Angels, Demons and Humans
2. Lullaby
He wants her to sing him to sleep one day.
The trio return to the Overlord's castle, none of the two girls speaking a word to Laharl. There was plenty to say tomorrow. Both thinks Laharl needs time to himself. The blue-haired demon retires to his room and leaves his servants to be. The red moon is still bright, high up in the sky. It's cleansing more than just prinny souls tonight.
Flonne is cleaning in the overlord's throne room when Laharl decides to leave his solitude. Laharl idly watches her skip from corner to doesn't seem to notice him. What an idiot. His mouth is wide open to insult her but shuts it 's suppose to be nicer to her now– not because he feels in debt to her– it's because he feels like it.
Then Laharl hears a soft melody. Flonne hums the notes quietly, her voice rising and descending like a wave. The song has a rocking effect, Laharl melody matches Flonne. It is calming, and soothing, and feels like someone is carrying you back home.
This type of music is very uncommon in the Netherworld, but Laharl feels as if he's been around this luxury for years. The young prince realizes what Flonne is humming.
Flonne is humming a lullaby. Laharl can't believe he had forgotten. His mother would sing him a lullaby and rock him to sleep in her arms. Laharl isn't afraid to admit that one thing he misses about his mother was her lullabies. Laharl sighs and returns to his room.
He hopes she'll have someone who will love her lullabies as he did.
