Chapter 40 - CHAPTER FORTY.

Delia face twitch with disdain and with great annoyance, she growled.

"TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!!!"

A sinister smile appeared on his perfect lips."As you wish, my dear." Without hesitation, Leonard let go of Delia.

'Realizing what she had said and what was behind those smile on his lips, she regretted her word.'

"BASTARD!!!" She yelled at him as she was released from his grip and she found herself rolling down the stairs until the last.

She grits her teeth while groaning in pain as she glares at Leonard who elegantly walked down the stairs and stopped before her.

"What?" He asked, looking so innocent but she was not a fool to fall for that."I did as you've asked, let you go before you fall for me." He laughed and jumped pass over her.

"Enjoy your time lying on floor, goodbye." And he walked away.

"Jerk!" She murmurs."JERK!!!!" She yelled as her voice echoes through the hallway.

~Meanwhile in Arystarr~.

In Dimitrix's carriage, Dimitrix sat deep in thought not aware of Erik appearance."My Lord-"

"Ah!You scared me.Can't you make your presence known, why you so quiet!" He scolds."Never mind, What are those two idiots up to?Update me!"

"They are planning on changing the looks of the castle and i overheard Lady Elvira informing old Lady Susanna about her outing this afternoon." Erik quickly update him.

He hums and reach into his coat for his pocket watch."Few minutes before afternoon," He picked up his cigar and lit it up and smoke from it."What about her?"

Without saying her name, Erik knew who he was speaking about."She's at the garden with Wizard Agnes. Agnes would soon be off to his kingdom so they're.....".

Dimitrix waved his hand silencing him. "Enough for now. Let's wait and see where Elvira is off to and we follow!"

After dressing up and putting on her coat Elvira sneaked out of the castle and with feet she head over to Astoria Villa.

On reaching there, she waited at the side walk waiting for someone not knowing she was being followed.

A black carriage pulled in front of her, immediately she step in.

"Are you sure you aren't followed?" A man covered in black cloak asked.

"Am not stupid, Luther!" She spat and crossed her leg.

Luther took off his cloak."So how is your dare husband to be?"

"Why ask when you don't care?" She retorts.

"I do care cause soon I will make him pay, one at a time," He promised."Until this moment i keep wondering why you're helping me." He wondered.

"Cause Dimitrix hurt me back then and so i was going to make him-"

"Pay?" Luther completed her statement. "But now he has granted your wish," Luther recline his back against the seat and crossed his leg over the other and picked up his glass of whisky.

"Of making you his and also his Queen are you going to back out now?" He tilts his head with his brows roses high.

She bit the bottom of her lips before speaking."I haven't achieved my goals YET!.I don't want to only be his wife but also someone he loves and cherish but that can't happen cause his heart don't belong to me but someone else and if I can't get it then we go on with the plan."

He smirk. "Do you believe i would wait for you to get him to fall for you before I exceed with my plan to have a massacre all over this kingdom?"

Elvira brow rose high in question."what do you think?" She let out a dry laugh."Without me you won't have a free pass to Arystarr Empire.Just look at what i did, i gave you the passport to Arystarr, a free entry into here anytime and any day without being held back, i also gave you your personal house and a change of identity, Dimitrix didn't even know you were at the party last night.Just look at what i am capable of!!" She snaps her finger as she morph back into her real appearance.

Her hair become white, her eyes a dark emerald colour, her finger dark and long and her face as white as paper.

"And I can do more for you." She smiled revealing her snakelike tongue.

Luther mouth was an open 'O' as he stared at her with a sour expression."Y..Y...Y..You are..a..re a. ...a...sh..shape..shifter?R..Right?"

"No silly," She laughed devilishly."Please don't compare me with those lowly creature. Am a demon, the one that has been watching over you."

Luther eyes widen in shock."Black magic, it was you in my dream that-"

"Yes, it's i."

Luther drew out his sword."W...what do you want in return, a demon don't do anything for free, Why did you help me?"

"So I can get mine in return. Am not as strong as before," She exclaims while lowering his sword."So I took this disguise and decided to wander around in search of something to regain my strength and I found it, Dimitrix's heart was going to regain my strength, i stayed next to him to find the perfect timing but instead I fall in love.So if he refuses to love me then I go with my plans." She smiled wickedly.

~~In A Private Inn~~.

