Chapter 1 - OneShot (Random)

𝙸 𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚛𝚞𝚜𝚑 𝚖𝚢 𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚜 𝚜𝚘 𝚜𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚢.

"I've warned you not to make me snap." A petite girl with long luscious silver locks hissed at the king.

Her golden eyes cutting through him like butter. The king fell to the floor with a battered look as he cried and begged the girl for mercy.

The girl however took pleasure in seeing him do so as she sneered at him openly, changing her expression ever so slightly "I guess you're not to be blamed..." She sighed.

"T-thank you my lord!" The king kneeled down as he stayed glued onto the floor, trembling in fear to which made the sadistic girl's mood more pleasant.

The king didn't move at all, scared that he might displease her with any actions he might make. "I guess your son has to take all the blame for making me snap hmm..." She pondered after a long time of keeping silent.

"M-my son... No not him please! He's stupid and ignorant! I'll teach him to become better! I swear!" He pleaded earnestly, knocking his head against the floor continuously until his forehead began bleeding.

Earning a look of displease from the girl as she walked away from the throne she was previously sitting on, "Hmm... We'll see if he looks... Sincere about it than." She sighed, rolling her eyes.

"I doubt he will though... Which makes this much funner than one would expect." She murmured under her breath, a malicious grin spread across her face.

She held her hand up and a bright light enveloped the king's figure.

He had already kept his eyes shut as he thought he would die from this girl.

"Hurry up and call them back in already. We've taken up quite some time." The girl commanded, as the king looked around flustered. "O-of course." He replied as he stood up from his previous position and went back to the throne.

Soon... Just a little longer and this girl wouldn't exist much longer... The king thought with a triumph smirk.

"Allow the queen and my son to come in." The king commanded as he sat on his throne stiffly, what he said seems normal to others but to the royal guards.

Queen hmm...? He doesn't have one though.

The way the king said it to the guards meant for them to take out that 'thing' to seal the demon, "As you command!" The guards outside replied back seriously before the doors went wide open.

The girl stood there facing the king with a ghost smile, a creepy one, which kept the king on edge.

Her golden eyes staring at him like a hawk as if she could see through his every move and plans.

The king gulped nervously but continued smiling at the girl to keep up the appearance of the two of them having a pleasant talk.

Only... The talk wasn't actually all that pleasant.

*SPLASH*

Suddenly the petite girl was covered in some bloody looking water as she turned to look behind her.

She clicked her tongue in displeasure to see a clumsy brunette maid who tripped and fell onto the floor.

Keeping up her facade she smiled politely at the maid fallen on the floor whom was hiding a smirk.

Beneath her polite smile was a murderous demon ready to kill her as the aura emitted from her body became bone chilling.

The maid looked up with a pitiful look but she froze as she saw the girl, she was expecting someone else to be in the court rather than the demon girl.

Her sticky hair covered her face as she looked like the girl from the grudge or the ring.

"M-My apologies! T-this lowly servant didn't mean to! Please give this servant a punishment!" She exclaimed with fear.

After all, being punished was much better than getting that demon mad at you.

"It's alright..." The girl replied with a polite smile, which made the maid realise how bad of a move she made.

Danger... I'm in danger... I'm gonna die.

"Now!" Some guards roar out as they threw a net over the drenched petite girl.

The maid looking on with confusion.

From the outside it would look like they were capturing a poor little girl, but the people inside the castle knew better than to take sympathy on her.

She is the demon kid after all. They thought simultaneously.

They all diverted their attention away from her and began working stiffly, pretending not to hear her silent pleas and sobs which invoked pity and heartache in many hearts.

This was when the priest came from behind the guards and took out a talisman, smacking it on the girls back to ensure it sticks before clasping his hands together, murmuring a silent prayer.

It was silent for a few seconds which caused everyone to be on edge.

"ARGHHHHH!" She groaned in anguish suddenly which shocked the people hearing it to their core

It was like a... Demon cry Which reverberated throughout the kingdom

Her screams slowly quieten down to a bone-chilling silence, "You want... To... Seal me? AHAHAHAHA!" The petite girl laughed maniacally before she turned her gaze towards the king.

The king not expecting her sudden actions, froze in fear.

"Alright... I'll make that happen... However, be warned. If you ever make her snap... The consequences wouldn't only be your head that is rolling on the floor." She warned with a grin which seemed demon-like.

Slowly her eyes closed as she collapsed onto the floor, her flowy silver locks slowly turned black like midnight ink as the people peered curiously at her fallen figure.

The priest cautiously approached her and flipped her over, the girl stayed limp as they breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly her finger twitched as she opened her eyes slowly.

The others quickly backed up, only leaving the priest who sat beside her body trembling slightly, her eyes snapped open as he saw an emerald eye colour which shocked him.

It fits completely with her black hair, enhancing her large round eyes and her sharp features.

She was like, a mini goddess who fell on earth.

However the priest kept his guard up as he helped the girl up gently, she stared at him before she opened up her mouth to speak. "Where... Am I?" She asked as everyone gasped in shock once more.

The king kneeled down and thanked the gods for making the girl normal as he smirked inwardly at the scene before him because he doesn't have to deal with the 'demon's' request anymore.

Or so he thinks.

"Do you remember your name?" The priest asked gently still on edge.

"Hmm... Demon?" The first thing she said, raised the alarm of everyone as they quickly kept her away from the word demon, afraid that she would remember what she was like previously.

"Your name is Elissa." The priest cut in, glancing at the panicking guards and maid.

They were giving a silent prayer and looked relieved that the priest stepped in.

"Yes Elissa dear, you were suppose to be my son's fiance." The king shamelessly say with a kind smile as the others gaped at him.

However they quickly stopped their actions as they realised that he was still the king and they cannot show such a rude manner towards him.

They quickly gave a deep bow and left the court quickly, leaving only the priest behind.

"Here are some more talismans just incase." The priest said carefully as he passed the extra talismans to the king with a slight bow.

All the while, the girl was just murmuring under her breath, her emotions conflicting.

"Elissa my dear... You were so excited about the marriage that you tripped and fell." The king continued his excuse

"Do I have... Parents?" She asked with her sparkly large doe emerald eyes.

"My dear... Your parents passed away, so they left you in my care. Since you're going to be my son's fiance, you may also call me father than." He said shamelessly without batting an eyelid.

I have to tie this demon to this kingdom and control her. Was his only thought.

• • • • • •

The king had to entrust Elissa to someone trustworthy, so he asked or forced one of his subordinate to adopt her.

The subordinate, although afraid of the girl. Agreed to do so since he could take his own personal revenge against the monster who tormented his children.

He brought her in with the orders of the king and abused her, giving her the bare minimum she could live off on a piece of cold stale bread everyday with a glass of water.

His kids also took joy in seeing her suffer so they tormented her as well, pulling her hair, ruining her food, slapping her and degrading her.

The subordinate did not care about the childs well-being at all so he kept it a secret from everyone else including the king since he was warned not to harm her by the king himself.

That once could be lively and adorable, polite girl became snarky and rude.

Cold to everyone she would meet.

Why should I trust anyone if their just going to hurt me in return. Was what the girl would always think.

Elissa was still however, the prince's fiance.

The only reason why she didn't confront the marriage with the king was because he helped her...

At least that's what she thinks although she has her doubts about the incident.

