Chapter twenty four
Song recommendation . Ddu du ddu du by BLACKPINK . My bag by (G)idle .
What was that thing anyway?? She dare not look up from her position but she could see that this person or whatever was it ,was tall .
So tall !
She had to crane her neck to get a view , which she didn't .
She tried to catch her breath as she let her eyes roamed around .
At least if she was going to become this monsters dinner , she could at least look around . She caught a glimpse of a huge castle that stood lonely on the farther end of the corner
She totally had not noticed it . Who would ? Especially when they are being faced by s minster that they didn't even know it's name
"Mr black cloak , you look quite handsome if I may say . " She squeezed out a smile out of her disfigured face from the scrunch .
She was scared to her bones , with fears dripping right into her veins .
But still she has to try something, no ?
The tall one stood in front of her without saying anything . The light of the moon fell on the left side of the cloak that wasn't exactly closed too tight , granting Niverea the opportunity to catch a glimpse of a perfect jawline .
Wow .
So a monster can gas a pretty jawline too ? Niverea wasn't aware of that fact .
"Mr ? Why so pretty ? What a shame your face is half covered . You would have put the most handsome face in this land to shame . I mean , look at that sharp jawline . " She shook her head getting too immersed in the character .
" Look , I know you're hungry and in need of food . But as you can see , or maybe you can't see but I'm terminally ill . With an incurable disease . This disease can be contacted by blood or meat transfusion . Meat transfusion? " Niverea was confused for a second .
What's meat transfusion??
It looked like there was nothing like that , but still making it up in this situation doesn't seems too bad .
Niverea had for once longed to become an actress in the village theater . She spent a lot of time , visiting the place and watching with awe and admiration on her face and the actors and actresses plays their role .
So she was quite confident of her acting skill . But still , it isn't good to get too immersed in the character , not in a situation like this . Who knows?
She might eventually overdo herself and everything is going to go down the train .
"So all I'm trying to say if just to help you out. I'm sure you'll find some other prey soon . So ,why don't you let me go? ." She looked up and smiled so brightly that one would almost get blind .
That smile that reached all the way to her ear . But the weird part was just that , the whatever it was , just stood there without doing or saying anything .
Not turning back to look at her , nor growling .
So what's the issue ?
Is this part of some other things that she wasn't going aware of ? Yeah ,she definitely know that this place was filled with many weird people and creatures that she wasn't aware of .
She gradually stood up , dusted her knees as she had come to a conclusion that it probably meant no harm . The ashes was still falling but at a lesser pace . She looked up once again and gasped .
Just a side profile under the moonlight never looked so pretty and masculine at the same time . She was sure that whatever this thing was , it was totally fire . Like totally handsome .
Niverea slapped herself lightly on the cheek and shook her head aggressively . She couldn't afford to get distracted now .
Now the problem was half solved . The man / whatever in dark cloak was just standing there without doing anything . And now she couldn't go back .
She just knew it somehow that she shouldn't .
But where could she go ??
An idea popped inside her head but she was quick to dismiss it . It couldn't be possible .
The scary looking mansion that wasn't so far from where she was , could she just go there ?
Yeah yeah! She couldn't .
No one in their right mind would . But she wasn't in her right mind now . She really wasn't in her mind .
She lost the cow , she had death waiting for her at home . And apparently death looked like it was following her too .
She glanced back at the tall figure that looked as elegant as ever , with the dark cloak and the falling ashes .
He looked so picturesque that Niverea wanted to paint him . Not that she was a great painter , but the elegance and masculinity exuding from the posture and the broad back needed to be studied .
It needed to be locked up in a museum where everyone could come and take a look at it .
She gently and stealthily moved away from the figure and tried to blend in with the dark and ashes as she moved .
The mansion stood there and Niverea was again turn between making decisions between inexistent choices .
Who was she kidding?
She had no choice from the beginning .she had no choice but to enter the mansion and perhaps die .
But it would actually be better if she died from madvil's beating . It would be less brutal than to be tore from limb to limb .
