*****CHAPTER 21*****
The guard named Felix led Dimitrix to the dungeon where Eleanor was kept,quietly walking past the sleeping guard,they finally reached the dungeon but Eleanor was not there,the only body they saw was a dead person lying lifeless on the ground.
"I ask again where the hell did you take her!!!".
Instead of answering Felix scream for help alerting the sleeping guard.
"Damn you!".He cursed and slit Felix's head off.
The eight guards blitz towards Dimitrix with their weapon.
He flew into the air and landed on one of their shoulder,his leg coil around it and broke his neck,letting him fall on the floor.
He grab another one head and smashed it against the wall,Dimitrix speed towards the rest as he swung his sword forth and back as lighting bolt went flying here and there as it slits some bodies apart scattering on the floor like melons.
The last guard,Dimitrix bang his head against the wall enough for him to bleed."Where did your f**king King take the girl that occupied this prison.Answer me!!".
"No..ah".He growl in pain as his ear was immediately cut off.
"Trust me,I can stay here all day to torture you.Now talk".He demands as he smashed his head against the wall."SPEAK!!".
"I...I overheard them saying t...that..that...they are going to drown her for real this time-".
"Where!!".He interrupts.
"I....I....I can take you there".He offered as he was pushed forward."Then show me the way".Dimitrix cold voice rang in his ear as shiver ran down his spine.
"This way".And he led the way.
Luther and Vanessa finally arrived at Peri Ocean,that separated itself from Kistanklan Kingdom.
Vanessa lowered Eleanor to the ground and shifted her attention to her king."Why here?".She questioned.
"Here?i promised my people I won't do anything shady,including Belle, I don't want to trouble her".He scratch his temple. "Throw her off the cliff".
Eleanor who was already awake but couldn't stand since her legs and hands was bundled with rope.
"Get up!".She heard Vanessa say as she yanked her up.
"No!".And she uses her head to hit Vanessa's enough to draw blood from her forehead.
He smirks as he held the rope,earning a struggle from her."No wonder,Dimitrix is so in love with you!".
"W...what you saying?y....you got it all wrong".She spoke with cracking voice.
He shrugs."If that's what you wish to believe but right now it's time to go,darling".He dragged her to the edge of the cliff as she took a glimpse of what was beneath her.
Eleanor shook her head."P....Please don't. ...aaah".She screams as she was thrown down to the ocean below.
While falling,the only person she thought of and the only word that could ever come out from her lips at this point of death was.....
"DIMITRIX!!".She scream."Save me".She half whisper and was submerged into the cold water.
"Now,it's time to deal with that proud Lord".Luther said with enough disdain in his voice.
"Why don't you say it to my face".They all heard Dimitrix say .
As Luther whirl back his eyes widen in horror as he receive an unexpected blow causing him to stagger back,holding his broken nose.
Instantly,Vanessa lurched her attack at him as Dimitrix did the same.
Dimitrix attacked her ferociously as she try dodging his attacks but still end up getting wounded.
Vanessa crashed to the ground,panting heavyly.
"Where did you take Eleanor to??".Dimitrix asked, sounding gutturally.
Vanessa gave a low dry laughter. "Don't tell me that maid is the Princess of Esmeralda....".Before she could complete her words,she was kicked on the chest that sent her flying across.
Dimitrix picked one of her blade and raised it high and stabbed her on her shoulder. "Oops!".He exclaimed with an innocuous smile."I missed,I was actually aiming for your heart.Now tell me where the hell did you take Eleanor to!!".He scowl at her as he stabbed her further,earning a loud shrill from her.
"D..Down the ocean.Now let me go".She answered without hesitation.
After she answered,he raised his sword and stabbed her heart for real this time and she fell down dead.
His gaze shifted to Luther who was already escaping.
A wicked grin appeared on his lips.
'You can run all you want,Luther.I will surely catch you and you will pay for your sins'.With that,he submerge into the water in search for Eleanor.
After searching for up to an hour,Dimitrix finally found her,drowning down to the deepest water.Quickly,he swam below and reached for her,embracing her closer to him and he swim up to the surface of the water.
He gingerly lowered her onto the sand and shook her slightly."Eleanor,Eleanor..answer me".He called as he placed both hands on her chest,pushing"P...Please wake up".Dimitrix recline his head upon her breast."Eleanor!!.Wake up!Wake up Goddamn it!".For the first time,saddness and fear engulf him at the thought of losing someone,someone special to him."Eleanor, p...please".He drawl out.
Suddenly Eleanor wakes up,coughing out water from her mouth."Eleanor".He called as he caresses her back while she cough out water."Eleanor,are you alright?".She heard him speak in a very warm and gentle tone that brought hot tears to her eyes.