Especially after years of bullying, she began having another side.

It was her... Friend or family you could say... But most would call it her 'darkside' if they ever knew.

She was the only one that Elissa trusted fully, albeit a bit reluctant in the beginning.

Her other side proved that she was trustworthy to herself.

Thus Elissa fully accepted her as a part of herself.

Elissa has also heard rumours of her fiance with another commoner girl.

Normally one would be upset or jealous about it but she wasn't the everyday typical teenage girl so she just sighed in annoyance.

She was sitting beside the windowsill... Waiting for something to change.

Anything... She whispered to herself.

Her room was allocated at the attic of the house so most people in the house will steer away from the top floor.

Elissa herself, was the one who kept the attic neat and tidy with some skills that she learnt from observing others.

Why don't you just... Slip out~ Her other side, which she named Eli said.

Hmm... But how? I'm pretty sure I'll die, falling from this distance. Elissa asked.

We don't jump off! Just leave it to me. Eli said reassuringly.

...

Do you not trust me~? Eli asked with a pouty tone.

Alright I'll leave it to you than. Elissa replied closing her eyes and submerging with the background in her mind.

"Eli... Now" She whispered, granting Eli the permission to control her body.

I don't think you should see what I do... Eli trailed off in her thoughts.

Why so?

It's bloody and disgusting. Was what she replied back simply yet bluntly.

Alright than... She sighed, thinking back on her memories.

• • • • • •

I got out of the mansion~ Came her cheerful tone, calling her awake from her almost foreign memories.

Elissa opened her emerald eyes as she found herself to be in the alleyway of the street.

Thanks. Elissa replied with a slight tug on her lip.

Ooh~ You should see the expression you're making~ Eli exclaimed excitedly.

...

And that was the end of their conversation.

Elissa didn't have to change her looks since she already looks to be like a commoner.

However her mannerisms and aura emitted out was simply breathtaking.

Her back is straight as she walks daintily with light footsteps, glancing at the people who seem to be beneath her.

Even her face looks like one of the nobles, she was simply too... Beautiful to be a simple commoner.

Even so... She looks much more prettier than any noble girls.

The aura she emitted made the people feel that she was an untouchable noble.

Her placid and disinterested look on her face further improved her noble look as the people walking pass her would always stop and stare at her.

Her black bangs framed by the side of her face further emphasised on her glowing emerald eye colour which was extremely rare to be in a commoners blood.

Her flowing black hair tied up in a simple ponytail showed her delicate milky white neck, furthermore, the tiny peeks of her collarbones made every guy walking pass her gulp in lust.

Everyone made way for the walking girl as they stared at her with their mouths wide open.

Her hair which was blew back by the wind added on a more heavenly look to her, especially since her hair was incredibly long for a girl.

Even though her hair was tied up, it nearly touched the floor, bouncing about in the breeze wildly yet elegantly.

I stole some money for you as well. Eli said with a smirk, knowing what Elissa truly wants.

Thanks again. Elissa said before she ended up in front of a sweets cafe since she wanted to try the kingdom's most renowned sweets.

The matcha mousse cake.

Thankfully for the odd hour, there were only three people queueing up in front of her.

She stood behind a guy with sleek yellow hair combed back, with broad wide shoulders which seems to have some muscles on him.

The suit he was wearing further enhanced his slim yet masculine figure which made some girls stop to stare at him.

Elissa however, obviously doesn't give a care in the world about him. But only focused on his back since there's nothing else to do while waiting in line.

After a while of the line barely moving the guy turned around and said with a closed eyed smile. "May you please stop look-" He spoke halfway before he froze as he gazed upon Elissa's face.

Elissa merely glanced at him with her emerald eyes, knowing what he was going to say without him completing his sentence.

She gave a slight nod before looking down at her fingers, fiddling with it.

That guy however only kept staring at her with a puzzled look, making Elissa feel a bit awkward around him.

"Sir? Sir!? How many people will be joining you?" The server called out to the unmoving man, as he seemed to have snapped out of his daze.

He turned to face the server with an embarrassed look before saying, "One only."

"Alright, if you may. Please follow me." The server responded as Elissa nodded her head since she found him being professional at his job.

"Hello miss, will there be anyone joining you?" A different sever came up and ask.

Elissa shook her head, not willing to speak. The people will act weirdly around her whenever she speaks, they will look at her with a daze and their face will be flushed red.

So ever since then, Elissa decided not to speak much.

She was escorted to a table as the server pulled out the chair for her to sit down, handing the menu to the lady as he smiled at her.

"Please call for a server once you're finished with your order." He said with a smile.

"Thank you." Elissa responded softly with a slight smile, extremely satisfied with his professional attitude.

The server went bright red as he stuttered, "I-I hope you have a great day!"

Walking off from the confused Elissa who sat on the chair.

Special service? Elissa pondered, talking about the server pulling out the chair for her, since she didn't notice any other server doing that for their guest.

Must be because he thinks you're a noble in disguise. Eli replied teasingly.

Mn. Elissa agreed, not at all annoyed at Eli's teasing.

She briefly glance through the menu, going straight for what she wanted to get.

She looked at the price and counted her money swiftly before keeping it in her pockets.

50 Gold coins? That's more than enough. Thanks Eli. Elissa thought cheerfully.

You're welcome, I know you the best. Eli chuckled.

She put up her hand at a server, diverting his attention to her as he walked towards her.

"Yes? What would you like Milady?" He asked respectfully.

"I would like a matcha mousse cake, accompanied by 20 macaroons that should all be in different flavours and to top it off, I want milk tea as well." Elissa told her orders to the server as she looked at her dumbfounded.

That much food? Maybe she just wants one slice of cake... I'll just clarify with her.

"So how many slices would you want?" He asked with a smile, his cheeks was dabbed with a little tint of red blush.

"Slices?" She asked with a cute frown, "I would like the whole cake please." She said.

"T-the whole cake?" The server asked confusedly.

"Yes... Do you need me to repeat my order?" Elissa asked with a slight frown.

"N-no, I will be right back with your order milady." He quickly replied.

Pfftttt the look on his face was hilarious!

...

Come on, don't tell me you didn't see it?

Of course... I didn't. I was thinking about the sweets I'll eat.

... Of course.

"I-I'm sorry milady but will anyone be joining you at this table?" A maid came up and asked with a panicked tone.

She shook her head in reply as the maid sighed in relief, "May you please sit with one of the other customers since a noble lady needs a seat? She specifically pointed to your seat as well." The maid asked.

Elissa narrowed her eyes at the panicking girl as she saw the large noble lady looking at the maid with annoyance.

Elissa thought about it and sighed but nodded at the maid, standing up from her table.

"Oh thank you milady! If you didn't, I wouldn't know what she would do to me." The maid shivered slightly as she escorted her to find a next table.

Which coincidentally they stopped by the blonde haired guy, "If you have another empty seat, may you please let this lady sit down with you?"

"Of course. You may sit with me." He said with a gentlemanly smile.

Elissa nodded mutely once more as the maid thanked the both of them with teary eyes before she dashed towards the noble lady.

"So what's your name?" He asked after an awkward silence passed.

Elissa just stared at him blankly, not bothered to speak to him.

"Ah... Sorry if I seemed rude, my name is Austin. May I know yours my lady?" He asked once more with a blinding smile to others.

