"P... Please... Please... Stop," Lady Angelica said with her now seemingly weak voice that could barely be heard.
Even though she was not moving her lips it was still very difficult for her to speak and at some point, she had been lifted from the damp floor of the place and was now floating a few feet above the dark floor only held by what seemed to be a thick red rope wrapped around her neck which was still notoriously squeezing and suffocating her.
"No one forced you to come to this place... and anyone who received such a pleasant gift at their doorstep would definitely not return it, who would be so crazy as to do so?"
Few could notice it but the red rope was completely impeding the flow of air and blood inside Lady Angelica's body, and she was about to lose consciousness but the strength of the rope weakened a little letting her recover momentarily without releasing the strong grip they had on her.
A mad and twisted laughter could be heard echoing in the darkness as if it were a person who had lost his sanity a long time ago, this laughter showed that he had never really been sane. That laughter was only overshadowed by the maniacal smile that could be seen on Azter's face who unblinkingly was enjoying the moment and now had the expression of a child playing with his new toy.
Every time Lady Angelica felt that she was about to faint and die, the grip on her neck becomes a little weaker but the moment she tried to speak again the tentacle holding her will tighten. It was a horrible feeling as if her life was hanging by a thread and the one who controlled that thread was the man in front of her having the power to cut it at any time.
An unknown amount of time passed by which seemed like the whole life of Lady Angelica yet the laughter did not stop echoing in the place.
The white veil that blocked Lady Angelica's face had been wet by tears for a while and she had long ago lost the strength to resist and try to remove those ties from her neck.
Azter was still watching her amusingly and laughing madly at the moments she was about to faint or should I say die.
Lady Angelica began to notice the tears in her face as a new tentacle began to come out of the rope at the base of her neck which had the thickness of two fingers. That slimy red line lifted the white veil which revealed a large reddish eye that had been continuously shedding tears for a long amount of time.
Directly meeting Azter's completely black eyes and maniacal expression, lady Angelica could not help but show a horrible expression. A face of fear and resignation could be seen plastered in her face and a gaze which seemed dark as if all the light had vanished.
"k.…Kill me...Please." Angelica pleads.
"Is the great Lady Angelica, the imperial consultant begging me to kill her? Is this all you are capable of enduring? I am disappointed." Azter said.
That tentacle of blood that had lifted the veil slowly began to caress her face as if it was removing the remnants of the tears that remained on Lady Angelica's perfect cheeks.
"Are you afraid? but you know, I enjoy it the most when people lose their will to live because killing a person with all their might is boring. It is better to wait and make them wish they were dead, maybe if you had the ability right now you would have already killed yourself."Azter said with a horrifyingly laughter, a laughter that sounded like it came from someone locked up in a mental institution.
The tentacle gently caressed those pretty cheeks, beginning to advance and landing on the woman's cherry-colored lips, running from left to right giving the impression that the red rope seemed more like a tongue.
"I must say that at this moment you look extremely beautiful...".
Just as he finished his sentence, the red tentacle tightly clenched Angelica's neck making her eyes turned completely white with no other color but then a fair and firm voice resounded in a high volume.
"Azter stop it right now."
"Seikro you bast..."
And as if by magic the other eye that until now had remained black changed to white as all the strings of blood disappeared and Lady Angelica's limp body began to fall rapidly almost hitting the ground but because Seikro had moved forward with an extremely fast speed to hold her in his arms, she avoided the blow.
"Nooo! Get away!" Angelica said and with what little strength she had left, the slender woman was able to free herself from Seikro's hands looking everywhere as if desperately trying to find a way out.
"Fiuuu" A sound of something sharp traveling quickly could be heard followed by a "Splat" as if something fell on the wet ground.
Lady Angelica who looked behind her was shoked at the scene that she saw because a few meters away, she could see Seikro who was on his knees holding a severed arm with one of his hands and if you looked closely then you would notice that it came from his own body.
"It was my mistake that you had to meet Azter, please accept this offering as an apology. I know that you know what this means, I just want you to listen to me for a moment and if you are still not happy, I will end our life myself."
A righteous voice echoed throughout the place as if it was an immortal hero and anyone who heard him speak would know that such firmness and honesty was not something that could be faked.
"I know Azter has caused you great pains but I would like you to try and understand that he has suffered a lot and his mind is very unstable right now because he is the only me who has memories of all the years of torture and experiments to which we were subjected against our will, and so the hate, pain, resentment and despair has highly affected him. Actually, we have all been affected in one way or another but he... he simply could not stand it and he left.
I will personally see to it that he never shows himself but in reality, he wanted to come and talk to you and at that moment he took advantage of it, I did what I could do to regain control in the shortest time possible but it was not fast enough and for that I am willing to pay with our lives, you only have to give me the order although if you could find the kindness in your heart which we don't deserve, I would be extremely grateful and I would be willing to follow you in this life."
He turned his gaze to the surprised Lady Angelica, and with his remaining hand pointed his fingers to his neck then a sharp red needle with a thickness of a finger began to emerge, placing it right on the surface of his neck.
Small drops of blood could be seen emerging from his neck and as if he was waiting for the order to kill himself he stared at her with a decisive look on his face.
