In a luxurious bathroom.
This place should be called a bath house due to the sheer size of it being bigger than an apartment. Built with the highest grade of material possible, it is truly the bath house of kings.
In the middle of it, antique marble statues of naked ladies holding water jugs are displayed at four corners of a bathing pool. Steam rises from the pool constantly thanks to the expensive system running underneath the room. The cost of this place to a normal person is simply unfathomable.
Right now, two young beautiful women are submerged in the soothing warm water. Their lover is sleeping soundly after an 'energetic' morning. They have come to clean themselves up, preparing for the next session if he wants it. The water also has some healing properties, making the pain from the lower regions more bearable. By taking the bath, they can recover faster, so that he can enjoy their bodies at the most perfect state.
"Did you expect that fucker to go back to school?" To break the silence, one person asks the other.
"Of course, Miss Marie. I did."
"You saw the clip, right? He was a complete mess. How did you even think of it? He shouldn't have the power to walk, let alone go back to school."
"Miss Marie. We are not kids anymore. We are adults. And the adults do not play games. We do not take chances."
"What do you mean?"
Bianca sighs. She feels like her brain cells are dropping just by talking to this person in front.
"What I mean is, unlike you, who has no idea what is going on with everything, I have already sent my people to the hospital, his dormitory, and the Magic Academy to wait for him. We should be hearing the good news from one of the three groups anytime now."
Marie shivers. She has goosebumps all over.
"Do you have to go that far?"
"Miss Marie." Bianca looks at Marie with terrifying eyes. "Do I take it that you still have any kind of feelings to that worm?"
Even when soaked in warm water, Marie still feels cold. It's not from the temperature, but the stares of Bianca.
The glare is straight into her soul.
"Of...of course not!! I was just wondering why would we go that far for a low life!" Marie stutters.
"Oh, fret not dear Marie. I would not say that I went too far on that vermin."
"Who did you send out?"
"Just my guards. A couple of competent level 4s and level 5s. Nothing too fancy."
"You sent level 5s? Isn't that too obvious? People will say something!"
"What is there to say about a dead man? Remember, my dear Marie, we have the morals on our side. When that vermin dies, the truth will forever be covered. You know, my father has a very accurate saying."
"What is it?"
"What can not be purchased by money, can be purchased by lots of money."
"Is that so..."
"It is the way of life, my dear Marie. Always have, always will be. To be honest, not only did I send out my guards, I sent the best of them to the school as well."
"How good is he?"
"His teacher is my father's chief guard, a level 6.7. He has received extensive trainings on a very particular Architecture Spell. His level should be closer to a 5.4."
"Then he can crush that fucker easily."
"Without a wound." Bianca smiles. Victory in her mind is already confirmed. She is only waiting for the notification to come.
*Knock knock*
"Ah. That must be them." Bianca says as she gets up from the pool.
Completely in her birthday suit, she walks towards and opens the wooden door.
A maid is already bowing her head. Her back and legs make a perfect 90 degree.
"Please pardon my interuption, My Lady. The first team is back."
"Excellent! Send them to my office."
"Of course, My Lady." The maid walks away quickly.
Bianca raises both of her arms sideways while moving forward, and a towel is put on to her naked body by another maid.
As Bianca makes her way towards the office, the maids around her has already finished with dressing her up in her normal red attire. The hair and make up have also been carefully prepared. All within a few minutes of walking.
In her office, a man in a suit is waiting patiently. In his arms is a cake box. The box itself is weirdly big, at the size of a wedding cake. On the outside, it is decorated by red glitter paper and a pink ribbon.
There is also a card that says:" A gift for the soon to be bride" attached to the ribbon.
Bianca walks in.
Immediately, the guy stands up, still holding the cake box like it is his life.
"Good morning, my lady." He says. There is a specific coarseness in his voice.
Bianca notices his voice being a little off, but pays it no mind. He can drink water later, after reporting to her what they have done to that ant.
"Are you here to bring me the good news?" She asks. Her eyes look closely at the cake box.
"Certainly, My Lady. Everything has gone exactly like what you have guessed. No one can have predicted it better than you."
"Hoho. Flattery will get you nowhere. Now tell me, what is inside of that box? Is it what I think it is?"
Bianca looks at his eyes.
There is just something about them that seems abnormal. His pupils are wide, like he is not focusing at anything at all. Even when Bianca is standind right in front of his face.
Nonetheless, he is one of the level 5s sent to the hospital, the content inside of the box should be the head of a certain insect.
"You do not have a bomb inside, do you?" Her amber eyes stare at him.
The man immediately sweats.
"My Lady, I would never do such a thing. My loyalty to you all these years have never changed."
"I do believe you. It is not like you can bring a bomb inside of this mansion anyway." She nods.
"Let me take a closer look. Ara ara. 'a gift for a soon to be bride'. Who made this card?"
"It was me, My Lady."
"You are going to get a raise. Double it! Maids!"
"Thank you, My Lady." He looks happy.
Yet his eyes still the same eerie feeling.
"Yes, My Lady. We have had it noted down." Out from the corners, two maids reply.
"Very well done. Spendidly well done. Now, shall we open the box?"
"Then I will open it for you,..."
"Stop!" Bianca signals him to hold with her hand. "I want to do the unboxing. Afterall, this is my present, correct?"
"Of course, My Lady."
She is in a really happy mood.
Being able to get rid of the vermin, and having his head presented in such a way, Bianca feels like she is in a trance.
Softly pulls the ribbon off, she makes a comment.
"Silk ribbon. Not the highest quality, but not too bad. I like it. The shape of the ribbon is also very carefully tied, I see. A heart. But what matters the most is the content."
She lifts up the cover.
There are 6 heads, cut evenly and placed into a heart shape. The eyes of the heads display agony and pain beyond imagination. Before dying, these people were greatly tormented.
None of them has a left eye.
The blood from the heads have long coagulated into a deep red color, matching that on the outside. Even though the heads are still fresh, the smell of blood and gore is nauseating.
Immediately upon opening them, Bianca's face goes pale.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!!??" She points at him.
"EheheheheheheheheheHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" The guy laughs hysterically out of nowhere.
"ANSWER ME NOW!!" There is definitely fear in her voice.
*Boom*
His head explodes.
Blood, brain matter and bone fragments fly around the room, painting the magnificient classic style room into a crimson color.
Bianca white skin is dyed a disgusting red color.
Her perfume is dressed in the smell of iron and gore.
She was once the princess dressed in red.
She is now no princess.
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Biaca's deafening screams echo in the mansion.
