" Whe...where am I? "
The voice of princess lily was heard as she slowly opened her blurry eyes to see herself lying on a bed, she calmly looked around to see where she was but she couldn't recognize this strange room.
The door leading into the bedroom suddenly opened up when he came in, rey castle!
" My my, look who decided to finally wake up from her slumber huh? How's your health princess? " rey castle asked with smiles on his face, princess lily gasped immediately she sighted the deathmaker.
" You.....the deathmaker, what are you doing here " princess lily roared out as she dived right out from the bed, she landed on her feet when she charged against the deathmaker without hesitation.
The deathmaker blocked her punch without even moving back when he grinned evilly, princess lily remained calm while staring at the deathmaker who slowly moved back after releasing his grip on her.
" What am I doing here? And where am I? Deathmaker!! " princess lily asked.
" You are currently in the novelda city, you were transported close to this city by that single horned demon while it was trying to kill you and later feed on you " the deathmaker answered calmly.
" Oh yes I remembered that, how long have I been asleep? " princess lily asked.
" Two days, it seems you are not strong enough to wield a battle suit created from the body of a five marker demon, and besides it's a white core for that matter.....lucky you " the deathmaker answered.
" What the hell? I've been asleep for two days? What about my crew? What about the crimson lion company? What happened to them? " princess lily asked with a worried look written on her face.
" They are fine, your captain rudeus killed the five marker demon, it seems he isn't just a captain for nothing but the vermax empire is on a man-hunt for you princess, they are all worried " the deathmaker stated.
" I have to go back, my people....they need me " princess lily spoke out.
" Well yes because you are the princess of the vermax empire, an high noble for that matter so why wouldn't they need you but you should understand that you are not strong enough to start traveling back " the deathmaker said.
" The novelda city is located at the western side of the free-city but it's a few miles away from the free-city which is also far from the vermax empire, we can't stay here any longer, we have to leave " princess lily stated.
" And who's we? You seems to have forgotten I am a criminal on deathrow in the vermax empire so I ain't visiting that empire soon enough " the deathmaker said as he held a bottle of wine in his hand.
" I remembered you having a conversation with that single horned demon like you two were acquainted, but I was too weak so I barely saw anything or heard anything, how did you know such a demon? " princess lily asked.
" We aren't acquainted, I just happened to have killed her colleague who was a single horned demon and I made use of him, his skin is my suit and his heart is my core " the deathmaker answered.
" What happened to the single horned demon? " princess lily asked.
" If you want to know, I killed her already.....since she wouldn't answer the questions I asked, I killed her but forced her to answer my question before ending her life, killing a single horned demon ain't stressful " the deathmaker answered.
" You killed a single horned demon alone? A wind type to be precise? Aren't elemental horned demons considered calamity level because they are the forces of terrifying nature? " princess lily asked in shock.
" Ummmm well you may be right girl since adolf was a lightning type demon and my lightning powers are quite terrifying " the deathmaker stated when princess lily widened her eyes in shock.
" You killed a single horned lightning type demon? What do you mean by your powers? "
" Oh? Weren't you told? If you killed an elemental demon and use its body for your battle suit, you possess the elemental powers of that demon you killed, they really aren't teaching ya anything huh? " the deathmaker asked.
" You don't have to insult me but if I recall, we the crimson lion company were the ones who were demon-hunting, what happened to the body of the single horned demon? " princess lily asked.
" Forget about it, the body of the horned demon belongs to me " the deathmaker answered.
" Belongs to you? What are you talking about? Don't you have a battle suit already? Why would you need another one? " princess lily asked when the deathmaker sipped from his bottle of wine when he smiled.
" There is a secret technique only I possess, I can merge two demonic bodies into one, like completely merging the two single horned demons and making them a perfect battle suit to enhance myself " the deathmaker answered.
" Hereby possessing the powers to control the wind? " princess lily asked.
" That's correct princess, it seems you aren't as dumb as I thought you would be, but aren't you greedy? I killed the single horned demon and you want to take what I killed huh? " the deathmaker asked.
" You owe me brat, you killed uncle adrian and you have to pay for that, although you will pay with your life but for now, I need to be compensated " princess lily spoke out with authority when the deathmaker laughed out loud.
" What a crazy joke to say princess, you really are a spoilt brat huh? I'm an s-class assassin, I owe you nothing and besides not for the death of prince adrian, he got it coming to him " the deathmaker said.
" Oh is that so? You really are just a kid who loves to kill " princess lily said.
" That's correct my lady and now my job here is settled, I still have a target to kill but since the free-city is a no kill zone, I have to wait until he leaves the free-city so he will be easy to kill " the deathmaker stated.
" Wait, who is your target? " princess lily calmly asked.
" Memphis zaichi, he is a friend of your uncle adrian and he will be dying anytime soon, although I would wish the western empires to crumble to dust but I have no interest in their politics " the deathmaker said when he sighed.
