Chapter 23 - Escape with the bride. 2

It was completely unexpected for Pletus to be this direct. Faced with his brother in law's rage-filled accusations Pontus actually took a step back before gnashing his teeth.

"And so what? They are my daughters and I retain the right to decide their futures. How dare you a subject of the house of Oceanus speak to me this way? I warn you as well. For the sake of my wife I have tolerated your insubordination all this while. But that was only if you never touched my bottom-line, which you are dangerously close to trespassing." Pontus roared.

He was just about to say something else when Nrohyu rose to his feet and stopped him with a raised palm. He slowly took measured steps towards 'Pletus' who watched him in amusement as he neared.

"Revered uncle, this is not only the desire of the Nereid clan but my fathers as well. Could you possibly spare us some face. I promise to treat your niece as a treasure for as long as I live. So could you please give us your blessing?" Nrohyu implored, shocking all who were present.

This was the largest display of emotion they had ever witnessed from a toxin immortal, and showed that to some extent Nrohyu did indeed have feelings for Xara.

Canaan was surprised and now slightly a bit reluctant to carry out his plan. Besides Nrohyu, Pontus showed some surprise in his expression as well.

Unfortunately all it took was for the scene of Lothal's death to flash across his mind and his expression froze back into indifference.

"But I must not and will not agree to this. Where does that leave us?" 'Pletus' replied with a smile that was not a smile.

Nrohyu's expression froze before letting out a reluctant sigh. "Unfortunately, at conflict!"

Around both he and Xara several armored guards holding viridian green lancets that glinted with a deep poisonous light appeared. The guards around 'Pletus' also brought out their dark trident in challenge.

Seeing a chance to eliminate one of his obstacles Pontus's eyes shone with made glees.

Besides him, an uncertain light flashed in Corissa eyes, however before she could try to salvage the situation, Nrohyu waved his palms to commence the attack.

"Uncle I want you to remember that this was not my desire at all, I only love Xara too much to give up on her." Nrohyu remarked in a deeply saddened voice.

"Wait." Two voices exclaimed in horror. One was obviously Corrissa's while the other was from the unfeeling Xara.

Unfortunately the lances of Nrohyu's guard had already extended towards Pletus and his guard, glinting with a poisonous light meant to reap their lives.

However just as the cold viridian blades reached him, 'Pletus' revealed an uncharacteristic cold smile. He and the guards around him disappeared, causing the extended blades to cleave through empty space. Then the next moment he appeared besides the two spouses and clamped his palm around Xara's wrist.

Then before everyone eyes his speed broke through all reasonable limits as he disappeared from the wedding hall. Transforming into a light blue streak as he raced across the watery depths at speed beyond the comprehension of anyone present.

From 'Pletus' starting to move to his escape, it had only taken two seconds. Everyone's eyes opened wide and there wasn't a single person who had been able to react in time.

What kind of speed was this!

Just how was this possible?

There were several gold class devils in the hall both none had been able to follow Pletus's movements.

The crowd inside and outside the wedding hall finally reacted as all kinds of shocked cries rang out, as well as countless eyes filled with pity looking towards Nrohyu. To think his bride had been stolen from him in such a manner that he had not been able to keep the slightest iota of his dignity as a man.

Pontus swallowed as his forehead creased in sweat. He approached Nrohyu and began to speak softly.

"Young master don't worry too much. My brother in law is fond of these tantrums…"

[Pah]

A large slap rang out through space as Pontus rolled on the floor with a swollen cheek,

"Trash!" Nrohyu cursed Pontus with an extremely dark look on his face. He left the wedding hall without a single word, not even saying goodbye to anyone. The wedding ceremony where his bride had been arrogantly taken by someone else, he had lost all face.

"Pletus!! You better not fall in my hands in the near future or I will make your life a living hell!" he cursed.

Surprisingly Corissa breathed a sigh of relief despite the current developments. Neither her younger brother nor daughter would come to any harm.

If only she knew how wrong she was….

'Pletus' arrived in front of a strange deserted underwater castle. He had found one and made it his temporary residence after he had decided to deal with the house of Oceanus. Of course he had renovated it to some extent with his vast power. For example both he and Xara appeared in a vast empty dark space that stretched out for an infinity, courtesy of his modifying the spatial laws for most of the chambers.

"Uncle, what is your goal?" Xara hadn't said a thing the entire way, but now that she had finally calmed down, her beautiful eyes coldly looked at him through the her veil, vaguely aware of her uncles strangeness.

She watched with shocked as her 'uncle' turned to her with a cruel smile as his features burned away to reveal a dreadfully handsome devil.

Even Xara's cold heart fluctuated slightly as she took in his heavenly features. As she stared into his deep eyes she felt herself slowly slipping into them, she was completely aware of what was happening but unwilling to pull herself from the illusion.

Mustering every bit of a herculean will she was unaware she possessed, she tore herself from the snare of his eyes.

Xara felt restless, but she wasn't really worried. She glanced at the hand holding with a cold laugh.

The water around her wrist hardened into a circular blade and wound around Canaan's arm, shrinking in an attempt to cut it.

