Chapter 24
“Useless fool!” the thunderous voice boomed across the hall.
The ministers cringed in fear as the king’s only son knelt down in front of his throne ,in guilt. As the King stared down hard at his son, he finally spoke,” Kill him. He doesn’t deserve living in this world!”
The ministers gasped in horror, they immediately knelt down and beg for leniency. “Your majesty, the crown Prince is your only son. Can you bear to do so? Pls think twice!”
The stone-hearted King scoffed at the remark, “FOOLS! He is a half- devil now! He is no longer my son. He is just a stranger to me, to us. I will be going back to my room for now. Tomorrow, I do not want to see Lisbon Dead anymore. He had long died anyway.” With that, the King floated out of the hall, not sparing a second glance at his “son”.
Lisbon Dead just looked down on the floor, guilt-ridden. “Kill me. Father is right. I deserve to die. I have failed my task to be a Prince Devil. I have fallen in love once and when Father turned me into a zombie, he hoped for me to turn life anew. Yet, I disappointed him by hesitating to kill.”
The minister stared at him in shock, ”Prince! You regained your memory?! How..how did you know that you fell in love once?!”
Shrugging, he answered, ”Ever since I tasted Persephone Angel’s blood. It reminded me of something and suddenly, everything came back. I was no longer void of feelings. Cool, huh?”
The ministers just looked at him in awe,” Love is such a great thing. No devil in history ever regained his memory after turning into a zombie!”
As the ministers blabbered about love, Lisbon closed his eyes as the flashback began...
Flashback----

“Fine. Let me go. I want to leave your world. Once and for all.”
“NO! You are someone from my past. I have no clue about it and only you can help me. I know I am like a zombie with no feelings or whatsoever now. But, I am forcing it to come back. I want it to. Sorry for whatever I have done. Pls forgive me and help me regain my memory.”
” I lied to you. You do not know me at all. I have nothing to do with you until the day you start hunting me.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
***
He could not understand why Persephone lied to him, but he believed that it was his own good. He never regretted falling in love. That mind-racing experience was something many people can never have. Just like that, having someone you truly love was enough. He was contented.
As he glanced around, he took the sword from one of the ministers’ scabbard and pierced it through his heart, in one swift movement. The blade slashed through his skin and he felt blood oozing out from his chest. Black blood trickled down and stained his clothes. The last thing he saw were spots in his vision and the moaning sounds of ministers. He left the world,with a smile on his face.
