"Come on, don't you want to take a peep?. I'm quite handsome you know."
Lisa:"..."
"Tsk..fine." He shrugged his shoulders and started wearing his clothes which he had picked from his room.
Lisa could hear clothes shuffling behind her and she didn't dare to look if not, she wasn't sure if she would still remain conscious.
"Celestial called for a meeting." He informed and came to stand at her front, fully dressed. He extended his hand to her and she took it and stood up.
"Are we going there now?." She asked him to see him nod. Lisa took just a step forward but lucas pushed her to stay behind him and pulled out his sword. In front of them stood a grim reaper, it's bony fingers were stretched out and were pointing at Lisa who was utterly shocked.
It moved its jaws and spoke a foreign language that Lisa didn't understand but Lucas heard it loud and clear.
"Death is coming from her." It whispered before disappearing and Lucas's eyes narrowed at this information.
"What did it say?" Lisa asked him and he kept his sword aside.
"It was looking for Ezekiel." He lied and she nodded without a doubt.
Leaving the room, Lisa saw a young lady wearing a maid uniform waiting. She had long black hair and pretty green eyes. She had to admit, the girl was a beauty.
"I forgot to mention it to you that you now have a personal maid."
The maid bowed her head deeply while cursing her luck in her mind which Lucas returned with a nod. Lisa stood akwardly, not been used to all the maids and royal stuff, she copied what Lucas did.
Ignoring the maid, Lucas linked hands with Lisa and walked off to meet Celestial. As quickly as she could, Carmillia followed right behind them grumpily.
Fortunately, celestial's room wasn't too far away and they arrived in a matter of minutes. The room wasn't too distinct from other rooms but was quite large and spacious, occupying various spells and potions on different tables.
"Greetings your Highness." Celestial bowed at the newly arrived guests and Lucas rolled his eyes.
"Where is Ezekiel?." He asked as that was the only person missing.
"About that.." She hesitated." He called me late and informed me that he would not be present as he had some things to deal with."
Lucas who had predicted his actions narrowed his eyes as it seemed like Ezekiel had some involvement with the missing portrait. And it wasn't only on the portrait but something else. A deep dark secret which Lucas had buried in the past.
After that, both Lucas and Lisa made thier way to one of the plush seats and Carmillia stood a reasonable distance away from the seat.
The people in the room consisted of Sebastian, Celestial, Lucas, Lisa and Carmillia. Each one of them submerged in thier own thoughts.
"The reason I called you guys here was to-" Celestial started but got cut off by the entry of someone they never expected.
Everyone stared at Alex who looked battered and had blood splattered on him but the most surprised person was Lisa.
As soon as Alex entered, his eyes searched for his sister and when he saw her, he gave her a reassuring smile but his smile disappeared when he saw the goddess of beauty, sitting on the other side of the room. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever set eyes on, with long silver hair, coupled with similar coloured eyes and a long white gown.
Letting his eyes wander more, he saw a really good looking guy with red fiery hair and red eyes. Going back to his sister, he noticed that he failed to see someone beside her and when he locked gaze with a pair of blue eyes, he subconsciously stepped backwards due to fear.
'Who was the man that sat close to his sister?.' Alex could sense that he was a demon but he was different..
"Why the fuck are you out!?" Lucas broke the silence coldly.
"Lucas.." Lisa frowned at his harsh words but he glared at her which shut her up immediately.
"I-i came to take my sister away from you." Alex managed to say and in a second Lucas appeared in from of him, holding his neck tightly.
"What do you mean take?."
Alex struggled to breath but still forced out the answer"A monster like you is not meant to be with someone like her!." Lucas tightened his grip around Alex's neck and Lisa screamed his name.
"Lucas stop!." Lucas's hand froze in the air and he left Alex who fell on the floor with a thud. He turned around to stare at Lisa that looked at him fearfully and it fuelled the rage in him, making him angrily leave the room, slamming the door behind him.
Lisa stared at the door that he left through and her chest tightened as she saw Lucas's expression look hurt before he left. Why did he look so hurt?.
Going to her brother, she helped him stand up" I'm sorry about his behaviour but I have to go."
He nodded his head and immediately she left the room to look for Lucas.
Carmillia seeing this, sighed tiredly before following Lisa to stop her from going to Lucas who looked like a ticking time bomb. She had just taken a step outside but was yanked by her hand and was pushed to the wall whilst the person covered her mouth.
Alarmed, Carmillia bit the person's hand and she heard the person shout" Ouch!. Are you a cat or vampire that goes around biting people's hands?!." He held his hand in Agony.
"Well at least I'm better than you who goes around putting thier dirty hand in people's mouth." She replied.
"I know why you bit me. It's because you crave for me."
Carmillia: "..."
"If you crave for me that much just tell me and I will willingly give you all of me. After all I belong to you."