Elissa didn't react at all to his smile, Austin didn't care that she kept quiet so he continued talking to her.

Telling her a lot of unnecessary information about adventures, political and trivia information.

Even rumours that were going around the kingdom.

Elissa's eye twitched as he just went on and on about the random topics.

"Elissa." She spat out looking at him grumpily.

As soon as she said that, flowers appeared at the background blooming brightly as he beamed at her. "Nice to meet you Elissa."

"En." She nodded disinterestedly.

"Here's your match mousse cake, 20 macaroons and milk tea milady. And a slice of cheesecake and chamomile tea for you sir." The server said, placing the plates down as Elissa's eyes unknowingly lit up.

"Thank you..." She said awkwardly at the server as he nodded and bowed politely at her before he left.

She ignored the man gapping at her order and began eating the matcha mousse cake first.

Savouring the flavour in her mouth as she tasted the ingredients placed in the cake.

Gonna buy those ingredients? Eli asked.

Mn. She nodded.

After she devoured the cake, she felt a lingering gaze on her as she looked up.

Seeing that it was Austin who was looking at her, she raised an eyebrow at him curious as to why he was staring at her.

"Elissa... I didn't know you were so hungry..." He trailed off, staring at my clean plate..

"Mn." She replied as she continued eating, placing the macaroons in her mouth as her face brightens, enjoying each and every individual flavour made.

The chef who was curious with the large order he had was watching from behind the kitchen, crying silent tears of joy that a beautiful lady enjoyed his sweets.

Those other noble girls simply showed no expression on their face while eating it thus it made him feel that his sweets were not good.

However, this girls face was like a blooming flower. One look and you can tell that she really enjoyed the sweets.

After those snacks Elissa ate, she gently picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly without making a sound.

The customers were staring at her as she ate those food, curious as to how elegant and quick she could eat all those food while still maintaining grace and beauty.

Elissa's posture from the beginning to the end never changed as she sipped the tea in bliss.

She opened her eye and saw Austin's gaze, he was also sipping on the tea like she is doing.

"How old are you Elissa?" He asked.

Elissa same as always didn't reply, she was about to stand up and leave when the maid rushed towards her.

"Milday, please don't leave yet. I told the chef of what you did and he said he wanted to make more matcha mousse cake for you. You can even take it away if you want." The maid said with gratitude.

"Mn." Elissa immediately said as she relaxed her own muscles.

"If you tell me your age... I'll buy you some macaroons." Austin bargained as Elissa glances up at him.

"How many." She asked with a businessman tone still sipping on her tea.

"Uhm... 20?" Austin questioned himself.

"Deal. I'm turning 16 and you better not forget your end of the deal." Elissa say without care.

"Oh! Are you attending the academy than?" He asked excitedly.

"Academy...?" Elissa murmured under her breath.

"No." Elissa replied.

"Milady do you want to take away the cake?" The maid came by the table to ask.

"Alright." Elissa nodded at the maid.

I got free cake. She smiled blissfully.

She quickly came back to her senses and stopped smiling, both Austin and the maid was staring at her with a mesmerized look.

"I'll be waiting outside." Elissa sighed as she stood up.

"Wait! What about your macaroons?" He asked, chasing after Elissa whom quickly left the store.

"... Bring it to me now." She demanded.

Austin found her demanding side to be cute as he smiled, "Alright." He said as he signalled with his finger.

A pink box appeared in his hands as he passed it to the unblinking girl.

Elissa glanced at it and nodded.

At the same time the maid came rushing out with the box, passing it to Elissa to carry.

Elissa nodded gratefully at the maid as the maid gave her a smile in return before leaving.

...

She was walking around the stalls looking for ingredients to buy, when some guy fell on her.

He was dressed in rags and his long shaggy hair covered his dirty face. His hands were cuffed together as he glared at her sharply.

Is that a slave? Elissa asked curiously.

Yep~

"My apologies young lady!" A loud voice called out as he walked towards them.

He grinned at Elissa invitingly and stared at her face with shock, "Such a beautiful young lady. I apologise for this stupid slaves behaviour, I'll punish him... Severely." He said, licking his lips sadistically.

"It's alright... May I ask if I could buy him?" Elissa asked with a bored look.

"O-of course young lady, if you would follow me to get the contracts... But are you sure you want this one? He's weak and ugly." The man asked.

"Nn." Elissa nodded, not caring about his looks. She looked through the contract briefly and asked, "How much."

"He's for 1 gold young lady." He said with a conniving smile.

He's lying to you~

I know... But it's not my money anyways.

Hehe~ I see.

"Here." Elissa tossed the coin to him as she walked out with the fearful slave following behind her.

"Sorry." He trailed off with an unremorseful tone as she only glared at him frostily.

"Just shut up and follow me." Elissa said with a glare as the slave glared back at her secretly.

She went to a bathhouse and glanced at the man walking behind her. "I would like for someone to bath him." She said coldly.

"I'm sorry young lady but... He's extremely filthy and would make other customers feel uncomfortable." The receptionist said.

While in fact he doesn't want to touch a slave who could have an illnesses or any diseases.

"I said... Give.Him.A.Bath." She commanded spitting out each of her words individually, slapping one gold coin on the counter.

"O-of course!" He stammered as he saw the shinning gold coin, dragging the slave into the showers as he called for more people to help.

Why did you buy him?

To teach him to bake desserts so he can make it for me anytime. Maybe become my bodyguard as well...

But you have me to protect you~ Eli pouted.

But I don't wanna trouble you all the time... You need your rest as well.

How thoughtful Elissa~ Eli said with a grin spread over her face.

Nn. Elissa grunted out.

"Here you go young lady!" The receptionist came back out with the slave wearing a black suit.

He was even given a short trim, he looked at her with almost the same eye colour as she has.

Instead of being emerald, it was a light forest green with flakes of blue specks in them.

"Thank you for your service. Your tip." She said as he threw another gold coin at the receptionist.

Walking out with the slave following her footsteps.

"Please come back any day!" He exclaimed excitedly his hands still gripping onto the coins, shivering in glee that he earned so much for a slave.

The contract she had ensures that he will follow her and never disobey her otherwise he'll die.

"What do you want me to do master." He asked with a harsh underlying tone as they were walking back to Elissa's house.

She stopped at her track, causing the poor guy to bump into her, "Why'd you stop." He asked annoyedly, rubbing his nose.

She turned around and looked at him sharply, "You're my slave so you'll learn how to cook protect me." She state, ignoring his previous tone.

"What do you actually want with me?" He asked coldly.

"Nothing, just cooking and protecting me is what I desire." Elissa said, staring at him.

He suddenly turned a bright pink as he stuttered, "F-fine. I know how to fight though."

"Good. I'll teach you how to cook, and you should further polish up your fighting skills." She said to him.

Her eyes are so pure without any bad intention... I guess I'll follow her for now.

"Know that I... Hate betrayals." She said coldly, even more colder than before.

He shivered slightly and went down on one knee, "I won't ever betray you, otherwise you can kill me. It is stated in the contract that I'll die if I betray you anyways." He replied fearlessly, not affected by her cold term.

Seems like he doesn't know it's fake.

Hm...

"Alright..." She trailed off as she stopped outside her 'home'. "Is this your home master?" He asked, looking at it in awe.

"It's not as nice as you think." She said, walking in the house from the back gate.

