Sebastiene and Haktor glanced at each other and both smiled at the same time.
"Twenty-two." Sebastiene smiled and raised two fingers.
"Tsk! Twenty-one." Haktor spit out with a frown.
"I win." Sebastiene said with a victorious smile.
"Fine!" Haktor replied and stomped back towards the knights and leaned on the wall, pouting.
The knights, seeing that their general was with them, breathed a sigh of relief.
Sebastiene chuckled before turning to face the two lewd people on the chair. He started to approach them when the woman suddenly shuddered and let out a satisfied breath. Karciel pulled out his hand from under her skirt and stared at Sebastiene, making him stop in his tracks.
Karciel seemed gentle like on the surface, but was actually quite crafty like a fox. He radiated menace that made one's hair raise on the ends.
Karciel narrowed his fox-like eyes with his lips raised in an arrogant smirk.
Sebastiene, being himself, replied with a smirk of his own. The one that annoyed Athanasia to the point of kicking him out of her office. The very same smile also annoyed Karciel that he frowned.
The woman in Karciel's lap turned her head and fixed her still dazed eyes on Sebastiene.
"Aren't you a handsome one?" She smiled slyly at Sebastiene making Karciel tighten his hold on her waist.
Sebastiene slightly raised his brow and a devilish smile appeared on his lips.
"I know." He replied forwardly.
"I have a proposition to make." She smiled and climbed down Karciel's lap. The woman walked towards Sebastiene swinging her hips seductively.
Sebastiene raised his brow and tilted his head slightly to stare at the woman who was only up to his shoulders.
"Oh? What would that be?"
The woman seductively placed her hands on Sebastiene's chest, feeling it.
"How about working for us?" She whispered alluringly. "A fine man like you, who is both handsome and strong would be better off working for Karciel, right?"
The lady then smiled wickedly as she looked at Sebastiene straight in the eye.
Sebastiene's devilish smile never left his lips as he stared at the woman brightly.
"And what would I gain from working for you?" Sebastiene raised his eyebrow.
"More money." The woman answered with a shrug. "Everybody wants more money, right? Besides, you can play with every goods we have, both men and women."
"Hmmmm.." Sebastiene stared down at her who was busy caressing his chest.
The knights who were listening to their conversation became anxious.
"G-general Haktor?!" A knight turned to Haktor with a worried look. "Wha-what is Sir Sebastiene doing?"
"Let him do what he wants." Haktor crossed his arms on his chest and continued leaning on the wall. "If he chooses to betray the young lady, we will just have to take him down too."
Even with such words, Haktor knew the loyalty that Sebastiene has for Melody, and his vow to her. Even just thinking about him betraying the young lady was unimaginable.
The other knights who heard Haktor's answer swallowed hard. They were worried not because of a betrayal but because they know how strong Sebastiene was. Even with both of their generals fighting him together was not enough to even land a single hit on him. If he would really abandon them now and betray House Castellan, it would be more than enough to turn the whole situation around!
The woman, seeing that Sebastiene's resolve was wavering, thought that she should add some more benefits to pull him to their side.
"You could be Karciel's right hand man." She told him while running her hand on his arm. "What do you think? Hmmmm?"
"What about the house I will live in? My tea time with the young lady?" Sebastiene answered with a smirk. "Who will I annoy if Lady Athanasia is not here? Ahhhh.. My life would be so boring!"
The woman raised a brow looking very confuse at Sebastiene.
Why would you want to work under little girls?" She asked, her coquettish smile back on her lips. "Wouldn't working for us better than following the whims of a spoiled ten-year old girl?"
The next moment, a whipping sound was heard and the seductive woman was cut in half!
Nobody saw what happened and was only able to hear the whipping sound before the woman's body split into two.
She wasn't even able to utter a sound until her body hit the floor with a thud.
Sebastiene walked past her without as second glance while folding his sleeves. His smile was merciless as he stared at the stunned face of Karcielel. He was obviously implying he killed her. Even his bloodlust was not hidden. He was thirsty for blood!
Karciel stared at the mutilated body of his woman.
The same woman who was in his lap just moments ago, now lies in her own blood in two.
