Chapter 45 Who Are You ? (2)

Four people that didn't look very old were currently digging a pit together.

'' This is wrong.'', one of them says with a troubled expression on his face.

'' What should we have done ?... go to the police so that we can be arrested for murder and assault... hmm ?'', another one replies to his statement.

'' We should hand him over to the police... he's a murderer isn't he ?'', a girl asks with uncertainty.

'' We don't have any proof of that.''

A girl that looked younger than the rest, held onto one of the boy's shirts and said in a shaking voice,

'' I'm s-scared brother.''

We're currently burying Joe's dead body.

No... scratch that, I'm burying him on my own while these shits are too busy asking me questions.

' I have to be considerate.', I remind myself.

I had to be especially careful with Eric, he maybe physically strong but mentally a baby might be stronger than him. I can't blame him much either since he's been through some shit.

I look at Angela who appeared to be glued to Eric and sighed.

This isn't going to work.

'' Why don't the two of you go inside the house ?....we'll come inside after completing this.''

We had decided to bury the body, in my mansion's backyard. The backyard was spacious and had a lot of stuff like a fountain, a resting area and even a garden.

It's funny thinking that Joe was going to be manure for my vegetables.

'' Okay.'', saying this Eric leaves along with Angela.

Lecia and I continue to dig silently for awhile.

I knew she was going to ask me questions about tonight at any moment now, so before she can shoot me any questions, I start to explain to her things from my point of view,

'' Lecia.... let me expl-'', just as I started to explain myself Lecia cuts me off and says,

'' You don't have to explain now, Adam..... I know that you're a good person and what happened today doesn't change that... at least for me.''

Oh, I was not expecting that.

How mature of her.... something felt a little odd here but I don't have time to dwell on every word she says, at least not right now.

'' Thank you... I was stuck on how to explain myse-'', I say but get cut off my Lecia yet again.

'' Oh.. you still have to explain yourself, but not when we're burying a fucking dead body !''

There was some panic in her voice.

'' Of course, I will.'', I assure her while cursing in my mind.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

I mean... this was going to happen either way, since I was already planning on telling her about everything that was going on.

I won't tell her nor anyone about me being the author of this world though. That would just make things weird.

After 15 minutes of digging, we finally make a pit big enough for Joe's body. Before throwing him in it, I remove his watch and clothes. I also wash his body with a pipe that was lying around the garden. Then with a little push, the body fell into the pit with a 'thud'.

Whew.. that was a lot more harder than I thought it would be.

The both of us silently walk inside the mansion.

I'm trying to think how I'll explain the whole situation to them.

We enter the dining hall, where Eric and Angela were currently making themselves comfortable. They were even eating biscuits.... where did they even get that ?

Che. fucking freeloaders.

The both of them get up, when they see us. Angela can't seem to look me in the eye... she's hiding behind Eric like a scared little girl... which she is, so I can't really blame her.

Lecia takes a seat at the dining table, opposite to Eric and looks at me expectantly.

Seeing her looking at me the duo opposite to her also does the same. Oof I'm getting the heebie-jeebies.

' Calm down.', I reassure myself.

'' The truth is that---''

Just like that I began to explain the true history of this world, the truth of the angels and demons.

They're all shocked and ask me a ton of questions, except Lecia.... she was strangely quiet.

After that I also tell them about Diane and Ken.. I mean why not right ?

This time even Lecia asks a lot of questions.. it seems that she's bonded with them during my absence. I tell her that even though they were not who she thought they were... they still care about her.

Of course, they ask me how I know all this shit.

I tell them that the demons contacted me and gave me concrete proof on the matter, I found out that Diane was going to side with the angels so I asked them for help.

The story felt very weak to me but they seemed to eat it up.

Lecia seemed angry but still strangely enough she still remained silent.

I also tell them about the demon princess, and how I had to save her.... I ask for their help in this matter. I could do it alone, but have subordinates would make things easier.

They needed some convincing to join me, but after making up some story of how a child was suffering without even knowing what her crime was... Eric accepted.

The princess must remind him of himself.

Did I say all that with this in my mind ?

No, of course not.

That would be a bad and petty thing to do.

Heh.

After Eric agrees, the rest follows suit.

So, after an hour long discussion on my plan, we finally decide to part way-

Untill Lecia suggests that they stay at our house since it was already this late.

They accept and get up to go to their rooms but before they do, Lecia says,

'' Since we're telling all our secrets right now.... mind if I tell mine ?''

She has a secret ?

She looks intently at me untill I nod my head.

She has a guilty expression on her face. This secret must be pretty bad huh ?

But I'm not that worried... I mean it's Lecia... what does she have to hide ?

She lets out a huge sigh and says,

'' I know your mother's identity.''

What ???