Elissa walked through the long hallway to her foster 'father's' room and knocked politely on the door.

"No matter what happens... Don't say or do anything unless I say so." She told the slave.

"Nn." He nodded his head in agreement before hearing someone call them in.

"Y-you! It's you! I thought I locked you up for good! What are you doing here demon!" He exclaimed, slamming his fists on the table.

The slave and Elissa didn't flinch at the sound made as Elissa stared at him dead in the eyes.

"He'll be my servant from now on. I want you to teach him stuff." Elissa demanded coldly.

"What makes you think I'll listen to a demon like you?" He sneered at her as the slave behind her trembled in anger.

He hadn't expect noble parents to be so harsh towards their own flesh and blood child like this, it made him feel unexpected anger towards the man and pity towards his master.

"... I'll tell the king than." Elissa simply states as she walked out the doors slowly.

10...

9...

"Wait! I'll accept your offer! Don't you dare tell the king anything." He scrambled his hands around nervously, making himself look like an idiot.

"I knew you would accept my offer... Father." She responded with a fake smile and beneath it was her malice.

The man didn't say anything as Elissa left the place along with her slave.

"Your name... Your name should be ash." She said on her way to her room.

"Ash? Why ash? It sounds stupid." Ash states, "Ash can't be squashed easily, even if it does it doesn't disappear, it's kinda fiery too... Like you." Elissa explains.

(A/N: That was me trying to explain the meaning so... Yes it's weird...)

Ash blushed a deep rosy red colour as he stammered, "F-fine... Ash will be my name."

"Mn, not like you have a choice." Elissa smirked cheekily at him.

Or was it Eli?

"I stay at an attic just so you know... I can train you martial arts and cooking. But you can do some external training on your own since it has given us permission." She barely managed to spit out 'it'.

Seemingly so repulsed that she can't even mention him as an 'it'.

• • •

A few years has passed as Elissa made sure that Ash was trained well, polishing his skills and making him cook for her since she doesn't trust anyone else with it.

She 'semi-trusts' Ash since he was quite trustworthy for all those years, "Ash... Do you hate me?" She suddenly asked out of the blue, sipping on her earl grey tea.

"Hate?! No way! Master you are my saving grace, how can I ever hate you!" He quickly denied, praising me.

Reverting back to how he would previously called me, 'Master'.

I'm liking this kid.

Hm.

"Glad you think so." She gave him an actual sincere smile that lasted for a few seconds before she reverted back to her emotionless look.

"M-milady... Master summons you to his study." A maid went up to her with a shaky voice.

"Tch alright." Elissa murmured annoyed,

"Milady?" Ash asked, concerned over the sudden summon. It is unlike 'it' to summon milady for no reason... Should be some ulterior motives.

"Hmm... I don't think I've told you yet but it's probably gonna talk about my... Fiance." She spat out.

Ash who was following behind her felt shocked as he strangely feels... Upset... Angry and mad over it.

He clenched his fists tightly as he gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you... Like him?"

Elissa glanced over her shoulder before she replied in a happy tone, "Oh yes! He's my prince charming~" Clapping her hands together, as she smiled at Ash.

Ash moods darkens as he suddenly felt and undescribable emotion crawl up his back.

"I-" Ash tried saying something but Elissa continues her words, cutting him off.

"As if." She scoffed, showing her most disgusted look ever, repulsed at the thought of having a fiance.

"Than... Why didn't you mention about him to me?" Ash quickly put on a polite smile and asked.

"Some pathetic little guy who pulled pranks on me when I was a kid wasn't really worth mentioning. Besides, I forgot his very existence... That is... Until now." Elissa said bluntly as Ash placed one hand over his mouth.

Trying to cover his evil thoughts as his mouth contorted to a smirk, So... Shall I kil-

"Nope~ Don't you dare~" Elissa quickly interrupted his thoughts as he looked startled at her back.

"I know what your thinking Ash, it's capital offense to kill, much less... A royalty." Elissa says straightforwardly.

"Ah... It seems like you've foiled my plans milady." Ash answered with an awkward but honest smile.

"Hm... It's just, I can read you easily I suppose." She replied with a little grin which made him captivated by it.

"We're here now... Remember, don't do anything unless I say so." Elissa said, not noticing his captivated expression.

"Of course." Ash replied like a professional butler. "Hn." Elissa nodded in response as the doors to its study opened.

"Ah, Elissa you're here." It said to her with a disgusting smile, "Of course father. I rushed here as quickly as possible. I heard I have a fiance! Is he here?" Elissa asked with a fake excited look.

Meanwhile as she said that, Ash's face darkens even more as he clenches his fists tightly.

Not liking this conversation between the two of them. "Yes... You have a fiance... He isn't here though." He flinches slightly which was seen by both of their gazes.

"It seems like you will be undergoing the training to be queen so you should prepare yourself and don't embarrass me." He continued with a fake smile.

"Ahh... I see, when will my trainings start?" Elissa asked.

"Tomorrow." He state, staring at her frozen figure.

Her eyes twitched slightly as she curtsey once more, "Of course... Father." She responded.

The word 'father' caused the duke to feel some bloodlust as Ash stared at him with killing intent.

The duke paled and shivered slightly.

"If I may, I would like to take my leave and rest early." She continued on, ignoring his pathetic look plastered on his face unknowingly.

"Of course, I hope you have a great rest." He gritted out but tried sounding as nicely towards her as possible.

Elissa didn't think twice before she got out of that wretched room, "Tomorrow... I was suppose to have my special tea time tomorrow." She groaned out frustratedly.

"Milady..." Ash trailed of with a concerned look.

"You'll accompany me there Ash..." Elissa said without looking back at him.

"Of course." He replied like an excited dog.

Elissa turned the corner and accidentally bumped against a large figure as she fell backwards.

Ash immediately dashed forward to help catch her before she hit the floor, without much difficulty due to his harsh trainings he received under her tutelage.

"Milady, are you alright." Ash immediate reaction was to ask for her safety as he helped her up.

"Yes." Elissa nodded as she stared at the person who bumped into her.

Ash followed her gaze to see a large noble girl glaring at his master. How dare she glare at my master.

Upon sensing the hostility (The glaring) towards his master, his guard went up considerably high as he stared at the girl with a hint of killing intent.

The girl immediately faltered under his gaze and retracted her eyes away from Elissa.

"Ash." He snapped out of his murderous thoughts from hearing his master's sweet voice.

"Understood." He bowed down slightly and stood behind her, her tone which told him that she wanted to deal with this by herself.

Elissa stared at her 'sister' emotionlessly as she eventually flinched at her blank stare. "Y-you! Why are staring at me you slut!" She exclaimed pointing her fat fingers at her.

Elissa continued staring on without much care while Ash... He was having difficulties controlling himself.

He had mustered up all of his self control to not crush that finger that was pointing towards his master since his master told him not to interfere.

"Slut...?" Elissa trailed off, "Yes a slut! You must have seduced his highness the prince! Otherwise how could he have fallen in love with your ugly appearance!" She insulted Elissa, screaming at her with unladylike manners.

Ugly appearance? My master is like a swan compared to you... A trash can. Actually no, my master is a heavenly god that has unparalleled beauty. Ash praises Elissa continuously in his head.

"Prince...? I have no care for such a lowly creature." Elissa said blankly.