*
Lord Cian hadn't has this type of fun in like a thousand years. He stood rooted there ,as he listened to her thought.
She was really one unpredictable lady. Her thought was all jumbled and the way she picks on herself and thinks about death every time is amusing .
A light smirk grazed his lips when she heard her thinking about going into the mansion . Oh no
She'll be scared out of her wits today . The gyoles would do more than kill her . They would tortured her , in ways she didn't know was possible .
Her cries of agony would be delicious and her soul would be left to wander alone untill it actually turned corrupt .
When it would now be devoured as a snack . She had better not enter .
He was thinking but he would stop her . Why should he ,??
He was feeling generous today and that was the reason she wasn't dead yet. She even thinks of him as one of the weird part of the city .
If only she knew .
He had been feeling cooped , and since a hundred years ago he decided to come out tonight in his real form .
With body .
Most of the places or event that he only attended once in forever ,he simply went in his hollo form .
That means sending , another part of you to replace you somewhere. It's just like a clone .
Something had been itching him lately . To go out . To go out .
It felt like there was going to be a big occurrence somewhere near him , and it doesn't even have the do with the notice he sent out .
Just thinking about it elated him . That lousy dummy of a general had made it his homework to come tomorrow his house everyday . Begging for the other half of his soul .
Sometimes , he relay a message or two from his father .
And yesterday was one of that day . That day was the day when general Lawson would be told that pass some useless or old new to him and do something new ..
Nothing had been new to him . Nothing!
But he never wants to get involved with the empire and it's resources and people . The people whose evilness was mostly benefitted from his father .
True , demons are all made of magic , fire and different components . But most demons got greedy for power and they tend to soccery . And mostly the dark soccery .
To increase their power . Cian wasn't one of them , he knew he was totally different .
He had always been different from birth . So playing around tonight and killing a few annoying Catyra had been no fun , until he met her .
That scrawny girl . With scars all over her body .
He disappeared from where he was staying and appeared inside his room . He extended his telepathic powers and listened to her thought .
"Should I go ? "
"Should I not go? "
"Should I enter?"
Those were the sentences in her mind . Oh looks like she's torn between two bad options ..
Just that they is a cheat code for one .
Finally , she decided not to enter the mansion as she was too scared and fear was rooted down her heart.
"Coward . " He muttered and a small smile made its way to his lips .
This is going to be perfect .
Then he remembers! He was going to have the new servants that were coming in tomorrow or probably the day after .
And he hates it . Talking with people mostly drain his energy and he preferred snapping their necks instead . It was more fun and wat easier than talking with a bunch of imbecile .
Huh , he sighed . He communicated telephatically with the gyoles and told them to the bath .
He should relax and prepare himself from tommorow. Not that anything needs to be prepared but he was feeling different today .
He didn't know what it was , but something feels different about him today .
A buzz in his mind and he got the message that they were done preparing the bath . He stood up and with a whoosh of the air , he was in the spacious bathroom .
The bath tub was made of iron , as steam emitted from it .
Green and blue Sparks flies around and the bubble lifts up from the tub . The delicious odour of help filled the bathroom and he could almost taste it on his tongue .
How he missed his yearly trip to hell .
The screams and tears that filled the place was just as delightful as watching demons get tortured and tortured all over again .
He should perhaps go there tomorrow and instead of having an interview .
But he like ruckus and chaos . Causing them was his speciality .
He shed his clothes and took a dip in the bubbling hot chemical . It was a special soap that was made from remnants of latrgn energy .
The darkest energy since the creation . It took three hundred and fifty years of mining through the whole of hell just to get this little amount of pure latrgn .
His skin begin to peel and he could feel the energy connecting with his . There was a fierce battle between the two energy , old but powerful ,new but more powerful . In the end , his power won and he relished the pleasure of the peeking skin and melting bones .
He had truly missed this bath . He closed his eyes and allow the energy to absorb and mix together .
The blue and green liquid had turned dark brown and all his skin was gone .
