In one of the dark alley in Variesz City, a girl can be seen undressing a gorgeous dress while her hair which once shines with golden light start to become dimmer and turn into a silvery blue color. Her golden eyes also turn dimmer same as her hair, revealed yellow eyes under the golden gleam.
The dress went off her body in no time, replaced by a nun habit which makes the girl's eyes shine with happiness as she wore it.
'Nun habit is the best after all!'
The girl is, of course, Villia, and not far from her are her newly acquired slaves who are standing watch while she changes her clothes.
"Did all of you wait long?"
The were-beast girl — Media White and vampire boy — Aurel Sevasti Andrimund both turned to look at Villia after they heard her words and shock can be seen written on their faces when they saw Villia clothes.
"Master! Or should I call you Sister?" Media ask Villia with a playful smile, while Sevas make a grunt after he saw her clothes. The difference between the previous Villia and the current Villia is like heaven and earth! If they didn't get connected with the slave link that connects them and Villia, they might doubt that the one in front of them is really the one who buy them as her slaves.
"Just call me Sister when I wear a habit…" Villia pat both Media and Sevas head after she said that word, which gains the smile and grunt from both Media and Sevas respectively.
Villia know the smile in Media face is faked, no...even her personality when she faces her right now is faked. As for Sevas…she can see that he's much more honest with his body language and that he didn't trust her even a bit. Still, she believes that they will come around sooner or later because she's pretty confident with her charm!
"How is her situation?" Villia turns to look at the Succubus who still hasn't regained her awareness. Sevas shook his head after getting asked by Villia which gain a sigh from her.
"I see…then let see what I can do after we arrived at our next destination."
With that, the four of them start to walk toward Maria House.
***
"Will she comes soon...? It's already this late at night…. She still needs to notify her friends first after the auction, which means it will be later than now…but…"
In one of the shabby house located in the slum district, is a woman who walks around the house full of anxiety as she waits for the one who supposed to come to help her daughter. Those who come to this auction today will immediately recognize her faces. Mainly because she's the one who faithfully serves the lady that took the most attention in the entire auction.
She's the prostitute who serves Villia tea before... Maria.
From the moment she receives her salary till now, she has started waiting for the supposed guest while taking care of her daughter who's still sleeping like a baby on top of her bed.
She can't wait…the anxiety keeps building up as she waits and waits…!
'Please be here soon!'
"Mum…?"
While she's walking around the house anxiously, a low voice appeared behind her, which makes Maria stop her current action and go to her daughter side.
"Cecilia... You awake my dear?" Maria says with gentle voice while caressing her daughter's head
"Wai ar yu walkin aroun de rum?" Cecilia weakly lifts her hands and put it on top of her mother hands, which makes the anxiety she has feels until now disappear in an instant as she feel her daughter warmth from her cold hands.
"It's alright Cecilia…mom is just waiting for someone to help you, dear…" Maria caresses her daughter head which makes her daughter giggled and said. "Dun wurry…I'm fain…mum…I'm healty."
"Yes, you are…" Maria keeps caressing her daughter head with some tear leak out of her eyes, which noticed by her daughter and make her daughter worry about her.
"Mum ar yu cry…? Ceci…bad?"
"No dear…Mom's just happy because mom will always be with you…from now on…mom will always stay with you and watch you grow up. No matter what happen…we will always be together. You don't want to be together with mom forever and ever?"
"Um..Ceci en mum! Toghether! Wi wil elweys stey together! Pro-mis!"
"Yes…it's a promise…"
*knock* *knock*
The sounds of someone knocking on the door can reverberate through the room while Maria spends her time with her daughter.
'She's here!'
Maria become happy after she heard the sounds of the door. There's only one person who will come to her house tonight, and it's the one who will save her daughter! Maria kindly smiles at her daughter after that and promptly opened the door.
"I've been waiting for you Mi-!?"
"Hehe, …you've been waiting for us, Maria?"
Several groups of man appear from the gap of her house, and Maria who notices that it's not the one she's waiting for quickly close the door. But the difference in strength between a woman and a man is revealed in this very moment, as the man easily slam the door open and kick Maria back into her house.
*Thud!*
"MUM!!!"