"So that's what she wants?" Dimitrix hums while twirling the contain in the glass."Not only that, she's also a Demon. Do you have a plan?Taking down that demon?"

Erik stroke his chin."She isn't as strong like before, so it will be easy to take her down." Erik inform.

Dimitrix looked at Erik for a while before speaking."If I may say Erik, sometimes I think you are more than just a human...."

"What now?You want to leave with me?" Agnes questioned.

'Yes' She wanted to see her father, Esmeralda and also pay a visit to Vivian at her graveyard, the invitation was so tempting but she could not return since she had made a promise to Agnes.

Eleanor cracked a bitter smile."Why ask when you know you won't take me back."

He nods in agreement."You yourself does not want to leave Arystarr-"

"That was before my heart was scattered!" She said sadly.

Agnes hum."Then you stay and endure."

Eleanor sigh."Do you have any idea how cruel you are?"

He shrugged. "I was just stating the fact.You chose this so endure!!" He stood up from the grass and dusted his pants. "Am on my way back to Kistanklan. Farewell!" And he head out with Eleanor following behind.

Elvira who just happen to walk into the gate bumped into Eleanor causing her to stagger back.

Furiously, She yelled. "ARE YOU THAT BLIND THAT YOU CAN'T SEE ME!!!!"

Eleanor was about to retort but refrain herself from doing so on seeing Agnes disapproval face.

Elvira grunts and left in a huff.

"What's wrong, Agnes??" She quickly ask on seeing his solemn expression.

"I will leave by nightfall, i need to have a word with your master first." And he took a u-turn, back into the palace.

'Later In The Evening'.

Erik knocked before pushing the door of his master study room open and dropped a pile of papers before him.

Dimitrix lifted his gaze up to look at Erik."Get me a full cup of coffee, i have a feeling i won't be getting any sleep tonight."

"Should I bring in few beautiful maiden to keep you company tonight...." As those words left his lips, he earned a murderous glare from Dimitrix and Erik regretted his statement. "I apologize." He quickly said and bow his head.

"How is Eleanor?" He asked with desperation in his voice.

He was desperate to see her, hear her voice, see her laugh, looking cheerful but couldn't dare to approach her.

"She wishes to go back to the servant quarter."

A deep frown appeared on his face."Don't grant her that wish, I will take care of it.You may leave, Erik." Without waiting for Erik to leave, he focus back on his work.

"My Lord," Erik called solemnly. "Agnes wish to meet with you." He informs.

Dimitrix and Erik match their way to balcony where Agnes await them.

Erik opens the door to the balcony as they were greeted with the smell of cocaine.

Dimitrix let out a sardonic laughter."Whoa!!Can't believe the mighty Wizard could smoke or is my smoking habit infectious!"

Ignoring his dramatic act, Agnes spoke."We have a more serious matter at hand."

Dimitrix yawns."So boring, Go on,Wizard."

"There is a demon in your palace, Elvira."

"I know."

"You know?You know?And here you are acting like it's nothing.If she gets away with what she wants then she's unstoppable!"

With a suspicious gaze, he question."You act as if you know more then them."

Agnes shrugs nonchalantly."That's why am known as the powerful wizard, is not just a name for nothing, I know a lot of things you don't know, Lord Dimitrix"

"So what is to be done?"

"Here." He reached into his coat pocket and brought out a small bag containing potions."Pour this all over the palace, drink from it and so do Eleanor, she won't sense any danger since she's not as strong as she was.Don't drink what she gives, eats, what she offers or go anywhere without Erik." He inform him.

Dimitrix yanked the bag from him."Don't speak to me like a child!!" He snaps."Erik, escort him out!" Dimitrix headed for the door when he heard Agnes say.

"Those your actions are hurting my fiancee."

Dimitrix stops in track as his face hardened. "WHAT!!!"

"I know you know she loves you and you feel the same, so stop being foolish and be with her or one day you might not get to be with her again and might come to regret-"

"Don't need your permission!" He retorts.

"So should I just have her for myself instead??"Agnes tilts his head.

"Erik escort him out!!" He repeated and walked away, closing the door behind him.

Once Agnes was sure Dimitrix was gone he cracked a smile before saying. "Mighty Demon Erik, it's a pleasure to finally stand and speak before." And Agnes fell on his knees.