"L-lowly creature?" The sister repeated her words, horrified with what she said about the prince.

Ash on the other hand is smiling widely at her statement, Well said milady. He thought with a grin.

"Let's go Ash." Elissa said turning her back before the noble noticed him.

Ash noticable red hair glinted under the sunlight and caught the noble girls attention, she observed him and smirked.

"Hey! Give me that servant!" She demanded with a grin filled with mockery.

"Give... Him?" Elissa asked with a dangerous tone, the lady however didn't hear her underlying tone and continued.

"Yes, that servant should be compensation for me since you bumped into me."

Elissa sharply turned her body to face her, "He is my servant so what makes you think I'll give him to you."

"B-Because I'm your sister! Now give him to me!" She exclaimed like a brat.

Ash was in bliss once he heard how mich his master cares about him as he ignored everything that was happening currently.

"... Don't." Elissa warned darkly, staring at the floor.

"Heh! Getting scared now huh? I'll tell daddy if you don't give him to me!" She exclaimed.

"Don't steal him away from me!" Elissa snapped glaring at her fiercely, the noble girl fell down in shock at her sudden shout as she quickly snapped her head up and was about to berate her.

She froze since her eyes were no longer the same as before, a dull emerald, instead it became a dazzling bright gold colour as Elissa's dark gaze made her soul tremble in fear.

The noble girl quickly got up and dashed away from her exclaiming, "I will tell daddy!" Ash watched the scene in shock, not knowing why the noble girl suddenly exclaim hurriedly like that.

"Milady?" He asked cautiously, staring at the back of her figure.

Her shoulders began trembling before she sobbed silently.

Hearing her sobs made Ash's heart feel like a thousand daggers stabbed through it.

Ash quickly went forward to her now dainty, delicate back.

She has always kept up the facade that she was strong but Ash knows that somehow, deep inside. She's not the strong persona she thinks she is.

He gently patted her back and rubbed it soothingly, Elissa turned around and leaned into his chest. This action made Ash's heart burst into joy, he didn't expect his master to willing allow him to hug her.

She has always hated physical contact...

Somehow, no matter how hard she tries to hide it. She always flinches when someone touches her or even try to attempt so, so her first instinct is to back off.

It took her a 2 years to get accustomed to Ash's touch, be it helping her off the carriage or protecting her.

Elissa extended her hand out to him when he was in a very dark place. Like the sun, she provided him light... She is his hope and faith. So he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe and happy, even if...

It destroys him.

A dangerous thought really... But he can't help himself... If she ever got hurt, he'll feel like killing himself tens and thousands of times to repent for his sins.

"Ash..." She trails off weakly, "Yes milady?" He asked with a tender tone.

"You also... Won't leave me... Right?" She asked, looking up at him with her bright golden eyes.

"*Gasp*" Ash couldn't help but gasp in surprised, "W-What is it?" She asked fearfully not liking his sudden expression.

It's our... Golden eyes...

"D-don't look at me!" She exclaimed pushing away from his embrace, however Ash only tightens his grip on her as he hugs her tightly.

Placing his head on her shoulder as he whispers, "Milady... Your eyes are..." He trailed off as Elissa who was initially thrashing around from his grip froze.

She immediately kept her eyes shut as she imagined the endless possibilities of how he would talk about how distrusting she is to him.

"Your eyes are heavenly... Please... Don't push me away and leave me... You can use me as you desire... Just please... Don't abandon this slave." Ash's whisper with a pained look as his whispers faded away softly.

He buried his head into her neck, as he murmured sweet nothings to calm his master down. "Trust me... I will never leave you... Not even the day you die. I will always be by your side." He promised her as her black hair slowly faded into white under the moonlight.

He's... Not lying... Eli trailed off shocked.

"Mn. Glad to know that you'll be by my side... Ash." She replied earnestly with a gentle smile.

"Carry me to my room... I'm tired." Elissa trailed off, closing her eyes as Ash swept her off her feet and princess carried her.

"You don't... Hate me? Truly?" She asked for the second time of the day, not finding it believable that he wouldn't hate her at all im the slightest.

"No... We all have our secrets after all master." He looked at her with a soft, gentle smile.

Elissa froze as she saw that.

BADUM

BADUM

What is this weird feeling I feel... Strangely, I like it.

Elissa...

Yes Eli?

You don't hate me do you?

Why are you asking that?

Because... If I didn't exist, you could be living your life peaceful by now. But because I'm here... You have to suffer.

I can't ever hate you! You're my one and only true friend... I can never bring myself to hate you...

I- You should call me sister then... Since I am technically you.

A-alright! ... Sister...

Call me if you ever encounter and problems okay? I've gotta rest for a little now.

Oh... Okay, rest well... Sister.

Of course my dear sister.

"Master... Rest well." Ash said as he blew out the candle.

However, just as he was about to leave her side. Elissa quickly pulled onto his clothing, "Don't... Leave me." She said pitifully.

"Stay with me..." She trailed off, she sensed his hesitance to do so. "Please?" She asked earnestly, with sincere and hopeful eyes as imaginary arrows shot his heart.

"... Of course milady." Ash replied.

How can she be so cute... Self-control... Control my inner desires *Breathes deeply*

Ash sat beside her as she held onto her hand, "I'm sorry... I'll tell you the truth tomorrow okay?" Elissa said with a small voice.

"Don't... I'll wait... Till you feel comfortable." Ash said as Elissa felt a weird sense of emotion rush through her body... Relief? Happiness?

She sat up on her bed, slightly intoxicated with what she is feeling as she leaned in and gave Ash a peck on his cheek.

"M-milady!" Ash stammers with a red face as he hid his expression behind his hands, "D-don't do that." He exclaimed with his voice slightly husky accompanied by a flustered look on his face.

She stretched out her hand to grab his, clutching them tight as she laid down.

"Night... Ash." She didn't say anything as she laid down to sleep.

• • •

*In this story there is slight gore and very small mature scene WARNING*

Elissa opened her eyes to see Ash laying down my her bed.

Oh no... It wouldn't hurt his neck right?

It really depends from one person to the other.

Elissa also saw that her hand were in his grasp, she gently tried to pry out her hand from his grip but it was too strong.

Eventually she gave up, giving him a gentle shake as she tousled his already messy bed hair.

"Wake up Ash." She tried but to no avail, "If you don't wake up... I'll not kiss you... Ever again." She whispered, not expecting him to react, but he suddenly twitched and jolt up in an instant.

W-what? How?

"Will you give me that kiss milady?" He asked with an intoxicated but flirty look.

Is he dreaming?

Possibly... By looking into his dazed eyes. Yes.

"Of course." She replied going closer to his closed eyed face, and immediately went straight up to his forehead.

"Wake up you sleepy head, this isn't a dream. I've got to prepare for my lessons remember?" Elissa said after giving him a gently kiss on his forehead.

Ash sat there frozen as his face went red, "W-wha... My apologies milady! I'll be right back!" Ash exclaimed as he dashed out of the room.

Elissa chuckled under her breath as she got off her bed, she sighed as she went to her wardrobe.

Let's get rid of the king shall we?

...We'll meet him after my lessons.

Yes! Let's do this.

It's nice to see you excited for once sister.

Heh, what are you talking about.

Don't need to play it cool sister.

Whatever are you talking about, hurry and get ready.

Whatever you say...