" You wish to kill memphis zaichi? Are you really craving for death? Memphis zaichi is the prime minister of the vorgan empire, an empire who basically focuses purely on military power and control. "
" He has a squadron of powerful huntsmen who are protecting him, you won't easily get your hands on him and I wish you to fail, but I will be the one who gets to kill you with my own hands, deathmaker " princess lily said.
" He-he-he-he, that's the spirit babe.....but don't call me deathmaker " rey said.
" Babe? Who the hell do you think you are calling babe? I'm the one who is going to bless the world by getting rid of you, I'm your end " princess lily bragged when the deathmaker climbed on the bed.
" Bla bla bla, you should know that I could easily kill you anytime I wanted but somehow I am letting you live, no matter how strong you grow princess....you can never reach my level " the deathmaker stated.
" Oh? Aren't you seventeen years old? " princess lily asked.
" And what about that? I'm older than you with two months, you were born on november while I was born on august, there is a difference.....I'm your senior " the deathmaker said when he drank from his bottle of wine.
" What a joke you truly are and besides why did you said I shouldn't call you deathmaker? "
" Oh that? Well it's basically simple isn't it? The name is rey castle, calling the deathmaker every time will just be letting everyone know that I am the infamous assassin of the north, call me rey baby " rey said when he chuckled softly.
He could see the anger written on the face of princess lily when he smiled, he drank from his bottle of wine, almost finishing the content of the bottle when he grinned evilly, he remained relaxed.
" Are you stupid or what? Stop calling me baby " princess lily screamed out.
" He-he-he-he, what a boring girl you truly are, if you are wondering where your battle suit is, it's locked in the same area were mine is locked so be calm, when we are leaving....I will hand to you " rey stated.
" Ok, you said your name is rey castle right? The surname castle means you are from the famous house castle? The house castle are known for their crafts in swordsmanship and martial arts. "
" But they are all mostly in the line of assassins since their current family head is benjin castle, the infamous leader of the assassin guild, the one who is known as knight of destruction and the world ender!! " princess lily stated.
" So father is this popular huh? But I'm adopted not a direct blood of the house castle, I happened to be raised by the chief so he is the father I never had, I carry the family name even though I am adopted " rey replied.
" What about your real family? " princess lily asked.
" You should ask your dead uncle and memphis zaichi that same question, you think your uncle is innocent then you should make some research concerning the baylor slaughter incident " rey said.
" the baylor slaughter incident? why haven't i heard of that? " princess lily asked.
" huh? so they covered it up so even the princess has not a single idea what the baylor slaughter incident is. you are still healing....come to bed and take a nice nap, daddy is here to protect ya " rey said with smiles on his face.
" you are creepy boy, when are you leaving for your hunting? " princess lily calmly asked.
" the crimson lion are currently searching across the west to find you, so they will be reaching here anytime soon. you can stay here and wait for them so you won't get lost. i will soon be leaving. "
" my prey is leaving the free-city in a few hours, " rey said when he grinned evily. princess lily sighed when she made her way back to the bed, but she kicked rey right out of the bed, and he crashed on the ground.
" what? you nobles are so cruel, " rey complained.
" i will be leaving with you, and i will also be escorting you to your hunting of memphis zaichi. he may be acquainted with my uncle, but i never liked him anyways. in fact....i never really understood their relationship, " princess lily said.
" ah, i see.....it's fine by me, but don't be too scared of human death
Meanwhile
" so medrida is dead huh? killed by the one who possesses the mark of death, what a surprise " a dark voice was heard from the gathering, the gathering of demons who continuously caused an uproar.
there were several numbers of single horned demons and intelligent eighth marker demons present, when footsteps could be heard as the door leading into this meeting hall suddenly opened up.
" greetings to you all my brethren, we may have lost a member but we have gained a valid information, medrida wasn't useless to the end after all....." the calm voice of the mysterious demon was heard.
" huh? who the hell are you? " a single horned demon asked in confusion.
" my my, sorry for not introducing myself earlier, the name is ral and i'm the counselor of the void, while the authors of pain remain inactive, i will be the one in charge of handling the matters of the void "
a three horned demon who stands as the new counselor of the void and the representative of the authors of pain, he gently bowed his head before the hordes of demons present in this meeting room.
" counselor huh? so tell us ral.....what are the informations that medrida's death brought to us? " a single horned demon calmly asked when he grinned evilly, a gigantic type single horned demon.
" firstly, the location of the one who bares the mark of death and second and the key who bares the scents of those accursed sovereigns....so her death wasn't useless after all unlike adolf "
ral voiced out with a calm voice when he smirked evilly.
" the void has sent its greetings to the one who bares the mark of death, now.....it's time to make our move, our move to unite the world for the lord of nemesis who will soon return " ral declared with authority when he grinned evilly.
" all will bow to the void!! "
