EP.84|The Jester, The Devil Child, The Swan, The Bookworm, and The Wolf (Part 1)

“I still don't think this is a good idea.” Ben scoffed. “I agree, he hurt us once, who’s to say he won’t hurt us again?” Carlos agreed.

“He won’t. I know Milton, he won’t betray us again.” Giles assured them.

“And you know this how exactly? He’s the one who led Lucifer here in the first place!” CJ pointed out.

“Milton’s our best bet at finding Courtly, he knows Lucifer better than anybody.” Giles said.

“But there has to be another way to find Courtly other than Milton’s help.” Evie said as Giles shook his head.

“I know after everything he did it’ll be hard to accept the fact that he’s changed but we have to put that aside right now and focus on finding Courtly.” Giles stated.

“You’re his brother, you should know better than anyone how dangerous he is.” Hunter said.

“Of course I do, I also know just how much this mission means to him.” Giles looked thru the door window, leading to the infirmary to see Freddie healing Milton.

“He may not look it but Milton wasn’t always evil at heart.” Giles sighed.

“What do you mean?” Jasper asked. “He means that I wasn't always like this.” Milton groaned, getting up from the cot Freddie was healing him on, holding his stomach.

“I highly doubt that.” Mal scoffed.

“If you just shut up and listen you might learn a thing or two.” Milton grunted, sitting in a chair.

“Why would we ever listen to you?” Operetta scowled. “Cause, I wanna find Courtly just as much as you do.” Milton said.

“Why? It’s not like you ever cared about her. Or Giles for that matter.” Ben rolled his eyes.

“Look kid.” even though he was still severely injured, he somehow had the strength to wrap his large hand around Ben’s throat and pin him against the wall.

“You maybe be king, but you don't know a damn thing about me. You say I didn’t love Courtly? Or cared for my brother? Please, you don't know half the shit I went thru.”

“Some people aren’t fortunate enough to be born into a family where everything is bring to you on a silver platter.”

“But the rest of us had to struggle to get to where we are today. And that struggling got the people I loved hurt.”

“I’ve loved Courtly since the day I saw her with my own two eyes, and I’ve loved my brother since the day he was born.”

“You have no idea what it’s like to lose the person you love to your worst enemy!”

“The entire time I was knocked out all I saw was Courtly’s face and Lucifer ripping her away from me!”

“All I ever did was love Courtly! You have no idea how much love I have for that damn Jester!”

“I get it that you “King” and think you know everything and your the strongest ever, but where I come from, babies have way higher Magi levels than you.”

“Right now, we’re both on the same team. But, if you ever say some shit like “I don't love Courtly or my brother” again, I’ll show you just how much evil is in my heart.”

Milton let go of Ben’s neck, causing Ben to fall to the floor.

“That goes for all of you. Go it?” Milton threatened. “Y-Yep.” the group agreed, shivering a bit.

“Wait, what did you mean by “where we come from?”” Carlos asked. “Should we tell them?” Giles raised his eyebrow.

“Might as well, they should know what their up against.” Milton shrugged his shoulder.

“Long ago, there were 4 realms. The realm of the Animals, the realm of the Demons, the realm of Laughter, and the realm of the Black Swan Princess. That's where me, Milton, Courtly, and Lucifer are from.” Giles narrated.

“Mamma, I'm tired, can we go home now?” a small girl with blonde hair yawned.

“In a minute, Courtly, why don't you play with the other kids in the garden?” Courtly’s mother suggested as Courtly nodded.

She walked out to garden to see four kids, 3 boys and a girl, playing tag in the hedge maze.

“Lucifer! Stop running fast!” The girl with long black hair and white tips complained, chasing the boy with black hair and red tips.

“You stop being so slow!” The boy with the red tips laughed.

Courtly noticed one of the boy's sitting on a stone bench reading a book. He had scruffy white, almost silver, hair.

“Aren't you gonna play tag?” Courtly asked, curiously.

“No, I'd rather read.” the boy said, staring at his book. “What's the book about?” Courtly asked.

“A boy who's a prince and falls in love with a demon girl. But they couldn't be together so they seek off to see each other in private everyday.” the boy explained.

“Sound cool.” Courtly smiled as she got up, soon being tackled down.

“What the heck!” Courtly yelled, she looked up to see a boy with black hair and blue eyes.

“Milton! What did you do know?!” The girl with black hair and white tip scolded.

“Lucifer knocked me into her, Swan!” Milton shortly explained.

“I don't care. You just can't tackle random strangers! And stop calling me Swan! You know I hate that nickname!” Swan scolded, pushing Milton off of Courtly.

“It’s a good nickname for the Black Swan Princess.” Lucifer ruffled Swan’s hair.

“Shut up.” Swan pouted, her cheeks turning a little pink. “I’m sorry I tackled you.” Milton apologized. “No, it’s fine.” Courtly smiled.

“Oh! I know you! You’re the girl who’s the Realm of Laughter Princess.” Lucifer pointed out.

“Yeah, that’s me.” Courtly waved slyly. “Well, I’m Swan, that’s not my real name but just call me Swan for now, Black Swan Realm Princess.”

“Lucifer is the Realm of the Demons Prince.”

“The one who tackled you is Milton Grimm, and the one who’s reading is Giles Grimm, are the Princes of the Realm of the Animals.”

“Hey.” Giles said, waving, still looking down at his book.

“Will you get your head out of a book for once, Giles!” Milton scolded as he tried to slap Giles upside the head but Giles grabbed his wrist and flipped him over.

“Can’t you see I’m reading here?” Giles asked, stating the obvious. “Yeah, but you didn’t need to throw me.” Milton groaned.

“It’s about time we have another girl in our group.” Swan slung her arm over Courtly’s shoulder.

“Wait? I’m part of your groups?” Courtly asked. “Well yeah, you seem pretty cool.” Lucifer smiled.

“I guess I am pretty cool.” Courtly agreed. “Is nobody gonna notice the fact that Giles just friken flipped me!” Milton scolded.

“You’re fine.” Giles said. “Oh shut up.” Milton muttered. “So? What should we call you?” Lucifer questioned. “What?”

“Yeah, everyone in our group has nicknames. You already know Swan’s nickname. Giles’s is Bookworm. Milton's is Wolf. And mines is Devil Child.” Lucifer explained.

“So, what should your be?” Lucifer tapped his chin.

“How about Jester?” Milton suggested, trying to get up, but Giles flipped him again. “I like it.” Swan smiled.

“Welcome to the crew, Jester.”

~A/N~

Hey guys! Look who got an update in! So, what is this new Wattpad Next Beta thing? It seems kinda confusing to me.

Luckily, none of my books are on that Next Beta list thing so that's good. Honestly all those book have like over a thousand reads maybe even over a million reads!

I highly doubt that my book will get so popular to the point where I'll get over a thousand reads but we are over 700! YAAA!!

Anyways, what do you think Swan's real name is? What dose Lucifer want with Courtly? Will Milton play nice with the VK's or go back to his evil roots?

Find out in the next episodes of Good At Being Bad!

Stay villainous,
