Sonny was a lovely boy who grew up sheltered by his father, who was known as the demon king, feared across the cultivation world.
Demons carried destructive powers and always hungered for chaos and death. However, Sonny was different, for he was half demon and half human.
His mother, whose name is Peach, is married to his father. His father loved his mother to death, so life was good for Sonny.
Sonny was in his bedroom, listening to his parents reading a fairy tale book, his favorite one.
Sonny was lying in his bed, his eyes eager toward his parents, who watched him with love in their eyes.
His mother lay beside him, her arms petting through his hair, until he fell asleep, listening to his father's deep voice.
"So the prince defeats the dragon—"
The demon king's red eyes, which show his identity, for only demon kings have red eyes as dark as crimson blood. His name is Nyx.
Nyx's red eyes stare lovely toward his son and his wife, who got off the bed and kissed the sleeping boy.
Nyx rose up and grabbed his wife's hands. Peach smiled at him, and they left to go to their bedroom.
Peach laughed when the demon king threw her on the bed, her beautiful robe slowly rising, revealing her pale thighs.
The demon king smirked. He crawls on the bed toward her; his big hands grab her waist, and love fills his heart.
"My beautiful wife… hmm… Just looking at you makes me want to eat you…"
Her eyes lifted with amusement. "Oh... Is that so?"
Then she lifted her hands, pushed him away, and crawled on his waist.
They began to do what couples do: love and sex. The room was filled with rough pleasure and moans.
Sonny, unaware of what his parents were doing, slept soundly, dreaming about what only boys of his age dream.
Many hours later, in the middle of the night. It was almost dawn; the night sky was filled with heavy, dull sounds that echoed across the forest.
The demon king, who was sleeping by his wife, opened his eyes. A dark gaze flashed in his pupils, for he sensed powerful humans coming across his home.
He woke up his wife. "Wake up, we're not alone."
Peach woke up groggily, "Hmm. What do you mean?"
She opened her eyes, and her husband carried a heavy aura around him, and she asked with a hint of concern, "What's wrong?"
At that same time, a shrieking noise echoes across the forest like the sound of thunder. So loud it makes your ears ring.
Nyx tells his wife, "Go get Sonny; someone powerful is here."
She nodded and asked, "Do you know who it is?"
He coldly smiled, "Yes, I can sense his cultivation. The grandmaster is here."
The grandmaster is known as the first powerful cultivator in the world, powerful for he hunts down demons like a hunter, and he never stops.
The grandmaster and the demon king fought many times, and both of them got injured many times, for their strengths are on par and equal, and no one can find out who's truly equal.
Peach left the room with an anxious look on her face. When she reached her son's room, she saw that her son was sleeping in the bed, unaware that someone dangerous's here.
Relieved, she went to grab her son and carried him down the hall, his weight light, so Peach wasn't slowed down. However, she recognized someone in the hall. The king's younger brother—Soren.
Soren looked at Peach with a hard expression. "What's going on? I can sense humans coming up our way."
Peach shakes her head. "I don't know. My husband sensed someone, saying that the grandmaster is here. I'm going to hide in the basement and wait for him."
Siren nodded with a serious look and approached her, and he smiled softly toward Sonny, his little nephew.
He gently rubbed his head, and then he looked at Peach with sorrowful eyes. "I'm sorry."
Peach's eyes filled with confusion. "Why are you sorry—"
Then her eyes widen in shock when she lowers her head down, a long blade deep in her son's back and into her chest. Blood falling down her body, including her beloved child.
Peach coughed heavily, then she looked at Soren with heavy emotions—shock, speechlessness, and betrayal.
Soren has been one of her closest friends and brothers-in-law. Someone she trusted for very many years. She fell to the ground, holding her son with shaky hands. "Why—"
Soren's eyes turned cold, his words soft and steady. "The throne is mine. It was always mine."
His eyes filled with ambitions, like sharp teeth revealed behind the snake's teeth.
Peach's eyes closed; darkness filled her vision. Her last thought was filled with her son, her beloved child.
With a fierce will, she used her last strength to heal her son's injuries, hoping with every being he would survive.
Soren's footsteps walked past her, light. His last words lingered in the air: "Don't be sad. I'll send your lover down in the underworld with you."
When he left the hall, Peach healed her son's injuries despite blood coming out of her mouth. She let out another cough, then smiled bitterly. She whispered sadly. "My son, I wish I could stay and protect you."
Her last words were heard by Sonny, who opened his eyes. He cried out when he saw blood coming down his mother's chest, "Mother!"
Sonny watched his mother's chest, owned with a large hole, with blood continuing to pour out. Sonny shook like a leaf; he was so confused about what happened.
Why was his mother bleeding?!
Peach opened her eyes almost barely, and she smiled with blood coming out of her mother. "My child, always remember that I love you."
Then her eyes closed.
Sonny let out a shriek. The shriek was as loud as a wild cub losing his parent. Sonny cried, tears falling down his cheeks, "Father!!!"
"Daddy! Where are you?! Daddy!"
Sonny began to shake his mother's shoulder despite blood on his clothes, his hands, and his face.
