It has been 500 years since the death of Rhys Corvan, who was recognized as the great demon king before the Great War.
A girl had received unexpected news of pregnancy. Her name was ayame Fujiwara, a girl from a small village known as the Village of the Sun.
This girl radiated a serene elegance and ethereal grace. Her hair was jet black, long and straight, and fell like a silken waterfall over her shoulders. Her eyes are large and deep, her most captivating feature. Her oval face is soft and delicate, with a flawless complexion and slightly rosy cheeks that give her a youthful air.
She is a magician who specializes in wind and healing magic. In her spare time, she helps heal soldiers who face demonic beasts.
Upon learning of her pregnancy, she decided to take the day off to meet with her husband and tell him that they would soon have a child together.
- "Good morning, Captain. Sorry for the delay, but I don't think I can stay today." - ayame said to the captain in charge of the anti-demon combat squad.
-"No problem, miss, but something good happened to her today. She seems very lively," the captain replied.
-"Yes, I think today has been the happiest day of my life". - said ayame.
Leaving the maintenance room, ayame decides to plan an outing with her husband while walking to the center of the imperial capital. But on the way, a small old woman with a very neglected appearance notices ayame's presence and shows a certain degree of interest in her.
-"Hey girl, ¿have you ever heard the story of the demon king?" - said the old woman".
-"Me? Well, yes, it's one of the most popular stories in our country, although I don't know all the details well" - said ayame.
- "Well then you probably already know the rumor of a possible birth of a new demon king. - said the old woman.
- "The birth of a new demon king?" - said ayame.
-"Yes, my girl, in a few months your son will be born with that title" - said the old woman.
ayame seemed somewhat surprised, the news that she would have a baby was something she had known for only a couple of hours, the idea of an old woman suddenly telling her this was very confusing. When she took her gaze off the old woman for a few seconds to see if the size of her stomach had changed, she realized that even her physical form had not changed.
- "Excuse me, but what do you mean by.." - said ayame.
When he looked back at the old woman he realized she had disappeared.
After 5 months of what happened, a report was broadcast to the entire kingdom and nearby villages, saying that the demonic beasts were now much more powerful and some seemed to have developed their own consciousness.
This was a problem for soldiers without enough experience, now the number of wounded per day had increased greatly, the government that day immediately knew that the next demon king had been born and if that was not the case, he would soon be born.
Therefore, the government immediately ordered the different kingdoms to inspect all children and if any of them had any demonic mana, that child would be killed.
In this world the government gave the rules of the different kingdoms and if some of them disobeyed them they would be punished and for that reason a war would start.
The last months of ayame's pregnancy were tense, thinking that she would be responsible for giving life to the next demon king. It was something that scared her, not only because of what the government would think, but she really wanted to give life to her son, so the idea of letting him die that way was impossible.
- "It doesn't matter if you become the demon king, you're my son and I love you anyway." - ayame said as she touched her own belly
Some time later, the birth of the great demon king had finally arrived. ayame didn't know it, but that day, all over the country, large earthquakes started suddenly, while in other places heavy rains had also started, and demonic mana had also shot up.
Previously, anyone could fight against demons, but from that day on, that would no longer be the case.
The government had now confirmed that the child had been born and demanded that the kingdoms search for him more frequently.
Ayame was so happy to see her child that she had even forgotten that he was the demon king.
- "Oh, how cute my little one, your name will be Kaito. I decided on this name because you will be someone who, like heaven and earth, will overcome with your flight everything that tries to harm you." - ayame said, full of joy.
Haruto Vorlag was a man of at least 25 years of age, possessing a presence that blends grace with an undeniable aura of authority. His hair, an almost luminous silver, falls straight and with a soft sheen to the nape of his neck, framing a face with delicate yet firm features. His eyes, a deep sapphire color, radiate a calm seriousness and penetrating intelligence, although at times a slight glimmer of melancholy or cunning appears in his gaze.
- "So this is my little one," - Haruto would say while carrying the little boy in his arms.
Kaito was still too young to understand what was happening, so he just smiled at the touch of his parents.
- "Your middle name will be Shin, resulting in the name Kaito Shin." - said haruto.
Kaito's father was a very strong commander of the empire, having his first son was something exciting for him so he abandoned his idea of going to kill demonic beasts on this day just to see the birth of his son, although Haruto still did not know that his son was the future demon king.
3 months later, some guards from the empire knocked on his door. As expected, they had to fulfill their duty to find the child who would replace the former demon king. Ayame opened the door but when she realized that it was the guards looking for her son, her nerves were very evident.
- "Hello, how can I help you?" - said ayame.
- "We have come by order of the king to observe the manna of his son" - Said one of the guards.
At times like this, ayame doesn't know how to respond. She was afraid that what the old woman had said that day was real, and that her son really was the new demon king.
At that moment a woman inside the house answers the guard's question by saying:
- "come on let them pass"
Ayame was very surprised when she heard that, she had been alone the whole time. at that moment she turned her head in the direction of the voice and observed the face of that old woman, surprised by what had happened, she couldn't say anything after that.
The guards, seeing the somewhat confusing atmosphere, asked the old woman:
- "Are you the young lady's mother?"
- "Are you implying that I'm too old to be one?" - said the old woman.
The guards remained silent at this question and continued their work examining the boy, they detected no demonic mana on him. they declared the work finished and continued investigating the neighboring houses.
Ayame calmed down after seeing the result of the visit of those guards, but she still had doubts about who that old woman was.
- "Just a moment, ma'am, I want to know who you are and how you got into my house." - said ayame.
That old woman just looks at Ayame with a disingenuous smile.
- "It's okay girl, I'll tell you everything you want to know." - said the old woman.
