Continuation: Side Story- Part Two

When the prince woke up the next day he had a feeling something was wrong. He shook his head, Where was he? He looked around the room, his vision becoming clearer every minute. First off, everything was unnaturally large, not that it bothered him. He'd slayed plenty of ogres and giants in his time, so if it was one of those, it'd be a piece of cake. Then he finally say a hand mirror lying on the bed, Might as well go there, he thought, No use slaying a monster if you're going to look like a peasant while doing it.

He slithered over to the mirror and got a good luck at himself, he screamed, and recoiled away from it. Hissing violently. When he calmed down, he went back towards the mirror, sighing softly at his reflection. How did I get so ugly... Just then the door opened and a girl in robes stomped in, she slammed the door behind her, the bang echoed throughout the room. She rushed over to the vanity, pushing bottles and opening drawers, her eyes furrowed as she took out a vial containing a light pink liquid. "I swear I had more than this yesterday," she said to herself, "Ah well, I can always brew a new batch."

He cleared his throat and the girl looked back at him, startled. "Who are you?!" she hissed, a knife in hand, she approached him cautiously, as if his mere appearance made her nervous. "Prince Gakupo, but you can call me Your Majesty, or My Lord." The girl laughed, "I need to tell mother to stop letting her delusional experiments out. I'm Luka, by the way, Luka Megurine." She scooped him up with her free hand and walked out of the room, heading to her mother's chamber. She entered the lavishly decorated room hesitantly, "Mother?..."

A young woman with large purple crescents under her eyes looked up. "Yes dear?"

Luka shifted her feet, " Did you let any of your experiments out lately? I found this talking snake in my room today when I was searching for the Eros Potion."

The woman shook her head, her teal hair moving ever so slightly. " I haven't let an experiment run free in months, and I have certainly never tested on a snake, your father would never look at me the same way again...If he decides to come back."

Luka nodded and exited the room, her eyes sad. Finally, she spoke, "In case you're wondering, my mother is half demon, which explains why she looks so young. Since, Demons have longer lifespans than pretty much anything. And yes, demons and our species can crossbreed."

He nodded, " And your dad...?"

"Went missing around a year ago, he went to the city to retrieve some documents, but he never came back. Mother and I can't go in there, since our kind isn't allowed." She gritted her teeth, " I bet he's at a damn brothel right now, I never liked him."

"Do you hate your father that much? Besides, what are you? "

She smirked, "A witch, what'd you think I was, a princess?" She laughed, "Princesses are so weird," she scrunched up her face and imitated a high voice, " Father! Father! Madeline wore the same dress as me to the ball today! It was absolutely dreadful!" She then shrugged, " About my dad, he never liked me. He had wandering eyes, so he thought getting married and having a child was the worst decision of his life. I don't really care about him disappearing, but he should at least send a message; so my mother doesn't spend all night and day worrying about him while he's spending all of his time with those prostitutes."


After the talk, they spent the rest of the day conversing with each other, Gakupo doing his best to keep in his snobby, arrogant self, if anyone could help him, a witch could. Which meant that he didn't really want to be insulting her, or the fact that she had horribly crude language. And acted very improperly, she also forgot to address him by 'Your Majesty' or 'My Lord'.
