Fuck, he knows. I swallow, eyes watering. “I don’t know what I saw…”
He stays silent, letting me know I can continue when I’m ready.
“Two years ago, I had a vision that when I became Queen, Hell would fall under my reign. Hell… actually turns into hell. Fire everywhere, palaces collapsing, souls escaping Hell… It wasn’t good.” I whisper the last part. Since I turned sixteen, I have developed the ability to see the future. The next in line to reign always does.
My father nods. “Then you left because of it?”
I look up at him, tears threatening to fall. “If Hell is set to fall under my reign, why would I accept the throne?”
He circles me. “But you came back?”
“Hell… is set to fall under Derrick’s reign too.” I close my eyes, sighing. “Hell will fall no matter what, but I don’t know how we can stop it.”
My father nods. “We will have to tell the other courts of Hell, so they are aware.”
I nod.
“I have a vision myself, diaboli,” he says, pacing.
I cock a brow, waiting for him to continue.
“I had a vision of what you need to do next. You need a court of people who will protect you.”
My eyes roll. “I don’t need protection. I can—”
“You also need to learn how to protect yourself better.”
Looking up at him, I try to figure out what he means. My father can’t teach me how to fight like he did when I was a kid. Well, even then, he had trained people who taught us. “What was the vision, Father?”
“Hell is set to fall, no matter what, my child. I saw you with a team of men who would die to protect you.”
I blink. I know no man who would even get a cut to protect me, let alone die. “I don’t need men to protect me. I can figure out how to protect myself.”
He sighs. “Anima Messorm Academy. You were wearing the uniform. Hellhounds protect you when you claim the throne, diaboli.”
I look down. “You think I should go to Soul Reaper Academy?”
My father touches my chin and lifts my head. “Head up or your crown will fall… I am giving you the okay to go to the academy to save Hell.”
“How do you know it will save it?”
My father shrugs. “You won’t know, if you don’t try.”
I feel like my father is holding information from me, but I can’t tell what and I doubt he will tell me.
“Plus, you’ve always wanted to go… But tonight, we will feast as a family again.” He smiles at me, tousling my hair.
For the next few minutes, I take my time looking at the changes inside the house, there isn’t much. Then I go to my room. It is the way it was when I left it, besides the small child crying on my bed. My younger brother, Fenric, sits up, eyes wet with tears. “Are you going to leave me again?”
I push on my bottom lip, rushing to him and wrapping my arms around him. I am a sucker for kids, especially him. We were inseparable when I was around. “I’ll be starting school, but we will have visits often. Okay?”
He burst into tears, hugging me. He was ten when I left, and now he’s just shy of thirteen. “We missed you.”
I kiss his forehead. “I missed you too.”
“You’re going to the academy?” Derrick’s voice comes from the open door of the room.
“Mhm,” I hum, looking at him.