Elissa prepared a dress that was long and stretchy, underneath it she is wearing long stretchable pants and a white blouse fit for fighting.

She took a quick bath and came out with her fluffy tower under her arm and stepped out, changing into her clothes.

"Ash?" She called out as she hasn't heard from him after what had happened earlier on.

Elissa didn't worry much but she took the whistle that is placed on her dresser and blew on it.

Sending a special signal to Ash only, that Elissa is calling for him.

Ash immediately swung the door to the attic open and climbed up swiftly, "Ash, let's go. Bring me to the carriage." Elissa instructed, not minding about his flustered look.

"M-milady, where's your dress?" He stuttered.

"Oh yes." Elissa murmured as she wore her dress right in front of him, her head however couldn't get through the holes and her hands were raising up straight.

"Ash..." She could only call for him since he was her trusted subordinate, "Help me." You could hear her voice muffled through the clothes.

Ash turned around to see that his master's head was stuck, he found the scene to be adorable as he quickly covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing.

"Ash?" Elissa called out irritatedly, "Of course milady." He said as he went forward and gently help her head fit through the hole.

"Help me tie my hair." Elissa ordered as he nodded, standing behind her with a comb as he brushed through her silky locks easily.

Ash than began to expertly tie her hair in a french braid with her favourite magenta ribbon.

"Thanks... Before we go." Elissa stopped him as she stared at him gravely, "Yes milady?" He gulped nervously.

Don't tell me she found out about my obsession with her in my room...

"What will you do if I said... That I want to kill the king?" Elissa asked, staring at his expression as Ash heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh thank god... I thought she found out." He murmured under his breath quickly.

"Huh?" Elissa looked at him weirdly, "Milady, I will kill the king with you... No for you." Ash said with a smile.

"Really now?" She asked, pondering to herself.

Maybe I should test him...

Ooh yes, it seems fun~

"Let's go down the attic first." She said as Ash carried her down.

Elissa spotted through the windows the noble girl that tried stealing Ash away from her as she felt an uncomfortable feeling rise from beneath.

"To prove your loyalty... You'll do anything? Right?" She asked, not taking her eyes of her 'sister'.

"Of course." Ash replied without an ounce of hesitation as he gave her a deep bow, "Than~ I want you to kill her." She announced pointing at her 'sister'.

"R-really?" Ash stuttered as his eyes widened in joy, "Yes, now hurry up." Elissa nodded as she observed the scene from the top.

*SLIGHT GORE AHEAD*

Ash in a flash was behind her 'sister' as he stabs her ruthlessly multiple times with his sword on her abdomen.

Perhaps to shocked to do anything, she didn't scream.

That's for mocking milady, That's for wanting to separate us and that is for bullying her. He thought psychotically.

Blood spewed out of her mouth as she tried turning around but before she could see the killer, her eyes were gouged out by the merciless Ash with his gloved hands as he squashed the eyeball like jello in his hands.

She shrieked in pain and scrambled to get away from Ash on the floor, she was trying her hardest to push herself away from the killer.

He proceeded to throw the remaining of what was left onto the floor and stomped on it multiple times, laughing psychotically, releasing his anger towards her.

"Shut up!" He growled angrily as he grabbed her by the throat and Lifted her to the air, slowly crushing her sound box, destroying it as he finally released his grip on her before she could faint.

She immediately grabbed her throat and opened her mouth like a stupid goldfish, not making any nosie at her as her facial expression changed multiple times.

Not feeling much satisfied with the pain she was going through, Ash decided to carve her face like a halloween jack-o-lantern as he ruined her look.

He also dug his sword down from her back, moving downwards slowly before exerting pressure at a certain sport, destroying her spinal cord to prevent her from walking ever again.

(A/N: Well you guys may or may not have thought, "YES SHE DIED" or something like that)

Elissa smirked cruelly as she could hear her screams from the top of the mansion.

Ash after a few second appeared to her side with no blood splatters on him whatsoever as he smiled at her brightly like he didn't just murdered anyone.

"Great job." She patted his head gently, "I knew you would do it for me." She stood on her tippy toes till she could whisper into his ears, embracing him tightly.

Ash smiled brightly as he returned her embrace, "Now~ Let's threaten this king shall we? Wouldn't want that idiot to br my fiance." Elissa mused on as Ash nodded frantically, eager to hear that she wouldn't get a fiance if they threatened or killed the king.

After their talk, they walked down to the front where they could hear people shrieking about the body. "Oh my, who would do such a cruel thing!"

Upon hearing that Elissa acted quickly, covering her eyes as she turned away from the gruesome scene with a fearful look.

Ash follow suite as his face contorted to a look of discomfort directed towards the bloody body in front of them, he stretched out his arms to prevent his master from seeing it as he guided her into the carriage.

"Hurry! Go to the palace to have your etiquette lesson! I'll deal with this!" 'It' exclaimed, ushering them off.

The horseman, flicked his wrists as the horses began running. "Milady?" Ash asked, "Yes?" Elissa asked, staring out at the window.

"Will you abandon me someday..." Ash asked pitifully. Elissa glanced at Ash before she replied, "It depends. But you'll stay by my side for now." She lifted up his chin and stared into his forest green eyes.

"Mn. Your eyes are nice." She nodded before staring out of the window again,

"Milady, why did your hair and eye colour change back again?" Ash asked.

"Hm... Do you want to hear a story?" Elissa returned his question with her question.

Ash caught on quick and Elissa could sense him nodding vigorously.

"Alright... Once upon a time. There was an evil witch in a little girls body, her silver white hair and golden eyes symbolizes her very being. The king felt threatened by her presence and eventually made up a plan to get rid or trap the witch so she can never escape again."

Elissa pauses to look at Ash's expression, he stared on impassively, waiting for her to continue the story patiently.

Elissa slightly hummed a little as she patted his head.

She than patted onto her lap signaling for him lay down as Ash stared at her curiously, not understanding what it means.

Elissa smiled at him before she brought his head down to her lap and began playing with his soft, smooth locks as she continued her story.

Ash initially tried struggling out of her lap but Elissa gave him a look before he froze completely.

Allowing his lady do whatever she wants with his hair as he closed his eyes shut with slightly red cheeks, giving him a rosy complexion.

"He left the girl to one of his subordinates to take care of but this girl was not treated well in the family. She ended up trusting no one... No one but that voice in her head. Guess who that voice is?" Elissa asked.

"T-the witch?" He asked, "Correct." She ruffled his hair gently before continuing.

"The witch, instead of hating the little girl, liked watching the little girl as they became the greatest companion for each other. The witch could even help take over the little's girl body to help her, even though the witch could be in total control. She let the little girl be in control, because she has had enough of dealing with this stupid, cold, cruel earth." Elissa ended her story.

"T-that was... So sad master." Ash blurted out, before he covered his face, embarrassed that he got caught in his worst moments.

His lips quivering slightly as his eyes went puffy, "I know you are crying for my sake." Elissa smiled as she wiped his tears off with her skirt.

"You... I trust you the most besides her so please... Don't make me distrust you... Ever." Elissa murmured softly under her breath which was caught by Ash's sharp hearing.

"I will always be your trustworthy person... But in return... Please never leave me." Ash replies.

"I'll never leave you Ash." She whispers breathily as she leaned in, connecting her forehead together with his.

