Chapter 58 - I call you , Reaper

Kiro opens the envelope , and finds a letter in there . He unfolds the letter and reads .

"Reaper

I require your help with an important issue I got , I look forward to meet you at my castle at Bethea's forest . Come alone in order to dodge unwanted confusion .

Sincerely , King Bralvor "

Kiro folds the letter again and puts it back to the envelope , which he puts in his coat's inner pocket.

"The demon king himself needs my help , doesn't he have an army of undead and demons ? Well , I hope he has much more to give than Vesper does ."

Kiro heads to the living room , in order to finish the tea prepared by Vallerie . He takes a sip from the cup and then he sits on the sofa once again .

"This is going to be a really long way "

-Breakfast is ready !

-I'm coming

Kiro gets up and heads to the dining room . He enters and takes a seat on the dining table. Luchia comes in with three plates full of ....

-Pancakes

-Yeah , I thought you would like them .

-And you were right , but you forgot the honey .

-I'll get it - says Vallerie .

Vallerie comes back with the honey and they all start eating .

-How do they taste ?

"She sure hasn't mastered the art of making pancakes , but they aren't bad "

-Do you like them or no?

-They're alright .

Kiro starts eating faster and faster in order to finish .

-Slow down Kiro , you're going to chock !

Kiro finishes breakfast , gets up and says :

-I got some business to take care of , I might come at dawn , or later .

-Again?!

-Unfortunately , yes .

-Just so you know , I will prepare something big tonight , and you would't want to eat it cold , right?

Kiro smiles and says :

-I'll keep in mind .

-Good luck .

Kiro leaves the mansion , mounts the horse , and heads to the Acadia crossing . Time passes , Kiro finds himself in the Acadia crossing .

"As far as I remember I should turn left "

Kiro turns left and continues his way . Time passes , Kiro starts seeing more and more evergreen trees , pines and spruces . It was getting colder and colder , until he finally reaches the trail that him and Averie followed to Bralvor's castle .

"Finally , I'm here"

Kiro dismounts the horse and follows the trail that leads to the castle . After a while , Kiro hears leafs rustling .

"I forgot this forest is infested with undeads ."

Kiro draws his sword , and two skeletons appear . They charge at Kiro , when suddenly , they stop . They look like they are waiting something .

"Wait , am I using beast mastering right now , is it why the skeletons aren't moving ."

"Bow"

The skeletons bow before Kiro .

"I could use them here ."

"Lead the way"

The skeletons lead the way for Kiro . A couple of other skeletons show up. Kiro uses the two skeletons to slay them .

"It seems beast mastering affects undead too "

Kiro continues to follow the skeletons , until they finally arrive at Bralvor's castle . From the front gates comes a familiar face .

-Greetings reaper ,as you may know , I'm demon lord Camero , and I will lead your way to his highness , king Bralvor .

Camero notices that the undead were accompanying Kiro .

-You are a human , how is it possible that the undead aren't attacking you.

-Begone now .

The skeletons turn back and leave .

-How is it possible that a human can control undead .

-I don't have time to waste , lead me to Bralvor .

-Don't get cocky human .

Camero leads the way into the enormous castle of the demon king . Kiro follows Camero to the big hall where Bralvor waits for them . As soon as they enter the Demon King , Bralvor , was sitting on his throne .They stare each other in the eyes , then a butler says :

-You mere human , how dare you not bow before his grace !

-Can't you see he's our guest Damos .

-I humbly request your apology my lord .

-So what the deal Bralvor .

-Would you mind if we talked about this matter in private .

-As you wish .

-Then follow me reaper .

Bralvor gets up from his throne and walks down the stairs . Kiro follows him to an small room . They both sit then Bralvor says :

-Zarel , Come here.

-Yes my lord .

A maid enters the room and says :

-What can I do for you your majesty ?

-You could bring me and Reaper a glass of the finest wine we have .

-Excuse me your highness , but why are you being so generous to a lowly human like him

In Kiro's face appears a devilish twisted grin , looks at Bralvor then he says :

-If you would allow me .

-Do as you wish Reaper .

-Bloodlust

Kiro's eyes turn pitch black , he grabs the maid by the throat and says :

-Now your life is in the hands of a lowly human , how does it feels darling , tell me !

-My king.....please....help!

Bralvor throws a cold look at her and says :

-Zarel , you insulted our guest , so it's in his will to forgive you or not .

The maid looks at Kiro's pitch black eyes . She lets out a tear then continues :

-Please reaper ........please , spare my life ......I'm truly sorry ......for my words !

Kiro's grin becomes more intense :

-Do you think an apology would make it up for looking down on me ? Then begging me for forgiveness , you are just like Hellar's nobility , thinking you are in the top , but being the lowest scum . For that , I'll paint this room red .

Kiro uses his inhumane strength to crush the maids throat . She splatters blood all over the place and then lies dead on the floor .

-Entitled whore ,let this be a lesson for every moron in this castle

-You truly are as the rumors say , cold and ruthless . Allow me to summon a maid to clean up the mess and serve us some good wine .

-I have to decline , I don't drink alcohol .

-Then whatever you wish .

Another maid comes in and she's terrified to find her fellow maid lying dead on the floor with her throat crushed .

-Please clean up this mess , and bring me some wine , what would you want reaper .

-Basil tea

-So be it , hurry up .