She shook her head as hot tears kept streaming down her cheek."Dimitrix".And she threw her arms around his neck,sobbing.
Dimitrix was greatly taken back by her gesture.
This was the first time he was this close to her,to the point he took in every of her pleasant fragrance that assailed every sense of reasoning.
It took him some moment before he regain his reasoning.
Instantly his strong arms wrap protectively around her while rubbing her back."It's alright,no one will ever harm you again".He assured her and she nods.
His arms felt warm and she got herself closer to him,resting her head against his hardened chest,where she found comfort.
"Am here nothing will happen and if it do,I will surely protect you".He tilt her chin up,so she could look up at him."Am here".And he pushed back her wet hair behind her ear and pressed his soft lips against her cold head."Ok?".
"Hm".And she nestled her head back to his chest.
~~
The entrance door of the inn where Dimitrix lounged in,opens as he walked in with the pale and tired Eleanor in his arms.
Everyone's attention was adverted to the couple who just walked in and the women couldn't help but squeal while the men looked away.
Dimitrix came to halt before the counter and spoke to the owner who didn't look a bit shocked,for he had seen a lot of unforgivable things."What do ya need,sir?".
"A first aid box with all the requirements in it".He informs.
Without waiting for any reply,he walked away leaving the owner baffled.
The owner would have declined but something about this intimidating strange man gave him the chills.
Dimitrix uses his leg to kick the door open and he walked in,closing it.
Gingerly he lowered Eleanor to the bed and sat next to her."You need to take your bath,darling. No offense but you stinks".
Eleanor snickers and nods.
She try to stand but she fell back to the bed."You're weak,let me take care of you this time around,huh?".Not waiting for her response,he pulled her into his embrace.
Eleanor was about to lean into his embrace but suddenly she felt him unbuttoning her dress from behind.
Instinctively,she jerk away from his electrifying touch."W...What are you trying to do,Sir".
"Undressing you,dummy".He said in between his boyish laugh that sounded pleasant to her ear.
"I don't want you to".She whispered. Dimitrix moved closer."Is that what you really what?".His voice sounded like devil luring her into something sinful.
She nods her head."Yes-".
"You can hardly stand,your back,your ribs is terribly injured and on top of that you are weak.Let me".He offered again.
She bit her lips determinedly while shaking her head in refusal."Then call a doctor,Sir.You are an Emperor not a physician".
"Firstly,stop calling me 'Sir',speak formally to me-".
Cutting him off,she defends. "B...but you are older than me".She said not able to meet his eyes.
She didn't know why she felt so wicked and bashful under his gaze.
"Nevertheless call me by my name Dimitrix,secondly, am not gonna call any f**king physician especially to see you naked,I will strangle him,be it a woman or a man I will kill them both before they even arrive here!!".He said firmly,leaving no room for argument."Let me".He spoke calmly. "Please".She said,giving him the green light to go ahead.
Her heart beats painfully in her chest as Dimitrix came closer and begin to unbuttoned her dress.
And when he started to undress her,a tide of pink creep to his face as he seemed unable to tear his gaze from each newly revealed inch of pale skin.
When her dress came off,he urged her to stand and when she did, her underwear follows,leaving her completely naked before him.
She felt shy and wicked beneath his burning gaze that seemed unable to leave her exposed pale skin.
He spoke in a nearly inaudible
voice."Eleanor".
She looked up at him but he had turned quiet,she waited,impatiently waiting for him to at least say a word or do something.
Instead his gaze traveled over her from head to toe with an unmistakable glow of lust and painful desire in his eyes which Eleanor noticed.
"You are beautiful,Eleanor".Blood rush up to her cheek as she never look away from his burning gaze.
'Why was his eyes as beautiful as crystal ruby,his face looking more beautiful than before,his voice was no longer as terrifying but sounded melodious to her ear.Why do her heart beats twice as normal, and why did she finally noticed his manly presence and see him as a real man instead of her master who she serves?'.So many why's reckon in her head but she had no answer to it.
What was this feeling she felt in her heart that kept burning?Perhaps was it LOVE?'.
"Let's get you in the bathtub".In an instant,he scooped her naked body into his arm and head towards the bathroom.
Eleanor hand wrapped round his neck as Dimitrix kept on talking but she wasn't listening,instead she found herself drowning into the spell of his deep voice and ruby glass eyes.
Dimitrix lowered her body into the bathtub as his face broke into a delightful smile."If you keep looking at me that way,I will think you've fallen for me,Princess".He teased.
'And Instead she had fallen for him'.
'OH CRAP!'.She thought.