She helped Ash sit up than she properly kissed him...

*I tried writing it…*

On the lips, licking his outer lips as if asking for his permission before slipping her tongue in.

Ash was once again frozen by what had happened before he quickly snapped out of it, responding towards her advances expertly.

Both of their tongues were fighting for dominance for a while before Ash won, Elissa relaxed and opened her mouth slightly which gave Ash a chance to slip in, exploring her mouth as he kept sucking and licking her lips.

Eventually he let go of his lady as he allowed her to breath, excited to do it again, he was about to go in for a second round but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

(A/N: Ya'll gonna hate this cockblock xD)

Ash tsked in response as Elissa sat up, panting slightly as she fixed up her messy appearance. "What is it?" She asked irritatedly, with a slightly husky sounding voice.

Ash shot her a look with love and obsession as Elissa smirked back at him

"W-we're here at the palace." He stuttered, not expecting to know a dirty secret of them both.

He smirked maliciously as his greedy thoughts override his facial expression, Elissa stepped out of the carriage and glanced at his face.

"Ash. Kill." She commanded simply as she walked off.

Ash did a clean job of slicing his head of cleanly, causing minimal blood spillage on the floor as he dumped the body and head into a random alleyway.

He did it quickly and followed behind his master like the loyal dog he was, "Excuse me. Before I go for my etiquette lesson, may I talk with the king first?" Elissa asked the royal guards politely.

"No, without his permission you can't." The guard replied firmly, drawing his sword to block the door from opening.

Elissa gave Ash a slight glance and the guard was missing, Ash stabbed him before pushed him down the rooftop, the corpse falling directly into the bush.

"Nice aim, now let's go~" Elissa said happily as she opened the doors, "My greetings to the king, I have something important to report." Elissa greeted with a 'smile.'

"Elissa? What are you doing here." He asked with a frown. "For business." Elissa simply state as she stared at him with a emerald eyes flickering to gold slightly before changing back.

The king jumped in his chair before he quickly made his way to her, "Ahahaha... Come in my dear." He quickly said trying to make her feel comfort.

"Thank you... Your majesty." She replied following him in with a smile. "Oh what did I say about that, call me father." He laughed.

"Oh yes, sorry... 'Father'." She replied, trying not to sound sarcastic as possible. The king didn't cringe at her calling him as he continued smiling politely at her.

"As I said about my business... I don't want to have a fiance." Elissa said, the king's smile froze on his face as he stared at her.

"What? Why?" He gritted out, "Because, I've heard rumours of him together with a commoner girl and how he's gonna marry her." She replied.

"That rumour is fake! Don't worry I'll invite them here to apologise and make sure he likes you only." The king exclaimed, informing the guards to escort the both of them here quickly.

Elissa slightly glanced at Ash to find the corner he is standing in to be dark and gloomy, but the moment she looked at him. It changed to flowers blooming at the background.

How peculiar...

"Father what did you call me for?" A bright voice called out as he walked in the room, I turned my gaze to look at him and found him familiar.

"Here's your fiance and don't go near that commoner anymore. You hear me!" The king chided. "What!? But I like her better than my fiance." He rebutted the king's word.

"It's other you do that or you're not prince anymore." The king threatens fiercely, "W-what I- Father! You're doing this because of my fiance?" He exclaimed loudly.

"Yes, now stop ruining her reputation as well." The king responded, "Tch... Whatever." He groaned as he turned to look at me.

He froze as he stared at me wide eyed, "E-elissa?" He stuttered. "How'd you know my name?" Elissa asked him blankly.

"It's me Austin! We met at the cafe few years back then." He exclaim pointing at himself excitedly.

"... Don't know you." Elissa replied coldly.

The doors went wide again as a girl was escorted in, "G-greetings to the kings and crown prince." She greeted coyly, I watched as a sly smirk pass by her face.

"Eli...? Father what is the meaning of this?" The prince exclaimed looking at his father confused.

Wow she almost has the same name as me... Actually the same as my sister.

"I want you to promise that you'll never go near that girl again. Girl, you should also know not to go near the prince since he has a fiance and it would ruin both of their reputation." The king explained.

"W-what?" The girl, murmured with a weird expression. It was innocent and sad sounding but for a moment, a look of scorn and sneer passed by her face.

"I-I-" The girl tried to swear but she stammered awkwardly as tears slowly prickled her eyes.

"Father you can't do this, besides she's my friend." The prince exclaimed.

Oh my gosh... This BS is taking forever...

"May I say something..." Elissa spoke up, as the king directed his attention to her. "Why yes my dear?" He asked gently,

"How about... We cast her to the country side to live, and than bring her back for mg wedding if she can't bear to separate with him." She suggested.

Although that girl is probably a white lotus, she had nothing to do with them... And she didn't piss me off so yeah... This will be her saving grace.

"Oh... Great idea, did you hear her. If you can't handle it, you can go to the countryside to stay until their wedding." The king said repeating Elissa's idea to her.

The girl turned her gaze to Elissa and glared at her sharply, "King... With all due respect... May I speak without any outsiders around us." She said looking around the room.

Wow she just created a great opportunity for me... Even though she hates me.

"... Well alright." He commanded with a flick of his hand as the soldiers left the room. "Uhm... What about him?" She asked pointing at Ash.

"You may step down..." The king frowned irritatedly as he flicked his finger.

Ash however didn't take one step at all, "He's my servant. I hope he can stay in this room." Elissa state, boring into the girls earthy eyes.

"Uh... Sure." The king trailed off.

"You're majesty, listen to me. She is just brainwashing you." The girl said with pitiful eyes.

Careful... This girl is charm speaking them both.

I see.

"Well... I..." The king murmured with a troubled look. "I've had enough with this lollygagging..." Elissa sighed as she spoke loudly.

"Huh?" The prince said as he stared at her as did the others, "We don't need to bother this... Lowly commoner in our business do we?" Elissa said bluntly after their attention was directed onto her.

"Oh... You're right, you and the prince are suited for each other." The king smiled. Meanwhile the girl flinched as Elissa called out on her lowly status.

"So what? That servant is in a more lower status than me!" She shrieked, exposing her true face.

The others didn't react since they were charm spoke by her once more.

That was fast...

She has a short temper apparently...

Yup, and can't keep it in check.

"Oh yes! King I will leave the prince alone... Only if... She gives that servant to me!" The girl said smirking at Elissa as she frowned.

"Alright, Elissa dear. Could you give your servant to her?" The king said with a dazed look.

"I mean I could but..." Elissa trailed off.

"He's mine. And worth more than you ever will." Elissa stated with a straight face as Ash who was standing behind her blushed slightly.

"W-what!?" She exclaimed outraged, "Ash." Elissa said his name.

"As you command." He replied as he appeared behind the king, "Wait, don't kill yet. Capture them." Elissa commanded as the both of them broke out of her spell.

Since she was stomping around angrily, breaking off her concentration on the spell.

"What's happening?" They asked in confusion, when Ash immediately gagged the king and tied him up.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing to my father!? GUAR-!" He tried calling out for backup when he was muffled by a piece of cloth stuffed into his mouth.

Ash simultaneously while doing that kneed him in the stomach.

Ooh... Double kill.

The prince coupled over in pain as Ash tied him up as well, throwing him together with his father.

