alive. You would have found their dead bodies already otherwise.'

'Now that you mention it, it's true that there are a lot fewer bodies than it was supposed to be. But then, where are they?' Kye asked as hope started coming back into his eyes.