[Chink]

The cold smile on Xara's face disappeared as her pupils dilated wide in shock. The extremely sharp blade which was filled with most of her power clanged harmlessly against his skin. Unable to advance any further no matter how much she willed it to. Canaan in front of her didn't react at all, he just continued to favour her with an amused glance.

His amusement translated into an evil laugh as he finally released her.

"You...Who are you!" Xara questioned in apparent shock.

"Me?" Canaan replied with a laugh. "I am just a demon that will take revenge at any cost. Don't waste any of your words, just tell me about your clan. For example, your core water devil art and the location of life vain, yes those will do nicely" Canaan grinned evilly as he trapped her in-between his arms.

"You...You should give up! Our Clan Family doesn't trouble anyone. If our clan has wronged you, I apologize on everyone's behalf. But other than that, you will not get anything out of me." Xara's heart was wildly beating. He was clearly only one person, however she had a strange feeling that if she gave in to his request there would be no good end awaiting her or her family.

"Is it that easy to you, to earn ones forgiveness? How could there be such convenient thing?" Canaan said in a disdainfully. His hands tore off her veil, completely revealing the perfect outline of her face and her flawless creamy white skin.

A fair glowing complexion that sparkled in the dark space, long delicate eyes lashes that sparkled with every movement all these feature were complemented by her wedding dress to present a truly celestial picture, she was indeed unbelievably beautiful. Although she was panicking, she couldn't hide the frigid aura and pure grace that she possessed.

After his momentary surprise, he came back to his senses. Canaan threw the veil onto the ground and ground it under his heel, sighing. "Unfortunately you are not getting married. Today isn't the beginning of your happiness but a marker of a far more dreadful event. However, I must ask once more, are you sure you won't talk?"

Canaan never planned on using her for information. No, this pitiful woman was a means to vent out all of his dark emotions.

"No! I will not!" Xara looked at him disdainfully as she revealed a cold smile.

To her surprise Canaan revealed a joyful smile. "Thank you for giving me such a perfect answer. This would have been so boring otherwise."

Canaan waved his palm and Xara's wedding gown completely disintegrated, revealing he bare body to the world. His power also forced her to take her other form. Her tail morphed into two beautiful human legs.

"You..." Xara protectively covered her chest. The frigid and cold gaze from before had completely transformed into panic. She didn't have the time to think about why her clothes had disappeared, there was only anger and pleading in her panicked eyes.

"Please...give me back my clothes." Being almost completely naked in front of a man, she couldn't act arrogantly anymore. She was the crown princess of a principal clan, she hadn't even touched a man's hand before, so when had she ever suffered this kind of shame?

"Yes, yes beg!" Canaan did not fell the slightest bit remorseful, rather he was overcome with the bliss of vengeance. This despair, he would show everyone from her wretched clan. He smiled evilly and grabbed her arms, separating them from her large chest.

"Don't..." She screamed.

A pair of snow white peaks bounced out, creating turbulent waves. Canaan's right hand came forward to grab one of the peaks as he licked his lips lustfully and said, "I never thought that there was such a big pair hidden under that cold appearance. It seems like you don't forget to play with yourself from time to time."

With her pure body being defiled by a man, Xara felt like she had fallen into an abyss. She desperately tried to struggle, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't break free of Canaan's grip.

"Please...Let me go. Other than that request, I can promise anything else." Xara had completely despaired. Her last bit of self-worth was shattered and tears began to flow from her eyes. She never would have thought that she would one day be in this situation like this.

"Oh, is that so? Any requests at all?" can's fingers went into the gully between her peaks and then drew a circle around the two pink tips. His left hand went between her rich, shapely thighs as he kept poking at her flower.

Xara felt like she had been struck by lightning. She heard Canaan's voice by her ears and suddenly felt a bit of hope, "As long as you let me go, other than selling out my family, I can promise anything.

"Alright, I feel like being benevolent today. As long as you use your mouth to serve me, I'll let you go." Canaan remarked as he stepped in in front of her.

Xara's body trembled as she looked at him with eyes filled with even more anger and fear.

"You wretched demon spawn!" She cursed.

"Your right! That is awfully selfish of me. How about I simply return you as you are right now to your wedding hall and allow all your guest to savour the appearance of the number one beauty of the undersea realms. How much do you think they'll thank me?" Canaan revealed a ruthless smile as he inched closer.

With this dastardly threat, Xara completely fell into despair. She wiped off her tears and slowly knelt. She closed her eyes and reached out her little tongue towards his throbbing member.

With the tender movements of the tongue and the warm feeling assaulting his mind, Canaan couldn't help letting out a low groan. His lips curled in intoxication."

Xara seemed like she had accepted her fate. Canaan revealed a satisfied devilish smile as he held her head while pushing, reaching the back of her throat with each thrust.

Wishing to escape this nightmare as soon as possible, so she didn't struggle, only doing her best. Her beautiful body swayed with each movement, and her large breast swayed back and forth, creating dazzling undulations.

After losing all sense of time due to the deep humiliation, Xara's body became hot. She didn't know how long it was before the thick liquid shot in her mouth and she unconsciously looked up while choking, swallowing most of the liquid in her mouth. The rest of it came out of the corners of her mouth, looking quite erotic.

'It's over...It's finally over...' She inwardly wept