"Don't come near me." The girl said pitifully, trying to charm Speak Ash since he was walking towards her calmly like a predator watching its prey.

This was... Surprisingly easy.

Elissa froze slightly and frowned as she saw Ash stop in his tracks, his eyes glazing over as the girl smirked evilly.

"Hmm... I guess you don't love me anymore. I might really have to marry him." Elissa said abruptly, sighing in disappointment.

That simple comment from Elissa was all it took for Ash to break out of her cell as he immediately grabbed her by the throat, slamming her against the wall harshly as she struggled for air.

"Don't kill." Elissa said as she twirled one lose strand of hair around her finger, Ash reluctantly loosened his grip on her throat as he released it.

Purplish blue marks were around her throat in contrast to her pale skin, Ash just tied her up and threw her together with the other two held captive.

Elissa stepped towards the king as he tried inching further away from her, she yanked the gag off from the kings mouth as the king opened his mouth, wanting to scream.

When Elissa turned back to her moonlight silver hair and golden eyes, putting her finger on her lip as she hushed him.

"Shhh..." The contrast of her soft hushing to the quiet surrounding was extremely eery as all of them ceased their struggling.

Looking horrified to what was gonna come, "Now... I want to be the king... What do you say?" Elissa asked, looking at the tied up king, boring her sparkly eyes into the kings frightened gaze.

"Y-yes, you can have it! Please, don't kill me!" The king begged ceaselessly.

"That's... Not impossible." Elissa trailed off, the suspense in the air made them hold their breath.

"It's either your life or your sons life... What do you say?" Elissa asked, pointing her fingers to father and son as the both of them flinched under her sharp calculating gaze.

"I-I" The king looked on conflicted.

"Or~" Elissa continued, sliding behind Ash as she placed her arms around his shoulder with her standing on her tippy toes.

"Ash can pick." She whispered, but her whisper was loud enough for the others to hear.

Ash smiled and nodded like an obedient puppy when king frantically exclaimed, "Take his life! Not mine!"

How shameless. Eli clicked her tongue.

"Alright~" Elissa nodded, untying the king as she continued, "Announce to the citizens that you're stepping down and making me the queen."

"Ash... Bring them to my room." Elissa commanded as Ash nodded, grabbing the two by their collars or shirt and disappearing like the wind.

"E-elissa..." The king trailed off, "Don't fall for her tricks... She's lying to you." He continued fearfully as he watched her unchanging expression.

Elissa didn't respond to a single word he said as she stared blankly out of the window. "Please... Never trust her." He warned.

"Don't. Don't push it... King." She hissed out through her gritted teeth.

"Sorry... But you're gonna have to die." The king said as he ran towards Elissa with a hidden dagger, Elissa tried dogging but it was too late.

*STAB*

Blood came out from her ruptured area, "I'm sorry my dear... But you trusted her." The king said sighing a little as he stood up from her bleeding body.

Elissa stared on shocked, but grabbed the kings hand and used her other to grab the dagger and plunge into his heart.

It all happened so quickly, before she lost her strength and collapsed onto the floor.

Still alive... Barely.

Quick footsteps rushed towards her as she glanced up, "Ash... I'm sorry." She trailed off awkwardly, giving him her brightest smile.

"I-I'm..." Ash trembled as he held Elissa in her arms, "I'm sorry as well." He wiped off all the emotions he had on his face as he stabbed her harshly at her stomach.

Elissa stared on in shock, not believing what Ash did to her. "I... Loved you." She whispered horrified that her most beloved person betrayed her.

"Hehe~ Thank you my dear." A sultry voice giggled as Elissa moved her head slowly to see who it was, "M-me...?" She asked out weakly.

She was the exact same person as Elissa, appearance wise but they sounded different. "It is I~ Eli." She purred before saying her name with Eli's voice.

"B-but why?" Elissa asked shakily, her pale lips trembling as she bit on it. "Hah~ It sucked being stuck in your body so~ Bye bye, the king is right. You should have never trusted me, everything was done for my benefit. Even your dearest Ash." Eli said.

Elissa froze as she stared blankly, still not sure how she was still alive. "That's because you still have my essence, but fear not. You'll die soon… So I can absorb the essence from your cold, dead, limp body." Eli explained with a seductress smirk.

Elissa's whole body trembled as she laughed out loud maniacally, "AHAHAHAHA... I should have never trusted anyone... Not even myself." Her voice became softer as she whispered to herself.

A mantra that she'll repeat endlessly, so she'll never forget in all her lifetime. She looked up slightly to see Ali sitting on the throne, crossing her leg as Ash kneeled down by her side holding her hand.

Elissa watched observantly.

His eyes... Were they always that blanked or glazed? It must be... That! She thought as hope filled her already empty heart-brokened heart.

"Ash..." She tried calling his name out but Ash didn't even glance at her dying self.

"I... Love you… Always." She forced herself to speak out loud as her eyesight blurred out.

Elissa smiled weakly as she saw Ash's eyes returned back to his normal one, the one filled with light and hope... Along with unconditional love towards her.

The eyes that she loved...

Ash turned around and froze at the scene before he screamed, his hands reaching out for Elissa's body as it crumbled into dust and drifted off with the wind.

Live for me... I hope we meet again... Shall our lives be intertwined together by fate once more.

A soft whisper filled his ears as Ash collapsed onto the floor, sobbing his eye out as his hung down low.

"Tch, you won't break out of my spell that easily." Eli clicked her tongue as she snapped her fingers.

"W-what? What happened? Why didn't it work!?" Eli exclaimed frantically as she immediately stood up from the throne.

However before she could run, she was held down by Ash who began torturing her.

Ash took out his peeling knife and peeled off her face slowly as Eli screamed in agony.

The first thing he did was to place on special made magical chains which absorbed away her powers, making her powerless.

How did Ash get it? Perhaps from Elissa's deepest wish, for him too live happily.

Ash in the end ruled the kingdom fairly and he was known to be the cold cruel king.

Every week he will go down to the prison cells to torture Eli, she was already broken but Ash has his ways to break her down even more.

However Ash would daily stare at a portrait of his lady made daily and stare at it blankly.

If only... My will was strong enough to withstand her charmspeak... My dear Elissa... I miss you...

Take care of her... A soft whisper echoed into his mind as he sat up alertly, "Elissa!? Where are you!" He exclaimed, his eyes filled with hope.

"Please... Don't abandon me." He whispered as a lone tear went down his cheek. His eyes despondent as he was slowly going crazy.

"Y-your majesty!" A fearful voice spoke up from the other side of his door.

Ash wiped away his tear as he replied coldly, "What."

"There's a baby at the royal gates." The maid replied with a trembling voice. "Just kill i-" He was about to continue when he froze.

The words he heard before echoed in his head. 'Take care of her.' Do you mean the baby? Ash thought in his mind sadly.

"Bring the baby to me." Ash replied back coldly, within seconds someone knocked on the door. "Come in." He replied.

"Y-your majesty, the baby." The envoy said as he kneeled down, holding out the baby to the king as Ash stared at the baby.

The baby was asleep but at the moment Ash glanced at her, she opened her eyes and gurgled at him. Ash froze and shuddered at her stare.

Her eyes... Is just like hers. I'll take good care of her for you Elissa. He thought lovingly, as his gaze softened.

"She'll be living with me, take good care of her." Ash said glaring at the maids, warning them to do a good job.
