Markus looked at Madam Butterfly and said " Lady whatever the consequences I am ready to face it but please spare her. Even if I die she needs to live , she is carrying my child . I have just one request that even if you kill me promise me that you will safely escort her back to her home , that bastard Kaiser may try to harm her again ."
Hearing Markus mentioning ,that Saana was with child ,made Madam Butterfly smile and Saana with her face buried in her hands was shocked .
"What a liar!" Saana thought .
"Kaiser won't be able to do anything anymore let alone hurt your wife . I have taken care of him. See there is dead body " Madam Butterfly said pointing at a corner.
Both Markus and Saana looked and saw a dead body lying in that corner in a pool of blood .
"Thank you lady , I understand that you have saved my wife . I will be forever in your debt " Markus said .
Saana also said "Thank you " genuinely as she know understood how Kaiser's face was stabbed and how she was saved from being defiled .
Madam butterfly looked kindly at Markus and said " I don't plan to hurt you or your wife. You two are going to be parents. There are some lines that I never cross . You both can go but never say a word about what happened here to anyone . Just forget that tonight ever happened . And take good care of your wife , I understand that you will have to fight with your family in future for her . Just remember that the best things in life are always worth fighting for ."
Markus got up and now sat at Madam Butterfly's feet in a praying position and said
" Thank you whoever you are ,I don't know your name, but I can tell that you have a kind heart . You have given us a new life and we shall remember you always . If there's any time you ever need help with anything please visit us . You have saved my wife and our would be child , we will always be in your debt ."
Madam Butterfly replied ," You two have already repaid your debt . I had forgotten myself but you two reminded me of what I was . I was void of emotions but seeing you, willing to sacrifice yourself for your wife, has brought back those emotions in me which I once treasured . I have again started believing in love ."
Markus said in a raspy voice " Thank you , Thank you for your kind words . I also had lost myself until I found Saana . She showed me what it felt to love someone with all your heart . I also now strongly believe in love because …because …" his voice choked as he suddenly cried, and tears fell on Madam Butterfly's feet.
Feeling the drop of tears on her feet ,Madam Butterfly tenderly smiled and said "Oh , you crying fool " and bent down to pick up Markus from her feet .
"…BECAUSE LOVE KILLS "
shouted Markus aka Kei as he shivved his eight hidden talons deeply into Madam Butterfly's throat performing a vertical "holy slash".
The four pair of talons sliced through her throat like a hot knife cutting through butter and before she could even blink , her head was severed off from her body and fell in Kei's lap.
It happened so instantaneously that her beheaded head still had that tender smile lingering on her lips even though her eyes protruded out in shock .
Her headless body fell on the floor and started pumping out blood from the severed portion of the neck with an eerie sloshing sound drenching the floor in blood again.
Markus dropped Madam Butterfly's head on the floor and sat with his arms and legs stretched and made a moaning sound as a delicious chill ran up his spine spreading comfort and warmth throughout his body .
His decoy had succeeded beyond expectation.
He reflected how his plan to lure Kervyn by using Saana as a bait worked out perfectly. Initially he had thought that both Kervyn and Saana would be killed by the lady mercenary .
But things took a turn and only Kervyn was attacked.
So, reading the situation he understood that Saana would be spared since she was being saved . He would have still been a target, if Saana had opened her mouth and blurted all she knew, in front of the lady .
There was also the risk of the lady mercenary finding out that she had not killed the real Kaiser if she had checked Kervyn' s body by removing his arm gloves .
So, he improvised his plan and took a risk .
He hurt himself by banging the back of his head on a rock and confronted the lady mercenary .
He understood that he had to play an emotional card to make her lower her guard, so he talked about love, sacrifice and Saana being with child . He had also accounted the factor that Saana would participate in his ruse since she was a foolish greedy female . But her acting skills were praiseworthy as it also helped him to mold the situation in his favor .
His risk had paid off .
He was off the hook for now .
He smiled and looked at Saana thinking " She needs a good reward ."
