Chapter 34 - THE BLACK CROWN -34-

As they saw the queen The couple respectfully bowed in respect to her, but they couldn't contain a sense of tension. Han,in other hand was hiding behind his mother, he couldn't help but steal curious glances at the queen.

The queen calmly stated, her words cool and detached, "I've heard that your son is classified as an Arillis. You're well aware of the rules regarding this, aren't you?"

Han's parents were desperate as they pleaded with the queen, desperation evident in their voices. "Your highness, please, there must be a mistake! Let us conduct the test again! We beg of you!"

Han's parents aren't stupids they know if they give their son he would be dead! They are aware of the royal family past with the "arillis"

Arillis are highly respected demons known for their pursuit of equality amongst their kind, their belief in abolishing ranks and favoritism for demons. and all other demons were encouraged by them and want the royal family to fall

But the family didn't keep silent about it As they feels how the arillis were a threat to them so they use arillis kindness to their own advantage and start to hunt and kill all the arillis

And despite losing numerous royal family members in the process the final had killed all the arillis due to their smaller number compared to the royal family's vast forces.

In the aftermath of the Arillis' suppression, the royal family instituted the rank test for young demons, aiming to identify and neutralize any emerging Arillis early on. This policy was widely known among demons, despite the long absence of any new Arillis arrivals in recent times.

The queen, unwilling to take any risks, firmly stood up from her throne and approached the anxious parents.

Both parents were unable to meet her gaze, intimidated by her powerful presence. She proceeded to walk over to Han, grasping his chin tightly and forcing his small face and innocent eyes to meet her intense stare.

Her attention was drawn to his eyes, which were changed into a yellow hue, rather than the traditional red color of other demons. This unusual attribute further solidified the evidence that he was indeed an Arillis.

Han cried out in pain as the queen pressed harder, nearly causing his jaw to snap under the pressure. The mother, unable to bear the sight of her baby's tears, furiously pushed the queen away, enfolding her son in a tight embrace. which left everyone shocked by that

"You dare to disrespect your queen?!" She says as she left her hand on them about to harm the mother but surprisingly the father pulled his wife and son behind him rising his sword at the queen

This sudden move provoked a ripple of reactions among the royal guards, who instantly responded by unsheathing their swords and pointing them towards the father.

The queen laughed loud as she looked at them "how fascinating! What a brave act!!" Her smile dropped as she continued "Oh, how foolish of me to consider letting this child die peacefully but because of your actions i will make him suffer and wish for his death!!"

Han's parents suddenly found themselves weakened, sinking to their knees in a daze. At the same time, they locked eyes with the queen, her gaze glimmering ominously with a red hue. Their understanding dawned on them. the queen had absorbed their own power.

In response, Han's mother desperately clung to her son, pulling him into a tight embrace as the guards approached them, intending to confiscate the child.

Han's desperate cry of "Mommy!!!" echoed in the room as the guard forcefully yanked him away from his mother. She could feel her heart breaking, and tears streamed down her face as she desperately begged for her son to be returned to her.

The father, fighting through the pain, tried his best to rise and save his son, but the guard mercilessly kicked him back down, their cold demeanor adding to the mother's anguish.

The queen pulled han's face to her as he says "oh my dear do you want to see something funny? Something that you would never forget!" Han tried to resist, his tiny frame trembling with fear, desperately pleading for his mother.

But the queen forcefully turned his head, leaving him no choice but to watch what was about to unfold.

Han's eyes widened as he saw two guards standing behind his partner Their swords loomed over them, ready to strike to end their lives. Han screamed loudly being them to stop but his pleas fell on deaf ears. The sinister guards ignored his cries, the queen still forcing him to watch

Han's heart shattered as he witnessed the guards binding his parents. Their anguished screams pierced the air, the only sound that reached Han's ears. His eyes were lookingat the broken pieces of their life cores

Han's normally innocent yellow eyes took on a darkened hue as tears streamed down his face as he screamed his lungs out and suddenly everyone feels something wrong before they all scream in pain as han unconsciously used his power

"Illusion" which was han's power This ability unleashed a wave of illusory pain upon everyone present, causing them to scream in agony as they felt the excruciating torment of false pain.

Making them feels what his parents suffered from before they died as han fall on ground when the guard let him down from the pain he crawled to his parents body as he carried their broken life core

His power start to get even stronger as no one could even move from the pain except for the queen she tried her best to reach him.

Her movements were halted, hindered by the power's excruciating effects. However, her determination prevailed, and she managed to touch his life core.

The queen's intention was to absorb his power, as she believed the task would be simple due to his youth. However, to her surprise, the task proved more difficult than anticipated.

Despite the challenges, the queen managed to absorb Han's power, but it felt like his power was consuming her from within, burning her heart. She struggled to endure the intensity.

As Han's power waned, his fatigued body collapsed beside the lifeless bodies of his parents. The queen couldn't help but smile at the sight, but she too felt the strain of her actions. She collapsed onto the floor, still reeling from the potent energy coursing through her.
