As me, Julia, Lynn, Elize, Asmodeus and Frine are walking in the middle of this forest back to the castle having left without a carriage on Elize's orders, and then;
"You guys can you continue walking back to the castle, I'll be right behind you..." Asmodeus spoke in a carefree tone.
"My maid, what are you going to do..." I ask her as the others tilt their heads in confusion.
"Are you going to - - -" this time it was Elize who spoke in a worried tone.
"... I just remembered something I had to do so---please don't worry," she spoke convincingly as Elize replied.
"Okay, but please be back before nightfall."
"Yes, My Lady."
"Can I come with you," I ask Asmodeus to take me with her because of the strange feeling telling me not to let her go.
"It's okay Aine, its just simple manual work - - I'll be back." She spoke while embracing me into her chest.
"Okay then - - please be back, my maid." We wave to Asmodeus as she watches us leave into a distance and then;
"You really are a knight, letting them leave so as to not let them interfere in your affairs, Lady Asmodeus..." It was a man with a sword at his waist sitted on a tree dressed in a black suit wielding immense demonic aura.
"Its good that Elize was distracted by Aine - - - that's why she couldn't not sense your presence lurking the entire day," Asmodeus' eyes turn bloodred as she replies dreadfully.
"Why is it good?" the black haired man with deep red eyes tilts his head in confusion and continues, "It seems the person I have been sent to kill is crazy--and because of that, I will fight till you are put down."
"I won't ask who you are because I know those traitorous knights of mine sent you to finish me off while the curse takes its full effect on me today," Asmodeus speaks with her eyes closed shaking her head in a carefree manner.
"Yes, 'The Curse of Xenos' that can only be cast on powerful beings such as yourself and Demon Queen Elize - - - how magnificent!!, after being cast on the target, it takes ten years to fully activate and the end result is - - the target kills everything she sees until there is nothing left to kill but herself. "
" HAHAHA!! HAHAHA!! "
" What a magnificent suffering you have gone through in these ten years knowing your going to die even if you struggle, " the man jumps down while brimming with laughter having figured out my weaknesses.
" Now remember my name it's Hilt Greed the bounty hunter since the die has been cast--its time to die my little accursed Asmodeus, " the man holds the sword at his waist ready to fight as he deep red eyes turn to pure bloodred eyes.
Her eyes completely turn red with some blood coming out from them as the trees around them split just from their blood lust;
" No, those are my words - - you lowly insignificant worm."
