Chapter 346: The Light Dimension’s rule

The morning sun shone brightly in the sky. The clock had shown 09.31 AM when I sat down in front of the dining table and waited for my breakfast. Celia was busy chopping fresh fruit to accompany our pancakes. By her side, Foxy washed down a handful of blueberries. A melodic humming sound came out of their mouths.

As for Yuffy, she was standing in the middle of the room with her gaze shifted from one Specter to another.

“Good job. Now, vacuum the sofa. And you, there’s still some dirt in there. Clean it again.” Occasionally, orders came out of her mouth and her hand pointed to what she meant.

At least ten Specters were floating around and cleaning, washing, sweeping, mopping and cleaning all furniture. Even though they made my house look like a haunted one, they really helped us a lot. And Luna, she was watching TV to make sure Elenna didn’t use my picture again. Well, after what happened yesterday, I bet Elenna was more interested in the great demon now.

As I waited, I placed my elbow on the table with the back of my hand in front of my mouth. My other hand was on the table and my finger tapped it. My gaze stared blankly at the empty table, showing I was deep in thought clearly. Last night, even though I ended up listening to Puriel’s story like a good kid, I got a lot of information about the Light Dimension from her.

The Light Dimension was the opposite of the demon world. There, everything had rules and schedules. Even for small things like eating and sleeping. Each angel had their own duty since they were teenagers. The angel’s schedule did not change for at least 10 years before a big meeting when they could propose new schedules and assignments there. Also introduced who could replace their duties. At that big meeting, those who didn’t do their duty well would be punished. Let alone if an angel broke the rules. The punishment would be heavy and that was what happened to Gabrielle, Erebus’ mother. Although her crime was barely called a crime.

Gabrielle was one of the high angels. The human world’s guardian angel. Her duty was protecting the human from the noble demon and alarming the other angels if the demon lord tried to attack humans. She was also an important messenger who connected Aeros’ royal family with the Archangel of the Light Dimension. But there was one strict rule that she should not break. It was, whatever happened, she should not interfere in human affairs. Even if a human died in front of her. As long as it wasn’t because of the demon’s actions, she shouldn’t do anything. And Gabrielle broke it only because she helped some women from the bandits. Eventually, she was sentenced to live in the human world and lived as a human for several years which finally brought her together with Lord Damon’s father, Lord Xenos.

As for Puriel, her job was to take care of the newborn. All the angels were siblings. They were not born like humans. Instead, they were born from the fruits of a sacred tree. The fruit was shaped like a large egg that would hatch after gaining enough holy power. After that, the newborns would be guarded by several angels, one of them was Puriel. That was the reason why Gabrielle asked for Puriel’s help to pick Erebus up. She thought Puriel could sneak Erebus into the Light Dimension and raise him as an angel. But the harsh truth said otherwise.

And as Puriel stated, she was the youngest and cutest of all. That meant her age was no different from Celia when she was trapped in the crystal. That was the reason why despite her age, she still had a teenager mentality. Regarding her position as a high angel, it was because she had much higher power than the others. So she passed the high angel’s test easily and got that position at a young age.

Besides that, I also asked her why the other angels had not looked for her for the past 1000 years. Although she wasn’t sure, she said, this was because she also had violated the light dimension’s rules. After what Gabrielle did, the archangels set a new rule that whoever descended and tried to help Gabrielle would be alienated from the light dimension forever. They set the rules because many angels did not agree with Gabrielle’s punishment. One of them was Puriel. That was also the reason why she agreed to help Gabrielle and Erebus. Unfortunately, it ended badly.

After listening to Puriel’s story, somehow I felt that life in the light dimension was no different from a robot or a machine. Rules and laws controlled their entire life. Minor mistakes would get them in trouble and severe punishment. It was terrible. It made me feel grateful that I was born as a human, not as an angel. I meant, laws and rules were good things but theirs were too strict.

The plate that was placed in front of me broke my thoughts. My eyes fell on the colorful pancakes that filled my plate.

“Maple syrup or honey?” Celia asked. Her hands showed the bottles.

“Maple syrup,” I said.

Without saying anything, she poured some of it over my hot pancakes.

“Thinking about your responsibility again?” she asked after she managed to cover all my pancakes with the syrup and sat down beside me. Since Foxy couldn’t eat with us, she decided to sit down with Luna.

“I was thinking about something else,” I said. My hands took the cutlery and started cutting my pancake.

“What’s that?” Celia asked curiously.

“It’s about the angel,” I said before I popped a piece of pancake in my mouth.

“Did she come into your dreams again? What did she say?”

“A few things about the light dimension.” My hand kept moving to cut the pancake and put it in my mouth with some piece of fruit.

“Like the rules, the law and what happened 1000 years ago. Seriously, I’m so happy I was born a human. I can’t imagine if I was born there,” I continued.

“That bad?” Celia asked.

I nodded repeatedly. My mouth was busy chewing my food.

“Then, what do you plan to do with that angel?” Celia asked.

“Free her after I become a demon lord. What else?” I said in a nonchalant tone.

“But what about Ms Mia’s kingdom?” Celia asked worriedly.

The question made my hands stop.

“I don’t know…” I said in a grim tone. This was a dilemma for me. I hadn’t figured out what to do about it yet.

“But I think… I should start by being honest with her.” Mia’s Love Meter had already exceeded 5/10 after yesterday’s game. Although I was not sure, after a long dilemma I decided to be honest with her to find a way out of this problem together. It was impossible to find a solution to this problem without involving her.
