Chapter 363 The Demon Races

Sayana blinked her eyes, "Eh? No…He doesn\'t even know…" Sayana said in a low voice while she couldn\'t believe that now her mother knew about her feelings towards Dorian.

\'At least he has some self-control,\' Umilia inwardly thought with a sigh and wondered if she should let this continue or not. But then again, she didn\'t have an exact idea of Viktor\'s feelings and decided that she should have a talk with him when he came back. Still, she knew that Sayana shouldn\'t get involved with Viktor seriously till the day she learned the truth. Otherwise, things can get even more complicated.

"Then…do you plan to confess your feelings to him?" Umilia asked gently.

Sayana firmly pressed her lips together, and after thinking for a few moments, she shook her head, "No…Dorian may not like me in that way. I am just keeping these feelings to myself. Otherwise, if I confess and he doesn\'t feel the same, then we two might not be friends anymore."

Umilia sighed as she caressed Sayana\'s head, "It\'s okay. You are right. It is best not to confess anything till you understand and know more about him. Unlike how our society is right now, where men and women change their partners for trifling things, I want you to love someone who will stay with you forever and be there for you no matter what. That is why even if you like someone, make sure he is the right one for you and learn more about them to see if they can understand you as well as a person."

Umilia said this not only because she wanted to make sure what Sayana was feeling was not just a simple crush but also to make sure that Sayana wouldn\'t get into a relationship with him without knowing the truth.

And she couldn\'t know the truth till a certain danger was taken care of.

Sayana felt that what her mother said made sense and said with a smile, "Okay, mummy. I will just be friends with him."

\'You know…that is impossible…\' Suddenly a low voice echoed in Sayana\'s mind, making her grimace slightly, trying to suppress that voice since this voice only seemed to create trouble for her every single time.

Umilia noticed her expression suddenly changing and asked with knitted brows, "Saya, are you alright? What is it? Are you feeling sick?"

Umilia held her arm and used her senses to check her body, but everything was perfectly alright, and even the faint odic force in Sayana\'s body seemed to be stable. She didn\'t see anything that could possibly cause Sayana any pain.

Sayana\'s expression immediately returned to normal, and she said with a smile, "No, it\'s nothing. I was studying late yesterday night. I just need to take some rest, I guess."

Sayana had no idea what this voice was in her head and wondered if she was imagining it. But she surely didn\'t want anyone else to know lest they think she was crazy or something.

Umilia had a complicated expression wondering if she should tell Sayana the truth since she had no idea if Sayana was going through anything because of being different from ordinary humans.

However, the fear of her reaction after knowing about her origins made Umilia again think that it was a bad idea…for now. How would an eighteen-year-old innocent girl react after learning that she was not really born…but artificially made like some lab experiment. In some ways, she could also probably be considered as Umilia\'s clone, though not everything was the same, obviously.

Still, she wanted to make sure Sayana knew she would be there for her as she said softly, "You shouldn\'t tire yourself like that. But remember…you should tell me if you are not feeling okay, no matter what."

Sayana softly nodded as she smiled and hugged her mother, wanting to feel her warmth.

Umilia was feeling very conflicted. She knew hiding the truth was wrong, but at the same time, she didn\'t want Sayana to feel any pain. She had already suffered a lot during her childhood.

But unfortunately, she knew that things won\'t stay the same forever.

It was the morning of the 5th day since Viktor and Seraphina arrived in the Darkstar Realm, and the two of them were having food in their room before leaving to meet those adventurers.

Seraphina was also sleeping on the same bed as Viktor to the point she felt as if she would die from embarrassment even though Viktor\'s body wasn\'t touching her.

Still, having a man sleep so close to her muddled her thoughts, and coupled with the worries in her head, she didn\'t sleep a wink for the past four days.

However, unconsciously she had gotten used to his aura and felt that sleeping beside him made her feel more at ease than when staying away from him. She yet had to find out why his blood was giving off such a pure aura to the point it seemed like he was...no...that is impossible...

But she knew that her Holy Godmother wouldn\'t have revealed her will to ask Viktor to stay for nothing. Could she have foreseen that something bad would happen in the Sacred Spirit Realm and that Viktor was the answer to saving them?

Seraphina put these thoughts to rest since right now she was discussing about the powers in this town with Viktor.

For the past four days, the two of them were familiarizing themselves with this town and also getting an idea of the local powers in this town.

They heard that the Union President was the most powerful man in town, and he had noble demonic blood in his veins. And also because he was one of the Great Demons among the three in this town.

Seraphina helped Viktor understand the ranking of demons here.

At the lowest, there were low-born demons like the pigmen, rabbitmen, and so on. These kinds of demons were the least powerful and were usually working for higher-ranked demons.

Ranked higher than them were first-born demons who were descendants of noble demon families, and few of them were actually present in this town as well. Denizens of this realm respected them because of their bloodline. They could very well be branch families of races like the Dark Elves and the Night Nagas. These two races governed this town officially though their true homes were someplace else. And the race who ruled over the entire Darkstar realm was the feared and respected Winter Dragons.

And then above them were the Great Demons, the heads of these three races who were actually descendants of the Three Ancient Demons, who in turn were the descendants of The Devil, who was said to be the first demon, king of chaos and the rival of the Guardian Gods.

However, even if the Devil was considered to be a myth by other realms, the people of the Darkstar Realm believed and worshiped them as if they were their god.

The Devil was said to have been purged by the Guardian Gods and had his soul extinguished even from the Naraka Realm, though the Guardian Gods granted mercy to the descendants of the Devil, and thus the Darkstar Realm was born.

"Is it true that the Winter Dragons are legit dragons? How come we didn\'t see any dragons so far? Are they shy?" Viktor asked curiously as Seraphina discussed with him about the demons while they were eating.
