Chapter 649: Crazy Parents
Chapter 649: Crazy Parents
—–
Vheslia's parents had never thought their daughter would come back married already. They were still somewhat okay if she ever did it but with a human? Things completely changed by then, it wasn't something that their society accepted openly after all.
The two were mostly outcasts of society though, they had never liked a society that discriminated those that were not as talented in magic as others, and especially hated how they discriminated against their daughter for her sickness in her stomach.
They always called her an incompetent good for nothing despite how hard they always saw her studying magic and practicing alchemy, the two eventually grew resentful against society and its structure, the demon nation really needed some reformation, but because it was being led by people that only valued magic above all else, it was going to be hard for two people to even do anything.
This is why they simply decided to move to a faraway town and live quietly with their daughter, knowing what the society might even think about them didn't mattered to them anymore. However, even then, the society and their norms still affected them as they grew up.
The normalization of discrimination of other races was very clear in their minds, although as of now society had grown more "open minded" mostly out of business interests with other regions where they had to meddle with the other races, aside from business and perhaps tourism, demons still remained pretty much highly racist about other races than the demons themselves.
And its not like the gods could do anything to change their society norms, the two gods that took care of this region of the world constantly sent oracles to their priests about "stopping being so racist" and even blatantly asking them to "make friends with people of all races", but not even the words of ancient gods mattered, most of the time ignoring them when the priests came to tell their leaders.
Sometimes the priests were even killed for being accused of "lying for the sake of changing the people's common sense" or something as stupid as that. Because of this, the discrimination against other races continued as usual and there wasn't anything they could possibly do against it other than continue living their own lives.
Even Vheslia's parents could be considered slightly racists as they were used to dealing with other people and races, but didn't seem to like them to stay for too long, finding elves too arrogant and weak, beast folk as disgusting and smelly, humans as barbarians, and dwarves as annoying and small midgets that were weirdos.
The other races thought badly of demons as well, so the sentiment was very much mutual… However, the party that saved the world was composed of many races, these were the heroes of the world, people that didn't discriminated each other's races and lived in harmony with one another like a big family. They were indeed very surprised, but they were willing to accept them.
However, things changed when the bomb of Frank, a human, being the husband of Vheslia was dropped. And it became even worse when Vheslia added a few more words to go into detail about what had been happening lately.
"And I am already pregnant with his child…" she said.
"WHAAAAT?!"
The two parents fell over their own butts over the floor, they couldn't believe what they were hearing. After finally reuniting with their child, she came with a husband and pregnant to boot!
Wasn't this the worst possible outcome there could ever be?! Now she was going to be the mother of a human's child? She was going to bear a half-demon, people that is highly discriminated everywhere they go.
They're major outcasts of society, often chased down and hunted down for being rare and disgusting to both of the races they are, they are most of the time not welcomed by either, and are discriminated and made fun against by others.
She was going to bear such a child in this world!
Such a thing made them greatly impacted, the two demons felt like their happiness was now shattering into endless sorrow and frustration.
"Vheslia, did you had to tell them that much already?" asked Frank in surprise.
"They have to know! Demons are super racist, look, they're already getting angry… Sigh… I knew that aside from the emotional encounter, they would get angry at me for this," sighed Vheslia.
"Racist?" asked Frank.
Frank looked at the parents of Vheslia as they seemed to have lost all the light of their eyes and looked down into the floor in silence.
Her parents looked back at Frank as he sighed.
He walked towards them as he offered his hand.
"Please stand up, lets talk this out like civilized people." Said Frank.
Suddenly, Vheslia's father looked angrily at Frank, as he gritted his teeth. His eyes suddenly turned crimson red as magic began to overflow from his body.
"You bastard…! You dare take away my daughter from us, filthy human!" he roared.
"Eh?!" asked Frank in shock.
CLASH!
A sudden ray of darkness clashed against Frank coming from Vheslia's father!
Vheslia was left speechless, she never thought her beloved parents would change this much because of Frank… She knew they were racist because that was pretty much the norm in societies, especially the demons who were the most racist of the bunch aside from elves…
BOOM!
Frank waved his hand as he destroyed the ray of darkness, which exploded into black smoke in an instant. He looked down at the demons, who gritted their teeth against him and glared at him angrily. Especially Vheslia's father.
"Please, calm down. No matter how hard you try you can't damage me." Said Frank.
"Y-Youu… What did you do to my little and pure daughter?!" roared Vheslia's father, as black bolts of magic emerged around him, all pointing against Frank!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
BOOOOMMM!!!
The bolts of darkness clashed over Frank, but nobody around seemed to panic, they all knew this mortal-level magic would never damage him.
Amidst the black smoke, Frank's body emerged, completely undamaged, not even his clothes were damaged…
"Please, let's talk this out." He said patiently.
