Reiji rushes through the forest towards the falmuth kingdom. I hope they don't follow us. Those people they have some issues. Lilith is still in Reiji's arms. she stops reiji by grabbing his arm. reiji puts her down looking around to see if he lost them. There is no one but Lilith here, and so it appears he lost them. Lilith grabs reijis hand, and turns back into his gauntlets finally allowing her to rest.
a few days ago after the white haired woman killed rosalies demonic summon. She turns her blade to rosalie.
[???] who are you and why would you summon such a thing.
Rosalie sits silently her wing is partially shredded she has a broken leg, and she feels incredibly weak. She looks at this woman with the berg royal guard crest on her sheath, and armor.
[???] you will be taken back to berg. upon your arrival you will be jailed, and tortured. May the gods have mercy upon you demon kin.
the woman knocks Rosalie out by chopping the back of her neck. She sighs sheathing her blade. she leans down grabbing Rosalie she makes her way to berg. thinking back on her orders from the heroes.
azamiya sits around a table sipping his tea with tsunon present. the mysterious woman right across the table.
[azamiya] We need you to find and jail a demon kin with black crow like wings. she has a tall figure and uses daggers. she may possibly be able to summon demons. we have reason to believe she was responsible for the attack on falmuth, while they believe we did it. we need her alive.
tsunon doesn't talk just sips tea. the woman looks at her. the two never got along according to her information. where is the third hero? the woman doesn't know but refuses to bring up her questions. to her orders are absolute let others worry about proof or not.
[???] What is her name?
[Tsunon] Don't worry Anna just do as your told. bring any in the village in the forests near falmuth. one by one if you need to. Remember she is very dangerous. try not to be spotted she has a very powerful knight loyal to her. more than a match for you, and even us.
[Anna] Very well I shall starts at the forest villages around falmuth. I'll be there in a few days. I shall not fail.
she salutes then turns and walks off to finish this job.
back to the present Rosalie wakes up in a cell chained by her neck arms and legs her wings are tied. she doesn't have any idea where she is. moonlight dripping in through the window only illuminating a small area.
Anna walks forward into the moonlight.
"I am Anna rigurt, and I am the vice captain of the royal knights of berg."
she grabs a few tools from her belt.
"I am here to interrogate you for the suspected crimes of demonic patronage sacrifice war crimes, and trying to cause a war between berg and falmuth."
Rosalie shakes her head I may be able to summon demons but they don't require sacrifice.
The woman grabs rosalies tongue. and pulls out a knife. Hold your filthy tongue until I am finished.
Rosalie slightly nods tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Now first question. are you the one who summoned the demons to attack falmuth?"
Rosalie shakes her head no.
"Do you have any proof you aren't the one who did it?"
Rosalie nods
"Very well where is the evidence?"
Rosalie sighs" I fought in the war with the 7 sss ranks of falmuth. I also fought with my mate reiji."
[anna] ....m..mm..mmm.. maaaate?
Rosalie chuckles" yeah once a demonkin has mated they are then bound to that person until either if them die. it's like a contract but not as unpleasant. depending on the demonkin."
[anna] this is absurd back to the questions. purposeful try to distract me again, and I will start breaking your fingers.
Rosalie nods shaking the chains she's bound in.
[Anna] Did you abduct the third hero taiga?
Rosalie shakes her head "I don't know anyone named taiga is that even a name?"
[Anna] How have you not heard of the heroes?
Rosali rattles the chains a bit spitting on the ground.
"listen I grew up in the forest I hadn't been to the city until I needed help to get my people from slavers. we have demon kin devil kin elves dwarves. many kinds of races. there was only one who helped and he is my mate."
"Forgive me if I don't know some wanna be heroes to me there is only 1 hero reiji hashimya.
[anna] You dare insult the heroes?
she grabs rosalies finger and snaps it. causing Rosalie to scream out in pain. A laugh echoes nearby causing anna to turn to face it.
Tsunon walks to the cell.
[Tsunon] What does this reiji look like? I knew someone with that name, but he is long dead.
Rosalie through her tears spits on the woman. wiping off the spit tsunon nods to anna. Anna breaks another finger.
Rosalie screams out in agony as the interrogation continues. the sound of breaking bones, and screams echoing through the night.
Back to reiji just arriving in rosalies village. he starts running calling out for rosalie. when he walks into the gates his jaw drops. there is a few dead bodies of beasts, and villagers alike. feathers scattered everywhere.
A voice comes from behind him.
[????] Lord reiji good to see you.
The voice belongs to rosalies mother.
"Have you seen my duaghter? she stayed to fight the person who caused this. She hasn't returned yet. we didn't hear anymore fighting so we came out from our hiding place."
Reiji has a bad feeling in his stomach. he grabs a feather staring at it..."Rosalie"
"There is a woman and child making their way here slowly they are under my protection. who else was here?"
A voice from the side delivered the news reiji feared.
[???] She was taken by a knight from berg I saw the woman carry her off.
Reiji grabs the man crushing his shoulders slowly.
"Why didn't you stop them? Do you all not know she helped save you all?"
rosalies mother drops to her knees crying in denial.
" No no she..she hasn't been taken there. your lying."
The man revealed an orb with the vision of anna on it.
"This is a vision orb which carries visual scenes that I witness."
