Zeythrov Kyrvonthov was someone who was so deep in his envy that he hated, detested and loathed Aethrox Blazeshade to his very core.

Considering his so-called child, one he hadn't even known existed prior to a few decades ago, one he had with a fucking whore; had already surpassed him in everything.

From something as simple as strength to something as complex as becoming an important political peice, one that supposedly held the potential to shift the balance of power in Erythron.

Someone which two second phase families fought over like some hungry wolves.

Someone who despite being a mixed blood, one from such a poor background, someone who had once been subservient to his Kyrvonthov Family; had now enough worth to be noticed by two Demon Dukes.

Two exalted and lofty existences of Erythron. Not to mention the involvement of other families from other cities that also showed immense interest in Aethrox and regarded him highly for his potential.

These many things were somethings that Zeythrov Kyrvonthov couldn't stomach.

How come despite his noble heritage, he couldn't have any of these things? What was it that he didn't have that his bastard child had?

He was a pureborn from a Nobel Demon Family for fucks sake, so why couldn't he too have so much importance to himself? Where was he worthless? Or even Inferior to that mixed child of his?

How was he surpassed by him so much? How come Aethrox had talent so much greater then him?

Moreover, being a demon, these negative thoughts were further amplified in Zeythrov. Ceaselessly fueling his hatred for Aethrox. Considering, how can he accept that a whore's child was better then him?

He wouldn't, just as he wouldn't accept that mixed blood as his.

Consequently, though Zeythrov hated Aethrox Blazeshade for mocking him, hurting his ego and pride by simply existing in this world.

Nonetheless, he was also smart enough to compherend that a whore's child could never have the level of talent which he displayed, in other words he understood that the rumors about Aethrox having something on him, the thing which was the actual reason behind his strength were indeed a hundred percent true.

And if he could get his hands on that something; then surely, he would surpass his bastard child by miles in achievements.

He would become someone that other demons would only be able to look up to. Like it should've been, since he always knew that he was better then other of his generation.

No, Zeythrov was better then everyone else, evidently in his eyes everyone was beneath him. None were his equal, not even the two sovereigns of Erythron.

Furthermore, he was just that sure that once he got his hands on that thing the whore's child had, then it won't be long before he tramples over the two Demon Dukes of Erythron and becomes its new and only sovereign.

Regardless, Zeythrov wasn't a blind individual; He knew that with him being a newly ascended Inferior Greater Demon, he didn't stand even a remote chance against Aethrox Blazeshade.

He'd be obliterated within seconds. He'd be dead before even realizing what happened.

Therefore, through a peice of information Zeythrov Kyrvonthov had gotten ahold of sometime ago. He, after a series of back and forth serious negotiations with the anonymous party the information had led him to, was finally prepared to commence his plan in motion.

Accordingly, he waited for the right moment when everything would come under his favor automatically, and soon the day he had waited for finally came.

It was the day in the month when the tension was at its peak, when the pressure on Aethrox Blazeshade was just about right, being near its breaking point indeed yet still a step short of it.

The moment when Zeythrov struck.

He struck at Aethrox's one of the only few weaknesses, he targeted Primeroze Blazeshade; his Mother. One who was only a Demon Master at the time.

A term corresponding to the Sixth Ascension Rank of the First Phase: The Mortal Phase!.

Zeythrov Kyrvonthov knew that Aethrox biggest weakness was his Mother. And her being weak was indeed one reason for why he choose her while the other being, his hate towards her.

As perhaps, Zeythrov hated her even more then he even hated Aethrox, since if it weren't for her then the latter wouldn't be even be in this world. Otherwise, he could've easily choosen Aethrox's two daughters.

Who by the way, were even weaker then his Mother by whole two Ascension Ranks.

Anyways, afterwards it was very simple, considering with Primeroze's life in his hands Aethrox Blazeshade was instantly overwhelmed with a sudden burst of anger.

Which again resulted in him making many other mistakes, as while he battled wirh the 5 Higher Greater Demons that Zeythrov had bought with himself.

Even manging to kill two and severally injuring the other three.

However by then it was already too late, since another one of the Higher Greater Demon whose presence Aethrox had failed to sense because of him being in a mad frenzy, had already captured all the other four members of his family.

From his two daughters: Lilyroze and Dawnroze to Rozy his wife and even his son: Roxzeth. That was the point when the flames of wrath that burned his heart, died down.

It was an abrupt, like an instantaneous reaction, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water of reality on him that doused his maddening flames of wrath.

Moreover, as the comprehension of his current predicament sank in his mind, his expression quickly morphed from one of fury to one of hopelessness and powerlessness.

As from his ten minute short-battle, the commotion had already alerted all the powers spying on him.

And aside from all the Inferior and Higher Greater Demons that have gathered nearby to spectate and understand the reason behind the commotion happening.

There were even the Noble Demon from the six families of Erythron there; hovering above the family grounds of the Blazeshade Family.

Even two Noble Demon with a much denser presence then the prior six were also present at the scene. Evidently, they were from the Aelythron and Zelythron family.

Yet despite all odds, they did not intervene. Not even when Aethrox swore his absolute subservience to either one of them, so long as they helped him save his family.

Nonetheless, his pleas were met with a deaf ear and a firm rejection, rather they even placed a condition before him; that if he wanted to save his family then he must first provide them with his so-called secret.

Considering his subservience ment nothing to them. As assuming if they got ahold of that secret of his, then they could produce a thousand of him.

There stance was pretty clear, as long as the aggressors didn't kill Aethrox, they were free to do whatever they wanted with his family. In fact the two Noble Demons didn't even care about him.

As in there eyes, only his life mattered and not what became or what happened to him.

Alternatively, on getting there such response, Zeythrov Kyrvonthov couldn't control himself anymore and bursted out laughing aloud.

Furthermore, after there verdict, even if any of the other six Noble Demons had wanted to take upon Aethrox offer of absolute subservience, they couldn't.

As for one, regardless of there differences, them six combined were still no match for the two Noble Demons of the Aelythron and Zelythron Family.

In simpler words, they didn't dare go against the representatives of the two sovereigns of Erythron.

And despite everything else, even if these six somehow managed to work together and with an impeccable team-work successfully provided Aethrox Blazeshade the opportunity he needed to escape Erythron with his family, even then nothing would change.

He would still be hunted down, and would more then likely get captured within mere days, the demon greed wasn't a joke after all.

Whereas them; they too wouldn't have a grand fate awaiting them.

As, for there treasonous actions; there families would surely be annihilated thoroughly in the worst case scenario or in a better scenario there peoples would probably be made into slaves.

All because of there rebellious actions of going against Erythron's sovereigns. While they themselves would be executed for sure.

Meaning none where stupid enough here, to actually go and help Aethrox Blazeshade, certainly not when they already knew the consequences of there actions.

Not to mention, for all they knew, those two mysterious existence, who had ascended the Mortal coil could be watching everything which was happening currently.

Which was another reason for them to remain quiet.

Additionally, these aspects were something that Aethrox Blazeshade also understood pretty well.

He had accumulated enough experience to know why these demons, who were licking his boots and promising him benefits on benefits just to get him on there side, weren't coming to his aid now? When he needed it the most?

Either they were afraid or were waiting for him to use his secret. He really hated the one who had spread this bullshit about him.

But he despised these people even more, who were fools enough to believe this bullshit, which was all because his background did not match his talent, and because a mixed blooded demon was supposed to be inferior in there eyes.

He couldn't help but smile wryly. While the hate boiled within his blood, eating at his soul, currepting his heart, corroding his mind, moments away from consuming him whole.

His gaze turned cold... ... ... ... ...