Cecilia shout as she saw her mom got kicked by the group of man, yet no strength exist in her body. She can't get up…all because of her sickness…she can't move, or even talk properly. She feels…powerless…
"I heard you have stopped becoming a prostitute Maria…"
The man who kicks Maria grin when he said that word, walk inside the room, followed by his followers.
"Hayes…!"
Maria looks hatefully at the man — Hayes as he entered the room.
Hayes is one of the leaders in this slum, he has long wanted to play with her, but because of Night Flowers protection, he can't do anything to her or even her daughter…but today….! After hearing the news that Maria has stopped becoming a prostitute, he immediately comes to pay her a visit.
Just imagine the scene that will happen soon enough make him and his followers grin at their luck and the mother and daughter pair bad luck.
"Let's pla- Geehoookh!"
Before Hayes can say the word, he has already flown off to the left side of the room and hit the wall hard. Standing on his previous position now is a 11- 13 years old boy, swinging his reddened hands as he looks at the ring on his finger with dejection. "Whoever can properly fight with this ring on their hand must be a crazy"
"Who are you!?"
One of Hayes follower shout at the boy, but before he can say anything, he can feel something has kicked his groin as foam formed from her mouth, and he passed out.
"Heeeeh ~ Even though I'm weakened to this extent because of this, I can still beat some weak human with one kick." A girl with a white ear and tail muttered as she looks at them with a smile. "Wanna fight with me?"
"We-we-we-were beast!!!"
"Why's there a were-beast here!?"
"Wait…look carefully! They're slaves!"
"That means…"
"My…my…I thought this is going to be simple treatments…but it seems that someone else wants to get treated for free…"
A voice appeared behind them, when the remaining four panicked, trying to figure whether to run away or not. All of them turned their heads after they heard her voices only to see a nun pushing a wheelchair behind them. But horror starts to overwhelm them as they look at the shadow of the person who sits on the wheelchair.
The shadow has two horn, bat-like wing, and a tail on her body. While they can't fully see her face, they have already know what the shadow is...
"D-demon!"
It's unclear who say that word but panic starts to overwhelm them as the men tacitly agree to split up where 2 go to the left, and the other go to the right.
"Both of you handle the left one, I'll handle the right." After seeing they're trying to run away, Villia ordered Sevas and Media to chase after the two on the left, and chanted a spell to deal with the two on the right.
"Let's end this farce, don't worry…I'll treats you nicely…"
「Blindness (Light)」
A blinding light suddenly appears on the night street caught both of the men unprepared and blinded their eyes in an instant. What they feel can't be described just with the word 'hurts', but Villia wouldn't let them have time to adjust as she throw darts coated with Numbing poison toward them which hit both targets and make them fall to the floor.
Not long after she defeat the two of them, Media and Sevas return to her with two men who have both passed out and put them on the floor.
"Good Work." Villia praise as she pats their head again.
Villia only pats their heads for a while, and then turned her face on Maria and immediately enter the room.
"You must be Maria…Layla has spoken a lot about you and requested me to look at your daughter condition. Ah…is the girl at the bed your daughter?" Villia notices a girl that is hardly sitting and leaning on the bed. It seems that she has tried to get up and save her mother even when her body wouldn't let her to, but what she can do is limited to lean on the wall and try to stand.
"Cecilia…" Maria immediately rise from the floor, even though her stomach still feels some pain from getting kicked, she still chooses to bear with it and come to her daughter side to help her rest again.
The scene of this mother and daughter make Villia smile, even so, she hasn't forgotten the main culprit which destroy the harmony is still in this room and command both Media and Sevas to tie them up all so they can't escape.
"Sista…u r stron…yur laik is braig en beautiful…ken I…bekham stron…lik u tu?"
Cecilia who has gone back to sleeping position looks at Villia with determination and strength that shouldn't exist in her sickly body. The flames of her life burn brighter than any which Villia has seen before…no…it can be said, her desire…the desire for power…the desire to become healthy…the desire to protect her mom…is what makes it brighter than ever.
"Of course…but why did you want to become strong?"
"I wan to plotekk mum!" Cecilia shouts with determination, make a smile appear on Villia face as she caresses her little head and replied.
"Is that so…good girl...good girl...your mother must be blessed to have a good daughter like you. Then...Sister will work hard!"
