[Bonus chapter] Would you be one?

The sound of drums and trumpet woke Hazel from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and blinked to adjust with the light only to see a long crowd waiting outside. 

Roads were covered with commoners who were staring at the carriage as if there was god in it. If only they knew that the man is a devil reincarnation.

Drums were played on their left side while crackers were burnt on their right.

  It was no less than a festival with the distribution of sweets and music following them.

"What is happening here?" she had only seen this kind of crowd on founding day. Though they were here to attend the founding day celebrations only, it was still 3 days away.

"Your father is showing how much did he love and miss you and how happy he is that we came to visit him.'' Hazel had thought that he would be furious with all the drama since the same person had tried to kill them last night, but to her surprise, he was smiling warmly as if he was touched.
